So they decided to consolidate if. they could get the depositors iip the two banks to waiver a portion of deposits. The same plan for obtaining waivers was adopted by the banking officials of Nappanee as has been used in Syracuse* even the wording of the agieements being identical. Before the plan sos re-opening was put into 4 operation, a large stockholder in one of the .Nappanee hanks told the Journal editor that there would be nothing to it, inferring that the people of Nappanee are broad-minded, more intelligent than the people of this community. He also said that there was no friction in Nappanee, that the plan could be executed harmoniously. In last week’s Nappanee paper, the editor <there was reduced to such a state of. mind that he was beseeching everyone to sign the agreements immediately, and mentioned the fact that depositors were asking, who was going to control the stock. Reading between the lines one gathers * that the plan in Nappanee is not being adopted harmoniously, and that practically the same problems are arising there that have arisen here, to* perplex directors of this bank, f<>r months. The only cons**l.tion that can be gkthered front Nappanee's plight is that misery loves company. The only hope that can be gathered is th i wws* HuirMie-frta:’. adopted by A he; Syracure brink for rehaniincAi.m is the only plan that is going to work. How long it will tun- for this realiaatin to take place, depends .on several human factors. MAIN STREET WHITTLINGS The first thunderstorm of the year Saturday, knocked out Syracuse’s delicately constituted electric lights for several minutes. Beaver Dam, no u-e belittling her got to the Indiana, olis tourney, anyway. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS ! The Journal is furnished with the following transfeis of teal estate by Houton C.

REVIEW. <By Bessie Witherel Ballard) “The Story of A Country Boy", by Daw/i Powell, published by Farrar & Rinehart, $2.50, is an interesting s’ory of the rise of a farm . joy to wealth and power in the in- ’ dustrial and. financial world and then of his return to the land as a result of the Depression. i' Chris Bennett had always been a hardwoiking, ambitious bßy, living with his widower father on an Ohio ( farm. Money was needed for the , farm and Chris took a 'job in a i foundry. He was an intelligent j worker, loved by his fellow-em- i ployees. He was democratic in ail i his thoughts and actions; but bysteady strides he advanced and became General Manager of a large ndustrial plant; eventually becoming the„ regulation wealthy “selfn sde man”. After the Great War he returned .o his woik at the plant. From then on until the first shadows of the L‘eiession, he rose s easily in power; ii he was shocked and mentally wakened by a strike of* his employees and their attack uporr his pei-son. Then he realized th he vas no longer a member of the Labor Class, but belonged to the Capitalist Class, leaving his erstwhile laboring friends estranged, out of sympathy with and envious i if him. - i The author tells in a piersing nar- . r .live style of his family life, his ' friends, his ultimate heavy drinking, the steady financial losses and ! final crash caused by the Depres- ' sion. The story abounds in the colorful j incidents of a rich man’s career, ! his triumphs and tragic defeats; ending on a peaceful, pastoral note, nothing and satisfying to the reader.

The SYRACUSE JOURNAL

Itvm |t Q) Youngstown, 0., March 18, 1934 "Editor Syracuse Journal, Dear Sir: No doubt you will be surprised to receive a letter from someone ; you don’t know, but I would like to , find out a few things about the i town. My name is Tom Giegory. I lived in Syracuse about six years and then we moved to Youngstown. I was just wondering if any of the boys I useO to chum with are still living there. I will mention a few of their names and m ybe you will know them. There was Orvil Strieby Paul McClintic, Charles Sellers, Robr etMengil and brothers, and a lot more whose names I can not recall at the present time. I understand the town has been built up a lot and that there is a library at the place where w-e lived across from the school on Main s’reet The fellows here think they have good fishing, but I tell them for good fishing they will have to visit Syracuse. Well if you meet anyone that knows me, please give them my address end teil them to write to me as I sure would like to hear from them. The first chance I get I am coming to Syracuse *and look it over. No doubt, I will be surprised. Well, Mr. Editor, anything you can-do fir me will be greatly appreciated. Well I will close for this time and hope to hear from you in the near future. Very Truly Yours, TOM GREGORY, 424 So. Pearl St. Youngstown, O. Preeceville. Sask., Canada, March 13, 1134 Editor Syracuse Journal, Syracuse, Ind. . Dear Sir: Please find mouney order for a i year’s subscription to the Journal i We have had a very hard winter in ithe Noith West. The snow came the _uth of October, and is still with us. ! We had a month of sub-zero weath- ; er. All the way from 18 to 48 below. We had good crops in this district last year, plenty of feed for stock, and they are all in good shape. But of course we didn’t get very much for it, 50 cent wheat doesn’t go very far. I have a bunch f Yoikshiie hogs soon ready for market, they are £8.60 now. Our gardens in this district were he bet t last year that we have hr.d for a long time. This dirtrßX gave sca-rJ c. rl>,.< s to tlje. dried out districts south and wtst-of us. The roads have been very bad lately. We had a thaw ivhich spoiled them. It has been very icy since. I have been out in all the cold weather, hauling hay', getting up j wood. I haven’t hid a cold this ’ winter. We are both as w ell as . usual. With Best Wishes to all old Friends in Syr.case and Vicinity, We Remain Delbert and Edna Norris. < ■- . Editor Syr cuse Journal: i Samuel P. Byeis, whose death ■ was mentioned in the Journal, was | the son of Moses Byers, who owned the farm on which the Byers church I and cemetery are located east of

town and for whom they are named, j Mr. Byers left here about fifty ■ years ago and went to Kansas where he was engaged in the grocery and later in the banking business. 4 He was married to Ella Snavely, a sister to Mrs. Edmonds and Mrs. Thibodeaux of Syracuse. My father and Mr. Byers became acquainted when they were young men and they corresponded ail these years, and when Mr. Byers came back home, which he did frequently great was-their joy in getting together. The last time Mr. Byers was here he and my father came over to call on me, I realized then that it was perhaps their last meeting on thie earth as both were in failing health and Mr. Byers returned home sooner than expected, on account of his illness. When we laid father away he was wearing the ring with the initials S. P. B. engraved which Mr. Byers had given him nearly sixty ye rs i-go. Theirs was a lasting friendship and greater.w.ll be their joy when they meet again. Roy Kiddle. HEX CORNERS Thirty-one members of Hex Grange went to Jimtown Tuesday evening to attend the joint meeting of the 10 Elkh rt county granges. Visiting grangers, from adjoining counties as well is several state officials w ere pi esent. There was keen disappointment over the absence of Woithy Master John G. McKee, since the meeting was caded in his honor. Although illness , prevented his coming, the meeting was carried on as though he were present. A pot luck supper was served at 7 o’clock, followed by short talks by state officials and Rev. Armstrong. The table tor the honored guests had a centerpiece of spring Howers and each guest at this table teceived a yellow rose, all donated by Bj ron Sassaman. The remainder the program was furnished by the 10 granges of the county. A friendship quilt of 20 blocks was made by the ladies of Success Grange. Each person who paid a small fee had his name embroidered on the block of his Grange. This quilt was to be presenteH to Mr. McKee at this meeting, l*it because he could not be theie, the commit-
