SOUND REASONING A well-balancedsage at Harvard crowds a whole lot of sound philosophy into small space by inditing these terse truisms: Your neighbor is seldom very grateful for the worrying you do over his business. When a man’s stomach gets so large he can’t get up close to the table, it is a hint that he should eat less. The only sure-enough way to cut down the high cost of living is to' economize. I prefer a gretn, inexperienced boy to one who is too fresh, smart and already knows it all. The man whom everybody can see through is of no more account than a ghost. It takes something besides reading a cook book to make a good cook. FOODSTUFFS GOING UP Already the war in the old countries has effected prices on articles of general use in this country. Sugar has advanced $1.30 on a hundred pounds; coffee is costing from a half-cent to a cent and a quarter more a pound; beans have increased in price over a dollar a bushel; and smoked meats of all kinds are going up. This raise is not confined to foodstuffs but will be felt in clothing and other lines as well. While at present there is small danger of the United States being involved in the fracas, still we shall feel the effects of the old world’s battling. We Are not familliar with the circumstances of the local court cases which transpired in the last few days, but it seems queer, to say the least, that a common drunk should get twice the fine and costs of the wife-beater. While we have no particular liking to be accused of either, still if it were a matter of taking our choice, we would rather be accused twice over of drunkeness than to even have it hinted that we beat our wife. A reversal of the fines would seem a much fitter penalty for the offenses involved. What Has become of the barrel factories of the olden days? Twenty years ago nearly every town and village supported a cooper shop; now we cannot name a town in this vicinity that can boast of one. Drinking to excess and fighting have become a very expensive pastime in this man’s town.

Drouth Was Broken The many weeks of drouth was broken Monday afternoon by light showers. Corn in many places was too far gone to be helped. In and around Elkhart farmers are cutting their com for feed and some of it is too dead even for that purpose. Rains in the southern and eastern parts of the states on Sunday helped that portion of the but they were much heavier than we ■ had and unless more precipitation follows, crops in this section may yet suffer greatly. Another Convert? Frank Swihart informs us that he is not alone in his liking for the House of David, the religious organi ization at Benton Harbor. John J Miles made a trip there last Sunday i and now both he and Mr. Swihart i are convinced of the desirablity of belonging to this organization. It would be an awe-inspiring sight to view these two citizens in flowing j robes and uncut hair. JUSTICE COURT IS BUSY ! THREE CASES OCCUPY ATTENTION [ OVER SUNDAY i Two cases of public intoxication and one of assault and battery oci cupied the justice courts of Syracuse, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Frank Traster, more easily recognized under the appelation of “Duck” was arrested Saturday night on a charge of public intoxication and his fine and costs amounted to something like $26.00 He was unable to pay and was taken to Warsaw where he will spend 27 days the guest of the sheriff. ! Chas. Stough was taken into custody at the ball grounds, Sunday afternoon, on a charge of public intoxication and on Monday morning was assessed SIO.OO and costs, j amounting in all to $17.90. His father stayed the docket for several days and “Chub” was released. 1 Sam Kerr was arrested on a ’ charge of assault and battery, Monday morning. The charge was 1 preferred by his wife who was struck by the husband. He was ' given a fine of $5.00 and costs amounting to something over $12.00 Lake Party On Friday Mesdames L. T.

KOSCIUSKOAHS Iffl FAGESLANDER GHARbE r Mrs. Flora Juday Has Husband’s Body Exhumed For Examination Mrs. Flora Judav, of near Leesburg, was in Warsaw Friday and held a conference with Coroner Charles Kelly in which it was decided to exhume the body of Lewis Juday, husband of Mrs. Juday, who is buried in the Salem cemetery near Oswego. Mr. Juday died last December after a lingering illness and according to his widow, spiteful neighbors have circulated malicious reports to the effect that she was responsible for his death. It is claimed that the reports inferred that a slow poison had been administered to the deceased and after the examination by the coroner it is probable that suit will be filed in the circuit court against the persons guilty of circulating the reports. The body will exhumed the first of next week. W. C. T. U. Last Friday evening the W. C. T. U. held their regular meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chriss Darr with a fine attendance. The subject for the meeting was, * ‘Obstacles in the Wav of Ballots for Women in Indiana.” There were several short readings and speeches on the subject and it was decided that women themselves were the greatest obstacle in the way. Miss Goldie Mathews and Joy Deardorff added much to the enjoyment of the evening by their music and selected readings. Southern Auto Trip Milton Rentfrow and wife and S. A. Bauer and wife, of South,Bend, left Monday morning for Athens, Alabama, to visit Mr. Bauer’s former home and people. They are making the trip in ah auto and will visit Mammoth Cave and other places of interest. They intended to spend Monday night with Mr. and Mrs. McCullough, of Indianapolis.
