INDIANA. THIW.4Y, JUNE 20. 1929

LIBRARY NOTES Mr. Floyd Strieby donated a two volume history of Kosciusko county to the library. Any gift at any time is appreciated, but material on Syracuse, Kosciusko county, Wawasee lake, or Indiana, is particularly so. Miss Alice Mann, Syracuse’s new librarian, left Sunday for a seven week course in library school at Indianapolis. Miss Mann will take charge of our library, August 3rd. The reading club members now have the following number of books to their credit: Baja Rowdabaugh, 18; Ruth Rowdabaugh, 19; Margaret Smith, 28; Virginia Riddle, 6; Betty, White, 7; Joan Riddle, 6; Elsie Nicodemus, 10; Agnes Fleming, 8; I Edna Fleming, 9; Gertrude Fleming, 11; Ruth Nicodemus, 11; Carma Parkhurst, 35: Kathryn Nicodemus, 30; Marjoriq Slabaugh, 2; Martha Ellen Fisher, 3; Kathryn Armstrong. 13; Jimmy Butt. 4; Helen Gordy, 11; Rowena Insley, 2; Meredith Mench, 2; Kathryn Kern, 4; Frances Houston, 17. Nature Henry W. Longfellow As fond as a mother, when the day is o’er, Leads by her hand a little child to bed, Half willing, half reluctant to be led, And leaves his broken playthings on the floor, Still gazing at them through the ' open door, Nor wholly reassured and com- 1 sorted By promises of others in their stead. Which, though more splendid, • may not please him more; So nature deals with us and takes away Our playthings one by one and by the hand | Lead us to rest so gently that we go Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay Being too full of sleep .tp understand T' ' ‘ How far the unknown transcends through what we know. o State Seiners Very Successful In spite of the cool weather the fore part of June which retarded the spawning of fish the men stationed on Wawasee and Syracuse Lakes to remove Gar and Dog fish report that they have been . unusually successful in their efforts. To date almost 1500 of the two species have been taken from these waters. Last week 265 of these scavengers were taken out while the two weeks previous netted 560. The removal is accomplished by gill nets and some spearing is done at night. The cost of this work is carried by the Conservation Department of the State other than the living quarters of the men which must be taken care of by local interests. In this community this is being taken care of by subscription by people interested in the preservation of good fishing in these two lakes and with the results already obtained no doubt can be entertained as to whether the money is being well spent. Some of our local sportsmen have been accompaning the spearing expeditions but from reports are not very skillful in the art of handling a spear. o MRS. LOUIS SOLT DIES Mrs. Louis Solt of 525 Oakland Ave., Elkhart, died in the Elkhart General hospital at 6 p.m., Monday, at the age of 77. She is survived by her husband, Louis Solt and one son, Louis Solt, Jr., of Wawasee Lake. Funeral services were held Wednesday at 1:30 o’clock, at the home of her neice, Mrs. Ida Baugherty. Burial at Riverview cemetery. Card of Thanks We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for their kind expressions of sympathy and floral offerings, during the illness and death of our mother, Mrs. Louise SolK Mr. and Mrs. Louise Solt, Jr. If every family in this vicinity ; would have the Journal come ' into their home each week, it • would help us to enlarge the usefulness of the paper.

No Changes In Fish Laws Sunday, June 16 opened the season for lawfully taking game fish from Indiana public waters. In view it is unlawful to take game species Letwpn April 30 and June 16, in order fish pro pogate without molestation, consei vation department officials charged with fish and game lav/ enforcement, caution all fishermen to observe the laws relative to number of catch, length of fish Taken, etc. It is explained by Geo. N. Mannfeld, superintendent of fish and game division that ignorance of fishing laws is no . excuse for violations, and that wardens operating in all parts of the state enforce observance and to further see that fishermen have proper licenses will not be moved by any such pleas. Persons fishing in counties other than where they reside must have a license; no license is required if fishing is confined to the county of your residence. No child under 18 years old is required to take out a license to fish anywhere in this state. 1 his applies to both resident and nonresident. The wife must have a license regardless whether the husband has one or not, if she fishes in Hoosier public waters. Six bass is the number that can be lawfully taken in one day and this count includes large and small-mouth or silver bass or a combination of this species. The length limit is 11 inches on the large or small-mouth, and ten inches on the silver bass. The bag limit on crappie, blue-gill, rock bass and red eared sunfish is 25 per day, but npt more than that, number combined may be legally taken by one person in a day of the four species. Length limit' on crappie is 6 inches; on rockbass (goggle-eye), bluegill, and red eared sunfish is 5 inches Yellow (ring perch) may be taken in any number providing they are more than seven inches or more in length. When two persons fish from the same boat, it is suggested to use separate stringers or live boxes, to avoid confusion in individual ownership when asked by wardens to see the catch, FALL RESULTS IN IN BROKEN LEG Mr. O. E Traster, who is well known here, is in the Mercy Hospital at Gary, with both bones broken in his leg between the knee and the ankle.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. 15-Year-Old Idle A New York employer recent’y inserted an advertisement for a man, 40 to 45 years of age, as • a reception man at $35 a week. He expected 50 to 75 answers, but was overwhelmed with 365. He took time to read them all. Most of them were from educated men well written, and froqi men who have been working on one, job for years and are now let out through mergers and con- 6 solidations. Mfcny of them were college men, many others were derks, accountants and men com- ' t “ detent to hold important positions—but all were desperately n need of work. If this average holds good throughout the nation, we have an arny of 1,000,900 die men of this class alone. The iverage for idle mechanics and abor above 40 is estimated to be double the figure for professional men —and this does not include a million of women. This may be the answer to the question of why consuming markets lave slumped. Another Name for It “I see in the paper that a widiwer with nine children out in Nebraska has married a widow vith seven children.” “That was no marriage. That vas a merger.” The man who starts out with .-onfidnee in everybody will soon lave none in anybody. The woman who used to stay it home because she had nothing to wear, now goes out and wears it. The golden rule should work both ways, but most men who ire willing to do as they would be done by be done by first. Judging by the newspaper pictures ,the society ladies buy most of their evening costumes it the jewely store. Social postion is relative. It depends on living in a town where people are less important than yourself. Siu ’s Wearing Sport Knickers What has become of the woman who used to worry about the “hang” of her skirt when she dressed up? Perhaps one reason why so few people recognize Opportunity when she knocks, is that she s wearing overalls. It is customary to say “I don’t 'ike to blow my own horn” just before blowing it. Some merchants will spend about sl2 dollars a year for advertising, and then wonder why other their trade. An easier wprd to take the place of “chauffeur” is being sought, but none of the names ordinarily used by pedestrians would do in polite society. If you expect the home town to support you, you should help support it by buying your supplies here in Syracuse. No doubt the biggest ones are getting away now. Ah. well; those who now fear 4 for the young, once hid in the barn to smoke and to read Deadwood Dick. And the married man who preaches economy usually wants his wife to do all the practicing. There wasn’t any such thing as “snap judgment” back in the days wehn a man would get out his knife and whittle awhile before venturing an opinion on any subject. “Swat the fly” will soon be • the universal household slogan. > The advent of the “talkies’’ • ushers out the kingdom of the* . “beautiful but dumb” I . . , This Week’s Pnzzte Puller Question: When a man be- - comes the light of a woman’s life - what usually happens? Answer: She seldom .allows him to go out.
