WHO MAKES TEAM'S OF PEACE?

Does the victor or the vanquished usually propose peace during a war? Take America's wars and you will find that the loser was the one to suggest an end of the fighting. England and not the United States was the power to request peace in the revolution, and America was the winner. Mexico and not the United States was the first to talk peace in that clash seventy years ago, and again America was the winner. The confederacy, whose cause was lost, made peace proposals during the civil war long before Lee surrendered.

Napoleon , tried in vain to make peace with when lie was at Moscow 101 years ago, but 'Czar Alexander, then apparently the under dog, refused, and Napoleon’s retreat followed, with the • annihilation of his own army. It was Napoleon who again sought peace before and after Leipsic, but the allied powers refused, deposed him from his throne and sent him to Elba. The French people cried for peace in 1.870, but Bismarck, the victor, didn’t stop until all his conditions had been met. The war had been ended before Grant said, “Let us have peace!”— Lake County Times.

GOOD WORK OF RAILROADS

Chicago, October 12.—The railroads are co-operating with the United States food administration, farmers and grain dealers’ associations to conserve and protect the food supply, particularly ' grain. Every railroad in the wheat belt has been notified by R. Tl. Aishton, chairman of the central department committee of the railroads’ war board, that every possible precaution should be, taken against fire at grain elevators and warehouses. Extra grain car doors and all other inflammable material are to be kept far enough away from grain repositories to avoid being a fire hazzard. A nation-wide movement has been started among the makers of and dealers in railway supplies, to provide SI,OOO worth of smoking tobacco weekly for the railroad officials and employes who enlisted to construct and operate military,, railroads in France and other allied

countries. Already nine railway regiments! have been raised. They have the distinction ■of being the first organized contingent from- the United States to get into active war service in France. While building and running the lines which carrymunitions and other supplies to the French front they have been the targets of Germany artillery and aviators, but 'so far no casualties are reported? ', • '< France has appealed for more American railway men and engineers and ‘several rcgirh“nts will be raised. E. .P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe system, believes that the world war will end in complete victory for the United States and iis allies not later than next spring. “The Germans must fight to the end fts- now organized,’’ said Mr. Ripley. They have.no reserve force left and cannot possibly last till their children reach military age. In a little while the allied armies will be overwhelming, and the Germans will be crushed in the spring, at the latest.” Mr. Ripley said that on the whole our government has. done remarkably well in conducting .its part of the war, and praised the administration far having called to its aid in the great emergency the .best, nien available, regardless of their political affiliation. “In addition, to get more efficiency,” continued Mr. Ripley, “the administration threw into the wastebasket a lot of hampering laws, including ' most of the antitrust laws.” “Will the transportation needs of the country be met during the war?” “Yes,” answered Mr. Ripley. “The railroads, having merged their interests, will be able to handle both government and Commercial traffic with the minimum of delay. During rush , times the service may not be perfect, but it will be as nearly perfect as any other class of service -under human management.”

TRIALS OF THE Al TO AGENT

order and then wait for the car to come hy freight. Instead he must go to the factory, buy the cars he desires outright and then -drive them home. Mr. Kellner, along with about 125 other Buick agents, went to Chicago Sunday night, each one expecting to receive his allotment of cars at the distributing agency at that point. But Uncle Sam had stepped in the day before and commandeered the freight cars for other uses that -were going to carry .these -autos 'l<> Chicago. Therefore: it was necessary for all of the agents to proceed to Flint to get their cars’ . A special ’train with sleeping i accommodations was; soon arranged and the journey began. Arriving at Flint the next morning the- agents; went to the factory where their orders were duly entered and each agent registered and number. Mr. Kellner’s number was fortyseven, meaning that forty-six agents would be served ahead of him. Some of these secured as many as thirty cars each, and it is not surprising that the plant with a capacity of GOO cars daily is taxed to the limit. Upon being assembled and given a try-out by the factory experts,

the cars are driVen to a mammoth garage 7 -in classes of their style, the. Buick plant making five .different models. Here they are signed for by the agents and delivered to theini in the order in Which the agent is registered. When cars of more than one style is desired it is necessary for the agent to go through the same process for each style of' car wanted. Mr. Kellner wanted one “four” and one “six.” ,|f v, 7 :i. in the :•f t<-rn.o' ji when he secured the “six” and f, :30 when he secured the “four.’’ . As it is ,necessary for the agent to be present when his number is tailed ow lush. his turn,, Mr. : Kell - nor was not permitted to make a minute inspection of the plant, but he saw sufficient to impress him with the magnitude and -greatness of it. A detail* d description ; of the process' of manufacture would require several pages, but a brief statement may prove 'of interest. As the car is assembled, starting with the frame, if. travels through the mammoth plant, each few feet receiving some new part or some adjustment, so that at all times tliere Is a string of cars several hundred feet long in the different stages of construction, beginning with the frame at one point and ending'' with the finished ear, all. painted and glistening with newness, ready to run out for a trial spin in the hands of the experts. A’visift td this great plant is impressive beyond expression to the /irdinary person, yet, the foregoing is descriptive of an average day at the Buick factory.

BROOK

(From the, Reporter) G. L. Thornton of Rensselaer was a Brook visitor Monday. The 'Misses Leopold and Ames of Rensselaer wore guests of Mrs. Ben Leopold Friday. Quite a number of corn husking, machines will be tried out in this section this fall. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Mayhew motored to Kingman Sunday to Visit Mr. and Mrs. E. L. James. Pius linger and wife left the first of the week to visit relatives at Hartford, Michigan. John Sell and family went to Bourbon Wednesday to visit Ford Sell and wife and see the new baby girl. Job English visited his Peru farm this week. He says things are looking fine and not much evidence of frost'. . - •- Vernon TTrey of . Andrews, Indiana, was here over Sunday visiting big grandmother, Mrs. Sawyer, and other relatives., Chan McCabe and family, Bernard James and family and Otto Mayhew and wife motored to Turkey Run Sunday and spent the day.

• Crailes Dexter and wife, who have been Visiting Lee Lowe and family for some time, started for their home in California Monday. They will stop in lowa and visit relatives for a short time. John B. Foresman, Jr., exhibited a big ear of corn which came from his Jasper county farm. It was raised by Lee Clark. It measured 12 34 inches long and nine inches in circumference, and weighed 234 pounds. William Ulyatt brought a stalk of corn to town last Wednesday that .showed three fully developed ears and one good-sized nubbin. With these well-eared Stalks in numbers it will be hard to tell how much this corn will yield per acre. Mrs. Howard Myers and Mrs. John Lawrence attended the State Board of Charities meeting at Laporte the first of the week. While there they were taken to visit the penitentiary at Michigan City and the Julia Work school for girls at Plymouth, Indiana. Jim Heistand piloted the. editor to the fishing grounds Saturday and we spent the day on the river. We returned in the evening with twenty bass, bluegills and croppies. Merle Penny and Cal Statesman picked up strings equally as large, and Frank Davis came home with six wall-eyed, pike and a bass or two. .

Mrs. Myers and Mrs. Longwell were up near Morocco Friday looking after a group of six children who had recently lost their mother. The family was Italian and numbered seven from fifteen months to ten years of age. Arrangements are being made to place them in some Catholic institution for orphan children. Uncle John Foresman was passing the cigars to his friends Friday. He had reached the age of eighty-five years on that day and said he felt better than he did last year at this same time. Very few meh fit. his age take such active interest in affairs of business and pleasure. Every morning he takes a drive to his farm in his car, and he.goes whenever he likes and wherever he likes. All the work on the place receives his attention just, as usual. He has set his mark at the century and we believe he will reach it. Lige Esson of Peotone was here the first of the week looking after his farm interests. He met Schuyler Jones, who was at one time a partner in the hardware business with Jack Esson, Lige’s brother. Mr. Esson recalled the -strenuous days of that period and said that at one time Jones and Jack had but one hat between them and only one of them could leave the store at a time. Jack, who was somewhat restless in disposition, couldn’t stand this and finally sold out so that he could get into business where he could have/a full set of clothes of his own.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflammed condition or the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflammed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness - are caused by catarrh, which is an inflammed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We-will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that Cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All. Druggists, 7 sc. F. J. • CHENEY & CO-> Toledo. O.
