Milt McCord and Harry Watson had a dispute last Tuesday evening which resulted in a small *set to’ between them» the latter getting the worst of it.

Rye Crop Damaged.
Stoutsburg, June 11.—Farmers find that the rye crop has been badlv damaged and some fields completely ruined by the late hard frosts. Wild hay will be a short crop in this vicinity. Grube Bros, have taken their engine to Parr, where they have a constract for sawing. Several parties from Illinois have visited this locality with the intention of buying land. George Miller is spending a few days with his parents and will return to Valparaiso this week. We wonder why Mr. John Allen, of Dunville, should come so far to get to a postoffice? Perhaps the popular postmistress at this place could explain that. Miss Ne; a Mills, of Chicago, is visiting relatives and friends in this vicinity The postoffee at this place was robbed of a small sum.on Saturday last, Why would it not be a good idea for the faimers of Jasper county to organize a Farmer's Mutual Insurance Co? John Beachlerhas purchased a new thrashing machine. Arthur Williams is going to cut and press new hay this week. Arthur is a hustler.
The New Presbyterian Church.
The building committee of the Presbyterian church have designated D, E. Hollister to receive subscriptions for the new building. So far $5,487 have been subscribed toward the $lO,000 hoped for. The building committiee will meet Monday evening to decide on the plans after which work will be commenced immediately on the site of th'e old church and it is expected that the dedication will take place this fall or early winter. The Presbyterian people are pleased indeed to discover the warm support that is being accorded them by the members of other churches and by those who are not church members. This in fact is ihe reciprocation of like favors extended by Presbyterians to all the other churches when their buildings were being put up. Other denominations have good houses of worship and it is a matter of congratulation to the town that this church will be built on rjsuch substantial and modern plans'.

U., and is the most perfect and economical insurance yet devised. It carries out fully the fraternal features of the order. The expenses are as follows: Membership Fee. $1,000 single policy ...... $5.00 $2,000 single policy ..... 6.00 *I,OOO joint policy 7.50 *2.000 joint policy 9.00 Registry fee. single nolicy 1.00 Registry fee, joint policy 1.50 Annual dues, single policy, 50 cents per $1,000; annual dues, joint policy, 75 cents per SI,OOO. In all cases where application is rejected all money paid on membership fee and advance assessment shall be returned or held subject to applicant. Joint policies are limited to husband and wife, and loss payable to the survivor. «1,000 Single Policy *I,OOO Joint Policy Age. Assessment.

Assessments aie officially ordered six times a year, viz: Jan. 1, March 1, May 1, July 1, Sept. 1 and Nov. 1 Can I join the aid degree without joining the Alliance? Certainly not. You would not ask to become a 32d degree mason without passing through the lower degrees. Just so, you cannot join the second degree of the Alliance without first becoming a member in the regular way. Organize an Alliance and then form an Aid Degree lodge. Parties can write to C. Vincent at Indianapolis or James Welsh at Rensselaer regarding the establishment of a Degree lodge and we hope the farmers will generally engage in this work.
Comparative Cost of Life Insurance.
Official reports show for 1893 the following in regard to the three classes of life insurance in the Uaited States. Fraternal Societies, including the National Alliance Aid, have 1,801,000 members, carrying $3,000,000,000 in risks; paying $31.000,000 in losses, at an expense of $2,413,000, or a total average of $9 for every.sl,ooo insurance carried, of which only 62 cents per SI,OOO was used for expense. Ordinary Assessment Companies had 1,676,000 members, carrying $4,170,000,000 in risks, paying $28,655,000 in losses, with $18,305,000 for expense; or total cost per SI,OOO, of $11.70, Oi which SFSO W’CBt for expens es. Old Line Companieshad 1,167,000 member;, carrying $3,213,000,000 of risks, paying $57,192,000 at an expense of $48,636,000 or total cost of $32 per SI,OOO carried, of which $10.34 "'em to pay the expense!! You pay your money and take your choice/ The expense of conducting the old line company is more than the entire cost of Insurance in the Fraternal Society.
I. WINKER.
The fraternal orders furnish the cheapest kind of life insurance in the world, and the farmers live longer than other classes, accordingly the death rate is tower than in other occupations —therefore, it naturally follows that life insurance furnished in our own order will be cheaper than in any other order—the cheapest in the world. The following counties in Indiana are now represented in the Aid Degree: Boone, DeKalb, Green, Hamilton. Henry, Madison, Marion and Tipton.
Organizers Vincent and Welsh completed the reorganization of Salem Alliance, south of Remington, in Benton county, with 25 members. Mr. Gibson was elected president and Wm. Smith, secretary, and the meetings are on Wednesday evenings at Rose Ridge school house. The Remington Alliance met and elected John Jordan president and C. W. Horner secretary.
Work of the Organizers.
A committee was appointed to solicit membership. This is the re organization in one lodge of all the old alliances of Carpenter township and this plan will at once be put into operation in every township of Jasper county, where such a plan is more convenient to members than having separate lodges. Six new applications were made to the organizers for insurances policies in the Aid Degree, and the prospects are that a majority of the eligible members of the alliance will take out policies. Mr. Vincent returned to Indianapolis Saturday night where he will remain for about ten days, superintending the issuing of the official paper, the Farm Record, after which he will resume the work here. In the meantime Mr. Welsh will keep the ball rolling, and have ap pointments made for Mr. Vincent to fill on his return. Alliance No. 72. Jasper county, meets the first and third Saturdays at the Union school house in Jordan township. Egypt alliance, in Jordan township, will hold its next regular meeting Saturday night, June 8. The officers are Frank Welsh, president; John U. Ihff, secietary; James Bullis, business agent. Purcy Alliance, Iroquois township, Newton county, meets alternately in the Iroquois school house on the 2d Saturday night, in each month and in th 3 Purcy school house on the 4th Saturday night. The officers are John Putt, president; Mr. Galbreth, secretary; Geo. Galbreth, business agent. A life insurance policy in the Alliance Aid is beyond the reach of the assessor or tax gatherer; the sheriff can never touch it, but at a cost of only about 1 per cent per annum (ranging from half of 1 per cent to 2 per cent) you add SI,OOO to your estate for the benefit of dear ones at the darkest hour they will ever see. Percy Alliance 180, Newton county, meets the first Saturday of each month at Iroquois school house and the third Saturday at the Percy school house. Meetings at candle lighting. The Alliance is to be commended in the warmest terms forth eir vigorous efforts at selfhelp. In Newton County, No. 180 made an order for goods last week that will save the members $25. This will grow to $75 or SIOO for this Alliance before Sept. 15, and to nearly or quite SI,OOO before the expiration of the year. This order has it within its power to save its members SIO,OOO every year in Jasper county and other counties can do as well. We hope to see this movement in favor of co-operation grow and develop, till it shall embrace quickly the entire county. The Degree Lodge will be instituted at Center school bouse in Union township on Tuesday night, June 11 Lt is specially desired that all m embers of the Aid degree be present to receive the degree werk. Degree members from other neighborhoods are invited to be present. The general organizer, C. Vincent, will be present and give the Degree work. The Aid Degree has paid over $20,000 in death accident benefits from January 1, 1894, to February 1, 1895.
C. Vincent, of Indianapolis, state organizer of the F. A. & I. U.. has been visiting Jasper, Newton and Benton counties in the interest of that order. The cooperative and business features have been developed to a higher degree of efficiency and the future of the order is more promising than it has been for several years. The life insur ance department or is now a prom inent part of Alliance work and one that promises to give solidity and permanence to the organization. This degree is conducted on much the same principle as the Endowment Rank. K. of P.. the A. O. U. W., ot Modern Woodmen. Some of the, distinctive features of the Alliance insurance are that members are permitted to draw their money in installments after the age of 70 years—thus in effect providing an endowment in old hge, or if a member suffers the loss of a limb or an eye, a portion of the policy becomes payable to the bolder, and he has his money to use in time of-need. Another feature peculiar to this order is their ••joint policy.” which maybe taken by a husband and wife, payable to the survivor at the death of either. This is proving very popular in Jasper aud Newton counties, fully eighty per cent being of ths, kind. In the re-organ iza-
tion, partizan politics is not allowed to have a place the lodge room but all farmers may meet on a level, do their own business and add to their Opportunities for social and financial improvement. The Press wishes the Alliance unbounded success in its field of labor.— Press - Remington, Ind., Organizer Vincent will hold a meeting in Gillam township next Wednesday night. Inquire of Thos. Robinson for place of meeting, and every Alliance sympathizer is expected to be present.
Catholic Notes.
Last Monday the Rt. Rev. Henry Elder, Archbishop of Cincinnati, was a welcome visitor at the College. The Archbishop ordained all of the priests of the College to the priesthood except the Rev Frederic Schalk. Hence, the presence of the Venerable prelate among his old friends was a cause of mutual joy and delight. From Collegeville his Grace went to South Bend to attend the fiftieth anniversary of the University of Notre Dame. He was accompanied by the Very Rev. August Seifert, Rector of the college. Next Sunday the feast of Corpus Christi or the institution of the Blessed Sacrament will be celebrated at St. Augustin’s. In the early mass the members of St. Rose Society will approach the sacraments. At the late service there will be a procession with the Blessed Sacrament along the aisles of the church. Twenty little girls dressed in white wearing veils and wreaths will precede and strew flowers while the alter boys will swing the censers. Corpus Christi is a feast which was instituted in the thirteenth century by the church. On the day in which Christ instituted this sacrament the church is occupied with the reconciliation of sinners, the blessing of holy oils, the washing of feet, and cither mysteries. Wherefore sufficient time is not left to honor this most sublime sacrament. Therefore, in order, to strengthen and exalt the true faith, besides the commemoration which the church makes of tnis sacrament daily, a particular feast is celebrated immediately after Pentecost on which dav pious people will vie with one another in hastening in great crowds to our churches, where the clergy and the laity will chant hymns of praise and gladness. In cathclic countries every church from the cathedral of the royal city to the village chaple. keeps the festival. This feast is celebrated with all possible magnificence and pomp. All the splendor and magesty displayed in our worship, the. magnificence of our temples, the beauty and variety of our ceremonies, the choice works which our worship unceasingly demands from architecture, sculpture, painting, music, poetry, eloquence, and all acts; those efforts so prodigious in the countries and ages of faith, efforts to raise up to the very clouds the dwelling of God on earih, to surround the Eachasistic victim with incense, hymns aud flowers, —all these monuments of faith and of love which never says, It is enough,’ all have their foundation in our belief in the real presence of Jesus Christ upon our alters. We pray, we kneel down, we adore, we sing hymns of gladness, because He is there! The presence of Jesus cannot tolerate in his temple anything profane; it calls for the pomp, majesty, the gravity of the most imposing ceremonies; for all outward marks of respect and reverence which circumstances permit.

"Cannot be Improved!" So MRS. F. E. BAKER, of Galveston, Tex., —SAYS OF Ayer’s Hair Vigor "Having used Ayer's Hair Vigor for years, I find that it keeps my scalp clean and the hair in the best condition. My mother, now sixty years of age, has as fine a head of hair as when she was forty, a fact which she attribites to the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor. It thickens the growth of the hair and restores gray hair to its original color. I cannot see how this preparation could be improved.”— Mrs. F. E. Baker, Gal- Oz veston, Texas.
