Syracuse By Iva Deardorff Ave Benner is absent from school on account of sickness. Morris Winsor visited in the grades this week. He is staying with his grandmother at present. The Junior-Senior Reception will will be given next Saturday evening at the school house. This is the begining of the end, we may say, for the Seniors. The Freshmen will give a class party Friday evening at the home of Ida Carlson. The Freshmen are bidding farewell to their first high school year. Wish we could help them celebrate. High school examinations will begin Monday afternoon of next week. Beware. The better-half program which was postponed last week will be given this coming Friday. This will be the last literary program this school year. Picnics are again in the natural order of affairs but the weather man seems to have cast his disapproving eye on such frivolities. The Freshman Class picnic had to be changed to a party to pacify him in the least. Work for the exhibition is being prepared. The exhibition will be open to the public next Wednesday afternoon only. Pauline Mock has withdrawn from Miss Potts room. Many pupils are absent on account of inclement weather. A number of our boys will take part in the track meet at Bremen, next Saturday, May 16. It will be held at the Fair Grounds. Admission 25c. The usual events such as Running races, Pole vault, Shotput, High and Broad Jump, Discus Throw and Hurdling are scheduled. The boys say come and help Syracuse Win. A friend of Miss Branham’s spent ■ Sunday with her. The best dramatizations of A Tale of Two Cities were those of Julia Bishop and Ethel Bowser. The sewing classes are finishing their work and expect to have their pictures taken in the dresses they made. The English charts which Charles Rentfrow and Orlan Stiffler made have been viewed with much interest by students since there was a great deal of originality portrayed in the work. The debate between the Sophomore and Freshman classes Friday will be upon the following subject: Resolved that Washington was a greater man than Lincoln. This is an old and never ending theme. A complete dramatization of A Tale of Two Cities will be given Monday morning in the Sophomore class. * G-ilberts. Mrs. Calvin Cooper Sunday school next Sunday evening at the usual hour.

“FAGGED-OUT 5 WOMEN Will Find Help in This Letter. Overworked, run down, “fagged out” women who feel as though they could hardly drag about, should profit by Mrs. Brill’3 experience. She says: “I was in a very weak, run-down condition. * Life was not worth living. I could not sleep, was very nervous, stomach bad, and was not able to work. “I consulted with one or two physicians, without benefit. I read of Vinol helping some one in a similar condition so I began to take it, and it simply did wonders for me. I gained in weight and I am now in better health and stronger than ever. I can not find words enough to praise Vinol.”—Mrs. W. H. Brill, Racine, Wls. Thousands of women and men who were formerly weak and sickly owe their present rugged health to the wonderful strength-creating effects of Vinol. We guarantee Vinol to build you up and make you strong. If it does not we give back your money. Quality Drug Store, Syracuse

DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS WM. BARE FINALLY SUCUMBS TO PERNICIOUS ANEMIA Wm. Bare who has been ill for the past six months passed away Monday morning at 2:30 of pernicious anemia. He first became sick last November and since the fore part of April has been bedfast. Wm. H. Bare was born in Seneca county, Ohio, on June 24,1854, and was aged 59 years, 10 mouths, 17 days. He was united in marriage to Elizabeth Richards on Oct 13,1875 to which union were born six children, four sons and two daughters. Mr. Bare with his family came to Syracuse in 1905 and at the time of his taking sick was an employee at the Searfoss Boat Factory. The deceased was converted when a young man and united with the U. B. Church of which he has been a faithful member. Besids his immediate familv he leaves to mourn his departure an aged mother, one brother, one sister, twelve grandchildren, other relatives and a host of friends. A short funeral service was held at the home on Wednesday morning and the body was then taken to Tiffin, Ohio, for burial. Barn Bbrned During the electrical storm Monday morning, lightning hit the barn belonging to David *oner. at Millerburg. It burned to the ground. A cgw was saved, but hay and grain were consumed, the loss is about SSOO. Household Goods The undersigned will sell at public auction on Saturday, May 19, side board, book case, dining and kitchen chairs, rockers, kitchen cabinet, stoves, dresser, dining and kitchen tables, couch, rugs and linoleum. John Bailey, Earnest Richhart, Auc. Hunting The Elusive Mushroom One of the most dangerous and at the same time most fascinating of sports is the hunting of mushrooms. So many people are victims of this attractive pastime that it behooves us to offer a few suggestions. Preparations for bunting mushrooms should be begun about the last of April. First supply yourself with a flour sack, not too large, and a tooth-pick. The flour sack is used to cage the captured fungus and the purpose of the tooth-pick will be explained futher on. A rich woods in which elm and ash predominate should be selected as a hunting ground. A stealthy entrance to the chosen woods should be effected promptly at five a. m., as at this hour the prev is sleeping its soundest. Craftily sneak up behind the unsuspecting mushroom, grasp it firmly behind the ears, and with a quick motion twist its head sharply to the right. This will cause it to open wide its mouth; and now is where the tooth-pick plays its part. With a rapid jab, thrust the tooth, pick through the tongue of the mushroom and into its lower jawThis will effectively eliminate any chance of its biting, which has proved fatal to so many hunters. Repeat this method until you have six or seven of these vicious little tid-bits in your flour sack. Then proceed home; have vour cook prepare them to eat, and afterwards appear on the streets smacking your iips, and dealingout the information to the fellows that only that morning you went out and secured a half-bushel basket of mushrooms. There may be other systems but we have found this one the best.
