PHYSICAL EXPLORATION OF LAKE WAWASEE William M. Tucker, professor of geology of the Indiana State i University, is making a physical exploration of Lake Wawasee this week. The work comprises an exhaustive survey of the depths of the water by cross-sec-tioning the lakes with an improv|ed appaiatus and taking sound- ? imrs at intervals of 200 feet, i This will give a close knowledge • not only of the contour of the bottom, but the character of the j minerals at the bottom, such as i muck, marl, clay, sand or a pos- . si hie gold mine, or other valuable mineral's. This important work is being dene under the auspices of the Indiana State Conservation Bureau, and when completed w(ll I prove a reliable and most valuable presentation of the wolih , of the great lakes that grace this part of the state. This work of Professor Tucker’s is supplementary to the good work done in 1895-96. by Proses-, s»r Chauncey Ju day. D. C. Ridge-1 lev. and Torn Large, under the i direction of Dr. Carl Eizenmann,■ who founded the biological sta- ! ti< n on L-.ke Wawasee in 1895. Professor Tucker is at the head ’ of the surveying party that is here this week. A physical exploration of all lakes in the county will be made.

THE WAYSIDE CHATTER 2 The Unfortunate Boy r I Early in the Autumn, when the ? frost was on the vine and the I golden glow was on the trees and » the leaves were fast falling from 5 the elms and the maples, a skiff ? of snow was on the ground, the -!the familiar bob white could be - heard, the gobble of the wild tur- - key, the barking of the sly oldj . fox. and the thumping of the| ri pheasant could all be heard. * On a beautiful sunshiny day I ? the unfortunate boy’s hoops had, > all grown fast again and, feeling' •’himself once"thore and hearing! Hall this wild game talking, made him anxious for a hpnt. So he I ; cleaned and oiled his gun, made “ some bullets the cld style way, called and tied his dog to make sure he would be home in the morning. Daylight began to bre,ak in the east when he secured his gun, ! untied and fed the dog, and made a straight line southeast for the brush or dismal then the home iof all kinds of wild game. They jworked and tramped but bagged I but little game. The sun reached ! its zenith and was fast going down on the western slope, so the boys decided to retj|p home. Everything went well until ■ they passed the school house. They stopped just west of it to chat with neighbor. The unfortunate boy set the butt of his gun on the ground so the gun was in a straight up and down no sition, putting both hands on the end of the gun barrel, the side of his head also being in line. He placed one foot on the second board or rail of the fence. While' thev w’ere busy chatting about! their days fun' his foot slipped off the fence, hit the hammer of his gun in such away that the run discharged its load. When the smoke had cleared away it was found he had shot out the middle finger back of the knuckle in each hand and had a gaping wound on the side of his face and head. Many were the days and nights of pain before his and hands were healed again. Many were the wakeful nights this mother spent in bringing her boy back to health again. At last she sickened and died and lies buried in our cemetery on ; the hillside. The boy at last became a man and married into a very respectable family. They lived together a number of years, had a family of five or six children. One day the mother of these children was sick and lingered until at last she died. Two or three of the children have since died and are also buried in our cemetery near by. The unfortunate boy made an unfortunate man. < One day he loaded up with blasting powder and was blowing stumps right and left. All went well until he came to a stump 1 where the charge failed to fire. He dug the charge out and w’hile holding it in his hand the charge firrd. When the dirt and smoke was cleared away he was found with one hand gone and more , dead than alive. Many were the days and months before he was himself again. My subject lives not far away from Syracuse. eH often comes from Syracuse. He often comes thumb and three fingers. L. A. NEFF o - MARY JANE HIRE WINS THE CHEC K Mary Jane Hire hunted all the hidden letters out of the “Hidden check” page last week and when she put the letters together thev spelled, “At the Sign of the Kettle.” At 12 o’clock Saturday she found that some fifteen others had figured it, too. They had to draw lots to decide where the check would go. Mary Jane won it. New rules will not be m effect until second half of the contest. WARSAW HOiSe WINS RACE Crescent Direct, owned and driven by Frank Polk, of Warsaw won the 2:17 pace in the Western circuit races at Joliet, 111., ’ Thursday afternoon, stepping the I mile on a half-mile track in the ’ remarkably fast time of 2:09 1-4, . breaking the track record. Cres- ■ cent direct won the race m - straight heats. There were six- - teen starters. —o ■ ' — . FISH LAW VIOLATORS FINED Emanuel Click, deputy game - warden, last week arrested Gusr tav Bartloff. Joseph Sauer, Vir- > gil Bennett. C. R. Steinmetz, J. - A. Hogley, and Stern Passivoe for fishing without a license. i They were brought before Squire r Simon Belt who assessed a fine f of $5 in each case with the usual trimmings.

I. U. HAS NINE STL DENTS FROM KOSCIUKO CO INT Y (Special to The Journal) Bloomington, Ind., July 14.— j The thirty-fifth annual summer session of Indiana university includes in its enrollment of 1550 students, William C. Gants and Miss Dorothy Welty, of Syracuse, and nine students from Koscius»iko county. I The total enrollment this year i is about 100 less than that for Hast year’s session. This is I .thought to be due to the ruling! by the State Board of Education j I that high schobl graduates in or- ’ der to qualify for teaching positions under the new law should begin their required year of training al the opening of the regular fall term of 1921 rather than in the summer term. As a result, the enrollment in the fall is expected to be heavier than usual among students who exnect to take up teaching as a profession. Mere than 400 students have signed up for the special threeweeks’ intensive course fpr teachers which starts August 9 as a supplementary session to the regular eight and one-half weeks’ summer term. For those taking the extra course, a heavy schedule of daily recitations and correspondingly heavy requirements for outside work have been arranged. An additional two and one-half hours’ credit will be granted for the three weeks’ course, which will make a total of ten hours of credit for the regular and extra summer terms. A faculty of 124 members is conducting 275 courses in the» ' summer session. The four sepj arate divisions of the summer term consist of the eight and one-half weeks’ session in the arts and sciences and professional *schools, the twelve weeks’ session of the school of law, the ten weeks' term at the Winona Lake biological station, and the three weeks’ teacher training period at the close of the regular summer session. The total list of Kosciusko county students enrolled is as follows: Claypool—Wald© L. Adams; Mentone —Jessie A. Gill, Wendell H. Kinsey, Julia Swick; Syracuse —William C. Gants, Dorothy Welty; Warsaw —Leah Balliett, Mvrtle Cretcher; Winona Lake—Nettie A. Downey. Sl.u 525 RETURNED In most cases lost money is never recovered for the reason that it is never found, or if found the finder converts it to his own use. That a person has more money returned to him. than lost is of unusual occurrence. However, that is the fact in this case: Mrs. Lunquist, residing in Warsaw’, last week lost sls in money. There was a ten dollar bill and a five dollar bill. She advertised in an effort to recover her money and $25 was returned. A small boy, carrying newspapers, found a $lO bill in the w'est part of the city. It was at first thought this was part of Mrs. Lunquist s lost money and it was returned to her. Later the money was returned by another party and the ten dollars was returned to the boy. Here is another proof that it pays to advertise. ENJOYED A PICNIC . ’ About thirty-five members of the young people’s classes of the Lutheran Sunday School enjoyed a picnic on Indian Hill Tuesday evening. The event marked the paying of the forfeit of the losers in the race contest conducted in the Sunday School recently. The picnic supper and aIL of its attendant features w’ere greatly enjoyed. o — TO WATER CONSUMERS The town board at the meeting Tuesday evening instructed the city marshall to turn off the water if the water rent has not been paid by Monday. July 21. Those knowing themselves delinquent had better get busy or else they will find their premises dry by nightfall Monday. o GOES FLAPPER ONE BETTER Mrs. Anna Christner, Silver Lake, long past the flapper age has gone the bobbed haired youngster one better introduced a new style, new at least to Silver Lake. She’s going barefooted. “Best cure in the world for everything and anything that ails you,” she declared. It is to you we w’ould like to tell true, that in “The Kettle” there are heaps of new things w*e would like to show you. 12-lt.

B. & O. PICNIC The employees of the Chicago ■ Division of the B. & O. Railroad *are holding a picnic and dance at Oakwood Park today (Thursday). Several snecial trains arrived during the day, carrying high officials of the road. Those who arrived on Wednesday afternoon at Wawasee station, went to the the golf grounds and then remained over until today and attended the big picnic at Oakw’ood ; Park. They are. C. W.

At Oakwood Park addresses were dofivered by President Willard, C. W. Galloway, Archibald Fries, and others. It w’as a largely attended picnic. HOG CHOLERA EXPECTED Hog cholera will be prevalent again this year, according to the state veterinary department, which has issued a circular warning livestock men that late summer and fall is the worst time for this disease. They say that 90 percent of all losses caused by contagious and infectious diseases is due to hog cholera. When hogs Become sick it may be due to w’orms, pneumonia or general sanitary surroundings but the chances are strong that it is cholera. The safest thing to ulo is to consult your veterinarian and treat them according to his plan. The county agent’s office will furnish information on general sanitary measures and will assist communities in hog cholera control organizations but all such work requires close cooperation between the livestock men. the veterinarians and the county agent in order to be successful. If outbreaks of swine disease are given publicity through the territory in w’hich they occur, losses will be held to a minimum, as the neighbors can take adequate means to protect their hogs. — o— — WATER LEVEL AT LAKES Lakes in Northern Indiana are now at a record : breaking water level, because of the continued rains, according to lake resorters. At Lake Waw’asee the level of the winter is a foot and a half higher than normal for this time of the summer. However, the water level is slow’ly going down. At other lakes, Tippecanoe and Barbee, fisherman state that the higher water level has put a decided crimp in fishing. Fishing has been good at Waw’asee and many bass and blue gills are being caught. —o BASEBALL The Syracuse Milford All-Stars defeated the Mishawaka Tigers at Milford last Sunday, the score being 4 to 0. ’ . 1 Next Sunday, July 20, the Ligonier Greys will play the AllStars at Syracuse Park.

iSOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. Good Old Days Not Gone So says a recant article clipped from the editorial column of the Chicago Daily Drovers Journal. “The fact is often deplored,” the article goes on, “that the good old fashioned social and ed: national affairs like the spelling school, husking bee and barn raisings have gone out of styb. They were splendid events, vJell suited to the needs of their day. Today’s needs, however, are not being neglected, when we have the farm women of a county holding a picnic all of their own. It may have been a babel, but there must be some fire where there is a lot of smoke. Some good comes with all the fun. The ?ocd old days are not gone. Farm life has just as much, if not more in it than it ever had. All it takes is leaders.” Inexperienced A stingy man got a hot shot from his wife when he reproved her for taking a counterfeit bill. “I don’t see how you were dumb enough to let a man nass counterfeit money on you,” he roared. “Well, you don’t let me see real money often enough to know the difference,” she hurled back at him. Heard At The Lake Wife—l’m sorry, dear. The rock burned the biscuits. You’ll have to be satisfied with a kiss this morning. Hubby—Just as you say—call her in. The Ideal Husband Speaking of well-tamed husbands, there is one who waits in -> barber shop while his wife has her air bobbed. Only One Face To Shave This observation I have traced In sailing o’er life’s main: Although a man may be twofaced, He gives no barber gain. An amusing incident occured in one of the local groceries a few days ago. It is related that a certain man living a few miles froßi town but whose name was not revealed, while walking abstractedly about the store discovered an open barrel which he mistook for rich, yellow corn flakes, and picking up a handful dashed them into his mouth. One crunch served to reveal his mistake .and it also caused him to fram’ at the mouth like a canine with an attack of rabies. It was soap flakes he had attempted to masticate. Those who still believe that Uncle Sam should have joined the League of Nations may find ccmfort in this: When the earthquake disaster struck Japan, the United States immediately sent $10,000,000 as “first aid.” The league of nations, composed of 52 countries, telegraphed to Japan its condolences. The Journal is in receipt of a complaint that some girls do not conduct themselves lady-like at the swimming pool on South Huntington street. Therefore, take notice, girls. Give heed to this: What the world needs is less permanent waves and more permanent wives. t ■ G The hard part of it is that the ' people who are looking for trouble aren’t the only ones who get it. After he has married “the girl of his dreams” he finds that he has to wake up and go to work. A girl may think a fellow is a man after her own heart when he is really after her money. “Letting well enough alone” is a foolish motto in the life of a man who wants to get ahead. Feminine front-porch campaigns are now in full sway throughout the country. The leading bone of contention is the jawbone; then comes the trombone. If you must throw mud ,why i not be a ditch digger?
