The definite date for the county meet will be apnounced later, and the eliminatgns will take place at the vigilantes’ private range near Albion. Three men will be selected for each team. Granted Divorce _ Helen Cunningham has been granied a divorce from lLeMar Cunningham tormer physical director of the Y. M. C. A. at Auburn and now located at South: Bend. The p:zintiff secured the decree on a charge of nonsupport.

Home is Destroyed. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Bugene Cooper at Dunlap was desiroyed by fire Monday. Practically all of the contents burned. ‘ # : Edmund and Jessie Fritz were called to. Dawson Springs, Ky, on account of the serious illness and death of their falhelr. Chas. W. Fritz. fme e ~ Door Handles Foil Thieves. , A still higher margin of protectién against car theft is now provided buyers of Oakland and Pontiac Sixes through a new tyvpe of outside door handle which cannot be forced by the cleverest thief. = - »

The new door handle is so designed that the customary method of forufng with a 2 wrench or a Ssection of iron pipe will not give the thief entrance to the car. When such extreme pressure is applied to the handle it merely turns without releasing the door catch. A few seconds of attention at any Oakland-Pontiac service station will restore- the handle uninjured to

its original position. Thus the Oakland Motor Car company, and the Fisher Body Corporation which builds the Oakland-Pontiac bodies, have raised an almost impregnable first line of defense. : Should a thief effect entrance by breaking a window or because the owner forgot to lock the car he will would be confronted by equally secured second and third lines of defense. These are provided by the semi-coincidental lock which locks both the ignition and the transmission with a turn of the ignition key. The transmission is locked from the dash by an ingenious sliding plunger which moves inside an armored cable extending from the ignition key down into the transmission. ; The Oakland and Pontiac Sixes with their three effective lines of defense are said to be as nearly theft-proof as any car in America.

oc BUYS A REALLY GOOD CIGAR

You say it can’t be done? Man, read this!

The five-cent cigar purchaser is as much entitled to enjoyment out of his smoking as the man who pays more. Here’s the cigar that’ll give it to him: Havanu Ribbon. Don't say it’s “just another five-center.” T'vy it. Then let your judgment rule. Havana Ribbon is as differen: from ordinary 5c cigars as green or over-ripe bananas are different from ripe ones. And for the same reason: Havana Ribbon contains no “green” wunder-ripe tobacco; nor over-ripe. No bitterness; no flatness. You get a smoke that’s marvelously fragrant, cool, mild, mellow —fine-tasting. . .. Because.it’s ripe tobacco—every bit. And lone-fillgr too! No “seraps” or “cuttings.” Havana Ribbon has been going great guns for thirty years. Millions being smoked! It’s the “nickler” of the century, and sec .will prove to you that this is no idle dream. Sold everywhere. Also Praetical Pocket Packages of five cigars.
