siwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnwwmminwmg |School IHotes I jUjUHUUUUUIIUUUUUIUUUIIUIUUIUK U« h.l Uc.ud.nlt But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time when it t'omes round—apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that—as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable pleasant time; the only time I think 1 know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys— Dickens. A spirit of Christmas is shown in the decoration of the grade rooms. The pupils of the different rooms are finishing Christmas sewing and calendars. Final examinations will be held j on Thursday and Friday of this week. The sewing class have handed in i some fine pieces of work. Charles Rentfrow, Lonnie Searfoss Katharine Rothenberger and Vida j Dewart have drawn some excellent history charts. The drawing of Wilson’s admiais- i tration for special works are good. , The long looked for two weeks vacation will begin at the close of school Friday. Eva Eppert entered Miss Lutz’s room Monday. The Juniors have completed their Dramatizations. Miss Sprague will spend a part of the coming vacation at Indianapolis. The Better-Half Literary Society will give a program Friday afternoon. The Basket Ball game played last Saturday with Bremen was won with a score of 38-16 in favor of Syracuse. The team here showed greater improvement in playing than in former games. Next Friday they | will play at Albion, where they expect to render a good account of themselves. The history charts have greatly improved since those named above were made. The following was written by Pauline Hoelcher, a pupil of Mrs. Shannon’s room: ‘ The Most Powerful Bug in the world, a little bug called Tubercle Bacillus causes Tuberculosis. “The little germ is the most powerful bug in the world because it is so little that you can’t see it until it is magnified twelve hundred times. ‘Thousands of these little germs can go through the eye of a needle and ride on a speck of dust. “The disease tuberculosis, is spread by spiting on the floor in any public place like the post office, drug store or any other place. Then it dries and little germs comes out and fly in the air. “Spitting is a dangerous thing because the little germs of tuberculosis are in spit, they come out and spread disease. “It is dangerous to sleep in a room with the windows tightly closed, because the little germs grow in the air when it is impure or the sunshine is shut out. “The association for the study and prevention of Tuberculosis is fighting the disease in Indiana. “The money is raised by selfing Red Cross Christmas Seals. Everybody should use Red Cross Christmas Seals to help stop tuberculosis. They are used to put on letters and boxes at Christmas time.” Farmers Complain Obviously, something should be done to eliminate the nastv condition of our principal streets, especially through the business section of the town, We heard a farmer com plain that after driving his horses to a hitch post he had to walk out upon the wagon tongue to get to the side walk without wading mud to his knees. Several people have sug-1 gested that if the sloppy, worn out I dressing was scraped and hauled | from the roads while they are in I .this condition, a lot of good could he accomplished and with less work than when the roads are dried off. The fact remains that there probably isn’t a town in the country that that has any worse main streets than have we, and very little effort has ever been made too improve .them. If paving is to expensive, let us at least rid them of some of the sloppy mud that is in some places a foot thick.

INIERURBAN LINE M AGITATED Dr. S. F. George Here Looking Over Local Situation Dr. Samuel George of Dayton, Ohio, has been in Syracuse the past ten days with a view to promoting an electric railway connecting Gosh- - en. Syracuse, and Ft. Wayne? Two routes are proposed. One includes North Webster, Larwill, and Columbia City; the other is through Wolf Lake and Churubusco; the choice depending upon the support volunteerd by the towns. Dr. George comes with excellent letters of recomendation from prominent men and buisiness houses. He represents French capital that is desirous of acquiring several electric lines for investment. A committee of Syracuse men are acting with him and it is their intention to raise by subscription enough money to locate the right-of-way and to pay the engineering cost of preparing a profile. In other words they intend to prepare the project for presentation to the capitalists’ engineer. Dr. George and the local men were at Goshen,. Monday, and are arranging for a conference with men of that city. Os course the project, is far from being an assured thing and progress of the proposition depends entirely on how it is receivedby the average citizens. We are in formed that no subsidies will be asked or voted for. To Former Patrons —I have suspended business and all accounts due me must be settled in cash or bankable note by Janu ary 1,1914. Geo.

Dear Sir:—Your check for 5961.21 in full settlement of policy No. 19223 which my husband Edition Deardorff carried with your company, was received this day—three days after proofs of death were mailed to you. Please accept my thanks for the prompt manner in which this claim was settled. Wishing you the greatest success, I am, Sincerely Yours, (Signed) MARY F. Wife and BenefiZiary. The above letter speaks volumes sot the prompt and efficient service rendered by G. W. Howard, the local agent for the Reserve Loan Life In surance Company through whom this claim was paid. It also speaks well for company’s promptness in the settlement of death claims and entitles it to the name which it carries of being the 24-HOUR COMPANY as proofs of death were mailed from Syracuse December 9th, and their check in, payment of claim was dated Dec. 10th.

Borts Home Burns - The country home of Mr. and Mrs. James Borts, one mile south of Syracuse, was totally destroyed by fire, Wednesday morning about nine o’clock.
