One trouble with this country is | that it has too much lawmaking, not 1 enough action. A British person named Brotherton makes this observation “Not the number or excellence of a country’s laws ; but the extent to which they are obeyed is the real test of a civilization. In the last ten years the United Stales has passed over five hundred thousand legislative enactments in the same period Great Britain passed seventeen thousand. At the sente time fifty murder* are I committed in the United States for | every one committed in Great Britain The value of laws doesn’t depend so touch on “the extent to which they ■are obeyed as on the extent !• which , they are enforced. o } ) hi Szabo, shoemaker, had two wives and missed them both.

Sir John Reeves Ellerman has died, leaving more than seventeen million pounds in cash and government securities, and the government gets eight million six hundred thousand pounds of inheritance; tax.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY AUGUST 24, 1»33.

WOMAN, 70, BUSY CANNING PEARS, HADN’T TIME TO GO TO JAIL

“I can’t go to jail now. I’m canning pears,” said Mrs. Charles Bishop , when six officers attempted to arrest her, Tuesday afternoon, accusing her of issuing a fishing license and charging 25 cents for the service. Mrs. Bishop is a dangerous woman a refined, gray-haired lady who will be 7.0 her next birthday. She’s been issuing fishing licenses for several years. Because visitors to Lake Wawasee become impatient and decide to go. elsewhere when they learn they must go to Warsaw, the county seat, to get fishing licenses before they can fish on Wawasee, several years ago Jesse Sargent sold licenses. Then he said it was endless trouble and Mrs. William Ehrhart sold these until about nine years ago. Then Mr. and Mrs. Bishop decided to perform this service. . According to the statue of 1927 it is unlawful for any person selling fishing licenses “to charge or collect or receive for any license any greater or less sum of money than is herein respectively prescribed.” And the law states how much an out-of-state resident must pay and how much others must pay. Mrs Bishop said books of Ifcenses already signed by the county clerk had. been sent to them, since they’ve

GAS TANK TORN OFF BUS FROM SYRACUSE

Junior Kern, Gail and Gordon Geiger, George Henwood, Duane and Harold Kline. Wilbur Niles, Harold Line. Billy Brown, Charles Yoder, Robert Hinderer, Nelson Auer, Dewit Disher, Russell Gawthrop, 6 caddies from the South Shore Golf course, went to the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago, Tuesday, making the trip in Jesse Shock's hack. The hack was damaged in an accident near Munster, where roads 41 and on the return trip. According to Mr. Shock, another car ran a red light and struck the hack. He said it must b«Ve damaged the steering gear in some way, as j the hack did not seem to steer prop- < erly. . He said the gasoline tank on the hack extends about four inches beyond the truck body, and that along the road there, telephone poles are close to the curb. At one point a curve in the road, a dip in the pavement and the steering gear all combined to throw vhe hack close to the curb so that the gasoline tank was ripped off by an overhanging telephone pole. He said it required two hours in a garagd in Munster to get the hack repaired and continue the journey to Syracuse. They arrived about 5 o’clock Wednesday morning. INVESTIGATING JELLYFISH Harry Yale, editor of the “Fisherman’s Guide,” who visited this vicinity Monday, was taken to see the jellyfish on Lake Wawasee, by J. H. Fleming. Samples of these were obtained and Mr. Fleming says Mr. ( Yale is asking different colleges to identify the animals to learn for certain if these are fresh-water jellyfish. If someone in Indiana doesn’t positively identify them samples are to be put in alcohol and sent to Washington. It is suspected they are fresh water jellyfish. So many people have called at the Wawasee Boat Service for fish, Kenneth Harkless says he’s going to put up * fence and charge 10 cents a fish. 0 BIRTH ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. Qda Rarig are announcing the birth of a daughter in the Goshen hospital, Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Weimer are announcing the birth of a daughter Janice Maxine, yesterday morning. The baby weighed 7 l i pound*. DON’T WASTE WATER Residents of Syracuse must discontinue all night sprinkling of lawns, and waste of water during the days, or sprinkling of lawns and roads will be stopped altogether. This conservation of water is by order of the .town board. Because of lack of rain this summer, the supply of water has become low. Ljsst night at 8 o’clock when the nightwatchman was in the Journal office be said that the pumps had been running since 1 o’clock that afternoon and "it* down to muck now.” In a couple more days we’ll be without water if people keep on," he said. He also said that water is low in the standpipe.

been selling licenses, and they issued these. She says its a bother making out monthly reports and sending these in, as well as a bother to issue a license at any hour of the day or night. A young man came to. the Bishop home, Tuesday afternoon when NJrs. Bishop was canning, pears, and wanted a fishing license. She stopped her work and filled o(it the license for him, Mrs. Bishop said, and received his money, including a 25 cent fee for her service. Just then, she said, she looked up and saw that she was surrounded by six men. one of whom wore a gunj They said: “You’re, under arrest ifor charging a fee. Give us those license books ” J * ; i Mrs. Bishop asked: “Does it take six bf you to make the arrest and ’get these books? Besides I can’t go, I’m canning pears." { I Just then Mr. Bishop appeared and announced for the sake of the pears he would go to court. He said he asked I the officers for j the warrant for the arrest, but says they didn’t have one. But Mr. Bishop said he’d go [anyway, he was going to have this flatter settled. So, Mr. Bishop ssid, the six men In two automobiles took him to Warsaw. “Do they £et mileage when (Continued on ; Last Pave)

When weeds and willow trees l»e---gan to grow upjon his real estate several months ago, Howard decided goats were the thing. And he obtained three from Loren Eyer, on the condition he taught same. One is a Billy-fjoat and the other two are Nanny g<|*ats. After chasing these animals in [various directions over 40 some acres, Howard finally contrived a trap in a fence corner, drove the grass-demolishers into the trap, and made tpem fast. Then he transferred same to a trailer and transported these to his island property on Kale Island. Now for more than two months these little helpers have been chewing weeds and trimming tree Branches. And Howard even made friends with them by taking with him salt to tempt the £oat family, when he went to inspect their landscape gardening achievements. Until alas,, one day last week be arrived to find one goat torn and chewed. Nearby residents reported to the irate Howard how a great big police dog had [swum across the channel, chased the poor goat over the private island, and ' finally caught it, after , the goat had hopped a fence or twp. The dog left his mark in deep slashes. Howard applied merchrucrome and offered sympathy to the goat. He returned there on Sunday to see if the animal was convalescing and was just in time to see a bull dog swim to the island to attack the goat family. ‘ i So Howard has threatened to kill the next dog wh<> puts in an appearance there. "They’ve gotta stop knocking my goats around,” he said. U DIES IN MILFORD. Mrs. Amanda McKibben, 83, died Tuesday afternoon at the home of *her son, James McKibben, in Milford.
