HAPPENING IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

WHEATFIELD 'Lawrence McDaniel lost one of his best “horses Saturday. Quite a few of the San Pierre and Tefft people attended the movies here Saturday evening. Arizona Custard, who teaches the river school again, reports that he has twenty-eight pupils enrolled and that they are all doing well. Miss Buelah Dewey, who has been very sick for the past few days, is better at this writing. Dr. Solt of San Pierre is in attendance. Harvey Austin is one of the potato kings, as he had in over twelve acres and they are good, too. At $1.25 per bushel Harvey can surely afford to take unto himself a wife. While refilling a silo for Dooley and son a few days ago. the silage cutter owned by Dewey, Dooley and Hewett blew up, tearing it all to pieces. Luckily, no one was hurt. In a few days the silos in this vicinity will all be filled, thus storing away a lot of feed that otherwise would not be half as valuable. A silo is surely a money-maker for the farm. Floyd and Lee need a pair of leather “specs” and they need them bad, judging by the way their eyes fooled them Saturday evening. Be careful, boys, we can’t always .be with you. Saturday evening we and others had the pleasure of listening to a cabbage >' contract argument - at Wheatfield. Neither side would give up, so we are waiting for the next meeting. George Ferguson, our .movie man, gave a free show Tuesday evening to advertise the second issue of Liberty bonds. George is one of oiir popular business men who backs his patriotism with works. William Dooley said it was laughable to see Hewett and Henrich get excited when he blew up the silage cutter. He denies that he was the main factor in the fracas, but Hewett and Henrich have voted him guilty. William Meyers, Jr., who had been visiting relatives and friends at North Manchester, returned Saturday. Deep down in our heart we are of the opinion that there is a girl there, too, but, of course, we don’t want to butt in. We received a long letter from Louis Misch Tuesday, and it was so full of real news that we are going to give it to the readers in synoptical style. He said it is very hilly where they are stationed. They had a hard frost there Monday evening, which hurt the potato and other crops. A few days ago the boys were given a chance to buy Liberty bonds. Louis had the honor of buying the first one in Company B, and Oscar Stembel got the second one. The engineers, to which the boys now belong, purchased $77,000 worth up to the time the letter was written. Next Tuesday there will be a parade of all the soldiers that purchased Liberty bonds, in which between 15,000 and 20,000 boys will march. The boys are not only preparing to fight for the flag but they are also helping to finance the war.

GIFFORD

Albert Akers was a Gifford caller Monday evening. Don’t forget the hard time dance at Ed Hall’s October 2 1. Chester Caster spent a few days here this week with his wife. *' Miss Opal Hankins took Sunday dinner with Miss Hazel Lambert.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Walker moved to our burg Monday and occupy the George Kimble property. Mr. and Mrs. Mack Steel are

Come to us, and we will show you that good taste is not measured by dollars, neither is an artistic design. We can make a monument you may well be proud of for a surprisingly small sum. Will H.

Mrs. Jennie Wells and Mrs. Ethel McClothen of Hammond called cm Mrs. Tom Lambert Saturday afternoon. Quite a bunch of young people gathered at the home of Jesse Grim Saturday evening and gave him a surprise party, as Jesse has to leave for Camp Taylor this week. Mrs. Harry Ballard and daughterMrs. Emily Grim, who has been staying at New land with the former’s husband, who is overseeing some onion work, retained to their home near Indianapolis Saturday.

Warren Zellers has purchased the Ben Zellers property on Front street. He will fix it up for sale or to rent. The dogs made a raid on Mrs. Smith’s flock of sheep on the Spang farm last week and killed a couple of nice ones. ■ J. E- Winslow with his Ford took A. M. Bringle and -wife to Remington Sunday afternoon to see the new grandson. Abe Bringle, the rmral carrier on route 1, took a few days leave of absence this week and Enos Moffi.it drove in his stead. ’ 1 William Burch, who has a job as motorman on the Hammond street car lines, was at home over Sunday with his family. Grandma Allen went up to Gary last week to see her two grandsons. She says one, looks like Jakie and the other like' her self. Weather Ls fine so far this week, and a good many farmers are still sowing rye and wheat. We fear that it is a little dry for the fall sown grain. The stone cutters are here this | week cutting and polishing the stone for the new School house. The well drillers have struck a vein of graTel water at depth of seventy feet, and are still' pounding away. .. ' ",

PLAIN QUESTIONS TO RENSSELAER PEOPLE

Every Rensselaer Reader Will Admit the Soundness of the Logic. Would Rensselaer people recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as they do if the medicine were not reliable? Would they confirm their statements after years have elapsed if their experiences did not show the remedy to be deserving of it? Statements like the following must carry conviction to the mind of every reader: Mrs. Wm Moore, Elm St., Rensselaer. says: “I suffered from kid* ney trouble, backaches and headaches for a long time. I had no strength or ambition and couldn't sleep well. I could hardly turn in bed on account of the lameness in my hack. I couldn’t do my housework and I knew that my kidneys were weak. Finally I got Doan’s Kidney Pills and they cured nie of all these ailments. I have never had an attack since.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 29, 1916, Mrs. Moore added: “We are never without Doan sin the house. They are the best kidney medicine I ‘‘know of.”

Previous Attention. “There is nothing in this show to bring a blush to the cheek of a young girl.” “You needn’t make that a merit. The girls don’t wait for shows to get their blushes when drug stores are so much handier.” Pop’s Cue to Leave. “Say, pop went hunting when we were up to the city!” “What makes you think he went hunting, my son?” I heard him say to another man, ‘Let’s go ’round to Pete’s place and shoot a little game.’ ” Too Many There. Major general (addressing the men, before practicing an attack behind the lines) —I want you to understand that there is a difference between a rehearsal and the real thing. There are three essential differences. First, the absence of the enemy. Now (turning to the regimental sergeant major), what is the second difference? Sergeant Majo§^—The absence of the general, sir.
