When a Man is Not a Man. Several young men from New Paris spent Hallowe’en in Goshen. It happened that several young ladies living beyond New Paris returned on the same interurban car. One of the boys attempted to entertain the young ladies and start a conversation, and in doing so made him§etf obnoxious to a woman who was also on the car. The ladv requested him to mind his own business, but the youth became impertinent. As a result the woman, who turned out to be a physical culture director in a girl’s seminary in Chicago, gave the young man a thorough thrashing and he is reported to be unable to leave his bed.— Goshen News-Times. Would you bring a smile to the good wife’s face—a shout of joy from the children? Take home some He-Mi-La chocolates. You’ll enjoy them yourself. Be sure they are pure—See He-Mi-La on the box.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1911.

There Is No Time. One of the most valuable commodities in the market of the world is time. We all possess it. and either want more of it or yearn to get rid of what we have. Contin- ; ually the lament is going up everywhere, “There is no time”—for this, j that, or the other thing. When I am tempted to make : that remark (especially in regard to some little duty which my conscience is trying to sneak out of), I always think of what a college professor of mine said once, “You have all the time there is—twenty- ' four hours—-just as much as any- , body else.” Which, of course, is ' strictly true. And when you come to think what other people have ’ done with their odds and ends of seconds and minutes—learning languages, like Elihu Burritt, that clever blacksmith, or gaining a medal for proficiency along that same line, as a barber did in Italy not long a^i—When you reflect upon the fact that you have spent too much good time in idle chit-chat or snoozing in the hammock, then you look wistfully upon those hours which are gone forever. But it is not yet too late to make the most of those which are yet to come. Read, sew, model in clay, or engage in your own pet avocation whenever you have a few minutes to spare. It best not to spend too much time in dreaming—this is a world of action. One Greek scholar says that he read his New Testament through every once in a while merely by glancing at the Greek words as he passes to and fro while preparing for bed or breakfast. His mind has been well brought up, trained to work swiftly and efficiently, and is able to keep sternly to the work in hand. But I will venture the assertion that this man doesn’t bother much late novels, which seem to cause scatter-brains among a good many people. Indeed, I think really “there is no time” for much of the reading and talking that go on. What do they amount to, when all is said and done? Let’s do something that appears to make for our advantage, either now or at some time to come. So, if you have to peal the potatoes for dinner, have a sensible book near to glance at; or memorize a bit of verse that strikes your fancy; or try to recall something about Longfellow, whose birthday comes every February, and whose poetry is pretty generally known and admired. Right here let me say that your mind ought to be constantly occupied with something good—- “ Whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, and of good report, think on these things.” An idle mind gathers rust and dust; gets dirty and flabby and down-at-heel; and, what is more, the adversary of souls is sure to slate it for some underhand piece of work which he has ready. So you want to be beforehand, and give your mind a good lot of pleasant, profitable work to do. Yet, however busy you wish to be with your own toys at playtime, however much hard digging you must do while the daylight remains, still there is no excuse for the neglect of duties required by your relation to those with whom you live. You can shirk, of course, as a great

many do, but your conscience (which, I hope, is in exceedingly good health and takes an interest in your doings), will make you wmce, more or less, under its lash. As I said awhile ago, “You have all the time there is”—time to speak the gracious word and give the helping hand, before the night of rest and dreams drops down on all at last. —Western Christian Advocate. Triumphs of the Ain At the rate aviators are succeeding in the completion of the conquest of the air, there will be little left to learn by the time of the Pan-ama-California International Exposition in 1915. San Diego then will offer to the world, if the plans of Director-General Collier are carried out, a complete exemplification of the art of aviation from its inception. Col. Collier is himself an enthusiast on this subject, a member of the San Diego Aero Club, and one of the chief promoters of the sport. He has a firm ally in Glenn H. Curtiss, who has established his winter aviation school at San Diego. Curtiss has been made Commissioner of Aviation for the Exposition. He will not only superintend the gathering of the most complete collection of aerohautical apparatus ever got together, but he will make a special study of meterolog.cal conditions on the Coast, and will do all he can to further the success of the SIO,OOO flight from Panama to San Diego, scheduled to take place on the opening of the canal.

CULTIVATINB POTATOES IN THEJAHK PLACES A method of cultivating potatoes out of season, accidentally discovered by an English farmer, is described in the Technical World Magazine. The farmer who had left a pile of potatoes heaped in a ! dark shed, found that instead of ■ being decayed, as he expected, they , were each surrounded by small potatoes perfectly white. He began experimenting with more old potatoes. which he placed on some boards in a dark place. Small potatoes about the size of an English walnut, surrounded them. The best of them were selected and cooked t andywere found to be of flavor su-1 perior to “new potatoes” cultivated in the ordinary way. Specimens exhibited in the London Horticultural Exposition attracted much attention. Large, perfect potatoes, without the slightest particle of mold, the magazine says, should be selected. Potatoes grown the previous year are the best and they should be sorted a season in advance. Good crops can be obtained in a cellar, a cave or even a room from which the rays of light can be carefully excluded, for a* few rays cause the potatoes to send forth sprouts instead of the buds of small potatoes. Some dry vegetable mold sifted very fine should Be spread uniformly three or four inches deep over some boards. Tbe potatoes must be wiped clean with a wet sponge in order to remove the cryptogamic germs. Any sprouts should be carefully cut off- with pruning shears so as not to bruise the pc-, tato. The potatoes should be half buried in the vegetable mold, placed in tows about four inches apart. They should be examined occasionally to cut off any sprouts that may develop. Artificial light should be used in entering the dark place for the least ray of daylight causes the radicles to grow. In two or three weeks each potato will be covered with small white points, which a few days later are changed into rapidly growing potatoes. When these are of reasonable size they should be removed, leaving the old potatoes from which a lew weeks later a second crop may be gathered and there may even be a third as the budding continues until the old potato is exhausted leaving nothing but the skin. No afternoon tea, card party or the various social functions of the present season, will be quite complete without some confection selected from the He-Mi-La assortment. They’re pure and delicate as the dew of morning. Name protects them as to Quality. Mr. L. M. Zach wishes to announce that he will take on a limited number of pupils desiring to learn to play the violin, hence those wanting to avail themselves of this opportunity during the coming winter will please communicate with him for further information.

jWork Begun On Panama-Califor-nia Exposition Buildings. Washington, D. C. Nov. B.—Actual work has begun on the buildings for the Panama-California International Exposition at San Diego, in 1915. According to schedule, say advices from San Diego, workmen began construction Monday morning; i Nov. sth, on the Administration , building, plans for which, as sub- • mitted by Director of Works F. P. Allen, were formally accepted by the directors. Following this action the committee on buildings and grounds recommended that the executive board order work to proceed on the building without delay. Like all other buildings to be I erected for the Exposition, this will I be in the Mission Renaissance style. It will be situated on the left side of the axis of the ground plan, and at the east end of the bridge, near the California State building. There it will form a strong feature of the architectural composition at the entrance to the grounds. In it will be located all of the offices ot the Exposition and of the Division of Works, which are now located in a business building in San Diego. The Administration building will be ready, the director of works says, by April Ist.

W, C. T. U. Meeting. The Retta Jones Wawasee Union met October 26, at the home of Mrs. Floyd Launer, with a large attendance. After devotional exercises, Mrs. Mattie Fick, gave the Union quite an interesting talk as she b an enthusiastic temperance worker since her trip through Europe and seeing the necessity of the >rork. She says that in different parts of Europe the people don’t seem to know that water will quench the thirst. Two new members were added to the Union. Mrs. Mattie Fick aad Mrs. Rosa Crow. The meeting adjourned to meet at the home of Mrs. Josephine Woods November 9. After the meeting the ladies were invited to thexlining room where refreshments were served—oysters, pickles, doughnuts, and cocoa. The President’s Trip. Among politicians, the only aspect of the President’s trip across the country and back is the one that has to do with its effect on the voters of the country. Did he gain votes? is what they ask. Impartial scrutiny of the situation seems to result in the conviction that the President made friends everywhere. Whether the opposition to him in “insurgent” commu- ! nities has been overcome is a matter of doubt, but unquestionably it is a good thing for the President to show himself to the people he serves and to tell them what are his views on questions of large public policies. Louis Solt, proprietor of the Vawter Park Department Store, will I have an auction sale at his place of business tomorrow afternoon and evening, to dispose of his surplus . stock of merchandise to the high- ‘ est bidder.
