§ lion of such a grevious event. In the first place, drag hooks should be placed on the banks of the lake in some receptacle that will allow of instant access in case cf need. Secondly, there should not be a minute in the day or night in which we should be cut off from telephone connection, not only in the case of the local exchange, but all exchanges. Thirdly, we need a pulmotor placed so that it can be used on either lake within fifteen minutes after it is called for. The three proceeding essentials will work very well together: Had there been a drag hook on the banks of the lake, on Sunday, it is highly probable that the body could have been recovered within fifteen minutes. Had there been telephone connections, a pulmotor would have been available, shortly after. And, had we a pulmotor on these lakes, it could have been installed in the house, ready to perform its attempt to revive life. We do not say that the attempt would have been successful. But when human life is the stake, not even a faint chance can be overlooked. In Speaking of the proposed electric line from Ft. Wayne to Syracuse and Goshen, the Leesburg Journal says, in part: “If this line is ever put through it will take considerable business from Leesburg, as all shipping to North Webster is now sent to Leesburg and then taken overland.” Leesburg’s selfconfessed loss will be our gain, and the gain of all other towns and cities along the intended route. A richer field for an interurban to draw from could not easily be found and once it is tapped, if we do not get our share of the patronage, the blame will be ours, not the interurban’s.

Our Criticism of the present Sunday telephone service is meant in all kindness, and is directed not only against the local exchange but against every telephone station. We realize that it will mean four hours of extra labor to the central girl, whose burdens are numerous now; but personal welfare must bow before the general good. The mistake in closing a telephone office is not only apparent in Sunday’s happening, but in case of fire, critical sickness, or any unlooked for happening that requires emergency action, the telephone should be ready to perform its important function. The countv coroner spoke of circulating a petition to ask all telephone exchanges to remain open and we hope he succeeds in convincing all, that this action is necessary. REPLIES TO MAIL ARTICLE Editor Journal: —Under the caption, “Wide Open”, our friend Groves of the Milford Mail takes a sling at Syracuse merchants and other surrounding progessive towns on the question of early closing. We have been waiting for some of the “store help” of Milford to make reply to some of these articles but since they have not, we feel inclined to take a hand. , The merchants and their help in country towns are as much entitled to some time each day for recreation as are pny other class of peo pie. Railway and factory officials long ago learned from experience and observation that employees give the best service when working not longer than than ten hours a day. Students of the subject advise man, when possible, to divide his time as follows; one-third each to labor, recreation and sleep. But our friend of the Mail would have merchants and their help cut out the hours for recreation and make it sixteen hours or more for labor and catch what sleep and rest you can. Suppose the store is opened at six o’clock and closed at ten, not unreasonable hours you say for some poor working people? Only sixteen busy hours, hopping around all day, waiting on the trade, opening and marking new goods, cleaning up, and all the time looking pleasant, must have a kind word and a pleasant look for every one, though you may know she just came in to look through your dress goods, or millinery, didn’t want to buy to day The picture is not overdrawn, we have been there and know from experience. Then, when the stores are open at night many laboring men, as soon as they have finished their suppers, leave their families alone and make for the hot stove and sawdust cuspidor at the country store, there to smoke and chew and spit, and spin vulgar stories or tell vile, lies until John shuts up. Last but not least, the merchants will have the same trade when they close at six o’clock as when they close at ten o’clock, just so many people to serve and the rightminded customer will be only too willing for his merchant to have time to attend some social functions and above all to renew acquaintances with his wife and children. Milford, according to the Mail, is wide open. So are Gravelton and Hastings but I think Clnnette and Monoquet have outgrown it. Mail Reader. MonoquOt The Ladies’ Aid met at the home of Mrs. John E. Hall last Thursday. They will hold an exchange next Saturday at the Ford grocery in Warsaw'. Mrs. David Workman of Goshen visited her daughter, Mrs. J. W. Kirkendall and Mrs. John Vanator, Sunday. Jess Oswalt of Leesburg, will occupy the Metz farm near this place, soon. Miss Lulu Wright visited her aunt, Mrs. Miner, in Claypool, Sunday. Miss Faun Marvel, of Big Rapids, Mich., who has been visiting here for some time, is now visiting her unlce, Fred Martin and family in Fort Wayne. Ira Long and family and John E. Hall and family attended the funeral of Mrs. Samuel Long in Leesburg, Sunday. H. R. Miller and family visited Chas. Anglin and family near Nappanee Sunday. William Hearn loaded a car in Leesburg Monday, with his household goods and will leave with his family for Florida where they will make their future home. John Kirkendall and family spent Sunday with F. C. Johnson and wife. Arthur Stevens and wife visited with the latter’s parents, near Claypool, Sunday.

|Scbool ‘Rotes I By Iva Deardorff Myrtle Fitzgerald withdrew from school Friday. She will probably attend school at Warsaw. The Sophomore English are now studying the “Lays of Ancient Rome.” The advanced Sewing Class has just finished the short kimonas and are now beginning corset covers. The first class in Sewing are now making aprons. Emory Cable is absent from school with the mumps. Burch Voorhes has pneumonia. Wayne Holsher, who has been absent since holidays, returned’ Monday. - The Ligonier Basket Ball team played with the Syracuse team Friday evening The game was won with a score of 29-36 in favor of Syracuse.. In the sewing contest of the advanced section, Louise Bushong received first prize, Glenna Shannon second, and Winifred Shannon, third. The work was neatly and carefully done. The boys of the school are jubilant over the prospect of converting the upper floor of the old school building into a gymnasium. Mr. Frazier, architect, of Nappanee, was here on Monday, looking over the old building. He pronounced the project feasible. The boys have promised to share the expenses of remodeling, with the school board. Since the playground space is limited, it is certainly desirable that means be provided for the utilization of a part of the old building for this purpose. A program will be given by the Zetalatheans Friday afternoon. With the colder weather comes the cry for Buckwheat Cakes. Start the season right by ordering a sack of the Goshen Buckwheat Flour. Its the real thing. J. W. ROTHENBERGER : Undertaker : SYRACUSE, : IND. TOWN ANNUAL REPORT Syracuse, Indiana, Jan. 12, 1914. To the Board of Trustees of the Town of Syracuse: I, D. S.
