Early in the daughter's life her parents removed to Indiana, making their home successively at Pierceton, Warsaw and Syracuse. The deceased was a graduate pupil of the Warsaw High School.

Mrs. Knorr was an honored member of the Order of the Eastern Star, as well as being a member of the Needle Craft Club and the Wednesday Afternoon Club. During the pastorate of Rev. G. M.

SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. Next! What is a barber shop? It used to be a place where men sat around in their shirt sleeves, waiting to get their hair cut, and talked about rough male persons named Dempsey and Ruth. Now it is a place where mon stand around in polite attitudes, with their coats on, and talk about the Success of the last church picnic, while some sweet young thing named Ruth is getting her neck shaved after having her hair shingled. Why are the men all standing? Because all the chairs are occupied by ladies who got in the shop ahead of them! More About Mary’ Mary had a bathing suit It was cute without a doubt, But after she got in the thing The most of her was out. A gentleman from Indianapolis at the meeting of the Wawasee Protective Association accused the editor of the Journal of being "asleep”. Let’s see about this. Whenever the Protective Association wanted and needed any publicity of its activities and doings, the Journal always willingly gave it. Rob. Sinclair, one of the directors, on several occasions sent us articles concerning the Association, for publication, and we gladly gave them space. Mr. Sinclair can testify as to this. The gentleman from Indianapolis is not a reader of the Journal, hence he does not know what publicity we gave the lake and* its people residing thereon. It is easy to find fault and criticize, but not so easy to remedy the faults as a person sees them. However, if a person desires to criticize he should find out the ! facts first and not criticize un- / justly. As to being asleep we ' will wager a tin horse against a blind mule that we put in mnro time in conducting the Journal than the gentleman from Indianapolis, whp, if we are not mistaken, has a salaried position.

Some men take their troubles home to wife and family—and take pride in it. Others believe the wife has enougih troubles of her own and when they go home they leave all business and worries and cares at the Every business man in the world has his troubles and cares—and every man knows that 99 per cent of these troubles disappear after twenty-four hours. They are part of the game of life and the man who can meet them with a smile is the fellow who* wins out. Trials are but step-ping-stones to triumph. One can hear a lot these days about business being poor. But consider the hairpin manufacturer. Look what bobbed hair has done to him.
