MONON MAY BE TAKEN OVER BY SOUTHERN

There is a rumor afloat in the railway circles of the city that on the first of the new year the Southern, railroad will take over the Monon and absorb it in the vast system of railways that the Southern operates throughout the South. • If there is a foundation for the report and such a thing is done, it will mean much to Rennselaer, for many additional passenger trains each twenty-four hours will pass through the city. By acquiring the Monon, the Southern will have an entrance into Chicago and all through trains to the South, including New Orleans and Jacksonville and many

What Will You Do Xmas For Starving Children of Europe

To Herbert Hoover the deaths from starvation of babes and little children has been the outstanding horror of the war —and he has seen all its phases. The carnage of artillery, the hand-to-hand grappling in No Man’s Land as dusk yielded to dawn, the frightful suffering in improvised field hospitals and the pitiful maiming and blinding of men destroyed in useful faculties but permitted to live —all these are forgotten when puny arms of hungry little ones are stretched for food that is not. The 133,000,000 which the European Relief Council seeks with which to save 3,500,000 children in Central Europe does not mean three meals a day even to those who are already deformed and stunted by insufficient feeding. Of the amount, $10,000,000 must be usel for medicines and hospital supplies. The $23,000,000 available for food will buy ONE MEAL A DAY ONLY but upon this the trail bodies can be built up to sufficient resistance to disease to Jive until the next harvest when it is hoped each country can care for its own. It is Mr. Hoover’s own plan that a large part of the money be raised at Christmas time. It is his beautiful idea that at happy American Christmas dinners there will be invisible guests, who are the starving babes of Europe. If YOU are willing to entertain one of these invisible guests — made in the image of the Christ Child who came poor and hungry—fill out the accompanying coupon and send five, ten, one hundred dollars more if possible, to your unseen guests.

.Take or mail this Coupon and Your Gift to Judson J. Hunt, SecretaryTreasurer of the Trust & Savings Bank, Rensselaer, Indiana. INVISIBLE GUESTS. Americans have been asked, as they approach a season of Christmas feasting, to visualize the suffering and sorrow 'in countries where starvation faces the people. . One suggestion is that at every table there should be invisible guests. This came from the Hoover relief fund for the 3,500,000 starving children in Europe. It might well apply also to the millions of Chinese who will starve unless they are fed, and it could include the relief work in Armenia. In many of our homes the Christmas dinner will be a pretentious meat A round the family table there will be a glow of happiness. No child in these homes will be hungry. There is room at every table for’invisible guests. Then dollars will keep one of these starving children alive for a year. The call has been made and conscience mtist determine the answer. In the midst of plenty at home there is as great distress abroad as the world has ever known. • <

CHURCH GIVES CHRISTMAS CANTATA

The Contata, “A Joke on Santa Claus” was given by members of the Christian Bible School Thursday evening, under the direction of Dr. W. L. Myer. The program was very much enjoyed by a large audience which filled the auditorium. Every part was well rendered. Each person present whs remembered with a gift. —The Invisible Guest— Plenty of fresh oysters for Xmas at the College Inn. —The Invisible Guest—

Ten dollars will keep a child for tea months or until the next harvest. Already Roumania and Servia have recovered and are feeding and clothing their orphans and needy children. But in the areas where Mr- Hoover’s representatives say that help is most urgently needed there is ao hope save from Ameri-e. The $23,000,000 aeeded will not pay for one modern dreadnought battleship. But it will hold life in 3,500,000 children who will be factors in public opinion in later years, and America’s gratitude to and love for France because of aid In the Revolution will be duplicated In the friends America will make by this big-hearted generous gift. Eight organizations that have been working In the affected countries have combined in this appeal that there may be no duplication. They are American Relief Administration, American Red Cross, American Friends Service Committee (Quakers), Federal Council of Churches of Christ In America, Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Knights of Columbus, Young Men’s Christian Association, Young Women’s Christian Association. For every dollar of American money spent for food the countries whose children will be helped will spend two dollars for expenses of transportation and distribution Mors than 100,000 business and professional men In Central Europe are serving without pay. No freight will be charged against the $33,000,000 for ocean or rail shipments. No part of the expenses of the campaign to raise the money is charged against it. Every dollar goes for food or medicines or supplies.

HAPPY DAYS THE days are here when gloom, and fear, and trouble must depart; when everyone must think of fun, and joy be in each heart; when greed and hate, and every trait that’s selfish or that’s mean should take a tip, and pack its grip, and leave the happy scene. Friend unto friend does now extend a wish for luck and cheer. For Xmas Day and New Year, gay, we make this wish, sincere: May these days bring you everything that makes for gladness, true —and may they bless you with success that lasts a whole life thru. • THE G.
