Felt—-The Fabric of Fine Roofing * A look at the outside of an automobile tire leaves you no wiser than before as to its ability to stand up "in 'fill t^le l° n 8 run -” It’s the fabric —down underneath — HVIj | that gives a tire its backbone. iflffijr |>Mr In exactly the same way, the asphalt-saturated felt I 1 V Flex-a-Tile Roofing provides the strength and wftWi]] If toughness to outlast the years. Felt-making is an art in itself; an art that more than fifty years of Richardson experience has reduced to a . ' science. You can’t see the genuine Richardson felt in * Flex-a-Tile Giant Shingles, but because it is there you can buy Giant Shingles or any other Flex-a-Tile Roofing with confidence that they will last as long as the building itself is likely to stand. FLEX-A-TILE HOUSE TOPS In Flex-a-Tile Giant Shingles you get the best felt • the Richardson Mills can produce—twice the thickness used in standard shingles —thoroughly saturated with scientifically tempered natural asphalt and coated on . Loth sides to make it weather and water proof. Then jw-rn* oi»nt 50% a double surfacing of crushed slate from our own quarries at Flex-a-Tile, Georgia, is enameled right on; a prefer.) htHichardton Company e recommen j J’lex-a-Tile Giant Shingles for any roofing job where unusual beauty and rugged durability, \ plus the real economy of extra years of usefulness, are C^-* desirable.

TRIBUTE PAID j: i TO MR. HOFFMAN: — 1 ; Fraternal Monitor Pays ] Respect to Directors of Yeoman Lodge i A short sketch of the Yeomen of- j i flcials and directors of the Brother- < hood of American Yeoman, reprinted I In the Yeoman Shield from the Fra- < ternal Monitor will be found on pages i one, three and four of section six of this edition. Space did not permit ’ the printing of all the tributes to the ] Yeomen offleers and directors In Sec- | tion Six and we herewith print what the Fraternal Monitor said of A. H. i Hoffman, a member of the board of directors, who Is one of our guests to- , day. A. H. HOFFMAN—Director The Yeomen is fortunate in huv- 1 ;ing ,Mr. A. H. Hoffman of Des Moines. | The Qualities that are needed in con jstructive and co-operative fraternal • work are his. His natural aptitude ;for fellowship and his legal training, combined with a talent for organization, make his services especially vali liable. Mr. Hoffman was born at Streater, 111., in 1882, and his early youth wai spent on a farm in the northern part of lowa. He decided to obtain a good education, and his determination re suited in working his way through Drake University at Des Moines, it is related on good authority that the boarding houses where he waited on tables went out of business, chiefly because of the immense appetites of the student waiters, and Al Hoffman was usually lacking an alibi. When no more college hoarding houses were available he made his way by beat ing rugs, tending furnaces and other jobs on tlie side which permitted s young man wdth great ambition to se cure learning. His record in the university was an excellent example of what a young man with energy can do outside of working hours in both academic effort and sports. He played on the football team four years at Drake Univer sity. He was captain of the team in 1908 and 1909 and was several times selected on the Missouri Valley team. He was known in the sports columns of the newspapers .as ‘Dutch”. Hoff

man, a name that has followed him among his many friends up to the present time. He combined the liberal nrts and law courses and graduated with excellent gradings. Then followed that distressing period for every young lawyer—the lean years devoted to building up a law practice. For the first two years Al Hoffman supplemented his income from the law by coaching a higli school football team. But ids general practice nt Des Moines soon required all of ills time and lie became known as a successful attorney. At one time he was in the firm of Dorn and Hoffman. When the United States entered the War War Mr. Hoffman enlisted as a private soldier. When discharged lie held the title of captain of infantry. He is now in the Offleers’ Reserve Corps. He became a member of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen in 1908, and lias been active in its local and national work ever since. He was elected assistant attorney in 1917, and In 1920 he was promoted to special attorney. In 1922 he was elected to the board of directors. Decatur, Adams County and Indiana Are Hosts (Continued from page one) furnishing the music, combined with drum corps and other organizations. Drill teams are furnishing much amusement. Headquarters are tlio K. of P. Home, while other lodge rooms are open and Yeomen hall is a busy place. While Governor McCray cannot he here, his message leaves no doubt as to his sincerity as does the message from ex-Governor Ralston. Secretary of State Ed Jackson arrived at noon via Bluffton; Dr. Harry Hill, of Indianapolis, is here and will speak this afternoon. The occasion is one of Yeomen’s red letter days in Indiana. The parade at ten o’clock under direction of Col. Hugh D. Hite, was one surprise after another and the visitors reviewed it with delight and pleasure from the stand in front of the library. From eleven to twelve the chorus sang at the park. Then came the picnic dinner and this afternoon the program. At four o'clock will occur the initiation of the class of 250, and at six o'clock the guests will be entertained at dinner, the men at the K. of P. home and the women at the Hotel Murray. A band and chorus concert in charge of Mr. Charles Tingle at the stand on Liberty Way will be given this evening and the day will conclude with several social entertainments and dances for those who like it. It’s a big day and the community joined in real spirit for the occasion. At tlie meeting last night Mr. Frink declared again and again his love for Indiana and that Decatur must be considered among the important contestants. Mr. McKee praised the local people for their splendid efforts and promised a fair consideration. The meeting was a splendid one. Postoffice Election at Portland Finished After Week of Voting .
