TO TAKE SCENES IN AND AROUND SYRACUSE Representatives of the Monogram Moving Picture Company! of Lafayette, Ind., were in Syracuse last week arranging for the taking of pictures of scenes throughout Kosciusko county. This company is the same which recently produced 5000 feet of film for Purdue university.

The picture, when completed, will be shown first in a Warsaw theatre and will then be offered to county agents and schools throughout the state for free showing.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1923.

LAKE WAWASEE Inspired by the Lake of Wawasee, 1 call on the muse, and it answers me, ; Backward the time, rolls on its way And 1 live in the lore of yesterday. The i wandering Indian* in fancy,! see. Guiding his bark o’er Wawasee: Pitching his tepee of skins, from the deer. Evading the white man, encrouehing near, Catching the flsh, in ways that were crude. I Only to be used, for needed food: Stalking the bison with arrow and bow. On moccasined feet, and crouching low. Sometimes a bear, or an antelope, rare Rewarding his efforts, so fraught with care. But coming back to the present time. 1 hasten now to finish my rhyme. 1 Speedboats now/ before me I see Almost flying, o'er Wawasee. Bass and pickerel are eagerly sought By casting and trolling, now they are caught. Cottages* set’ in lawns of green. Are close to the wateys silvery sheen Childrens voices in happy’ glee Are wafted across the lake to me. A mighty oak and a sasafras tree Are spreading a welcome shade o'er me. The muse is departing, so I must flee. And now. Au revoir. O’ Wawasee. o BASEBALL The Colored Giants of South Bend were easily defeated last Sunday bv the Syracuse Grays, the score being 7 to 4. Sunday, August 26, the Grays will cross bats with the Jimtown Timers at Rodgers Park, Goshen. This is the last of a series of three games with Jimtown, each term having one gamp to their credit. It has been decided to plnv the tie game off on a neutral field and RodPer’s Park at Goshen has been selected. Den t forget the date and place. oMARRIED Miss Grace Irene McClain of Syracuse and Mr. Rollin Carter Wilkison of Greensburg, Indiana, were married at Warsaw op Thursday, August 16, by Rev. John S.

HOME Where skies are blue and cloudy too, And there’s a book and easy chair, I And gentle hands to tie the strands O! flowing golden hair; Though it is but a humble hut With walls ungraced by tapestry. If one beguiles my woes with smiles,—That’s home enough f<|r me. Where there is cheer when days are drear. A singing voice and waiting* task. And one who spies and satisfies •Our needs before we ask; Whore sounds of mirth around the hearth - ?-e sweeter than ft 1 " mHodv Os lonely thrush at twilight’s hush. — That’s home enough for me. Where there is jest and mightly rest. And toys of babies o the floor. The faint perfume of lilac-bloom And bees about the < oor; A swaying swing where robins sing And children pause bereath the tree. Its fruit to taste in greedy hasten — That's home enough for me. Where there is spread the daily bread. - And anxious ones Just wait and wait Fe- him they miss and yearn to kise reside the aarden gate: And willows weep while posies sleep ■ ■''.’here drons of dew nnrrnY be Like diamonds rare on bosoms fair. — That’s home enough for me. Where love is true and bears with you the hardships which misfortune brings. And each caress gives happiness That is dented to Where hope revives ns faHh survives And whispers of Eternity. Though tears are shed around the dead I — That's home enough for me. Ralph Scoles Thomas. 302 Jackson Boulevwrd, Elkhart, Indiana. SPRAG H>B ARTELS Miss Alice Sprague-of this city and Wm. C.

DEATH OF MRS. F. M. GRISSOM Mrs. Francis M. Grissom passed away at her home in this city on j Tuesday, August 21, at 12:45 a. i m. as ter an illness of only a few • hours. The cause of her death was paralysis. Mrs. Grissom did her week’s washing* that morning and went up town in the afternoon. She was in good spirits when she retired about nine o’clock. When her son Garrett came home he found his mother asleep, but soon after he s retired he heard his mother making strange noises, and he called to her. She made no reply, and; thinking she was having night dreams, he went to her bed, when he found she was unable to speak to him. He immediately called a doctor and other relatives in, but the end came in a short time. A message was sent to her husband, who employed in the cement plant at Sylvania. Ohio, and he started home at once, arriving here early Wednesday morning. The deceased was 52 years of age. Besides her husband, she leaves to mourn her death, two sons, Jesse who lives in Wawaka, three grandchildren, and Garrett, who lives at home, besides a large circle of other relatives and friends.

SOME THINGS TO THffi ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. There is so much pleasure in publishing a newspaper that some editors are refusing money as a reward for their services. It takes wind to run a newspaper. It takes nerve to run a newspaper. It takes scintillating, acrobatic imagination,’ a half-dozen white shirts and theatre tickets to run a newspaper. But money—heavens to Betsy and six hands around, who ever needed money to run a newspaper. Kind words are the medium of exchange that do the business for the editor—kind words and church social tickets. When you see an editor with money, watch him. He will be paying bills and disgrace the profession. Make him trade it out. Then when you die, after having stood around and sneered at his jim-crow paper, be sure and have your wife in for three extra copies, and when she reads thg generous and touching noices about you, forewarn he not , o send fifteen cents t the editor. The editor knows it and what he , .vants is heartfelt thanks. Then he can thank the printer and hey can thank the grocers. Don’t worry about the editor. He has a charter from the state to :ct as the door-mat for the community. He’ll get the paper out somehow, and stand up fcr you .vhen you run for office, and lie ibout your pigeon toed daughter’s wedding, and blow about •our bi.g-footed boys wfien they ret a $9 a week job, and weep -ver your shriveled soul when it s released from your grasping 'ody, and smile at your wife’s eeor.d marriage. He’ll get along. rl*e Lord only knows how, but he editor will get there somelow. The deadbeat is the hardest ind to successfully meet. He rets trusted all over town and rever pays a cent unless his reditors take it out in trade c.r ut of his hide. His ccmpctitoi vho pays his bills promptly is hus penalized for paying, so he ‘ores a lot of business he would ret if he m.rde' his creditors pat—•or.’re him in order to get what s their due. Verily the deadreat is the worst kind of citizen. Sev°n days’! wo k a week is rood for noboi.lv. When a notice was recently oublished about a railroad employe who had never missed a day’s welk in fifty years, includ:ng Sunday and holidays, B. C. Forbes was not impressed. He ■’sked the Question. “How far did he get?” The answer, of reurse, was that he had never Tot very far. The old rule. “Six days shalt *hou labor and do all thv work, : s not primarily a religious one. Tt is one of the best health roles and success rules ever devised. A lady bought a can of corn syrup at Louis Seider’s grocery 'ast Saturday On Wednesday Louis received the following note: “I used your corn syrup three days. My feet are bothering me just as much, as ever.” Any town or any community that doesn’t pull together doesn’t accomplish results these days. It takes united action to build towns and cities. Oftimes individual ideas must give-way to the will of the majority. Right at the present time Syracuse people are moving as a unit. Let’s keep up the good work. o LEAVES WITH NEGRO Frank Ward, 57, of Cassopolis, Mich., a concrete worker in Elk- ■ hart, Saturday morning reported to Elkhart police that his wife, ; Pearl Ward, 35, had left Elkhart ' with Mathias Pompey, 30, of - Cassopolis, “a good looking N*’gro,” and that they were in Chicago. Mrs. Ward abandoned her eight-year-old son. who is in Elkhart. She and Pompev became acquainted in Cassopolis several months ago.
