GOVERNMENT SEIZES GRAIN IN TRANSIT According to the Toledo Daily Market Report the Agriculture department at Washington has recently seized, under the Pure Food Law, several cars of grain, as being misbranded. A committee representing nearly all the grain exchanges of the country had a hearing before Dr Wiley last Wednesday morning to ascertain the facts in regard io the seizures by the government, and vhat the attitude of the Department would be in the shipment of dl kinds of grain in interstate traffic. A very full discussion of the subject followed and Dr. Wiley said plainly that the department would not permit the buying or selling of badly damaged grain, coming under the meaning of the Pure Food Law. We quote from the law: “If it consists in whole or in part of filthy, decomposed or putrid vegetable substance, unfit for human or animal food in interstate traffic, it can only be sold to distillers or for export.” The Doctor was emphatic in the statement that sulphurized oats could not be sold under any condition. Answering the question “what will be done with the damaged grain grown?” he said it should be used by the farmers in the states where it is grown. This information was given in the Market Report at this early datt o that countiy shippers may be fully a Ivised, and govern themselves accordingly in buying grain from farmers. . Small Damage by Fire, Our citizens were excited and alarmed about eleven o’clock Monday forenoon by the ringing of the fire bell for fear wherever the fire was, there would be no water supply. The fire was at the home of Mr. Davis on Boston street where the case of scarlet fever had been. The stove pipe ran up though the floor and the fire caught somewhere in between the floors. Luckily the water main near their house had been thawed out on Saturday so the fire did not make much headway and the most of the damage done was from the water. Bills Not Allowed. Recently bills amounting to nearly $250 were filed against Kosciusko county by fish commissioners for destroying fish nets. The county council refused to make any appropriation with which to pay the bills, the law provides that the county commissioners may pay $5 each for all fish nets destroyed by the fish and game commissioner, but for years no bills for destroying nets had been filed. The refused bills dated back for a period of about seven years. Underwent Operation, Charley Dull, living about two miles east of the Dismal school house was taken to Elkhart hospi tai last Tuesday where he was operated on for appendicitis. Although he had not felt real well from Friday on, he was not sick until on Monday night when he became very bad. The appendix had already burst when the operation was performed and he was in a critical condition but now unless something else develops, they have hopes of bis recovery. Drs. Geyer end Geyer of Goshen. Osteopathic Physicans, will be in Syracuse at the home of Mrs. Landis, on Harrison street, Tuesday’s 7:30 a. m. to 12 o’clock noon. Consultation Free.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1912.

Birthday Surprise. The following was taken from the Ambia weekly paper. Rev. J. C. Bailey and wife were formerly residents of Syracuse. Pursuant to previous arrangements, secretly made, conjointly by the Ladies’ Aid of the U. B. church, the Missionary Society of the M. E. church, and a number of other friends, a complete surprise was perpetrated on Mrs. J. C. Bailey at he U. B. parsonage, Wednesday afternoon, January 24th, 1912. Mrs. Bailey was lured away by cunningly devised fables and in her absence the “folks” just took possession and were in high spirits when Mrs. Bailey returned about 2 o’clock. The surprise was complete, and we shall not attempt to describe just how it all was. Light refreshments were served, and Mrs. Bailey found on her plate an extra package which when opened disclosed a very substantial token of rememberance, to the amount of $12.75. Burial Difficulties. A dispatch from Valparaiso to the news columns of the press says: Local undertaking men are in a quandary as to what disposition to make of bodies of the dead. For the first time in forty years ground in the cemeteries is frozen to a depth that precludes all possibility of grave digging. Caskets are being stored in undertaking establishments. Practically all available space is now occupied and future deaths will create a serious problem for health authorities. One Half Price For Ladies Misses and Childrens Coats. I will sell any ladies, misses or childs coats my store at half price. I have a line of up to date, high grade coats in black and fancy woolens which have been so popular this season.

THE SYRACUSE PROGRESSIVEJSSOCIATION The Syracuse Progressive Asso ciation had its regular called meeting in the office of Butt & Xanders on Monday evening, the 12th. a good attendance being present. The various committees made reports. The poles on which the wires and lights are to be strung have been ordered and are expected to arrive in Syracuse within the next few days. The wires, lamps and other accessories will be ordered and it is hoped that it will be only a few days until actual work of construction will begin. A committee was appointed to have the construction work in charge and see that the work is all properly done. It was the sentiment of the meeting that all persons who possibly can, should lend their assistance gratis in the construction of the lighting system. There are many citizens of Syracuse who though not interested to the point of subscribing any set amount would gladly donate one day’s services or possibly two days’ services in the construction of the lighting system and help the good thing along. The committee on subscriptions reported that it had made excellent progress and with one or two exceptions the citizens of Syracuse were in hearty accord with the proposed lighting system. The next meeting of the Association is called for the 16th of this month, Friday evening, at 7:30 prompt, in the offices of Butt' & Xanders. All are earnestly requested to attend and show your interest by being present. »— -Notice'' ' We would like to take this means, of letting the general public know that if they have not been called upon for subscriptions toward the construction of the Channel lighting system that they may voluntarily subscribe for same by letting one of the undersigned committee know of their intention to do so. We would also like to state that the treasurer of the Syracuse Progressive Association will render a complete annual report of all receipts, from whom received and all disbursements and to whom disbursed, and the same will be published in the Syracuse Journal. A. W. Strieby T. A. Brainard Sam Searfoss Committee. Town Buys Thawing Machine The town councilmen have bought an electrical machine for thawing out water mains and pipes. The ma chine is capable of thawing out 1,300 feet of pipe from one setting and will be attached to hydrants and shut-off boxes. Never before in the history of Syracuse and many cities, has the frost penetrated to such remarkable depth as it has in the weeks of continued cold weather that we are experiencing now. The ground is' said to be frozen to the depth of five feet and seven inches. “Solid comfort” is easily described:—A hammock under the leafy boughs, an interesting story and a box of He-Mi-La confections; the assortment of chocolates or other dainty sweets to select from its unlimited, so is their purity. Concentrated effort only will bring success. Stand by the Progressive Association. Attend its meetings and voice your sentiments. Mrs. Chloe Stacker and two children spent several days last week < with her sister Mrs. Alonzo Stiver : and family.

Lewis Airgood. Lewis Airgood was born in Potts- , : ville, Pennsylvania, July 6, 1838.1 Came to Ohio when quite young and | o ily resided there a short time, when I the family moved to Noble county,' Indiana and settled near what is I now known as Wawasee. He was united in marriage with i Mary Wagoner, September 22,1857.' Five children came to bless their | home. The oldest died at the age of I 10 years. Those surviving are Mrs. j E. P. Erwin, Kendallville, Indiana; i Mrs. H. H. Rarick, Leiter’s Ford, | Indiana; Lucy C. Steward and J.

His real discharge from all earth- ■ ly service came very suddenly : nd ! unexpectedly, January 28 1912.; having passed his 73rd milestone in > the journey of life. At the age of 16 years, he gave I his heart to God and united with the ' “Beyer’s Class” of the Evangelical ] Association, and later, transferred j his membership to the ‘Mizpah’’; congregation in South Bend, and was identified with the church at the time of his death, although- not j

Airgood of Servia, Indiana; one sister Mrs. Catharine Morningstas of South Bend; four grandchildren and one . great grandchild. Boyish Prank Almost Fatal. The prank of a dozen small boys, ranging in age from 10 to 12 years, came near causing the death of Jack Amstutz, a well known citizen of XWaterloo, occupying bachelor apartments here, Saturday night, and as [ a result, a club maintained by the youngsters in secret is to be broken i up by the authorities. Following one of their regular i meetings, the youngsters gained ac- , cess to Amstutz’s rooms during his i absence and saturated the furhishi ings with formaldehyde. When Amstutz returned he retired at once, i but the fumes of the powerful dis- ! iufec-.r.nt soon strangled him and he ' had just strength enough lift to fight his way to the open air when he was i overcome and for a time, was in a | serious condition. The boys have been holding secret ' club meetings for a long time, and it is said they have evolved a number of practical jokes in the pa t that have had very serious consequences. Future club sessions are the ban—Journal Gazette.
