'consisting of building, real esit.ate, machinery and material was ’ sold to a stock company of local I people. j For some time it was rumored ’rat M. J. Drefkoff, president of the concern, wanted to sell the heal plant. For some reason the werk had been slack for several ■ • ths and only a few men were employed. It was also rumored riiat eventually the local plant, would be ch -cd and the Norths Manchester plant worked to full capacity. In fact ever since the; North Manchester factory was, started last fall the local plant. | was parsed up mor ? or less until {only a few rm n were at work., j Recognizing thi. fret, th?

It’s just a plan to get you to read every ad in that group and to create an interest in the Journal that is different. You have three days to get the solution, but if you think you are correct, better hurry or somebody else will beat you to it. The check will be at the proper place Saturday noon. The conditions are also that you mark the letters in t.ie. ads, arrange them properly, and then take that page to the place where we have left the check. Remember the words spelling the name of the advertiser must be so arranged as they appear in the ad, and there are just enough extra letters to complete the name. For instance if the name of the store or the firm name contains twenty letters, you will find only twenty extra letters. This hidden check feature will continue for ten weeks. The name of the winner will be published every week.

SOME THIHGS TO THE ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on th? Surface, Good Mornhijg. How many of us stop when we say “Good Morning” to think > what the phrase means ? Nobody knows how it started, but he or she to whom the idea iirstrcame was a poet. For in those two words lives the essence of a prayer. Os course we who say it hope that our own morning may be “good,” that goes without saying. But do we go a step farther and breathe a prayer that the day of those we meet may also be filled with happiness? The full phrase of oui ancestors was “God give thee good morrow.” This would be a great old world if we really meant what we said, if, when we greeted our acquaintances, we really wanted their days to be filled with the ioy of living. If we did, we’d go out and help them make it so. A lady who recently made a trip down east savs she saw a big manufacturing establishment dedicated to the mistakes of mankind. The'factory makes rubber erasers for lead pencils. Bones raises this seasonable cuestion, which perhaps may as well be referred to the kiss controversialists: When luap year girls propose, should they get on their knees, or his’n. t At the present rate we will just about have all of our roads in good shape by the time people get to traveling in airplanes. They are talking of writing some new commandments. Wouldn’t it be better to try the cld ten first? Everybody makes a mistake now and then. But why pick out a railroad crossing as a place for making it. The difference between man and money is that when money rets tight it circulates in a different crowd. It wrfuid be a lot better- world if every man was as anxious to clean a string of fish as he is to catch then). One reason farmers accomplish more than congress is they don’t meet at 11 o’clock and adjourn at 2. One reason why there is not likely to he a third narty is because it will finish third. Money is probably called, “dough” because a man needs it for his daily bread. A man is your friend, when, knowing your sins, he can keep a closed mouth. If you understand what you’re t’-ying to do, your job is half done. And Now In CTotong— We wish to make the innocent observation that while the modem girl may not be as modest aS the girl of yesterday, still you’ll have to admit she is more honest. c he conceals nothing. o SYRACUSE-MILFORD WINS The Mishawaka Tigers gave the All-Stars some real opposition in their game at Milford last Sunday. z For seven innings, until the game was called on account of rain, as pretty a pitchers’ battle as a fan would want to see was staged between By land and Onken. The All-Stars were able to get only one hit while the Tigers only got three. Onken struck out ten men while Bvland struck out twelve. The All-Stars were charged with two errors against one for Mishawaka. Iru-the fourth inning Emory and Trump started things and when Onken threw through third base on Feltner’s hunt, the AllStars scored two runs, enough to [win the game, 2-0. A very small crowd witnessed the game and the players feel that better supnort is deserved by a team which gives the present brand of base ball. Next Sunday the All-Stars play at Warsaw and although Warsaw is making a lot of noise they exnect to show'the Specials something jin base ball.
