AS SEEN ON LIFE’S HIGHWAY : (By Mr& Amanda L. Xanders) . With The N. E. A. In Dixieland . , Oklahoma City, Okla. • Dear Millie-Bell: I wish every person who trav--1 els to the Southwest would take in the 101 Ranch, it really is a very worth while place to see. t The Miller Bros, ten years ago. had a wild west show on the road. When the European war began, they were showing in London. The brother who was in ch*’^ ro immediately disbanded, sending his employees back to this country and turning over all his horses, some of them highly trained, to the English government for war purposes. Since that time they have an annual wild west show on the Ranch, eight miles out in the country, every September, lasting four or five days. This yt»ar they had it in May, for the benefit of ye Editors, and that day there were many thousands of people there. Outside of the show days about 100,000 people visit the Ranch annually, because they have the largest herd of pure bred registered Duroc-Jersey hogs in the world, also the largest herd of cattle. Holstein and Shorthorn, besides they have the .greatest area devoted to agricultural and horticultural pursuits. Their apple orchards produced last year 25.000 bushels. They are not only experts in their line those Miller brothers, but scientific as well. Really, it would take volumes to tell all they do and all there is to see. We left the Ranch at 5 p. m., 1 giving us barely time to doll up ' for the banquet at seven. < As we came near the new Mid- i West Creamery balding, one ; block from the hotel, where the < banquet was held, we saw a < crowd of Ponca City people and i >ur party waiting for the doors 1 to open. 1 I stood on the corner w'hile George Returned to the hotel for I something we had forgotten, i Presently, along came one of the bachelors of the party and < uud* to me, much to my surprise I end amusement. “Whom are you 1 ’nuking for. Mrs. X.?’’ I said. 1 "For George.’’ He said. “For a beau?” I said. “No, indeed, that r ; s one thing I’ll never be looking i for," He said, “That is really too r bad, Mrs. X., because I was just i going to propose to you?” I said. « "You were? Well in that case I will change my mind.” He said. “You will?” I replied, “For the fun of turning you down.” He ‘•aid.” So that is it, is it?” I said. 1 “It is.” And we both laughed 1 A ver it, as it was the first pleas- I •miry we had ever exchanged in i -all the years we have traveled on i these annual tours. He always 1 seemed so reserved, I never I dreamed it was in him to joke i about anything, and the, strang- i \st part of it is. I could not say t his name if my life depended upon it. Ido not remember of ever i hearing it and I certainly never S asked it. < The banquet hall was be.auti- i fully decorated. Streamers of f colored paner covered the whole t ceilirtg and formed a screen the 5 width of the room, cutting off a 1 part, for a temporary kitchen. J Roses, great bunches of them, decorated the tables, while all colors of toy ballons were tied to the backs of chairs and many others touched the ceiling. . c In conversation with one of the \ ladies who served, and a member of the Episcopal church, she told ' me they fried 1000 pounds of ’ chicken. Covers were laid for j "50 guests, visitors, the Chamber ’ of Commerce and other people. ] This was one, if not the finest banquet in Oklahoma. There J were after dinner speeches and ’ musical numbers and a fake talk ’ by Senator Robert J. Owen. , broadcasted from Washington, D , C. In reality it came from the basement of the building. C. M. Sarchet as toastmaster welcomed us to Ponca City, Gov. Trapp, welcomed us to Oklahoma. The principal address was giv- i en by E. W. Marland. wh<ptold ’ the truth about the oil industry, J —he ought to know, as he is president of the Marland Oil Co. A dance was scheduled, but the entertainment took up all the time until eleven-thirty, when we were all obliged to seek the seclusion our special Pullman train grants. We arrived in Tulsa in time for breakfast, guests of the Cosden Oil Co. Jt was a very elaborate affair and included broiled Oklahoma squab. The party was then taken ip small groups through the refinery plant, that cost $2,000,000 and the details of refining, told by competent guides. Then over the tank farm, really the city of

Syracuse’s Slogan: “A Welcoming Town WitH a Beckoning Lake.”

f I tanks, as there are rows and rows ! of tanks as far as the eye can see. An auto ride around the city • I included inspection of Tulsa’s 1 new $7,000,000 water supply sys- ' tern which brings the water from the Ozarks, a distance of sixty • miles. - Tulsa is called the greatest oil » city in the world; it is also a city of beautiful homes, well kept . lawns, flowering shrubs and June • roses. The business buildings • are so tall, I marvelled at it and ■ was informed that real estate ‘ values were equally high, $3,000 ‘ per. foot. We then motored to the Chari les Page Cotton Mills and the Kerr glass works, which are well worth a visit. We had all heard a great deal about Charlie Page, the philanthropist, and yet, Millie dear, I was so stupid; listen, to me, I was standing outside the cc-tton mills, the main entrance, when a large handsome man with black hair streaked with grey, and a round, moon face, came up to me, and placing a hand on each shoulder, asked me a lot of questions, particularly about that part of Oklahoma; I just could not resent that seeming familiarity because he had the kindliest eyes and the sunniest smile, I think I ever saw. When he turned to answer a question from a new arrival, I asked a boy standing near, if he knew who*, the man was. He seemed to resent my ignorance, as he said,! “Why don’t you know him, he is Charlie Page the best man alive.” We returned to our auto and were taken to the Charlie Page Orphan’s Home, built on a wooded knoll in Sand Springs. The home is r maintained entirely by Mr. Page, and is for unfortunate children, regardless of creed, and is the third one as the other two are too small. Mr. Page also owns many small cottages that shelter widow's and their chifdren. No wonder he is idolized by children in and out of the home. We had our luncheon in the home, cafeteria style—the food was excellent. In the afternoon we were taken to the Sand Springs Lake, a • beauty spot, where a Bathing i Beauty Pageant and the annual 1 Bathing Beauty contest was held. Later we played bridge at the Tulsa Country Club, from there ‘ we took in the Majestic Theatre. ’ Tickets to all sorts of entertainments, were given us by the Tul- < sa Entertainment Committee. ( o i BASEBALL j Friday, July 4, the Syracuse- < Milford All-Stars will meet the : Fort Wayne Collegians On the I home diamond. The Collegians | will bring the best team to ap- J near on our diamond this season. ( Everybody arrange to * see this ' ball club in action. Heiberger, j who was with the House of David last season and who is six feet, eight inches tall, will pitch. The Jamestown Tigers will ’ olay the Syracuse-Milford AllStars on Sunday, July 6, at Syra- ( cuse Park. Jimtown needs no ’ introduction to Syracuse or Mil- , ford fans. They are stronger ' than ever this season, having a ‘ win over Benton Harbor and Michigan City. Game called at J 3 p. m. Missionary program ; The women of Graee Lutheran church met at the parsonage on < Tuesday evening where a splen- 1 did missionary program waa en- 5 joyed on the theme "The Church J and the Child." At this meeting ’ the organization of a Women's < Missionary Society was completed with about fifteen charter mem- ! bers. The officers elected were: 1 President. Mrs. R. N. McMichael; ’ vice president, Mrs. Roy Riddle; secretary, Miss Helen Jeffries; treasurer Miss Louise Snobarger. The society will meet the first i Tuesday evening of each month. 1 WINS $2°.W CHECK ——• o < There was a run on the State Bank of Syracuse last Saturday : noon, not to deposit or draw out any money, but to call for the $2.00 check given by the Journal. About twelve people were there. Mrs. Roy Niles wqn the first of ! the hidden check, with the correct solution. The matter had to be decided by lot. < At twelve o’clock next Saturday noon another hidden check will be at a different place. Read the group Os ads again this week and see if you can find the extra letters. It’s easy. — o Now that it’s the month July why not really try to make yourself wear one glad smile. When looking for toys or a gift, don't guess, you know where to go for a lift. To drop in The Kettle is always worth while.

' SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, July 3, 1924.

Tribute to the Flag The flag presents tlxe most beautiful combination of national colors that was ever unfurled since the beginning of time. That flag has carried more joy to more humble hearthstones than any insignia of government that ever floated in the sun-kissed breezes of heaven. The red in that Flag is redder than the rising sum when it bursts above the eastern horizon with a face of unsufferable splendor; redder than the carnation flower, whose colors are brewed in the workshops of heaven; redder than the flush of joy that ‘mantles the cheek of the young mother, when she feels for the first time her firstborn’s breath. It typifies the blood that flowed in rivulets down the slopes of Bunker Hjll, and stained the snows of Valley Forge, the warm heart-currents that reddened the sod at Gettysburg consecrated the apple blossoms at Appomatox, the blood trickled down the hills of San Juan, and mingled with the waters of Manila and Santiago. ‘ The white in that Flag is whiter than the driven snow, as it falls uncontaminated from the matchless hand of God; whiter than the calla lily that blossoms beneath the foster-, ing care of the loving housewife; whiter than the sacred veil that envelops the blushing bride; whiter than the silver beam that shoots the evening star. It typifies the purity of the patriotism that animated American manhood on a thousand blood-bought fields and a hundred crimson seas. The blue in that Flag. Oh, the blue in that Flag! is bluer than the arched dome of heaven; bluer than the modest violet that blossoms in the wooded glen on the sunny side of the old log; bluer than the mellow radiance that flashes in a woman’s eye. It typifies the sacrifice of the mother, who laid her stalwart firstborn upon the altar of his country, and kneeling at his vacant chair, prays to God to comfort her aching heart, then seizes the sword that has fallen from the nerveless hand of the dead hero, buckles it to the waist of her stripling son, bids him go forth and conquer or never return.

THE FOURTH OF JUTY One hundred and forty-eight years ago a small group of men met in Philadelphia and discussed the proposition to rebel against the King, and risk their lives in an effort to throw off the British yoke> On the fourth day of July, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was drawn and adopted by Conference, and it was signed on that day by John Hancock, the President of the convention and Charles Thompson, secretary. The actual signing of the document by representatives of states did not actually occur until some months later and when it was done the men knew they were outlaws with a price on their heads, because it was red revolution. It meant something to sign that document. It took courage; a willingness to die if necessary, for conscience and for country. That document meant this: “King George, we do not want you any longer as our ruler. England, we will I>ay you no more tribute. From this day forward we will oe an independent power in the world, and we defy you and all the rest of the world to prevent our being what we wish to be.” This was democracy born in the world. History moves in mysterious cycles, and the man who has learned his best lessons in the harsh school of experience is not averse to profiting from the experience of others. We of 1920 ean profit from that of the .shrew patriot of 1776, who sought and gained political independence and bequeathed it to us. Once the movement tor a new America was started, a wise old leader advised the factions that they had their choice of hanging together or hanging separately. It was, and is. good advice. This must continue to be government of and by the people whatever results may be—else no man can foretell what may happen. Almost every system and condition in life has changed since our forehears gave up their lives for a theory—an experiment, then considered the "reddest” thing in the history of the world. And yet in no other land and in no other time has the individual enjoyed such blessings as he enjoys today in America. We need, not more independence but more realization of in-ter-dependence. We can develop calmly, smoothly, rationally, or we can exterminate each other so that no one will benefit. The first course is easier and the results are more pleasing. Let us stick to the origin*! principles and this Fourth of July renew our allegiance to the Declarationof In- ■

- ALL-STARS WIN COUNTY BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP Warsaw advertised last Sunday’s game as a contest for the county championship. The AllStars surely showed themselves worthy ch: mpions when they set the Specials down to the tune of 2-0, and out-played their opponents in every department of the game. Warsaw has a team composed of the best and highest priced players to be obtained in the northern half of the state, but were only able to get to second base three times and never reached third. There was only one reason for this and that was airtight slipport by the All-Stars. This makes the second straight shut-out for the new team and there are more to come. This gpme with Warsaw showed the strength of the new team and should gain the support of all who want a strong team to represent our towns. Next Friday and Sunday we have for our opnonents two of the best teams obtainable and if yon will come • nnt and bring vour friends, von may see some high class baseball.

vespbbTseraices Rev. R. N. McMichael is announcing an important change in the Lutheran church calendar, which will ne of interest to the people of Syracuse and vicinity. This change involves the inauguration of a vesper service at J 4:30 every Sunday afternoon duriing the months of July and I August.

I The new calendar will enable | Rev. Mr. McMichael to preach in all three churches of kis parish every Sundav, and will give the Syracuse Lutheran congregation a service every Sunday, instead of the two services every three weeks, as heretofore. The Cromwell and Nappanee congregations will alternate with the morning and evening services. The vesper service late Sunday afternoon is a nopular plan now being followed by many city churches. Special music with a short sermon on current religious problems will be the special features of these vesper services. Thev will not last over an hour. The first of the vesper services w ill come Sunday afternoon whea Rev. McMichael will deliver a sermon on "The Real American.” The vesper service on July 13. will be the union service of all Syracuse churches, when Rev. W. J. Dauner will deliver the sermon.

SOME THINGS TO THINK HI Review of Things by the Mitor As He Sees Them ea the Surface* Little Things OverlooAod What a blessing that we do not all see alike. Were it pot so every man would think your wife just as handsome as his own. Then there would be no fun in love, courtship and matrimony. Truly it has been said that variety is the spice of life. In short, variety is what causes the wheels to go around, and makes life worth living. Take variety out of it and the «.srth would soon lx* weed-growth, and the people return to savagery. We talk about the earth grow-t ing older as the years go by. And so it is, according to the almanac, but the world is becoming nw.tr. At least, there seems to be no end to new things, new phases of old things and old phases of new things. Os topics worth studying there is no end, at least not in sight. The why and the wherefore nf things is forever challenging us to discussion and the final outcome gives the mind a shunt from the present into the future. The average mortal spends a lot of time looking into space, speaking to the echoes and listening for whisperings from dark mystery-land, while the earth is Oiled with interesting, even thrilling events* to say nothing of the curious things, and startling conditions that confront us at every

step. What a pity we are not taught to look downward to the interesting things of the earth on which we live, and not sit and gaze into mysterious space through which an occasional meteor flits. The Measure Os A Maa Not—- “ How did he die?” But—- “ How did he live?” Not—“WhaLdid he gain?” But—- " What did he give?” These are the units To measure the worth Os a man, as a man. Regardless of birth. Not—- " What was his station?" But—- “ Had he a heart?” And—- “ How did he play His God-given part? Was he ever ready With a word of good cheer, To bring back a smile, To banish a tear?" Not — “What was his church?” Nor—- “ What was his creed?” But—- “ Had he befriended Those really in need?” * “What did the sketch In the newspaper say?’’ But—- “ How many were sorry When he passed away?" A down-state newspaper puts this foolish question to its readers: “What would you do, if you put your hand in your pocket «nd found a $lO gold piece?” We don’t know just what we’d do, but we’re sure that we’d be thoroughly convinced that somebody had traded pants with us by mistake. The New York Times is responsible for the statement that Madison Square Garden is now holding the greatest dark horse show in its history. How about this, readers? When two automobiles come together, they call it a collision, but when two kids come together, they call it twins. We nominate for the Hall of Fame, the silkworm. Think of all the fair maids who depend on him for their hosiery. Automobiles have succeeded in putting most of the horses out of business, but the jackass crop is still going strong. If our brethren, the Demeerate aren’t careful, there will be an election before they nominate a candidate! Four whrel brakes are all right, but if a fellow hae a re«l good one under his hat, that’a enough.
