The Best Crop, Says Roosevelt, is the Crop of Children. \ in nis iari:a:t»pQjts talk eresratm RoofPvelT s.i!<l: • . “A man. whi>t§er lie lives on u farmi or in a town, who Is see better social and economic oondrtMns I nrevaii through the country at large, i.-CvouM he exceedingly careful that I they prevail first as regards his own | womankind. _ IT “I have hearty sympathy with the ■ r ove:r.ent to better the condition of | the average tiller of the soli, of the average wageworker, and I have an even heartier sympathy and applause* for the movement which is to better The -condition of their respective wives. “There Is plenty thsjt Is hard and | rough and disagreeable in the neces- ■ *ary work of actual life; and under the best circumstances, and no matter how tender and considerate the husband, the wife wilt have at least her full share of the work and worry and anxiety ; but if the man Is worth his salt he will try to take as much as possible of the burden off the shoulders of his helpmate. “The .best crop is the crop of children; the best products of the farm are the men and women raised thereon ; ' and the most Instructive and practical treatises on fanning, necessary though they be, are no more necessary than the books which teach us >ur duty to our neighbor, and, above all, to the neighbor who Is of our own household! “I have not the slightest sympathy with those hysterical and foolish creatures who wish women to attain to • easy lives by shirking their duties. I have as hearty a contempt for the woman who shirks her duty of bearing and rearing children, of doing her full housewife’s work, as I have'for the man who is an Idler, who shirks his duty of earning a living for himself and for his household, or who is selfish or brutal toward his wife and children. “I believe in the ImpplngS that comes fronf the performance <Jf duty, not from the avoidance of duty. But I believe also in trying, each of us, as strength is given us, to bear one another's burdens, and this especially in our own homes.”

Nearly 1000 Saloons Closed.

In supp-ut of the theory that the saloon evil is gradually K*iug overcome in Indiana. Rev. E. Shu maker of South Bend, superiuten-dent-elect of the Indiana Anti Saloon league, has complied stasis tics showing a total ot 710 dry townships in Indiana with a total population of 1,04 wards with a population of 103,250 and 24 districts with a population 0f94,800, making the total 787 for the dry townships, wards aud districts and the total population represented 1,224.375 after deducting 15,000 for overlapping territory. Mr. Shumaker figures that 338 townships are dry without any known remou stranee, and they have a total population of >67.642; that 62 townships with a population of 98,156, were made dry by the remonstrance under the icholson law and that 310 townships were made dry by remonstrance under the Moore Law, the population of which is 575,527. In the cities Mr. Shumaker’s statistics credit the Nicholson law with five dry wards with a population of 62,950. Without any known remonstrances 23 wards having a population of 30,600 are dry. In addition 24 distric s with a popula tion of 74,800 were made dry thru action of city councils. Since May 1, 1905, 904 saloons were either closed or prevented from operating after deducting 38 from the totals for ] laces that were twice remonstrated against. Of this number, 797 were closed by township remonstrance; 90 by city ward and 55 by residence district remon stranee. Mr. Shumaker figures there are 306 wet townships in the state.

Threshing Coal $3.50. Good threshing coal. $3.50 per ton; also all other grades in stock, at the Rensselaer Feed Store. Henry Eigelsbach is somewhat elated over his wheat crop, which he threshed Saturday. He had out 12 acres, which produced 326 bushels or 27 bushels to the acre, and it is a very fine quality ot wheat, too, weighing 62 pounds to the bushel- On tour acres of the beet wheat he got 122 bushels or 30i bushels to the acre. His oats, however, did not turnout so weU 4 and he only got 352 bushels from 30 acres or a trifle less than 22 bushels to the acre. The oats are generally much poorer than was thought they would be before the threshing was begun, and many reports are comiog iu of fields that are only thrashing out 18 to 25 bushelß, and that in many in stances the oats do not weigh more than 20 to 26 pounds to the bushel. The following markets are quoted in Rensselaer today, wheat 75, oats 35 and com 49. It is not improbable that the light weight of oats will result in a further reduction in the price, and the market also shows a decline in wheat price. Threshing coal for sale, all the grades, at Coen & Brady’s Eleva tor. w2-165t

cm Clttk Gem Bakery and Confectionery let Cream Parlor CIME used to be that every de’aler made his own Ice Cream. Of recent years almost all dealers have had it shipped in to them, and they are ignorant of the ingredients used and. the methods of its manufacture. Cream is cheaper in the small town than it is in the city, and it is therefore more expensiveLto manufacture in the. city, and add to this the manufacturer’s profit and express charges, and if the Ice cream is sold at the same price the local manufacturer sells it for, there is a cheapening of the ingredients. The “Little Gem” uses pure cream, separated by local dairymen—you know the' product is pure and free from the cheapening processes employed by the manufacturers in the big cities. Our gasoline engine makes it possible to freeze ten gallons of cream in eight minutes. Orders delivered to * any“part of the city Try it and you will agree that Ttl5 — Little Gem* Ice Cream is the best ever sold in Rensselaer. A large rpom with every appointment for the retail trade.
