Eberhart, Jr., of Mishawaka Will Erect Handsom Cottage J. C. Eberhart, Jr., vice-president of a Mishawaka bank, and a large stockholder in the Mishawaka Rubber Co., has purchased two lake lots of S. L. Ketring, for a summer home. The lots are located just west of the Ditton Hotel, and were sold by Mr. Ketring for $llOO. On Saturday, Mr. Eberhart and a contractor were at the lake and staked off a foundation for a handsome cottage. The blue print was left with Raymond Vorhis.who will figure on the concrete work. Mr. Eberhart’s erection of a summer home on Lake Wawasee, is gratifying, not so much from the fact that he is a millionaire, but more from a knowledge of the philanthrophic uses to which he puts his money. The fine church in which the M. E. Conference was held at Mishawaka, this spring, was a gift from this man and his brothers and cost SIOO,OOO. Mr. Eberhart’s coming will probably bring many of his friends and associates and is epoch-making in the way of lake advancement.

IUBI of LMbESI WSS IN HISTORY % County Graduating Class Will Number Three Hundred and Five The county graduating class will number 305, being the largest in the entire history of the county. The former high water mark was 287. This county has the reputation of having the largest county graduating classes in Indiana. Even with classes of from 250 to 287, the county was a Itader in the state. This year,with a class numbering 305, it is likely that Kolciusko county will tower head and shoulders over anv other county. Following the first examination, Superintendent Edson B. Sarber expressed the belief that the class would number about 250. The pupils, who failed on the first examination, showed unusual interest and at the second writing an unusually large proportion made passing grades. The commencement exercises will be held at Winona Lake on Saturday, June 6. Superintendent Sarber announced on Friday morning that Harry Bowser, of Indianapolis, has been engaged as the speaker. His subject will be“ Heart Smiles.” Mr. Bowser, who is of the Radcliffe Lyceum bureau, comes highly recommended. He is said to be a speaker who has genuine wit and humor to keep his audience in a constant roar of laughter and who combines with his nonsense a great amount of good common sense and who has a message that is beneficial. The committee has engaged the Silver Lake band to furnish music during the day. Other music will also be engaged and the program promisis to be an one. TEMPERAN6E ESSAY CONTEST EACH OF EIGHT ESSAYISTS RECEIVE ONE DOLLAR The temperance essay contest last week at the M. E. Church, 1 under the auspices of the W. C. T. U. was a splendid success. The papers all showed the subjects had been carefully studied and prepared and the readings were good. Each of the eight High School essayists received one dollar prize as being the first and second best of their respective classes, while the best two from each of the 7th and Bth ! grades received 50 cts each. These prizes were gift of the local W. C» * T. U. and a friend. Music was ■ rendered by the Men’s Quartette, the High School Chorus, with solos ’ by Catherine Rapp and Mrs. Cloud, k —“When the days begin to * lengthen, then the cold begins to strengthen,” and we feel the need of heartier food like buckwheat > cakes.

GEMS OF THOUGHT. There is an education that comes to the soul from vital faith in God and a power for g»x>d upon society that abstract right cannot give: that in athe- - istie or agnostic morality, set upon the pinnacle of altruism, is utterly unable to supply.—George A. Gordon. The good never dies. Evil dies. Cruelty, oppression, selfishness, greed—these die, but nobility, love, sacrifice, generosity, truth, thank God for it. small as they are, difficult as it is to discover them—these live forever; these are eternal.—Frank Norris. I believe freedom to be the first condition of moral life. It needs, however, to be accompanied by much instruction. It is like money in this—that in order to profit by it one must know how to use it properly.—Julia Ward Howe. SAMUEL GEORGE ABANDONS PROJECT Interurban As fairs Taken Over by Well Known Local Men Dr. S. F. George *who has been in and around Syracuse for several months working to promote a survey of an interurban has abandoned the project and returned to his home in Dayton. While Mr. George was to all intents honest and sincere, his talents were not particularly suited to the work at hand, and for some time it has been predicted that his efforts would be fruitless. This does not end the railway matter, however, by any means. The local men who have been interested have expressed their determination of going right along with the work. Heretofore, they have been depending on Dr. George, but with his departure, it is probable that our home men will actively engage in pushing the original plans. On Monday a party of men went by automobile from Syracuse to Churubusco with a view to looking over the route and talking the matter with people who might be interested. There never has been an interurban built in a year. The writei remembers when the Fostoria Tiffin (Ohio) electric line was built. It was a matter of five years from the time of its inception until it was built, owing to numerous objections and delays. Now that this line is going, you couldn’t take it away from these two towns if you would give them twenty times what it cost. And that is just the way we will feel if we are fortunate enough to get a road. New Passenger Boat The new forty-foot passenger boat under construction at the Searfoss Boat Factory for “Shorty” Braker, will probably be ready for the water the latter part of next week. The boat is powered with a four-cylinder Oswald engine, which is made at Goshen, and is rated at from 30 to 35 horse-power. The boat has a beam of seven and a half feet and will carry 40 passengers. It is finished in green and will be, when finished, a subatantial and good looking craft. Not So Doggone Big In last week’s Indianian, under the heading of “Land Two Big Pickerel” the paper tells of a three and a four-pound pickerel being caught in Center Lake. A fish that size is a common thing around Syracuse. Will Retain Management C. E. Bishop will retain management of the Wawassee Marine Supply Company, which is subsidary to the Wawasee Inn Company. INVALID JVeTtWO YEARS FINALLY SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES RECEIVED ON B. & O. After living over two years with a broken back, Samuel F. Mavfiield died at his home in Cromwell, Tuesday evening of last week. In December of 1911, he was thrown from a box car at Bremen and has never had the use of his limbs since. He and his wife spent last summer at their cottage at Wawasee and Mr. Mayfield had the fortitude to fish. At other times he lay beside the window, facing the lake, smoking his pipe and reading.

Miles, state fish and game commissioner, and Captain Casidy, head of the deputies of southern Indiana, arrived in Ft. Wayne, Monday morning, and were brought in the department’s automobile by Captain Fleming to Wawasee lake so that the southern officer might get an idea of the sort of location needed for a big-mouth bass hatchery, one of which is to be placed in his territory.
