Band Concerts The first band concert of the season was held .Wednesday night. The band is making a commendable effort to draw crowds to Syracuse and should be helped in every way. They sent notices to all ot the rural route patrons out of Syracuse and if the merchants will co-operate with them this weekly concert can be made beneficial as well as enjoyable. We believe, however, that Thursday evening would be better than Wednesday. The Journal goes out on the routes Thursday morning and would be glad to print the muscial program and any special prices that the merchants would care to offer as an inducement to the farmers to attend. A New System N. P. Hoffman has evolved what he calls a “fish barometer.” Nick recently secured a bowl of gold fish and by watching them he is able to tell just when he can expect to go out on the lake and catch a mess of fish. When the gold fish are sluggish and lazy, it is waste of time to try to catch bass, but when they dart around their glass cage, then look out, the bass will swallow hook, line, and sinker. He is thinking of having his “barometer” patented.

Buick Cars —To those of us who have been in touch with civilization all our 'lives, there is nothing very wonderful in the railway train, the electric street car, the telephone, the wireless telegraph, the automobile and the flying machine. Imagine, though, if you can, being an old man and seeing all these things for the first time in a period of less than two weeks. This very thing was experienced a few days ago by a man 92 years old. The man’s name is Many Tail Feathers. He is a fullblooded Indian and a member of the Blackfoot tribe, whose reservation adjoins the Glacier National Park. Al any Tail Feathers is one of six delegates sent to the Pana-ma-Pacific Exposition to take part in the dedication of the Great Northern Railway Company's Building. A big six-cylinder Buick valvein head automobile took the party, consisting of Many Tail Feathers, Chief Eagle Calf, Chief Medicine Owl, Fish Wolf Robe, Paul White Horses, Johnnie Red Eagle, two squaws and a papoose, oqt .through Park, then out the great highway, where Cy Christofferson gave the strange visitors an exhibition of flying in his new military biplane. After the exhibition flight,. Chief Eagle Calf asked to be taken up as a passenger, and it is safe to say that the eagle feathers which formed his massive head dress never flew faster when they were attached to their original owner. At the end of the trip, after getting out of the big Buick, he walked slowly around it several times, inspecting everything very closely and then said to the interpreter: "If the great spirit will only give me a machine like this when 1 reach the happy hunting ground, I will be satisfied.” Birthday Party Last Thursday was the 51st anniversary of Airs. Thomas Coy, and the folowing ladies, gave a party in her honor: Mesdames Alarion Self, Otis C. Butts, Chas. Bundy, John Coy, Aladison McPherson, jOeal Craft, J. D. Jensen, Cal Smith, J. F. Rippey, Lawrence Juday, ■'Nancy Nine, Win. Beckman, J. Yoder, Minnie Berry, Anna Neff, V. Al. Shaffer, L. E. Unrue, J. S. Neff, A. AA . Geyer, Chas. Thompson, Frank Younce, AV. R. Hettinger, Cynthia Aleyers, Win. Butt, Frank Shaffer. Neal Phebus. Dora Weaver, Esther Vail, Chas. Alters, Olive Miller. Vfff-n Long, lane Kern, Minnie Bentz, Jonothan Cripe, Chas. Lutes, Tillman Hire and Louise Self. A fine dinner was one of the most enjoyable events of the day but every min'ute proved pleasant. The hostess received the best wishes of all her friends for many more happy birthdays. Can’t We Get One? Several of the towns about us have secured, or are making efforts to secure, pickle salting or fruit canning stations of some description. AVe can conceive of no likely reason why Syracuse should not have somethng of the sort. Surely, soil hereabouts is as adaptable to pickle raising as that in the vicnity of Leesburg, Nappanee Middlebury and other towns that are boasting salting stations. In our opinion, a little concerted action should land an institution of that kind here. Al ore's the pity we haven’t a commercal organization to look after our needs. Complain of Sidewalks Several citizens have complained to the writer about the dangerous conditions of some of the sidewalks of Syracuse. They urge that the town officials take some action towards compelling property owners to repair walks. In the case of an accident the town would be liable. Warsaw paid a large damage not very long ago to a person who was injured when they tripped and fell“on a defective walk. Corrective action now may save an expenditure for damages later. Mrs. Levi Ott Dies Airs. Levi Ott, a former resident of this vicinity and a sister of AHchael Nicolai, died at her home in Norville, Alichigan, Tuesday of last week. She is survived by her husband, one son and four daughters. Air. and Airs. Alichaei Nicolai, Air. and Airs. Charles Nicolai, Mrs. Fred Hinderer and Airs. Albert Aliller attended the funeral at Norville.

Inexpensive Dresses A resolution passed by the trustees of Kosciusko county at their last session placed a ban on high priced dresses at county commencement. The trustees took a stand for simplicity of dress for the girl members of the graduating class. 1 White cotton is to be the material and the cost of the material and making is not to exceed $5.50. It is stated that in the past many of the graduates have worn dresses of expensive material and making—in many cases the graduating dresses costing as high as $25 and S3O. The members of the class come from families of the rich and poor and expensive dresses have often worked a hardship upon the parents of the latter class. Superintendent E. B. Sarber has finished the grading of the eighthgrade examination and announces that 143 pupils made passing grade. A second examination will be held soon. Big*Bass “Bill” Connell, the well known fisherman of Warsaw now carries the honors in Warsaw for landing the largest bass of the season. While casting on little Eagle Wednesday evening he caught a large black bass which tipped the scales at six and a half pounds. The specimen was a beauty and one ot the finest catches ever exhibited in this city—-Ex.

To The Churches of Syracuse When I offered the ground and money to build the Tabernacle I prayed so earnestly that if it was God’s Will that he would bring it to pass for I wanted to use his money where it would be to the best advantage and accomplish the most good for His names honor and glory and for the advancement of his cause and the upbuilding of His kingdom and the salvation of souls; but if it wasn’t His Will, that you would not except it. And as you have refused the offer I am satisfied that it is God’s Will, and I hold no ill will toward any one and I love you all. Your Sister in Christ * Uzzie Rentfrow.
