I JUNE BRIDES June has its reputation for brides and roses. Leland Kinsey, County Clerk, experienced a real rush in the marriage license department Saturday and issued the following licenses: Harold A. Hillpgas and E. Bernice Davis, both of Warsaw. Percy A. Hall, of Dallas, Tex., a teacher and Ida Webster, ay Ind., reefed teacher. Forest Russell Heyde, Scott township, and Frances Esther Knox, of Nappanee. Richard E. Rief, of Robinson, 111., engineer, and Miss Nelle Stone, of Syracuse, teacher. Walter S. Ross and Blanche Lowman, both of Warsaw. Virgilia Patterson, of Fort Wayne, and Eva Maggart, of Pierceton. Harold Lawson, of South Bend, anjj Bernice Sutherlin, of Warsaw. i Arthur Stine, of Adel, la., and Bertha Neher, of Warsaw. Theodore Gall, of Nappanee, and Violet Yeiter, of Atwood. o LOOK OUT FOR THEM The following is taken from the Ligonier Leader: “Word comes to The Leader that a band of salesman, representing their headquarters to be Cincinnati, are canvassing the country selling linoleum. They are said to have the cheapest quality of the article which they sell at high prices. They tried to replenish their stock from a Ligonier merchant but he had nothing cheap enough, showing the low quality of the article they sell. They called on a woman north of the city the other day and wanted to exchange linoleum for chickens. The woman told them she needed the chickens more than she needed the linoleum and would not dicker with him. That night her entire flock of chickens were taken. It will be wise to give suspicious strangers the road when they appear on such business and buy your household needs of your home merchant. o — n ' FLAG DAY Flag Day this year is notable because of the fact that for the first time in history, there is a federal to prevent desecration of the flag. After all these years the federal government has finally followed the lead of the different states in this matter and congress has passed such a bill. Os course,. no true American would wish to desecrate the flag but how many" Americans know their “flag etiquette? As Flag Day approaches, everyone should be familiar with the code which has been adopted for proper usage of the flag on all partriotic occasions. If you don’t know what the code is, you can learn about, it by reading the illustrated feature article “Flag Day, 1928,” by Elmo Scott Watson in this issue of The Journal. —‘ oEntertain bride-elect Miss Gertrude Hoch and Miss Helen Jeffries entertained with a pre-nuptial party at the home of Miss Jeffries last Thursday evening, honoring Miss Neva Foster, whose marriage to Joe Ruch of Milford, will be an event of June 12.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. Are We Better Trained Than Our Fathers? During the month of June, the various schools of the country, including colleges, universities seminaries and academies will send out into the world unnumerable graduates; Many of them have been mentally well equipped for the duties of life, but it remains to be seen whether or not their characters have been developed as carefully as their minds have been trained. It. is pleasing to note that educators are paying some attention to the physical and moral, as well as the mental development of the pupils and. students who come under their tutelage. If teachers and pupils have done their duty, they should be far better prepared than were those who have wrought so nobly in the past. Those who took such an active part in the past built wiser than they knew and have pxade it possible for the American youth to reach the ggtfl of hjjs ambition. Wealth, which has occupied the exclusive attention of so many for the past century, has also afforded means for the gratification of the most ambitious. At the same time it is an important thing that older heads should exercise their influence over the youthful and inexperienced and to try to gu de them in conservative channels- ami to keep before them the examples ot the 1 founders of this great American republic. The . individual responsibility as cit zens of this great republic should be deeply impressed upon them as into their hands must pass the destinies of the nation. It is not enough that men are willing to fight for their country against foreign foe. It is their duty to stand continually like a stone wall against the enemies at home, for su«h enemies can covertly destroy Jthe very temple of liberty. \ Inspection of the pages of the newspapers these days and the number of stories which appear on some phase of aviat on should convince the reader that all America is taking to the air as it did to automobiles. The sooner Syracuse gets an airfield the sooner this town will take its place on the recognized air routes of the nation. ’ Self - consciousness, broodingover personal imperfections, is a pronounced cause of unhappiness. All of us are imperfect, but, those who don’t care a cuss what people think about them enjoy a sense of freedom that develops self-respect and makes life worth living. Now that the screens are hung and the porch furniture is out. the family can embark upon a summer of uninterrupted motoring with a clear conscience. Every’ time the average man makes a good guess he has a lot to say about his superior judg ? ment. Especially is this true soon, after elections. We are taught that we should earn our living by the sweat of our brow, but we notice that those who get the best living do not sweat. Until the mercury gets a little more enthusiastic you might as well let the mothe stay in the old bathing suit. a relief to think of the Garden of Eden„ without taxes, reformers,- working hours or relaDid you ever stop to think that generally you did the wrong thing and almost always wish you had done some other way.
