HAPPENINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

FAIR OAKS Health still continues good in o»r village. “Uncle” Dave Winslow went to see Dr. Stewart at Monon Monday. Through some hook or crook our last week’s report failed to reach the press. Rev. Warrlner of Shelby occupied the pulpit in the Christian church Sunday evening. Mrs. Al Moore came up from Lafayette and expects to remain here on her little farm indefinitely. Our schools closed Friday with a big dinner. The teachers deserve the best of praise for their success. Cal BourroughS done a tiptop job of hanging paper on three rooms for Abe Bringle the first of the week. Mrs. Potter, our primary teacher, and Mrs. Harry Young took the teachers’ examination at Rensselaer Saturday. Misses Flo and Mattie McKay are now visiting their sister, Mrs. Joe Clouse, in lowa. They expect to be absent a couple of weeks. Miss Fawn Casey, who had been working at Mt. Ayr for some time, came up the first of the week and is now employed at the Allen hotel. Paul Barker, who succeeded Enos Moffitt as mail carried to and from the depot, has made arrangements with Ex-postmaster Thompson to take over the work wifile Paul works on the section. Mrs. Ed Kesler, who came from Long Beach, California, about three weeks ago for a couple of months’ visit with her mother and friends, got word last week to come home, owing to business she was needed. She started for home on Thursday. We were favored with a very nice shower Monday, but it turned off cool, which is contrary to the farmers’ wishes. The most of them in these parts will get through plowing this week. It keeps them guessing whether or not to plant corn right. away. Jacob Howald, an old Swedish man living in Newton county and who was attacked by a couple of Lincoln township “booze-bisters'’ While under the influence of liquor, is now lying at the point of death caused by the kicks and knocks received from them. He was taken to Chicago the first of the week to consult a specialist concerning his condition but was not given any encouragement. This certainly is a case that our prosecutor should not overlook.

Some whoop’er up for the rooster, others sing the praises of the turkey gobbler, but Lon Pinter says he can whip any son-of-a-gun who says anything against the long-billed bird called the stork. Yes,., sir, the stork is the finest bird on earth. A few weeks ago the county agricultural agent issued a pamphlet in which he suggested the idea of having three corn shows in the county, Wheatfield being one of the places. We would like to suggest to the farmers’ clubs of northern Jasper the idea of having a harvest jubilee, of which the . corn show could be the main feature. As Wheatfield is about the center of northern Jasper it would surely be largely attended. It is not too early to decide on having a jubilee. Let us not only have one this year but make it an annual affair. What do you say? We hear a hundred seconds to the motion.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was supposed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional conditions and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Medicine, manufactured by F.

ARMS AND STARVATION

(By Gifford Pinchot) I In this great time, when every citizen must do his part, the President has made his chief appeal to the men who live on the land. He is right in doing so, for the safety of our country just now is in the i hands of our farmers. What I mean is not merely our safety and the safety of our allies in the matter of food. 14 I mean that the safety, of the United States against foreign invasion hangs on the decision of the farmers of the forty-eight states. The two great weapons in this war are arms and. starvation. The war against German arms will be i won or lost in France- —the war • against starvation will be won or lost in America. The kaiser cannot whip the French and English armies and the English navy while England has food. But it is still possible that the German submarines may be able to keep food enough from reaching England to starve her into submission. i If the submarines win, the first item in the kaiser’s terms of peace will be the English fleet. With the English fleet in his possession, - the kaiser will be master of the world, j What will happen to us then? Every man who stops to think knows the answer. We bhall have money, food, labor, land —everything that is desirable in the world except the power to protect what we have. Experts estimate that it will take us nine months to get ready to meet a German army of even 150,000 men with modern artillery. Under such circumstances, would the Germans treat us better than they have already treated Belgium and France? Even if the armies of our allies should crush the German military power this summer, before the shortage of food can reach the point of want, the world would still need vast quantities of American food. But if they do not, only one course can make us safe, and that is to grow food enough on our farms for ourselves and our allies, and to put ships enough on the sea to carry the food, in spite of the submarines, to the men who are fighting our fight. If the war lasts beyond this summer, it will be the American farmer who will win or lose the war, who will overcome militarism and autocracy, or allow them to spread and control the world, ourselves included. This is no fanciful picture, but sober fact. Many a man will make light of it until he comes to think it over, but I venture to say that few will treat it lightly after careful thought. It is no mere impossible than the great war itself appeared to be only a few days before it began. It is true that we can greatly increase the available food supply out of grain now used in making liquors, and by reducing household waste. But when these two things are done, and done thoroughly, they will not be enough.- The final decision will still rest in the hands of the men who raise our food in the first place. The clear duty of the nation is to guarantee the farmers a fair price for their trops when grown and a reasonable supply of labor at harvest. The clear duty of the farmer is to raise food enough to win this war for democracy against kaiserism. ~ '• No such responsibility has ever rested on any class of —men since the world .began as rests today on the farmers of America. 8

HERE’S PROOF A Rensselaer Citizen Tells of His Experience. You have a right to doubt statements of people living far away but can you doubt Rensselaer endorsement? Read it: Zack Campbell, retired farmer, Harrison St., Rensselaer, says: “I was hardly ever free from a steady aching in my back. My back was lame and sore and my work was torture, because every effort to move caused piercing pains in it. My kidneys acted too often. Nights, I was kept awake by the too frequent passages of the kidney secretions and they were scanty and burned. I never felt fresh and rested, tout was always worn-out. I tised several boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills and became well and strong and free from all.that trouble.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mr. Campbell had.. FosterMilburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. —Advt.
