THE HITCH RACK MATTER We Have it from several sources that the farmers are objecting very strenuously to the removal of the hitch racks from the streets, and some have even gone so far as to threaten to sign an agreement to stay away frem Syracuse if the town board persists in its detormin-I ation to confine hitching to the old mill yard. While we could not commend them for such an attitude even if it be true that they are contemplating such drastic methods, the fact remains unassilable, the hitch racks are more convenient and better liked where they are. We have observed conditions in several towns and find that in the majority- the tendency is to put up more tying places in the most convenient spots, and those towns having hitch yards, have them located in central spots with either a good floor or a protecting roof. Unquestionably, the conditions around our present tying places have been bad but it isn’t always practical to cut off a hand because one finger is sore, a better way is to treat the finger. This applies equally as well to our present problem. Instead of j removing the racks, why not fix them so that the objectional features removed? Why not ” tear down the old posts and put three-inch pipe in a cement gutter, allowing the cement to extend ten feet out into the road? This would insure an acceptable place at almost any season, and it could be easily cleaned and kept clean. FINANCIAL DESTRUCTION The Merchants of this town deserve the patronage of the people of this community. They are a part, and a very important part, of the community. They pay a very considerable portion of the taxes of the town and of the county. They contribute to the support of the churches and other social institutions, and make possible many things the. community would not have if they were not here. The mail-order houses of the cities are spending thousands of dollars for the purpose of putting the country merchants of this town, and other towns, out of business, and every man who spends a dollar with them assists in the accomplishment of their selfish aim. The ultimate end of the mail-order method will be the centralizing of all the business of the country in the large cities and the financial destruction of the smaller cities and towns.

Another Turkey Creek township man is placing his name before the public as a candidate for public office. He is Ira Gans, the well know farmer of south of Syracuse, and he is a candidate for the noror ination of county recorder, subject = to the decision of the Republican r county convention. Mr. Gans has served for some time as a member ' of the township advisory board and is known as a man of good sound business judgement and with the courage to state his convictions. He is worthy of the office he asks for and we hope he is successful. 1-, ' ‘ I 1 Judge Bowser refused to grant a “ divorce to Emma Geyer from her 70-year-old husband of near Millersburg. The match was arranged through a matrimonial agency and proved highly unsatisfactory. The costs of the divorce case, including attorney fees, will reach S3OOO. “That’s what he gits for gittin’ married.” Many prophesied that as soon as Easter had made her bow we would have nice weather. It appears that these prophets will be able to say; “I told you so." We’re pulling for ’em, anyhow. | GoiTOSDondonis I Indian Village. Miss Far B. Muck.
