NO STOCK SUBSCRIBED An effort which has been made by the Gilderman Manufacturing and Foundry Company to secure stock subscriptions among local people for the manufacture of the Holland radiators has proved fruitless. There is probably not one citizen in Syracuse who even questions the financial standing of the company or the ability of the manager, Geo. W. Gilderman. But, there are so many stock certificates, that are absolutely worthless, in the hands of local people that we feel no surprise at a lack of takers for the present project. Rumor has it that the local foundry will move. Mr. Gilderman was out of town when this was written and we are unable to either confirm or deny this story. We sincerely hope the report, is unfounded and we can truthfully say that every citizen of Syracuse is of the same mind. We have heard a prominent citizen remark that the amount of the stock to be placed, $2500.00, would be gladly loaned to this company by local financiers, but the selling of that much stock would be a difficult proposition. Syracuse is reserved. While they have been pleased at the Evident progress of foundrVi they are naturally not demonstrative and possibly have not shown it, but pride in this growing industry has always been apparent and, to shorten a long story, we hope the plant remains. MAKING STRENUOUS CAMPAIGN Elias Hinderer of Eden township, Elkhart county, is making a strenuous campaign for the office of trustee. The following published under his picture in the Topeka Journal, would, in our estimation, entitle him to support from all public spirited citizens: Our roads might be much improved ‘.hroughtout the township by doing these things: By grading before graveling; by opening and keeping open all drains, ditches and culverts; by having the land poll tax worked out fully and faithfully, in proper sized gangs under a good super vison, by a careful distribution of the old and new funds to be received as taxes from the railroad and landowners, and from autos and motorcycle licenses. To the accomplishing of all this, I promise to put forth a strenuous effort. MEAT GOING HIGHER Prominent cattle commission men are prophesying that cattle will sell for $i2.00 per hundred pounds on the hoof before Christmas. They make a futher prediction that this price will be low compared with what we may expect in 1915. We have always laughed at the vegetarians but it looks like a case of “he

who laughs last, laughs best.” ■ Someone please pass us an applied tku blank for membership in the Hbnorable Order of Vegetable Eaters. We Herewith present a plum on : a large, flowered platter to the r editor of the Ligonier Banner. He - deserves it for originating more r wild news stories with less real - foundations than any editor we s know of. Far be it from us to “knock” a fellow writer, but actually this Banner man keeps us humping to follow his flights of fancy and we thought we were blessed with a man-sized imagination.
