/t■ *a i “Efficiency Expert” Nothing contributes more to the increasing demand for the Overland Model 90 car than the valuation business men place upon it as an efficiency asset. By word of mouth these men have firmly established the reputation of the Model 90 as a dependable, economical car. It deserves the public’s appreciation because it meets everyday needs. It is important to observe that women praise its fine appearance and comfort as enthusiastically as men endorse its faithful performance. RENSSELAER OVERLAND CO. DR. J.

He is getting better and amputation will not be necessary." 6, ? We have just learned from Uncle Jim Blankenbaker that his son Walter, who recently sold his farm near Wabash, had bought the old home-

stead just west of town and would move here just as soon as his sale was over, which is held tomorrow. The consideration was S2OO per acre, and we hardly think an outsider could have bought it at that figure. The old place will now undoubtedly take on a new appearance and a new lease of life. Hugh Yeoman and Elizabeth Selby were married at Kentland Thursday, March 20, by Rev. Daniels of the Christian church. After the ceremony the young couple motored to Rensselaer, where they took the train for Chicago, where they spent a few days’ honeymoon. The young folks will make their home at the Yeoman farm southeast of town, where the groom has extensive farming interests with his father. They are the finest of young folks and the Tribune is happy to join their many friends in wishing them godspeed on their matrimonial voyage.

Besides receiving the county spelling banner, she was presented with a 1919 edition of Webster’s International dictionary and a contest >pin. Grace Dexter of our school was awarded the sixth prize.

Obituary

Emmett Virgil IXcnniston Emmett Virgil Denniston was born December 20, 1891, in Fores* man, Ind., and died March 19, 1919, in Bozeman, Mont. He was 27 years, 2 months and 27 days of age. He spent his boyhood days in and near Foresman. During revival meetings at that place he united with the Methodist Episcopal church in 1911. He graduated from the Moore Barber school of Indianapolis in 1912 and begun work as a barber in Rensselaer, where he worked for some time. He later went to Montana and settled at Bozeman, where he followed the same trade. He enlisted in the United States navy May 28, 1917, and was honorably discharged February 1, 1919. He then came home for a visit with relatives and friends, but anxious to' get back to his work, he left after a two weeks’ stay to take up his position in Bozeman. He was there only a few weeks when the end came. He was naturally a strong, healthy boy but was unable to stand the dreaded disease of pneumonia and passed away before relatives had time to reach his bedside. He leaves in grief a father, mother, four sisters and one brother. They are Edward Denniston, Mrs. P. L. Brown, both of Foresman; Mrs. Charies Antcliff and Mrs. Sherman Simonin of near Foresman, and Mrs. Ira Brown of Sugar Grove, Penn. One brother, William, departed this life in infancy. Virgil was a model young man, well liked by all who met him and in his travels he made many friends. He w-as amiable and industrious, thoughtful of everyone, especially his father and mother. During his last visit home he said that wherever he went he never forgot his mother’s prayers, and that each day it was his habit to off r up a "prayer for the blessings of his heavenly Father upon himself and his loved ones. Virgil’s presence and cheerful smile will be much missed, but we know all heaven is repoicing at his coming. The funeral was held from the Methodist Episcopal church in Foresman and was conducted by Rev. J. J. Wilson, assisted by Rev. C. A. Sickafoose. Burial was made in the Brook cemetery. ••

Donald Ralph Latta Donald Ralph, youngest son of Charles W. and Cora M. Latta, was born April 18, 1917; departed this life March 22, 1919, aged 1 year. 11 months and 4 days. Little Donald had always been a very delicate child from birth, but he had so endeared himself to his family by his loving ways that he will be terribly missed in the home. During his last sickness he suffered more than tongue can tell, but he endured it all so patiently. All that loving hands and medical skill could do was done, but God thought best to take him home. \ He was sick just two Weeks with that dreaded disease, pneumonia. He leaves to mourn his departure his parents, two sisters, Dorothy and Hu Ida; two brothers, Charles and Philip; also two grandmothers, an invalid grandfather, aunts, uncles, and cousini, besides a number of friends. CARD OF THANKS We desire to thank our many friends and neighbors for their acts of kindness during the sickness and death of our little son. We also want to thank the choir for the beautiful songs, and the undertaker for his services.—Mß. AND MRS. WILEY LATTA and CHILDREN.

TO FRIENDS OF DEMOCRAT

Instruct your attorneys bring all legal notices in which yow are interested and will have the paying to do, to The Democrat, and thereby save money and do us a favor that will be duly appreciated. All notices of apportionment—of administrator, executor or guardian; survey, sale of real estate, ditch or road petitions, notices of non-residence, etc., the clients themselves control, and your attorneys will take them to the paper you desire, for publication, if you so direct them; while, if you fail to do so, they will give them where it suits their pleasure most and where you may least expect or desire it. So, please bear this in mind when you have any of these notices to have published.

Phonograph music, occasionally supplanted by orchestra music, has become a regular milking-time feature in ths dairy barn on a large stock farm in Ohio. Commercial, rather -than artistic, reasons have prompted the introduction of this feature, it having been fouirud after repeated tests. that the yield of the cows is greater when milked to the tune of some soft melodious selection. On several occasions an orchestra has played for the cows with the same result, namely, an increase over the-previous normal yield of milk.

ONE-THIRD OF WORLD’S GOLD

Back of Every Victory Liberty BondNo Safer Guarantee Than Our Surplus Gold Possible. Gold Is the basis of all credit. The United States is now about to enter a fifth great popular campaign for tjie sale of government bonds to the citizens of the nation. America has contracted more than $5,000,000.(XX) of debt sfnc/» December 1 last in paying war bijls, and* this money must be raised by the people. Every reader of this paper undoubtedly believes that United States government bonds are the safest investment on earth. But many of them do not, perhaps, know just how to explain their belief. One of the reasons why United States government bonds are the safest Investment ou earth is that the United States now possesses one-third of the world s gold. This has cotne about as a result of the war. The nation had large gold holdings before the fighting began in 1914, but since then the nations of the earth have been forced to send us shiploads of gold in order to get needed supplies and maintain trade relations. The Federal Reserve banks do not hold, probably, more than two-thirds of this nation’s supply ’of gold, yet they have in their reserves more than one-half much as the state banks of the next 14 most wealthy nations, and abroad the state banks have collected practically every gold piece that the people possessed. The following table bearing this fact in mind, tells why the government bonds are the safest investment known:

HELP “FINISH THE JOB.” The proceeds of the Victory Liberty Loan are to be used to bring our soldiers and sailors back and restore them to the useful occupations of peace. Every true-blue 100 per cent American should have a part in this work.

DARTING, PIERCING SCIATIC PAINS Give way before the penetrating effects of Sloan’s Liniment So do those rheumatic twinges and the loin-aches of nerve- ' inflammation of neuritis, the wry neck, the joint wrench, the ligament sprain, the muscle strain, and the throbbing bruise. The ease of applying, the quickness of relief, the positive results* the cleanliness, and the economy of Sloan’s Liniment make it universally preferred.
