MR. TAFT THE PATRIOT.

In these, days of playing peanut politics by Republican statesmen (?) of the stripe of Governor Allen of Kansas, Will R. Wood of Lafayette and other equally patriotic (?) gentlemen in the U. S. congress, it is refreshing to note that (former President William H. Taft—also a but a patriot first and a politician after-

does not agree with the unreasonable and unpatriotic criticism (for poFitics only) of this bunch of would-be statesmen—God save the mark —who are trying to stir up trouble and dissatisfaction by their intemperate and incendiary remarks and who are responsible ■perhaps more than anyone else for the I. W. W.’s and other anarchists in this country. Mr. Taft has shown himself to be a MAN and a real patriotic American citizen all through the war, and we are glad to know that he still remains so. „ Listen to this: “The gentlemen in the senate who are setting out to defeat this

league of nations are those I would not trust over night,’’ former President William H, Taft said today at a luncheon given in his honor by civic organizations a»-a part of the program of the Pacific Coast Congress of the League to Enforce Peace at San Francisco. “They are citing the constitution as an argument against it,” continued Mr. Taft. “I revere and worship that instrument and it is a new story to me If the constitution prevents this people from playing their part in bringing peace and order and happiness to ourselves and the other peoples of the world. “This is not a political question. God forbid. I am glad President Wilson went to Europe because he went bearing a promise of a league of nations. “The application at this time of the doctrine of avoiding entangling alliances is reactionary to the extent of delaying world peace one hundred years. The question at this time is whether the whole great plan of the league of nations is to be defeated because we can’t get a two-thirds majority of our senate for its ratification.”

LETTERS FROM OUR SOLDIER#

lege to be able to visit Rome, especially as we are so close and only have to pay one-tfourth fare on the railroads. Officers get one-fourth fare and enlisted men travel free on their leaves, which in a why is some sort of a reward for some of the work the men did over here. If a person was to travel on his own expenses as much as he has since he joined the army, it would cost a lot of money and there are not many of us who would have seen France, much less some of the other countries. My trip through Scotland and England was wonderful' and it was also a wonderful experience, to go through the submarine zone just at the time the Germans were so anxious to sink the transports carrying thousamis of soldiers to fight against them. While we were unable to see any" submarines

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

with the naked eye from our ship, the look-out saw one through his ■marine glasses and one of the ships fired at it. We received many wireless reports that subs were in our vicinity and there was much excitement on board, tout that' was all. We all had to wear life-belts from the time we pulled out of New York harbor until we reached the coast of Scotland, and hope we do not have to repeat the operation going back because they are not so very comfortable and are very bunglesome. The men slept In- theirs most Of the time, but I put mine on a stool at the head of my bed where it would be within arm’s length. We had orders that it must be within reach at all times. When we would go down to eat we would take them off and lay them beside our chairs. We ' had three days very rough weather and we, who were not used to rough weather — that included the majority of those on board—sometimes thought the boat would upset, if the subs did not get it. Some of those who were seasick wished the boat would upset. They always had the tablecloths dampened so they would not slip off the table when the boat would rock. Sometimes, during the rough weather the boat would tilt so the dishes would fall off the table anyway, and you would have to hold to something in order to walk about the ship. When we would eat soup we would have to hold to the plate with one hand in order to keep the plate more nearly level or the soup would all run over the sides when the ship would list. When we first started each one was assigned to a tableland to a certain chair at that table, and we kept the same one all the way over. The chairs were all bolted to the floor a«d so was the table. At the start of the trip the tables were filled up at every meal, but as the days passed there would be first one empty chair and then another until sometimes we would only have five or siy. I was very lucky as I did not get seasick and did not miss a meal. Expect I have told you all this a time or two before; maybe not, but you will not have to read all if you do not want to do so. When I started writing thought would only write a few lines but see this is beginning to be quite a long letter, so will close for this time. Trusting to hear from you soon, I am, as ever, your son, GUY. Care Chief Ordnance Officer, American Expeditionary Forces, A. P. O. 717.

Shorthorn Meeting Enthusiastic. A small but enthusiastic .group of breeders attended the annual meeting of the Jasper County Shorthorn association held in Rensselaer last Saturday. , The records showed an increase of some fifty herds established since the organization started eighteen months ago. A noticeable increase in the number of pure-bred sires is also observed. It was decided to hold an association tour some time during the summer, in order to observe the conditions under which Shorthorns are

Shorthorn Men Plan Calf Club

Shorthorn steers for every young man or woman in Jasper county who is properly equipped to care for them is a proposition which is being offered by the Jasper County Shorthorn association in co-opera-tion with . the the county. The association believes that this locality is bound to develop into a beef producing center and has determined to- lend its support in Jhis direction. Any person between 12 and 20 is eligible, to receive two steers provided they can show the committee they are responsible and have the proper equipment to feed them at a profit.

raised in Jasper and adjoining counties. W. H. Wortley, J. W. Amsler and Kenton Parkison were appointed a committee to arrange for the event. A Shorthorn Steer Feeding club, open to hoys of the county between the age of 12 and 20, is to be organized. The purpose being to demonstrate the possibilities of .profit in steer feeding and to shpw the value of the breed for beef production. John Parkison, C. H. Wood and W. H. Wortley have charge of this matter. , The association expects to make an exhibit of Shorthorns as an organization at the Indiana State Fair next fall and a committee consisting of Wm. Wortley, P. H. Hauter and John Parkison was placed in charge of this matter. The purpose of this exhibit is to determine the merits of the cattle owned in this county as compared to those produced in other parts of the United The officers were directed to hold a Shorthorn smoker for the purpose of enabling breeders to spend a social evening together. A fitting program is to be arranged fo.r the occasion. The following officers were elected: President, W. H. Wortley; vice president, P. H. Hauter; secretary, John R. Parkison; directors, Wm. Hershman, Floyd Amsler, Harvey Williams and Stephen Kohley. The association pledged its support to a county livestock show to be held next fall and appropriated funds to be used in paying premiums for the offspring of the Shorthorn heifers distributed in the Jasper County Shorthorn club. Farmers’ Club Executives to Convene.. A meeting of the executives of the farmers’ clubs of the county will be held at the court house Saturday afternoon, February 22, for the purpose of considering plans for the reorganization of the clubs of the county, the epidemids of flu having caused practically all clubs to suspend activities. Prof. 0. E. Hall will address the meeting. . The need of substantial rural organizations has never been greater than at present and the counsel of the different community leaders should result in much good at the

present time. > Brisk Demand for Farm Help. A brisk demand for farm help for the coming season has developed the last few weeks, numerous inquiries for single hands coming in that could not be’filled. Young men desiring work on farms are certain of securing good employment if they will run notices to the effect in the county papers. Hatch Chicks Early. In a leaflet sent out by A. G. Phillips and Leroy Jones, department of poultry husbandry, this statement is made: “Early hatching means March and April, not May and June. A pullet must be mature before it will lay, and it will take from six to, eight months for proper growth. Fall and winter egg production depends on early hatching. Do not expect yearling hens —or older —to give a heavy egg production in November or December. Early hatched pullets should. Besides, the early chicks grow better, and the broilers are ready for early markets, when prices are high.” The economical way to buy correspondence stationery is in pound boxes or bulk quantities. The Democrat handles several different styles and qualities of with envelopes to match, in its faijcy stationery department.

W. H. Wortley, president of the organization, has charge of the plan. The banks have agreed to Jend the money at a reasonable rate for the purchase of these cattle, which Will be high-grade Shorthorn, last spring calves. J. J. Lawler has been secured to select the animals 1 personally. The steers will be distributed to applicants at actual cost, on notes to run the duration of the feeding period, to be fed about ten months and sold at auction for beef. This class of cattle has been very profitable during the past year, a similar club in Henry county returning a profit of $27 per head

Deborah Sampson was the first American woman to win fame as a soldier. She was born in Plymouth, Mass., 158 years ago. Fired by patriotism, sfie dressed in men’s Clothes and entered the Continental army under the name of Robert Shurtleff, and took part in several battles. She was a seasoned soldier before Molly Pitcher gained fame by serving the gun of her slain husband in the battle of Monmouth. Deborah served, three years and was wounded several times before her sex was discovered during a camipaifcn in the vicinity, of Yorktown. It was in the Philadelphia hospital her ruse was discovered and upon her discharge she was summoned before General Washington. He praised her for her bravery and gave her an honorable discharge and presented her with a purse of money. After the war congress voted her a grant of land and a pension. She difed in 1827.

LOOK AT THIS AS IT IS

No man likes to plow where there are many stumps. He is likely to get out of patience and swear. This is the way to stop the swearing: Buy a stump puller —a one-man puller, that will pull any stump in Jasper county—and one man is all that is needed. I can furnish the puller. \Vho is the man that wants to pull the stumps? Land is worth too much these times for nothing but stumps to occupy the soil. Some one that wants to make good money, call on C. A. Roberts for the puller and he can furnish a party who wants 20 acres of stumps pulled and is willing to pay a good price for the work and spot cash when the work is done. —C. A. ROBERTS, Front street. Rensselaer, Ind. ts

RECORD OF THE PAST No Stronger Evidence Can Be Had in Rensselaer. Look well to their record. What they have done many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of future results. Anyone with a. bad back; any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from kidney ills, should find comforting words in the following statement: Mrs. Wm. Moore, Elm St., Rensselaer, says: “I suffered from kidney trouble. I Bad 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 back. I couldn’t do my housework and I knew that my kidneys were weak. Finally I got Doan’s Kidney Pills and they cured me of all these ailments. I have never had an Attack since.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 29, 1916, Mrs. Moore said: “I am never without Doan’s in the house. They are the best kidney medicine I know of.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Moore had. Foster-Mil-burn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.—• Advt. Subscribe for The Democrat.

over cost, feed and all other expenses, and a club in Fountain county showed a profit of $52i50 per head. Extensive cattle feeders state that the outlook for feeding this class is unusually good. The members of the Shorthorn association and the banks believe that cattle feeding, when properly .conducted, is one of the most profitable farming enterprises of the county at the present time and believe that this plan will demonstrate the fact and incidently make money for the ' young men and who join the club. . The county agent has been placed in charge of applications.
