SYRACUSE, INDIANA. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1928

LIBRARY NOTES As good book week is from the 12th. to the 17th of November new books have been purchased for display during that week to be circulated for the first on Saturday, the 17th. A partial list with annotations appears below: Biggers—-“Behind that Curtain.” —Behind that curtain lies —what? In this story the murder in San Francisco of Sir Fredric Bruce, former head of Scotland Yard, is the center of the plot. Before the motives back of that mysterious deed are laid bare, there developes a romance of three continents. “There are more women in it than in the Follies,” complains Captain Flannery of San Francisco police; and one of them evoked an extraordinary gallantry and sacrifice. Deeping — “Old Pybus.” —Of course after having read “Sorrell and Son,” “Doomsday” and “Kitty” few’ people will be able to resist this novel of Deeping’s that deals with two generations both misunderstpod by the generation that stands between, who find a rare sympathy and a mutual understanding in each other’s outlook.

Kyne—“Tide of Empire.”— A lone young Irish adventurer, Dermand D’Arcy by name, forged across the lofty mountains that lie between Nevada and California. As he came down from the Indian-infested trails, yellow sand was being washed out of the beds of California streams. The gold rush was on. Surely Mr. Kyne’s followers will appreciate this book. Lincoln — “Silas Bradford’s Boy.”—The freshness of Mr. Lincoln’s work is perennial. The Salt marsh breezes and the bright sun of the Cape Cod country give to his pages a tang and happy vitality not matched elsewhere. “One of the pleasantest periods of the year is the time when the newest Lincoln novel is published”, a reviewer has said and Silas Bradford’s boy is additional proof of this.. Marrow —“With Malice Toward None.”.-~A novel of the last two year§ o* ine Civil War’preceding the fall of Richmond—a period vibrant with the grim drama of desperate warfare and the bitter political struggle over reconstruction plans between Lincoln and the man he loved — Senator Charles Summer. Norris —“Beauty and the Beast.”—Beautiful, young and wealthy, Janey Davenport already had 3 eligible suitors in love with her; but in Italy she went title hunting. She found an Italian Prince that did something to make him lose his glamour then she was carried off to a mountain fortress by an ul-tra-modern bandit king. And this smart girl from the gay world had never imagined the thrill of being subdued by one of nature’s own children, by “this young and tall and strangly wise man, caught like herself in the meshes of he greatest net human hearts ever knew.” Payne—“ Painter’s of Dreams,”, —Are women sincere with men in courtship days? Or do they paint dreams about what marriage is going to be? This is the story of Madline, who painted dreams but wanted position. Lilia who painted dreams but wanted a willing slave. Harriet, who painted dreams but wanted an endless “good time.” And of Nora Tremaine, who meant to make her dreams come true. In “Painter’s of Dreams” Elizabeth Payne has written another fascinating love story—with a thought behind it if you look deeper. Rinehart—“Two Flights Up.” —A love story—with just enough mystery. Untermeyer— “Moses.”—Louis Untermeyer’s first novel will surprise some and shock others. Basing his work on long research, he raises many bold questions and attempts to answer them. Was Moses only partly Hebraic.? Was monotheism his own conception? Did he actually codify the Decalogue? Did he consciously violate his own commandments? Which of the warring selves was the man him= self? Wharton —“The Children.” — Beneath the tender gayety of this story, Mrs Wharton has posed a question which we may not escape. What of the children in a world of nonchalant divorce? This novel is the keenest instrument with which “our foremost woman novelist” probes the effects of modern divorce. Wren —“Beau Ideal.” — A sequel to “Beau Geste” and to “Beau Sabreur.” To Viren’s large following that is enough. Wren—“ The Red Scar.”—“At lover’s perjuries they say Jove laughs”. But Dr. Hailey could

COLUMBUS The most heroic story of history—the story of the voyage of Christopher Columbus and the discovery of America—is to be celebrated on October 12. On that day in 1492 when Columbus discovered a new continent, who could have guessed what an important part of the globe- that continent would become, containing, as is does, several of the greatest nations in the world. The story of Columbus in itsself is inspiring and magnificent —the story of a brave pioneer who feared no disaster, spared no effort, to prove to his own satisfaction and to the satisfaction of Europe that the world was indeed round. Little honor was paid to Columbus during his life-time; he was jewed and thought crazy; his path was beset with difficulties and dismay, his accomplishments disbelieved, his theories discounted. Yet today his name is held in reverence the world over. Since the days of Columbus the Eastern and Western worlds are close neighbors; Lindbergh, by spanning the Atlantic in an airplane, showed us how close they really are. In the days of Columbus the way from Europe to America was beset with perils, both real and imaginary, and sailors on comparatively short trips always feared, tremblingly, that they would come to the “edge of the world” and fall off. Now we do not fear the “edge of the world”; science and improved methods of transportation have destroyed the bugaboos of the past; now a man may talk in one continent, and by radio, be heard across the seas; distance has been demolished—travel has become a pleasure instead of a hazardous undertaking. Yet we still even glimpse the mystery of life, the Divine Purpose of it all —and probably never shall. We know more and more about ourselves — but have no more knowledge than in the past of the workings of Providence. But just as Columbus praised God for his accomplishment. so must we too praise God for the things that have come to pass since the days of Cblumbus, o— LAKE PROPERTY SOLD The following is taken from Saturday’s Elkhart Truth: “Martin E. Crow, president of the Winey Mill & Lumber Co., confirmed reports that negotiations were in progress for the sale of his Lake Wawasee cottage to A. G, Jones, cosmetic manufacturer in Chicago. The price agreed upon is $31,000 for the realty and the furniture and furnishings in the cottage.* If the deal is consummated, Mp. Crow is to surrender possession Noy. 10, “The cottage was built in 1922 after Mr. Crow had bought, and platted into nine lots, five acres of the grounds of the old Jones hotel on the north side of the lake. He still owns four of the lots. Only one of the other five is unimproved. “Confirmation was also made of the sale by Mrs. Alice Gronert, widow of W. J. Gronert, former Elkhart resident of hep cottage on the south side of Lake Wawasee to J- Everett Jones of Anderson, for $15,000. Mrs. Gronert went from Elkhart to Los Angeles last November, and has bought a bungalow in that city. The lake coinage was built by Mr. Gronert 26 years ago, and was one of the first investments of the kind by an Elkhart resident at the lake,” - —o - D. E. OVERMAN Expert watch and clockmaker of over 35 years experience is now at Thornburg’s Drug Store. Watches, clocks, jewelry and spectacles carefully repaired All work guaranteed. 24-ts not laugh at the perjury of Raoul Featherstone who had promised to marry three women. When Raoul was stabbed and his body stolen mysteriously away, there were many to suspect, the jealous husband, the jealous lover, the woman scorned. And in the ashes of Alaister Dairmid's motor—Alaistep who was a rival of Raoql’s for the hand of beautiful Echo Wildermere —they found a charred skeleton, But immediately Dr, Hailey discovered another clue that had been in plain sight from the first but no one—not even th© great Doctor himself—had suspected. One youthful patron told the librarian that he sat up most all night to finish a library book, declaring that it was nearly nine o’clock before he went to bed.

INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTERS i Although the general election is more than three weeks away, questions of the eligibility for voting have been raised frequently and indicate an interest that probably will result in a record vote. The most confusing point of the election pertain.to the status of the absent voter law and the registration law, about which a number of people are making inquiries. Both the absent voter law and the registration law were repealed at the session of the Indiana legislature in 1927. There will be no registration of voter for the general election and no ballots will be cast by the absent voter law method which was operative in Indiana for some years. In order to cast a vote in the general election on, Tuesday, Nevember 6, it will be necessary to go to the polls personally and vote there in the voting booth. The only requirements for voting in the general election in November are that the voter must have been a resident of the state six months, a resident of the township for sixty days, and a resident of the precinct thirty days. Any person changing residence from one township to another after September 6 will forfeit the opportunity to vote. Any person changing residence from one precinct to another after October 6 will lose voting privileges. Any person moving to or from Indiana or another state now or at any time during the six months preceding the general election, may not vote. The question has been raised that those who did not vote in the primary election may not vote in the general election. That is untrue since there is no connection between the voting privileges of one and another. o “LES MISERABLES” “Cosette, run down to the spring and fetch a pail of water!” ordered Madam Thernardier. That was in 1830, the period of Victor Hugo’s novel, “Les Miserables,” which comes as a super picture to the Community Theatre, Monday and Tuesday, October 15 and 16. Almost a century has passed away since cruel Madam Thernadier compelled the frail child to do a man’s work in Hugo’s immortal story. The old town of Montfermiel is about the same as it was then. Most of the houses are still without plumbing. If they want water they have to go out and get it. The aspect of the town had changed so little in the past century that the film company known as Ceneromans of Paris was able to use the exact location indicated by Victor Hugo in his novel. A striking example of the unchanging customs in this part of France was furnished during the making of the picture when Gabriel Gabrio, playing the role of Jean Valjean, the convict, was observed by some peasants as he strolled away from the set, wearing his make-up. It is not surprising that these unprofessional eyes failed to detect the makeup, for Gabroi is conceded to be quite an artist in this line. It would, however, be remarkable if one were to meet, anywhere in the United States, a man wearing the same clothes that might have been seen a hundred years ago, without suspecting something queer. On the day following Gabrio’s peaceful stroll the French police were much agitated by the receipt of a telegram reading thus: “Individual of suspicious appearance looking like escaped convict been seen on the beach in the neighborhood of Nice. Send expert detective at once.” Two dectectives were immediately despatched to the scene, but on their arrival there found that the mysterious personage had gone without leaving a trace. The residents on the riverside were asked if they could supply any information as to the wanted individual, but they were unable to help. He appeared to have vanished like smoke! a4ood show ’ “The Gay Retreat” will be shown at the Community Theater for the last time tonight. You will laugh as you have never laughed before. Remember this show is given for the benefit of the Florida tornado sufferers and your presence will help to swell the receipts. o Milton Sills in “The Hawk’s Nest.” at Crystal, Ligonier, next week.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. \ Geftng To A Better Place The piteous plight of an Indiana minister, taking leave of his congregation, is reported. “Brothers and sisters, I want to say goodbye. “I don’t think God loves this church because none of you ever die. * "I don’t think you love each other, because I never marry any of you. “I don't think you love me, because you have not paid my salary. “Your donations are moldy fruit and wormy apples—and by their fruit ye shall know them. “Brethren, I am going to a better place. i , “I am going to be chaplain of a penitentiary; when I go you cannot come; but I go to prepare a place for you, and may the Good Lord have mercy on you. Good-bye. Your one-Time pastor.” Lesson In Arithmetic A Scotch teacher asked one of her bright pupils. “If your father saved 50 cents the first week, 75 cents the second week, $1 the third and $1.25 the fourth, what would he have? The pupil replied: “A new car, a radio set, a washing machine and a fur coat for Mother. Times Have Changed The kind of mother who used to say her twelve-year-old daughter was six, so she could travel on half fare, now says she’s sixteen so she can drive the car. An Indiana minister told his congregation the other day that those who were in debt need not place anything in the collection plate. It is said the collection was twice as large as usual. If the price of beef keeps on going up it won’t be long until the average householder will have to put out a bond issue before he can purchase a porterhouse steak. Although people are said to take 19,000 steps daily, many are unable to step into the place of business where they owe money and settle those little accounts. An Editor a just Simply can’t please ‘em all. Out in Kansas a widow is suing the local editor for saying that her husband had gone to a happier home. This country has brain power enough to secure good government, but it needs more leg power to enable people to walk to the polls and vote. A man with a rhinocerous skin was recently exhibited at an upstate carnival. What an ideal candidate he would make. People used to get married when they knew each other thoroughly. Nowadays that’s when they get divorced. No man or woman, not intensely interested in the daily task, ever get far or accomplish anything important. Loyalty is a rare virtue. A man may abuse his wife, his stomach or his dog and they will continue to be loyal. The man who takes advantage of a friend in the strength of his friendship deserves no second chance. Some men get their heads on coins. We would be satisfied if we could get our hands on them. Today the. average man is more interested in a full gas tank than in a full dinner pail. It’s a wise audience that knows whether it’s listening to a speech or a propaganda. ' Work is a grand cure of all the maladies and miseries that ever beset mankind. To be a good aviator you have to begin at the bottom and work up. It must be the tourists that make the wild flowers wild. This Weeks Turtle Puller Question: What poet was never slow? Answer: Swift.
