Ask your grocer. Do you want to see the lifeblood running out of a business by government order? Ask your grocer. “Just ask your grocer about the 0P5.... “What do you th.nk about a condition in which a government agent can set prices on a nationwide basis, yet nc individual business can get in to him and ask for personal, local relief? “Do you realize that is- how the government, today, is running the nation’s grocery business? Do you realize that the OPS fixes grocery prices, but the grocer whose price is fixed,,,cannot com-, plain? “If he tries, he is told to go out and bring the w hole grocery business back with him to show that all are damaged. “If he doesn’t Eke what he gets, can he go tc the nearest judge and invoke the ordinary protection of the law? He cannot. He can be deprived of his property by OPS decree, but ordinary due process of self-c.efense is not permitted. In the whole USA there is just one 'emergency court of appeals’ open to him and that is hedged all around. “Your grocer is the victim of discrimination, prejudice and unfair employment practices, all exercised by the OPS. Do you care? Have you given it any thought? Do you realize what it all means ? “The cure for the evils of price control is repeal, flat out. Sen. Taft has properly described the OPS as nothing but a hangout for loafers and wasters who are living at the public’s expense without giving back anything in value. “Price control is a fraud on the public, and in the interest of common decency, must be ended. Now.” —Washington, D. 0., Times Herald. A BETTER PLACE TO SHOP It is axiomatic t..iat a successful retailer, small cr large, chain or independent, must devote much of his time to thinking about his customers—about what Mr. and Mrs. America like und don’t like, what they will buy and won’t

buy. The consumer, after all, is king—he can make or break any store by giving or denying his patronage. Os late, a reat many retailers have been giving increasing attention to ways and means of making their stores more attractive to the customers. This work is taking two forms. One is to get certain facts better known, and to offset such widely-held misconceptions that retail prices are unnecessarily high and that retail prices are exhorbitant. The second phase of the work lies in recognizing the fact that the importance of Employes to the success of every retail enterprise cannot be over-stated. The employes are the people who come in direct personal contact with the customers —and a rude, inefficient, or indifferent employe can drive armies of people right out the doors and down the street to another store. Moreover, employes are customers, too, and they are members of all kinds of far-reaching, influential groups. In many cases, store managements have awakened with a start to the unhappy fact that their employes are doing a poor job. In some cases, that is the fault of the employe himself — he may just be unfitted to retail duties. In other cases, it is the fault of management, which has failed to train and educate him properly. Today retailers throughout the country are concentrating on correcting this condition — in the interest of attracting consumers, and making their stores pleasanter places to shop in. GRASS ROOTS OPINION Coatesville, Pa., Record: “It’s no doubt tough for Congressmen to live in Washington, with taxes and prices what they are. Perhaps it was natural that they should vote some tax relief for themselves. But what about the folks back home who do not have $1'5,000, plus, jobs? How do the Congressmen believe the folks with three, four or five thousand dollars — before taxes — make ends meet? It is claimed by statisticians that each of us is now paying $4177 annually on Federal taxes alone. This means a total of $1,908 for a family of four! Does Congress look upon these people as deserving of relief from their tax burdens?” International Falls, Minn. Daily Journal: “Production per man is now five times what it was at the the beginning of the century. The reason,a ccording to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, liesin the increased use of machinery that speeds production. Such machinery requires capital investments and such investment can come ouly out of earnings.”

25 YEMS AGO JULY 2®, 1927 The 21% mile regatta course on Lake Wawasee will take its place among the acquatics sports of the middle west, July &0-31, with the first series of motor boat races under the auspices of the newly organized Wawasee Yacht Club. A special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held in the basement of the library for the purpose of interesting the hotel men at the lake in procuring conventions during the summer. The district passenger agent of the B. & O. railroad was present and states that the railroad company would cooperate in every way. None of the hotels at the lake are large enough to hold a good sized gathering at the height of the season, but arrangements could be made to hold the conventions in the Syracuse Community building, the hotels providing the other accommodations. Stephen Freeman was elected president of the Kosciusko County Banker’s Association at the annual banquet held at the O. D. Ervin hotel, Tippecanoe. Mrs. Mattie Crow Fick was hostess to the W. C. T. U. at the Crows Nest. Ninety-five were present from Syracuse and surrounding towns. Mrs. Elizabeth Stanley, state president, spoke. Mrs. Hayes of Silver Lake, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. O. G. Carr, this week. Mrs. Chas. Clark and daughter Margaret of Marion, are here visiting the former’s sister, Mrs. R. E. Thornburg. Mrs. Emory Strieby of this city and Mrs. James Waltz of Goshen, have returned home from an extended trip. Mr. and, Mrs. A. L. Miller and family returned home from Canton, Ohio after spending the week end in the home of their daughter, Mrs. Dale LeClare and husband. Contractor J. C. Abbott has just completed one of the most high priced and beautiful summer homes in Pickwick Park for Mr. Long of Chicago. More Girl Scouts Receive Badge Awards Girl Scouts Bea Bachman, Susan Klink, Pat Anglemeyer, Janet Lee Riley, Mary Ellen Hollenbaugh, and Nancy (jiark did clean-up duty at the Scout Cabin, Wednesday morning. Girl Scout Leader Mrs. Gerald Kline, coleader Mrs. Hubert Angelmeyer, finance chairman Mrs. Robert Clevenger, and committee chairman Mrs. Samuel Larson, were assistants. More badge awards, completing a recent list, are announced as follows: First Aid: Sharon Miner, Pat Anglemeyer, Jane Kroh, Janet Kitson, Mary Miner, Bea Bachman and Susan Klink. Architect badge hate been received by Mary Miner; Child Care by Susan Klink; Conservation by Pat Anglemeyer; Cat and Dog Care, Mary Miner; Cooking, Susan Klink, Bea Bachman, Mary Miner, Judy Kline and Eleanor Holloway; and Boating, by Sharon Miner, Jane Kroh, Janet Kitson, Susan Klink, Mary Miner, and Jane Nusbaum. Some of the girls have been working on learning bicycle safety, and how to take care of bicycles. According to the Girl Scouts of the United States Organizations annual report to Cong/ess, activities relating to homemaking were most popular in 19511/ In that field, ICMS,OOiO girls received proficiency badges in cooking. The next most popular field was Health and Safety, with 6'0,000 girls receiving First Aid badges. With the Badge award list of this week, and the former list published, it is felt that Syracuse Girl Scouts are definitely progressing. The Girl Scouts of the United States had a membership of 11,>77i9,'0i00, between the ages of seven and seventeen, in and World membership in Girl Scout Troops is about 3,0'0/0,01001 BIG RETURN ON ADV. I. B. Furman reports that less than one dollar spent this spring on a classified adv. in The Journal had netted him $475.0i0 l in return. The classified page of The Journal is read each week by some 3000' local and lake people. In our Friday edition in each of the past five weeks, we have carried more classified ads than all other county papers combined. There IS a reason!

Remodeled Lake Home Is Very Attractive Dozens of new homes have been completed this year in this area, and a modest estimate of redecorating — adding to, or other changes, to lake homes, in the vicinity, would be up in the hundreds. A vast turnover in lake lots and houses has been going forward — dozens of summer cottagers are becoming permanent residents, and many are progressing from small places to purchasing larger homes. The same thing occurs with boats. One starts with a cat boat, then to a Snipe, a Lightning, etc., a small motor to a larger and still larger, boats. C One of the many homes being done over is one owned by the Orrin Smith’s on Ogden Island, Wawasee, which is about finished. A 20 x 20 foot living room was added and is a decided asset. Twin studio couches done in black with strawberry trim and zebratone cushions in this room, complemented with figurine zebra based lamps with shades following a zebra theme —a pair of zebra pictures on wall — three piece sectional lime green seats — scarlet and gold thread love seat —ebony black coffee table and end tables — strawberry wundaweave cornices — drapes of forest green’ — with some lime green, chartreuse and poinsetta pretties — planter lamps—rattan occasional furniture — large Chinese plaque figurines — Iremewood ceiling knotty pine stained green, and lined with wood paneling (as are all the rooms), the foregoing living room making an all-purpose and comfortable place to relax and view Wawaeee activities, and also a quite adequate space to entertain. . The mster bedroom is done in mahogany, taffeta drapes and matching spread, brown ruftex carpet—ends of bedrooms are all wardrobe. Upstairs bedrooms have sand-blaster plywood doors toe losets, much Iremewood of Mexico import and there is an attractive sundeck above the living room, having outside steps. Floors are hardwood. Upstairs has baseboard radiation of forced hot water heat — one bedroom is done in red satin rose pattern spread and drapes — one in chartreuse. 'The breakfast room has a Ucornered shaped seating arrangement done in coral leather—aqua knotty pine walls, aqua-flowered drapes — cabana baskets and planter lamp on large rectangular rounded cornered table, making a delightful breakfast or snack spot. The dining room has a Hey-wood-Wakefield breakfront, and drop leaf table in wheat shade—-wunda-weave rugs are used throughout, reaching to the walls. One dining wall is of glass brick entirely. The kitchen is between the dining and breakfast rooms, and there are many shelves along the wall, and utility closets. A utility room has a washer and dryer, and work space sinks. The lake patio is 12 by 35 feet, is attractive with glass-topped white table—blue and white um-
