| VISITED CHICAGO FURNITURE MART ■ - j- To have participated in the formal opening and dedication of ! the American Furniture Mart, 1666 Lake Shore Drvie, Chicago—--1 the world’s largest building—has ’ been the unusual and interesting experience of William Beckman, who has recently returned to: ‘this city. Dedicated to "better American! homes” and designed that manu-j facturers might assist the retail 1 furniture consumer in arranging : attractive window and store dis- ; nlays. the opening of the Ameri-1 Jean Furniture M°rt in Chicago! I meant to those who participated , in it what it would mean to a banker if there were but one gigantic bank building in the United States. From a trade standpoint, the Chicago market, as now created i by the American Furniture Mart Building, exhausted all previous records in any other city bv almost 100 per cent and to have participated in the thirty days • activities. Mr. Beckman declares, was in itself an education in furniture marketing. In sneaking of his recent trip to Chicago, Mr. Beckman said today* [ “The revolution in furniture ; dealing, created by the American , Furniture Mart already has its • effect in new and more attractive designs, substantial output, nd increased marketing facilities. all of which will benefit the home furnisher in decreased cost and better materials. “It has heretofore been necesisary for the furniture dealers from outlying cities to visit half a dozen furniture centers, wide-1 ly scattered throughout the United States. This travel and consequent hotel bills, incidental expenses, etc., has all had to be charged to the cost of merchandising and borne eventually by the consumer. Nnw it is possible to visit one building in which the 500 leading manufacturers of the United States are housed, and do all of your shopping under one roof. “From the 70,000 square feet occupied by the largest exhibitor down to the ‘typical’ space of 2.000 square feet, I found in the American Furniture Mart every conceivable article for household equipment. **The result was that I could compare lines of furniture under one roof, reduce the transportation expenses, and buv in the cheapest market. All of this saving is revealed in tne lower prices that we will be able to quote to Incal consumers. "The beautiful displays created by many of the manufacturers and the intelligent efforts that are being made to harmonize home furniti”*e and decoration will undoubtedly be a great stimulant to those interested in the development of better American homes.” Mr. Beckman predicted the fall season in the retail business will be the largest ever known in America. o ASKS $2,000 DAMAGES Lewis Stiffler has filed suit in the Kosciusko Circuit Court against William Redmon of Peru, asking damages in the sum of $2,000. The complaint charges, that Redmon bought land bordering nn Dewart Lake, near which lake the plaintiff also owns land, and that after the defendant caused a dam to be built in the outlet of the lake, causing the water to flow across the land of the complainant, he has been unable tc sow or raise crops or to pasture this land. ROUND TABLE CLUB The members of the Roupd Table Club are holding their first meeting of the fall season at the home of Mrs. Alldean Strieby, today (Thursday). A picnic supper will be served. —o — LAST CONCERT The concert given by the Syracuse school band last Wednesday evening was the last of this season. J . « O — O. E. S.

THE WAYSIDE CHATTER / The Missouri Compromise of 1820 closed slavery from territory north and west of Missouri. At the time it was made it was declared it should stand forever, but the end of that forever was not far away. About this time Senator Doug- : bs. from Illinois, proposed a bw, . the Kansas comnromise. The bill I was to cut Nebraska into twm ' narts. the lower portion was calIbd Kansas. Congress passed the bill and this set aside the Missouri agreement. Senator Dou.g- --[ las was hooted, mass meetings ' were held and manv images of ihim were burned. Mr. Douglas j said he traveled from Washing- • ton to Chicago in the light of his ' own blazing images. At this time a struggb com-1 menced between the north *>o6 ! I south for the possession of Kansas. Bands of men, armed with rifles commenced to pour into the state. The first movement came from the slave holdersrwhn crossed the Missouri river and commenced to settle in the new ter-' ritory. Very scon thereafter, came an armv of armed emigrants from Massachusetts and thev called their cluster of tents and lo?r cabins. Lawrence. Th°y came here for the double purnose of building homes and making the territory a fre« state. About this time the slave state men attacked Lawrence, plundered the town and burned the buildings. This roused the heart; of old Jqhn Brown, of Osawatomie, who had made a solemn vow to kill slavery. Brown got together a band of armed men, surprised a settlement of slave holders on Pottawatomie creek, took them from their beds, and murdered them. Then be cressed the Missouri river, burned considerable property, liberated some slaves and then shot a slave-hold-er. Brown was executed in 1859, at Charlestown, W. Va., for trying to liberate slaves in the state by armed force. Kansas'at last entered the union without slavery. Farlv in 1856 those who were pledged to resist the extension of slavery formed a new political party and they adopted the name of Republicans, the South called them Black Republicans, because thev opposed slavery. The Republicans nominated Abraham Lincoln* for president and he was elected in November. 1860. Thus in a nation of thirty million people the North was determined to bring about t’’e liberation of the slaves and the South saw they could no longer maintain the power they once had in Congress, for the free states now had a majority in the Senate and House of Representatives. In December, 1860, a convention was held in Secession Hall in Charleston, and voted that the union now between South Carolina and other states be dissolved by the first ©f February, 1861. Ten other states seceded. One senator said they had left the national .government a corpse, lying in state at Washington. L. A. NEFF BURGLARSUT 0, NO. WEBSTER Burglars entered the Bochman General store at North Webster Mondav night, and escaped wnth about $65 in monev and a sheenskin coat. North Webster has no nightwatch and the robbery was not discovered until the store was opened Tuesday, mornimz Sheriff Milo Maloy was immediately notified and accompanied by Officer Earl Burwell, went to North Webster early Tuesday morning to make an investigation. Officer Burwell secured a number of finger prints which may later aid in identifying the thieves. The burglars gained entrance to the store through a rear window. o— POLEN-HORMBRQOK Rawley Polen of this citv and Miss Kathleen Hornibrook, of Chicago, were united in marriage today (Thursday). Sept. 11. The ceremony was performed in Chicago at the home of the bride's sister. Mrs. John Porter. Both parties are well known in this city. The bride, for some time previous to her marriage was a bookkeeper in Wilt’s box factory, while Mr. Polen is associated with his brother, Vause Polen, in the management of the Oakland Theatre, also in paper hanging and painting. ‘ oELECTRICAL ENGINEERING A complete set of I.

! GAVE SPLENDID CONCERT | A large crowd went out to the tabernacle at Oakwood Park on ; Thursday night to hear the Royal Scotch Highlanders Band. It I was planned to have the concert |on the street in ftont of the • school house. buL_xus’ing to the irain that fell that afternoon and j evening those who had the management of the affair in charge, jhad to change the nlace. and it ■wa<s decided .at a late hour to ' the concert at Oakwood. AH lof the school hacks were pressed i into service and carried the people, who bad no-cars % out there ;and return free of charge. Even j though it was a bad night, the ! large tabernacle was filled with i music ’overs. The Roval Scotch ! Highlanders Band came as a rare tre°t to Syracuse people, as this jbaod came here onlv on an onen (date, otherwise it does not visit smaller cities. The band has a five months.’ engagement at St. Petersburg, Fla., beginning in December. ONE REGISTER DAY Important information concerning registration of voters has just been prepared bv the Indiana Flection Commissioners and this will be the official basis for all registrations this year. Under the new law*, voters who registered in 1922 and who have not moved out of their precinct in which thev voted in the . 1922 election need not re-regis-ter.

SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees The,m on the Surface. 1 Get Acquainted By the time this is in print, hundreds of parents around Syracuse will have turned their boys and girls over to the school teachers of this territory. For several months each year teachers have more to do with your sons and daughters than you have yourselves. Have you taken the trouble to get acquainted with them? Teachers —w hen they are good, earnest ones —are I the most, useful people in the world. But they can be of a great deal more use if they have the co-operation of the parents. It is your duty as a parent to help the school teacher understand your boys and girls, and when vou know them you have faith in them. Help them by teaching your children the duty of respect and obedience, for it is your fault, nr.t the teacher’s, :f your children ignore these two important things. So get acquainted with the teacher and you’ll soon find it has been a ■ rood thine for bote' of you—and - a better thing for the pupil. Built To Order "W k at is the matter with Smith? Got lumbago nr spinal curvature or something?” "No; he has to walk that way .to fit some shirts his wife made f or him.” The silver dollar, the “cart wheel,” is coming back into circulation, east as well as west. The Treasury has asked banks and civic organizations tc. encourage the paving and accepting of this coin. During the war about 26,060,000 silver dollars were • melted and the bullion sold to England to prevent a mutiny of the Indian troons who demanded rilver. The government is now purchasing silver again. Barbers, in national convention at Milwaukee, agreed that tonsorial practitioners should have a two-year college course at the least. Most barbers are, now able to flabbergast the average col- - ’ege professor on almost any subie?t —but with a college preparation .would indeed be an artist. The napers tell of a New York man who got drunk because his wife bobbed her hair, and of another man in another nlare attempting to commit suicide because his wife bobbed hers. Evidently the focls are not all dead: yet. There are many close finish •ontests, but it is well to remember that it takes a train only a fraction of a second to win a decision over an auto at the crossing. t If the bridegroom dances divinely and has a Valentino shine on his hair it’s a pretty safe guess they will make their home for the present with the bride’s parents. Wise old Ben Franklin said: “Don’t spend all you make.” But the jazz version of today seems to be: “Don’t make all you spend.” One of the greatest troubles about being a man is that it takes so mu4h longer to shave than it does to smear on a little powder. If ynu think seme praise is due him, Now’s the time to slip it to him, For he cannot read his tombstone When he’s dead. Should a woman have a college education? If she is good looking it’s not necessary; if she is not, it is not sufficient. The old bachelor, declares an observer, is a nrune in the human orchard; the spinster is a dried peach. Someone - has said. “Troubles never come singly.” No, they always wait until after you are married. A magazine writer states that marriage is no longer a game of chance. It’s a game of skill! The man who can’t say no dur- ; ing leap year is gonna have to *say yes the rest of his life.
