I Monroe News , -S-: Rev. E. L. Jones and wife, of New Haven, stopped at the home of Z. O. Lewellen on Monday evening for a short visit enroute to their home from Sturgis. Mich. Harve McKean and wife and Frank McKean and wife of Bluffton, spent Decoration Day with relatives here. Miss Ada Lammiman. of Monroe, and Helen Stanley, of Decatur, left here Saturday for Angola, to visit the students from this place attend-' ing the normal school. They were joined by Messrs Harry Essex and Harve Coppess on Sunday, driving I through. A very pleasant time is re-1 ported in boat riding, fishing, and! picnic, and returned home Monday evening well pleased with their out-1 ing. Monroe has again resumed its nor- j ma! conditions. The stores opened! on time early Tuesday morning, the shops and workmen began work after > a twosdays’ vacation and the town: has assumed its former hustle.

I On Tuesday morning Monroe had la real ’fishy order,” the atmosphere |jwas filled with large fish stories and Lone could almost see the “scales” flying in the air. Several parties I composed of some of our best citiIzens gathered in groups along the • banks of the Wabash and St. Marys j rivers fdr a day’s outing recreation and picnic. They were loud Tuesday ; morning in praising the fine dinners I prepared by the good ladies of the several parties. And now Lawrence | Beitler, the harness man, and Will j Martz are in dispute as to who shall j claim the title of being the champion I fisherman, leaving J. W. Everhart, ■ former champion in the background, i The following are the parties that left j here Monday morning: Lobenstein i party—Otho Lebenstein and wife, W. • C. Martz, wife, son and daughter.

IS DEPUTYCLERK L. L. Baumgartner Selected by County Clerk Kelly to Fill Vacancy — WELL KNOWN MAN Served as Deputy Under Clerk Bleeke, and Was Surveyor Four Years County Clerk John T. Rally today announces the appointment of L. L. ■ Baumgartner as deputy county clerk. • Mr. Baumgartner taking the place made vacant by the resignation of Miss Naomi Gass, who resigned ten days ago to prepare for her marriage which will take place June 15.

For several years he was a city councilman, and later city civil engineer. At different times he has served in the county offices, and is well Qualified to handle the job he now takes up.

FORDS CUT SIOO ON GASOLINE BILLS Other Care Show Proportionate ii Saving- p t A new carburetor which cuts down gasoline consumption of any motor _ and reduces gasoline bills from one- | thltd to one-half is the proud | achievement of the Air-Friction Car- I buretor Co., 414 Madison St., Dayton, I Ohio. This remarkable invention not I only increases the power of all mo- I tors from 80 to 50 per cent., but on- I ables every one to run slow on high I gear. It also makes It easy to start I a Ford or any other car in the cold- I est weather. You can use the very I cheapest grade of gasoline or halt gasoline and half kerosene and still get more power and more mileage than you now get from the highest tost gasoline. Many Ford owners say they now get as high as 45 to 50 miles to a gallon of gasoline. So sure are the manufacturers of the immense | saving their new carburetor will make that they offer to send it on thirty days’ trial to every car owner. Can be put or taken off in a few’ minutes by any one. All who want to try it should send their name, address and make of car to the manufacturers at once. They also want local agents, to whom they offer exceptionally large profits. Write them, today.— Adv. June6-Jtib fix
