The unusual amount of humidity this year-and other weather conditions, have delayed the arrival of the summer colony on Lake Wawasee. The few warm days of the past week and the raising of ban on fishing, no doubt had everything to do with the sudden arrival of cottage owners and renters. The formal opening of Waco took place a little earlier this year than last It has lost none of its former popularity, for people will dance, you know, and ’ that is a better place to go than some others. The South Shore Inn has been caring for quite a few guests, as have the- other hotels, large ant small around the lake. aH day, fishing craft of all kinds lake from end to end.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1924.

AS SEEN ON LIFE’S HIGHWAY (By Mrs, Amanda L. Xanders) jwith The N.. E. A. In Dixieland Oklahoma City, Okla. Dear Millie-Bell: j That Sunday morning in Kansas City, there was a great, gathering of the newspaper clan, as train after train arrived from the north and south, east and west As usual there were many new faces, but every one was , “hail fellow” and in that spirit I met some very delightful people, who were not members of the N. |E. A. ■ Our special Pullman train arrived in Ponca City, a half hour ahead of our scheduled arrival, ' just the same the band was on ; hand and gave us a cordial welcome. As the members drifted into the station in twos and threes they were met by the entertainment committee, who assigned them to autos for the day and gave each one a breakfast, ticket tc one of five places, hotel or case. I will have to confess, I never heard of Ponca City until a year ago. when Oklahoma extended the N. E. A. an invitation to pipet in their state in 1924. There was quite a large delegation of representative citizens from Oklahoma at the meeting last year in New York state and the folks from Dixie Land, followed the invitation with numerous handsome and expensive Indian gifts to the officers of the association and pipes of peace to the members with the remark that no one would be allowed to pay for meals, while in the state, and they made good their word and then some. Gur breakfast tickets given at random were for the hotel one block from the station, that stands at the head of one of the principal business streets. We b?d a very elaborate course affair that began with grapefruit and ended with strawberries. We were also fortunate in being assigned to » lovely new sedan car. Just as we were about to fall in line, a lady came up ,ar+d said. !• picked- this car for. having the best driver, son of the -owner; sometime after she hed introduced Herself to George and me, she said the young man was nart Indian but no one would ever guess it. Mrs. Lucas is a young locking woman with snow white hair, bright jet black eyes, medium height and weight and exceedingly attractive in, appearance. Tier husband, Frank Lucas, is manager of the private affairs of the oil magnate, Mr. Marland. He is also a colons! on Governor Tranp's staff. We made a tour of the city and it was a great surprise to find the buildin rs and houses looking so new and attractive, but then, in Oklahoma everything, comparatively speaking, is new; why only thirty years ago that section of the statej, at the crack of a pistol was open to settlement. In the book of‘Proverbs, written thousands’ of years ago, it reads, “where there is no vision, the people nerish.” Today, economics teaches that without vision, industrial and commercial development never start. Behold | the hardy -pioneer, with what a wealth of faith in his heart and brain, he rushed into this region and built homes, where wild animals roamed before. For a number of years, gracing was the nrineipal occupation. In E. W. Marland came lere from Pennsylvania and after some discouragements he finely. in 1911, drilled the first oil well. Today one fifth of the world’s gasoline supply is obtainedf from the petroleum of this section cf the state* *■« It is quite out of the question, these days, to get away from ojl When I was east andun Washington, D. C., earlier in the year, it was the unearthing of scandal B scandal, in which high offisvere steeped in oil. No r as some ante said, the n the moon when passing Washington htfldsjus nose shut, because of the rank srtiell of oil hanging to all those who vtere weighed in the Jialaiue and fownd wanting. ; In a coming city of 13.000 population, 6,000 are Marldhd emand their families. Mr. Marland is one of |he few multimillionaires who is spending his where he made it. His prinripal contribution to the miblie welfare is an athletic field, a hospital, and a pietureseme golf course, open to the public without money and with--1 out price, just across the read s from his own beautiful home. I have seen fine estates in California, in Florida, and on the Hudson; his is among the finest to b* found anywhere in the U. S. and

few gardens are equal to those that surround his home. ■ His diversion seems to be the cultivation of trees, shrubs and , flowers and wild game. The Marland gardens and game refuge i include more than cne hundred : acres; they contain many small lakes and wooded areas. We look upon this as one of our lucky days, as Mrs. Lucas knew- everybody worth, knowing and made it quite pleasant for us. After going through a couple of oil refineries and the Marland tank farm, we were taken to the famous Miller Brothers 101. Ranch, eight miles out from the city, where the Calls Him JIo. 31 oil well was shot. This was a wonderful sight to those who! had never witnessed it before. I It looked like a .great cloud cf: Smoke, as the oil shot high in the ■ air, twice, and way over the top of the derrick. The ranch contains 110.000 acres, half of it owned by the i Millers and the other half leased! from the Indians. | We then motored to the bar-. becue grounds, where a sheltered covering had been set uo. Jps Miller acted as toastmaster at the barbecue, and introduced Major Gordon W. Lillie, better known as “Pawnee Bill,” Governs Traop. the mayor of Oklahoma City and others. Later we were taken to the roundup arena where a special section had been reserved in the grandstand. As vou approach the arena. ■ there is a long row of small side: shows and another row of eating booths where everything and! anything in the eating and drink-1 in** line can be purchased. When I passed the fortune tel-1 lets tent, she was outside talking to two young men; she asked tc read the lines cf my hands, I told her I could do that myself, as I once upon a time made a study of it, at that she sneering1y said, “You do lock like a fortune teller,” to which I replied,' “You flatter me, indeed you do, because if I look like one, you certainly do not.” At that they locked rather blank and I walked away before they had a change tb'iftcdVer. The immense roundup arena is not quite square, On two sides are covered grand stands, crowded with people, thousands of them,- from miles and miles around: on the third Side are open bleachers# ■ Two bands on ■ opposite sides played alternately. One band of forty pieces was from the government school. It was our good fortune to witness one of the greatest demonstrations of cowboy and cowgirl snorts ever staged anywhere. With the Miller brothers riding at the head, the brother on a beautiful white horse, seated oh a SIO,OOO saddle, studded with jewels, the grand entry was made. It included champion cowboys and cowgirls and other noted riders, bulldcggers, and ropers. What I liked best of all,' in the narade, was the many, many different tribes cf Indians, ip costume, with feathers and jbeads and other fanciful Indian regalia that I never saw before. Not a few of them were even scantily clad. There'rivere many little Indian children in the parade an 1 ■women with papooses joined in itlre dances. There were any number of old fashioned stage coaches, prairie schooners and all kinds of vehicles of a day, nyt so long gone, but apparently gone forever. The cowgirls did the roundup stunts, with the same daring and skill as the men, and it was noticeable. that the applause was iust a little more enthusiastic for the women. ♦’ -Six thousand dollars was given j in prizes that afternoon. o~ —— SPECIAL SEBYICE Mrs. H. C. Bell, of St. Petersburg, Fla., Field Secretory of the Women’s Missionary Society ox the United Lutheran will be the speaker at a special service in Grace-Lutheran church. Friday evening, to which everybody w invitedl Mrs. Bell comes welt prepared to tell of the activities of the Lutheran church in ndssipnary work, and she is heralded as an impressive arid inspiring speaker. An informal reception is arranged for after the service to afford an opportunity for Mrs. Bell to meet the Lutheran women of Syracuse. The Lutheran choir is nlanning to give several numbers of snecial music for the Friday evening service. . o NOTICE I will do hair bobbing at my residence on North Lake Street. 6-ts VERN BUSHONG

NO DAMAGES ALLOWED t — • Charles WiHiamson, Elmer E. ! Kinsey and Alpheus UL jy, appointed by the county commissioners to view the Warner counfty unit read on the south and v cst side > of Lake Wawasee, made a thorough investigation on Friday and filed their report ; with the countytouditor. The reJ pert holds that nb property own- | ers are entitled to damages. This ’report is similar to that of the j county commissioners who first ’ personally slewed the road. : Several property owners de- ■ manded dam age s. contending that their property was injured. I The owner of an amusement ’ park claimed he was injured beicau’e the* proposed new- road •would reduce his parking space. I The view ers pointed out to this 'nun that the loss in parking [space due to the nsw road would j be made up by the gain of space through abandonment of the old i highway. In other cases where i there were objections and de- | mends for damages, the viewers | held that the benefits would equal or exceed the damages. This seemingly settles the matter as to damages, unless the property owners take court action, which is not likely to ban* n#*n. The road will be built in 1925. o — CHILDREN'S 3 DAY PROGRAM ■ I The United Brethren Sunday scauol will give tneir Childrens uay program Sunday evening bej ginning at 7:30. Ihe first part lot the progiam will consist ol * songs by the choir, songs, recita‘tions, and drills by the younger ; members of the school; while the second part will be the rendering of the playiet, “The Finding of Moses,” by the class of young people, taught by Mr. Eiler.

W THINGS TO TH ABOUT I ~ ! Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Tlmmu on ths Surface, r Wives Keep Step With Hubby Just what stand should the wife take when increasing responsibilities make increasing demands upon her husband’s time, including the time he formerly spent at haine? 'What should she do when business compels him to visit other parts of the country or foreign countries? Should she stay behind and keep the home fires burning? Or. should she arrange her domestic affairs so that she can go along? Should she turn to clubs of her cwn and cultivate friends of her own snd leave him to his own friends? These are but a few of a hundred and one questions which have had to be met and answered by the wives of brainy Americans who are winning notable success in worldly affairs and they apply with eo.ual force to the wives of business men and mechanics. Os coursej it isn’t always the wife’s fault, she isn’t always allowed to choose. But far too many successful men’s wives have been perfectly content to stay at home and to do nothing to prevent a parting and widening of the matrimonial ways. Too manv women cheerfully cultivate roristy of women instead 'f so handling hubby that a his friends would become friends of the family. Make his life your life. Make his friends your friends. Don’t hesitate to cancel any date at a woman’s club in order to get a hurried dinner or supper ready for friends daddy want to bring home. Read no on the things he is interested in. Encourage him to talk business with you. Though spending —extravagance is a rock on which manv matrimcnjal barks are* Wrecked—and too'uo’li econo'v must not be ignored, nevert -eless she is a wise wife who, in the matter of her own dress, does not let Mrs. Jones show her too clear a pair of heels.
