The elevator itself, was a goodsized building, but old, and the loss is probably covered by insurance. Although the Ohio Hay & Grain Co. had some insurance, its protects ion is not sufficient to cover the loss. When the fire was first discover--ed, flames of unknown origin were raging in the baled straw department in the west end of the lower part of the elevator. It took only an hour to level the structure to the ground. Milford Junction has no fire fighting apparatus and no effort was made to stop the progress of the blaze in the elevator, such action being deemed useless. When a box car on the B. & O. sid-

ing took fire, it was saved by section men. Intense heat resulted from the burning building and a telephone pole 125 feet distant became ignited; Many people were awakened by the fire and gathered at tfee scene. An old sawmill, a very old building belonging to Zach Bartholomew and located in the north end of Leesburg, burned Friday at 8:30 o’clock. It is supposed the building was set on fire. Leesburg people made no effort to extinguish the blaze. A buggy, some lumber and a quantity of hay belonging to Mr. Bartholomew burned. There was no insurance.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA. THURSDAY. JUNE 23, 1910.

CHICAGO'S BIG SANE CELEBRATION

Chicago’s coming Sane fourth Celebration and United States Military Tournament has lately assumed proportions that command national interest. Aside from being the inaugural celebration whose purpose is to turn the flood of patriotic excitement on our national birthday into rational channel, the Military Tournament is attracting almost equal attention since it now develops that it will be far and away the largest ever staged by Uncle Sam for any city and will comprise a comprehensive exhibition of every branch of the regular army in action. Independence Day in Chicago will be inaugurated by a monster historical and patriotic pageant in the morning. Numerous floats will be shown illustrating momentous events in our word’s history and also the various race elements which have become a part and portion of our nation. This pageant or parade will in probability be the largest and most elaborate given in any city and many of the floats will require weeks of work in construction. Men and women appropriately costumed will, ride on the floats and every detail will be historically correct so that the parade will be a remarkable lesson in itself.

In the afternoon the crowds will wend their way to the lake front, where on a wide strip of ground fronting on the lake the opening exhibition of the military tournament will be given at 2:15. For weeks before the fourth, soldiers will be pouring into Chicago from all parts of the United States and s wyi immediately go into camp at Grant Tark? the locale of the Tournament. By the fourth several thousand soldiers will be encamped at Camp Dickinson (this is to be the name of the encampment in honor of the Secretary of War) and theiewill be a representation of each branch, infantry cavalry, artillery, signal corps, engineers, hospital corps and aviators. The orders issued from the War Department provide for the assembling of the following troops at the Camp:— Tenth Infantry, headquarters, band, twelve companies and machine gun platoon, from Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, Ind. Twenty-six Infantry, head-quar-ters, band, eight companies and machine gun platoon from Fort Wayne, Detroit, Mich.; four companies from Fort Brady, Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Twenty-seventy Infantry, headquarters, band, twelve companies and machine gun platoon from Fort Sheridan, 111. Twenty-eight Infantry, head-quar- ; tet, band, twelve companies and ; engine and generator from Fort ; Leavenworth, Kan. Fourth Cavalry, band and four ; troops from Fort Meade, S. D. Sixth Cavalry, headquarters, band ; twelve troops, machine gun platoon from Fort Des Moines, la. Fifteenth Cavalry, Third Squad- ; ron, four troops from Fort Sheridan, ; 111. Battery C. Fourth Field Artillery ; (mountain) from Fort D. A. Russell, ; Wyoming. Battery F. and band, Fifth Field ; Artillery from Fort Sheridan, 111. Battery A, Sixty Field Artillery ; from Fort Riley, Kansas. ; Company A, Signal Corps from ; .Fort Larvenworth, Kansas. ; Detachment of Signal Corps with J army aeroplane from Washington, : d.c. I Companies L and K, Engineer , Corps with pontoon train, bridge I building materials, field searchlight,

machine gun platoon from Fort Snelling Minneapolis, Minn. Company C. Hospital Corps from Fort Niagara, N. Y. Detachment of cooks and bakers from the school at Fort Riley. Some idea of the size of the encompment may be gained from this list. In the center of the camp will be erected an enormous arena 600 by 400 feet in which the two daily exhibitions will be given Grand stands and bleechers sufficient to accommodate 40,000 people will surround the areana. Os these seats, 30,000 will be free to the public and the remaining 10,000 will bereSarved for an admission charge. The enormous size of this arena which will permit a body of cavalry to charge at full gallop, will greatly enchance the exhibitions.

SYRACUSE BOY HAKES GOOD The following article is taken from the Menominee (Michigan) Evening Herald-Record and referes to our fellow townsman, Mr. Forest Kitson, who as professor of penmanship in the public schools of that city has proven himself to be a most capable instructor and a most valuable acquisition to the staff of teachers, in the Menominee schools. “In noticing the splendid showing in penmanship made by the pupils of the public schools of Menominee, credit should be given for this excellent work to F. S. Kitson, who for the past year has had charge of this department and who has introduced a new method known as the economy system. The value of penmanship to the pupils of the public schools cannot be too highly estimated, and the splendid standard of excellence which Mr. Kitson has established in his department on which the local schools may well be congratulated.

“In the maze of studies which the pupils of our public schools are called upon to pursue penmanship too often becomes a lost art, and many high school graduates have found themselves sadly handicapped when confronted by the practical necessity of making a living by their inability to write neatly and to make good figures. “There has, however of late years been a great deal of careful attention given in our public schools to the practical qualities of the education which our boys and girls are receiving and much improvement has been made in* this direction. In putting the penmanship department in the hands of an expert the Menominee school authorities dedemonstrate a tendency towards thoroughly practical methods of education, and this fact is duly apprecated by the public.

The Tournament will last ten days and two exhibitions will be given daily, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. A monster system of electric lightining will make the arena as bright as during the day at the evening performances. General Frederick D. Grant will personally command the encampment and review the troops from his box. The entertainment offered at the Tournament will be far more interesting than any circus or theatrical performance. Sham battles will, of course, be a feature and incidentally $5,000 worth of blank ammunition will be used so that the small boy will be well recompensed for the loss of his firecrackers and cap pistol in point of noise and excitement. Field and artillery in action will be an interesting sight and the speed and celerity with which the men get into action with machine guns will doubtless be the cause of much amazement. Perhaps the one feature which will interest the public more than anything else will be the feats of the Engineer Corps, particularly in the building of trestle and pontoon bridges. Daily a pontoon bridge of the sort used in warfare will be erected stretching from the shore to the break-water and the famous trestle bridge will also be erected and then the engineers will demonstrate their action in the event of being pursued by cavalry, blowing up the bridge to make their escape good. The famous “Monkey Drill” of the cavalry which excels in daring and skill anything ever seen in a circus ring will be shown and the manner in which a corps of Signal Men erect telegraph and wireless stations on the field will be demonstrated. The functions of the hospital corps will also be of considerable interest The infantry will contribute their share of exhibition work with a musical rifle drill which is executed without command and resembles the familiar gymnasium wand drill with the exception that rifles are used in lieu of wands. A good idea of the exhibition is afforded by the following program for July 4, the opening day:

None but the initiated know the accuracy required in a printing office, says an Exchange. The average reader who detects a mispelled woird or a letter upside down feels that his mission on earth is not accomplished until he has called the attention of the over-worked editor to the glaring defect. He does not notice the thousands and tens of thousands of letters that are in place, or the multitude of words correctly spelled, but his eagle eye is glued 6n the one that is out of place. So it is with our deeds. Man does a thousand good deeds and no attention is paid to them, but if he makespne mistake it is flashed all over the world. A lifetime may be spent in building up a reputation that may be wrecked in a moment. The world is a harsh critic, exacting to a fault. Water Kent Notice.

FARMERS SHOULD RAISE PUMPKINS Great Winter Feed For Milch Cows r The dairyman say the farmers are making a great mistake by rot planting ' pumpkins. The reason they are both health and milk producers. After the frost kills the grass in the fall the milch cows begin to lose in flesh, and the milk flow diminishes. At this point the pumpkin takes up the work and furnishes the cow with something that has gone from the grass and places the animal in a Condition to receive grain. The jump fro in frosted grass of which there is no substance to gain is too sudden, but the pumpkin puts in the missing link. Farmers tell us they cannot cultivate corn and pumpkins with a cultivator in the same field. This is true, two or three acres should be given wholly to the raising of pumpkins for the cows in fait or early winter.—Walcottville Herald.
