One member, under date of June 22 writes us as follows: ‘Why can’t the motor clubs get this practice of stopping on paved roads to repair tires stopped? It is very dangerous to the ones doing it and passing cars. On my way back from Chicago it was necessary for me to go into the ditch to avoid a smash up be\msa of a parked car with tire trouble, putting my car and family in • danger. That burns me up.' “It would seem that for self protection as well as for consideration of others that everyone would take pains to get the car to the side of the road so as to do repair work without running a chance of beiftg killed or causing somebody etoe's death." iwima Has been eared by natural methods.

The father and head of the family group was designated to say "grace” before meals and with real heartfel#gratitude expressed to Providence the spirit of the moment. The day, the occasion and thecordial good will prevailing among those assembled will linger in their memories for long, long years. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Dolan, close neighbors for years, were guests and no doubt partook of the day’s joyous opportunity. /. With the exception of one, all the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the venerable couple were present. Kathryn Riddle, granddaughter, of Rosewell, N. M., who is ill, could not attend the reunion. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Riddle; Mr. and Mrs. leroy E. Riddle and children. J. Paul. Robert, Donnovan.

As late as 1852 it required six months to cover the trail from lowa to Sacramento. In 1861 the pony express established a record by carrying the first inaugural address of President Lincoln from the rail' head at St. Joseph to Sacramento. in seven days and 17 hours. Today, thanks to the development of our telephone system, any person in any part of the United States, at any hour of the day or night, can speak directly with any other person in any other part of the country. Lt takes the voice only one-fiftieth of a second to cross the continent by telephone. o / South Bend has a population of 119,910. according to figures based on the new city directory. Mishawaka has a population of 25,975, according to the directory.

When Mother Washed My Neck This here world is fu II of sorrow, And I guess I’ve had my share Since the day I peeled the hide off Fallin’ down the cellar stair. And the tooth-ache? Gee! I’ve had it— - Had *he mumps and chicken pox; And Tony Jones knocked most my teeth out, Day the gang was throwin’ rocks. Them was times of tears and wailing. But they didn’t count a speck As compared to pain and suffer i n When my mother washed my neck. Though a soldier, when he’s wounded. Only smiles and says, “aw heck!” I’ll just bet he yelled and hollered When his mother washed his neck. Meby Daniel faced them lions While his gaze their courage cheeked; But who knows how Daniel acted When his mother washed his neck? Some day when I am growed and married.

CAN HELP * * ' A good newspaper.is the re- . suit of cooperation,’not only of t the news staff, but of the readi era as well. The news gatherers, ; running here and there and ask- > ing questions, find only a small [ proportion of the news that [ I makes up any edition of a news- ( paper; the larger part comes from information furnished by the readers themselves. . A newspaper is a community ( enterprise, reflecting the life of t the community. Big news does [ not develop every day, nor is senisation a part of small-town journalism. It is the every-day happenings, the joys and sorrows of ; our friends and neighbors, the humdrum events, that make up a newspaper, and a good newsI paper reports them all. But it cannot report them without the aid of its readers. Seme Syracuse people have the erroneous impression that they become publicity seekers when they call the newspaper to report happenings ip their own family; others are too modest to report when they entertain, go visiting or other personal news items. People with such thoughts in mind should remember that a newspaper lives on news, and welcomes it from any reliable source. Without telephone calls, "tips” on coming events and other volunteer information the reporter’s life would be a hard one, indeed, and the newspaper scarcely worth reading. The Journal appreciates the valuable service rendered by a large circle of volunteer reporters, and our readers also appreciate them because they help to make a better newspaper. They are the best friends any newspaper can have, and we want all we can get of them. When you have any sort of news, call No. 4 or 846 and rest assured that you are doing this newspaper and every one of its readers a favor in telling us about a tip. _— - PRFRkKTS FROSTS A long distance weather forecaster with headquarters at Washington, who claims credit for predicting all the weather disturbances with which various reghftfe have bean afflicted this year so far, has taken another peep into the future and this is what he saw: An early winter, preceded by killing frosts, more tornadoes, a series of violent West Indian hurricanes, some of which may rival in intensity the Florida Hurricane of last September, severe hail storms, cloudbursts, more floods, and a markedly cool summer are among Brown's predictions. The period from July 7 until 11 will see “very dangerous frosts” in portions of the corn belt and as far south as the Ohio >and Potomac rivers, extending to the Atlantic seaboard. Brown warns. . o * TELEPHONE MEN MEET At the concluding session of the Northern Indiana Telephone Association convention held last week at the South Shore Inn, Lake Wawasee, the annual election of officers took place as following: Q R. Stoops, of Nappanee. president; Charles Koontz, of Bremen, vice-president; Roscoe Pontius, of Rochester, secre-tary-treasurer; Fred Pyle, of Laporte. director; J. W. Scott, of Warsaw, director.

FOREIGN SOIKS EXPERTS STUDY AMERICAN WORK Purdue University will be host ■to ab o u UJJSO distinguished . American and foreign soil speci- ■ alists on July 21, who will spend ! the day at Lafayette inspecting ; the agricultural experiment sta- - tion and experimental work bes ing carried on at the farms. The r party jrill arrive in Lafayette early in the morning on a special ' Pullman train, which is now f touring the Ufiited States, hav- : ing left Washington, D. C-, June - 23, at the .close of the ‘lntema- ■ tional Congress of Soil Science, - which was attended by 1,000, inf eluding delegates , from 25 na- • tions. Prof. S. D. Conner, M. J. • Plice. and p. R. Kunkel of Purdue were in attendance. The intinerary of the months trip includes stops in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Kansas. Missouri, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon. Washington, British Co- > lumbia. Alberta. Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Minnesota. lowa, Illii nois, Indiana, Ohio. Washington, D. C., New Jersey and New York. In addition to studying the soil regions of this country and Canada, the cropping systems and manufacturing establishments allied to the agricultural districts of the country, particularly. cotton spinning, fertilizer manufacturing, packing houses, flour milling and agricultural machinery, will be closely inspected. The toUr will be perhaps the most comprehensive ever made by such a large number of soil scientists in the history of the country, and follows a soil congress which delved deeply into every phase of soil study. The chemistry, structure, and bacterial life were reviewed at the Washington meeting, and fertility, methods of cultivation and other features were the subjects of numerous papers. Among the questions discussed, and which are being linked up withJthe present tour were what is/the maximum production pos&ible by the whole soil blanket of\the world? May we depend upon drawing ’fertility only from the upper foot or two of soil, .or may plant food be brought to the surface in soil moisture from lower depths? In other, words, is our supply of fertility a foot or a mile deep? Results of numerous experiments at Purdue which have gained national repute will be closely scrutinized by the visiting scientists. ° o TOO MANY HOLIDAYS The District of Columbia has set a pretty good example by refusing to allow its public schools to observe any more special days 05 special weeks. It found that setting aside this day or that week for some particular purpose was interfering with regular school* work. Hereafter* only the long honored and cherished holidiQrs will be observed. And we dont’t know but it is a very good idea. So far as both our schools and our business is coo cerned, we could get along wry well without so many holidays. Every Syracuse citizen has a, feeling now and th«i that he isn’t getting out of one holiday until it is tkne to celebrate another. Even if they are not expensive from the standpoint of actual money they mean a loss of time, and that’s about the same thing. Let’s stick to the oldtime holidays we already have and quit adding to the list others that really mean nothing more than an invitation to take another day off. o WINONA This year Winona is spending thousands of dqllars in improvements, a new sewage system, disposal pldnt and other things that will make it more and more the health giving place that it has been. Special features on the program this year are of vital interest to musicians and those who appreciate the spoken word. Albert Saivi, the world's greatest harpist will appear August 4. and Mme. Schumann-Heink, the beloved singer, will give a recital on August 16. This is her Golden Jubilee Tour and her farewell appearance rounding out fifty years before the public. "Elijah,” costumed and staged as a grand opera production, directed by W. Dodd Chenery, will be presented twice, July 14 and July 22. Numerous other events conferences; conventions, schools and gatherings will go to make up a busy and interesting time at Winona. o A flaw fled ad will seH it.

THINGS TO THINKABOUT r .Review of Things by Me Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. i ! z “Good Old Days” The millions who saw Lind- • ibergh witnessed the beginning > of a new jera. The next generation is going , to speak of the generation before I the airplane as “the J- good old . days.” There never were any “good old days.” In the "good old days” one hundred and twentyfive years ago wives expected to die off at forty, and at fifty ! most men were broken down. {The majority of working mankind was engaged in backbreaking labor that is now done for us by railroads, machinery, automobiles and more recently, electricity in the home. Central water, central lights, and central gas systems have relieved' u§ from endless drudgery. The physical hardships of the “good old days” were only ex- f ceeded by their intellectual poverty, banished for the humblest of us by the modern newspaper, magazine, book movie and graphophone. Just so these "good old days of 1927" will seem primitive and stupid and unendurable to our grandchildren. Those who have welcomed Lindbergh have participated in the beginning of a revolution in social and business life comparable with revolutions introduced first by railroad and then by the automobile. - _■ I Sigaais Downtown The other day I espied a Snappy Blonde And decided To talk with her Whereupon she told me To please observe The traffic rules Which I did And it said “Go” And I did.

This may be a hint to married men. i ii ■ [ A Flemish scientist declares that talking is less fatiguing to women than men. But why did it take a scientist to find it out? It’s a funny world. Old maids know best how to raise children and only the poor know how the rich should spend their money. Perhaps the reason that radio sermons are so popular is because there is no collection taken. Women are too conscientious to try to keep secrete. They don’t believe in confidence games. And now Bones hands us this: "It’s better to be loved and bossed than never to be loved at all.” How to live happily though married —Man wants night job, woman wants day work. The man who has never been “up against it” is t never likely to get very far. ' j It’s usually the young puppy who puts on a lot eg dog.
