PRICE SLASH.
BOOSTS S.A.
CAR SALES
Chevrolet's Refinements
Applied to Open and
Closed Lines. >"

Following closely the recent price re-
duction on Chevrolet closed cars comes
the announcement from w. S. Knud-
sen, president and general manager of
the Chevrolet Motor Company, that
the entire line of both open and closed
models has been improved by the adj
dition of numerous refinements, &C.
cording to the Smith Motor Sales Com
pany and Ormsby Chevrolet Company.
Included in the list of Improvements
are new and attractive headlights
which replace the former type. The5
are mounted on heavy tie-bar placed
between the front tenders. This ar
rangement affords better mounting for
the headlights and permits them to be
interchangeable, eliminating the neces-
sity for right and left-hand lamps. The
tie-bar also provides a convenient place
for carrying the front license plate.
NEW FEATURES.
The former steering wheel has been
supplanted by substantial walnut
wheel with notched finger-grips. The
center of the wheel spider is Of pol
ished aluminium.
An improved mounting for the spark
and throttle controls has been arranged
non the instrument panel.
The gear shift level has been length
eneN three inches. The horn formerly
used has been replaced by 4 motor
driven Klaxon horn. A heavier tie-rod
has ibeen placed between the radiator
and dash. Additional interior rein
forcements have been added to the
Harrison radiator Of rustless airplane
metal. Balloon tires are standard on
all closed models. Jndestructive Duco
finish is used on both open and closed
cars. The sedan is in aquamarine
blue and the coach and coupe in sage
green. The roadster and touring mod
els are finished in gun metal gray
Duco with stripping to match and ar
upholstered in gray, which blends
pleasingly with the body finish.
BETTER VALUE.
AChevrolet's unprecedented leap into
favor as the most popular gear-shift
car has brought production Of sales
to a record point, which enables us
to offer an even better value" said
Mr.. Knudsen, in commenting on the
lowered price of the closed cars. "Only
those refinements were adopted which
we found after exhaustive tests to be
Of practical value and increased utility
and in keeping with our policy Of build.

the North Andover Community Club
banqueted the boys and girls who took
part in the club work in that section
the past year AS it was stated by their
POSTMASTER, "they were banqueting

better club each year, increasing the
number of boys and girls taking part
in the various phases of club work.
Hats off to the North Andover Com
munity.--Co. Agent.

Old Lancaster Couple
Married FIFTY Years

Robert BROKER and wife quietly OBJ
served their 50th wedding anniversary
Monday, Feb. 2. Mr.. and Mrs. BROKER
were married in North Lancaster 5O
years ago Monday, the brides name
being Miss Isabella MCPHERSON, a
daughter OF old residents of this local
ity. The day of their marriage they
took a sleigh to Pra. du Chen where
they renamed four days before TAX
ing a train to Milwaukee as they were
snoWbound. February that year re-
manned a snowy and cold month
throughout.
Mr.. Brooker came to Lancaster with
his parents from England in 1856 and
has since made this city his home. His
wife is a native of this locality. They
have three children: Mrs. Bessie Chap
man, Mrs. Hugh Orion and Eugene.
ALI reside here.
Robert Brooker is one of Lancas-
ter's old business men, having con-
Quoted a wood working establishment
here for so years. He contracted build
ing work also and among other
achievements, completed the court
house after the contractor had failed.
Bob relates numerous stories OF p1-
oneer days. He says the winter OF
1856-1S57 was the coolest winter he
ever saw here. That year the snow lay
deep and the deer persisted by the hun
dreds because the animals tore their
legs so badly on the snow crust and
could go no further. Many deer herded
in with the stock.
The Lancaster vicinity is about as
heavily wooded now as then, Bob
says, as much of the prairie land has
been allowed to run into timber.
Mr.. and Mrs. BROKER are comfort
ably situated in their pleasant home
in the second ward and their many
friends wish them many happy years
of life ahead.

against the bank and the driver shak-
en- up. The man seemed to be lntox-

through a herd under custody is a vi

SEWER CASE
HAS INNING
BEFORE JUDGE
Fred Aupperle Sues City for
Alleged Pollution of
Upper Ice Pond.

The case of Fred Aupperle VS.. the
city of Lancaster was tried before
Judge Smalley Thursday and Friday
of last week R. d. Walker and Louis
Brunckhorst appeared for plaintiff and
R. M. Orchard and H. E. Carthew rep
resented the city. At the conclusion
of testimony Judge Smalley an
nounced that he would take the case
under advisement and render a deci-
sion later.
Mr.. Aupperle's Complaint.
Mr.. Aupperle's complaint set forth
the following:
Claims to be owner of two ice ponds
located above city septic tank on
Pigeon Creek Has operated same since
1916.
Claims city constructed manhole
alongline of sewer mains with over
flow pipes to allow excess sewage and
surface water to escape over surface
of ground into Pigeon Creek instead
of backing in easements, ETC., of peo-
pie on sewer.
Claims that manholes exist above
and below land of plaintiff.
Claims that one sewer main at Hick-
DRY street discharges raw sewage di-
rect into Pigeon Creek instead of fol-
lowing sewer lateral direct to septic
tank.
Claims that in 1922 and 1923 over
flow of sewage into creek contamin-
ated ponds.
Claims defendant threatens to con-
tinue nuisance and has neglected to
care for same.
Asks that overflow be declared pub
lie nuisance.
Asks $4,000 damages.
Asks that nuisance be abated.
Asks for such other and further re-
lief as he is entitled to.
Asks injunction against city from
permitting overflow of sewage, Great
ing public and private nuisance.
All allegations were denied by the
city.
Lengthy Testimony.
Testimony was taken from a num-
Der of witnesses Oh both sides and the
trial lasted two days.
Mr.. Aupperle owns and operates
two ponds at the foot of Cherry
street, Lancaster. The upper pond is
supplied with water from Pigeon
creek and it is that pond referred to
in the suit for damages. The water is
run in by erecting a temporary dam
in the creek and allowing the water to
flow into the pond through small
channel.
Plaintiff claims that in the years in
question he was forced to cut ice from
his lower pond which is fed by
springs, due to the upper pond be-
ing contaminated and unfit for use. In
effect he asked for the difference in
cost of storing the ice from the lower
pond instead of the upper, which
would amount to around $3.50, plus
cost of action.

The Sob Sisters.

Out in San Francisco a neurotic little
fiapper was admonished by her mother
for staying out all night with strange
men. The kid took her revenge by
shooting the old lady. In Jail she
weeps and says she wishes she had
MT.
A bad phase of life should be recog-
nized as such. Instead of treating the
matter in a sane manner, the sob sis
ter daily press rushes the girls story
(copyrighted) into print, giving her
advice to girls to learn a trade, be-
ware of automobile sheiks, etc, ad
nauseam.
To such depths has the daily press
sunk. Taking brainless little moron
and putting words into her mouth to
tickle the morbid taste of low class
of readers. The sob press is in a
class with the erotic sex movies and
that is the limit in degradation.
