SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4,

SYRACUSE SPLITS DOUBLE HEADER WITH MILFORD Last Wednesday night, before a crowd that occupied so much of the floor space as to seriously hamper the players. Syracuse first team lost a rough battle to the more experienced Milford quintet by the score of 18 to 8. At the sarfte time the second team brought in a win, 11 to 7. The crying need for a community "hall was again clearly demonstrated vrhen fully two hundred had to be turned away at the door, after the already too small playing floor was further restricted by the crowd that lined the south wall and circled the east end almost under the. basket. Both games were exceedingly rough, due partly to the crowds that lined both sides of the court but largely to the fact that the referee made no attempt to hold the players down and fouls were committed continuously. The lineup of the second teams follows: MILFORD m Miller. A McCloughen, f; Burns, s; Mock, g; Hamman, g. SYRACUSE (11) H. Gcdshalk, f; Ketring. f; Riddle, c; R. Godshalk, g; Kehr. g. Substitutions: Connolly for Ketring. Os the first teams the Shultz brothers shoived the best, both are good shots and both are quite husky. Syracuse forwards are light and did not have room to vet aw&y for their shots. Many misses registered on both sides and roughness was the rule. The lineup: MILFORD (18) R. Shultz, f; H. Shultz, f; Hollar, c; E. Miller, g; Sechler, g. SYRACUSE (8) Hoelcher, f; Auer, f; Godshalk, c; Snevelv.’g; Shock, g. Substitutions: Hamman for Sechler; Connolly for Godshalk. Referee: Thorne of Warsaw. JURORS DRAWN The= following jurors were drawn by the jury commissioners for the December term of the Kosciusko Circuit Court: Grand Jiirv F. E. Snaop. Washington twp.

THE WAYSIDE CHATTER Editor Journal:— ■- We are still at Guntersville, ‘ Alabama. There are three noted rivers rising in the eastern part of the United States and flowing westward into the Mississippi, the father of rivers. We cross all three on our way to the Southland. We cross the Ohio at Louisville,’Ky. It empties into the Mississippi near Cairo, 111. Then we cross the Cumberland river at Nashville. Tenn., and the Tennessee river “near Guntersville, Ala. And they empty into the Ohio river near its mouth at Paducah, Ky. We are passing through the land of battles in the Civil war. When we were ton the battlefield of Chickamauga, we thought of Ben Hentzel. We might be on the very spot where Bennie was wounded in the bloody battle of Chickamauga. The writer was well acquainted with J. E. Bynum, who once lived at Gadsden, Ala. He fought in the two days battle of Chickamauga and here is his story: “I was a soldier in the Confederate army in the sixties. I was in the battle of Chickamauga, September 20. 1863. It was an awful day and yet a bright beautiful day. We Confederate soldiers had a breastwork of old rotten logs we had picked-up and put together. It was about two feet high when the picket firing began. We dropped down behind those logs. The yankees threw a cannon ball in the top of an old dead pine and cut it off. It fell within thirty feet of where I was. About this time the drum and fife played “Dixie,” which braced us for the fray. Then the command was given to charge and over the breastworks we went. Then followed the roar of cannons, the bursting of bomb shells over our heads, the blood, the shrieks, the cries, the groans, and we were gone. On and on we went with our flags floating through the breeze. The battle still raged, the Greys pressed it hard. Finally the Dixie boys raised a rebel yell and made double leaps and bounds with the ourpose of victory or death. And the Yankees went the other way and victory ours. But how ed. Twenty thousand men had been killed, four or five thousand women had been made and more than ten thousand children made orphans. Truly war is hell. “The widows of many private soldiers were in their lonely private homes awav over behind the hills in their pole cabins with a meager support, the persnnal property consisting of a blind horse and a one-horned cow and most of the families with five or six little ragged, hvngry children. They all got the news of a great battle but the -casualties are not known. Finally the awful intelligence comes, your husband was killed in the battle of Chickamauga. The mother and larger children weep bitterly; how dark is the future.” We talked with another Confederate soldier who had a curio shop on the battlefield on the top of Lookout Mountain. He said the first battles he was in he was scared so much he could not shoot. He said men were falling around him all the time, and he certainly hated a colored man. We leave Guntersville on a concrete paved road. We soon begin to climb up Sand Mountain. It is paved nearly across its top and we have concrete road for about thirty miles. Soon after we leave the mountains we come to the city of Gadsden. From here we drovethirty miles and came to the town of Center, a county seat. Here we went to camp, the night of October twen-ty-fourth. L. A. NEFF o~ ANOTHER AUTO ACCIDENT Delbert Hastings, well known Milford druggist and his wife, are both in the hospital at Goshen. as the result of injuries received on Sundaw'when the touring car in which they were riding turned over near New Paris. The machine was owned and driven by Elmer Doty, of Milford. but he escaped with a number of bruises. Mr. Hastings sustained a broken collar bone and was badly bruised about his body and Mrs. Hastings was badly hurt. o W. A. CLUB Mrs. Joe Rapp was hostess to | the Club

BEEKEEPERS TO MEET The State Beekeepers’ Association will hold its annual convention at Indianapolis on Del- - 18 and 19. according to : announcement made by Frank N. jWa 11 ac e, state entomologist, I whose division of the conservation department directs the work of bee culture for increased honey production in Indiana. The meeting will be in the Statehouse. Among- the ten or more speakers for the convention will be E. R. Root of Medina, Ohio, recognized bee expert of the nation. For years Root has traveled into all parts of the United States, and in person will now tell Indiana beekeepers some of his observations how to promote the industry. His three subjects for this convention are: “The Package Bee Business.” “Some New Opportunities in The Southland.” and “Some New Developments in Bee Behaviof.” Harry F. Dietz, assistant state entomologist, will talk on “The Role of The Honey Bee in the Pollination of Plants.” Mr. Dietz is an entomologist of broad experience. He spent several years in the Panama Canal Zone in the emnloy of the U. S. Government. He willxgraphically describe how the production of honey is not‘only a money making business for the small farmer, but will point out how the honey bee is essential in the production of crops. Only a few years ago beekeeping in Indiana was conducted in a haphazard manner, with inferior grade bees producing limited amounts of honey of negligible quality. It has frequently been proved, that many people are I making more profit off a stand of bees than an acre of corn, and that for the small farmer, beekeeping as a side line gives handsome financial returns. The entomology division of the conservation department spefids about $7,000 a year for inspection and education in better beekeeping, and th s small expenditure is responsible for a business that now produces and markets honev annually to the value of more than $2,500. 000. . CharierO: Yost is state apiary inspector and will talk at various sessions bn what inspection has done for Indiana beekeepers. •• WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Ed.

THINGS TO j THINK ABOUT I . Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. The Mirror And Civilization If anyone should ask you what invention or discovery has done i the most for this old world of tours, and you replied. “The J steam engine,” or “The telegraph,” you would be mistaken. Thev have done much for the world, but greater things still have boon accomplished by the—mirror. Don’t pass this by in derision. Open the roof of the city's houses and peer in: you will see mirrors in the homes of the cultured but - you will find none in the houses of the vulgar. There is something the matter with the man \¥ho doesn’t want to see how be looks. You have . only to glance at his face to see what it is. The blood-shot eye and bloated lip that a man sees in theL morning after a night’s carouse do more for the cause of temperance than any amount of legislation. For if that man heeds what he sees he will do different ]y. but if he on dissipation he will finally grow to hate the mirror which tells him the ugly truth—he will avoid it, he will not look at it! / America s women are thcrmost beautiful on the face (of the v \ Do you why? It’s because \of the price of glass. Every woman can have a nirror on her dressinglable, and nost of them have a mirror in their handbags. \ Don’t laugh at the radiant feminine creature who pretepds to look in the shop window, but s in reality using the pane to see how she looks. That’»s what makes her so pretty! The mirror is the bulwark'of civilization. Without it we still would be wearing (ings in” our noses. The man who sees himself as others see him has begunf to grow. Ask This Question Every time you meet a big man—a man who has made an outstanding success of the thing he has undertaken to accomplish n life—ask him this question: “What is the biggest thing you have learned about business the one big idea which has done more for you than any other idea you have ever had?” The answers will /dually ason:sh you by thejr simplicity, but the unfolding of the thought will be instructive and inspiring. It is a'worth-while thing to do. Things are not rightly adjusted in a family when the wife and daughters wear six-button kid gloves and father* has to maintain the connection between his suspenders and trousers with a wooden peg. / Hundreds of basketball fans were turned awav Thanksgiving eve during the Milford-Syracuse game, thus demonstrating clearly that .we are badly in need of a community hall. Heard in a store where fresh ovsters are sold: Clerk —These are the best oysters we’ve had for a year. Customer —Let’s see some? that you’ve only had for six months. Consider the irony of fate. Mary Pickford grot a lot of money for just being cute. Most girls get only a husband for their efforts. A Boston educator values a high school education at $33,000. We fear some varieties wouldn’t bring that much in the open market. -d One magazine asks the question: Can* a man love more than one woman time? Not unless he is a millionaire. The man who keeps in the middle of the road these days is likely to get run over. “SAFETY LAST” the Oakland Theatre, | i : benefit of the (hiinmeraial I ! Club. " I _l
