SUNDAY SCHOOL DIKES CENSUS ► ——• A United Effort Will Be Made To Increase The Attedpnce A movement that had its conception in the Township Sunday School Convention held in Syracuse last June, has taken shape and preparations are nearly completed for the taking of a census of Syracuse and vicinity, by the Township Sunday School Assciation. The purpose is to induce the attendance of a larger portion of the juvenile population at Sunday School and further than this the committee propose placing bibles in as many unsupplied homes as possible. , The committee who has charge of this work is: Mrs. C. A. Cloud, Chairman and Mesdames Omar Darr, Wm. Jones, Alvin Eshelman, Wm. Beckman, and Miss Susan Fisher. Report blanks have been printed and these will be taken from house to house throughout the town for the purpose of finding the number of children, their age, and the church their parents are members of. These ladies may visit your home in the next week and we bespeak for them couteous treatment and intelligent answers to all quesiions. Lots Os Peaches H. W. Buchholtz, B. & 0. Agent :old the Journal Man; Monday, that he could not look a peach in the face with out shuddering. Before the season closes it is estimated that nearly 4,000 bushels will have been shipped from this locality. Up to the present time the most of the shipments have been made by local express to Ft.

NEW PRIZE OFFERED AT CLOSE Os The Contest, Which All Candidates Have An Equal Show to Win. Hundreds of Dollars Still Due On Back Subscriptions. Will You Help Your Friend Get Her Share

Only a few more hours and the Journal’s great profit saving contest will be a matter of local history. But up to the time of going to press the question as to* who will be the three winners is as much of a problem as when the contest started. Instead of any of the candidates forging to the front and securing a good lead they are drawing nearer io a tie, and we believe it wiil take the last minute and the last dollar to decide who will win each of the three trips. If each friend of the different candidates could only realize what each subscription means to the candidate he or she favors, they would make these last few hours very* busy. The loss of one subscription may mean the loss of one of the trips. In a contest we conducted about a year ago, a friend of one of the candidates secured the promise of a new two year subscription for her friend. It would have been worth 13,000 votes. In the excitement of the close the friend forgot to go after the subscription until it was too late. The loss of these 13,000 votes made that candidate lose the first prize by 8000 votes. The loss of that two year subscription by that candidate meant the loss of $l5O. This contest at the present time is even more nearly a tie than that one was at the same time, and we only allude to the incident to show the candidate and the public how important it is to not let even one subscription get away. From present indications this is going to be the closest contest we have ever conducted. We would like to have all the candidates in turning in subscription during the close, write them on a slip of paper, like this: John Jones Syracuse, R. R. one, renewal SI.OO William Smith, New Paris, R. R. 2, new SI.OO This will greatly expediate the work of making out the coupons at the close, when we are extremely busy. On closing we would like to call attention to the fact that there still several hundred Journal subscribers who have not renewed their subscriptions. After carefully figureing we find there is still due about S4OO. As we said before we believe this is all good and can be secured by the candidates if they will see the parties. 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 subscriptions, 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 wiU count on this offer. This offer includes money from both renew-

als 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 as Bonus Votes On each club of $5.00 worth of new subscriptions we 5 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 candidates 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, Attorntey. H. W. Bucholz, Agent B. & 0. 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 6th, no 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 connt. There will be no appeal from this decission as to time. Cromwell Visits Us Seven automobiles loaded witn Cromwell enthusiasts were here, Monday, advertising their home coming day.

Buggy Overturns What might have proved a much more serious accident happened Thursday evening when Mrs. Earl Grimes and baby and Miss Gladys Wilkinson were returning from Ligonier. They met an automobile, some distance beyound the Bobeck farm, which was running very fast that frightened their horse. A little farther on where there is a high enbankment on each side of the road they met a second machine which they assert, did not stop when they waved their hands for it to do so. The horse crowded towards the edge of the ditch and the buggy toppled over. Miss Wilkison who was holding the baby at the time was thrown out through the back, while Mrs. Grimes held on to the lines and was in the top of the overturned buggy. John Snowbarger, who was driving the second machine, stopped and the horse was freed from the buggy, and the injured people taken to the Bobeck farm, from where they were later removed to their homes. The baby was bruised but not thought to be internally injured. The two ladies were both badly scratched and bruised but neither was seriously hurt. Mai ny Changes " Changes in the working personnel of the cement works are coming so fast that we can no longer keep track of them. Supt. Wheeler, is practically reorganizing the working force and their methods, and those that cannot or will not conform to the new order of things are soon conspicuous by their absence. Among the more important changes is the cessation of the two week's shifts. Hereafter the same man will continue on night work the year around without shifting to days every two weeks as heretofore. This applies to the day men as well. Some of the departments have three shifts of eight hours each, but it is thought that with very few exceptions all departments will be put on the two-shift, twelve-hour system. Strieby Reunion Over 200 people were present at the annual Strieby reunion held on the Andrew Strieby farm last Thursday. One of the features of the day was the reminiscences of the older generation. The old officers were reelected and it was decided to hold the next meeting on the Floyd Strieby farm. Among those from a distance were Mrs. Mart Landis and son, Clyde, of Chicago, Mrs. L. R. Miller of Omaha. Neb., Grant Strieby of South Bend, and others from Sidney, Albion and Kendallville. Mistake Corrected We were incorrectly informed regarding the sale of the west room of the Hotel Holton building, which we stated last week would be sold at Commissioner’s Sale. Mrs. Green, by the terms of the Jacob Green’s will, was left the property for life and could not sell without a court order. She has told local people that she wished to keep the building and has no intentions of selling. Goshen Fair The Goshen Fair has an unusually attractive premium list and race offering this year and all indications point to a record-breaking attendance. The admission price has remained at 25 cents with the exception of Thursday when it will be increased to 50 cnets. Buys House James Bolger has purchased the house which stood on the Mann property recently aquired by F. L. Hoch. Mr. Bolger has movede the building on to a lot on Boston Street Mrs. Silas Blue Dead Emma L. Blue, wife of Silas Blue of Goshen, died there Saturday morning of heart trouble, aged 76 years. She was a sister of Mrs. John M. Juday of this place. Stove for Sale —Good hard coal burner in good condition, for sale cheap. Burdelle Weaver.
