Kissinger presided in absence of Rev. McMichael. who is in Kalamazoo. * Rev. Nicodemus of Milford gave a splendid address on "The Inspiration and Authority of the Ministry.” which was followed by a discussion. A resolution was presented ,and uiu&imously adopted by the association concerning the dance hall proposition in this courty. The following is the resolution: "We, the KoWiusko County Ministerial Association, desire to join with the other civic and religious associations who have expressed themselves as opposed to a dance hall at Winona Lake on account of the history, influence and moral uplift for which this great center has always stood. * “Further be it resolved that we protest against the opening of dance halls on Sunday in this county, 'since it is a violation of the state law of Indiana* and is in direct opposition to the moral and spiritual welfare to society. We urge citizens of the county and state to vote for seniors and representatives who will favor legislation that will strengthen and enforce the present law by making the penalty adequate). "We also desire to commend the prosecutor, Mr. Rockhili, and Sheriff Maloy. for Hie stand they are taking on this proposition, and pledge our loyal support.” Signed by committee, J. H. ROYER, J. A. GORDON, C. L. REES* Secretary. • ' -O- ■ TO SERVE SUPPER The public will witness an unusual event at Cromwell this Thursday evening when the men of the Lutheran Church and Sunday School there will serve a public supper in the church base- ‘ ment. The entire meal from beginning to finish, will be prepared and served by the men* and a sign “No Women Allowed” will be posted in the church kitchen. The women, however, will have in opportunity to taste “hubby's” cooking. A very attractive menu has been prepared and from every indication those who patronise the affair will not be disapliomted either in the character of the edibles, nor in the unusual manner of service. ■ * * NAMED, COUNTY MANAGERS County managers in four congressional districts were announced last week by campaign managers for Senator James E. Watson. In the Thirteenth district, Morrison Rockhili. of Warsaw, and Mbs Mamie McLaughlin, of Milford, were named managers in Kosciusko county. o— SOUP SALE 23 rd, tu6 rouowra* sump**

WORK STARTED ON NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH I The new Catholic church and parsonage now under construc- ■ tion at Lake Wawasee, will be 1 completed July 1.1926, at a total ! cost of about $50,000, according to* William H. NolL of Fort Wayne, who is financing thte building. Mr. Noll, with the approval of Bishop John F. Noll donated the lots bo the Fort Wayne Cathohc diocese and started the church construction for the benefit of both summer colony and the permanent Catholic population. Mr. Noll who is now on a vacation at Miami, Fla. in a letter to the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel gives the following information concerning the church, its surroundings and his purpose in presenting it to the Catholic diocese: “1 have long ago seen the need of a Catholic church at this beau-! tiful resort, as the nearest Catholic church to this lake is located at Goshen, seventeen miles distant. To drive this distance, attend services and return to Wawasee consumes almost the entire Sunday morning*. This makes it unhandy for Lake Wawasee cottagers and Sunday visitors. “Many Catholic families have refrained from going to Wawasee over the week-end on this account Besides, there are many Catholics located in nearby villages and on surrounding farms who perhaps do not possess an automobile, And thus are seldom able to attend Sunday services. “These conditions prompted nfte to donate the lake lots and erect the church after receiving Bishop F. Noll’s full and hearty approval. Contract for erection of the building has already been awarded and July 1 is set as the date of its completion. * “The new church and parsonage will be located on the north shore of the lake, approximately 500 feet east of the new $350,000 fire proof hotel notw being erected on the site of the old inn. The church and parsonage when completed md fully equipped will cost approximately $50,000. ‘The style of architecture will be typical Spanish, stucco plaster on hollow tile, with Campanile bell tower and variegated tile roof. It will have a seating capacity of 250. Robert Stevens of Huntington. lnd„ is the architect. “Lake Wawasee is the largest and most beautiful lake in the state. It's length is estimated at seven miles, the width averaging two and a half miles. The summer population of this lake is now' estimated at about 20,000, and the shore line is almost completely built up with beautiful cottsgea . The new church and hotel will be only a little over an hour’s auto ride from Ft Wayne on the Lincoln highway, which is now paved almost the entire distance. Because if its great convenience it will enable Fort Wayne Catholics to spend Hie week-ends at Wawasee, attend services, and en joy a full day’s outing and pleasure at the same time. The lake frontage has already been dona ted to the Catholic diocese and the erection of the church and parsonage has been started. - ' BIRTHDAY PARTY Mr. ami Mrs. Bert Ward entertained the following relatives and friends at dinner on Sunday, the occasion being Mr. Ward's birthday.

THE WARNER ROAD Syracuse sent a large delegation to Warsaw Thursday looming of last week, where a hearing of the Warner road improvement was held before a represen- * tative of the state tax commission. The proposed improvement, which) may amount to $150,000, calls for the paving with concrete of the Warner road which extends around the south side of Lake Wawasee. Remonstrators c object to having the road built a under the county unit plan, v whereby the entire county is tax- p ed to pay for the improvement. a Os course. Syracuse and Turkey p township residents are in j favor of this road improvement p (with the exception of a few), and the majority of the remon- e , strotors, or kickers, reside in c< other townships. t< o a LYCEUM COURSE ri The third number of the Cl lyceum course will be given at e] the M.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. Who'd Have Thought It? If you'd tell the average Syracuse man that over 500 patents i year are granted to women inventors. he w'ould naturally sup)ose they were on household irticles. And he would be surrrised to know, as you will ioubtfu] be* that only about 50 >er cent of the patents secured >y women are for household equipment. The other 50 per ■ent range from automatic pis;ols to train safety devices, with ■— l good sprinkling of auto accesso‘ies and improvements. Quite a ew women have invented agriultural implements now in gen:ral use. Here, it seems, is a lew field open to the fair sex. If hey can’t earn pin money in any ther way they can put their trains to work along inventive ines to good, advantage, bec|use he patent office passes favorably . . n anything that is really ■worth rhile and never asks whether it ras invented by a woman or a nan. Help! Help!' We hear of a lady over at Napanee who caused great embarasrjient to her husband, and aughter when they accompanied er to a movie show a few nights go. As the story is told, there ras a place in the film where he cook got mad and quit her ob, announcing that she was gong out to hunt for another posiion. “I’ll hire you,” announced the fappanee lady, rising to her seat, rithout realizing that it was all movie play.
