IDE MOMNA ' APPLE SHOW The first move for a big, modern, representative Indian Apple Show was made by the Indiana Horticultural Society about two years ago. Since that time the membership of the Society has increased rapidly, interest in fruit growing has developed remarkably and forces have been at work which have resulted in the greatest horticultural awakening in the histo-y of Indiana. The Indiana Apple has started on its march to the front 1 The state has every advantage of soil, climate, markets and transportation facilities to make it the great apple producing state of the middle west. This is not the opinion merely of a few enthusiasts, but is admitted by all horticultural authorities. It is proved by the experience for years past of successful Indiana apple growers, and is the sober con-

viction of all whose familiarity with the hoiticultural r<soirees of the state, make their judgment of any value. The great majority of Indiana fruit growers are wide awake and up-to-date. Insects and diseases are being controlled by Indiana orchards, by means of modern scientific appliances, with just as much success as they are being controlled anywhere. People everywhere are beginning to realize the financial opportunities offered by modern fruit growing. Last year one Indiana grower made a little over $1,200.00 per acre on a block of Grimes. He estimates about threequarters of this as net profit. Profits of from SIOO to S4OO per acre are not at all unusual, among the better apple growers of the state. >l'he quality of Indiana apples is second to none and, in the opinion of unprejudiced experts, is far superior to the quality of apples from some sections of the west and northwest. This is proved by the premiums for quality which Indiana ap-

SYRACUSE, INDIANA. THURSDAY. AUGUST 3, 1911

pies have won at the National and International shows during the past twenty-five years. The realization of the possibilities in the growing of good fruit here at home” is already beginning to spread. Desirable orchard lands are being looked for, large commercial orchards are being set and development companies are being formed to bring to the attention of the country at large, the unsurpassed product of our orchards. With this interest in fruit growing manifest in all parts of the country, the time is peculiarly appropriate for the holding of this first big Indiana Show. It is time for fruit growers to become better acquainted. It is time to take account of stock and to learn just what is being done so that we may improve more rapidly. It is time to show our friends and competitors just how much progress has already been made. The undeveloped orchard lands of Indiana constitute one of the most important natural resources of the state. Many communities are already producing excellent fruit and many more have ideal natural advantages for fruit growing which are unrealized. The Indiana Apple Show to be held next fall offers the best possible opportunity for enterprising communities to exhibit their fruit-growing resources and so improve the value of their own land and attract capital to develop their dormant possibilities. The fact should not be lost sight of that the forthcoming show is not merely a display of fruit (although it will doubtless be the best display of fruit ever seen in Indiana) but it is a state show, backed by the state authorities and standing for the development of Indiana fruit growing in all its phases. The purpose of this show is to help every fruit grower to help himself. The more good fruit grown in a locality, the better it is for each fruit grower. While it is desired to bring out a large exhibit of fruit to benefit the state as a whole, yet the several thousand dollars which will be offered in cash premiums will make it impossible for any one growing good fruit this season to afford to stay away. Especial attension will be given to the small orchardists. A large number of premiums will be offered (in cash) for small displays. Another class is provided for commercial growers who will wish to enter large quantities of fruit. Remember the date! Remember the premiums! Come to the show! Stive your fruit and make your plans NOW ! Next week we will publish the premium list. Kosciusko G. A, R. Reunion. There will be aG. A. R. county reunion at Winona, Monday, August 7, 1911. All of the old soldiers are urged to be present. The soldiers will first assemble at Warsaw, where free tickets to the grounds at Winona will be furnished them. Any one desiring further information, address Charles W. Scott, Warsaws Indiana. Mr. August Carlson was called to Fort Wayne Saturday, on account of the death of his brother, Oscar W. Carlson, who was a resident of that city. The remains were brought here Tuesday, and after the services, which were conducted by Rev. C A. Wright at the home of Con Quackenbush, interment was made in the cemetery here. The wife and children of the deceased expect to make tfieir future home in Colorado, where Mrs. Carlson’s relatives all live. Berniece, Winifred and Glenna Shannon left Friday for a visit of several weeks with their grandparents at Dunkirk, Ohio.

JOHN 1 KEIRINS DIES Death came to John A. Ketring, one of Chesterton’s prominent and well-known citizens, Sunday morning, Jiily 23, as the result of a year’s affliction with paralysis. The end was not unexpected and when death came he was surrounded by his family: the passing of life occurring as peacefully as though he had fallen into a quiet slumber. John Ketring was probably one of the best known citizens of this region, he having conducted a large business in real estate and insurance during the past few years. His specialty was farm lands and he was instrumental in getting many Chicago people to locate here and invest in Potter county farm land. Mr. Ketring was born in Syracuse, Indiana, and was aged 57 years, 3 months and 2 days. He located in Chesterton about fifteen years ago, first as a miller, and conducted the old mill on Valparaiso street. He afterwards sold this and for a time engaged in the hay and grain business, but gave this up and entered the real estate field. He leaves a wife and two daughters, Mrs. Don Van Liew and Miss Marie to mourn his death, besides a host of friends who knew and respected him. The funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon from the M. E church, in charge of the Knights of Pythias order, of which society he was a member. Rev. C. A. Brown, pastor of the church, conducted the services, which were largely attended.—Chesterton Tribune. But the Horse Came Back. Herschel Grimes, living east of Syracuse about sow miles, drove to town Saturday evening in a single buggy and tied his horse near the Church of God, on the hill. When he went for the horse to go home it was gone. After looking around town for the rig to no avail, he telephoned for his father, Jasper Grimes, to come for him in the automobile. After they were at home a short time the horse, too, came home yery warm from hard driving. Someone evidently made a drive with the horse and then liberated the beast for it to go home. Annual Picnic. The annual picnic at the county infirmary will occur on Thursday, August 10, at which time everybody in Kosciusko county is expected to be present. Bring your dinner and stay all day. An interesting program will be given. Supt. Rockhill cordially invites all to come and get acquainted with the place that may sooner or later become your permanent home. Will Entertain Beta Sigma. Misses Violette and Vera O’Dell will entertain the Beta Sigma society Wednesday evening, Aug. Bth. A full attendance is expected and a pleasant time is anticipated.

Gawthorp-Geyer. A very pretty wedding was quietly celebrated at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Geyer, about four miles west of Syracuse, Thursday evening at 8 o’clock, when their only daughter, Chloe M. Geyer, became the bride of Carl Gawthorp of Cody, Wyoming. Only members of the immediate families were present to witness the wedding ceremony. which was performed by Rev. Burnsworth, pastor of the Progressive Brethren church at Milford. The house was tastefully decorated with flowers and after the young couple were made man and wife a very elaborate supper was served. Mr. Gawthorp is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Egbert Gawihorp of Milford, and a brother of Mrs. Fred Self of this place, and is a prosperous clothing merchant at Cody. The bride is well known to many of our readers and is a splendid young lady and highly respected by all who know her. After spending a few days with friends here, they left Tuesday for their home in Wyoming. These worthy young people have the best wishes of their many friends for a happy married life. The following persons were present at the wedding: Parents of the bride and groom, Ardie Geyer and family, Amos Gawthorp, Jr. and family, Miss Elsie Dubbs, Fred Self wife and daughter, Louise, Lydia Neff, Rev. Burnsworth and wife. Will Fly Over Ligonier. The Ligonier Leader states that they have received a letter from the Rex Smith Aeroplane Company of Washington, D. C., regarding the proposed flight of Aviator Harry N. Atwood from New York to Chicago. The Smith company has written the leading paper in each city along the proposed route, which will closely follow the New York Central and Lake Shore railroads, and will include flights over and stops in such cities as will defray the expense of this extraordinary flight by raising a testimonial fund, by public subscription, to be used for Mr. Atwood’s benefit Jn negotiating this hazardous, epoch making journey. The company asks whether, it Mr. Atwood will fly through Ligonier and give a public exhibition at some amusement park at a definite scheduled time, will the citizens or Hoosier Club agree to raise $503. They state it will be necessary to have a substantial subscription guarantee from Ligonier citizens in order to have this city included in the schedule. The matter has been turned over to the Hoosier club of Ligonier for consideration. It is hardly thought possible, * however, that Ligonier would want to subscribe SSOO to Mr. Atwood’s company for the privilege of having the aviator fly over the city and make a few ‘figure B’s” in the neighborhood. Ligonier citizens will probably have to crane their necks to see the aviator pass by on the other side of the city. The Royal Neighbors held a special meeting Tuesday afternoon and initiated four new members—Mesdames Merritt Cole, H. W. Buchholz, Chas. Beery and George Wolfe. The lodge from Kimmell came down and gave the work. Lunch was served to both the Kimmell and Syracuse ladies at the home of Mrs. N. C. Isenberger. C. J. Reilly went to York, Penn., Sunday evening, to be gone until today. The S. P. C. Co. are putting up a power house at that place, where formerly they got their power from the city. Ed Holloway, who has been very sick for some time, is slowly improving.

DON’T FAIL TO HEAR f “AHASUERUS/’ AT WINONA What the public is saying is the greatest music hit ever presented to an audience at Winona, was given for the second time last Friday evening. It will be repeated every Friday evening until the end of the season. It is “Ahasuerus,” the new sacred opera, written by William Dodd Chenery, who wrote “Egypta,” the sacred opera that was given last year. There are 400 people in the cast for this play, and both Warsaw and Winona have been canvassed to find children and mature persons to take the juvenile and the important parts. Pretty drills are a part of the play. The king’s palace, the streets of Babylon, and other scenes from the Bible are faithfully reproduced in the scenery. In one of the acts a real live horse has a part in the play. He is a white horse and when in the trappings khown to the Oriental countries, he is a wonderfully beautiful animal. On him Mordecai, the Bible hero, rides upon the stage, and at the same time 300 children and all the soloists are on the stage, singing praises to Mordecai. The play is one of the most wonderful from every standpoint ever given at Winona. Warsaw Band Goes with Oddfellows The Odd Fellows of, Kosciusko county have selected the Warsaw City Band to head the procession in the parade at Indianapolis September 20, When the world’s convention of Odd Fellows will be in session. The first degree team of the Kosciusko lodge of Warsaw will take an orchestra and will compete for SI,OOO in prizes offered for the best drilled teams in the country. Tom J. Nye is captain of the team which has the reputation of being the best drilled of the teams in Indiana, Helen Hoy entertained one even-' ing last week in honor of her guest, I Isabelle Graf of Peru.

LAKE WAWASEE DROWING NODE POPULAR EACH YEAR Lake Wawasee is becoming qt ite a popular place for conventio s. Several years ago the State Dnggists’ Association met there: last year the Northern Indiana Editors’ Association, and this year they have had two, or rather have had one, the National Onion Convention, and will have another, the national convention of the Young People’s Alliance, besides the state convention of the L. O. T. M.’s and on Tuesday, Sept. 5, the Thirteenth District Medical Society will hold its semi-an-nual meeting at the Inn. They are hoping to make this one of the largest and best meetings in the history of the society. Addresses will be made by physicians from Fort Wayne and Indianapolis, but the members of the organization will fill the greater part of the program. The Inn was chosen as a place of meeting because it will afford an opportunity to combine recreation with study. Enjoyed Week’s Outing. The boys of the First English Lutheran Sunday school, who have been camping at Syracuse Lake for the past week, returned home yesterday evening. The boys had an enjoyable week, spending the time in fishing, boating and other diversions. Tuesday they caught 66 fish. The largest fish caught weighed 4 pounds and was landed by Mr. Swanberg and Rev. Smith. It was a fine bass. They feasted on fish and turtles, reveling in turtle soup to their hearts’ content. Some of the youngsters regarded it as the greatest treat" of their lives.—Goshen Democrat. •_ Receives Carnegie Medal. Charles B. Moon of Warsaw, has received the bronze medal which was awarded for bra\§ery shown when he attempted to rescue Wm. H. Funk and J. V. Godman from ; death in a lift well several years : ago. The award was made some j time ago by the Carnegie Hero commission and included SI,OOO in . money, which Mr. Moon received . several weeks ago. Mr. Carlson and family returned to their home at Chicago Thursday, after spending a three weeks’ vacation at the Ed Snavely cottage on Kale Island.
