FORMAL OPENING OF THE STATE BANK OF SYRACUSE The Home Bank, which is the State Bank of Syracuse, has completed its building on the corner of Main and Huntington streets, making that corner one of the pleasing spots of the town, and causing one to forget the unsightly conditions which existed there for so long a time. The building itself expresses the good taste of Syracuse without any attempt at show or ornamentation. , Convenience for the working force, as well as for the patrons, privacy for the transaction of all business requiring privacy, well lighted, ventilated and heated rooms were the main designs throughout the construction. The Bank now extends to all the people, merchants, farmers, men and women of the factories, railroads, to everybody who resides within the field of the Bank’s activities, a cordial invitation to attend the formal opening Saturday afternoon and evening. June 16. There are no special invitations for this event, except as to the banks of our neighboring towns, to whom a courteous printed invitation is being sent; so the reader will take this notice as his or her first-hand invitation to be among the Bank s visitors. Safety deposit boxes of superior make, in three sizes, are installed, and persons desiring such private strong-boxes for preservation of their valuables should apply for one early. The convenience for box owners to handle their valuables with privacy and leisure are such as very few banks afford. Children’s savings boxes, with interest bearing accounts for such savings, are to be had for the asking. It is needless to say that it is a good time to encourage children to start and to keep up a savings acount. Respectfully, The Officers and Stockholders of the Bank. o MISSIONARY SOCIETY MEETING MONDAY The Home Missionary society of the Methodist church met at the home of Mrs. J. H. Bowser on Monday afternoon. There was a good attendance and a very instructive program was given. One of the topics for discussion were the American Indians, their habits and how they are cared for on the government reservations. There were several other subjects equally interesting that were mentioned and were discussed by different ones on the program, and taking it all together a very pleasant afternoon was spent. At five o clock the hostess served light refreshments. —o *• BAR ASSOCIATION MERGER The Elkhart County Bar association was formed by merging the Goshen City and Elkhart City Bar associations on Wednesday of last week, when 33 lawyers of Elkhart county assembled at the Abbott cottage at Lake Wawasee, with Lloyd L.

TELEPHONE MEN IN ANNUALJCONVEUIOI Three-Day Session Hehl at the Popular South Shore Inn This Week. The annual convention of the Northern Indiana Telephone association is being held at the South Shore Inn, Lake Wawasee, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. About one hundred and fifty members, operators and wives of members are in attendance this year. A. L. Miller, manager of the Syracuse Home Telephone company, heads the association this year as its president and as the chairman of the program committee. On Tuesday evening an interesting lecture was given by a prominent speaker. Wednesday morning an operator’s school, in charge of F. V. Neuman, general manager of the Laporte Telephone companies, and one of the prominent men of the industry in Indiana, was held from 9 until 12 o’clock. At the same time a men’s meeting was held. In the afternoon of the same day the association was addressed by a member of the Indiana Public Service commission. On Thursday morning the business session of the association, with the election of officers, was held. At the same time another session of the operator’s school met. The evenings of the three-day convention were given over to social activities, including dancing, visiting, and a general good time. This is the third successive year that the state’s telephone men have held their convention at Lake Wawasee. This is duq to the fact, so they insist, that there is no other place in the entire state so desirable for the meeting as Lake Wawasee, with the facilities offered by the big South Shore Inn and the genial hospitality of Mr. John E. Boyts. The charms of Indiana’s premier beauty spot have been and are being carried to the four corners of the state by conventions of this sort. Some of the men prominent i in this association who are in attendance this year follow: A. B. Still, president of the Texas State Telephone association, general manager of the Gulf States Telephone company, with headquarters at Houston, and which operates about 30,000 stations in that section of the West; Henry A.

A fine reinforced pavement has just been opened to traffic on Park Avenue, the -main thoroughfare of the well known resort. New cottages and hotties are springing up almost over night. Remodeling, painting and cleaning up in general has become an epidemic. A new sprinkling system covering the entire 40-acre park is being installed. With the device and the new pavement, Winona promises to be more beautiful than ever with lawns always green and no dust from the heavy traffic on the new street. Special provision is being made for the parking of automobiles. o K. MOCK STRICKEN Joseph K.

All arrangements in progress for the sale have been called off, even though the sale bills have been distributed. — oROUND TABLE CLUB The last meeting of the Round Table Club was held last Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. C.

The Seventh Federal Reserve district, comprising lowa, northern Illinos and Indiana, and the southern parts of Michigan and Wisconsin, was represented by Wm. B. Bosworth of Chicago. He showed Treasury department officials that the people of the Sev enth district bought more Treasury Savings certificates in 1922 than any other district in the country and attributed this socalled ‘championship’ of the district to the active co-operation of the local postmasters. A billion dollars of the public debt will be carried in the form of Treasury Savings certificates, which will be sold to the public during the next four years. Half of the 1923 quota of $150,000,000 has already been sold. Treasury Savings certificates are issued in denominations of $25, SIOO and SI,OOO. They mature in five years, but the U. S. treasury will cash them at any time upon demand. These securities may be purchased at the local postoffice, or direct from the Federal Reserve bank of Chicago.

SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by- the Editor As He Sees The,ui on the Surface. Life for the young girl of today is one continuous contradiction. In the school room she is impressed with the necessity for being gentle and ladylike, only to have all sorts of stories of high jinks pumped into her after school hours. At home the mother teaches her the value of being a neat housekeeper, of knowing how to preparing an appetizing meal, and the necessity for washing dishes and tidying up after each repast. But .these quickly vanish when her best beau whispers into her pink ears the suggestion (hat as his mate she would ’I have the exquisite pleasure of watching others do these things for her. . At church she hears the minister speak of the life that ennobles humanity and moulds’ character, while at the next dance the' wild and hilarious jazz music fills her with longings for the flesh pots of existence. It is a queer world, and one does not wonder that is appears incongruous to the average girl in her teens. Somd people never parade their successes with a brass band, but they make about as much noise in other ways. When they make a shrewd deal and clean up a bunch of money they' like to have it known to everyone but the assessor. Shouting the good news abroad appeals to their vanity, and vanity in them can not be ignored. But when he comes out at the little end of a deal he generally does one of two things. He accuses his opponent of resorting to sharp practices, or he puts the clam to shame in his ability to remain silent. He finds no glory in the fact that some other man has euchered him in a financial transaction. Not you, of course. We know of an estimable lady in this town who takes great pleasure in conferring happiness upon others. Next to her famiily, it seems to be aim in life. 4 She invariably' meets you with a smile upon her lips and with sunshine in her heart, radiating good nature and friendliness and contentment wherever she goes. All women respect her, some envy her, men admire her, and little children love her. It is much to say of any woman, but she deserves all that we have said. If you qualify in this class you are the one to whom we refer. A true friend is a valuable possession to any man. But in order to gain the friendship of other people a man must first be his own best friend. Truthfulness, sincerity, energy and correct mode of living must be high spots in his life. Nothing short of these should be considered. When a man attains these virtues he is his own best friend, and will not lack for the friendship of others. ——o — WONDERS NEVER CEASE Says the Bremen Enquirer: The Medaryville Journal publishes a story about a California girl who swallowed a needle 3 years ago. A short time later she was married, and now has a baby daughter. Recently the needle was found in the baby’s shoulder. By jing, that beats the story that was current eight or ten years ago about the Nappanee girl who swallowed a needle. Some time later, if we remember correctly, it was found in the wrist of a Bremen young man. Germs walk on the other side of the street when passing a house cleaned with Blue Devil.*
