MORE INTEREST IK OTHER TOWNS Interurban Subscriptions Are Raised In Nearby Localities The interurban from Ft. Wayne to Syracuse and Goshen, seemingly is creating more interest in other towns along the route than it does in our o vn community. North Webster has had a meeting and will subscribe not less than SSOO to the fund. Wolf Lake had offered to subscribe the same amount, but in a letter received from citizens of that place, states that $760 has already been promised. Goshen business men have also agreed to do their share and it is thought that no difficulty will be experienced at Benton. Syracuse remains a little backward in expressing their approval of the proposition. . Dr. S. F. George was expected on the day that this was written and as soon as he returns, renewed activity will begin in the interest of the electric railway. M. E. Chui ch The interest in the revival meetings at the M. E. Church has gradually increased from the first, as has the attendance also. The church people of the community seem wide awake to the need of a revival and are heartily giving their aid to the Methodists who are really alive to the situation. The sermons are always an appeal to the heroic in men, while Mrs. Cloud’s gospel solos reach the hearts of her listeners. Brubaker Supplanted Because he accepted the appointment of city attorney for Warsaw, the county commissioners refused to re-appoint Walter Brubaker, county attorney, or at least that was the reason given. Bertram Shane was named as Brubaker’s successor. The commissioners ap pointed Dr. C. W. Burket of Warsaw, county health officer, and named Dr. C. 0. Dußois as county doctor. First Fish House Butt & Xanders, not in their role as lawyers, but as fishermen, have placed a fish house on the lake—the first to be seen on Syracuse lake for many years. There are several more in process of construction and they will be in use before long. Mrs. Hoy’s Father Dies T. J. Cross, father of Mrs. B. F. Hoy, died at a Chicago hospital last Thursday of cancer of the stomach. He was a resident of Peru and was aged 67 years. The widow and two daughters, Mrs. Tenny of Peru, and Mrs. Hoy, of Syracuse, survive. The funeral was held at Peru, Sunday. Warsaw Woman Gets Divorce Mrs. Melissa A. Peterson has been granted a divorce from her husband, David A. Peterson, in the Kosciusko cirtuit court. The question of alimony } was settled by agreement. Didn’t Have License Noah Black of Kosciusko county was arrested by Deputy Game Warden Rigney and before Justice Bennet in Warsaw, pleaded guilty to hunting without a license. He paid $19.75. , Will Appraise Plant C. J. Reilly went to Cincinnati, Monday evening, where he was called in his capacity of consulting engineer. Before returning he will appraise a cement plant in another Ohio town. Decision Withheld The judge has held up his decision in the Turkey Creek ditch cleaning case. The remonstrators held that it is illegal to order a part of the ditch cleaned without performing similar work on the remainder. Mt. Tabor Revival The revival in progress at Mt. Tabor and conducted by Rev. Alvin Eshel mantis enjoying good attendance and much good is resulting in much benefit to that section. Appointed Township Assessor To supply the vacancy made by the resignation of John Davisson, County Auditor Victor D. Mock has named Noah F. MacConeld as assessor for Jefferson township. Swallowed Rubber Tubing The two year old daughter of Dr. B J. Wyland of Wakarusa, swallowed a piece of rubber tubing on New Year’s Day, but no ill effects are as yet apparent. Cleaning, Pressing, Repairing —Ladies, Gentleman, and Childrens clothes called for and delivered. Phone 905. Boston St. Mrs. Henry Snobarger Mrs. Nora Kitson

Want Body Exhumed Intense excitement prevails in | Wakarusa, where it is alleged that 1 Levi Strop, 40 years of age, a farmer who died in St. Joseph county, Nov. 24, was poisoned. The remains were buried at Wakarusa and Cproner Mast was asked to exhume them. He declined to do so until an investigation is made by the grand jury. At the time of Strop’s demise, it was given out that death was caused by contraction of the kidneys. His widow and seven children survive. It has not been made known who is suspected of committing murder. The Older The Better The older you get the better you are, or at least, A. A. Beach so argues. As proof, last Thursday, he nailed shoes on 8 hoofs in 18 minutes, and after dark in the bargain. Frank Shaff' r held the light and did the timing and it was just 20 minutes from the time that the team drove into the blacksmith shop until they drove out again, shod all around. Beach is 52 years old and. as we said before, is getting better every day. Better Late Than Never Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Colwell were made happy by the birth of a boy at their home, Sunday morning “Coon” Gordy is doing most of the work at their plumbing snd tinning shop, at the present, as George dosen’t seem to be able to keep his mind on the job ever since the great event. raiUTEST FOB JANUARY 30 James Kline and Mrs. Carl Tuttle will Address ” Farmers Prof. C. C. Bachman, has received notice that the speakers for the Farmers’s Institute in Syracuse will be available on January 30th, and as a consequence, if you are a member of the institute that has been organized in this section, you had better mark January 30th on your calander as a day to be looked forward to with pleasure. The institute has befen fortunate in the assignment of speakers. James Kline, of Howe, LaGrange county, has been engaged in farming for 35 years and is now living on his farm of 160 acres. He is growing the several crops and classes of live stock, but his specialties are seed coin, registered cattle and horses. Mr. Kline has written for the local and state papers for many years. At 15, he stated as a farm hand. At 25 he purchased an 80 acre farm and has since added anbther 80 acres. Mrs. Carl Tuttle, the other speaker is from Pleasant Lake, Stueben county and is living on a farm. She has a family of five, besides hired help, and is therefore meeting and solving the problems of countiy home-making. Mrs. Tuttle is interested in the betterment of the home neighborhood, and has much experience in that work as as well as in the care and making of the home. We are not prepared to announce the entire program for the institute but the meeting will open about 9:30 in the morning and will con tinue throughout the day and even ing with exception of intervals at dinner and supper. Any who care to, may bring eatables along and the conveniences of the reception room and the kitchen' of K. of P quarters will be offered to those who wish to prepare their own provi sions. A program of special interest to the young people will be the evening feature. The subjects will be, “City or Country; Which?” and “Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs in Contests.” The children of the rural schools will be spoken of and questions of every-day life will be discussed. Do not plan anything for this date, Keep January 30th for a day of entertainment and profitable instruction. \ IscboolJHotes | By Iva Deardorff There have been neither any | withdrawals nor entrances this week. The sewing classes are now making button-holes and short kimonas. Four excellent charts of the Thirty Year’s War were made by Katharine Rothenberger, Vida Dewart, Mildred Edgell and Frances Miller. The Freshmen English class are beginning the study of the “Merchant of Venice.” The new classes begun this semester are English, Grammer, Arithmetic and Civics. John Poyser is very sick. A basket ball game will be played by the Syracuse and Ligonier teams. Two fine U. S. History charts were made by the pupils of Miss Pott’s room. The attendance this week has been very poor.

ice cow HAS STARTED « Ice Ranges From Six To Eight Inches In Various Localities The southwest gale that was ushered in Sunday morning cheered the hearts of the ice-men, or rather, cheered the organism that performs the functions of the heart, for we are generally informed that ice-men have no heart. The wind continued Sunday night and on Monday morning the thermometer had gone down to six above zero, the lowest point reached so far this winter. One firm began cutting ice Wednesday morning and the other expect to s'art in a day or two. If the present weather continues, it is highly probable that the B & O. will harvest its annual crop of ice some time the latter part of the week. The ice ranges from six to eight inches in thickness and the quality is only fair. The recent thaw makes the first inch or so a little soft, and in some parts of the lake there is considerable dirt scattered through. Some weather forecasters fore ell warmer weather the latter part of the week, but as their prophesies were far from accurate during pre-, ceeding weeks, little reliance is placed in them now. Elkhart County Court News Clara McGarrity has petitioned for guardian for Simeon Smith, 80. who has personal property worth SI,OOO, and a 120 acre farm. Barn Burns At Milford At Milford, Saturday night, a barn on the property owned by Albert Krull, and occupied by John Mellinger, burned to the ground.

If the fish are biting he wants just one more, while if they are not he has every reasqu for staying until he does get a bite. The potato crop for 1913 is placed at 100,000.000 bushels less than that of 1912. or 319.000.000 bushels, Maine is the only one of the potato producing states that has a larger crop thaii last year. The average price to producers for ♦heir potato crop on Oct. 1 is put at 74.1 cents per bushel. The farmer who, in a benevolent mood, gave his wide awake boy a little pig and then when the animal got to weigh 350 pounds sold it and didn’t give the lad the coin will have himself to thank if this same boy digs out for the city where he can be his own boss and get what he considers a square deal, . As the colder weather comes on and the need increases for warmer tires care should be given to the condition of the flues and ehiihneys. A little repair work done along this line may save the family’s hiking out in negligee attire some night in the next three or four months when the thermometer is down near the zero point. If the fldek of hens are too fat and as a result have shut down on their laying operations a change should be made in feeding them. If they have been given mashes these should be cut out, the grain being fed whole and the hens being made to scratch it out bf a litter, which should be renewed often enough so that it will not become foul. That achieving fame seems to be largely the result of doing some one thing a little better than anybody else Is nicely illustrated in the case of the Oregon hen. C-543. that laid 291 eggs In the course of a single year. She simply laid eight more eggs in that time than any other hen ever laid, but she is now known from one end of the country to the q£her.
