CASTNER—BUSHONG On Saturday, July 27, occurred the wedding of Guy, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bushong of Syracuse, Ind., and M’ss Beulah Castner of Milan, Ind. A reception was given Saturday evening at the home of Harvey Rice at Aurora. About fifty invited guests were present and partook of a delicious dinner. The young people were the recipients of many useful and beautiful presents. Guy needs no introduction to our people, being born in Syracuse, and made his home in this vicinity all his life. | Miss Castner is a very pleas- | ing young lady and we welcome, her in our midst. After attending school at Indiana University she taught school several years at Milan, Indiana. Mr. and Mrs. Bushong left early Tuesday morning on a visit to Niagara Falls and Canada. They will make their home this winter in North Webster! where Mr. Bushong has a do- I sition in the high school at that place. — w o OBITUARY Joan Fidelia (Mackey) Holloway was borp January 18, 1851 at Mills County, lowa and died i at Syracuse, Indiana, July 28,1929 aged 78 years, 6 months and 10 days. At the tender age of eight years.-her mother having died, her lather, John Mackey, brought the little daughter to the Mackey grandparents, then living on a farm south of Milford, Indiana, where she was reaped and taught till she reached young womanhood. 1 The deceased was married in 1869 to Eli Holloway of Syracuse, and soon thereafter removed to Syracuse where all her remaining : years were lived in founding and maintaining the home. To this union six children were born, four of whom survive, a son 1 having died in infancy, and Le Roy who died while in the patriotic service of his country 1 Sept. 13, 1915. The deceased was a devoted • member of the Luthern church. Two score years of motherly example and wholesome direction surely leaves a lasting impression on all who came within the sphere of such an influence. In sickness as well as in health she was cheerful and appreciative of every kind deed done for her, indeed her gratitude was the expression of a simple, affectionate soul. She was devoted to the memory of her people, the Mackeys, and annually she would be found at the graveside of her people at the Concord cemetery. As a neighbor and friend, she gave of herself and her ability in assisting the nearby neighbors in the various circumstances of life, leaving among them a memory of her sincerity and simplicity in all her neighborly relations. A memory well worth preserving. Mourning the departure of grandmother Holloway are the three daughters, one son and fifteen grandchildren and many, friends. — Card Os Thanks We wish to thank our kind friends and neighbors for their expression of sympathy and assistance during the illness and death of our mother. Children and grandchildren. o —— CONENTION AT wawasee HOTEL There will be a Convention of Sales Managers of the Waid Stilson Co., at the Wawasee Hotel and Country Club from Aug. 3 until Aug. 6th.

REMOVAL OF UNDESIR CBLE FISH VERY SUCCESSFUL The two game wardens who are operating on Lake Wawasee i end Syracuse Lake report that their work on these waters has been very successful. Up to thr i oresent time they have removed j more than 2300 undesirable fish ranging in weight up to the largest one which happened to be a < arp weighing nineteen pounds and seven ounces. They also stated that they removed more fish of the undersirable varities from these * ‘ters to date than four men all I last season from all waters ' worked. This fact alone proves ’that it was high time that something be done to these waters if the sport of fishing is to continue.. ihe past few weeks they have been working in what is known as Johnson’s Bay and are expecting to move to Syracuse within the few days where they will work for several weekg. * They request that people operating motor boats on this lake be an the lookout for their t hey have from 1,800 to 4,000 ft. as gill netting out at various times all of which will be marked with red buoys and they would appreciate motor boat operators try to circle around the buoys rather than try to cross the nets because this would not only tear the nets but also liable to cause damage to the boat and might even cause a capsizing. _o— STIFFLER REUNION The fifth annual Stiffler reunion. was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Stiffler five miles south of Syracuse Sunday, July 28th, About fifty were present.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. - Working In The Dark Ralph O. Brewesfrer former governor of Maine is devoting every energy to solving some of the economic questions that President Hoover is interested in. Mr. Brewester asserts that“prosperous and thriving. America employs more than 1,000,000 less men than it did five years ago” when it was had 4,000,000 idle. He goes on io assert that according to tax returns of the last five years income over f 1,000,000 have increased 174 per cent in number and 214 per cent in amount. Meanwhile in the last three years •'eportablp incomes under SIO,OOO have declined 57,836. In other words the number of the larger incomes has nearly trebled while the number of smallar incomes has actually declined. The lower brackets are shrinking as America becomes ecconomically stratified. Mean-T" while there are a million more*, who have no income at all. The same tendency is shown in corporate income returns. More than one-half the business Corporations of the United States are operating at a loss. Labor-saving machinery satisfies our increased appetites with less labor. Consequently consumer incomes lessons and ultimately demand declines. It seems altogather likely that several million Americans are seeking in vain for work. The tragic phase of the situation is that no one knows. But the time js rapidly approachnig when some one will have to make it their business to know and provide a remedy. Scientists say that pretty soon man will be able to live to the age of one hundred years. This won’t be possible until they put cowcatchers on automobiles. The weather may be unsuitable, prices may be too high and our favorite baseball team may be in the cellar, but now that deep dish pies are becoming fashionable again why worry about anything. If you can’t afford a vacation you can cheer yourself considerably with the thought that if you raise the screens at home you will find that the flies bite just as hard as they do in the country. The meanest man is the farmer who plants nothing close to the road except stuff tourists can’t eat. We always thought it funny to call a chicken “dressed” when it was stripped. Looking about the streets we still think the same way. ‘ Jr The time has now arrived when the small boy begins to count the days until county fair week. Our prediction of a mild winter is based on the fact that the ladies are wearing nice warm veL-. vet instead of chiffon this sum- v mer. Yes, “We” Girls Will Do It And They Do When better men are got—- * We girls will get ’em. When bigger stakes are played— ' We girls will bet ’em. When larger gains are reaped—■ We girls ’will take ’em. When bigger bums are made— We girls will make ’em. This Week’s Puzzle Puller Why is a baker a most improvident person? Because he continually sells that which he needs himself. uable scholarships that are offered to Purdue University. The enrollment fee of SIO.OO for the weeks’ stay is lower than, last year and it is expected that more boys will take advantage of the opportunity. County agents and vocational teachers are eligible to stay in the camp by assisting with the camp management. Enrollment should be sent to the Secretary of the State Fair by August 14 on special club blanks. Blanks may be secured from county agents; from the Secretary of the Indiana State Fair,Room 212, State House, Indianapolis, or from the Club Division, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind.
