HONOR THEM NOW Posterity owes a life time of honor and respect to the soldiers who so valiantly fought for the preservation of that great American phrase, "Equal Rights to All. The Grand Army of the Republic is fast dwindling. Soon only their memories will be left. Let us show respect and honor while they are •among us—it is little enough pay for their great hardship and sacrifices, so let us mete it out generously and whole-heartedlv. By honor and respect we do not mean only the decorating of our houses nor only the cessation of work, but. we mean the particiption of all in the exercises and the march to cemetery. We can’t show our re- ' spect by sitting on our front porches waiting for the procession to e move by, nor can we show it by fishing, boat-riding, and other sports These sports have nothing against them in the morning of Decoration Dav, but in the afternoon let us devote our time helping the veterans decorate the graves of their comrades. A half-day is little enough to give these heroes; let us give it to them in its entirety. We Don't believe that it would be possible to find much worse roads in Indiana than are to be found in this portion of the country. There are many bad places and among the most glaring is the Jud ay Hill east of Syracuse—it is almost impassable. There is something radically wrong with our system of road building. We do not know where the trouble lies, but we would appreciate information. If any of the road supervisors in this vicinity have anything to say on this question we would be glad to hear from them. Marshal E. W. Hire is making a determined effort to stop this speeding through our streets. Autoists have become emboldened by lax enforcement of the speed laws and go through Syracuse at speeds rangiog from ten to fifty miles an-hour. This means danger to pedestrians and children —especially the latter an d hereafter it will not be tolerated. A Nappanee man was the first to be hailed before the court, but it is not probable that he will be the last. Beware!

ENJOYABLE ALUMNI RECEPTION ANNUAL EVENT A VERY PLEASING ONE One of the most enjoyable events of the year in connection with the closing of the schools is the H. S. Alumni reception which is given the graduates each year. It means the renewal of friendship, the meeting of old classmates and teachers and the awakening of memories of the "days gone by." The reception this year was held immediately after the commencement exercises in the H. S. building. The guests were received in the lower hall which was beautifully decorated. The banquet tables were spread on the upper floor. At the close of a delicious repast, phe roll was called. A number of letters from absent members were read, among them were interesting ones from Harry C. Groves of Calumet Mich., Mabie H. Armstrong San Juan, P. R. Mary, Ruth and Preston Mils, Indianapolis, Lillian Hammon, Terre Haute, Milford Bare, Richmond, and Myrtle Ferris, Erie, Penn. Mrs. Myrtle Rothenberger president of the association made an excellent toast mistress, and in response to her request a number of toasts were given. The Sack Orchestra of Ligonier furnished the music and this was one of the most enjoyable features of the evening. The Alumni and their 'guests departed at an early hour Saturday morning for their homes, each one feeling this was an association that should be perpetuated from year to year. G reat credit is reflected on the number of loyal Alumni members, who each year spend much time and effort that the meeting may be a success. Blind Fisherman Clarence Brumbaugh, called the "blind fisherman” of Churubusco, made a catch at High lake, Noble county that lays it over all fishermen who have their eyesight. He caught a black bass that weighed 6% pounds. Mr. Brumbaugh is certainly a wonder as a fisherman and is thoroughly acquainted with all the lakes in that section of the country. By intuition he knows the deep places, shores and sand bars in the lakes, and can even tell the man who rows the boat better where to go to find bass than the average fisherman who can see. He knows where and how and nearly always far outstrips the other fishermen in the amount of his catch. Attend Funeral at Ligonier The following attended the funeral of Mrs. A. U. Miller which was held at Ligonier Saturday morning at 10 o’clock: Mr. and Mrs. Sol Miller and son, Junior, S. L. Ketring, J. H. Miller and daughter, Frances, and Samuel Searfoss.

The shoes are made to look well, and in addition they are made for comfort. Re member your shoes make up fifty per cent, of your personal appearance—shapeless shoes will spoil the looks of the most careful dresser. For both ladies and gentlemen, we have the most comprehensive stock of shoes and oxfords w e ever carried. The prices are reasonable and we live right here in Syracuse—you know where to take them if they aren’t right. Star Clothing Store

Big Stack Blown Down The 80 foot sheet iron smoke stack being erected over the municipal light and power plant at Albion, was blown to the ground, just as the workmen were finishing their work. None was injured. Who Is Lillie Lake? There is a letter in the local post office mailed on the U. S. S. Michigan and postmarked Vera Cruz, Mexico, addressed to Miss Lillie Lake, or at least the name looks as though it was meant for Lake. Postmaster Hoopingarner knows no one by that name and if anyone who reads this has any information it would be well to communicate with the local post office.
