The two teams have been practising hard and faithfully f6r the past three weeks and each team seems determined to win its first game in our fine new gymnasium. The reports from Sidney are that they have a fast aggregation this year, so Syracuse will have some real opposition Friday night. The horseshoe tournament ended with Harold Swenson and Harold Shock opposing Carleton Richhart and Charles Beck in the finals of the doubles division. The score was 21 to 4 in favor of Swenson and Shock. At the close of the contest Mr. Beck and Mr. Kehr challenged the winners and, running true to form, gained an easy victory with a score of 21 to 7. v The Commercial Department is being regularly supplied with standardized monthly tests covering every phase of the work taken up by students in 20th century bookkeeping.

He will remain until the first of the year, and at that time return to Sweden where he will reside with hjs family for the next four It is needless to say that many places are bidding for his presence, and also that we are very fortunate in securing him. Before his departure last spring in correspondence with the pastor of the local Methodist church he staged that he would be glad to speak in Syracuse upon his return to this country. Bishop Wade has many friends in the North Indiana Conference - and the Goshen District.

“IT’S YOUR MOVE” Anyone who has passed down Huntington street recently, has undoubtedly been impressed by the brilliant display of red and white checkers emblazoned on the side of the Syracuse Feed Mill. To the uniniated let it be known that this unique store front is not meant to be a battlingground for followers of the grand and glorious game of checkers, but is the official trademark of the Purina Mills of St. Lou:s and its checkerboard products. Disher Bros, are having their store checkerboarded, is only taking this means of the public know that they are handling the celebrated Purina line and that they are ready to do business with any and all feeders in this district. “We have the goods and we can give the service,” says Disher Bros., “and now it’s your move.” If feeders want to lower their production cost and give poultry and livestock the best and most perfectly balanced ration on the market today, they know they can always get it by. coming to the checkerboard store. And right. Feeders in this community are fortunate in having a Purina “service station” located so near. The Purina Mills have built up an enviable reputation for themselves by their four-square business methods and by the merits of their Chows. We consider it a real asset to have a representative of that concern in this town, and we are sure that every shrewd feeder who is interested in producing more eggs, more milk, and more beef at less cost will pay a visit to the checkerboard store in the near future.

MONEY FOUND IN CAN Clyde Heaton, who resides in Leesburg, found S9O in money, bills and silver, in an old tip can buried in the basement. Heaton had occasion to dig in the basement of his home and turned up the money can. * The bills were moldy and ready to fall to pieces but were accepted at the bank. The residence Was formerly owned by the late Ira Enyeart, killed two years ago by a Wmpna interurban car. Enyeart, somewhat of a reeluse, while living alone in a farm house east of Leesburg, occupied his spare winter time with painting futuristic designs in vivid colors over the ceilings and walls of his home. The work was artistically odd but disclosed rare skill. o TO JOIN OPERA TROUPE On Friday, Viplett Strieby, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Emory Strieby and friend, Mrs. Chas Zeddis of Ft. Wayne, left for Dayton, Ohio, to meet Mr. )Valden, a director, who, with his company, will take her to New York, where she can get a deeper insight into Several offers which she has received? Again we are proud of a Syracuse citizen. We admire her courage, are thankful that we have pne of such talent, and most surely wish her success.

Arbaugh used the Lutheran ceremony for him, and Miss Goldy Johnston of Decatur.

Connolly and sons, Byron and James, of this city and Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Byers of Peabody, Kansas.

INTELLIGENT SHOPPING An invoice of the- clothes closet at home should be taken before a person starts out to do intelligent, thrifty shopping for the new season, or so says Miss Gertrude Owen of the Home Economics Extension staff of Purdue University. Miss Owen says before ever buying a single new thing that it would be well if every women would sit down at home and on paper marked off under the headings “I have, I must have, and I would like to have”, study her own needs and wants. This would save much time and much money wasted because women become I'nspired to buy something when they feel the urge of the new season. Before ever knowing what her own particular wants or color scheme should be for that season, she starts buying hats, shoes, etc. of the prevailing color, regardless of whether that color harmonizes with the last year’s coat and dress that may be worn with them. A pleasing and becoming color harmony should be the keynote of a woman’s ensemble. For the person of limited means it becomes necessary then to plan and shop" carefully in order to find a hat of either a neutral color or with sufficient color to make it the kind that can be worn with several dresses and perhaps both a fall and winter coat. It can be done, however, and when once accomplished the satisfaction felt each time it is worn is sufficient to repay for the extra time spent. If money is no item when plannig one’s warbrobe a big hazard is removed but planning and careful selection is still necessary. Many women of unlimited means do not appeal 1 as well dressed as those of limited funds simply because they dp not stop with thoughts of the entire costume in mind. They buy numberless pretty hats, and dresses, which they see, but when it comes time to choose something to wear Out of their well filled wardrobe, they find they have nothing, for no two things fit together. 4 Before buying extensively a person should take some time to shop around to inform herself on what the leading colors, materials and designs are,. This season browns, black and blue seem to lead in color. For materials of wool, novelty tweeds, wool georgette, challis and jersey are very good, while for dress occasions, chiffon velvet, flat crepe and satins prevail. There is a tendency in design this year to supply extra fullness in the skirt through the use of circulars but even so, plaits arp still good. Many of the neck lines are collarless while others are lace trimmed or silk ofi different color is used to soften the neck line, There are becoming styles for all shapes and figures, and the person that is particular about her appearance will make a study of her own self and learn to design or choose clothes that are becoming in line and color to her own self.

ACTION FOR Bondholders, through their trustee, have filed action in the Kosciusko circuit court against Maxwelton Manor, Incorporated, asking for a $105,000 judgment and foreclosure of a trust deed. Maxwelton Manor and its grounds compose 80 aeres of resort property on Syracuse lake. An 18-hole golf course, club house, hotel, cottage sites, etc., were included in the original plan as promoted by Leonidas Boyd, of Syracuse lake, who several years ago secured a bond issue of $85,000 to finance the project. Much work was done on the golf links, but the venture to date has been unsuccessful, interest having been defaulted on the bonds for the past two years. Bondholders recently filed a suit in federal court at South Bend asking that, a receiver be named for Maxwelton Manortmd the court selected Thad M. Talcott. Jr., of South Bend, to act in that capacity. What the future of the development will be is more or less a matter of speculation. o PYTHIAN SISTERS The Pythian Sisters will meet on Friday evening, October 26. All officers are urged to be present and mask. A committee will sprve. o—“Lumbago” Dr. Warner’s treatments for lumbago give relief quickly. Call 176 for an appointment. Goshen, Ind.

PURDUE POULTRY SCHOOL i An exceptional opportunity will be given to poultrymen who desire to attend the tenth annual poultry short course at Purdue University, November 12 to 23, to get detailed information on the various problems that present themselves to all poultry raisers. Everyone who engages in poultry raising does so with the hope of getting something from his flock regardless of whether he is attempting to raise poultry and poultry products on a large scale or for his own consumption* Mistakes are costly and may ruin the whole -business. It is regretable that so many pay so heavily For mistakes which could easily be prevented if a little information were obtained. It is not the object of the short course to try to teach one everything about all phases of the poultry industry as that would be impossible, but the course is designed to acquaint the student with the everyday problems and the ways in which the most successful poultrymen are meeting them. The course is open to beginners and those already engaged in a poultry enterprise. The poultry department at Purdue is well equipped for instructional and experiments work. Ah addition has been made to the* New Poultry building during the past summer which provides a large judging pavilion and three laboratory rooms. In the poultry building there are class rooms, instructional and experimental laboratories, reading rooms and incubator cellar. The incubator cellar iFbQuipped with various types of incubators The farm consists of seventeen acres on which about 2000 mature birds are kept Over 1000 layers are trapnested. Many types of breeding, laying and colony brooder houses with com plete equipment are in use on the farm. An excellent opportunity is thus afforded to study the various types of houses and equipment, The expense of the course is small. A registration fee of $2.00 is charged. Rooms and board may be secured for SB.OO to SIO.OO per week, and books and materia! for the course will cost about $5.00 for the two weeks. Coming at a time when it is convenient for poultrymen and farmers to get away for a while everyone who desires more knowledge, of poultry farming can enroll in the short course.

GREAT STAR CAST COMING Kate Price is the mother of thousands of screen players who have played th© roles of her children ip 729 photoplays. Miss Price is certain of the number of pictures, for she has religiously kept a list of all the pictures she has played in. Her first picture was with Vitagraph in 1910 and her latest is in “The Cohens and Kellys in Paris,” the Universal Production which will be shown at the Community Theatre, Monday and Tuesday, October 29 and 30, with George Sidney, J. Farrel Macdonald, Vera Gordon and Gertrude Astor among the principals. In this picture, Miss Price plays the role of the mother of Charles Delaney, thus adding to her list of screen children. In fact, so famous has Miss Price become for her mother parts that producers in adopting a play for tho sereen label the mother role, “A Kate Price type.” If Miss Price isn’t available for the part the casting director does his best tp get a good imitation. But an imitation is never Kate Price and the director who actually secures her services considers himself fortunate. Universal waited a year to be able to collect the cast of “The Cohens and Kellys in Paris,” at the same time. All of the leading players had numerous other contracts when they were secured for this picture. The story is a sequel to “The Cohens and Kellys” one of the most successful pictures ever produced. o W. C. T, U. MEETING On Tuesday afternoon, October 30 there will be a special meeting of the W. C. T. U. at the home of Mrs. L. N. Kitson, beginning at two o’clock. A report of the state convention recently held in Kokomo will be given by the delegates. All members are urged to be present. o—“The Blue Danube” starring Beatrice Joy and Nels Asther. A splendid picture at Crystal, Ligonier. Sunday and Monday, October 28 and 29.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. Dream and Succeed Dreams are made of star dust, we are told, but a better recipe is suggestion and imagination. Those who can look at a brick and see a castle are builders of a bigger and better world. To be serviceable an imagination must be exercised. Do you want a suggestion? Look about you; a weed becomes an industry. If you want more encouragement turn to the classified advertisements and there you will find an ever changing department store of them,. The business manager advises you to read classified advertisements when you want a job, an automobiie or a candlestick, but »these things are all at the main entrance of the store. Visit the bargain basement and the upper floors where great treasures are stored; uncensored news of human activities, relative values in parallel columns, heart-throbs md character studies to educate and entertain. Best of all, however, is the stuff that keeps Ireams alive. There are only three kinds of Ireams; those that are forgotten, hose that never change and '■hose that come true. Mount vour wishes on thought and effort and they will ride to realisation. .J Make it Snappy There’s a certain young lad in i home you know who has been very desirous of a new baby sister. He is six years old, and has been taught to say prayers at light. So the idea came that praying for a new sister might help. The parents agreed that it might help, too, and little Willie added to his nightly prayer a petition for the baby. Results did not come as Willie thought they should. So one night, according to his father, he added this to the evening supplication: “If you have a baby almost finished, don’t wait to put in her tonsils or appendix, as they usually have to be cut out anyway.*’

We venture to believe that there are many mothers and more fathers who know nothing of their children’s school life. They know what grade John is in and that Mary will graduate from high school next spring. But of what studies either of the children took last year or will take this year, they are ignorant. We recommend to such parents they go to the school house some day and have a talk with Mr. Slabaugh or the teachers. Let them discuss with the school authorities such problems as choice of a vocation, relative values of the study of languages, etc. They will learn that the course of studies is not a fixed universal affair and that John ought to be taking Manual Training, instead of Latin. Talk with the principal and the teachers about your children. Os course it is understood that too much talk will do harm for all concerned. But, then, you know when to stop. If Syracuse grows during the coming decade it will be because of the spirit of the men of the town. There is enough energy and resource in Syracuse to get for the town anything within reason if we will unite on a program and work with a spirit of full Co-operation until it is realized. There’s some things hard for a man tb understand. One thing we can’t understand is. why a man’s wife is always looking in his direction when he spills ashes on the rug and he gets no chance to take his handkerchief out and dust them around so they won’t be noticed. Long hair, says a woman’s page note, will come back slowly, if at all. Bobbed young ladies who are trying to grow it already knew that. Among the books with unhappy endings are check books. Most advice seldom gets any farther in than the eardrum. This Weeks Puzzle Puller Question: Why is a wise man like a pin? Answer: His head keeps him from going too far.
