Crocker, correspond- ing secretary. Officers elected were R. E. Young, formerly of Cavalier, vice president; and Mrs. Crocker, corresponding sec- retary. Those chosen last year for a two-year term were Earl M. Crocker, president; James B. Halloran, form- erly of Bismarck, secretary, and Har- old W. Chorley, former Mandan resi- dent, treasurer. Organized a few years ago in Den- ver by Mr, and Mrs. Crocker, former Lisbon residents, for the purpose of promoting good-fellowship, the club has kept in touch with scores of peo- ple from this state who now make their homes in Colorado. Through their efforts more than 130 families have been located and they personally have visited a number of North Da- kotans who are patients at various senitariums in the vicinity of Denver. Following is a partial list of those who attended the picnic: Mr. and Mrs. Earl M. Crocker and sons, Lisbon; Miss Charlotte Nolting, Devils Lake; Miss Eleonora Veden, Valley City; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lundgren and daughter, Grafton; Victor Swanson, Hoople; Mr. and Mrs. Milo W.

Plymouth Listing Orders in Advance Detroit, Mich., Aug. 8.— Registra- tions of Chrysler Corporation's new Plymouth exceeded all other makes of cars registered in Wayne county, Michigan, during the month of July. This is the first time in recent years that retail sales of any automobile in the Detroit area have surpassed the sales of either Fords or Chevrolets in this county, which is recognized as the capital of the motor world. July registration figures compiled by the state License Bureau show that sales of Plymouths totaled 1,249 as against 1,063 Fords and 850 Chevro- lets. The Plymouth figures are for a little more than three weeks, inas- much as the new car was not an- nounced until July 6th. Commenting on these figures Wal- ter P. Chrysler said: “The fact that the new Plymouth took the leader- ship in July in the sales of all auto- mobiles in Wayne county, where au- tomobile values are subject to per- haps the most scrutinizing test in the world, indicate in our judgment the pubile’s response generally to the de- velopment of something really new in automobiles. It is evident from re- ports from other parts of the country in terms of actual sales and forward orders from Chrysler, Dodge and De Soto, dealers that Floating Power, the new principle of engine mounting embodied in this first vibrationless four which has ever been built, is meeting a long felt requirement on the part of the public for greater comfort than has heretofore been available in an automibile in the low- est price class. Not only has produc- tion for July exceeded our estimates for that month, but we are carrying into August more than 5,000 unfilled orders for July shipment.” $< _______. | At the Movies PARAMOUNT THEATRE ag Barbara Stanwyck, vividly remem- bered for her performance in “Illicit comes to the Paramount Theatre Monday as the star of “Night Nurse,” ‘Warner Bros. screen adapation of the sensational novel by Dora Marcy.
