DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1923.

MONROE NEWS Mr. Nelson Louden, who lias been employed at the Pennsylvania railroad sl ops In Ft. Wayne, is ut home suffering with his left arm badly lacerated. However, he was reported as being sum what improved Monday morning Mrs. Mart Huffman, of west Washington street, is reported us being much improved. Miss Motter, a trained nurse of Fort Waytie, is in attendance. Mrs. Harve Rupert, who has been in a serious condition for the past several days, is reported as slowly recovering. Miss Butler, trained nurse of the Lutheran hospital is in attendance. Horn, to Mr. and Mrs. Lauvin Burkhi ad. on Monday morning, a line ninepound girl baby. Mother and daughter are reported to be getting along nicely. Perry Johnson has secured employm- nt at the foundry at Decatur, on the night force. ■ Ir. and Mrs. Z. O. Lewellen, very ph asantly entertained at a sort of family reunion at dinner Sunday, the following guests Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Macy, son Byford, and daughter, Miss Mary and Mrs. Sadie Scherer, of Decatur; Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Smith, and sons. Clarence and George, and Mrs. Sanborn, Mrs. Eliie Steele, and J. J. Mayer of Monroe. The remodeling of the town hall has be -n completed, and the installing of th- furniture will take place in the co incil chamber within a few days. The new double doors have been hung, a runway built from tile fire engine ro >m to the road, stoves put in and other improvements made to make the place a real city hall. Now that this part of the work has been completed, ! w, itlil it not be in order for our “t-ity j dads" to cast about for an efficient fire lighting organization to protect our citizens in the event of fires which may occur? Monroe has a number of ycung men who are willing to give their services in that capacity and it now behooves the board />f trustees to see that such an organization is at once installed as a fire department, jThere are six or seven of our most , prominent young men who will volunteer to constitute a fire department. And again we would suggest that the ; beard purchase a Ford —second hand 1 machine —which can now be had at a very small sum, and convert ths same into a fire truck by mounting the tanks and at the same time converting the same into a fire extinguisher and hook and ladder truck. This can be done at a very small cost, and at the same time will enable the fire laddies to ride and not become fagged out by the time they reach a fire by pulling the apparatus by hand. This method will insure better service and security to our tax payers, and at the same time reduce the amount on the insurance from SI.OO to 80 cents per one hundred dollars. The town of Monroe is financially able to afford such an improvement and protection, and when once established will be a great source of relief. The board of trustees should give the matter due consideration, and the sooner acted upon the better it will be for the town. The first step is now made, and the powers that be should proceed until the completion of a well-equipped fire fighting organization is put in hi Monroe, which may have some tendency of bringing some sort of industries to locate here. Monroe needs a community hall. We have been informed that several of our more enterprising citizens in this community are strongly in favor of assisting in building one in this place by giving financial aid. A community ' hall is greatly needed, which would be ♦.he means of drawing large crowds to this place, as we can boast of having one of the best 11. S. basketball teams in this part of the country; one that has lost only one game of all the games played this season. The outlook for one of the fastest independent teams for next year is excellent. Besides the hall can be made useful for various other purposes. Let’s get together at once and keep on agitating this project until it becomes a reality, which it is bound to be in a short time.

VALUABLE HOC BURNS IN BABN Fire Destroys Hog Barn, Three Hogs, and 300 Bu. of Corn Near Geneva • Geneva, Ind., Jan. 23—(Special to Daily Democrat)—One valuable Bhow ( hog. two pigs, and three hundred ■ bushels of corn were consumed in a, file which destroyed a hog barn ou [ the farm of V. S. Ralston, breeder, of pure bred Chester White hogs, located one and one-half miles southwest of this place, at 8:30 o'clock last night. The origin of the fire has not been definitely determined. Mr. Ralston and the members of j his family were in bed when they; were aroused by a neighbor who had discovered the fire. Forty head of hogs were removed to safety except a show hog and two young pigs. Mr. Ralston valued the show hog at $l5O and the two pigs were worth market price. He had won several premiums with the sow. The barn was insured : for $1,500 and Mr. Ralston stated today that that amount would about replace the building- However the hogs and corn were a total loss. Origin Os Fire Urtknown Mr. Ralston is unable to state how the fire started. A kerosine stove ! was burning in the barn to warm drinking water for the hogs, but au examination of the stove after the I fire showed that it had not exploded : and it was still sitting on its founda- ■ tion. The barn was wired for elec- > trie lights and Mr. Ralston had the - lights lit during the evening > he was feeding. It is possible that • the fire was due to defective wiring. o LOCAL YOUTHS » HAO LONG TRIP ■ Roy Stove and Edgar Clouse Traveled 13,000 Miles Since November 2 Roy Stove, of this city, and Edgar Clouse, of Willshire, arrived home yesterday after traveling a distance of 13,000 miles, 3,500 of which was 1 traveled in a Ford speedster.
