Learning without thought is , labor tost. Thought without learning is perilous.—Confucius. He might be a very clever man by nature, for all I know, but he laid so many books upon his 1 head that his brains could not move.—Halt Histories make meh wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtile;. natural philosophy, deep; morals, grav logic and rhetoric, able to contend.—Bacon. No man is wiser for his learning. Wit and wisdom are born with a man.—Selden. • Instruction does not prevent waste of time or mistakes, and mistakes themselves are often the best teachers of all.—Froude. CARE THAT PAYS There Is a barn just west of Nappanee that has been built for 38 years and in appearance it looks good for nearly as many years more. The secret of its long life can be mainly attributed to frequent painting and to prompt repairing. A building, a piece of machinery, or a business will disintegrate exceedingly fast if it is not,constatly furbished and brightened. Careful upkeep will greatly lessen the percentage of depreciation. Big business has long recognized this fact. One example is the railroads who continually employ painting and repairing gangs. Depreciation is just as important an item to the farmer and small business man as it is to their more wealthy brethren but it is quite often an unconsidered factor. Indian Hill has long been recognized as the swimming hole belonging exclusively to the bather who scorned to wear a bathing suit, preferring his dip in nude state. This privilege has never been molested. But, there is growing inclination on the part of some to use the channel at the railroad bridge for a similar purpose. This must stop. Small boys are diving towards launches as they go for the bridge and some day serious injury will be sustained by this practice. In addition, no one cares to take a party of people through this channel while naked men and boys make a pretense of hiding their bodies in a couple feet of water. Several complaints have been lodged aud prosecutions may follow if the obscenity is not discontinued. /

THETDWN BOARD MAYJAKE ACTION Some Advise Trustees To .Order Paving At Next Meeting It is possible that on next Tuesday evening the town board will take decisive steps in the matter of paving. W. W. Wheeler attended the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Sandusky Portland Cement Company and they ratified the pr oposal made to the town of Syracuse. There are some property owners who are hanging back on the proposition and some of our citizens have advised the town board to pass a resolution accepting the cement company’s offer and to start immediately to getting the water mains and their extensions ready for the placing of the concrete streets. The above plan will probably be followed and then if there is sufficient objection to get a remonstrance containing eighty percent of the property owners, of course negotiations will cease at once. It is thought however, that there will be nothing near this much opposition and it is believed that paving operations will begin in the near future. Lost In Channel Mrs. Redmond and a daughter and son, of Chicago, who are staying at Oakwood Park, rowed to Syracuse Monday evening and on returning darkness overtook them while negotiating the winding way of the old channel. They became lost and after two hours managed to get back into Syracuse Lake and rowed back to the public dock. They stopped at the S. L. Ketring residence and explained their predicament and a machine was called from the Lepper Garage which transported them to Oakwood Park. The woman was nearly in a state of colapse when she reached the Ketring home. New Hog Disease A new hog disease is reported from the Kimmell neighborhood. It affects the spine and a veterinary declares that it is caused by a germ taken into the system from the dry brown grass and dust. It has been fatal in most cases. Already Gloyd brothers have lost thirty hogs from the disease and Stanley Surface has lost quite a number. Other farmers report small losses. Every effort is being made to prevent the spreading of the contagion.—Albion New Era. Denies Shooting. —The storv that “Jackkie” Weaver told of being shot at near our hotel is a lie and nothing else. We are trying to run our dances in a respectable manner and we are not responsible for the stories started by jealous fools. We also wish to say that all preachers and others are invited to come down and look on and they need not peek in the windows as they have done occasionally. Mrs. Susie Searfoss J. V. Brissell Chautauqua Successful The Chautauqua is drawing good crowds and the program seems to be well received. The local committee have succeeded in disposing of enough tickets to guarautee the financial success of the entertainment. An effort will be made to place the Chautauqua here next summer. Resigns Position E. F. Horner has resigned his position at the Quality Drug Store. He has been offered a similar place at Columbia City but will not accept at the present at least. Mr. Horner will take a short rest before deciding on his future course. Belated Mention The Journal neglected to mention the benches placed near the public dock several weeks ago by the State Bank of Syracuse. The lake people find them a great convenience while waiting to disembark for points on Lake Wawasee. Operation For Gall Stones Mrs. Warren Robb was taken to Chicago, Tuesday afternoon, for an operation for gall stones.

Postmaster At New Paris The New Paris postoffice, for which Grover Cleveland Tarman, democrat, son of John Tarman of that place, has been appointed postmaster, succeeding Robert A.

It was originally known as Jackson, this name having been maintained for over 12 years—until Sept. 16, 1852, when it was changed to New Paris. The first postmaster was Joseph Cowan. At the time the name was changed from Jack* son to New Paris, Thomas was the postmaster. Good Price For Oionns Onion buyers from Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, St. Louis, Cleveland and other large trade centers are making trips to the onion growing sections of Kosciusko county and are contracting for this year’s crop. The prices offered are very satisfactory. White onions are selling at from $1.20 to $2 a bushel. Red and yellow onions are being sold from prices ranging up to 80 cents a bushel. What Is The Reason? Up until this week you could look down the street most any time and see members of the ball club tossing the horse-hide about. This week we haven’t seen a baseball or anyone who would admit that they were a member of the base ball dub. It is possible, do you suppose, that that 24 to 0 score with Bremen last Sunday caused this sudden bashfullness? A Stray Dos When Wm. Beckman went to dose his rooms above the news stand Tuesday, he found a stray dog in possession of the premises. Marshal Hire was called and the animal was, taken to the pump house.
