ENTERTAINED THEIR NEIGHBORS (Continued from page one) the Winona Bible conference, where many of the young people have spent ten days the past two summers, and which has accomplished many things for which the Decatur church has been well repaid for the efforts and money spent in sending her young people there. Mr. Backemeyer, in his short talk to the Endeavorers. got a pledge from the Bluffton people that they would send twenty-seven next year; then Ossian thought they would go one better, and could send twentyeight. Decatur, not to be outdone, agreed that they could send thirty. The service was an Inspiring one, and at the-elose the Bluffton girls sang a beautiful song. The Rev. Mr. Backemeyer preached the evening sermon, following the Endeavor meeting, his subject being “The Church of Christ and the World Today.” It was an excellent discourse, and thoroughly enjoyed by the congregation, w’hich filled the auditorium of the church. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Carpenter, and daughter Mary and sons Harry and Levi, from east of the city shopped here this afternoon.

The regular annual meeting of the chapter will be held Tuesday evening at seven o’clock. The election of officers will take place and every member is urged to be present. FORDS CUT SIOO ON GASOLINE BILLS Other Cars Show Proportionate Saving. A new carburetor which cuts down gasoline consumption of any motor and reduces gasoline bills from onethird to one-half is the proud achievement of the •Air-Friction Carburetor Co., 414 Madisop St., Dayton, Ohio. This remarkable invention not only increases the power of all motors from 30 to 50 per cent, but enables every one to run glow on high gear. It also makes it easy to start a Ford or any other car in the coldest weather. You can use the very cheapest grade of gasoline or half gasoline and half kerosene and still get more power and more mileage than you now get from the highest test gasoline. Many Ford owners say they now get as high as 45 to 50 mjles-to a gallon of gasoline. So sure are the manufacturers of the immense saving r th'eir new carburetor will make that they offer to send it pis thirty days’, trial to every car owner. C%n be put or taken off in a few minutes by-any one. AU who want to try it should send their name, address and nfake of car to the manufacturers at onfce. They algo wage local agents, to whim they offer exceptionally large profits. Write them today.—Advt.
