JUST TALK Everyone, young or old, likes to have someone or thing to talk about every day. To us, one of the finest things we can think of to talk about is our own little town of Syracuse. Here is a subject that has great possibilities for any one of us, whether we are graduates of college, graduates of high school, or whether we have had no schooling whatever. We ail know how to talk. i Let’s mention the beauty, the location, the accomodations, the conveniences, size and environment, the quality of our citizens and business people, at every opportunity that comes our way. Let's tell every one we meet from out of town, about Syracuse; how it is fast becoming one of the best known towns of its size in the country. Tell about the kind of co-operation that is prominent among the business people and the citizens, show the beauty of the homes and business houses, the school, the churches, the scenery. Telling your friends about Syracuse will, in an indirect manner, help the business, and “what helps business helps you.” So, Jet’s talk about Syracuse to someone every day.

MATRIMONIAL TANGLE One of the strangest matrimonial mix-ups on record is reported from Pittsburgh. John Murphy and Frances Jones wanted to get married, but on account of Murphy’s extremely youthful appearance he feared to apply for a marriage license, so a friend named Lefflingwell volunteered to secure the coveted document in Murphy’s name, which was done. To complete his good turn, Leffingwell also went through the marriage ceremony with Miss Jones, representing himself to be Murphy, then turned the happy bride and wedding certificate over to Murphy and called it a day. Later on, meditating no doubt over his friend’s happiness, flngwell took unto himself a bride of his own, but their matrimonial bark soon went upon the rocks of
