Mr. Mummert is agent for the Penn. Railroad company. He took time off to bliow us about )he town and college where I had been in school thirty years ago. After enjoying a fine supper with them, we started for South Bend, stopping with my brother, John, over night. \ Here we met my other sons. Glenn was visiting Earl, who is work ing for John. Saturday we drove to Elkhart and took dinner with John W. Skinner and wife, from here to Wakarusa, where we met'many old time friends, then out to the old home place to my brother, Emery’s. It being Emery’s forty-seventh birthday, we had ice cream and cake. Sunday morning we drove through Nappanee, where we visited a few

minutes with J. R. Hoover, wife and mother-in-law, bn our wny to Camp Creek Harvest meeting. Here we met Carrie Bell, my daughter. AVe were very happy to see her and know that she Is having a fine visit with her many friends. After church I returned to Nappanee where { visited my unde, S. J. Strycker, and J. R.

THE scientific design of the Maytag castaluminum tub, together with the gyratator action, creates an unusually cleansing, more turbulent water condition in every inch of the tub all of the time. A water action that puts every drop of water—every bit of soap suds at work. This more cleansing water action, found only m the Maytag, washes clothes dean in half the usual time—washes bigger tubfuls in but 3 to T minutes. Does a whole washing—so pounds of clothes (dry weight) in one short hour. Washes everything without hand-rubbing—even collars, enns and wristbands. The Maytag has no waterline. A few pieces are washed just as effectively in a pailful of water as a big tubful of clothes are washed with the tub filled to "the brim with water.

Plicae the nearest Maytag dealer! Use a Maytag In your own borne without obligation or expense. Test it thoroughly. Compare it with other washers. If thm Maytag doesn't mil itself, don’t heap it.
