The paving opportunity of a life time is slipping by Syracuse. The members of the town board are ready and willing to push it through but unless some of the business men and property owners show a disposition to accept the proposition made by the cement company the board feels some reluctuance towards taking the initiative. One of the board members took the trouble, Tuesday, to inform what people he could find whom he thought would be interested that the matter would be taken up that evening. Not one person appeared. This was not encouraging. The board realizes that there will be some opposition, and unless there is some support to offset this opposition the thing might as well be dropped. Syracuse will probably never again receive as good an offer. The cement worksagrees to furnish cement for three blocks of paving, an engineer to superintend the construction, and will transport gravel from the Deeter pit to the B. &. 0. tracks, absolutely free. This means that the entire cost to the property owner will be only about $50.00 for a 22foot front. The town board is ready to push the project. A petition will be circulated but unless there is some indication that the paving is wanted, the matter will be dropped. And the dropping ot so generous an offer will be one of the biggest mistakes ever made by Syracuse citizens. THE TRUTH . At times we feel coming over'us an insinuous, overwhelming temptation to publish one issue of the Journal containing “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” By this we do not mean to accuse ourselves of getting out an untruthful paper; we do, however, g oss over and overlook many crooked defects in both people and things tnat would mean a wailing and gnashing of of teeth were we to mention them. As we said before, some day this temptation tc 5 spout facts is going to overcome our sense of discretion. The greatest hindrance we can see to this satisfying of a great longing woulc be the difficulty in securing enougt evtra comnositors and our inability to securing a press large enough,

[ QUANTITY VS. QUALITY Agricultural experts unanimously agree that the small farm pays much better in proportion. There is a disposition among farmers to see how much acreage they can till rather than how much quality they can obtain. Sixty acres cultivated with the care and time which can be given that number of acres will yield a larger net profit than one hundred acres where a rush is always in progress to get the seed in the ground and the weeds out. Less extension, more concentration is needed. It Has been pretty Well established bv statistics that Argentina is not likely to be much of a competitor of the United States in the matter of food supplies. The statistics show that the total import of beef have less than four per cent of that of the supply of our own country. The corn shipments into the United States are less than three per cent when figured in connection with (he entire supply. The farmers of the United States will never have occasion to fear the competion of Argentina. What the American people should hope for is that our farms may produce enough to supply our needs in abundance. It is quite evident that our population is increasing more rapidly than the production of food supplies. The London police probably have been strangers to astonishment for at least a year. They have met the fury of ladies in many activities and they accept the most untoward event as the commonplace of a day’s work. Wondering what the ladies do next has ceased to have thrills. Speculation is easily answered: | Anything. Nevertheless, something very like an emotion must have started in the seasoned policeman who had his suspenders cut by the lady he was taking into custody. These, indeed, are superwomen. They have no inhibitions. The policeman, being a man, had his limitations. He let go of his prisoner and caught hold of his trousers. The combat was unequal. A Temperance Lesson A temperance lesson was administered to one of the town’s habitual drunkards, Tuesday night, and it is hoped that it will prove effective. Marshal Hire received a telephone call about midnight saying that a man and a child were sleeping on the lawn of a residence , near the Evangelical church Upon arriving there “Shorty” Pennsinger and one of his children were found asleep. The father had become intoxicated and had started home with the youngster. He was overcome by sleep and the child, not knowing what else to do, lav down beside of him. The father was taken to the lock-up and later a few of our citizens visited him there in an effort to impress upon him the error of his way. “Shorty” persisted in laughing at them. He was taken to the race banks and thrown in and after wading to shore he began to see that the affair was serious and his promise was obtained to abstain from liquor for a period of six months. We hope the lesson will prove lasting. Soft Drink Parlor —B. A. Holton will reopen the ! rooms where the saloon was con- • ducted and will handle cigars, ; tobacco, pop, and temperance } drinks. The temperance drinks ‘ which he will sell has been guarJ anteed to him by the manufacturers 3 as positively non-intoxicating. He i has expressed the intention of obey- , ing the law in every particular and he asks that he be promptly notiI fied if there is any suspicion that the goods he sells are unlawful. g e Must Be Signed We must again insist that items 0 dropped in the box at the foot of e the Journal stairs be signed. An item was taken from the box Mons day morning but as the signature 0 was omitted we are unable to give , it place in our columns, n y Mrs. Carrie Kingsley of Kalamazoo, Mich., is visiting in Syracuse,

I NOTED WESTERN REFORM GOVERNOR WHO WILL j SPEAK SECOND DAY OF CHAUTAUQUA ■ <l. -- \ ■ POIBiw mF ‘ ■ Uh. « GOVERNOR ROBERT S. VESSEY.

HE demand has grown among the Chautauqua patrons for at least one “headliner” upon each program. While the term admits of various meanings, it is generally understood that a “headliner” is a man who has achieved pre-eminence in some field of human affairs. To have

TP 1

been the governor of a sovereign state ought to entitle any man to prominence enough. But to have been twice governor confers more than double honor and distinction; also to have been a governor universally loved and respected at the close of his two administrations is cause for lifelong gratification. Governor Robert S. Vessey, ripe in years, rich in experience and humanitarian in purpose, came to the Chautauqua platform two years ago to give to the great audiences a few principles of conduct which he estimates are worth “thinking over.’’ Governor Vessey denies that he is an orator. He modestly says his purpose is simply to emphasize some wholesome but homely truths which he believes will if followed out lead to a better world and better people. In the truest sense of the word we believe that he is an orator. He is a stalwart defender of the home, the school and the church. He is interested in the young. He honors the aged. He was the first governor of the United States to proclaim “Mother’s day” a legal holiday. He is the enemy of graft, corruption and dishonesty. In his rugged though kindly fashion he wields sledgehammer blows at all that has the appearance of evil.. His audiences love the man, heed his messages and heartily approve his lectures. No one should miss hearing Governor Vessey on the second night of our Chautauqua.

SOME FARMERS ' GET HALFGROP The Hessian Fly Greatly Injures Wheat In This ; Section ’ 1 . 1 The Hessian fly is probably the ( most destructive insect to wheat, ( rye and barley with which the far- , mer has to contend. It seems to < prefer wheat, but it is not uncommon, during seasons when the fly ( is abundant, for a large per cent, of the rve and barley crops to be destroyed. Oats are seldom if ever , attacked by this fly. Some of the wheat has been in- ( fected in this vicinity and some has not. Ivan Moats secured only 523 , bushels of wheat from 70 acres. , Dave Brown had 73 acres which yielded 900 bushels. Alfred Ott , had an average of about 1214 bus- , hels to the acre. The best yield that has been reported to us this season is that of Cal Stump. He , had an average yield of 35 bushels to the acre. Will Shut Off Water For sometime it has been almost 1 impossible to keep sufficient water in the town tank to keep up a pressure over night. Tuesday evening MarshalSHire made a tour of in- , spection and found a number using water after the hours allowed. A second inspection will be made soon ’ and water will be turned off at resi- , dences where it used in defiance to the rules set by the town board. > Inspect Local Library I Forty Winona students and their Miss Young, visited the t local library, one day last week, and inspected the specimens displaced there. They expressed surprise at the scope and excellence of our exhibit. The class was on a 3 field tour inspecting the geology of f this portion of Kosciusko county. 3 e In Chicago Hospital e John Mauzy, employed at Pottenger Bros., was taken to Chicago, Monday, and an operation will be - performed for a diseased bone in his left leg.

Nulf, serving a thirty-day sentence for robbing freight cars, was at Goshen last week to see if the young prisoner could not be released and permitted to visit his aged father near Cromwell, who has not been able to sleep since his son got into trouble. “Not only father, who is up in the seventies, but grandfather, 96, is greatly worried over Levi’s trouble,” said Louis, “and we fear that the result may be serious.” Levi Nulf has had troubles of his own. He was wounded in the civil war, where he served with distinction, and four years ago lost an eve bv the careless discharge of a sky-rocket in the hands of a Cromwell youth. The grandfather is still active at 96 years. In County Jail Lawrence Mock, of North Webster, is confined in the Kosciusko county jail, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill. The warrant for his arrest was procured by Bert Himes, also of North Webster, who was attacked by Mock Saturday afternoon. It is said that the trouble is the result ot enmity of long standing between the two men. Mock had been drinking on Saturday and when he met Himes in front of the restaurant where he is employed a quarrel ensued. Himes is a professional wrestler and in the fight that followed had the best of it. But when he started to enter the restaurant he was followed by Mock, who had a knife in his hand, and a second conflict took place. Himes was badly cut about the head. Officers from Warsaw were summoned and arrested Mock, who failed to give bond for SI,OOO. —Cold soft drinks are always ready to serve at Vawter Park Hotel. J. W.
