Regardless of whether the hushand or wife is head of the house, the wife is the purchasing agent, and therefore the biggest spender. Some of our lady friends around Syracuse may dis- | agree with us, but here are a few figures compiled by Uncle xSam to prove it. Husbands produce approximately 70 per cent of the American; family income; wives spend 85 per cent of it. Uncle Sam estimates the spending value of women at $20,000,000,000. Our 23.000,000 housewives, he finds, buy more than SI,OOO of goods each minute. They purchase 50 per cent of all merchandise bought for family use and have a voice in buying 25 per cent more. And if our gentlemen friends think they pick out the car they are driving they are all wrong. Uncle Sam says women select more than half of the total number of autos sold. She buys 80 per cent of all dry goods and food products sold. Is it any wonder that the wise merchant directs the bulk of his advertising toward the women of the community? o “LI M BERLOST TRAIL” > The Millersburg Welfare Association by its president. Harry A. Beck, has written to the state highway commission requesting that the county road designated as road No. 42, commencing at Zinn’s corners and going east to Wolcottville be named “Limberlost Trait.” The home of the late Gene Stratton Porter is named Limberlost and is known all over the nation because of the popularity of Mrs. Porter as an author. Travelers have ’frequently inquired the location of Limberlost and the association thought it fitting and timely to have the road leading to the place named after it. ' O RATE OF TAXES The rate for Turkey Creek township including the rates for state and county funds is $2,12, with a poll tax of $2.50. The rate for Syracuse, including the rates for state, county, and township funds is $2.80, with a poll tax of $2.76. Wayne Township has the lowest rate which is $1.90. The highest township rate in the copnty is that of Jackson township, which is $3.00. The highest corporation rate in the county is that of Silver Lake, which is $3.60.

|l I 11 HOUSEHOLD HINTS' | . 1 i —— A safety razor blade with a 'strip of adhesive tape over one [edge makes a very good hand tool for ripping seams. To keep a dining table from sticking and binding when leaves are taken out or added, rub all the surfaces that bind with vaseline or soap. An ideal scraper for kettles and pans of aluminum ware is a broken clothes pin, as it will not' scratch the ware. - j Set cut flowers in a pail of water up to their necks each 'night if you would have them last. To remove fat from hot soup pour it through a cloth that has been rinsed in cold water, and tjae fat will remain in the cloth. Use a good soap freely in dish washing. It will keep the china and glass lustrous if well rinsed off. Start your son or daughter to brushing the first lock of hair as well as the first tooth. When cutting cake, which is iced, put your knife in boiling water for a few seconds. You will then be able to cut without the icing breaking. Ifx you plan a few white dresses next summer, you can take advantage of the January white sales, and gain a little time in making them up before the bulk of the spring sewing is under way. As white garments have to be laundered frequently, be sure to choose materials, with a firm., close weave, and soft texture, for best results. Farmers’ Bulletin 1449-F, Selection of Cotton Fabrics, will give you considerable information about the best materials for various purposes. The nearer your dish closet is to your sink, the fewer steps needed to put the dishes away after they are washed. An ideal way is to have the dish closet in the connecting wall between the dining room and kitchen, adjacent to the sink on the kitchen side. Clean dishes are taken out in the dining room, and used ones are passed through the closet to be washed and put away without unnecessary steps. A porterhouse or sirloin steak an inch and a half or two inches thick can be broiled in the gas oven. Trim off excess fat and wipe with a damp cloth. Grease the rungs of the broiler and place the steak on it underneath the flame. Do not close the door. Sear on one side, and turn, beingcareful not to break the tender coating which holds in the juices. When both, sides ore seared turn down the flame and cook the meat, turning to cook evenly. Add salt, pepper, and melted butter as soon as the steak is done, and serve at once. o_ TRUCK HIT BY TRAIN — Clarence Hickman, of Pierceton, narrowly escaped death' shortly before noon Friday when the large truck he was driving was completely demolished by the north bound Fig Four passenger train at the Catheriffe street crossing, Milford. Hickman suffered a broken left arm at the wrist, a deep gash on the forehead over the right eye and a cut oh the neck, besides internal injuries. He was treated by Dr. E. E. Stockberger and later taken to the McDonald Hospital .Warsaw. .Witnesses saw Hickman drive on the tracks unaware of the approaching train. He was enroute to Syracuse after a load of stock. o SOUTH SYRACUSE Mr. and Mrs. Jud Searfoss visited their daughter and family at Nappanee Sunday.

THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL

THAT LAUNDRY BAG The sight of one of those familiar, khaki colored laundry kits i starts a long train of thought. j Yea’-s ago, when times and students’ tastes and laundry prices were different, the laundry bag business done by the postoffice department was a small item. Twenty or twenty-five years and more ago students did not send their laundry home. Fifty cents would\pay the wash lady for a pretty\ big assortment, of stuff. Now they say they get off for less than a dollar and a half. The laundry bags that come to Syracuse are just a few, of course. But they help to make up the great mountain of them that fills the postoffice in almost every college town once a week. Not long age, in a college town a reader saw a truck piled high with them at the pastoffice, being made ready for their home trip. In most cases, he thought the kit is just another weekly chapter in the story of the ambition of some mother back home who is helping to send a boy or a girl through school. The little bag means a weekly saving of a dollar or more —a dollar that will buy books, meals, room rent —and in too many eases something much less essential. Os course dad sends the checks. But it would be interesting to know just how many backaches—-and heartaches, too are given without grudge or stint by some mother in the cause of education. oJ THE OLD WOODBOX Town boys of today don’t have so many chores to do as did the boys of a generation back. There was, for instance, the old wood box. dont’ see many wood boxes any more. Most of our cooking,is done with coal or gasoline or electricity. But 25 years ago or more almost every kitchen had its wood box. I don’t remember the exact measurements of the old fashioned box, but when a kid had to All it morning and evening, carrying the armloads of sticks from the woodshed, it had a wonderful capacity. It was a Moloch whose appetite was never satisfied, no matter how much of our sacrificial offering we threw into its yawning internals. November was the time of year the wood box vexed us •most. The warmer months had been easier. And Sh November, with the glorious play of the chill out doors, there was less time for chores in the shortened days. What, I wonder, has become of those fine old games—shinny, and old sow, and dare base, and soak ball? They didn’t require as much equipment as golf, nor as large a course. But they were just as attractive to a healthy kid—especially at the time he ought to be filling that wood box.

If not, you may wake up in eternity some day and find, to your dismay, that he told the truth after all. Does God mean what he says? If not, what does he mean? If every one has a right to guess, is correct? Guessing is dangerous. Let’s get the habit of going to Church and prepare for' time and Eternity. R. G. Foust. Pastor.
