We Have a suggestion to make to the ladies of Syracuse who belong to the various clubs. We hope they will take this in the spirit that it is intended—as a suggestion, not as a criticism. There are various methods of beautifying and enlivening a small town such as ours and if it is left for the men to do, it is seldom done. Now Ladies, why not incorporate into your club affairs the matter of improving the appearance of our little city? A few flowers and shrubs planted on outside lawns and on unoccupied lots would make wonderful changes in our town's appearance. It would gain you the everlasting approbation of everyone after they had viewed the results of your efforts. It would be a good plan if the ladies’ clubs would hold a mass meeting inviting all women, who would be apt to be interested, to attend and to help formulate plans for beautifying Syracuse. The Journal would be glad to print a communication from any lady interested in this subject. What we fancy, not what we need, regulates our present dav mode of living. If, when we eat our meals, we would eat only enough to satisfy our bodily needs instead of gorging ourselves to satiate our false appetite, we would be a healthier and wealthier race. We Are Told that Goshen’s share of the state automobile tax was a little over twenty-two dollars. One Syracuse man says that according to this, the city of Syracuse will probably .owe the state several dollars. If all the good roads planks that have been inserted into party platforms were laid end to end they would reach from Syracuse to Chicago. Waa 59 Years Old Mrs. Dilton was 59 years old. Her maiden name was Susie Barley and she married Mr. Ditton in 1878 at Harrisonville, Mo. In 1891 they moved to Wabash and for 17 years had resided at Wawasee.

Taking Your Measure There are several places where you can order made-to-measure clothes, but how about the fit? We surely have proved in the past several years that we are equal to measuring our customers for suits. Ask them, they will tell you that they have never had a tailor who fit them any better than we. Mark G. Harris is a competent and pre eminent clothing maker, but without our exact measurements even he would be unable to send you a suit that would fit perfectly. Our System qf Measuring is different than any other store employs. We take . more precautions than most stores, because we realize that our reputation hinges on the fit of our clothes. After we have used the tape on you, worry ceases. Come in and make us prove it. Its Star Clothing Store

MYSTERIOUS MILFORD CASE HARVEY HAMILTON KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS BY UNKNOWN An occurrence that is puzzling the residents east of Milford and which is equally mysterious to the victim has been reported. According to the story told the Journal, Harvey Hamilton, who resides one and a half miles east of Milford left his home Monday evening about 8 o’clock on a trip to Milford after oil, telling his wife he would not be gone long. He says that he met a man walking on the same side of the road as himself when in front of the Groves home on the outskirts of the town. He walked to one side to let the other pedestrian pass and that is the last thing he remembers until he regained consciousness to find himself lying in the Groves yard just a few feet from the house. He then proceeded home and was surprised to find that it was one o’clock in the morning. His right eve was swollen shut and he thinks the man who passed hit him. The oil can was later* found near the barn. The man’s pocketbook was taken but it only contained a little over SI.OO in money. No clew has been discovered as to the identity of the assailant. z —See the new rugs at Beckmans. Want Ads FOR RENT—Fine iso-acre grain farm i mile west of Syracuse. Possession at once.
