THE JASPER GOOHn DEMOGRIIT . ——- ? F. E. BABCOCK, Publisher OFFICIAL DEMOCRATIC PAPER OF JASPER COUNTY

It is a matter of keen reproach to the ranks of organized labor that strikes and disturbances of all kinds should be rife just at this time when the nation needs that we should be one as we 'never before -have been. • Doubtless (hero- are causes a-plenty tor strife in ordinary times and under ordinary conditions. At present, and under the conditions that face this country, it would seem that, while the world is called upon lor sacrifices in all the relations of life, labor might consent to bear patiently a few injustices, especially if to remedy those ' injustices the safety of the country is to be jeopardized. Everything that takes from the perfect unity of this country, militates' against the great undertaking that we have: entered upon. Now. when the country needs every ounce of its strength, is a poor time to settle labor disputes, especially if the settlement involves contention and strife. If there is not sufficient patriotism and loyalty among the employers to grant merited rights, then labor should prove itself the better' patriot in b aring with injustices -until our country is safe from the dangers that threaten.

light, in which is also placed a -large number of electric lights, thus giving equal light to the room from either natural or artificial sources. At the rear of the counting room is the vault, which contains the bank safe* filing cabinets and safety deposit boxes, the latter for the use of the bank’s customers. The vault is not the least of tho attractive features of the bank. The interior is 12x16 feet in size, the- first compartment being for the safety deposit boxes and the innermost compartment for the bank safe and filing cabinets. The two compartments' are separated by a nickeled-steel i grating. To the rear of the main room » I extends a lobby the entire length of ( the building,„and to the west of this area ladies’ rest room, two coupon' booths, toilets and a gentlemen’s rest room, also the stairway leading to the directors’ room on the second floor. All of these rooms are finished with stipple w’alls and antique 1 mahogany finished woodwork, and each contains electric lights, desk and chairs. One thing that caught the writer’s eye as being a little bit out of the ordinary in such places

and yet of*great convenience, is a sanitary drinking fountain in the lobby within easy access o.f the customers. Passing to the second floor, which extends only over the rear half of the building, «one enters the large directors’ room, which is tho last word in beauty and comfort. The room overlooks the counting room 'and main lobby, and beneath the ' window is a large marble box containing plants and vines of rare I beauty. The directors’ room is finished in the same style as the first ( floor, with mahogany furnishings and an antique finished fireplace , that gives the room every appear- : ance of warmth and cheer. ' Mere words are inadequate to describe this beautiful building, which ranks well with the banking houses of Indiana, and Rensselaer is indeed proud of, the institution, as well as the men who have been instrumental in its making.

Hemphill, of North Platte, Ne- ( braska. Among those from out of town ' here to attend the funeral were Mrs. Edna Williams of Chicago, 'George E. Waugh, a brother-in-law-war correspondent for the Chicago Dally News, and John B. Hemphill of North Platte, Nebraska. The sOn James was unable to return * for the funeral as he was obliged 'to report at once for war duty at ' Houston, Texas. Funeral services will be held at the Methodist church at 2:30 | o’clock this afternoon, Rev. E. W. 'Strecker preaching the sermon, and 1 burial made in Weston cemetery. | Mr.- Hemphill was a jovial, kind land considerate man and his death comes as a shock to his large circle of friends here who held him in such high esteem. Pages might bo ■ written in his .praise, yet after all no more could be said than that he was ever generous, kind to those about him and ever thoughtful of their happiness and welfare. MRS. FLOYD TOW Mrs. Floyd Tow of Newland, a daughter of Edward Oliver, passed away at the county hospital at 5 o’clock Sunday evening, where she .was taken a week previous for treatment. Her condition - was quite serious and she gradually sank to eternal rest. j Mrs. Tow was a congenial and ' accomplished young lady and is survived by her husband and two small children. Most of her life had been spent in this county and she enjoyed a wide circle of friendswho grieve at her untimely death.

Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church in this city at 2:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Rev. J. C. Parrett of 'Hammond, a' former pastor and friend of the deceased, preached the funeral sermon, and accompanied by many friends and neighbors the remains were taken to Weston cemetery and laid to rest.FRED HARTMAN Fred Hartman, a well-knoWn resident of Rensselaer for many years, died early Monday morning at the family home in the northeast part of the city. Mr. Hartman was 65 years old, aqd had been in poor health for several years, much of the time being bedfast. He received treatment at the county hospital for several weeks past but no relief could be given and he was removed to his home a few days previous to his death. Only a short time before passing away he seemed much better, but the improve pient was not destined to con-' tinue and he gradually declined into the sleep that knows no earthly awaken in g. ? hr. Hartman is survived by the wife and two .children, Richard Hartman and Mrs. John Richards besides many ' 'Other relatives and numerous friends... Funeral services were held at the home at .10. o’clock yesterday fore-., noon, R6V. Asa McDaniel of the Christian church preaching the sermon, and burial was made in Weston cemetery. A. 1). PATTER A.- I). Pattee, one of the oldest' residents of Jasper county and quite well known throughout tho central part of the county, died of old age Sunday afternoon at the home of his daughter. Mrs, Frank Cochran, in McCoysburg. -Mr. Fattee was 93 years old at the time of his death, but for many years had enjoyed exceptionally good health for one of that . age. He was a kindly old gentleman and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. Funeral arrangements had not been completed yet when The Democrat went, to press, as the . family w r as awaiting word from distant relatives. However, services will probably be iheld some time Thursday and burial made in the Osborn cemetery.

breeds. The herd of Omar Kenton attracted a great deal of attention on account of the high quality of the animals and the manner in which they were shown. Floyd Amsler showed a few of the cows and heifers which he is collecting as foundation animals for one of the best herds in the county. D. V. Yeoman made a very attractive exhibit of his Shorthorn herd. The twin white heifers were the cause of more favorable comment than anything else in the show. Chauncey Wood, wh’o is building up a herd on his farm south of town, made a very good showing. His herd bull caused much comment on account of his good size and his heifers showed good breeding form. Russell Van Hook carried off the daily honors.with his herd, headed by the cow of a SIO,OOO Jersey sire. His animals were high class individuals and backed by some of the best blood lines that the breed possesses. The awards were as follows: Best stallion: Arthur Watson Ist. Best mare: Gus Yeoman Ist.

they met seemed happy and contented. While as 1 yet only a comparatively few of the winter uniforms had been, issued, it was expected that within a few days all the men would be clothed for winter and further comfort would prevail among the men as a result. Taken all in all it was indeed a most interesting and well spent trip, and one that would be of great benefit to any person who can spare the time, and the boys are always glad to see anybody from home. In making this trip by rail one should only purchase a ticket to New Albany, then buy a ticket there or pay on train across the. river. In buying a ticket clear through the interstate rates apply and it costs considerably more than if one only buys to the Kentucky line. This advice can be profitably used in traveling al,most any place, however.

THE FARMERS’ DUTY

By W. D. HOARD,

Editor Hoard’s Dairyman.

Our liberty has been attacked on sea and on land, our freedom and Institutions have been threatened, and our nation placed in jeopardy. Our soldiers are called to arms and are marching to the front; our good women are devoting themselves to Red Cross i work, and civilians everywhere are i aiding the government in its multiplicity of duties. War means supreme i sacrifice to every able-bodied citizen, 1 ! including men, women and children. It ■ means unselfish and unremitting servi Ice. < 1 The tremendous preparation which the government is making to bring this awful war to a successful close means I the expenditure of billions of dollars, | This money must come from our citizens and from every class, including i the laborer, shopkeeper, manufacturer, banker, financier and fanner. It bor- . ders upon treason for anyone, who can ' spare a dollar, to withhold it from his country’s call. i There are millions of dollars deposited in the banks by the farmers of this country which are earning them i little or nothing. The Liberty Loan bonds offered by our government bear 4 per cent interest. If patriotic reasons do not make a sufficient appeal for the farmer to invest in them, his selfish interest should move him to render his country financial assistance. The Liberty Loan bonds are absolutely a safe investment. Every dollar not required for our business should i be ready for prompt purchase of these bonds. This is no sacrifice, it is a profitable investment for you. It is helping your country and protecting your home and business. This is one of the few chances that have come to American citizens to have money serve both patriotism and profit, I am particularly anxious that that American farmer should subscribe generously to this second Liberty Loan, He has responded nobly to the call for increased crops and a hint to him that his money is needed also, will lead, I am sure, to the same unselfish devotion to his nation. The farmer must not neglect this duty. Our country needs his financial assistance, and sor 1 his own welfare he should be generous with his wealth. There may be slackers by falling to offer their money, but I vouchsafe the opinion that no finan j cial slackers wilf be found among the farmers of America.
