MONROE NEWS ..Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Noffsfnger left here Tuesday for Columbus, Ohio. They arrived hero several weeks ago from the south where they were en gugd as vaudeville actors. When the company disbanded they intended to engage in the poultry business on u largo scale, but it seems they became dissatisfied and started to seek other employment elsewhere. They drove through in a touring car. John Baker, candidate for sheriff ot Adams county was in town Wednesday on business. John Eicher of Berne, was looking after business here Tuesday. In conversationn with our old friend John Lobsiger on Wednesday evening, he informed us that he was still in the race as a candidate for township assessor ot Monroe township, notwith standing the tact that a report had been circulated about town that he had withdrawn from the race, and also stated that he would stay in the ring until he was elected on "knocked out”. John is worthy of your consideration and will appreciate your support. Should Mrs. Martha Johnson live until next Sunday, she will attained the ripe old age of 92 years. However, grandma Johnson is lying quite ill at this time. Quite a ripple of excitement is being caused over the Ed Habegger oil well No. 1, located on the Joseph Andrews farm, northwest of town which is now pronounced a good 25-barrel per day. Mr. Habegger was in town Wednesday seeking the services of L. W. Brown td liegin work at once in building oil tanks. The drillers predict as having good prospects of driling in a good p> oducer when well No. 2 is completed. Many strangers from various points have been looking over the oil field and several hundred acres have been leased in French township, Adams county and the west part of Wells county, on which test wells will be put down at once. Indications are that the Andrews well will be a paying investment and Mr. Habegger expects to fully investigate, and no doubt by present indication he has struck a rich and paying oil territory. The well No. 1 is now being considered a good producer, is of the finest quality of oil, and many people from other places of oil fields pronounce the flow an excellent one and predict far better results in the near future. Work of putting in tho tubing, building tanks have, begun, and pumping will be started next Monday morning. Many of our people were greatly disappointed on Wednesday morning when they found that, they could not leave town for Fort Wayne and Decatur on account of the delay of the morning north bound train owing to the wreck south of Bryant caused by part of a freight train leaving the track. The intercity bus line was also held up on account of the condition of the roads for the past 4 few days. Candidates for the various county and township offices were numerous in town this week. They were all joyful and in good humor as they approached the rank and file soliciting their support. s THE YEOMEN MEETING Officers of the Yeomen lodge will meet next Monday night and it Is important that all members who possibly can do so be present as business matters will be discussed in which all will be interested. Mr. Farmer will not be here until April 10th hut we want you at the meeting Monday night just, the same.

I wanted tosee what he’d say by Mrs. Mary Preston Cooking Expert and Food Analyst He didn’t know whether to be surprised os' mad—or both. But for a moment the salesmanager of The Heekin Company looked as if he thought I were crazy. You sec, for years The Heekin Company has taken a small profit on Heekin’s Baking Powder so that they could sell it at a low price. Heekin’s costs you much less than for any other baking powder that even approaches it in quality. The ingredients in Heekin’s are the best that money can buy—a better baking powder cannot be made. So—in fun—l asked “the sales-manager why they didn't buy cheaper materials so they could make more money on Heekin’s. When he got over his first surprise, he explained that years ago when the business was started, Mr. Heekin said that they would either make the best baking powder on the market, or nothing at all—and that standard has never been lowered. “Why, I’m so proud of the baking powder we make,” he said, “I’d rather go out of business than cheapen it. And how could you write enthusiastic advertisements about Heekin’s if we let down on the quality?” “I wouldn’t write them at all,” I replied. “Then why,” he asked me, “did you suggest buying cheaper materials?” “Just to hear what you’d say,” I laughed. And he sputtered something about being “just like a woman,” and stalked out of the room. So you can see why a better, purer baking powder than Heekin’s cannot be made. No foreign ingredients are added to create an unnatural effervescence or to give a false impression of quality. And any woman can get successful baking results with Heekin’s. This is guaranteed: If anything you bake, using Heekin’s, does not turn out to your entire satisfaction, the price of the full can of baking powder and the price of the ingredients in whatever you bake will be returned to you. Simply list the prices and send with your name and address to The Heekin Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. Buy a can today and use it—you’ll like Heekin’s.
