Modern Woodmen Elect I At a recent meeting of the Mo-i-' ern Woodmen of America, after the ether business of the session had been disposed of, the society proceded with j the election of officers for the com i ing term. Those selected were as 'follows: Henry Feuterman, Counsel; ! Samuel Kroll, .Advisor; Fred Fleisch ; man. Banker; Henry Mollen, Escort; j John Box, Watchman; Donie Stark, Sentinel, and Henry Wendt trustee for three years. Provide Aid for People Frequently you have heard people say, and particularly a man explain ing to his wife why he hadn't made the cabinet or what-not she has been after him about repeatedly, "If I just had the tools. I d do it." Well, be lieve it or not, that much desired condition has been fulfilled. The Fed eral government has instituted a nicely equipped shop in the old hotel building where all who wish to do so can come and turn out the job. aided by tools, work benches and even an instructor who will assist in getting the work done just right. Sd now. wives, you can let your hus bands go there with assurance that the work will not be botched up in any way. Get after them, and see that they do those promised odd jobs now. Floyd Fellows will have charge of the place and will also assist the cmbyronic artisans who visit him in retting thoir work out in the man ner desired. This is not a place where work is turned out on a commercial basis, but rather where one may go and have access to the tools and equip ment, as well as worth-while advice from the director and pay only for the cost of the material used. Keep after thos? husbands, now, you wives. The opportunity is here to really barrel them. Good Times in Offing As an evidence that times are-getting better, there is much money just now being placed in government se curities, which speaks well for the immediate future, as men with vast experience and those on whom all may rely as to good judgment are now placing their money in govern ment securities, notwithstanding a great deal is said about the mount ing federal debt, which is now in the neighborhood of 3 4 billion dol lars. Still confidence continues and there have been numerous instances of Cass county capital being invested JJL Sanitary Protection Without Napkins or Belts For today's woman . . busy, modern, throwing off ancient shackles . . B-ettes were created. As efficient as ordinary napkins, yet so tiny that a day's supply can be carried in a handbag, B-ettes perform their function invisi bly and safely. Women ev erywhere agree that B-ettes are the most comfortable, the most convenient method ever in these lower-interest bearing securi ties because the money thus invested is not taxable and because it is con sidered absolutely safe. Only last week one staid and reliable finan cier placed $5,000 in government bonds to -hold, until maturity and not as a trading proposition. Home from Hospital Albert Kuntz, who has been in the Veterans hospital at Lincoln for a number of months receiving treat ment for an affection of his neck, was able to return home Monday as a result of the nice improvement he has been making. He was very well pleased to get back home again. Married for Fifteen Years On last Sunday at the country home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Buell there was celebrated the passing of their fifteenth wedding anniversary by a party of young people from the Methodist Bible school who went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Buell, where they made a merry time for therouple who have been such ar dent workers in the Bible school here.

Married 49 Years Ago Mr. and Mrs, William Hulfish ar rived at their 49th anniversary last Sunday, December Cth, just one short of the much feted golden wedding an niversary. Mr. Hulfish has been care taker of the Elmwood schools for mere than thirty years and has made a very good man for the job. It was on December 6, 1SS7, that he and Miss Loretta Gibson were united in marriage. The groom had a neat cottage furnished in Wabash, where he was living, for the bride, and after being married elsewhere, they came into Wabash on the even ing train. A crowd of the friends were secreted from view and watched the bridal party alight and procede to their new home. X.o sooner had they got there, how ever, than most of the populace of the then thriving town gathered to tender them one of those good old fashioned charivaris, making the old town echo with the din ar.d excite mcnt. As expected, the bride and grocm took the welcome as it was intended ar.d provided a nice treat for their well-wishers.

A very pleasant evening was spent together, recalling-the times enjoyed years ago, when they were all much younger. Best wishes were extended to Mr. and Mrs. Hulfish for many more pleasant anniversaries. A. E.
