HOOVER ELECTRIC SUCTION SWEEPER . IT BEATS..,. AS IT SWEEPS AS IT CLEANS Don’t start bouse cleaning without a Hoover ! Clean rugs are the foundation of immaculate surroundings. Constant and proper cleaning will prolong their life and charm. They should be gently beaten, to dislodge embedded grit. They should be carefully swept, to detach all clinging .litter. They should be suctioned cleaned to with- ' draw the loosened dirt. Only THE HOOVER does all these. And it is the largest-selling electric cleaner jn the world. W. J. WRIGHT

SFMMW AFI INDIANA. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1920.

WANT MUNICIPAL COAL YARD

PETITIONS BEING CIRCULATED TO BE PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL. I The following petition is being circulated: , PETITION. To the City Council of Rensselaer, Indiana* We, the undersigned citizens, do beg leave to file this petition, with the Honorable Board, asking for relief in thfs time of anguish and ,worry as to the procuring of coal for our comfort and need. We feel that*there is being an unjust profit exacted from us on coal. We would that this council purchase the coal for its citizens, under the city’s contract, then let the people have it at 31.00 a ton profit, and buy the car load at 50 cents profit a ton. We would suggest that the money be deposited for all coal, before coal was purchased of wholesalers, and in exchange a receipt for the amount of coal to be procured by each firm or individual at the railroad track, or as the Council sees fit. The City of Rensselaer has its lights and water, why not its coal in a like manner? We want to live and let live if they want to live as We live. Also that there be put in a city scale and weighmaster. We ask that our petition be promptly acted upon. Copies of the petition are being circulated and persons wishing to sign same can do so at the Montgomery News stand. There is a very great amount of uneasiness in the city as to the winter fuel supply. It seems that dealers have found it almost impossible to get coal without buying through jobbers and having to pay large premium and therefore making the coal very high. It is understood that nothing but premium hard coal has been received here and it has been sold as high as $lB and S2O per ton. Dealers claim that they have been unable to get coal from miners. The writer has seen the invoices of a number of cars of Indiana coal and the price has simply been outrageous. Some remedy for this condition should by all means be found. ' The hard coal situation is very critical. Dealers have received very little anthracite. One dealer was in Chicago last week and his firm promised him coal by December 1 and the retail price here would be much less than that which has been paid for the premium coal sold thus far this year.

MICHAEL DUFFY A REPUBLICAN

FORMER PROMINENT BENTON COUNTY DEMOCRAT CANNOT SUPPORT COX. ... . . --- ---- * * -- One of the features of the Republican meeting at Brook Friday was the address of Michael Duffy, a prominent Benton county fanner. Mr. Duffy has a large real estate holding in Newton county, also. He was as great an admirer of William Jennings Bryan as the writer was of Theodore Roosevelt. He loved former Senator John W. Kerns dearly. He had been a real fighting Democrat. He disliked to desert the old party, so he went to South Bend and heard Governor Cox make his address. He spent his good money and valuable time trying to ease his conscience, but after hearing Cox he decided that to be a good American he could not support the Democratic nominee and that he would join the thousands of other Democrats that would vote for that 100 per cent American, Senator Harding. - Those who heard Mr. Duffy s address say that he made a very effective talk, that he was very sinsere and that he had given the flatter most thorough and painstaking investigation and consideration. < The meeting at Brook had an attendance of from 1,500 to 2,000 and the enthusiasm of the occasion convinced everyone present that the polls being taken are true and that there is a landslide to the Republican party this year. The speakers were, Congressman Wood, the next Governor, Warren T. McCray, Ex-Congressman J. Adam Bede, of Minnesota, and Dorothy Cunningham. There was music by the Ladies’ quartette of Huntington, the Brook and Kentland bands. Michael Duffy, Benton county’s prominent farmer, and former ardent Democrat, was the real hero of the occasion.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS BRIGHT AT ST. JOSEPH

Under the direction of Harry “Abe" Moore, of this city, who has been employed as coach of the St. Joseph college football team for the present season, the Red and Purple clad athletes of St. Joseph have been undergoing a strenuous conditioning campaign in preparation for the opening game of the season on Sunday, October 10 when the Crane Technical college of Chicago, rated high in the ranks of secondary colleges in the middle west, furnishes the opposition. At present there are twentyeight men on the St/ Joseph squad, eight of this number being veterans. Coach Moore has plenty of weight in his line, augmented by a fast shifty set of backs, and the Red and Purple team is going to be a hard one to stop. The coach is enthusiastic over the outlook and believes that he has a winning eleven under the process of construction. ... . ~ The Morocco A. C. wiH probably firovide the opposition for the colegians on October 24 at the college campus, and negotiations are under way for the scheduling -of the 'Purdue Freshmen here in November. Wellman, former St. Joe fullback and general all round athlete, who is a great favorite at the local school, is playing the fullback position on the Purdua First year team and has made a very favorable impression, the Lafayette Journal speaking of him as being equal of Gipp in delivering forward passes.
