WATER PLANT OF CITY EXAMINED E. M. Moore and H. E. Asire ( en-f glneers if South ’Bend, investigated the town pumps and water plant I Tuesday .and will submit their,«rec-i emendations for changes ,tb the town | board 'within the near future. The test run Tuesday show.s that ' the Deming triplex pump will pump 150 gallons of water per minute Tried with the small centrifugal pump of the engineers, both could pump 300 gallons per minute, against a 13 ft. suction. The men discovered that the Deming was pumping air, and stated that the air might be coming from two sources, the pump and -the suction line. They also discovered that the, pump is still pumping sand. • The problem, as they see it, is to junk one of the old pumps, and for Syracuse to put in pumps to utilize the water power which Syracuse has at hand. \ ■ I DELEGATES TO GO j TO CHURCH MEET Harold Schultz of Syracuse, Ruth Kinney and Matvei Heckman of Nappanee, and Mildred Moore of Cromwell are delegates of the local Lutheran parish who will attend the Lutheran Youth Conference which is being held April 4-6 on the campus of Wittenberg College of Springfield, Ohio.

The conference, arranged by the district synods of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and West Virginia ,is limited to 500 official delegates and 100 visiting delegates. o -— THIEVES DROP CHICKENS The evidence must have made enough noise to alarm the thieves who were making off with it, because the 57 Barred Rock chickens belonging to Charles Juday, near Benton, w’ere dropped like hot cakes, and found near the farm last Friday morning. Thieves had made off with the fowls in two crates the night before. They were discovered intact the next morning, as though they had been dropped in a hurried get-aw’ay. Two chickens had been smothered, but no other fatalities were reported, when Sheriff Banks was called on to look for clues. o . CARD of thanks We wish to thank all of our*neighbors and friends for the kindness shown to us at the time of the death of James Wright.| A Members of his Family. o— Watch the programs of the Crystal, JJfonier. . _ . - — a<^v -

PITCH TOURNAMENT HELD BY K. OF P.’S The hotly contested pitch tournament, which followed the regular meeting of the K. of P. lodge last Thursday evening, was won by Roy Sargent and Ross Franklin. All of the lodge members'who attended Thursday’s meeting started in the preliminary pitch contest, the rules and regulations of which had been prepared and read off by Milo Timberlake and “Spud" Kehr before the starting gun was fired to the contestants toe-ing the mark. The thoroughly shuffled cards were dealt and— they were off. Several tables of pitch were played before the final round, when Riss Franklin and Roy .Sarjent held high scores for the evening’s play. “The Li’l Wife In Africa’ (Editor’s Note: Because many people' have suggested we write some of our African experiences; and because so much is written of Aig game, and so little of housekeeping near the Equator, the editor’s wife is writing, from the diary she kept, about ‘’The Li’l Wife in Africa.”) We reached the next post about 3:30 in the afternoon: By that time Frenchy was tired of holding the flivver in the newly cut road; and we were all weary of bumping along 'without, any back rests br springs in the uphoslterihg of pur “town car.” In the post lived a Belgian engineer and his wife. He was in charge of the construction of a railroad bridge at this , point. They urged us t.o stop for the night, so we climbed down from our truck, not feeling so young and spry as when we had first climbed up there. The nigger mechanic,. flivver cranker and water carrier,, became the 'houseboy who prrt up our beds in the two completed rooms of the store room under •construction, and the thoughtful Belgian wife furnished us baths followed -by slices of pineapple ,to quench our thirst after that long ride. They served other fruit that evening, to us who had begun to think food was one of the things you avoided eating in Africa. The salad was

Miss Esther Wyatt won the second prize of $2, and Ralph Leacock, third, of SI. Judges were: Mrs. Edna Hess, Miss Ruth Tiedt, and Mrs. Joseph Rapp. Simon Bell brought in a proposition for a park along the mill race between Harrison, Lake and John streets, and a piece of land , south of the race. It reached the Journal office too late for this week's publication, but his project will be explained in detail next week. made of«a heart of_ a cabbage palm, the kind you are forbidden to cut in Florida. It was chopped up like cabbage is treated for salad, and was mixed with canned salmon. The result tasted as much like nuts as anything. . ' ». . The fruit we had next morning at breakfast were pineapples so sweet you’d never know they were pineapples, and pawpaws with grape : fruit juice squeeved on them to give them flavor. . . The Belgian couple had made a home of bamboo with a grass roof. The madame had two African gray parrots with their wings clipped, each chained by a foot ,to the veranda posts. They talked and whisteled and sang, and had a great time. - While we were sitting beneath the trees before the house, waiting for evening "chop” to be called, the night of our arrival, our Belgian host told us about the loss of the baby monkey Jocko, that he’d been training. Later, when the were eating at the dining room table on the veranda of the house, there came a squeaking and chattering ,and what should hop up the veranda steps but Jocko himself. The two Belgians, excitedly welcomed him, but Jocko insisted an climbing into Mr. Belgian’s lap by way ®f his a’nkle and trouser’s leg, and. then went on up to his shoulder and sat there, talking ceaselessly, as though trying to tell his experiences while lost the last three days. After breakfast, the following

morning, we started on again. Until reaching this post, our nigger trail-flivver road had cut through old sun dried grass on tops of hills, and forests in the valleys Where trees had been cut only wide enough for one car to get through. It had been up hill and down hill, the road being only, two tracks where occasional car wheels had worn it, Grass grew up in the center. From this post where the railroad bridge was being constructed, almost into drove on the bed of the new railroad .vyhich was built up ready for ties to be laid. It was hard packed, yellow clay, with drops on either side of what would be wide enough for a narrow guage railroad track. So driving a flivVer required about as much skill as driving one on railroad rails and

trying to keep'from falling off on either side into space. . The route had been cut through what people h.ave presumption enough to Class altogether under the word “jungle.” Why each tree whs a great big individual, in spite of New York's attempt to be startling with skyscrapers. Each had shiny green leaves, and vine draperies. This impassable undergrowth had been cut away to let our road bed through, but . the trees reached their branches across the clearing, far enough up in the air to make a tunnel roof which the topmost trunk on our. truck could just clear. I kept a sharp lookout the whole way for elephants and lions- and leopards, and saw two guinea hens. • Near the Luebo post, we saw lots of natives forking on our trail again.

which was for automobiles ,u ; e having left the new railroad bed. These niggers were carrying huge chunks broken from ant hills, and putting these in the car tracks for wheels to run over and crush, to harden the road in its sand places. •The native men wore skirts of native cloth vyhich looked like straw matting. These were belted about their waists, with the same leather straps which fastened the long .twoedged hammered iron knives onto them. Each man had a tiny strawwoven four cornered hat, which was held to his kinklj’ head over his right ear, by a long feather quill. These hats were about as adequate as Happy Hooligan’s. ' The women wore the usual waist cloth only, anklets and necklaces of bright beads.
