Inquiry by the Advancer’s as to the cause was answered ns follows by Mr. Moyer: hue to delay in shipment of several cars of gasoline I had an order from tbe Pine Oil company, our supply be fame temporarily exhausted, and our Mr Stahly was sent to Bourbon "'here the Gerard Brothers are hand ' in S the same products. Some error at their plant took place' in which we were given kerosene Instead of gasoline, resulting in our placing •wo tank loads of this material intr °iir regular poiuts of service—* East End, Beechley tire shop and North End garage. This error is regretted sincerely and I want anybody who •“tperienced any discomfort or incontinence from this incident to give “ s an opportunity to make it right.

this order, delivered a most abie and appropriate sermon in ' eulogizin' this great fraternal and beneflcal order. The church choir rendered a | beautiful anthem and Robert War j ren, another member of the order, favored the congregation with a solo, “A Uttle Bit of Love.” A good sized congregation was in at-' tendance at this anniversary service, in addressing the Odd Fellows, the Rev. Mr. Goifsspoke in part as follows: Text. —“And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” I C°r. 13:13. it is a delightful task that has been given me this morning that of addressing the membership of the Nappanee Independent Order of Odd Fellows in their observance of the 107th anniversary of the order, and in the name of the congregation of i this church,. I bid you welcome. The Odd Fellow’s lodge has many things in common with the Christian church. Both are engaged in the worthy hut difficult task of ministering to the relief of human suffering, poverty, and disease; of making the difficulties of life less burdensome to be borne; of sharing the heartaches and the sorrows of the widows and orphans: and of extending the principles of Christ on earth in an application of tiie ideals of Universal Brotherhood with friendship, love and truth. The text which has been chosen jor the basis of this sermon is pecu(Continued on Page Two). ''Abie’s Irish Rose ’ Saturday, May 8 The theater loving goers of Nappanee- will be pleased to know that Manager N. Calbeck of the Auditorium has booked “Abie’s Irish Rose,”-for Saturday evening, May 8. This will be the first time in about nine years that a company playing the spoken drama has essayed to visit Nappanee. The fact that it is a company of the first magnitude is another feature of which we should set up and take notice. - Whoever in their wildest dreams would have ever thought of a metropolitan company from Chicago coming to the Auditorium. The company that will play here has played twenty-eight weeks at the Garrick theatre in Detroit, also 58 weeks at the Studebaker, Chicago, and includes Joseph Greeuwald, Dorothy Webb, William McFadden, Ada Jaffee, Harry Marks Stewart, Harry Garrity, George Palmer Moore, Alfred Clark and others. Seats for this engagement will go on sale at Johnson’s drug store, Saturday morning, May 1. Theatre parties are being made up at Milford, Bremen, Bourbon, Wakarusa, and Syracuse to attend this play and it is more than probable that the house will J)e sold out in a short time. Base Ball Season Opens Sunday The baseball season will open in Nappanee next Sunday, when the Studebakers of South Bend will play the Independents of Elkhart at the East Side park. These are two of the best teams in Northern Indiana and they will be able to put up a close and exciting contest. The fans will see many familiar faces who have played on the local diamond before. Deßose, who caught for Nappanee the past three years, will be on the receiving end for tnb Studebakers. Jake Weslock will do the twirling. Rogers, former Lansing pitcher, is also with the Studebakers. Many of the old Conn players will be seen on the Independent lineup— Moore, Nicholson, Scott, Van Antwerp and Van Dornofold. The game will be called at 3 o’clock. Park Losing Proposition. The East Side park, which was provided by the Nappanee business men as a playground for its citizens and which is the finest to be found in Northern Indiana, has been a losing proposition for the past five years. When the plant was built It was hoped that it would pay out from the receipts for baseball and other amusement enterprises. The expense of maintaining the park is around 1700 per year, to which must be added interest charges and other expenses. This is a constant drain on the guarantors, besides the principal is now due. The guarantors are now facing the proposition of an assessment around S2OO each, or of selling the land and improvements. The public was especially lake warm toward the park last summer and if this apathy continues this year it is more than likely to be the last year for he park. The only way to keep these fine recreational grounds is to patronize baseball and other amusements. The cost is small to each one and besides getting their money's work at the time they will be helping their city to maintain this fine park. Order jrour Bermuda onion. sets now. Syler & Syler adv.

Mutschler-Chapman Wedding Social Event of Season The social event of the spring season was the marriage of Miss Helen Elizabeth Mutschler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mutschler, and Richard Collins Chapman' of Bridgeport; Conn., son of Mr. and Mrs. George Chapman'of Dowogiac.

Here the mantel was banked with a background of pink rambler roses and snap dragons relieved with ferns and palms. Tall cathedral candles on either side of the improvised altar provided the foft lighting effect. A profusion of roses throughout the home, added charm to the occasion and made a scene of exquisite splendor. The bridal party advanced down the stairway to the strains of the I.iohengrin Wedding march played by Mrs. Guy Kirsch of Sturgis, a sorority sister of the bride. The six bridesmaids descended first, form Wg an aisle through which the bride and her matron of honor, her sister, Mrs. Fred C.

Mrs. Wambaugh wore a period dress of pink taffeta and carried a bouquet of delphinium and pink roses.
