TWENTIETH CENTURY RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT Attorney Anthony Deahl of Goshen spoke to an audience of forty or fifty men at the M. E. church last Thursday night, on the subject of the 20th Century Religious Movement, and made it plain, that religious work is a man’s job; that the religion of today, if it accomplish anything of value, must be a „ practical kind; one to be lived, carried into your business and made a part of the business; that the worship of the dollar brought no real happiness, but when it was used to aid human life in right living it became a great factor for good, because the dollar, if honestly earned, represented human life and energy; that no man has the right to take dollars that he does not earn, and when he does so he is taking human life. The speaker showed the necessity of men getting into this movement and assist in saving human life, gathering up the fallen, and emulating the life of the lowly “Nazarene,” by going about doing good. Mr. Deahl’s personality and earnestness makes him a great power for good and we feel assured that every man present was much benefited by hearing the most able presentation of this great movement. There is now a class of about twenty-five men in this organization and, from the interest manifested, many more will be enrolled to - labor in this field, which, as mentioned by Mr. Deahl, is the only

labor that gives true happiness, that of helping your brother. It was shown that the Bible has proven its value by being sufficient for every period of time, and it is and will be able to meet all conditions in the future. Public Market a Failure. The city of South Bend recently established a public market as a means of reducing the “high cost of living” and, although the market has been open but a few months, the spirit of organized greed seems to have throttled the purpose for which the institution was founded. The market is open only to producers and it was the belief that the farmers and others would be glad to sell their products at reasonable prices when given space in the market, but it now appears that the producers have adopted the commercial spirit of the day and have organized to boost the prices. As a result the city officials in charge of the market have about decided that the plan is a failure and threaten to close the market. When you are shut in by the cozy fire these long evenings, have a box of fresh, pure chocolates for company, if you are done. If callers drop in, you’ll enjoy having these delicious sweets to pass around. Be sure they are stamped He-Mi-La, the assurance of purity. Notice—To members Lake View Post G. A. R. No. 246.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 30, 1911.

HENS EDOM ALL OVEBJHE SEALE The Lincoln League of Indiana will meet Monday, February 12th, Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, at Newcastle. After being informed of the death of an elder brother at Valparaizo, Edward Henderlong, 10 years old, fell dead. Physicians say the shock affected his heart. Government authorities claim that Chinamen are being smuggled into the United States from Canada, some of them coming into South Bend via the Grand Trunk. Lawrence Kenney, aged 17 years, accidentally shot and seriously wounded his cousin, Earl Harris, aged 10, while the boys were hunting near Wabash. Kenney did not see Harris when he raised his gun and fired. The fines of the Michigan City saloon men recently indicted for illegal selling will add SIO,OOO to the county treasury. Considering the big Sunday business done by the saloons on excursion days they probably still have some left. Otto Creviston of Marion, whose wife sued him for divorce and asked for $20,000, went on a tear at South Bend and in three weeks spent $2,300. He is believed to be insane. His wife upon his return to Marion, weakened and withdrew the suit.

C. A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction, has ruled that the driver of a conveyance hauling children to a centralized school, has full power to mainlain discipline among his passengers. If children are unruly, the driver is authorized to “make them walk.” Programs have been issued for the annual Memorial services of the Warsaw Elks, which will be held in the temple on the afternoon of Sunday, Dec. 3. Exalted Ruler Theodore Frazer will have charge of the services. Hon. Harry B. Darling of Laporte, has been engaged co deliver the memorial audress. Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the Indiana board of health, launched a campaign against the use of the “all-day” sucker by school children. Its use breeds germs and destroys digestive power, according to the secretary. The chewing of gum also meets the disapproval of the secretary, who says it destroys the facial lines. The interurban conductors on both the Winona and Northern Indiana fines have received strict orders not to haul intoxicated individuals. Three men were refused entrance to the 8:30 car at Goshen Saturday night, bound for Elkhart, and the conductor was obliged to call Officer Elliott of the Goshen force to assist him. The men walked about to sooer up and then took the 10:30 car fqr home. Before retiring for the night Mr Daniel Cope, of Ft. Wayne, read to his wife the full account of how William Walker had killed his wife and then dug a hole in the ground at the rear of their house and threw the body in it. Shortly after they had retired, Mrs. Cope remarked to her husband, ‘‘l wish you hadn’t

read that account of the Walker murder to me, 111 think of it all night.” During the bight Mrs. Cope took muriatic add and died. The mystery of the disappearance of all the books and records of the Akron postoffice which was robbed four weeks ago, was cleared last week when the missing articles were found under a shock of com fodder about three-quarters of a mile south of Akron. The find was made by a farmer boy who lifted over a portion of the shock while husking and, seeing the papers, pulled them all out intact. The com shock showed it had evidently been lately disturbed and the books were hardly damp enough to have been there long. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows of Indiana have just closed its semi-annual session and the report of Grand Secretary W. H. Leedy showed that during the first six months of this year the net gain in membership was 2,195, which made the total membership on June 30, 82,201. The total receipts of lodges during the last year were $404,737.85. and the total relief extended amounted to $332,193.41. After deducting indebtedness of $585,21291, the total net resources of the order in Indiana are $3,852,714.81. J. L. Harman of Elkhart, was chosen grand master, and S. O. Sharp of Indianapolis, was advanced to position of grand junior warden.

A Thanksgiving Problem. In what year was this newspaper established? It being established the first year of this Century, Easter being the same number of the Sunday of the year as the number of the date of the ponth, and if its circulation that year was the cube of the number of the date of the month of Easter Sunday; it kept increasing on Thanksgiving each year at the rate of 4 per cent; 80 per cent of its subscribers had sent it $1.50 for their subscription each year; it cost 70 per cent of that money to pay the expenses of publishing the paper; it cost the editor 80 per cent of those profits to pay for the living of his family, and he deposited the balance in the bank getting 3 per cent on it, how much money would he have in the bank this Thanksgiving? Ans., $4,257.48. —A. F. Griffith. Certainly the farmers will be thankful for the splendid weather we have had for the past few days, as it has given them an opportunity to resume their work in the carmg for their com that was left in the field when the cold weather put in its appearance. In this part of the county much of the corn was lying on the ground, having been blown by the tornado of a few weeks ago. Some of the farmers suffered considerable loss. Every housewife of experience in this vicinity knows that GERBELLE FLOUR is always reliable, always uniform and always reasonable in price, and that she can get better results on baking day than from any other brand. Ask your grocer for GERBELLE and if he does not have it, send his name to THE GOSHEN MILLING CO. Goshen, Ind

Enos Weaver, who purchased a 30-acre farm of S. L. Ketring last summer near Lake View, has traded it for a 38-acre farm five. miles west of New Paris. Mr. Weaver was formerly of that neighborhood and will feel at home when he gets back there. Scott Blanchard and Miss Dorotha Keiser, both of near Pierceton, were married at the M. E. parsonage in Warsaw Wednesday. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. G. Neal.

THE SPIRIT OINKSGIVIN6 We think, we read, and talk so, much about the Puritan Thanksgiving of the Pilgrim Fathers that, ’ almost unconsciously, we attribute . the origin of Thanksgiving to those sturdy pioneers. While it is true they were the first people on this continent to express in simplicity their gratitude for hardships overcome, and for an abundant harvest, by giving an Autumnal feast; the Spirit of Thanksgiving was born and Thanksgiving was celebrated even before Columbus made his famous voyage. There are no statistics from which to learn when the first Thanksgiving was celebrated. We imagine it dates back to the fall of man. Back through the vista of time we see Adam and Eve in their rustic hut reclining on cushioned seats of autumn leaves, eating from their rude stone table the first Thanksgiving dinner. They had been driven from the Garden of Eden. They had passed through many hardships. By the “sweat of their brow” they had reaped their harvest, had fought battles, had won victories. Now in simplicity with gratitude toward their Maker they eat their frugal meal. They celebrate the first Thanksgiving. What would we have to be thankful for did we live in a continuous Eden, with no battles to fight, no tasks to accomplish, no victories to win? There were no harvests in Eden. T -re were no wants, no battles, no victories. The Spirit of Thanksgiving is born in the times that try men’s souls. It grows to maturity when the responsibilities of life are manfully borne. It goes out alike to • those who make our burdens lighter and to those whose burdens we help to bear. It breathes a prayer to the Giver of good gifts. Let the Spirit of Thanksgiving live! It was the thankless spirit that drove our primitive parents from the Garden. The same spirit has driven many an Adam and Eve from the Eden of happiness. In these “Melancholy Days, the Gladdest of the Year, let the festal board be spread. Let the Thanksgiving Spirit be shown. Let it echo to the dying, dying song of the vine whose death has given the fruit that supplies the feast. Let its smile encourage the restless heart of youth, its contentment quiet the fears of middle age, its gentle hand touch the silver locks of age. Let the “Spirit of Thanksgiving” go out in tender affection from sons and daughters to fathers and mothers. Though separated by distance, though blessed by prosperity that makes father and mother want to for the little they can offer, though saddened by sin and dissipation that has written itself on the countenance, let every one whose parents still remain this side of the Great River help to make complete the family circle around this festal board. No peer will receive such royal welcome. Mother and father will look upon you with greater pride than though honored by the presence of the King or Queen. The best things will be saved for you, your favorite dish will be prepared. Your every want will receive attention. Reciprocate,

show father and mother the Thankful Spirit. Let the “Spirit of Thanksgiving” live! How One Farmer Manages. , The following shows how one ■ farmer handles the sales of his pro- i ducts and his method is well worth every farmer’s consideration. He says: “When I am ready to sell iny stuff, I insert a little advertisement in the local paper, telling the people I what I have to sell. If live stock, i how many head of each and when they will be ready to ship. The result has been that the buyers are right after me, and naturally I always get the highest price. “On the other hand, if I want to buy a cow, a steer, or horse, or a dozen of each, I insert a little ad that costs twenty-five or thirty cents, and instead of traveling over the country inquiring if my neighbors have this or that for sale, the newspapers do it for me at less expense; and vice versa, if I have any of these above mentioned animals to sell, I let my neighbor know by the same medium. In this way I save the time and expense of traveling aimlessly about and get a better selection to choose from when I wish to buy or the best market price when I wish to sell.” Consider this advertisement subject and we are sure that you will find you can apply it to your business to advantage.

GOING 01 WITH THEIB IMPROVEMENTS After further consideration of the situation and the possible needs of the Cement Company when work is resumed in March next or earlier, Mr. Reilly, the superintendent, is j instructed to carry forward the ! necessary construction work on the company’s new clay field in Van Buren township, so as to have this tract ready for spring operations. This action sets at rest the many idle rumors as to the future of the Syracuse plant. Os course the e.oployees and other friends of the company here and elsewhere, had no misgivings of the company’s purposes, but the idle tales set afloat were spread with such downright evil intent and malignity that possibly some good people were being misled by them, thus causing them needless worry and suspense. The Cement Company officers have a strong personal interest in the welfare of its men as well as interest in the business of making cement, and the future will see this exemplified in steps to promote the comfort of the several families and to lessen the cost of living. The problem is an important one as well as a large one and will take time and money to work it out successfully.
