Phones—Office 4—House 117 Entered as second-class matter May 4, /90S, at the post office at Syracuse, Indiana, under the Act of Congress oj March 3, 1879. There is a growing evidence of sectional feeling that amounts almost to jealousy in the handling of the nation’s business in Congress. This has been emphasized in the consideration of the measures for agricultural extension work, wherein the south has been accused of getting more than its share of benefits. The Lever bill looks to co-operation between states and the nation, in the great work to carry better farm methods directly to the farmer. That there may not be unjust imposition on the federal government it provides that every dollar of federal money provided for this purpose may be matched by another appropriated by the state. Moreover, the money thus provided has to be handled in each state through agricultural colleges. No state will be able to draw its allotment of the national money until it shall have made provision for its own share. This plan seems fair enough, but yet it is declared that "the south will get the best of It.” And why? Simplv because the south has already. made greater success in following the leadership of the Department of Agriculture’s program for improvement of the farm than any other section of the country. We are accustomed to accuse the south “with being slow,” but an analysis of this great movement toward the betterment of agriculture tends to confirm the belief that the west has prospered to such an extent that it is rather lofty in its attitude toward “book farming.” On the other hand, the south has frankly admitted that it has been groping in the dark—and it wants to learn. This is one thing in which the south might well be imitated by the rest of the country, and this is especially true in the region east of the Alleghanies and north of the Potomac, where, notwithstanding the fact that for more than a century there has existed the best markets and surest demands for agricultural products, that there has been a steady falling off of the right kind of methods for carrying on farming work. It can safely be said that there never was a public proposition put forth in Syracuse that received such a general support as did the Farmers’ Institute that w'as held last Friday. The aftermath was no less agreeable—the meeting was universally praised by both the citizens ol the town and country. Plans art Rlrtiady being discussed fur the

next Institute, and it is very likely to be a two-day session with addi tional speakers. Means of pioviding a larger assembly place are also being considered and the prediction is that the Farmers’ Institute will be a permanent affair in Syracuse. Many Papers that reach our desk tell of their schools being dismissed on real cold days on account of the low temperature of the rooms. Barring accidents, it isn’t probable that The Journal will have to make any statement to that effect. The working of the heating system at the local school was shown us several days ago and it was probably the finest we ever saw. It has a ventilation feature that keeps the rooms full of fresh air without adversely affecting the temperature. Congress will provide $310,000,000, or nearly a million dollars a day, for its post-office business the coming year. The parcel post is proving a great money maker, but it is designed to make extensions in the service, and reductions in rates, in order to keep the department dbwn to merely a self-sup porting basis. Penny postage is no longer a wild dream of the few. It stands a fair chance of becoming a reality. There Are some people who enjoy riding rough-shod ovor the mildmannered man’s opinions, not particularly caring whether they are right or wrong as long as they can squelch opposition. It may soothe their vanity to .thus assert themselves but it doesn’t help their intellectual attainments. The mild-man-nered man, in many cases, could tell the over-assertive person many things he doesn’t know. We, with a number of others, have wondered just where the trouble lies with the sidewalk in front of the school lots on Huntington street. Either the sidewalk is lower than the street or the street is higher than the sidewalk. And, either the sidewalk should be raised or the street' should be lowered.

TRADES WITH CULVER MAN DAN WOLF AND WM. HETTINGER EXCHANGE BAKERIES A deal was effected the latter part of last week whereby Wm. Hettinger took possession of the bakery, formerly owned by Dan Wolf; Mr. Wolf taking in exchange the similar business conducted in in Culver by Mr. Hettinger. These properties are now under the same management as they were four years ago, Mr. Wolf and Mr. Hettinger having traded at that time. Mr. Hettinger will occupy the Barringer property recently purchased by Mr. Wolf. Beware Os Conterfeits Descriptions of a counterfeit $lO bill are being sent out over the country and reports say they are appearing in this section.

Pioneer Lady Dies Mrs. Permelia Brower, 92 years old, and mother of Mrs. Josiah Garver and Mrs. Doc Kline of North Webster, died at the home of Mrs. Garver last Friday. She was wellknown and highly revered lady and one of the pioneers of Kosciusko county. Her home for many years was in the south part of this township. Giving Good Shows The Morris Stock Company that is appearing at the opera house this week are giving good, clean, enjoyable shows that.deserve patronage.

CANAL MEETING GRAND SUCCESS A Permanent Organization Was Effected to Take Up the Work The Lake Michigan &. Toledo barge canal meeting held at Fort Wayne, Friday last, was attended by more than 800 enthusiastic men from the several parts of Northern Indiana, through which the line of the canal might possibly run. Huntington, Auburn. Warsaw. Goshen and many other places sent large delegations. It is said that Auburn had 300 representatives. Hon. Perry Randall, the chief organizer and advocator of the canal, was made president and made a' brief presentation speech, making way for Hon. Anthony Deahl of Goshen, whom he introduced as “A crank, from Goshen, who does things.” Mr. Deahl said he was glad to be known as a fanatic; that he would not give the snap of his finger for the man who did not put into his business all there was in him of skill, energy and ability. Others from Huntington, Fort Wayne and North Manchester made ringing addresses favoring the project and urging the formation of an organization that will take hold of the matter and carry forward the movement to a sucessful finish. At the close of the meeting an organization was formed and it is said that all the 800 signed as members and paid the annual fee, which was fixed $2.00. The officers of this organization will invite all sections of Northern Indiana to get in and push the enterprise. Our one representative was prevented from attending because of serious illness in his family. Basket Ball Challenge An amatuer basket ball team was organized in Syracuse Saturday. They call themselves the “The Fat Men.” The team is composed of Dr. B. F. Hoy, Wm. DePew, Fred Hoch, T. A. Brainard and Sam Akers. They-are willing to meet all comers but are especially anxious to play an aggregation made up of lean men.

Mrs. Mary Crow Dead The Wawasee correspondent of the Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette, has the following in Saturday’s paper: A telephone message from Xenia, 0., Wednesday morning announced to relatives here of the death of Mrs. Mary Crow, which occured some time Tuesday evening. Mrs. Crow is the aged grandmother of Messrs. Dow and Will Crow, Mrs. Edward Klick and Mrs. Chauncey Sloan and an aunt of Mrs. J. S. Rarick and Mrs. A. E. Fick. Several of the relatives left on Thursday to attend the funeral Friday afternoon at Jeffersonville, Ohio. Milford School Contract Let The contract for the building of the new Milford school building has been let to James R. Barnes of Logansport, on his bid of $25,600. This does not include the heating or plumbing systems but it is probable that the total cost will be close to $30,000. Os course their building will not compare with the Syracuse structure but it will give excellent service to a town the size of of Milford.

PLAN VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN INDIANA PROHIBITIONISTS SAY FIGHT IS ABOUT TO BE WON Indiana Prohibitionists are planning for a very vigorous campaign They say that the fight against liquor is about to be won. One of their leaders in a statement last week says that it is not their plan to go half way with local option. They seek to wipe out saloons all over the state and not only this, but they intend to do away with the manufacture of liquor.

THE PIONEER WOOL LINE The pioneer wool line of the Mark G. Harris Company is ten years ahead of its nearest competitors. The Mark G. Harris sleeve and shoulder has never been dunlicated by any other tailoring firm. Mark G. Harris, himself, won the First Prize Gold Medal at Cincinnati in 1891, at the Custom Foreman Tailor’s Association, for superior cutting and fitting and he has held it against all comers ever since. These are the things that make Mark G. Harris clothes superior to any. We have several samples of good suits priced at $18.00; more at $19*50; and many at $20.75. Os course we have better grades. They range in price from $22.00 to $35.00. Remember, these are tailored suits, not ready-made. Get Ready! Easter Is Coming Its Star Clothing Store

INTERURBAN WORK MOVING STEADILY Nappanee States That They Are Willing To Share The Expense While no speed records are being broken in carrying the interurban proposition to success, nevertheless the work is going on and favorable sentiment is growing daily. Until Dr. S. F. George returns from Dayton, little information can be given cut by the local commitee. Nappanee has sent a communication which makes plain that they view the project with favor and are anxious to lend their assistance towards bringing an interurban to this territory. It is reported that Goshen has made some overtures towards again bringing the line through that place, but apparently Goshen has had a chance and in failing to grasp it then relinquished it fbr good. Wm. Crow who is interesting himself in the project, made a trip to Ft. Wayne last week, interviewing some of the people there who have cottages at the lake. These people looked at the thing in a favorable light and offered to assist in any way possible. As soon as Dr. George returns, and he is expected daily, activities will be renewed as it is desired to get the matter before the representatives of French capital as quickly as possible.
