Mannfeld. chief of the fish and game division of the state conservation department. , Mannfeld explained that death in such cases would be due to insufficient oxygen. He pointed out that most shallow lakes freexe over. They also have considerable vegetation as a rule. During the time the lake is frozen the vegetation and the fish consume air the oxygen and the water robbed of this has no way to replenish as long as the lake is Open waters are'aerated by wave action and where lakes do not freeze, this situation is not met. Reports to Mannfeld's office show that ice fishing was extensively followed in tadiana this winter and many thousands of fish taken. The law permits one to fish through two holes only, providing but one hook and line is used to each hole. Bass Lake, however, is excepted, a legislative act of 1907 setting it apart as a place for propagation. Conservation officials are completing details for the hatchery work this spring and look toward a good season. Millions of young fish are raised by the department each year and released in public waters. The result of this work is now showing un well, and reports show that fishing in IndL ana waters compares favorably to the waters of many states nationally famous for acquatic life. —oART CLUB The Art Chib met, with Mrs. Leia Harkless on Tuesday evening, April 1.

There were eleven present to enjoy Mrs. Dauner's hospitality. The subject of the roll call was “Dramatists of Today.” After an important business session, two original articles, the first, “Drama and Life.” written by Miss Blanche Sprague, was read by Mrs, Chas. Bowersox. The second, “A Doll's House," written by Miss Agnes Evans, was read by her sister, Mrs. Court Slabaugh. Mrs. Slabaugh resigned her position as the new president, and asked that the vice president, Mrs. Bowersox, be elected as president. This was done and Mrs. Slabaugh was made vice president. A very oleasant social hour was spent before the guests departed. Sf"HOOL ENTERTAIN.MUN'T The third number of the school entertainment was well attended on Thursday night of last week. The Oakland theatre, where the nlay was given, was packed to the door with not only pupils of the high school and the lower grades, but a large representation of patrons of the school, gathered to tee the play, The Maid and the Golden Slipper.” Between acts music was furnished by an orchestra. Another number will be given, the date of which will be announced later. o EARLY MORNING BLAZE A fire started about 3 o’clock Wednesday morning on the pre- > raises of Fieldon Sharp.

HARD TIME PARTY I Many members of the local K. -of P. lodge and the Pythian Sis- - tres responded to an invitation t to attend a hard time party at I the Castle hall on the evening of . April 1. None of the ladies ap- . peared in elaborate and expen- . sive evening gowns made in Paris i nor the Knights in swallow-tail , coats. The former preferred the > home-made gingham dress, even . in tom condition, while the . Knights and invited guests ap- ! reared in overalls and coats long discarded, or in trousers once worn by the owner when a boy, even if they were seventeen inches too short. The idea of a hard time party was thus carefully carried out. To amuse the guests a varied program had been arranged. Miss Natheta Sloan gave several whistling solos and Gordon Geiger favored the guests with several of his recitations. Another feature was a cake walk, and in this manner three cakes were disposed of at 10c a walk. A fish pond was another attraction and nearly everybody fished. Catches from a weiner sausage to a “diamond” ring were made. Dancing was also indulged in. Refreshments, consisting of ice cream, cake, coffee, etc., were served. Music was furnished by the Zerbe orchestra. The festivities lasted until the midnight hour and ail those present agreed they had spent a pleasant evening. HAUL LIGHTLOADS ONLY Common sense use of roads now softened by spring' thaws and rains not only means big saving of road funds but economy and advantage for road users, a state highway commission bulletin this week points out. Light loads on' small vehicles, it is suggested, will work to the gain of road users. The driver who insists on moving a heavy load on a large truck runs the risk of being stopped by a state patrolman, forced to either unload his truck or take it off the road until surfaces again are solid and compact. Three tons maximum weight which includes truck and load, are allowed cn state roads but highway officials point out that it is much better for the road if ‘•'•affic will lighten this.**>Aad<jn the end it means fess, maintenance cost on gravel and stone roads and more quickly will the roads be worked into perfect condition a few weeks later to meet the hard grind of augmented summer traffic and touring. -—■" ■ o — ENTERTAINED S. S. CLASS On Monday night Miss Eda Hartleb’s class of the Lutheran Sunday school met at the Tea Room for a party. All took part in a judging contest and after that were tolA to put on their wraps and pr#are to cross the River Jordan. They were then led to • Miss Louise Snobarger’s . home on Boston Street. Here the •ime was spent in games, spelling matches and a guess lunch was served. A large number were present, and all reported a good time with the intention of attending Sunday school and to on hand for the auto race which will start Sunday. April 6. This class has chosen the Ford, so watch its dust. o COMMERCIAL CLUB LUNCH Last Tuesday the members of the Commercial Club, in connection with the business meeting had their regular monthly noonday luncheon at the Grand Hotel and the menu was up to the usual standard. Mine host Rowdabaugh served the guests with delicious cream puffs, which <rere filled with pieces of cork. It was April fool's day. O—: MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION Following up a suggestion made by the Syracuse Ministerial Association the members of . the Warsaw Ministerial Associa- , tion have invited all Trotestant ministers in Kosciusko County to attend a meeting in the M. E. church at Warsaw on April 14. where it is planned to organize t a county ministerial association. J EASTER CANTATA !

The boys team of Logansport and the girls’l team of Michigan City captured the state free-throw championship, but teains from smaller schools of Indiana followed with many team and individual scoring honors. Six hundred boys and girls, rep resenting forty-nine high schools, competed in the first contest of the kind ever to be held, which closed last week. Individual honors of the contest go to Herbert Havens, of Lebanon, who made 50 ettt of 50 shots from the foul line, and to Ethel Mandel, a pupil in the Indiana State School for the Deaf, who gained highest honors among the girls by netting 33 oat of 50 shots. The ten boys* teams of ten men efleh placing highest and the total number of points scored out i of a possible 1000 were announced bv Indiana University athletic officials today, as follows: Ix>gftnsnort, 780, first; Lebanon, 774. < **cond; .Anderson, 730, third; Seymour, 728. fourth; Reming- ; ton, 702, fifth; Michigan City, 684, < sixth: Morristown, 642, seventh: i Manilla, 638, eighth; Auburn, 606 < ninth; Syracuse, 602, tenth. The remaining teams finished with < sqpres that did not differ greatly from the above, in the follow- ; ing order: Carlisle, Freedom, ; Roanoke, South Bend, Mishawa- < ka.

The nature of the pro- 1 gram was such that you had to be 1 nresent to appreciate it. The 1 music (vocal and instrumental) i was broadcasted and was heard 1 through a radio horn in the church. Those rendering the prof"ram were mostly Syracuse vonrig folks, but two numbers that came in were given by Mrs. . Jessie Young, of Milford, and * Vause Polen. of Milford, both , nerforming their parts at Milford. Mrs. Young played a piano solo and Mr. Polen sang a solo. | The affair was worked out by A. L. Miller, through the telephone 4 wires. The church was filled ' with listeners, as there has nev- 1 er been anything like it heard in 1 Syracuse before. That Mr. Miller i? a genius along the lines of in- 1 vention' has been proven by the ' rendition of this novel telephone- ! radio program. 1 o ’ BIRTHDAY PARTY ! i Thursday evening, March 20, ’ when Charles EL McClintic re-* ’’ turned home from school he found waiting nine boys from his ’ lass who had met to surprise lira on his eleventh birthday. Many useful gifts were received. ' The party consisted of the fol- ' ’owing boys: Joe Kindig, Carlton 1 Richhart, Joe Freeman. Wayne • Fisher. Ray Swank. William Ro- J gers, John Landis, Morris Crow. ' and James McClintic. Miss Eliza- ! beth McClintic entertained the ’ party with games and luncheon. ' TOE WEATHER i Riley’s poem, "The frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder is in the shock," fits the present weather conditions. Mr. Frost is still with us but we fear the fodder is all gone and the fodder- < consuming animals are now waiting for grass, which is trying to ( grow, if Mr. Frost will let it. March went out like a lion , and April came in the same waysnow falling on both days, the present weather is a puzzle to everybody. o— - PURCHASED REAL ESTATE William Bowld has purchased the house and two lots of William Master, located on the corner of East Washington and Harrison Streets. WEDDING ANNIVraSABY Rev.mdMri ly celebrated their third wedding anniversary last Thursday.

In preparing the annual budget the government statisticians have figured original cost, depreciation, gasoline, tires, etc., and report that the cost per mile for motor cars is seven cents and for motorcycles three cents. Allowance is made for certain conditions, such as mountainous regions and poor roads, but while the figure may be high in some localities and low in others, the experts state that the seven cent figure is adequate and fair, and it hxs been accepted by the budget committee in figuring estimates. * • —o — TAKEN TO THE SANITARIUM Mrs. John Dillen was taken to the sanitarium at Rome City, Indiana; on Sunday, where she will receive treatments for the injury sustained to her hip last fall.

EASTER SUNDAY FALIS ON APRIL 20TH THIS YEAR i i Chance for a disagreeable Eask ter, sno\J?or cold are y .nall this , year with Easter Sunday falling i on April 20. April 25 is as late > as the day has fallen within the r last 75 years. > Although April 20 is near the I last possible date, Easter seems to have made a practice of falli ing late in the season in recent , years. In 1916 the day was obt served on April 23; in 1919 it fell on April and in 1922 it came on A»ril 16. Last year it fell on Anril 1. The earliest date on which Easter Sunday can fall is March 22, hut not since 1818 has it come that early. In 1856 and in 1913 the day was observed on March 23. In 1920, When Easter finery was buried beneath a heavy snow fall, the day fell on April 4th. Easter is always the first Sunray after the full moon on.or after March 21. As Easter falls on Anril 20 this year. Ash Wednesday. which marks the first day of Lent, was on the first day of Mireh. t The lunar month is used in reckoning the date on which Easter falls, and it is therefore not set by the astronomers. This custom is in accordance with an ancient ecclesiastic ruling but seldom makes any difference in the date as the astronomical moon nearly always accords with the lunar moon. However, it failed to do so last year and if Easter had been set by the real moon it would have fallen on April 8, instead of on All-Fool’s, day, April 1, as was the case. ■ o AN UNNATUR.4L MOTHER , A letter written with a pencil on a piece of note paper was found in a traveling bag with a sever! pound baby girl, wnich was lef t on the porca of tne Harmon tiiHery home at Wai saw one night last week. At about 3 o’clock in the evening Mr. Hillery heard a noise like a baby crying, fie went out on the porch and discovered tne baby in a traveling bag. The child was cold and wore very little clothing. The child was taken into tne house, warmed and given milk. The note found in the traveling bag read as follows: “Please take good care of this baby girl. Her name is Velma Lois. I wouldn’t do this but my husband died 3 months ago and I had to do something. She was bom Feb. 27. If you will write to Indianapolis, five years from April 1, 1924, I will answer your letter and pay you for what you have done. MRS. G. R. JACKSON, Gen. Del.

■ SOME THINGS ID * THINK MT e e Review of Things by the Editor e As He Sees Them on s the Surface. • ; j Radio, like newspapers and 3 the stage, motion pictures and ' current magazines, has a publicity power that in. honest nauos is a benefit of inestimable va. but under unscrupulous conitvl may become a public menace and ; a delusion. Because of its neu- ’ ness, the power of radio to bene- ‘ fit or harm is only begmnihg to be lealized, but already there have appeared many signs that propagandists, religious zealots, and unprincipled persons with ‘ axes to grind are seeking away to reach radio audiences with their peculiar brands of publiciP ty. Only the vigilance of studio [ managers on a number of occasions has availed to sidetrack of1 fensive or biased speeches. ' Just as an editor must watch * his news to guard against propa- ’ gandists who seek to reach the ’ public with cleverly concealed arguments, so the radio broad- ' casting station must review the speeches that are to go cut on 1 ether waves to the listening world. It is to the credit, of the _ radio broadcasters that thus far ' they have succeeded well in shut. - ting the designing propagandist out of the air, thereby saving a * vast host of listeners from many an appeal for unworthy objects. It is always possible, of course, to tune out unwanted radio of- [ ferings, but if it were not that .bi oadcasting stations take good t care to keep out undesirable pro- . grims, there would soon be no ’ radio audiences. A preacher, at the close of one of his sermons, said: “Let all in , the house who are paying their debts stand up.” Presently ev- ; ery man, woman and child, with ' one exception, rose to their feet. The preacher seated them and . said: "Now let every man not j paying his debts stand up.” Hie exception, a careworn, hungryImking individual, clothed in last summer’s suit, slowly assum- , ed a perpendicular position. “How is tit, my friend,” asked the minister, "that you are the 'mly one not able to meet his ob- ‘ IWtions ?” “I run a newspaper.” he a’'*’- ■ wered meekly, “and the brethJ rcn here who stood up are my subscribers and— ’’ "Drt us pray,” exclaimed the minister. Next to the parents no one is so interested in the children’s welfare, so devoted to their general .growth and development as v’ rt ll as their school education as the teacher. Her work will be far more effective if the children know that the parents and trustees believe in her, trust her judgment. and back her un in her ideals and decisions. She will be happier as well as more effective in doing it if the appreciation that is in the hearts of the people of the community finds expression in occasionally in words, in occasional hospitalities extended, and in other small acts of consideration. Cooperate with your teacher. A fortune awaits the man who will show us how to bottle 4 up the summer sunshine and preserve it hot for winter consumption.
