The death last week of Asdrew
Bauer, aged recluse, who has resid-
ed in the County Line community’
for the past twenty-five years
brought to light 'an. unusual story
of devotion to his adopted land as
evinced by Mr. Bauer in his last
■will and testament left in the hands
of his attorney, C. P. Engel king.
Mr. Bauer's estate consists of val-
uable farm land, cash, stocks and
bonds and is left to a sister or her
children who reside, in Germany,
his native land. A proviso contained
, in the -will asks that 'one or more
of the children of this sister come
to America to live and to become
American citizens. The County Line
farm is to be kept intact if possible
and he asks that meriibers of the
family come and live on' it and till
the soil-he loved so well. Mr. . Bauer <

—GAS—
AN YOU lucky brides of 1931 imagine what your kitchen
would have looked like if you had married in 1898, when
piost people didn’t have the advantages of natural gas
service’’ Let a try.
First, the uuarcracrive bulk oyer against the wall is your wood
stove. Since you have been married only two weeks, friend
husband is home early to help. Having brought in an armload '
of wood, he »s now industriously trying to start a fire while 1
fanning the smoke away with .his hew derby. Ih about thirty
minutes your stove should be hot enough to boil waqer, ’which
is conveniently near jn a big bucket with a handy dipper. Ice?
Why my dear, ice was a luxury in those days.

the automatically controlled oven. The oven’s insulated walls
have kept ah the heat inside, leaving the kitchen cool and

The automatic gas refrigerator has kept everything fresh and
