HAPPENINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

FAIR OAKS Health still continues good with ÜB. ' . • Bert . Warren’s have lately installed an organ in their home. Jesse Harriott and wife will go to lowa about July 5 to work on a dredge. - , Liman Hall has taken a big contract to deaden timber for J. J. Lawler near here. Joe Winslow, the carrier on route No. 2, has made his wife his substitute. She begun service this week. James Clifton suffered a nervous breakdown last 'week, due to hard work on the Spang house, but is now feeling pretty good again. We were visited .by a very heavy frost the latter part of last week, which did considerable damage to growing crops, such as corn, pota- „ toes, rye and other crops that grew In the muck land; It has been announced that there will be a Red Cross meeting here in the M. E, church Saturday evening. Everybody is invited to come out and bring their pocketbooks and give their mite. Rev. Hensley was here Sunday evening and filled his regular appointment. Owing to the Children’s day exercises at Lee, his '■'’Jier point, he was not here for nis 11 a. m. appointment. C. A. Bringle and wife of Remington came over and visited home folks Sunday. They left Monday for Valparaiso to visit his sister Amy, and then go to Hanna to visit his aunt, Mrs. F. L. Yeoman, and thence to Gary to visit Roy Gundy and wife. This is vacation for him. James Clifton, the contractor on the C. B. Spang house, completed same and turned it over to Mr. Smith, the tenant, Monday. The latter will move into the house the last of this week and I. A. Abel will move from the Dr. Wells property into the house vacated by Smith, which is owned by Mr. McCully of Illinois. James Clifton received a letter the first of the week from his brother Sam, who is located near Milltown, Oklahoma, stating that corn was neck high and small grain crops were fine. They had begun harvesting and that there was an abundance of all of fruit. He is more than satisfied with the country. They only had I one snow and but very little cold weather last winter.

THE EVILS OF CONSTIPATION Constipation is one of the main reasons why the average human life is below 40 years. Leaving waste material in the body, poisons the system and blood and makes us liable to sick headaches, biliousness, nervousness and muddy skin. When you note these symptoms, try Dr. King’s New Life Pills. They give prompt relief, are mild, non-griping in action, add tone’ to your system and clear the complexion. At your drugist, 25c. —Advt.

Stockwell, Byrl Blackman and Carl Stockwell went to Zadoc Sunday to see the steam shovel.

Croup, Whooping-Cough Relieved Children’s diseases demand preparedness. When the child wakes you at night, gasping and strangling for -breath, how thankful you are to have Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar-Honey at hand. This effective remedy loosens the mucous and permits free and natural breathing. Its soothing balsams heal the irritated membrane and arrests further inflammation. Pleasant to -take. Keep Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar-Honey in the house for all colds and bronchial troubles. At your druggist, 25 c.—Advt.

WHEATFIELD George Grube was in the vicinity of Zadoc Monday. William Meyers, Sr., has a new car. Sixty miles an hour is his pace now. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Miseh were callers at the Raeth home Sunday afternoon. William Brown has given his restaurant building a coat of paint that surely puts it right in line. Editor Hamilton of the Rensselaer Republican attended the Red Cross meeting here Tuesday night. C. M. Dewey and family and Mrs. Vandercar ate ice cream at the Hew’ett home Monday evening. ■ If you are in favor of having a stock show and street fair at Wheatfield this fall, report it to either of these gentlemen: C. M. Dewey, Albert Keene or Joseph Hickam. Mr. Freeman, our local stock buyer, loaded a mixed car of hogs and cattle Saturday. He pays a little more than outside buyers so he should have the first bid on stuff in his line.

Col. John Finn and Jerry Maloney were at Wheatfield Saturday evening. The colonel says that the next time he goes with a young Demo crat he. will have a car come about four hours behind to pick him up. With a flag raising for the main drawing card our Fourth' of July celebration should be very largely attended. Everything that goes to make up a good sane celebration will be in evidence. Come and see the metropolis of northerns Jasper. The Wheatfield saloon matter is surely presenting some knotty legal questions that are taxing the legal capacity of the attorneys connected with it. No one at this time can clearly see what the final result will be, although surface objects snow the direction of the current but not the speed of it. The frost last Friday evening did ouite a lot of damage in these parts. One field on the Salisbury farm, occupied by Samuel Payne, was badly damaged. It was queer how the frost acted. Some fields of corn low and very wet escaped without a visible sign of damage, while corn on high sandy places was frozen down to the ground.

A large number of Red Cross workers from Rensselaer, accompanied by the Rensselaer band, held ■> meeting at Wheatfield Tuesday evening. After an able address by one of the pastors of Rensselaer the sum of SB2O was quickly raised to help the Red Cross for European war duty. When all not present are given a chance to contribute the sum will reach close to the SI,OOO mark. That is patriotism. A reception in honor of the newly weds, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Hamilton, was given Friday evening. It was largely attended and all gave the new occupants of the matrimonial boat lots of advice. Summed up, it read like this: Keep in the middle of the stream; don’t drop the paddles, and watch out for the cataracts and eddying pools, and don’t rock the boat. Congratulations. If you want good advice see us. Wheatfield can be truthfully called the town of gardens. We never saw better gardens in any town: each with a large variety of vegetables and all well kept. No one can realize the money value of these parcels of ground laden with vegetables. Aside from the monetary side of the garden the training it gives to the children in getting them

acquainted with a few of the secrets of nature is surely a valuable factor of education. r—e — Louis, John and Michael Misch and your correspondent took an ah to drive of about three hours- duration via Kniman,, Aix. Rosebud church, Virgie, Demotte. Kersey and Wheatfield. During the trip' we saw some badly frbst-bitten fields of corn, while some were hurt very slightly. Oats and rye looted good and the wheat, although thin, looked well. We met Mr. and Mrs. H. Remley. Louis and Thomas Jensen and wives and Mr. Babcock of The Democrat, all out for a spin.

NEVER NEGLECT A COLD A chill after bathing, cooling off suddenly after exercise and drafts, give the Cold germs a foot-hold that may lead to something worse. Safety requires early treatment. Keep Dr. King’s New Discovery On hand. This pleasant balsam remedy allays inflammation, soothes the cough and repairs the tissues. Better be safe than sorry. Break up the cold with Dr. King’s New 'Discovery before it is too late. At your druggist, 50c, fl. —Advt.

REPUBLICANS SOON DISSIPATE RESERVE

Six Millions to the Good Left By Democrats is Rapidly Vanishing. BUILDING “NO MEAN CITY” Some Eye-Opening Facts Showing Why Opposing Newspapers so Bitterly Denounce and Persecute Mayor Bell. By Willis S. Thompson. Indianapolis, June . < —When Governnor Thomas R. Marshall, Auditor W. H. O’Brien and Treasurer W. H. Vollmer took over the job of managing state finances, they found' a Republican debt of $2,609,163.12. Cash in the treasury was only $9,463.91. All the counties had been milked dry with demands for advance payments, future revenues had been anticipated and spent, with nothing coming in from any source. All state institutions were run down and needing extensive repairs. None were properly or decently supported. Repairs were made, new instiutions built, paid for and placed under efficient non-political management. All state debts made by Republicans were paid. The day Governor Goodrich took office there was turned over to him an actual cash balance of $5,699,331.94, with not one penny of debt. The first day of June, five months after he received the big Democratic cash balance, this cash on hand had been reduced to $3,329,387.10, and strenuous efforts have been made for the full five months to find a way to levy extraordinary taxes in order to coyer the deficit which the Republican administration anticipates. Fine comparison of records.

Since when Thomas Taggart was mayor of Indianapolis, no man who has held that job has been so viciously and maliciously abused by the press as has Mayor Joseph E. Bell. Since when Taggart was mayor no man in the job done so many constructive things. Mayor Bell has done larger things and more of them that permanently benefit the people than all the mayors that ever preceded. He has done big things that others promised but never did. He has done them economically and thoroughly. His record stands today as one. of the strongest reasons for believing that the next mayor of Indianapolis is going to be Dick Miller, the Democratic nominee. While it has cost him unlimited personal abuse and villification, he has demonstrated that it is good for the people at large to have officials who will not surrender government to unscrupulous newspapers, even when they go so far as to indict, and to conspire with prosecutors to pay the people’s money for perjured witnesses in attempting conviction. Much was done to retard all things undertaken during the past four years. When he.was elected mayor, Bell had promised that he would elevate all railroad tracks. The retiring administration, dominated by ‘the

News, sought to wreck his plans ana give contracts to suit the railroads and throw a last reward to their political friends. The first act of Mayor Bell was to repudiate these contracts, which provided for lowering all streets into dark tunnels under the tracks and depreciating property values for many blocks either way. He demanded track elevation of the right sort, and he got it. Trains will run over these elevated tracks during 1917. Other cities of the state will sooner than some may imagine be confronting this same problem. The work of Mayor Bell stands a model of speed and good results. A stream of no mean size and a menace to the health of a large part of the population had furnished candidates with stuff to talk about for years. They had all promised to cover this nuisance. Joseph Bell promised it. The News said he could not do this and all the things he was pledging. After the election the News and the retiring administration hurried a contract to go to their friends. That contract stands today to accuse them. It provided for paying $1,800,000 for the job rushed through in a haphazard way. Mayor Bell stopped the signing of the contract by court injunction and was denounced for so doing. When he took his seat as mayor he let the contract on proper bids and specifications, and it is finished and cost the city $907,000, just half what the News and its friends tried to pay for the job. Four automobiles can drive through this drain abreast. Candidate Bell also promised flood fmotection. He said he would build a evy, have a boulevard on top of it, with parking and sidewalks, and would do it inside of $1,500,000. The News said this impossible promise made him unfit for the job, that he could not do it for $5,000,000. He did not get to start until the legislature of 1915 gave him an enabling act. That levy, with boulevard and parking, is complete. It cost the city less than $1,200,000. Not a word of credit from newspapers. Indianapolis is the only city in any state that has this work done since the flood of 1913. He is lighting the city by the best and cheapest contract in the United States. It is saving the people more than a million dollars in the ten years. The News and the public service commission tried to kill the contract, and Mayor Bell, backed by public sentiment, won. The story is not half told, No wonder, then, that the people of Indianapolis want to see the same sort of work continue. People of the state will not wonder that Dick Miller is the one best bet for the next mayor tv succeed Joseph v E. Bell.

MB. RANDLE COMES TO FRONT Tells His Friends and Neighbors of His Experience. Every Rensselaer resident should read what Mr. Handle says, and follow his examiple. He has used Doan’s Kidney Pills and speaks from experience. Is .there any need to experiment with initiations or untried kidney medicines? Nelson Randle, retired farmer, N. Main street, Rensselaer, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills at different times when suffering from a lame back and other symptoms of disordered kidneys. 1 got Doan’s kidney Pills at Fendig’s drug store and they soon brought relief from the backache and other kidney ailments. 1 do not know of a case where Doan’s Kidney Pills have failed to prove of benefit.’’ Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Handle had. Foster-Mil-bum 00., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.Advt.
