and rank to the new organization; “The Liberty Guard” is distinctively a “Local” and Indiana affair. It is composed of the busy men of the state, who, too, are engaged in things that “will win t'he war,” but who for many reasons are not eligible fob service at the tfront until the last man is needed. The service performed by it will be: First, to keep the busy home communities in a peaceful state; and, second, . by precept and example to inculcate the military spirit in the young men of the nation, and to provide a primary school for his instruction. No member of the guard should express regret that “many of its young men have gone to the front;” on t'he contrary they should express satisfaction and joy that the Liberty Guard- aided the young soldier in gaining a knowledge of military imiatters in advance of his actual call to the “colors.” The presence .of a well-organized unit of the Guard in any community is a guarantee of peace for its people and a surety bond that disloyalty can hasve no abiding place therein. A cordial invitation is extended to the people of Jasper county to attend the meeting Wednesday evening. By direction of the Jasper County Council of Defense. J. M. SAUSER, Chairman Military Department.

It looks promising and we are glad of it. ae we have just passed through the worst December that we Wave had since we came here in 1910.

We had a poor crop yield this year, but good prices helped some, and we hope for better luck next year. We would like to take this mefans of sending our best wishes and New Year’s greetings to our old friends and neighbors of Jasper county.—THOS. CALLAGHAN AND FAMILY.
