RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS This community is to have a part in the Red Cross Christmas Seals campaign, which will open about December 1. At that time the new Red Cross Christmas Seals will be placed on sale here and an organization of people will have the sale in their charge. The state campaign will be managed by the Red Cross Christmas Seals Commission of Indiana, with headquarters at Indianapolis, and the money raised by the sale of seals will be used in Indiana to fight tuberculosis. Although few people realize it, nearly 5,000 die each year in this state with tuberculosis. The money raised in this campaign will go directly into a fund to be used in preventing this terrible loss of life. The seals sell at one cent each, and are of an attractive design. They depict a country home in midwinter, and carry a holiday greeting: “A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.”’ They are to be used on the backs of letters and packages during the month of December, and the colors are red and green. Last year 680,000 seals were sold. This year the campaign committee hopes to sell more than twice that number. The committee, which has its headquarters in room 246 in the Postoffice building at Indianapolis, is making arrangements with organizations in every community to sell these seals. They want to give every man, woman and child in Indiana an opportunity to help in the fight against tuberculosis by buying some of the seals. Those who are unable to buy them nearby can obtain them by addressing headquarters at Indianapolis and sending one cent for each seal. For Sale—One hard coal base burner. Joe Cory.

The Same Old Saloon. The new retail saloon, the reformed and regenerated saloon, has been open and on the job in Kokomo since the 17th of October. In seventeen days it has had ample time to belie all its promises of good conduct and convince any one who may have been inclined to listen to its pretense of reformation that it is no better than the saloon of former times. The evidence of its lawlessness is apparent to even the most casual observer. The army of drunks on the streets is the proof of its deplorable work. It is plainly within the truth to say that more drunken men have been seen upon the streets of Kokomo the past seventeen days than were seen during the entire period of no saloons. There are as yet only nine saloons doing business. Ten more are permitted under the law and it will not be long until the full numbe will be open and in operation. When the full number gets into action the results, bad as they are now, will be much worse, of course. The doming of winter under these will bring the havoc and devastation of the saloons into clearer prospective.—Kokomo Tribune.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 23, 1911.

TO ENLARGE FARMERS’ INSTITUTE WORK For several years there has been a steady growth in popularity and usefulness of the local or township Farmers’ Institute meeting, and in many instances the local meetings have rivaled, in both interest and numbers, the central meetings held at the county seats. So pronounced has been this development in some counties, that the central meeting has been abandoned. In recognition of this tendency to localize the Farmers’ Institute work at the outlying points in several coupties of the state, the recent Conference of Extension Workers, held at Purdue University, unanimously adopted the township or local association as the unit in the Farmers’ Institute work. This action of the Conference, vhich looks toward the holding of a Farmers’ Institute, annually, in each township of the state, is very timely, in view of the enactment of the Clore law by the last legislature. Under the generous provisions of this law, it will be possible to extend the Institute work into every township in the state, as soon as the necessary local organization therefor can be affected. The Department of Agriculture Extension of Purdue University, is ready and willing to undertake this larger work, but it regards the effective cooperation of active, permanent local Institute associations as essential to the success of the plan. Such local organization is therefore made a condition of extending the Institute work. The Agricultural Extension De '.lariment will furnish upon request, an approved form of constitution, suitable for adoption by the local Institute Association. The Department is also prepared to offer suggestions and advice that may be helpful in effecting such local organization. Such requests/should be addressed to the Superintendent of Extension Work, Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana. Bro. Groves Has a Dream. “For the benefit of our advertisers we want to say that all the farmers living in the vicinity of the Concord church southeast of Milford, and who formerly did their trading at Syracuse, are now coming to Milford, and without exception read the Milford Mail.” 1 The above clipping was taken ; from last week’s Milford Mail and ; our readers may draw their own ; conclusions concerning it If there ; are any of the people in the vicinity ; of Concord who were formerly in ; the habit of coming to Syracuse to ; do their trading who are now going ; to Milford to trade, we have not J missed them, and we must say ; there was a good representation I from that vicinity on our streets ; Saturday. ; We will admit, however, that ; there are a few who go to Milford ; at times to buy—not dry goods, but I of the “wet” variety. » : Second Number of Lecture Course I The second number of the lec- ’ ture course will be given at the I Opera House on Thursday evening, > November 30, by Mr. Charles HowI ard Plattenburg, a noted popular I lecturer.

ITHIRTEEN YEARS IN THE ; CEMENTJNDUSTRY HERE I Monday, the 20th inst., marked the thirteenth year of Mr. C. J. Reilly’s advent as superinteudem of, the Sandusky Portland Cement Co.’s plant at Syracuse, and thirteen years a resident of our town. Since that eventful day when the foundation for the power house was being laid, until the present, Mr. ' Reilly has been a prominent factor in the development of the Portland cement industry in. the United States; probably no other one person has contributed so much to the improved processes now in use in this country. To specify the many special changes, devices—mechanichal and chemical, which he hes introduced, would take much space and their significance not understood by the general reader, but all the changes have contributed to improving the quality and lessening the cost of manufacture. Not only the Sandusky Portland Cement Co. has been the beneficiary, but all the other manufacturers have profi ed by his genius, and consequently the whole body of cement users in :be country. It is’crihfidently hoped that v ith the resumption of work in Ge spring, that Mr. Reilly will be st the head of the reorganized so. ee, full of his wonted energy and of new ideas which will challenge the admiration of al! interested in cement making and will result in keeping the Medusa Brand in the fore front, as it has ever been. The Journal extends felicitations and hopes that the ensuing thirteen years will sing the superintendent of the Sandusky Portland iCemeht Company managing a whole seiies of plants turning out Medusa cement. Harry S. King Dead, Harry S. King, a prominent and wealthy business man of Wabash, died Sunday evening of diabetes, after an illness •of several weeks. Mr. King was 51 old and was quite well known here and about the lake, where he spent several weeks each year during the summer at his lake home. Mr. King was a brother of the Mr. King who, with his entire family and chauffeur, was instantly killed while crossing the Pennsylvania tracks in an automobile at Columbia City, en route to Lake Wawssee, a few years ago. Watchman at Crossing Killed. David Rutledge of New Haven, Ind., was instantly killed last Thursday evening by a fast train of the Wabash Railroad at the State street crossing, in that city, where he was employed as watchman. Mr. Rutledge was 60 years old and had been a watchman at this i crossing for two years. There were , no witnesses to the accident and no one knew how he happened to get in the way of the train, as he knew it was due at the time. Philip Bowser had an attack of , heart trouble while at the M. E. church Sunday evening. His par- , ents, Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Bowser, ■ were sent for and as they were , ready to leave for the church to at- ( te;:d the evening meeting when the messenger arrived, it was not long ( until they were at his side. His father at once administered medicine which soon revived him and he was taken home in a carriage. You needn’t hide the box away from the children if you take home , the He-*Mi-La brand of sweets. Pure confections will not hurt the youngest member of the family and if you are sure they bear the trade , mark He-Mi-La, there is no ques tion as to puiity and goodness.

FOUND DYING IN ROOM_AT WARSAW A dispatch from Warsaw on the 20th inst. to the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette states that Merlin Carlin, formerly manager for the Eagle Lake Ice Company,, was found in ! his room this morning in a dying condition. He passed away soon aftefward. The cause of death is believed to have been due to exposure. It was first reported to have been suicide, but there was nothing to indicate this. Charles A. Rigdon, who owns the building in which Carlin lodged, was called there at 10 o’clock Sunday night by a report that Carlin ' and two companions, Harry Hutton I and Joseph Hayward, were creating , a disturbance. Officer Earl Beebe { accompanied Mr. Rigdon to the I room and the three men were found : on the floor in a badly intoxicated ; condition. Mr. Carlin was unconscious at | that time, and Mr. Rigdon says he | urged the officer to call a doctor, expressing the belief that the man was dying. This morning when Mr. Rigdon wdht to learn Carlin’s* condition he found the d©or of the rooffi open and -the man lying on the floor unconscious. There was note in the room. Mr. Carlin, who was 45 years old, lost) a responsible position as manager for the Eagle Lake Ice Company about two years ago. He moved to South Bend, and while living there separated from his wife. She has made application for a divorce. He left two small children, and is survived by his parents, who in Sidney, and two brothers. Rig Stolen and Recovered 1 When Christian Darr, who lives on the Stringtown road, 2% miles west of Syracuse, went to his barn Friday morning he discovered that sometime during the night horse thieves had visited his barn and had taken with them one - of his horses, which was a good one, a new set of harness and a new g¥Early Friday morning three men entered through a w indow, the Bert Daysman building at Milford Jet., which is occupied by a restaurant and the Winona Interurban station, and made an attempt at blowing the safe. The noise awakened Mr. Daysman, who lives in the upper story of the building, and he frightened the burglars away. The charge of nitro glycerine was not sufficient to dislodge the doors of the strong safe. The supposition now is that the thieves had secured the rig previous to their attempt at blowing the safe to assist in making good their escape Mr. Darr immediately notified Sheriff Kintzell and started a search. On Saturday morning at about 9 o’cloch Mr. Darr received a telephqne message from Ligonier informing him that the horse was at the Null livery barn at that place. At about 6:45 o’clock Friday morning a lady saw three men tie the horse near the old brewery at Ligonier and run to catch a passenger train which left at 7 o’clock. The horse stood there in the cold and rain, uncovered, until about 9 o’clock, whrn the lady told Mr.‘ Null, the livery man, of the inci- ! dent, and he took the horse to his ■ barn. Mr. Darr brought the horse and buggy home Saturday afternoon, and although the horse had been driven hard, he was not injured in any way, and there was no damage done to the buggy. The horse was a black gelding with his mane cut off, and it is the opinion of some that the men took this horse so he could easily be identified. Do you take the Journal?

Found Dead in Woods. Monday’s Goshen Democrat gives j an accoiint of how a boy happened ‘ to discover a dead body while looking for a stick which he had shot j from his bow ata flying bird. Fred ; Runnels, son of Lot C. Runnells of South Bend, stumbled upon the : body of a dead man in Van Riper’s I ; woods at Terre Coupee, two miles 1 i east of New Carlisle, at 9 o’clock 1 Sunday morning. The man co 1 Id not be identified by the neighbois, and it is believed he was never be > fore seen in that vicinity. Coroner ' Martin’s investigation revealed that, the man had been dead for about I three months. The flesh was al most entirely decomposed and of his head there was little left but I the naked skull. • Indications were that the man : had seated himself on the ground [ and fired the shot through his tem- ' pie. The weapon dropped between j rhe feet of the body which was J found stretched on its back in full ■ length. j On his person were found 30 or !40 bullets, and but one chamber of the revolver was fired. This leads authorities to believe that the revolver was purchased for the distinct purpose of suicide. Among the articles on his body was $3.52 in currency, a small pearl-handled knife, a pair scissors, tweezers and a cheap watch. The body was taken to New Carlisle.

RALLY DAY ATM. E. CHURCH After the usual one hour for the Sunday School work and the study of the lesson, at the M. E. church Sunday morning, the service was continued until 12 o’clock by a ■ Rally Day program which consisted lof brief talks, but full of splendid thoughts, given by Mr. Marion Self and Rev A. L. Weaver. Dr. D. S. Hontz read an interesting and ini spiring account of how the largest i Sunday School in the world, which i is at Brazil, Indiana, grew fti numI bers from 228 to oyer 4,000, and of the wonderful work the school had done and the good they had accomplished. A special word of praise is due Miss Bernice Shannon, who gave a recitation in a very pleasing way, which showed marked ability in the young lady as an elocutionist. A violin solo by Mr. L. M. Zack, accompanied by Mr. R. K. Eldridge on the organ, was pleasing and greatly appreciated by all present. Songs by the choir, school and Mrs. Weaver’s class, were good and as the smaller ones always make good, their singing and speaking was excellent.
