While three of the bandits, armed and masked, entered a room where the directors were in session, a fourth remained in an automobile near the bank and provided the means of escape for his companions. Gaylord Doman, cashier, was forced to open the bank's vault after the lubbers had lined the directors against a wall. Chivalry of the liandits was revealed when one of them told Doran's wife, employed at the l>ank, that the robbery had been set for Wednesday, but when it was discovered she was alone in the bank at the appointed hour, the robbery was postponed due to a desire not to frighten her by a lone encounter with the bandits. Directors who faced a revolver in the hands of one of the robbers were E. E. Gaskill, also president of the bank; William Shaffer, George Alexander, C. A. Jones, James Fawley, and Earl Shirley. o Personals Miss Margaret Vesey, of New York City, arrived in this city, today, and ] will be a guest for several days of Mrs. Philip Obenauer.

STEALS “UNDIES”: FOR GIRL FRIEND I d Pendleton, Sept. 21. —Verne Heche, “ of Vera Cruz, Ind., serving a term at i I the state reformatory here on a|l ( hinge of grand larceny and who had ] been made a trusty u. me institution, will likely have to serve for at least a year longer, ns the result of stealing tinderwear manufactured by the reformatory Inmates and sending It to his girl at Bluffton. ] ( This was the today of lhe superintendent. A. F. Miles, who * I declured that "Heche had not made a blunder” until a short time ago 1 when it was found out he had beI trayed the trust imposed in him by J prison officials. • 1 Heche with another prisoner had j been made a trusty and the two were assigned to the supervision of men ( employed nightly at a stone tpiarry , outside the prison walls. It was found that the two men took turns at staying at the quarry. One would remain on duty while the other would go on , an “outing.” The Bluffton youth became implicated when prison officials began an investigation of chicken stealing The county sheriff did most of the investi- | gating and it was found that two men. brother-in-laws, who lived near the reformatory, were guilty. Heche was absolved of the blame in the chicken thievery, but it was found that he had made frequent visits to their homes and hud received bootleg whiskey, which is believed, also, to have found its way to other trusties. It was also suspicioned that Heche had stolen underwear and sent it to Bluffton, where he formerly lived. Peter Stoner, a field man representing the reformatoiy, made an inspection trip to Bluffton and recovered all of the underwear at the home of Heche's girl. Heche’s minimum term was to expire the latter part of this month and the parole board was to act on his case. However, the reformatory's disciplinary court, which is composed of the institution’s officials and teachers. has recommended that Heche’s term be extended one year longer and it is seldom that the. parole board fails to follow out the court’s recom- ' mendation. Supt. Miles stated today that Heche I had “been brought inside the walls I and would not get out again until his ■ term Tiad been served.” o Mr. and Mrs. Sam Miller and daugh-1 ter Billy Jean, of Fort Wayne, visited Thursday and Friday at the J. C. Miller residence, Marshall street. o Makes Girls More Attractive Wouldn’t you, too, like a face powder : that will keep shine away—stay on | longer spread smoothly — not clog | the pores—and always be so pure and fine? It is made by a new French I Process and is called MELLO-GLO. ] It is surely a wonderful Face Powder. ] Just try MELLO-GLO. Holthouse Drug Co.

COURTHOUSE ' I Divorce Granted In the case of Esther E. Roop vs. Harry A. Roop, the court grunted a divorce to the plaintiff and restored ■ LOCAISTORE CHANGES POLICY To keep pace with modern merchan-]| dising John T. Myers and Son, local: Clothiers have adopted 41 change in business policy that will prove beniftcal to (heir old and new customers. Having two retail stores makes it possible for them to take this step as their added buying power gives them ] price advantase that they have never haxl before. "We want to sell merchandise that is up-to-date, with quality that we can guarantee, at the price people want to] pay” said Mr. John T. Myers this morning. “In order to do this we have ( hanged most all of the prices in the 1 store, and have adopted a new plan to 1 'Sell our merchandise closer and sell I more of it’ and tho prices we now have are in the reach of everybody." "Never in all of my business career | have we offei’bd such wonderful materials and patterns in suits that we are showing this fall at $19.50. Now that | we have announced this to the public, I predict that we will have the ■ greatest suit business that this store has ever seen. The secret of this cf| course, is our buying power. We are reducing the prices on shirts, sox, underwear and in fact everything in the store. Before the year is over we will have prices that will equal any city store any place.” "Our Shoe department offers the best saving in town. We can save the customer a dollar on any pair of shoes. The new ones are here and they certainly are beauties. We can sell good shoes cheaper because our department is small and we get a great turn-over, and we have such little expense in operating it. We are going to surprise the public in this department some of these days.” John T. Myers has another store in Bluffton, Indiana, known as John T. Myers Co., of which Ralph Tyndall, I formerly of this city is a partner. It
