HAPPENINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

FOUR CORNERS The Tefft school observed Hallowe’en Wednesday with recitations and a debate. Joe Smith and> mother, Mrs. Grover Smith, visited over Sunday at the Shirer home. We were informed that the wedding bells will be ringing for a Wheatfield party in a few days. Tune up your cow-bells. Will Davis received a letter from Warren Fisher this week, who is stationed at Hattiesburg. Mississippi, which stated they were all doing fine. A number of farmers have their buckwheat yet in the field and it looks now that unless the weather clears up at once they will lose the entire crop. The loyal bunch at Wheatfield did some good work in the sale Of Liberty bonds. Simon Fendig totaled the highest of any one solicitor, getting almost one-third of the total sales. The heavy trucks used by the new telephone company in hauling those heavy poles are putting our roads in a condition that it is next to impossible to travel over them. Is there no way to protect these roads or no one that is paid to look after them? It seems strange that there is net sufficient space on the south of Dunn’s bridge to turn a road grade when the stone road is being slushed. Does Smith or the Porter county officials pay the bills for time put in on their side of the river? The tax-payers would like to know? Harold DeArmond has moved into the residence vacated by our rural route carrier, who has resigned and taken a job in a factory at South Bend, and moved to that city. Sam Cullen, his deputy, has also resigned and will work for W. S. DeArmond in the blacksmith shop. Harold will sub on the rural route until the examination is held and then try for the job. R. E. Davis received a letter Wednesday from Charles Miller, who is at Camp Taylor, Kentucky. Charles is in the best of health and spirits. Mr. Davis also received a letter from Harry Lane, who is in a training camp in Pennsylvania., stating that his company was billed for across the great pond ■in a few days. May good luck follow the boys to the end. There were some loyal people in Kankakee township who purchased bonds that were obliged to sacrifice in order to do so; there were others who for no other reason only that they are “slackers” and who sympathize with the kaiserdid not purchase. I don’t mean to say that all who failed to purchase bonds are in this class,, for we, thiank the Lord, have very few in our township who are unloyal—but

You’ve Tried the Rest Now Try the Best SAVAGE TIRES AND TUBES * 4. Direct from factory to you—a new method of selling tires that puts the middleman’s profit in your pocket Savage Tires are being sold only through our own factory , branches and factory distributors. The big economies due to direct selling, elimination of bad credits and simplified bookkeeping enable us to reduce® prices to a point never before reached with high-grade tires. Lowest net cash prices—much lower than were possible under the old method of selling—the same to everyone everywhere. But in the case of Savage Tires low prices do not mean low quality. Savage Tires are made of the best materials that can be bought, in the most careful and workmanlike manner in a factory whose motto is . , QUALITY FIRST, LAST AND ALWAYS If a blow-out were to occur; * because of great tensile strength or toughness and the absence of all grain troubles, the tube will not split. A blow-out makes only a small bole, which means an easy, quick, economical repair. The .great tensile strength of the Savage Grafinite Tube is well shown by a test made a few months ago. In this test, the Savage Tube pulled a 26,000-pound street car up a ly 2 per cent, grade. When the steam engine that furnished the power stopped, the resiliency of the tube pulled the car up to the engine. Savage Grafinite Tubes, like Savage Tires, are sold direct to the consumer through our own branch stores and distributors. You get the dealer’s profit and pay the lowest Cash price for the highest grade of goods. Prices are the same everywhere.

we have some whom we know are, and are able to purchase bonds and give to the Red Cross, but refuse.

REAPING BENEFIT From the Experience of Rensselaer People. We are fortunate indeed to be able to profit by the experience of our neighbors.

The Best Tribute you can pay to the memory of the departed is a monument of stone. That will endure when all other memorials have decayed and vanished. Such a monument need be no more expensive than you choose. 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. Mackey Rensselaer, Ind.
