' , FAIR OAKS. The'sick in our town art recovering. Mrs. David Winslow -is on the sick list this,week. Cottage prayer meeting was held Wednesday evening at Sam Potts’. There were several from here attended Sale Day at Rensselaer Wednesday. All, who are interested and can, should attend the school house discussion here Saturday. Jap Warbritton moved Sunday down to Brook, it is reported that his son Joe is down there. There was another carload of crushed stone hauled onto the county line gravel road this week. The weather took on a very decided change Wednesday night when it turned cold and froze considerably. Bryant Pritchett and wife left Monday morning for Buchanan, Mich., where he expects to work in a shop. Rev. Postill made his regular trip here Sunday and delivered a splendid sermon to a very attentive congregation. . We have been having pretty fair weather for several days which has started the farmers out into their fields to sowing oats. Charles Penwright was in our city one day last week and made some changes in Walter McConnell’s residence. Quick and good work was a result. It is reported that Cal Burroughs has sold out his interest in his blacksmith shop to Tom Mallatt, all except his tools, and will seek some other location. The dredge on the Thompson land has dug from the east up to the Motion railroad and backed down to cut on down to the river, a distance ot something over a mile yet. Mrs. C. A. Gundv and son Charles, who have been staying with her mother at Rensselaer since last fall, came home last week to remain. Her daughter Ruth and husband, H. Weaver, moved to Shelby, where he has a position as telegraph operator. Mrs. Kesler will leave in about a week or ten days for California to a place near Bong Beach. The reports are that she will quit traveling life’s journey single handed when she gets out there. Her little grand daughter who has been living with her will go with her. A New Gold Camp. From a population of less than 300 six months ago to one of nearly 2,000 today is the story of the new gold fields at Oatman, Ariz. Oatman promises within the next six months to almost double its population. Less than a year ago there were close to 200 persons in the com mum ity and not over half dozen propel - ' ties in active Operation. Today, more than 7 5 strong corporations completely financed and fully equipped with po.Verful hoisting plants, air compressors and machine drills, and installation sufficient to open up and exploit the great vein svs-! tom of the district at a depth of 500 to 2,000 feet, are working day and night. Oatman today has a number of three-story houses, electric light and water systems, picture shows and cabarets, and 25 automobile stages, which run daily from Needles, Cal., to the southeast into the district. There are also 20 automobiles running from Kingman, Ariz., on the east, the shipping point for the mining timber and machinery. The camp is unique among new' mining communities, inasmuch as it is a dry town and without the usual gambling outfits.—Wall Street Journal. The worst extravangance is waste of time; but it is not extravagance TO READ THIS AD I have three makes of buggies for sale that can not be topped by any firm in four states—Binkley, Page Bros, and Studebqker. All are guarantee jobs. Just received the Bink-| ley car, call and inspect same. All j three styles have been sold off my! floors for years. All these buggies | are up-to-date in style and quality! and the prices are right, too. No' advance at my shop nor loss of quality. On Front Street, Rensselaer, Ind, Yours respectfully, CHAS. A. ROBERTS.

Taken with Croup “A few nights ago one of my patrons had a child taken with croup,” writes M. T. Davis, merchant, Bearsville, W. Va. ‘‘About midnight he came to my store and bought a bottle of Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound, Before morning the child was entirely recovered.” Many such letters have been written. Sold everywhere.—Advt. * * *.*'*'* • * * * * * * * * * RENSSELAER FARMERS’ • * GRAIN COMPANY ' * See the committee having • * charge of soliciting the sale of* * stock in the Rensselaer Farm- • * ers’ Grain company and sub-* * scribe for a few shares before all • * are taken, and receive better * * prices for your grain.—'-Advt. •

SCRAPS Spaniards pronounce all vowels. German regiments have chiropodists with thenv j No cold that science has been able ! to produce will’ kill the germ spore. The timber and other lands owned by the United States are a source of profit which is growing yearly. In times of peace much of the light Maryland tobacco was export;ed to mix with the heavy German leaf. j Because it lacks' accessible quarries from w hich to got paving maj terials, Brazil is forced to import j cobblestones from Portugal. . ! JJigarette factories have been esj tablished in China, but the more particular smokers prefer a United States brand mark! Japan is planning to adopt an alphabet of 4 7 letters, including most of the Roman characters, some Russian and the rest originals symbols. In the southern Pacific a large undersea desert was recently discovered. Over its whole area not a i vestige of plant or animal life could : be found. Cellulose from wood fiber is being used in Europe as a substitute for , absorbent cotton, which has become relatively scarce because of the war j demands. I The annual production of sulphur in the United States has increased front a few' more than 3,000 tons to , more than 230,000 tons in the last t dozen years. i Geologists are trying to estimate the ages of the oceans by comparing the amount of sodium they contain ' with the amount they receive annually by washing from the continents. A reproduction of a silver dollar w'as recently completed by George Herren, a cabinet maker in Pella. lowa. This reproduction, v hioh is ,32 times the size of its model, is | contsructed entirely of kernels of corn, glued to a backing of heavy , pasteboard. So many thousands of, new hands have poured into Sheffield, England, since the outbreak of war started a boom in the munitions and steel i factories there, that the housing problem has become acute, some cases existing where a two-family house is occupied by four families, each of which takes in lodgers. It is said that moonshine whisky in the South, instead of being sold, is “left” by the roadside, the “purchaser'’ being expected to pick up the jug and leave the monetary equivalent, a case where failure may mean a reminder propelled by a well-known niter compound, one j that whistles as it passes by the ear. j An old sea captain, resident in j Rugby, England, noticing that the engine of a train on the London & Northwestern railroad bore the of Dachshund, wrote to the railway ! company suggesting that, as an act] , of'patriotism, the name should be] I changed. The engine has now been ! renamed Bulldog. A new r method of using coal in competition with oil fuel has been tried at Vancouver, British Columbia. Those conducting the experiments say that crushed coal can be supplied to steam producing furnaces by the same method in use for oil. It is proposed to use the new process for smelting in the big mining plants. A substitute for gold is obtained by combining 94 parts of copper with six parts of antimony and adding a little magnesium carbonate to increase the weight. It is said that this alloy can be drawn, wrought and soldered very much like gold, and that it also receives and retains * a golden polish. It is worth something like 25 cents a pound. The last of that famous and too little band under John C. Fremont, who in 1 846 hauled down the Mexican flag at Monterey, Cal., is dead lat Spokane, Wash., Anson A. Pike, an Ohioan, and formerly a stone- { mason, built a school house in Bloomj ington, Ohio, while Abraham Lim j coin was superintendent of schools in that city, „ A cold-blooded view of the war hospitals reveals the wonderful and otherwise unobtainable practice young surgeons, of w hom many are Americans, are obtaining. The young fellows who are going into that profession could not have chosen a better class for their graduation than 1914 or 1915. Those^employed in France receive $4 2 a week and $3 a day expense money. An enormous deposit of asphalt in Leyte province, in the Philippines, lies so near the shore line at Taciohan that, ships can anchor and take on cargoes train lighters loaded at the .mines with ' practically no overland transportation. There is a large and growing demand in the islands for paving asphalt, and all ihe cities of the far East are “now in a position to offer a market. As a table delicacy the tile’fish has established itself firmly under the exploitation of the bureau of fish-

eries, which undertook to bring its! merits to public attention a short j time ago. These fish are now marketed in great quantities and are to 1 be found on sale in all the leading, niarketa-o? the Eastern part of the • country, so that the government’s, efforts in introducing it have been' eminently successful. j Sir Rider Haggard, speaking, re- 1 oently in London of his oversea mis- j sion, said that in traveling round! the empire he had been struck by! its richness in opportunities waiting! to be taken advantage of. In A us-1 tralia alone, he thought. 50,000,000 ) white people might well find their homes, and there were similar possibilities ip Canada, South Africa, and other parts of the empire. They might fill the world with AngloSaxon people if tbev availed themselves of those vast stretches cf territory. After the Boer war, in 1903, there were 250.000 emigrants, of whom 123.000 went to the United States. He wished to keep such emigrant;} within the empire in future. The scarcity and high price of coal in Spain has become a problem as well as a menace to all manufacturing industries in this country. With lessened importations of British coal and soaring prices for freight, more attention is being paid to domestic coal, of which there are large undeveloped deposits. According to returns of the Spanish customs service, 1.595,028 tons of coal were imported into Spain and 167,795 tons of coke during the first 11 months of 1915, in contrast to 2,313,630 tons of coal and 328,107 tons of coke in 1914, a decrease of 718,602 tons of coal and 160,312 tons of coke. Although the domestic production has been augmented, it is still unable at such short notice to meet present demands.
