SCHOOL CLOSED LORTHE SUMMER Exercises Os Friday Evening Mark Ending Os School Year The address of Rev. Joshua Stansfield, last Friday evening, ended the school life of thirteen of our young people. On Thursday afternooifthe ClassDay exercises were held. Our limited space makes it impossible to give each of the participants in the program individual notice, but the essays were good and were of a nature to be interesting to everyone. They showed a close consideration of the subjects by the graduuates and everyone was well recieved. The vocal and instrumental music revealed considerable talent and the numbers rendered were very fine. Many compliments Vere given to the Sack Orchestra of Ligonier, that played at the Graduation Exercises on Friday evening. Rev. L. E. Eaton invoked the blessing upon the assembled audience, graduates and faculty in a short but impressive prayer and after another selection by the orchestra, Rev. Stansfield of Indianapolis, made his address, “The Ideal and The Actual.” Rev Stansfield had an inimitable delivery, which coupled with a talk filled with logical statements and believable assertions, made his ad - dress an enjoyable one. He said that one reason for the superiority that our country shows over other nations is the excellence of our public schools. The graduates of our schools represent the best class of our young life. The schollar who has the ability and energy to complete our course of public instruction is essentially a good citizen and one to whom we can look to take his part in building up our communitv. Another point he brought out was the way something that should not be loomed up before everything else. He gave as an illustration the parade of a hundred men down our street. If all were erect of bearing except one, who perhaps had one leg shorter than the other, the one with the imperfection would be the most noticeable. And so it is with anything not right. The little wrong will show up way in advance of all right. Prof. C. C. Bachman, in his presentation of diplomas, impressed upon the minds of the graduates

that personal gain was not the only thing to be considered. The welfare of the community and the people should be considered and assisstance rendered, wherever possible, to enlarge the community’s interests. It was a very good piece of advice and if followed will do much to bring our town to the fore. After the presentation of diplomas and'another selection by the orchestra, Rev. L E. Eaton pronounced the benediction. Immediately after the Graduation Exercises the Alumni Banquet was held at the school house and a very good time was had there listening to the reports of former classes, and to the music. Destroyed About 200 Letters The mail sack that was to go on No. 14, last Thursday night/was thrown under the wheels of the train and about 200 letters destroyed. The sack contained Postmaster Miller’s monthly reports, including the money orders and postal savings’ certificates and this makes it a serious loss in addition to causing Mr. Miller a large amount of extra work in making out new reports. Considerable Taken When Mrs. Frederick Boland arrived to take charge of the Lake View Hotel last week, she found that quite a few things had been stolen during the past winter. All of the row boats are gone and about 200 pounds of sugar and a quantity of linen is missing. It is a pity that the guilty parties cannot be brought to justice.

JUSTICE COURT ACIIVE_ SATURDAY Three Convictions By Justice Kitson And One By Justice Howard The wheels of justice ground very busily last Saturday and the aggregate amount of fines and costs collected was $83.35. The game wardens have known for some time that illegal fishing was being done ou the adjacent lakes but no specific charge could be found until Friday when affidavits were sworn out for the arrest of Frank Wogoman and Emmet Kelly, who were seen using a net on Sunday evening, April 13th, about six o’clock. Game Warden John E. Rigney made the arrests and the trials were held in Justice Kitson’s court Saturday, convictions being r"ade on the charges of fishing with a net. Wogaman was assessed $24.75 and Kelly, $19.80. They were also charged with having a net in their possession but this charge was not pushed when they brought the net in to be burned. Mr. Rigney and Assisstant Warden Emanuel Click also took Floyd Grey and Chas. Lung into custody on the charge of selling fish on May 2nd. Grey, who is a minor, was brought in first and afterwards a search warrant was secured and a trip made to the Lung farm where a net was found in the chicken coop and confiscated. Grey was dismissed on account of his age and Lung was relieved of $21.50. Other charges are pending against some of the above men but these will not be pushed as long as they stay within the bounds of the law. The prosecution for the state was conducted by Butt & Xanders. On Friday evening an affidavit was sworn out against Dan. R. Wolfe, charging him with using profane language on the street. The trial was heard in Justice Howard’s court Saturday and he was fined $17.30. In Honor Os Miss Doll Among the social events of last week a six o’clock ’dinner given in honor of Miss Louisa Doll, Wednesday evening at the home of Miss Georgia Whisler, holds a noteworthy place. The house was a perfect fairy bower of blossoms. Each room was filled with cherry, pear, apple, plum and peach blossoms in abundant and beautiful profusion. These with the huge vases of violets and narcissus shed a delightful aroma throughout the rooms. On the stroke of six the guests were ushered into the dining room which seemed like a piece cut from childhood’s memory of fairyland. The walls and draperies were a mass of blossoms and the table with its huge centerpiece of large pink la France rose with rose favors, it seemed should have been laden with nectar and ambrosia. But our hostess rightly reckoned an appetite of men, not God’s, and served a delicious four-course dinner. After toasts and usual ceremonies the guests repaired to the reception room where a pleasant hour was spent in music and conversation. The guests then departed for their respective homes.

The dry majority at the last election was 19. stakihglTrsh BEDSJTOMPLETED Be Careful Where You Fish Lest You Get Into Trouble State Game Warden John Rigney with the assistance of Henry Sloan and Chas. Davisson, using E. C. Rossens boat, have completed the staking off of the breeding grounds reserved by the state under the recent law. On Syracuse Lake the stakes commence east of the railroad bridge about hallway between Buck Island and the ‘ Sods” and extend around to the shore line beyond the tamarack. South of the railroad bridge the stakes follow the electric light poles around to Miles’ Bridge. At Conklin Hill the signs start at Dolan’s Point and go around to the “Slip”. On Johnston’s Marsh they start at Crow's Point and include the east side and the north end of the marsh around to Oak Island. Another bed is staked from Morrison Island around to Hentzells. About 200 yards is reserved on the McClintic Marsh. In the main, fishermen agree that the state is very reasonable in its selection of breeding grounds and that there is still plenty of good fishing grounds available for use. There is just one thing to remember if jou wish to keep out of trouble. As long as you are able to read the wording on the signs you are on lawful ground, but whenever you get behind the signs you are liable to be arrested for trespassing.

BOARD DEFUSES 10 GRANT LICENSE Drys Win First Heat In Hard Fought Remonstrance Battle The Kosciusko county commissioners decided Tuesday afternoon that they would issue no license for Turkey Creek township and for the present, at least, Syracuse will remain in the dry column. The hearing of the cases came up on Monday morning. The attorneys for each of the applicants for saloon license challenged 29 of the signers on the remonstrance as being withdrawn, eight as having signed twice and 16 as unqualified voters. One of the latter was proved to be a woman. The attorneys on both sides got together in private conference and agreed that 29 names should come off, leaving 13 withdrawls and eight unqualified voters contested. Upon this agreement the case was presented to the board of commissioners, Tuesday, and leaving the remonstrance still carrying 281 names. It was contended by the attorneys for the applicants that the 13 withdrawls filed on Friday should be taken from the remonstrance and further contended that the majority necessary to validate the remonstrance should be determined by a majority of the votes cast for presidential electors at the last election The attorneys for the remonstrators insisted that the required majority to make the remonstrance binding should be based on the vote cast for governor, and furthermore that the 13 withdrawls should have not been filed later than Thursday. Upon these two questions of law, argument was indulged in at some length and the commissioners finally decided that the 13 were not filed in proper time and that the basis for determining the majority should be taken from the vote cast for governor, and in consequence held that the remonstrance was good. On the two disputed questions of law, County Attorney Walter Brubaker held that the revocations were filed in time and that the presidential electoral vote should control and in his opinion the remonstrance was insufficient. The commissioners, however, refused to accept his counsel on the law involved. It was stated by the attorneys for the applicants that the case will be appealed to the circuit court, but under the ruling of the commissioners the township will remain dry until a decision is reached, which will probably be in the near future. The attorneys for the applicants for license were Elmer Leonard, of Leonard, Rose & Zollers, of Fort Wayne; L. W. Vail, of Goshen; Frank McConnel, of Warsaw, and Otis C. Butt, of Butt & Xanders, of Syracuse. L. W. Royse and A. G. Wood, of Warsaw, and Capt. S. J. North, of Milford, represented the remonstrators. 38 YEARS AGO.
