RUMMAGE DOES GOOD.
Christian Church Ladies Annual
Sale Helps Many and Saves
Waste of Clothing.

The Rummage sale held by the
ladies of the Christian church has
come to be an annual affair. and
people expect it. For two weeks
these ladies have been occupying the
Altman store room on Laporte street
for this purpose. Everyone is fam
liar with the plan. which is to
gather up such articles of clothing.
furniture, etc, people will give them.
and place it on sale at low prices. so
that those who can make use of such
goods can buy them at nominal
price. These ladies find that MANY
people in these days when "familv
sewing" is almost an unknown art.
and few know how to clean clothes
and make them over for smalle,
children, wish to be rid of what is
partly worn out, and yet do not
actually wish TO be wasteful and
throw such away To such thew ap-
peal, and are given many articles
that are capable of being made to do
good service, if changed a little.
As there is some prejudice to hold
inc such sales. these ladies HAYS the
health officials see that the goods
they handle are free from any germs
that will endanger the life of the
buyer.
One who has had large experience
with these sales, says that most
Leople would be astonished to know
the good that is done for the really
destitute by the means of a rum
mage sale. A poor woman came in
net long ago. She wore a small
shoulder cape, and little scarf on
her head. Her clothing was thin and
worn and scant. She had % cents.
She inquired the price of various
articles, but did not buy. but the
women In charge learned her condi-
ton, and here was a chance to do
good that otherwise would not have
been learned. They "sold" this
poor woman a complete outfit of
warm clothing, including a good
serviceable coat. for just % cents.

aggregate ''wet'' majorities are only
1866 votes.
Next year the people of Indiana
will elect a new Governor and a new
Legislature. S ntiment is now be-
ing crystalized concerning the plat
forms and candidates to be submit
ted to the voters at these elections
The combined liquor interests are
secretly at work throughout the
state counseling silence on the tenn
perance question; their agency is
the professional politicians who are
seekers after Office and who are
anxious to have platforms and candl
dates which will give no offense to
these interests.
Those opposed to the open saloon
must no longer remain silent; the
time is at hand for the people to
speak on the temperance question,
free from the counsel or control Of
mere politicians. For this purpose
the voters of Indiana, regardless Of
party allegiance, are called upon to
meet In Delegate and Mass Conven-
tiol at Tomlinson Hall in the city
of Indianapolis, on the fifth dav of
December. 1911. There will be two
sessions of the convention; the first
converting at one-thirty O'Clock p.
M. and the second at seven o'clock
p. m. A program of notable speak
ers for both sessions has been pre-
pared.
This convention is not called to
organize a new political party. nor
as an aid or embarrassment to any
existing political party, but only for
the purpose of enabling the people
to devise ways and means for MAX
ing an effective demand that party
organizations, platforms and candi-
dates Of all parties shall be the ex-
preston of the purposes and conSic-
tions of the great body of the people
of the state upon the saloon issue
rather than the outcome of barter
and compromise between the poll
ticians and the corrupt and corrupt.

Delegates and alternates from
each of the several counties of the
State shall be selected. designated
or appointed, at such times and in
such manner as may be determined
by the active and leading supporters
OF the temperance cause resident in
each of said respective counties
and the basis of representation in
said convention shall be not less
than one delegate and one alternate
from each township in each of said
counties. and the friends of this
cause are urged to select as dele
gates and from two to ten addition
from two to ten additional dele
gates and frim two to ten addition

it convenient, advisable and DOS
sible. 1t is urged that all such
delegates and alternates be selected
as nearly as can be in equal num-
bers from the two prevailing poll
teal parties, but not overlooking to
select members of other parties
wherever the same can be done.
This call is issued by the under
signed committee as the result of
the counsel of more than two hun
bred temperance workers from vari-
Gus counties throughout the state.
obtained both by conference and
correspondence. This convention will
be the most important assembly held
In Indiana since the Civil War. and
we call upon every enemy of the
saloon, men and women, to be pres

day to the service of God and His
country.
