FARMERS ENJOY ’ FIKE LECTURES Both Speakers at the Institute Prove Familiar With Subjects The opera house was incapable of seating the large audiences that greeted each session of the first Farmers’ Institute, held in Syracuse on Friday. It was estimated that over four hundred heople were in attendance. Some deviation was necessary from the printed programs. The opening music was scheduled for 9:30, but it was ten minutes past ten before the start was made. After an invocation by Rev. C. C. Cloud, the permanent organization was taken up. Prof. C. C. Bachman acted as temporary chairman and the following permanent officers were elected: President, Jesse Shock; Secretary, C. C. Bachman; Treasurer, Arden Geyer. At 10:30, Mr. Maurice Douglas took up of soil improvement and manures and incidentlv brought in the growing of alfalfa. This latter crop proved so interesting to his hearers that Mr. Douglas was compelled to take up the time originally assigned to Mrs. R. A. Ogg, and answered questions relating to the preperation of the ground for alfalfa and the different phases of the growth of this phenomenal crop. Music by the high school chorus opened the afternoon session and Mr. Douglas then spoke on “Silos and Silage.” It mainly had to do with the proper time at which to put up silage and the merits of alfalfa as a silage product was treated. Mrs. Ogg, who was crowded out of the morning program, combined her subject with that of the afternoon, and succeeded in delighting her audience with her excellent treatment of the themes: “The Housewife’s Problem.” and "Housekeeping vs. Home-making.” Mrs. Ogg told how it was possible to eliminate much of the drudgery and routine of housework and how easy it made things when there was harmony between the members of the home. A much appreciated solo and encore by Catherine Rapp opened the evening meeting when Mrs. Ogg gave her pleasing lecture, “City or Country: Which?” She told of the pitfalls that await the feet of the unwary country boy or girl who goes into the city, and illuminatingly pointed out the advantages of farm life over that of the city. Mr. Douglas, in speaking of “The Rewards of Farm Life,” took up the question of keeping the boy and girl on the farm and also suggested that the older people stay there. He told how much nicer it would be if the farmer, who has gained a competence, would build a modern and comfortable house on the farm, instead of moving to town. He said that this would have the additional advantage of making thg boy and girl more satisfied with their life in the country. After again drifting into his pet subject of alfalfa. the first Farmers’ Institute held in Syracuse for many years, came to an end. The music, furnished by the pupils of the high school, was ac cepted with great favor by the audiences and did much towards bringing the program to its successful culmination. A word of praise is also due the five or six men who worked so untiringly in their effort to make possible this meeting. They surmounted many difficulties and they are to be congratulated on the interest they aroused and on the excellent speakers they secured. During the period devoted to permanent organization, plans for the next meeting were tentatively discussed. It was suggested that a two day’s meeting be held. This was before the program; after, when no doubt was felt but the thing was a beneficial success, it was brought home all the more forcibly that a two-'day session was highly desirable. A longer time could have been used very profitably cn Friday for discussions. The Journal wiJLbe glad to open its columns to the farmers who wish to discuss matters taken up at the Institute or any other subject pertaining to agricultural pursuits. We will be glad to help make the Insti ute an every week, affair Let any farmer whtr has a suggestion or an idea to offer* send a commun-

tauten io Tn, U will create a stimulated interest in farm betterment and will influence others to express their opinions; in this way The Journal can maintain a department that will be of considerable value to our rural subscribers. CEMENT ROADS |E CONING Concrete Will Be The Road Material Os The Future Road experts seem to agree on one thing, concrete will be the material of which the roads will be built in the future. At first glance it seems that the cost will be high and it is more expensive than gravel. But when the concrete road is built and built right, it requires no expense for upkeep. The people interested in the gravel pit between here and Milford have already seen that their product will not be in the demand that they thought for when the fine, strain of gravel was first discovered. Without doubt they will find a ready market for their gravel but the price will not be near so high as they at first hoped for. A number of contractors predict that the cost of making gravel highways will be much higher than was expected and that the wearing life will not be long. Hollows form quickly in the gravel road and for this reason it is expensive to keep the highway up to its initial excellence. Well posted people advise concrete roads. The cost, as we said before, is heavier than gravel or macadam, but the upkeep is much less. WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN BIDS DITCH IS SOLD TO HIGHEST BIDDER INSTEAD OF LOWEST The .Chaibeck ditch in Sparta township, Noble countv, was sold last week to Hartmann of Auburn. Gale & RusSen who.owp the dredge on Lake Wawasee, bid the job in at $3,500, while Hartmann’s bid was $4,699, a difference of $1,199. Hartmann uses a patent dump scraper and his friends claim that tfie reason he was awarded the contract was that the ditch would be much better when scraped. We have been informed that fanners along the ditch are going to inquire into the increased cost and it will be up to some one to explain to them how they benefit 35 per cent, under the Hartmann contract. Cherry Cider Holds “Kick” Grocers and druggists at Tipton and several other towns are in a peck of trouble because they have been selling “cherry cider” which chemists, in the state pure food laboratory, have found to contain from 3to 7 per cent, alcohol. “White grape cider,” “Mexican hot” and “Clearo” are also beverages which have been found to contain big percentages of alcohol. Samples of the several beverages, which are manufactured at Sandusky, Ohio, were obtained by B. Frank Tucker, a deputy state food inspector. H. T. Barnard, state food and drug commissioner, is preparing to pros ecute the dealers for violating the pure food laws, and it is possible that action will be taken on charges of operating “blind tigers.” COD OVER OIL ANO IRON Two Most World-Famed Tonics Combined in Vinol. Cod Liver oil and Iron have proved to he the two most successful tonics the world has ever known —iron for the blood and the medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil as a strength and tissue builder for body and nerves, and for the successful treatment of throat and lung troubles. Twoi eminent French chemists discovered a method of separating the curative medicinal elements of the cods’ livers from the oil or grease which is thrown away , but to these medicinal elements tonic iron is now added, thus combining in Vinol the 1 two most world famed tonics. As a body-builder and strength creator for weak, run-down people, for feeble old people, delicate children, to restore strength after sickness: and for chronic coughs, colds, bronchitis or pulmonary troubles we as t you to try Vinol with the undhrstan ’■ ing that your money will bo.return.' if it does not help you.

NAP OFFICIAL'S Ut UAL IBS He Just Can Not Bear to See Nappanee Lose a Game of Ball In the game between Nappanee and Syracuse, Saturday night, the unsportsman like tactics of the visitor’s referee were used to save his charges from certain defeat. This referee’s method has become notorious in nearly every town where Nappanee has played and it has succeeded in gaining -an unenviable reputation for that town’s treatment of its opponents. The first game of the double-1 header scheduled for the opening ■ of the new hall was clean and en-| jovable. Bremen in the end lost to the Syracuse Invincibles by a score of 11 to 19. The first half of the NappanctSyracuse game was a real treat to the devotees of the game. It was probably the fastest game the Syracuse team ever played, owing to the crowding of their opponents. The locals were equal to the task and the first period closed with Syracuse on the big end of a 9 and 5 score. The first part of the second half was equally as good as the first but there was one thing that began to worry Nappanee’s official — his charges were still on the losing side. His opportunity to throw his official influence into the balance came when Hire, opposed bv two Nappanee players (which constituted a foul against Nappanee,) succeeded in throwing a basket. He neglected to call a foul against Nappanee; but fie refused to allow the counting of Hire's score, claiming that Hire advanced with the ball and that Nappanee was entitled to try for a bas ket on these grounds. This onesided vision immediately brought a storm of protest and an argument lasting 45 minutes ensued On the refusal of the sixth member of the visiting team to either don a basket ball suit or confine his activities to refereeing, Syracuse refused to continue and the score stood at 20 to to 16 in the locals’ favor with four minutes unplayed. It was the opinion of all and even conceded by the Nappanee team, that the referee was mistaken, to put it in the mildest form. This practice of his has become so insistent that it can be no longer attributed to poor judgment. It is commonly spoken of in several town in meaner and more direct terms. The new gymnasium was comfortably filled, and with their new floor, the local team expects to bring good teams here. They displayed their ability to oppose good players, Saturday night. Os course a six-man team has many advantages. DREDGE SINKS IN WAOBEE COMPELS CLOSING DOWN OF CEMENT WORKS FOR FEW DAYS The dredge used by the cement works for the taking of marl from Waubee lake sank last week and has caused a temporary shut-down. The dry-grind or finishing room is the only department now running. Mr. Wheeler, the superintendent, staged* Monday that they were then at work raising the dredge and that operations at the plant would probi ably be resumed in a few days. Victum Os Thugs E. C. Rosen has handed us a clipping of the death of John Mitsch, a hotel keeper of Cedar Lake, Indiana, who was assaulted by highwaymen. Mr. Rossen ran a boat on Cedar Lake about 17 years ago and twice he was saved from an attack by thugs by the timely arrival of Mr. Mitsch, who now has.met a fate that he guarded Mr. Rossea from. Big Theatre Project F. M. Stouder, who spends the summer at Lake Wawasee, is interested in a project to build a $l5O, 000 vaudeville theatre at Ft. Wayne, where he is manager of the Temple vaudeville house. The new struc ture is to be one of the finest in the state and will seat 2400 persons. Mr. Stouder is well up in knowledge ; of the amusement game, having managed the Temple when it was a modern house.
