SWIMS ACROSS BIG LAKE MUSICIAN GOES FROM VAWTER PARK TO INN Geo. Kristufek, one of the musicians at the Wawasee Inn, last week swam from the Vawter Park Hotel to Wawasee Inn, a distance of over two miles. This feat has been accomplished before but not so often but what a man may be allowed to boast a little when he “pulls it off.”

Doesn’t Like Kansas A friend here has received a letter from Barney Duehr, who is at Altoona, Jansas, saying that he doesn’t like the country. Barney has purchased an interest in a fruit orchard in Virginia and will go there in about a month. Find Plow Point " The dredge at Wawasee lake 4 brought up a plow point while dredging in 13 feet of water last week. Birth An eight pound son made its appearance at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Merritt Lung, Thursday. ; NEVER IT LAKE WAWASEE ? GOVERNOR RALSTON EXPRESSED DESIRE TO COME < , 1 ! i i While at Goshen last week. Governor Ralston remarked: "If I were not so pressed for time I would goto Wawasee lake," said I the governor. "Although I have 1 heard much about the lake, the ' largest in the state, I have never ‘ seen it. A few weeks ago I read ' in several newspapers that I in- ! spected a fish hatchery at Wawasee, but the inspection was not made by ’ me. Before the summer is over I hope to get there.” 5 •Buggy Wrecked i Merrice Sharp, Pearl Galloway, Hugh Hicks and Brady Miller had r a narrow escape from serious injury when their buggy was wrecked near the Inn, last week. All es- f caped with numerous bruises and a ( broken buggy and harness. ( Fresh Air Children g Sixteen fresh air children from . Chicago came to Syracuse, Monday, i I and were met by a delegation of j North Webster people in five auto- v mobiles. The children were taken 1 to that village and will be enter- I ! tained by residents there. i

Flowering Radishes One of our townsmen, who has a * beautiful residence and an equally nice lawn, received a package of seeds recently from an annonymous sender. They were accompanied * by full directions for planting and were supposed by the recipient to be something exceptionally fine. Instructions were carefully followed, but imagine Sile’s surprise when I the supposedly rare flowers grew , up into slender white radishes. Big Cat Fish I Fishing with a hook and line in i the Wabash river at Lafayette, i Theodore Sears, a hotel man, caught . a 20 pound catfish, the largest ever known there. It was two feet, nine i inches long. I TUBERCULOSIS CENSUS MINISTERS WILL BEE ASKED FOR INFORMATION I A Tuberculosis Census of thousands of churches in various parts of the country will be taken in September, under the direction of The National Association for the Study : and Prevention of Tuberculosis, i The cenus will be part of the pre- ! paration for the Fifth Annual Tuber- : culosis Day to be observed during f the week of November 29th. i The ministers of several thousand churches will be asked to report on the number of deaths from tuberculosis in the last year, the number of living cases in their parishes on September Ist, the number of deaths from all causes, and the number of members or communicants. These figures will be made the basis of an educational campaign, which will culminate in the Tuberculosis Day movement, for which occasion sermon and lecture outlines and other forms of tuberculosis literature will be distributed free to ministers. Last year nearly 75,000 churches, schools, and other bodies took ptui in the Tuberculosis Day observance. The movement had the endorsement of leading church officials of every denomination. More than 1200 anti-tuberculosis societies scattered all over the country will work this year to make Tuberculosis Day a success. “ SUES TOWN OF MILFORD T. R. NORTH FIGHTING VILLAGE IMPROVEMENTS Suit was filed Thursday morning in the Kosciusko circuit court by T. R. North of Milford, against the town of Milford, Charles S. Brittsan, James T. Shepard, James F. Peterson and Anthony F. Forbing. In the complaint it is claimed that the men named in the suit were not duly elected and never qualified as officials of Milford, and that the resolution passed by them on April 6, 1914, providing for the construction of a sewer and for street pavements was not in order. The court is asked to enjoin the town of Milford from proceeding with the improvement. A suit was filed recently by Prosecuting Attorney T. Wayne Anglin asking that officials of the town be ousted because of their alleged illegal election to office. “Lark” Engine installed The six-cylinder, 100-horse power engine which was taken from the boat, "Lark," last fall, has been overhauled and put back. This boat made the fastest time, last summer, ever made bv a boat on Lake Wawasee. Her speed was : estimated at 28 miles an hour. j SYRACUSE BEATS GOSHEN ; WINS FROM VISITING TEAM BY ] SCORE » TO 7 — W The Syracuse Greys with a reenforced lineup defeated the Goshen ] Greys on the local diamond, Sun- ( day, by a score of 9 and 7.

WILL BEnHM JEU O Central Chautauqua System Secures Over Four Hundred Pledges. About 425 ticket pledges were secured by the Central Chautauqua System for a return of the Chautauqua, next summer. The entertainments gave good satisfaction this summer and little trouble was encountered in getting tickets pledged for next season. The local committee succeeded in disposing of their tickets this year with the exception of one full and one half ticket and with the single admission receipts will be able to pav expenses and a very little over. Dr. Geo. P. Bible, Harry G. Hill and Judge James A. Collins gave fine lectures and were well received. Gov. Robt. S. Vessey was not quite so well liked. His talk lacked punch. The musical numbers were all pleasing as were the impersonations of C. Lawrence Abbott and Miss Elma B. Smith. Prof. Frank A. Gause, in his illustrated lecture on Panama, gave an interesting session to his hearers and told of things not generally known of the great canal country. Taken as a whole the talent was acceptable to nearly all the auditors and general satisfaction was expressed by the ticket-holders. THE 31ST ANNUAL REUNION AT NORTH WEBSTER ON AUGUST 19TH AND 20TH The 31st annual reunion of the 30th Indiana Veteran Regiment Association will be held at North Webster on August 19th and 20tb. Sixteen years ago this regiment held reunion at North Webster and received such generous treatement that most of them are looking forward with pleasure to being entertained again by the citizens of that town. A fine program has been arranged. Music will be furnished by the North Webster band and an address will be made by Judge S. M. Hench. Watermelons To Suffer Unless rains come soon, the watermelon crop will be cut short. Cucumbers are suffering for want of moisture and there will be very few pickles, growers say. It is expected that high prices will prevail for vegetables and fruit on account of the drouth. Traffic Managers At Inn A number of the traffic managers of railroads having headquarters in Chicago, were at the Inn last week making up new schedules and enjoying lake amusements. —Alsyke and timothy seed for sale by A.
