SYRACUSE 10 HAVE A HITCHING YARD Town Board Has Purchased The Land For That Purpose. That our city fathers are wide awake to needs of Syracuse is shown in their purchase of ground for public hitchracks and the doing away of the unsanitary and unsightly posts that grace our two principal thoroughfares. About an acre of ground has been purchased from the Ott mill yard, just off of east Main street of F. M. Ott. The price paid was S6OO. It is the intention to at once erect hitchin&racks around this plot. A watering trough will be placed in the center and an electric light will be installed that will illuminate the grounds at night. The hitchingracks located in front of the school house and also those alongside of Mitos grocery will be removed and the streets at these places will be leveled and kept so. Heretofore it was impossible to keep the highways clean at these points, odors arose on warm days that couldn’t by any ' stretch of the imagimation be called < refreshing. It is the intention of the board to allow a man to run a feed yard in connection, if he, in return, will agree to look after the grounds. This will prove a protection to the persons leaving their rigs there and will also .'be the means of keeping the ground in proper shape. Enters Goskuen Firm. James Waltz has purchased the interests of Chas. Noel in the firm of Noel Bros, auto garage, at Goshen. The name Noel Bros, will be retained. More capital will be added and the sale of Reo and Jackson automobiles will be actively pushed. Mrs. Waltz and children will also move to Goshen in the near future.

LET YOUR OATS DRY. In talking about the Oats crop, A. W. Strieby stated to the Journal that considerable ®f the oats would be unfit for market on account of being wet. He advised tearing the shocks apart and give the sun a chance to dry them out. It is better to let them rot in the sheaf than in the grainery. He was forced to refuse one load of oats Monday on account of its being wet. Where it is necessary to thresh at once, better seperate the wet sheafs from the dry while feeding the threshing machine, as it may as well be all wet as to be mixed. PliAfts For si.

NORTHERN INDIANA EDITOR’S_ASSOCIATION Gary Puts Forth Mighty Effort To Entertain Visitors To That City. A royal weleome was extended to the editors bv the citizens of Gary last Thursday and Friday on the occasion of the Northern Indiana Editorial Association meeting. Gary might be called the “City (ft Dreams” and they have a happy knack of making their dreams come true. One of the features of the trip was an automobile ride through the city. When one stops to remember Jhat six years ago Gary was nothing but a stretch of sandy waste, a good idea may be had of its phenomenal growth. And they haven’t quit growing yet either. Plans for a gigantic park and a mammoth sewer are under way. They think of nothing but improvements in that city and expence never seems to enter their calculations. On Friday morning two observation cars were coupled to a small engine and the editors and their wives were taken through the United Steel Corporation’s plant. The trip occupied abaut four hours and was extremely interesting from start to finish. We watched the progress of a steel rail from iron ore until completed in the finished product. We saw the biggest engine in the world, it has 66,000 horse power. The payroll of these mills is over $30,000 each day. A big banquet also helped to make the visit an enjoyable one and we can thank the citizens of Gary for one of the nicest trips we ever enjoyed. x
