What methods can e use to stimulate our prosperity? ’as it not occurred to you that we -e more fortunately situated, in re ard to natural advantages, than , ay town in Northern Indiana? Does not seem that there is something iming to us that we have so far lissed? The solution of the probm seems to be, better transporta - on facilities. The B. & 0. probaly is not justified in giving us any etter train service for the volume < f business we furnish. It is too expensive to run trains, what we eed is cars—an interurban line that will connect us with the outride world. Look at the cities along the Lake Shore; they were not satisfied with trains. They secured car service. Compare the Lake Shore cities such as South Bend, Elkhart, Goshen, and Kendallville, with B. & ('. towns like Walkerton, Bremen, appanee, Syracuse, and Albion, oes it not strike you that it is more ? «.an a coincidence that the former, □re prosperous towns are connectd to the the surrounding country 7 interurbans? We venture to say iat there is not a property in the tter named towns that will sell for hat the buildings on it cost. Look >r the reason. Stare the thing in Ile face. We have 1 the cement irks and the foundry, and the lake, staple, .progressive institutions. hat are we going to do to keep ce with them? Syracuse is ssed with all modern convenienc 'S, but of what use are thev if peo- ; .e can not get to our town to enjoy t iem? If we expect to advance in le next few years we must subject • ir condition to a critical examinaion; find the trouble and then remAJy it If we can ever push our □pulation to the three thousand iark things will be easy sailing, low are we going to do it? Syracuse Has a number of Wom- • n’s Clubs that combined could do onderful work in the beautifying <_f the town we live in. A federaon of the Shakespeare Club, Wedesday Afternoon Club, Monday ridge Club, Needlecraft Society and ny other that we may not happen .0 recall just now, colild be formed ith the object in view of making c ir little city a veritable flower gar < on. The race banks could be im•oved, unsightly signs torn down round town, rubbage cleaned from vacant lots, in fact the town could be practically made over into a park. ’’ e don’t mean that the ladies s iouM bear the expense and do the . ork. What we mean is that they ■iouW agitate this matter and make the male population take it up. It ? ould be a laudable accomplishment which our ladies could point to with ■'•ide. Think what it would be to s iow visitors a beautiful Syracuse instead of having to escort them di* ’ Ctly to the lake, as our one and c i’y pretension to beauty. The Graduating class of ’l3 have . iected a class motto that contains more truth than is usually crowded

j into four words. “Not finished, but begun” is»peculiarly appropriate to the finishing of school work inasI much as the school is only a preparation for the stern realities of adult life. The ultimate value to the student, of the years spent in study, will depend mainly upon the student himself. If he has energy, ambition, and a little ability, there will be no need to fear for his future —it is assured. We can safely say that the Syracuse Schools have never turned out a brighter nor better equipped class than the thirteen young men and young women who will receive their diplomas next week. But they will need ail their knowledge to wrest success from life, and ten years from now they will understand, far better, the meaning of their excellent motto, “Not fin ished, but begun.” This Issue concludes the sixth year of the Journal’s existence and the first year under the present ownership. We know very little regarding the paper before our advent as publisher, but we are grateful to the people of Syracuse for the patronage they have given us the past year. We are striving towards better service to our readers and to the Journal advertisers—we want to make the paper indispensable to both. Since we have come to Syracuse we have added nearly seventyfive new subscribers and we hope to do better in the coming year. Our little city with its natural advantages must progress and we will lend our full assistance to its advancement. Let it percolate through your mind that the Journal is your paper, published fj»r your interests, and then lend us your support in all possible ways. The sincerity of a man’s religion may be easily measured at this time of year by the way he acts when on coming home he finds the neighbors’ chickens have scratched out his carefully cultivated garden. Many Are the disparaging remarks aimed at the “quitter”, but to our mind the man who has never begun is more to be criticised.

There Is One thing that can be said of the ladies’ hats this summer: They might be worse. Phoebe Bunger Dead. Phoebe, widow of Samuel Bunger, deceased, of this place, died at her home on South Main street, Monday, April 21, 1913, after an illness of three months, aged 82 years, 11 months and three days, and will be buried in the Solomon’s Creek cemetery on Thursday, April 24. Funeral service will be held in the United Brethern church at this place. Mrs. Bunger. who was Phoebe Kitson, was born in Canada, May 18, 1830. In her girlhood she came to Indiana with her parents who set tied in Elkhart county. There she was married to Samuel Bunger in 1849. Ten years ago they moved to’ Syracuse where Mr. Bunger died about eight years ago. To this union was born nine children, three sons having preceded them into the spiritual home. She is survived by six children, Franklin, Simon of Cromwell; Charles, of South Bend; Mrs. Adam Darr, Mrs. David Oct, Mrs. Milton Rentfrow, twenty-one grand - children, thirty - one great grand children, one brother and two sisters. She was a faithful member and an active worker in the U. B. chutch for many years and was ever a kind neighbor and a warm hearted friend who was held in high esteem by ail who knew her. Sister Bunger was indeed a great sufferer but she bore her afflictions with patience until the last, never complaining and every thing that could be done for her by her children was done.

PREPARED FOR BIG CROWDS South Bend’s Preparation for Evangelist Billy Sunday an Enormous Task. South Bend, April 21.—South Bend is upon the eve of one of the greatest religious movements that it has ever experienced. The Christian people of this city and Mishawaka have undertaken the most stupendous task in the religious history of St. Joseph county. The work of preparation which has been in progress for the past two months does not compare with the activity of the coming seven weeks wii’en. the baseball evangelist, William Ashley Sunday, will hold his meetings in the gigantic tabernacle that has been erected on Vistula avenue. between Monroe and South streets. . Many do not realize the magnitude of the undertaking that is before the people of South Bend. Meetings will be held morning, noon and night, both in the tabernacle and in many otjier places. Precedent has shown that • Billy Sunday attracts gigantic crowds, many times the tabernacle being too small to hold the people who come to hear his thrilling sermons. Although Sunday will not be here unkil one week from today, the people of South Bend have been wording for many weeks upon plans for the coming revival. Dozens of committees have been appointed to care for the different phases of the work and now their work of preparation is almost completed, part of it finished. The large tablernacle, which will seat 16,000 persons, is ready Tor occupancy, having been decorated, and all but the minor details being completed. Places have been arranged for the seating of one of the largest musical organizations ever assembled in this city, a chorus of more than 1,000 voices, which will be present at all the regular meetings of the evangelist. The tabernacle is spacious, the seats are comfortable and arrangements have been made for good ventilation. The “sawdust trail” is a reality, as wood shavings have been spread in every part of the tabernacle making a stoft, thick carpet. The building will be well lighted, arc lamps and large lights being placed all over the structure. The acoustics of the build-' ing are much better than w'ould be expected and the speakers can be distinctly heard from the platform.-in any part of the tabernacle. INDIANA NEWS IN BRIEF.
