SPEAKING OF STYLES IN SKIRTS, READ THIS

iMen, gather around. For years the women have monopolized all the style sensations. Men, gather around and hear the latest edict of the Eeast. In a few more months if you want to ibe up to snuff, men, you will be wearing a four-button coat —and they gotta be buttoned. And the' coat will be loose. But wait, that isn’t all. The-trousers will be so tight at the knee you’ll need a shoe hdrn, and will flare out at the bottom covering up the shoe laces. In other words they are going back to the styles of 1870. Men, the menace is near at hand. They are wearing ’em at Indianapolis already and the local tailors will order them—if you want em. Boy, page the lace cuffs and the powdered wigs.

The party is composed of members of the famous First Division, all of whom distinguished themselves in sopne of the greatest battles of the war. As the name implies, the division led all other units of the army in many respects—first to arrive in France and last to leave, first to conduct a raid on the enemy trenches, first to fire a shot for America, first in line and first to be decorated for gallantry in action. ! The party is in charge of Lieutenant M. L. Correll, a North Carolinian, who experienced the sensation of going over the top in the face of the enemy fire seven different times. Lieutenant Gorrell served throughout the war, taking : part. in. some of a the greatest battles of the conflict, including Sois- ; sons, St. Mihiel and the Argonne, i The lieutenant acted as his com- ! pany’s commander ’in the latter, ■ and is the only member of the : party now in the city who escaped being wounded. All of the other members of the party took part in the above named battles and each suffered one or more wounds during his service. Lieutenant Correll and । his men wear the Fouragere,- the green shoulder cord given 'by the ! French government to every mem- । ber the First Division for gallantry in action. Some of the men also wear the Croix de Guerre, the French cross of honor. ! The party was sent out from Camp Taylor, Ky., where the First lis now located, and will remain in i Rensselaer until the latter part of the present week. An opportunity I is given all the young men of this ■community to join the famous fight- . ing unit. A limited number only will be accepted for the air service, but all other branches of the army are open to an unlimited ' number. The government has added an educational feature to the army, providing the opportunity to learn a trade —as he earns, -and which cannot be duplicated in any college in the country. !

LESLEY MILLER IS A CANDIDATE

MOROCCO EDITOR WILL MAKE RACE FOR JOINT REPRESENTATIVE. In this issue of the Republican will be found the announcement of Lesley Miller, editor of the Morocco Courier, as a candidate for the Republican nomination as joint representative in the Indiana General Assembly from the district composed of Jasper, Newton and Benton counties. The Hon. W. L. Wood, who. has ably represented this district for the past six years has declined to be a candidate and it is possible that Jasper county will not have a candidate. If that is true then Newton county is justly entitled to the support of the Republicans of Jasper county. For many years Judge C. W. Hanley, of Jasper county, has held Übe position as Judge of the circuit composed of Jasper and Newton counties and as stated above Jasper has been the home of the representative from this district for the six years just past. Under these conditions it would be fair and right that some man from Newton county should be nominated to succeed Representative Wood. Undoubtedly one of the five splendid Jasper county Republican candidates will be nominated and elected judge from this district to succeed Judge Hanley, who has declined to be a candidate for reelection. Editor Miller is a young man splendidly equipped to represent the people of .these three counties in the general assembly. He is efficient, wide awake and has a large acquaintance in the three counties which will enable him to give the people the very ’best service possible.

PEACE ON EARTH; GOOD WILL TO MEN

We had that message over 1900 years ago. We wonder what he would think of the boss (Who and wherever he is) would send an inspector down to look us over now. What would he think of the Reds and the way they treat women and children. What of the murder and misery and destruction. The Kaiser was only a bushleaguer—we almost owe him. an apology. The world had a new testament Jbut lost it. We’re convinced that the world aint square. Columbus mentioned it—Bolshevikism proves it. There’s one place the Creator is still respected. A place that is peaceful and homelike —out in Newton township . things are normal—they are buying Oaklands as usual. D. S. Makeever is runhing a sedan and J. H. Crisler has a new touring car. _

FRIENDS AND FOES CLAIM SUFFRAGE BOUT

Dover, Del., March 24.—Friends and foes of women suffrage claimed points, in today’s preliminary skirmishes in the legislature to make Delaware the T thirty-sixth State needed for ratification of the equal suffrage amendment to the federal constitution. Introduction today of ratification resolutions in both senate and house opened the actual struggle. Plans to delay a final vote until next: week were made by the suffragists ■while the opponents pressed for de-| cisive action on Friday. Both sides continued to be confident of the outcome and veteran suffragist campaigners Said the fight transcends that experienced in any other state. Conceding that at present sufficient votes were lacking in both bodies of the legislature to ratify the proposed constitutional amendment, the suffragists claimed several advantages in today’s proceedings.
