TEACHERS FOR COMING YEAR School Will Open On Next Monday For Season Os 1314 School opens Monday Sept. Ist. There are prospects of an attendance much In access of last year on account of the boom that Syracuse is now experiencing. The only departure from the course of study of last year will be the installation of sewing and wood work in the seventh grade. This is in accord with a recent ruling of the Board of Education. Syracuse had anticipated this movement towards industrial work and installed these two lines of work two years ago. Recent legislation make it necessary to offer these lines of work at least in the seventh and eighth grades. Agriculture will also be taught in the grades. This subject was placed in the course by action of the last legislature. Following is the corps of teachers for the year 1913-1914. Mr. C. C. Bachman, Supt. Miss Jane M.

Promptly at o’clock cn 9 Saturday night, September 6th the Journal’s great profit sharing contest will come to a close. We will issue votes on all money on the contest managers desk at that hour, but no more can be placed on the desk. From 9 o’clock until 9:30 will be given the candidates to place their ballots in the ballot box. We want to say here that while only a few days more remain of the contest we believe that each candidate who is working has a very good chance to win, if the friends of any candidate would put their shoulder to the wheel and help a little they eould make their favorite win. We had a case recently in which eight friends of one candidate started out to seeure one subscription for her, and they in turn asked the party they secured the subscription from if they would not try and secure one subsription for her. The result of this was that the candidate these ladies were woking for won the big trip easily. What these ladies done in that contest can easily be done in this one. To the candidates we will say that the more energy and enthusiasm you put in your work these last few days the more willingly will your friends work for you. Try it and see the result. SIO.OO In Gold The UNeed-It Contest Co. will give to the candidates turning into the office of the Journal the greatest amount of money from sub j scriptions, SIO.OO in gold. This offer extends from the close of business Saturday night August 23rd, until the close of the contest on Saturday night Sept. 6th. No money turned into the office previously will count on this offer. This offer includes money from both renewals and new subscriptions. Any subscription paid at the office of Journal will count and the candidate given proper credit if the party paying the subscription gives the contest manager the name of the candidate he or she wishes the credit to go to. Each candidate has an equal show at this money as nothing turned in previously will count. The candidate who wins this prize of SIO.OO in gold will in all probability win the big trip, although we have had numerous instances in which candidates who did not win a prize won the SIO.OO. This prize will go to the one who is the most industrious during the two weeks of the contest. • Bonus Votes. On each club of $5.00 worth of new subscriptions we will give 10,000 bonus votes. For each club of $5.00 worth of renewal subscriptions we will give 7,000 bonus votes. This new offer extends from the close of business Saturday night. August 23rd until the close of the contest Saturday night, September 6th. All extra votes and the votes from the regular schedule will also be given. Any

thing less than a club of $5.00 worth of new or old subscriptions will not count. To make this as clear as possible we will say that if a candidate had four new subscriptions and did not secure the fifth one she would lose the 10,000 bonus votes. Won’t you help your caudidate secure a club? The Judges The publisher of the Journal, the contestants and the contest manager have selected the following gentlemen to act as judges and count the ballots; C. C. Bachman Supt. of Schools. Otis C. Butt Attorney. H. W, Buchqiz, Agent B. & O. R. R. These gentlemen will count the votes and award the trips. We believe the selection and acceptance by these gentlemen of the task is a very happy solution of this important question. Time Keeper On account of the variation in watches and clocks it is important that we have one time to go by. For this reason we always have a time keeper selected. J. H. Miller, Postmaster. As time keeper, he will keep the time and when he announces it is 9 o’clock on Saturday nignt, September 6tb, no more money will be accepted, but the candidates will be allowed a half hour longer to deposit their ballots at 9:30 the judges will take charge of the ballot box and commence the count. There will be no appeal from this decission as to time. Extra Votes-Last Period During the last period we will give 3000 extra votes with each dollar paid on subsripton. This period extends from the close of business Sarurday night. August 30th untill the close of the contest Saturday night, September 6th. Important Notice Next week we will drop all candidates having less than 15,000 votes, provided, however, that if a candidate wishes to remain in the race she can do so by casting some votes from subsriptions. Her friends can keep her in the race by paying a subscription and casting the votes for her. This rule is used in all contests so that the general public knows just who have a chance to win the great trip. Annual Institute With Dr. Arnold B. Hall, assistant professor of political science in the University of Wisconsin, Professor 0. L. Reid, principal of the girls’ high school at Louisville, Ky.; and Miss Martha Ripple, supervisor of music in the Pasadena, California schools, as instructors, the annual institute of the Kosciusko county teachers opened on Monday morning.

IS LOOKING FOR FACTORY LOCATION Mr. Garwood Os LaPorte. Talks With Local Business Men A number of local men met at D. S. Hontz,s office, Friday afternoon, to talk with a Mr, Garwood of LaPorte, relative to locating a factory for the mannfacture of a pulverizer for farm use. The article seems to posess merit and is designed to throughly pulverise the ground for seeding purposes, and when it is used, harrow, clod-crusher or roller is unnecessary, The good features of the article could not well be denied and Mr. Garwood offered to bring a machine here and demonstrate its worth, before asking anyone to take any interest. The device is patented and a company, known as the Garwood Tiller Company, has been incorporated at $25,000. Mr. Garwood and several associates now hold $13,000 worth of the stock and they proposed selling as much of the remainder, as possible to local parties, the funds secured to be used in the erection of a building and purchase of machinery. No further action has been taken by local men. Iman Rookstool Surprised When Iman Rookstool returned home from an automobile ride Sunday about 11:30 A.
