SYRACUSE’S OPPORTUNITIES. [contributed] It is hardly worth writing about the fine farming community which is tributary to Syracuse because that is constantly being demonstrated by the large volume of trade which insures to the advantage of our enterprising town from that source. For the same reason it is unnecessary to detail the many ad* vantages accruing to us from the Sandusky Portland Cement plant being located here; the increased population, the goodly pay-rolls which are of such value not only to the town but to the entire surroundcountry, to say nothing of the prestige to Syracuse from having such a plant in our midst. The chief object of this article, however, is to call attention to an ever growing, ever developing asset, not only io Syracuse, not only to Turkey Creek township, not only to Kosciusko county, but the whole state of Indiana as well as to adjacent states. This asset is embraced in the two beautiful lakes of Wawasee and Pappakeechie, the marvelous development of which is adding thousands of dollars to the value of lands; is furnishing labor plenty of occupation at good wages, and is of inestimable advantage to all of our merchants as well. This asset is going to be of increasing value as the years go by; people of means wfll be seeking just such resorts for their summer homes and such an asset must be nurtured, fostered and cared for in all possible ways by the community at large. How in part can this be accomplished: Everything must be done td render this asset attractive; no illegal fishing of any description by any one must be permitted. If illegal acts are perpetrated every endeavor should be used to send the perpetrators where they properly belong. By protecting property rights of the many against die lawa less acts of the few, this wonderful asset can be made more and more valuable; capita] can be induced to invest here if it feels secure in its property rights and the resultant benefit to the entire neighborhood wUf be secured.

Syracuse’s opportunities. We have tried in the preceding article to draw attention to one particular and growing asset of benefit to all of us. we now wish to enlist our readers’ interest in a grand opportunity the results of which by proper and prompt action may be secured to this community. The following is from the Indianapolis Star of April 27, 1912: Washigton. D. C., April 27, 1912. Indiana probably will secure an appropriation for a fish hatchery in the near future. This announcement, of interest to fishermen, was made today by Representative Barnhart of Indiana, after a two hours’ session of a subcommittee of the Committee on Merchant Marine Fisheries, at which he presented, apparently with telling effect, the arguments why a fish hatchery should be located in Indiana. It virtually was agreed that Indiana should receive $25,000 for a hatchery. It was pointed out by Barnhart that Indiana has 327 lakes which are prolific fish breeders. At present, he said, the little fish have to be brought so far to stock the lakes that many of them die. He predicted that with proper governmental care Indiana will become the paradise of fishermen. For such a fish hatchery as is spoken of there must be a main reservoir of water at a somewhat higher level than is the ground to be made into the fish-ponds below, the great difficulty being to find a locality exactly suited to the requirements. There is just such an ideal spot within a comparatively short distance of Syracuse, and if the U. S. Government could be assured of the full co-operation of the landholders whose property is contiguous to this “ideal spot,” it would be worth the combined interest of this and other adjacent counties to bring such a fish hatchery to this community. Such things, however, cannot be brought about by sitting down and waiting for them to happen; the property-holders must be seen; some one should go to Washington to represent them if they are desirous to p have their property increased in t value; it will be necessary to do t other things If success is to be . achieved. It means work. 1 The Journal is still SI.OO I If ■ ' ' ■ ‘

HABITS OF THE SEMINOLES Indiana of Florida Live In Open Houses—Calico Shirt and Derby Hat Their Costume. The Seminole Indians of Florida sit, eat and sleep on platforms raised about three feet from the ground under the roofs of their open houses. In each village the houses are so arranged as to leave an open space in the middle of the camp, and in the center of this is a cooking house. Here food is constantly kept on the fire, for there are no hard and fast meal hours. They go about dressed in native costume. The men wear, on ordinary occasions, merely a shirt of gayly colored calico. To this they add, whenever they can obtain one, a derby hat and new bandana handkerchiefs around neck. This is their ordinary dress. On gala occasions they wear a turban, made of a shawl held together by a band of hammered silver, and sport an aigrette or an ostrich feather, beautiful woven bead belts with symbolic designs, leggings tnd moccasins of buckskin and a gorgeous calico coat. The use of buckskin upper garments has long since oeen discontinued on account of the heat; the leggings and moccasins have survived, but are no longer worn about the camps, for they would soon become wet and useless. The women are more fully clad than the men. Their costume consists of a shirt and a sleeved cape of calico. About their necks they wear enormous masses of beads, from the strings of which they often hang silver coins. Many of the women wear brooches or bangles beaten from silver coins, by the native smiths. Like most Indians, the Seminoles do not ’.are for gold in any form. RATHER EXPECTED IT gr

Whether tiny working models of machinery are worth the labor they coat or not, such a collection of marvels as British amateurs have brought together in the London exhibition of engineering models is at least highly instructive. For the most part, such products seem to represent the diversion of persons engaged in employment very different from machine making. At this exhibition about one hundred entries were made by many varied trades—a working steam engine, small enough to stand on a threepenny piece, being one of the eight smallest engines made by three Scotch miners; a complete working model of the Mauretania, the work of a bricklayer of sixty-seven; and a little traction engine, including water tubes, toiler and superheater, the result of a Surrey gardener’s spare time efforts. CAPACITY FOR LABOR. « By actual tests two horses weighing 1,600 pounds each can pull 8,760 pounds, which is 550 pounds more than their combined weight. One elephant weighing 12,000 pounds can pull 8,750 pounds, which is 3,250 pounds less than its weight Fifty men, aggregating 7,500 pounds in weight, can pull 8,750 pounds, which is the score of the elephant It will be observed that the man also pull more than their own weight x • ■

MOST ACCURATE TIIS is the “show-me” Planter. It appeals to the nan who wants to be shown, because its many desirable points will near the closest examination* i Its good qualities are of a nature and number that speak for themselves. It is the boiled down essence of a good com planter construction. These statements might seem strong, 1 but after you have investigated the I planter itself, and talked with \1 your neighbor who has used one, you will agree that what we have said is merely a statement of plain I fact. When w® say this planter is accurate in drop, we mean real accuracy. When we say that it is light, strong and durable we mean it, because steel and malleable iron enter largely into its construction. There never was a planter put on the market that has met with the instant and lasting popularity of the Deere No. 9. There are more of these planters sold every year than any three other makes combined, and we sell more every I year.
