GALLI-CURCI AT WINONA Galli-Curci, the world’s greatest soprano, is coming to Winona I Lake for the third time. Wednesday evening, August 13. She is coming because hundreds of music loving people want to hear her, again, and are already seeming reservations in the great Billy Sunday Tabernacle where !she will give her recital. ■ There is no more popular artiist before the public today. Her •writings in current magazines I have attracted wide attention., Early -reservations have been. ! n ci s.-ary if one wished to hear iier in any recital during the ...i-t year. I Galli-Curci is one of the few, artists who aie capable of ap-i pealing to both the cultured mu-| sic-lover and to the person who knows nothing of music, but j it only for its own sake. J his is a rare combination. It springs from personality, which is something that art in itself cannot ever hope to reach. Mme. Galli-Curci was the first artist to use the big Tabernacle, and pronounced its acoustic propel ties perfect. Winona Assembly is fortunate to have Galli-Cur-ci August 13. — —. bi<; pieri RE at south bend ■ —1 Bigger biggest circus.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1924.

I WAWASEE PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATIO> (By A. L. X.) The annual meeting cf the Lake Wawasee Protective Asso ciation took place last Saturday evening, Aug. 2, at the Soutt • Shore Inn. i The usual number of repre jsentative members were present The president, C. J. Stein, pre ■ sided. The minutes of the las! 'annual meeting were read and s approved. The president apt pointed the following committee !cn nominations: I. C. Dehaven hairman; Charles Gorham and , Frank Remy. • . A rising vote of thanks was ! tendered Robert Sinclair for the : active membership campaign he waged during the year and for the time and money he gave to the work. There was some discussion as to policing the Lake; it was finally left to the discretion, of the Board of Directors. z The sanitary condition of the Lake came up for discussion; after many valuable . suggestions, it too was left in the hands of the Directors. The president then called on Haines Egbert for remarks, Mr. Egbert smilingly declined to start trouble of any kind. The nominating committee made their report: Robert Sinclair. for President; William Noll, for Vice President; Frank Abbott, for Secretary-treasurer; Frank Remy and Roy Adams, Directors.- On motion, there being no objection, the renort was received and the officers unanimously elected. The President at once resigned his chair to the newly elected President, Mr. Robert Sinclair, of Chicago and Wawasee. A rising vote of thanks was tendered the out-going President for his interest and work for the ‘•riranizaticfi during the year and to George L. Xanders, for his many years of untiring service to the Association, from the time it was in swaddling clothes, until now when it should go forward in its work by leaps and bounds and win for Lake Wawasee, the summer resort supreme of Indiana, statewide recognition. The matter of a public pier was again threshed over without coming to any decision. Other matters came upt for discussion, of such vital importance, that on motion it was decided to meet again the third Saturday in August. at the same time and place. A guest, Mr. Schmidt, of Indianapolis, was asked if he had anything to offer; he sure had—and he certainly handled the Association and the editor cf this Without gloves, in language more forceful than elegant. It was no fault of his if he did not succeed in waking the Association out of what he considers a Rip Van Winkle sleep. At the mie time he gave valuable information as to the play of the “trump hand” in the political tame. In regard to his remarks about he “sleeping sickness” of the Association, I take exception. The people who are really afflicted with that fatal disease, are the commissioners, or whoever they are, that should have the interest of the whole state at heart. Then Lake Wawasee would come into *ts own —and on its shores would be a Park, worthy of the state. Not one of the State Parks is so well known in this or adjoining states as Lake Wawasee—but those commissioners are so sound asleep, that nothing short of a torpedo will ever wake them up long enough to find out the truth about this wonderful gift of nature and of man, to the state. If a torpedo alone will wake them up, then a torpedo it should be.

GLADIOLI INHIBIT Henry Beer, of Milford, grower of choice gladioli, will have a gladioli exhibit at the Gibson Variety Store, on Wednesday. August 13.

All neighbors and friends are welcome. 14-2 t.

THE WAYSIDE CHATTER In no country in the world is law more respected than in America, because here the people themselves make the laws. But now. for the first time. William :H. Seward of New Hampshire I said in the Senate, "Above all j acts of Congress there is a law. a divine law of justice and of freedom which compels us, through conscience, not to obey the order of the government and • not to return the slave to his i master.” j This feeling of opposition was greatly augmented throughout I the north bv the publication of | “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”, by Harriet (Beecher Stowe. In a single year I over two hundred thousand conjies were sold? Mrs. Stowe’s object was to show what the life of a slave really was. People who ■ took up the book could not lay •it down until they had finished .reading it. No arguments, no denials, could shake the influence of the story. From this time on a silent revolution was in progress, the forces for slavery and those against it were girding themselves for the terrible struggle. The great leaders of the nation on both sides. Clay. Webster, and Calhoun, had died. New men were taking their places, Chas. Sumner representing the north, lefferson Davis the south. In the battles which these men fought in words we have the contest which was soon to end in civil war. They felt the time was near at hand waen this nation must stand wholly free or wholly for slavery. About this time Franklin Pierce, of Ne’v Hampshire, was elected president of the United States by "the Democrats, over General Scott the Whig candidate. The Whig party had almost ceased to exist by the election, in 1856. The free-soil? ers declared it died of an attempt to swallow the fugitive slave law. About this time a qew political party came into existence, called the Knownothings. They had a secret organization and their object was to exclude all but native American citizens from office, ta check the power of Catholicism, and to oppose the admission of foreigners to citizenship except after a long residence here. The Knownothings became a national party and had considerable influence for a few years and then died out. In 1831 Cyrus McCormick pat ented his machine for reaping grain and later improved it so that it bound the grain into sheaves. William H. Seward, then Secretary of State, said in 1859. owing to McCormick’s invention, the line of civilization moved westward thirty miles every year. It was agricultural machinery that made the western farms profitable and caused the railroads to. fill the west so rapidly. L. A. NEFF o— ' TO ftESURFAUE PAVEMENT The Dixie highway, south of Goshen for a distance of three miles to the present detour has been closed to allow workmen to resurface the pavement, it was announced by B. C. O’Brien, state highway superintendent for this district. A detour is being plainly marked which commences at the road just north of the Goshen college and goes east one mile, then south three miles and west half a mile into Baintertown and then west to the main highway. BASEBALL AT SOUTH BEND Bill Killifer’s Chicago Cubs of the National League will appear at Springbrook Park. South Bend, Thursday. August 14, at 4 p. m. Entire team guaranteed. Either Vic. Aldriflge or Grover Alexander will pitch for the National Leaguers with P. Hartnet catching. • o- — BROKE ELECTRIC LIGHT POLE John Egbert ran his car under the guy wire of an electric light pole on Huntigton street and in the alley in the rear of the Jet White Groceteria last Saturday. The impact caused the pole to break about 6 feet from the top. Sunday mpming a new pole was put in its place. L, o-— BAKE SALE On Saturday morning, Aug. 9, at 10 o’clock the Evangelical Ladies Aid will have a sale of baked goods at Strieby’s seed room.

GUARDING AQUmC LIFE ! Proper care of grounds and ■' particularly safeguardin' aquatic i j life in lakes and streams now jare recognized as among the foremost reasons why a recrcaticnal place is popular or mere--1 v attracts a mediocre crowd during the heated period. This is due, says Richard Lieb- , er, state conservation director, in part to the wide awake business men who see in Water resorts a great financial return for those communities so fortunate as to bo possessed of native beauty to lure the restless summer crowds seeking relief from the heat, of modern cities. A notable example of how individuals are cooperating with '.his department to exploit and to maintain lake resorts and parks in Hoosierland, is found at Lake Oliver in Lagrange County. Entering this splendid resort one is greeted by an imposing sign bearing this inscription: “This lake is stocked with bass bv the United States Government ar-d State of Ikhiiana Fish Hatcheries. Fish and Game laws must bo obeyed.” The S’.gn was paid for by Clyde A.* Walb, prominent Lagrange business" man, who caused it to be erected as a warning to fish pirates. It further serves to emphasize that leading citizens of rhe locality intend to see hat the beauty of Lake Oliver and its fne piscatorial sport are protected. COME AND HEAR It has been broadcasted to us from New York City, that a lieutenant of one of the greatest armies of the world, will be in Syracuse next Sunday, August 10. Do you want to hear him? He will be at Grace Lutheran Church, Sunday, August 10, for the 5 o’clock Vesper Service. This will be an opportunity you should not miss. It will be seven years before it will be possible for him to return to Syracuse, Ind. Why wait seven years? The average comet in the heavens will return to this country more often than this lieutenant. You. cannot afford to overlook this opportunity. The wonderful Lutheran choir ; will offer extra music for this special occasion, which you also should not miss Everybody cordially invited. Remember the time, 5 p. m., Vesper Grace Lutheran Church enn GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH Sunday school 9:45 a. m. _—___o — BIG DEMAND FOR GRAPES The entire output of grapes from northern Indiana and south- ' ern Michigan is being contracted for by buyers for an average of $65 per ton. The demand for grapes is the greatest ever • known in this section of the * country, and all growers expect enormous crops. With the,exception of peaches this is an ex- ' eellent fruit year, and losses of the last two seasons will probab- 1 ly be overcome by the receipts : this year. . o- —- SCHOOL TURNED OVER The Syracuse public school organization is now a thing of the 1 past. The school directors turn- • ed over the books, and over S7OOO ' in cash, to the town board at the meeting Tuesday evening, and ' this body will turn the money, ’ all records, real and personal pro- • perty, over to Bert Whitehead, the township trustee, m a few days. Thus the Syracuse public , school becomes a part of the , township organization. , MILFORD INFANT SUWUMBS ‘ ■ < Robert Walker, the twenty , months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. P. Walker, of Milford, who had his leg cut off by an interurban car in Milford about a month , ago, mention of which was made in the Journal, died Monday morning in the Goshen hospital, ( from septic poisoning. The body was taken to Pittsburg, Pa., the former home of we parents, for buriai. OPERATED UPON Mrs. John McGarity is in the Ft.

SOME THINGS TD THH ABOUT Review Things by the Editor As He Sees Tiio.in oji the Surface. Courtesy Pays Recently a matronly w®m°n from Washington City, going to La Porte, spent nine hours at the Union Station at Plymoi th,, waiting for a train to take her to her destination. She had been misrouted. She had two heavy grips. A- group of six Boy Scouts, from Wisconsin, were waiting at the Union Station, and she asked two of the boys if they would carry her two pieces cf luggage to the Lake Erie station. “Certainly,” they answered, and took a piece and accompanied her to the station. She took out hey purse, but they pleasantly laughing, declined any pay. She importuned? but they were decided, and she then asked to pay for two dishes of ice cream. They declined with thanks, and said that a Boy Scout wanted no pay nor favors for service. The lady -told this while she was waiting at the Lake Erie station. She said that there are many Boy and Girl Scouts in Washington, and that upon big public days when. there are crowds in the city, the buy and ■it 1 scouts (she nny have meant Campfire girls) have little booths n the streets and give information and do any service to strangers, and refuse to receive any p.cv fdr it. Telling Officer Carl Reynolds f these incidents, he said that last fall when he was judging races in South Bend he sent a c-.ry Scout to get his megaphone. bov brought it and Carl • -ached out a piece of to the bov, who thanked him but excused himself from accepting it. Upon being pressed to receive it he said it was a boy s?' ut rule never to accept pay for service. What has become cf the Boy Scout troop in Syracuse, the editor of the Journal asks? Justice is blind, too often, too blind. This is particularly true in relation to the thousands _ fake stock swindlers who beat the law and “get away” with the money. A'few, a very few are • unished, but fewer still a e compelled tc. disgorge or restore tie money stolen from widows and weak-minded individuals with the assistance of lurid lit-n-aturc distributed through the U. S. mails.

There have been countless resohitions and pious urotests to outlaw war. but the War Department goes right along doing business at the old stand in the old way. Abstract denunciation of burglary will not nut an end to housebreaking, and in this case something must be done, as well as said, to end war before those ?n authority will give it even «erious consi tie ration. A murder committed in Maine b • an ignorant poor boy, and an rmually cold-blooded crime in Chicago by over-educated wealthy youths, simply goes to show that environment has but little bearing on crime disease, and broadens the field suppled to define the limits of insanity. Glands mav explain murdet,. but do not mitigate murder. Nohndv blames the dog for .going mad and biting innocent bystanders, but at the same time nobody insists that a mad dog be <=imnly kenneled. And so it is with the two young intellectuals” of Chicago. The stpaw^ at is out of luck this vear.lCA full month after the date the manufacturers for donning the straw lid. caps and felts and even the old derby are most stronglv in evidence, and there’s good reason, tco. A Warsaw man recently lost a nccketbook containing $225. To show that his heart was in the right place he rewarded the honest finder with a $2 bill. Remember, if their were no difficulties in your job, any fool could fill it and it would not fill a pay-envelope. Savings and life insurance breaking Vt]! records. Did prohibition do it!
