Out of 5000 applicants, f1fty-fiye

construction, cast aluminium tub and
many other outstanding features was
chosen as the washday servant.
Not only the success of the adven-

careful methods of living. Cleanli-
ness keeps away disease, and so they

STRONG HOOVER
CLUB ORGANIZED
OVER ONE HUNDRED MEMBERS
SECURED TO DATE FOR THE
HOOVER CLUB ORGANIZED
MONDAY EVENING NEXT
MEETING ON MONDAY EVEN
ING.

With the demand for pledge cards
for admission to the Hoover Club
growing as it has in the past week,
the organization promises to become
one of the strongest in the smaller
cities of the state ny next Monday
when the next meeting will be held at
the Community Center at 7:30.
The meeting last Monday at which
the organization was perfected was
attended by over forty enthusiasts.
Talks were made by local Republicans
who told of conditions during the
Democratic administrations of 1893
and 1918. It was also decided to ask
the younger men in the party to get
behind the Hoover Club and Republi-
can ticket this year and allow the
older men who had participated in
campaigns for the past thirty and
more years to trail along and act as
assistants in case their help was need
ed. Officers for the Club were chosen
as follows:
President George Somero.
Vice PreSident-Melville Odgers.
Secretary and Treasurer G.
Bolitho.
All those present signed the pledge
cards in which they pledged them
selves to do all in their power to fur
Their the election of Herbert Hoover
for president. Each also took supply
of cards and have had them filled by
friends of the cause. We understand
that the club will number in the
neighborhood of $50 before the meet
ing next Monday.
Besides the men, there are some
thing like go or more signers to the
Women's Hoover Club so far and that
the ladies will give the men merry
chase for membership honors within
the next three weeks is a foregone
conclusion.

GR0SHEL
COMMITS SUICIDE

Laurence Groshel, in a fit of des-
pondency, at $50 Monday morning,
committed suicide by shooting himself
with 80 calibre government rifle.
1t seems that Groshel had grieved
since the death of his wife about a
year ago and has been growing con-
stantly worse up to Monday morning
when he committed the rash act. He
placed the muzzle of the gun under
his chin and kicked the trigger with
his toe. The entire top of his head
was severed from the body.
He is survived by a step-son, Joe
Jenko of Milwaukee; a sister, Mrs.
Frances Erzar in this city and an
other sister whose name was not
learned living in Wisconsin He has
been making his home with Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank .Zergaj and the shooting
was done in his room at the zergaj
home.
1t is rumored that only few hours
before the shooting, Groshel confded
to Zergaj that about seven years ago
he miStook Soudan boy, Matt
Stepan, for a deer while hunting and
shot him afterwards burying the body.
This also preyed on his mind. The
case will be remembered and at the
time attracted considerable atten-
ton. Large crews of men secured the
woods from Soudan to Mud Greek but
no trace of the missing boy could be
found The case was further recalled
short time ago when the courts
allowed the South Slavonic Catho-
lie Union to pay the insurance for the
missing boy. 1t is also stated that the
man in his confession indicated as
near as possible where he had buried
the body of young Stepan. While
search has been made for the remains
on the description furnished by the
suicide, no trace of the remains has
been found.
The funeral took place yesterday
afternoon from the Fenske Funeral
Parlor. The "Sokol" society of which
he was member attended the funeral
in a body.
