It is a comfort in this rough weather of finance, industry and public affairs generally to know that what we feel is not alone bur own foolishness, but the education and troubles of the whole world, readjusting itself after, the tempest of the great war. Every country has its troubles, some so violent as to make our own seem trifling. In every direction are repudiated bond issues, international quarreling, unemployment. Even little Switzerland, marvelously secure as regards value of her bonds and currency, is troubled i ecause Englishmen that climb mountains and Americans that adm're them no longer crowd her hotels.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY. JANUARY 14, 1932.

Russell E- Hinderer with his wife I and children. > I _ Mrs. Fred Hinderar was bpm in I Elkhart county, about 3 miles north of Syracuse. Mr. Hinderer was born in Kosciusko county, about 3 miles east of town. After their marriage they lived ■ for 10 years on their farm and then ' decided to move to Syracuse, w here j they have been living ever since, i They purchased the hotel and livery j and owned and managed the hotel ' for six years and the livery for j seven years. The Hinderer’s are pround of the ’fact that there are three persons I living who were present at their wedding dinner 50 years ago. These lite: Grandma Nicolai, Mrs. HinderJer’s mother and Mrs. Hinderer’% two brothers, Charles and Artie or near j Benton. , Mr. and Mrs. Hinderer have 14 i grand-children; one great-grand son, • one step grandson.

Mrs. L. A. Seider’s gold fish swinging around in their newly fiqilt, zinc linjed aquarium were developing the habit of dying off one by one, despite the celluloid dolls who sat on the edge with fish pbles, despite the tadpoles and tiny turtles iceeping the fish company in the waI ter; despite the celluloid water lilies I floating on the pond; despite the I tall grasses which formed the back- ; ground Tor this enlarged gold fish 'bowl. ’ So on New Year’s afternoon Mrs. Seider, noticing her special, white, gold-fish showing signs of Being ithe next" to die, lighted a match, the better for to see the fish in the pond. She says she must have leaned too close to the grass wit!/ her; lighted match in hand. AnyxvJt, the first thing she knew the grds? *as aflame, j the flame shot up the curtain draperies of the window in back of the I fish pond and the celluloid water lilies ' and fishermen were burning}. ‘ Her mother, Mrs. Jacob Atz of Goshen happened to be in the kitchen and the women, nM waiting; to turn in a fire alarm, carried dish full of water into the living room and managed to put out the fire, drenching its surroundings. Then Mrs. Seider telephonejd to husband to come home from the store to see the results of (the fire, which he did. Everyone wasj promised to secrecy, to see if the Journal would find it out. Inasmuch as the fire alaLm was not turned in, and as the I Seiders when asked if there were any news around said they hadn’t heard of any, the Journal came out last week minus that fire story. ■ But the day after the paper w’as published the inquiring j reporter “just happened” to get in on the finish of the conference with the fire insurance representative,, who had come to make a SIOO settlement for the fire damage. And learned there had been a fire. The living room was so damaged I with smoke it is necessary for it to | be redecorated. ’ o SETTLED OUT OF COURT •: —— / j Art Schroeder settled out of court, I Saturday, a suit brought by Seider and Burgner for nonpayment of_jL : b'H amTunntm/To - s<k9tL-— ] —The~ “case was to have - been tried ' in the court of Justice of the Peace Shock.

They are, fortunately, as yet mainly commercial; and if we are only to lose money, and by painful poverty to be taught wisdom—the wisdom of honor, of faith, of sympathy and of charity—no man need seriously to despair. And yet the very haste to be rich, which is the occasion of this widespread calamity, has also tended to destroy the moral forces with which we are to resist and subdue the calamity.

BURNS CAUSE OF DEATH OF I MARY E. OTT Elderly Woman Hurt * By Burning Stick From Stove. Mrs. Mary Ellen Ott, aged about 60, widow of Oscar Ott, died Tuesday afternoon. Funeral services for her are being held this afternoon in New JParis. Mrs. Ott was taken to the Goshen hospital last Thursday, suffering from severe burns. Mrs. Ott, who makes her home ! ■ 0 with her son Arnel Rookstool, on the Ott farm on the Huntington road attempted to light a fire in the stove of her living room, about two weeks ago. She was carrying a burning stick of wood on a shovel from the kitchen stove into the living room I wheny the burning wood dropped to the rug on the floor. Mrs. Ott grasped the burning wood and managed to toss it into the stove, i severely burning her hand. In addi- i ■tian the burning stick touched her skirt and in an instant her dress was in flames. j She was severely burned on tne o front part of her body from her shoulders to her ankles. Her friends, Mrs. Lear and daughter, who live west of Goshen, came to take care of her, which they did for 10 days. But Mrs. Ott’s condition became! worse and she was taken to the Goshen hospital last week. o She is a niece of Mr. Wright, who robins at the home of Mrs. Rosie Bartholomew, and he went to the hospital to see Mrs. Ott, on Sunday, and reported her condition was serious. Mrs. Ott is the half sister of Mel Violet who was killed on his farm a year ago last summer.

Seventeen months later, in March, 1859, business was back at normal again. e “Os our own troubles no man can ( see the end.” They said it in 1857, and it has been said many times, before and since.

SYRACUSE IS NOT WINNER OF TOURNEY In Fact Comes Out In Last Place With Nappanee First. Z— Syracuse came home' from ~ the tournament at Milford, Saturday, with the undisputed right to occupy that not vei - y comfortable position of last place, The tournament was won by Nappanee. They defeated Syracuse in the afternoon by the score of 45 to 16. In! the evening they won from New Pari* in the final game of the tourney, 29 to 23. I In this game Nappanek was forced to their limit by New/Paris, who had a tight defense, a by the name of Neff and the Spirit of Battle. Members of Nappanee’s team were big, tall and fast, and -their team work was excellent. Their ability to make baskets from points near the center of the floor was the undoing of New Paris. At the end of the first quarter Nappanee had made 12 points wjiile New Paris had been able to make only 2 points, two free throws by Neff. In the second and third quarters New Paris held their line of defense land got their offense working, so ! by the time the gun sounded for the l end of the third quarter the score i was 25 to 18, in favor of Nappanee. Then came the fourth quarter, the period that kept the crowd yelling and cheering. New Paris went in determined to win, and nearly did so. They made two field goals after missing a try at a free throw, bringing the score to 25 to 22. Nappanee missed three tries at free throws, ( and New Paris missed another. Then Owen, Nappanee’s big center got loose and shot a field goal.

The general feeling expressed at the meeting was to wait and see how rates compared. Some of the men, however, said' that they believed that since most commodities have come down in price, electrical rates should be reduced. Noble Myers, local manager of the Northern Indiana Public Service Co,, states that the rates were not raised in the boom I period when everything else went up in price, and that was probhbly one of the reasons why the rates have not been cut Members of the Chamber of Commerce were urged to write the fish and game department for “restocking fish blanks” to fill these out and return them, so that Lake Wawasee would receive its full share of fish from hatcheries. The date for the “Fat and lean” basketball game was set for Thursday evening, Jan. 28, a change from the previous date announced, Jan 7. George Xanders explained that since the Journal did not publish a paper on Dec. 31, the committee decided the game would not receive enough publicity, so it was postponed. The committee . also explained there would be a barrel race, a cake walk and other stunts the evening of the game. Admission will be 10 cents and 20 cents, the proceeds to go towards paying off the note on the channel, the principal of which is about >IBO.
