Their objections have been made in all sincereity and undoubtedly the noise is annoying, but we must remember that children are a necessity that we will have to abide with despite the troubles they cause us. The race is a convenient place and parents prefer that their children bathe there rather than in the lake where they may get beyond their depth. “The Old Swimmin’ Hole” has been eulogized in both poetry and prose and to take this from the child would be depriving him of a sacred birthright, one that is his by an alienable right. The lake is dangerous for a youngster; most parents consider it a menace. The race solves the question of a safe place where a mother can permit her offspring to splash and paddle without worrying every minute they are absent. Let’s consider safety first; personal objections should be second. Geo. W. Miles has again been called before the governor of this state. This time he was asked to explain why thousands of dollars ’ are being spent on lake fish hatcheries when experts, so-called, say that it is a mistake to propagate small-mouth bass in hatcheries fed entirely by lake water. The governor should be careful that in his zeal he does not, make himself rediculous. It seems that from all that can be learned the fish hatcheries at Lake Wawasee and TriLakes are proving very successful. But, when you play the game of politics you must expect to be harrassed. In the first place. Geo. W. Miles was Marshall’s choice; Ralston probably has freinds of his own and it is the belief of many that the governor is only paving the way for the appointment of one of his followers. It Isn’t necessary to go out of Syracuse to secure good lawyers but if for any reason you should, bear this in mind: If in transacting your legal business it is necesI sary to have a notice published, in-

We’ll appreciate it and the chances are that our price will be a shade lower than the other fellow’s. There Is one talking point that was overlooked by the men who recently attempted to promote an ' interurban through Syracuse. They i would only have needed to state that the cars would be equipped with unusually high steps and to remind their auditors of the fact that women's dresses are getting tighter every day. That would have brought some of them around A Nebraska inventor claims/ to have discovered a method whereby evesdropping on party telephone lines can instantly be detected and the device also indicates the number of the telephone where the receiver is down.

The man who saves and who views an ever-in-creasing bank account rarely complains or shows symptoms of discontent. There Seems to be a scarcity of flies this summer compared with other years, but at that we have received no complaints from any of our subscribers. > Gilberts.
