LETTER FROM FORMER NAPPANEE .MAN TELLS OF HIS RECENT ILLNESS I Mr. and 1 Mrs. Francis Berlin are in receipt of a letter from Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Sarber, of Malta, Mont., which tells of the recent illness of Mr. Sarber. Before goingxwest Mr/ Sarber was trustee of Locke township and he is will known by many Nappanee people. For the information of his many friends we are printing a part of the letter: “We are not feeling well, neither of ns, hut quite a bit better than we have been feeling in the past -several weeks, I was in the hospital for five weeks and had a terrible hard time of it as my appendix was, ruptured and the doctors talked of operating ihut as they did not urge it very strongly I told them if i had to go I would rather go without the operation and they told me they would do all they could without it. They took me to the hospital and they put me on my back —I "could not lay on my sides at all. I lay on my back for three weeks with a sack of ice on my side and l do not think I would have ever got by without the ice that was kept on continuously for the three weeks. The severe pains almost got me. There was three nights it was hard for me to get rhy breath and I thought some times I would have to go around the corner in another room and wait for my friends and relatives to come but the good Lord spared me. It seems He did not want me yet for some reason. “Well, I am thankful I am as well as I am.***l cau walk outside the house a little uow but 1 have quite a bit of pain and misery yet. The doctors think that if nothing else sets in I will get along all right now but I will never be as I was before.”

CAR AND GARAGE DESTROYED BY FIRE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING Fire, which is supposed to have started from defective wiriflg in a car destroyed a barn and the car on the William Schultz farm northwest of Nappanee early Sunday morning. The Bremen fire department answered the call but were unable to save the barn although the house was saved. The blaze was discovered by Mr. Schultz and his helper, Almond Sellers at about 1:25 when they were awakened by the sound of the automobile horn. Evidently wires in the oar had shorted causing the horn to iblow and also being responsible for starting the blaze. *When Mr. Schultz and his helper rushed to the barn the car was ablaze and it was impossible to save the building. About twenty-five cords of wood and two barrels of fuel oil were burned in the garage. The loss was estimated at SI,OOO mostly covered by insurance. STITCHERY CLUB OF BREMEN IS ENTERTAINED BY MRS.

U. S. 6 OFFICIAL MARKERS NOW UP FROM COAST TO COAST Scranton, Penn., July 29 —The official road markers for U.- S. S Roosevelt Highway, extending from Boston to Los Angeles, have now been erected for the next extention of the road through the''WestT giving it complete official marking Jor its entire length. The American Association of State Highway Officials last winter officially extended this road from Its former terminus at Denver, to the Pacific coa§t;,juuL the four western states: of Colorado, Utah, Nevada and California have now completed- the placing of the markers on same. Handsome large map-folders, showing in detaij the route of the highway are now available for free distribution, according to announcement today by Raymond B. Gibbs, of Scranton, Vice President of the Association sponshring this scenic highway from coast to coast. Tourist bureaus, motor clubs, oil companies, hotels or Individuals, who ,can use these map-folders may secure a supply, free of charge, iby writing Mr. Gibbs, at Scranton stating the number desired: The mapfolders are attractively printed in colors on heavy paper stock. To make possible detailed showing of the route, the map is divided into two sections, one covering the territory from Chicago, the other covering the route from Chicago westward. “Judging from the heavy call for our map-folders", Mr. Gibbs said today, “there must be a record-volume of vacation travel under way this year. The call so far is fully fifty per cent ahead of the same time last summer. U. S. 6 Roosevelt Highway —one of the two single-numbered federal roads crossing the United States from east to west —gives the tourist a most convenient route from ocean to ocean, with hundreds of places of scenic and historic interest to visit enroute. The road is also notable in that it passes close to but not through the large cities, thereby avoiding congested trafficpassing, for illustration, just outside of both Chicago and Cleveland. The recent extension of the / road from Denver to the Pacific Coast has added greatly tn Its already heavy national use,”
