Tendered a Reception. An informal reception was held in the high school recitation room last Thursday evening in honor of one of our young men, James Brady, who posessed the courage, ambition and character to go forward in the educational world surmounting difficulties that were thrown in his path until on the 13th of June 1911, he graduated from Wabash College with high honors, carrying away with him the annual Baldwin Oratorical contest prize "of one hundred dollars. Quite a large representation of our citizens were present and the evening pleasantly and profitably spent. Syracuse has reasons to feel proud of this young man and his achievements, and several more who have made a splendid showing for a useful, uplifting helpful life, 'filling positions of responsibility, figuring in the common welfare of our community aud commonwealth, and for the promising young men and women whom we are sure will i win honors for themselves and: honors for our city.

ideals are high and after teaching for a year it is his intention to enter q law schdol and we will hear more from James in years to come. A Very Lucky Man. Roy Miles, a drygoods merchant at Milford lost his pocketbook last Saturdays, on a Winona car while enroute from Milford to Goshen. I The pocketbook contained currency, | diamonds and a certificate of deposit amounting in all to about S3OO. Julius C. Travis, an attorney at Laporte, found the pocketbooK and returned it to the owner but would not accept any of the liberal reward which Mr. Miles had offered for its recovery. You ca n/i ost always form a fa r opinion of a young man by noticing where he loafs. To congregate with the crowds of the store benches smoking pipes or cigarettes doesn’t add to the dignity nor the future hopes of the young man. Better pile up stones, tearthem down again, and repeat the process, than to form habits of idleness.

FARMER BOYS HEAD CORPORATIONS At a meeting of the Presidents [of t wenty of the nation’s largest | corporations held in New York, the other day it was a matter of comment that of those present, twelve of them were “farmer’s boys.” When the youngster at home on the farm gets the “blues” and fancies that there is no longer the chance that there used to be to rise above the monotony and dredgery of a tiller of the soil, he can think of those twelve captains of industry who started as he is starting and remember that when diey were boys there were times when they two imagined that it was a hopeless ambition to aspire to win their way to the front in the city. He wants to remember that the farm has evolved some of the world’s greatest men and some of its most conspicuously useful ones and with the increasing activities of the nation in all directions there is now, more than ever, room at the top for the man. In the contemplation of the stirring achievements of the farmer’s boy, past and present, if he has imagination and soul he will find helpful inspiration, when the day seems dark and the future full of gloom. Let him recollect —as the world surely does—that it was the farm that gave us Abraham Lincoln, one of the world’s most majestic figures; that gave us Andrew Jackson, Millard Fillmofe, the martyred Garfield, Horace Greely, Sir Isaac Newton and the brilliant Carlyle. It was a farmer’s boy —Eli Whitney, who invented Jthe cotton gin, which laid the foundation for the growth of the cotton industry, now ’worth $900,000,000 a year to the United States and a farmer’s boy—Elias Howe, who emancipated womanhood from the slavery of the needle by inventing the sewing machine. Long before Robert Fulton sailed his steamboat, the Clermont up the Hudson, John Fitch, the ingenious product of a Pennsylvania farm demonstrated that a boat could be propelled by steam by equipping a skiff with an engine and sailing his craft up the Delaware with its aid. Another brainy farmer’s boy, Oliver Evans, sometimes called the Watt of America, was the first to build and operate a locomotive in the United States. Cyrus McCormick, inventor of the reaper, the whir of which is heard ’round the earth, was the modest son of an ordinary Illinois farmer. The first machine to make tacks was the creation of a Massachuestts farm lad, Thomas Blanchard and the device that furnished the world with the modern screw was the work of a poor Vermont genius, Thomas Harvey, a quiet thoughtful farmer’s son. To the resourcefulness of an Ohio farm boy, Charles F. Brush who invented the dynamo, the world is indebted for its present day great industrial and power plants that give employment to millions of hands. Thomas A. Edison, most brilliant of the world’s inventors, sponsor for the electric light, the phonograph and a hundred other devises, was the son of a poor farm laborer. Patrick B. Delaney, inventor of the multiplex, the Delaney relay, the telepost automatic telegraph and a hundred other telegraph and cable improvements grew up on a New England farm. From a Wisconsin farm came C. L. Sholes, the inventor of .he typwriter, which revolutionized he business methods of the world. Where service is the only crelen'ial that commands recognition mil'a man’s ability must square

with his responsibility, the farmer’s boy who has harkened to the call of the big city will be found today in the front rank of the world’s useful workers in every large city on the face of the earth. For he makes good and the world needs him. j WAWSEE APPRECIATED AS A SUMMER RESORT The National Corporation Reporter contains the following article which we print to show our readers how our lake and it’s hotel accommodations are appreciated by people from the city.
