,Why You Eaj Need The -BS9S=9e9B9BBK=S^ The average woman' spends entirely too much time and effort in her kitchen. This would not be so deplorable if it were not so unnecessary—for any women can positively lessen her kitchen labor by means of the step-saving HOOSIER. The HOOSIER assigns to every kitchen utensil and every needed ingredient its simple, logical place—easy to get at without stooping, reaching, standing or walking about. Carefully designed attachments —such as the patented fluffing flour sifter not only enable you to do quicker work, but better work, as well. Consequently, every day you do without the HOOSIER you put an undue tax on your ability as a housewife and hostess. W. J. WRIGHT

PURDUE TO STAY IN CONFERENCE DIRECTOR SAYS

Demal of reports that Purdue university was to be dropped from the Western Conference was made today by Nelson Kellogg, director of athletics at Purdue. Director Kellogg said there was no foundation for the rumor, which apparently was circulated in an attempt to “belittle” athletics at Purdue. “Purdue has scheduled twelve basketball games for this winter and spring, the maximum permitted by the conference, and the usual run of indoor and outdoor track meets,” Kellogg Said. “For the 1921 season in football we have five conference games scheduled.”

EFFICIENT SERVANT TO BE RETIRED

Harry B. Murray, one of the most efficient public servants known to the people of this community, has been notified by the government that on account of his having reached the, age of 65 he will be retired from the service of rural mail carrier .out of this city on January 21, 1921. Mt. Murray will be given a pension of S3O per but would greatly prefer to remain in the service and his retirement is very much* regretted by the patrons, who appreciate his splendid. service. There is a pretty general feeling that his Vetirement should not have been required at this time. Mr. Murray has been in the mail service for some sixteen years. As far as we are able to ascertain he is the first carrier in the county to. be • retired. There are a number in the service in the county, who were serving when Mr. Murray began. Among them are, Grover Smith of Wheatfield, George Jones of Remington, and A. M. Bringle of Fair Oaka." Vernon Harrington, who is the substitute on the route, and is now serving, while Mr. Murray is taking his vacation, may be Mr. Murray’s successor. Mr. Harrington is a Democrat. It is anticipated that other changes in the postal service in this city will be forthcoming directly after March fourth. It has not been entirely forgotten that a most strenuous and finally successful effort was made some eight years ago to retire an efficient servant, whose great weakness was that he was a Republican. There will be a request made that the same standards applied at this time be used again.

BANQUET PROMISES TO BE AN ENJOYABLE AFFAIR

At the time of going to press but three or four tickets to the banquet to be tendered the members of the local football team by the football fans at the Barns restaurant at eight-thirty o’clock this Thursday evening had been disposed of, according to those in charge of the ticket sale. Anyone desiring to attend the banquet and who has not yet made arrangements to do so, should get in touch with Mr. Barnes and arrangements will be made to care for those who decide to attend at the last minute.

The committee urge that all who have purchased tickets be present as the success of the banquet depends upon a full attendance* Plans for next year’s team are to be discussed and the foundation laid for a football organisation that will permit the launching of the game on a greater scale than ever before in the history of the city, and this cannot be done unless there is a good representation of substantial citizens present.. The banquet is not being given as a money making proposition, but simply to express to the members of the team' an appreciation of their services ■during the season just brought to a close, and for the purpose of creating further interest among the fans. 9 Those who will attend the ban-quet-are invited to gather at the Van* Rensselaer club room before going to the restaurant. Following the banquet, the club rooms will again be thrown open and a smoker held, to which all are invited.

ROBBERS LOOT CULVER BANK

SHERIFF WOODWORTH NOTIFIED TO BE ON OUTLOOK FOR FLEEING ROBBERS Sheriff True* D. Woodworth was notified Wednesday evening to be on the lookout for a robber in a big black and yellow automobile, who was fleeing., from Culver, after taking part in robbing the Exchange Bank, a private financial institution at Culver, which was held up and robbed by five masked bandits at 10:00 a. m. Wednesday. At that hour the men drove up to the bank in a black and yellow Marmon car, two of them remaining in the automobile and the other three went into the building, which, at the time, was filled with people. “Hands up,” they ordered, flourishing their revolvers. The bank employes and customers, too frightened to resist, complied with the request and helplessly watched the robbers sweep the money from the desks of the cashier and tellers into their pockets. No effort, however, was made to open the safe in the rear of the room. While the robbers were backing out of the bank, a man passing by looked through the windows and saw what was going on. He immediately called assistance and before the bandits had left the place, opened fire on them. The robbers offered battle and in the shooting which followed Jacob Saime was wounded in the jaw* and Jerome Zechial was shot through the hip. Both men are in the hospital at Culver Military academy. A hurriedly organized posse gave chase to the fleeing robbers and three of them were captured before the got out of the city limits. One was caught at Burr Oak, Ind., and the fifth is still at Liberty. J. D. Shilling, president of the bank, is unable to state how much money the robbers got, but most of the cash had been recovered. He estimated that the loss will not be more than a few hundred dollars.

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES. The Sunday school will meet promptly at 9:30. Let us start the year with a large attendance. The pastor will preach at the morning service at 10:45. The pastor’s theme will be “David’s Prayer for Solomon.” This will be a New Year’s meditation. The Epworth League will hold its devotional meeting at 6 o’clock. The monthly union service will be held at the Christian church at 7 o’clock. Dr. Fleming, of the Presbyterian church will preach the sermon. The annual Sunday school election will be held early in the evening on Friday and the members of the Sunday school board are earnestly requested to be present. The mid-week church night supper was changed to Friday evening, the meeting to continue to midnight, making a watch night meeting. A program covering every hour of the evening has been prepared. Over 130 have expressed their desire to attend at least a part of this meeting. The sale of the tickets is closed.

THOMPSON AND KIRK.

It’s hard to realize how a firm can sell goods at less than cost and be glad to do it. But such is often the case. It is worth something to clean up and it never means a loss on the year’s business. Nothen—bibs on, here’s the soup. If taken before six o’clock Dec. 31, this year of our Lord and high prices, we will Sell TWO FRANKLIN SEDANS FOR SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS. Think of it. Actual value three months ago, nine thousand eighty dollars. Actual value after .January, eight thousand eighty-four dollars. These prices are considerably below our net, but this sale would boost us into a bonus on our year’s business. Folks, quit running down rainbows, here’s a pot of gold at your feet. Buy a Sedan at less than touring car price and help us over. Only TWO and first come first SEVERED. THOMPSON & KIRK.

CHARLES HALLECK TO DIRECT EDUCATIONAL DRIVE IN THIS DISTRICT

Charles A. Halleck of Rensselaer was chosen chairman of the Tenth | Congressional District organization by county chairmen from his disjtrict attending Indiana University to ' lead in the formation of a program ; for more public support of the ! state educational institution and education in Indiana. Chairman Halleck is a Junior at the University and is active in student affairs. Indiana University and the other state institutions are asking for sufficient levy to enable them to keep pace with the forward movement in higher education and give the best ! instruction possible to the students, jln the past few years the states ; surrounding Indiana have broaden'ed their support of the university and because of this the l>est memi bers of the faculties of the state i educational institutions in Indiana have been attracted away from the Hoosier state. To regain their position in educational circles Indiana’s schools of higher learning I must have more liberal public sup- : port. i AH the state educational instituj tions in Indiana are cramped for class rooms and need more equip- j ment. Enrollment has increased a large per cent and the funds of the j state educational institutions, Indiana, Purdue, and State Normal,, have not been sufficient to permit building new class rooms. Surrounding state supported universities have budgets as high as three times as much as the Indiana institutions. HaUeck is also chairman of the Jasper County organization. Other Jasper county students chosen in the county organization are C. B. Howard of Remington, vice-chairman, and Sara Alice O’Neal of Rensselaer, secretary. This committee will have charge of the school program in their county.

FORMER CITIZEN TELLS OF WONDERS OF CALIFORNIA

I The following letter is from Mrs. Carrie Brenner, a former resident of this city and we know it will be appreciated by our readers, i Santa Cruz, Calif. December 19, 1920 Mr. L. H. Hamilton, Editor RePublican, Dear Sir:— ! I want to thank you for sending me the address of Mr. and Mm. W. !L. Wishard. I also want to congratulate you upon the arrival of your little granddaughter. I am always very much interested in any i mention I see of your son, Fred. He was certainly one of the bravest of the brave. He was always ' the favorite with me of the boys ; who carried the paper and we would often have a little visit, especially if I happened to have a fresh snpply of cookies, which, as I remember, Fred, as most boys are, was very fond of. I hope that some time be may find it convenient to visit Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz is about ninety miles south of San Francisco, a very popular summer resort on Monterey Bay. Many people come here for the winter as well as summer. We have a wonderful climate, never extremely warm or cold. I can pick a few ripe raspberries almost any time during the winter. I have peas in bloom, also strawberries. We have had an unusually rainy winter, but it has been dear and warm and the sun quickly drys things off after a rain., It is a great sight to see the boys daring a storm. I have my own home here, just a block from the Bay, which may he seen from my south windows, and from the north windows the Santa Cruz mountains. I often watch the lights of the lighthouse, which is about two miles out. The big redwood trees are about six miles north of here, and the National Redwood Park about twelve miles, ft is a wonderful trip to': the park, mountain road all the way. Thanking you'again for the information, I remain Respectfully yours, I MRS. CARRIE BRENNER,
