SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. 4, 1909.

Lincoln’s Birthday. Governor Marshall has issued a proolammation setting aside Friday, Feburary 12, as a special holiday in commemoration of Lincoln’s centennial anniversary. He further uiges this be the occasion upon which every right mined man should re-dedicate his life, his fortune and his sacred honor to the mamtainence of the divine principle upon which rests our republic the equality of all men before the law. Gov. Marshall claims the distinction of haviug sat upon Lincoln’s knee when a very small child, having been taken to heaa one of the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates by the elder Marshall. Mr. Marshall does not remember much of the meeting only that he liked the tall homely Lincoln better than his opponeet, Douglas. Senator-elect Benjamine F. Shively when he takes his seat as United States Senator will have the distinc tion of being the only democratic senator north of the Ohio river between the Atlantic ocean and the Rocky mountains. He will have plenty of company among the democratic senators from the south. The town board will allow $2 to any man who hauls the cart to fire and brings it back to fire house' A large hotel is being built at Oakwood park, a summer resort on Lake Wawasee, by the Evangelical Association. It is to be three stories high and to be made of cement blocks. The old betel on the hill is insufficient for the number of peop’le that come to this famous summer resort. The park is a beautiful place and with the new hotel it will induce more people to come. FEBRUARY TERM OF COURT IN SESSION The Februarv term of the Kosciusko circuit court opened on Monday morning with Judge F.E. Bowser on the bench. The morning w r as spent in calling the docket and making arrangements for setting the: dates for the trial of the causes this term. The petit jury has been calleci for Monday, February 15, and it is not likely that any cases of great importance will be befoa • tha* date. The grand jury has been called for February, 8. According to the law it is necessary that the grand jury meets at least once a year, and as that body has not been together for that of time it was necessary to call the grand jury during the February tearm of court It is not thought that any crime will be brought before the grand jury and the session will doubtless be a short one. The county infirmary and county jail will be inspected, as is the regular custom, and a report of the finding of the grand jury on the two public buildings made to court. The board of county commissioners convened in regular session on Monday morning. Commissioner E. S. Lash being absent at the opening session. The morning was devoted to hearing the remonstrators on the Erwin N. Cook ditch. Automobile Cheap. For Sale, a one cylinder Cadillac newly painted and all parts in good condition.

Corn Products. In the march of scientific progress the farmer has received a good sbart of the benefits. Corn has proven the most versatile of the farmer’s crops, yielding 100 separate and distinct products of great value to art and [science. Os these products, gluten meal is the most important. Gluten fesd is a mixture of gluten meal and fancy bran. Both of these products are highly concentratei: and the farmer can buy in one tc of either of these feeds as much flesh materiel as he can find in three tons of pure corn and at practically the same price that a single ton of the raw grain would cost. Prominent feeders throughout the west consider this discovery of greatest achievements m the history of cattle raising. Some of our farmers wonder why their sons have a desire to quit the farm, preferring town or city life. The cause is with the farmer himself. With the boy on the farm iti s perpetual toil in good weather. All through the busy season, and perpetual loneliness in bad weather and most of the winter season. The time when the farmer has is at the very time when they cannot get away from home on account of their isolation and bad roads. The. boy hungers for company and his heart revolts against this unendur able loneliness and to free himself from it, walks miles through the mud to spend an hour at the country store We are glad to note that in some sections Os the ootfntry the young people of both sexes have broken through these barriers and establishfarmer’s club and little societies of one sort or other. This should be encouraged and will prove a great tonic to keep young people on the farm and make life to them worth the living. shortldWsi NEWSJLEANINGS A serious accident ocoured last Tuesday when Charles Juday was returning ftom Goshen in his automobile.

He had a majority of 57 votes. Only two other democrats have at any time in the history of the state represented Steuben county, they being Clarke Powers, father of the present senator, who was elected in 1845, and Dr. George McConnell, who was elected in 1851. One of the most needed institutions Oj she present time but which this state has never had is an employment bureau, an effort is being made by J. L. Peets, state statistician to have the legislature empower his bureau to act in this capacity and states that one clerk could be given charge of this work and great good accomplished by bringing the unemployed and the employer together; At present there are numerous employment agencies, which in many cases are merely swindles, Farmers are rejoicing over the present supply of snow, and say it has been a great benefit to the growing wheat crop.

Reforms are Souont : ' DU GOWyNOWSpapOTS Country publishers ask that law irr re, gard to lega advertising be changed to benefit these really interested.

. The country editor, wh< serves his community from week .week .with a:i b s might a- d jvitb all unselfishness, is generally lo ked on as deserving of consul ra ion. It is not often that he asks or anything. He will whoop tl ings up with enthusiasm for his t< wn and country. He will work i ight and day without personal rewar I for the things that his people de nand so long as those things are v arranted proper and in line of prog ess. But seldom does he raise bis voice to suggest legislation or enac ment for his own benefit. The la v-makers have in this sessk a a bilT* which would tend to equalize and distribute legal advertising to the frequent Advantage of the ural publisher. The proposed legislation has first in mind the bettermei t of publication itself.
