WE SHIH 14) BE THANKFUL Well can America Express gratitude for bountiful harvests, for continued material prosperity. and for liberties enjoyed. No nation in the world has greater cause to give thanks. And as a community. Syracuse has been particularly blessed. Looking back over the past year we find many mercies and benefactions which cannot be measured or weighed. Sickness has come into our community and death has left its shadow in some of our homes. But we knowthat all things work together for good among those who follow the teaching of the Great Master. The business, religious, educational and social life of our community has pace with progress, and our people have lived in peace and harmony with neighbors in that spirit of bro therhood that makes for real friendships. With hearts tilled with peace and contentment we join the whole nation in a song of gladness and hope, and as a community pledge anew a continuation of that citizenship which is based on the faith that ' every good gift comes from above.” J ■ ■„, , , -Q " ! — DEATH OF J.

PREDATORY FISH REMOVED Predatory fish such as gar and dogfish to the number of several thousand were this summer and early fall removed from various porthem Indiana lakes. That Such work will go far to better ihe piscatorial sport in public Raters, everyone familiar with ihe destruction these species do io small game fish, readily admits. According to the forthcoming annual report/ of George bi. Mannfeld. superintendent o f fisheries and game for the state conservation department, game wardens removed from twelve lakes and one stream, a total ot 1.958 gar; 332 dogfish and* t>s large carp. Gar pike killed, (averaged 4 pounds in weight while dogfibh averaged 7 pounds. Ihe largest gar weighed 14 pounds and was 52 inches long. The largest dogfish weighed 15} pounds. Fish Lake in Steuben county provided the largest number of gar. 33S being taken from: also (88 dogfish. A total of 285 gar and 3 dogfish were taken from Clear Lake, in the same county. The largest single day’s catch of gar was 57 taken from Clear Lake. Two crews of men handled this work, using gill nets, trammel nets and spears, and working from motor boats. The predatory fish congregate in the deejper holes of the streams in the late spring and then &ets proved the most effective weapons. In the lakes the wardens used floating gill nets and spears, each being about equally successful. Nets were set in the evening and lifted the \next morning. Spearing was done on favorable nights when lakes were calm wartlens using motor boats and lighting up the waters with flambeaus. The twelve lakes from which wardens removed these objectionable fish were Wawasee, Gage. Big Long. Clear, Winona, and adjacent lakes. Tri-lakes, Fish. Shipshewana. Manitou. Ridinger. Loon and Bear. Wardens also worked in Deer Creek in Putman county and were very successful. o_ — GROWTH OF f'ORK TREES Upwards of 50' per cent of the world’s cork is produced in Spain and Portugal. The finest is grown in various parts of the provinces of Seville. Badajoz, Cadiz. Huelva, Barcelona and Salamanca. The age of maturity varies in different parts of the same tree. From eight to nine years is required by the trunk, from ten to twelve years for t%£ first branches and from eleven to twelve years for the second branches. Not to be outdone by the United States, the British government proposes to finance a plan that w ill reduce 165 electric generating stations to 13. The recently appointed Central Electricity Board estimates that present rates can be cut in half at least. It will take several years to perfect the plan, and the cost will probably exceed five thousand millions of dollars. Fkigland believes in government control of utilities as well as business and makes it profitable.

VERMONT HARD HIT A comprehensive survey of the damage caused by the floods in Vermont and New England shows that the heaviest blow fell upon the district along the Winooski River and Otter Creek which flows into Lake Champlain. These lowlands include the best farming sections in Vermont, and their losses are difficult to put into figures. The loss of cattle is estimated at 15,990. The destruction of bridges and highways is estimated at 19 millions. The Idfcs of homes, outbuildings, etc., will mount up to more than 2 smillions and the loss to mills will be more than 3 millions. There are now’ some 5,000 homeless people receiving aid from the Red Cross in Vermont and about 2.000 more in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Farmers lacking means to restore their property, faced with heavy tax burdens, are abandoning the farm and seeking wage earning jobs. The sturdy Vermonter is compelled to seek outside aid. and the appeals now

Since the United States government is entering upon a general policy of flood prevention in the Mississippi, the Colorado and Columbia valleys, it is only reasonable that Vermont should be included in the program. BETTER SIRGERY METHODS A man may go usefully about his work' minus a leg, an arm, an eye, his tonsils, appendix, gall bladder, one kidney, part of his lungs and brain and as much as twelve feet of his intestines, Eh*. John F. Erdman of New York, is authority for the statement. He told the Interstate Post-Gra-duate Medical Association that the number of organs a human being can afford to lose to the knife is steadily increasing, due to better methods in surgery and increased knowledge of the functions of organs. Recent developments, he said, were operations on the heart, the removal of entire lobes of the lung and the removal of the gall. o — ~ A classified ad will sell it.
