Mrs. Charles Jarrett is improving slowly. She has been taken from her daughter’s home to her own. Mr. and Mrs. Mathias Warbel and daughter of near White Oak visited at the home of his brother, Daniel Warbel Sunday. Mrs. James Laughlin went home with her daughter. Mrs. Nell Crowen of Elkhart, to spend a couple* of weeks. a Sunday School and preaching service next Sunday morning and evening. Come and hear the gospel for that is what we get and that is what we need. Everybody welcome. Mrs. Fern Laughlin drove her car and took Miss Q Mary Warbel, who had been visiting her aunt, Mrs. Walter Rex and family, at Avilla for a few days, to her home, then came to hfer grandparents and visited for several days. Mrs. William Fisher and Mrs. Daniel Warbel called at the De Hart home Tuesday evening and found Mrs. DeHart much improved. She is able to be around but Mr. DeHart is still staying at home on account of injuries received last week. ■I • * NEW GUERNSEY CHAMPION Walker White & Sons, of Kosciusko county, have developed a new champion Guernsey cow of Indiana, Queen of York, No. 38226. Mr. White’s record is of especial interest in that it was done on a ten acre farm near Lake Wawasee in the midst of the greatest summer resort settlement in Indiana. Mr. White, who for a number -of years was a farm manager in Ohio, built a home near Wawasee in 1921 and decided to get Guernsey cattle. He bought Old Queen at the Elkhart County Guernsey Breeders’ Association sale, where she had been consigned by William Spaulding, of Vistula. The cow was placed on test last year, starting in her 12th year, and made a record of 15,571.30 pounds of milk and 717.98 pounds of fat, making her the state champion mature cow. The cow did not receive exceptional care and was milked only twice a day a good part of her year. U. The annual W. C. T. U. convention was held in the Evangelical church in this city Wednesday afternoon and evening. Mrs. Carrie Tomlinson, of Plymouth, gave a very interesting address in the evening on the subject of “Citizenship.” The meeting was well attended, not only by the people of Syracuse, but also a number of ladies from Warsaw were in attendance. Officers for the year were elected which are as follows.* Mrs. Ada Patton was re-elected president, Mrs. Lena Bauer was elected vice, president, Mrs. Jessie Boyer, corresponding secretary; Miss Eloise Mabie, recording secretary; Mrs. Will Gants, treasurer. An elaborate pot luck supper was served in the basement of the church. —!—...0.,, — FIND INDIAN SKELETONS Six Indian skeletons were unearthed on property owned by Tom Snook. contractor, of Fort Wayne, at Cedar Point, Lake Wawasee, where Mr. Snook is laying out some lots. It was while cutting down a high bluff that the bodies were discovered. The skeletons were buried to a depth of eight or nine feet, one of them being found with all of the bones in perfect conformation. ■

Now is the time to order bulbs and the sooner they are in the ground the better root system they will develop. Bulbs seldom look well planted 1 in geometrical beds out in the lawn. Tbeir natural location is in the outer edge of the shrubbery border or in among a bed of perennials such as shasta daisy, pyrethrum and columbine. The common varieties of bulb flowers are not extremely particular as to depth of planting. On the average the tip of the bulb should be placed two or three times as deep as the diameter of the bulb. After the bulhs are planted, spread about three inches of manure over them. This will greatly increase the size of the flowers and length of the stems. Tulips of the early flowering single varieties are especially hardy. These can be followed with some of the many varieties of Darwin tulips. One or two varieties of Collage tulips will prolong the blooming season. No planting of bulbs is complete without the yellow narcissus (daffodil). The emperor and empress are two popular varieties of daffodils carried by old seed and nursery , companies. Where space permits, a mass planting of poet’s narcissus is most effective. Write for a seed catalog and study the varieties described before ordering. In this way a selection of colors can be made which is usually more desirable than the mixed collections. _ o THE HICKORY NIT CROP There will be some hickory nuts this fall although not nearly as many as two years agi. when nearly every one got all they wanted and there were still plenty left for the squirrels, says the North Manchester News-Journal. As a matter of fact the squirrels usually get theirs first, for instead of waiting for the hickory nuts to fall to the ground, they go into the trees and cut off the nuts. It is not at all unusual to probe about a hollow tree or stump and find a peck or more of hickory nuts concealed in them. And the nuts will all have good kernels, too, for the squirrel has an uncanny instinct of unerringly picking out a nut free from worms and blight. Last year there were scarcely any hickory nuts and even the squirrels had to resort to acorns and other nuts for food. But this year there should be enough nuts to supply all the *nut gatherers, human as well as animal. ' ' -o - • NOTICE It is proposed to build a new fence around the Cable cemetery.

EX-GOVERNOR MrCRAY IS TEACHING SUNDAY SCHOOL Terre Haute, Ind., Sept. 11. — When Sunday morning comes at the United States prison at Atlanta, Ga., the convicts file into an auditorium for a Sunday school class under a very distinguished and a very famous teacher. He is none other than Warren T. McCray, former governor of Indiana, now serving a sentence in the prison as a result of his financial troubles of a short while ago. The former Governor has become an honor convict. During the week he works as a farm hand, on Honor Farm No. 2. On Sundays he does w’hat he can to remove the stain of the recent scandal by teaching a class of convicts. At least so says a letter received from a fellow prisoner from Atlanta today bv John A. Austermiller, Terre Haute postmaster. The letter is from John Reese, former Terre Haute deputy sheriff. now about to finish a sentence at Atlanta for alleged implication in bootleggers’ protection during the administration of Sheriff Wolfe two years ago. "We .are all doing work on the honor farm.” the letter reads. “Governor McCray who is working on the honor farm where I am just now, teaches our Sunday school class every Sunday morning.” RURAL MAIL SERVICE Indiana’s rural free delivery costs the government $3,411,780 annually, according to a report received at the postmaster’s office at Indianapolis. There are 1,229,281 persons served in Indiana as a result of the work of 4.823 mail carriers on the same number of routes in the state.. The total length of rural routes is 49,576 miles.
