Ay Arthur Brisbane FIVE LITTLE GIRLS AT ONCE BIG BILLS COME BACK ONLY FLEW THE ATLANTIC CUBA REMEMBERS

Mrs. Oliva Dionne of North Bay, Ont., had five children last Sunday •nd “expected" another. She has ten children, her family increased by five girl babies at one birth. Dr. A. R. Dafoe of Callander says: “The five little girls are all well and chirping." This will interest millions of women far more than NRA, the RussianJapanese complications or the approaching home-going of congress. Bills of large denomination, from SSOO to SI,OOO and SIO,OOO, t are used rarely in ordinary affairs. When banks began closing and people became frightened, it was observed that bank customers were asking for these big bilislin exchange for checks, and before long, millions of them disappeared. The federal reserve considers it a good sign that they are coming out from hiding. Just before the bank crisis the amount of big bills in hiding rose to one billton nine hundred millions. Os these large bills, three hundred and fifty millions have recently returned to the United States treasury and to reserve banks, which, according to »he federal reserve, indicates “better times." Two French flyers, Capt. Maurice Ro»si and Lieut. Paul Codos, landed on Long Island after an attempt to fly nou-stop from Paris to'California, 6,000 miles. The two French men are said to be greatly humiliated by their inability to fly on and reach California, where a glorious reception * awaited them. It would seem that flying the Atlantic westward, infinitely more difficult than going the other way, is a sufficient accomplishment, considering that leas than twenty-five years* ago Lord Noithcliff was offering ten thousand pounds to any man that would fly. across the little English channel; The day is not far away when men will fly non Stop from Paris to San Francisco as a matter of course and from anywhere on earth to any other spot on earth.

REPUBLICANS CONVENE, PERSPIRE, NOMINATE, ADJOURN PERSPIRING

Mrs. Harry Porter and Roscoe Howard spent Tuesday in Indianapolis, where Howard was Turkey Creek Township’s delegate to the Republican state convention. Mrs. Porter went, thanks to the kindness of Morrison Rockhill, county chairman, who gave her a guest card admitting her to the stage to see how conventions convene. It meant leaving Syracuse at 4 a. m. C. S. T., and like the only time Mrs. Porter ever served on an election board, it showed that politics get you up early in the morning. It was later that day reported in Indianapolis that some of the delegates who went from their homes the day before, for pre-convention business matters were kept up until early that morning. The audience in the Cadle Tabernacle began gathering early, in order to obtain places. Delegates each with an elephant pictured in the button-hole of his coat could arrive when they pleased, sure of seats in the section of their counties and districts, marked by signs posted over the tabernacle. Women who lived in Indianapolis and larger cities of the state arrived in lovely summer gowns and gloves, although the temperature in the tabernacle was rushing past the 100 mark before the convention opened. Women from small towns and out of the way places evidently decided no one would know them anyway, so just left the gloves at home. The band commenced playing, seeming to speed the arrival of the listeners and the delegates. These last only numbered 1600 and included both white and black, male and female. Streamers and decorations of red, white and blue draped from the ceiling of the tabernacle and the patriotic airs being played by the band made it a colorful scene. The

DROUGHT STORY: ON MONDAY IT RAINED Too Late to Save Some Onion and Mint Crops in This Vicinity; May Save Wheat and Oats. Daily papers have been filled this past week with big stories about the drought, out west and in this vicinity, but the big story about the drought here now is: It rained, Monday and Tuesday. Crops had been damaged in the west and in this vicinity before the rain arrived, however. Last week, Charles Crow said unless it rained by Saturday his second planting of onions would be ruined this season, and it is now too late to plant again. He said it wasn’t so much lack of rain but the unusual heat beating down upon the onions burned them brown, and did the same to mint as it pushed through the ground. j He said Sloan and Thomas and other onion growers near where his crop was. planted were seeing the same ruin, but that “Bully” Dewart had the best looking crop. When Dewart was questioned later he said his onions had not yet been damaged. When the bake sale was held in the Journal office, Saturday, by members of the Zion aid, several women were talking about having chickens overcome by the heat. They said two hens and a rabbit belonging to Mrs. Floyd Brower had died, Mrs. Sherman Deaton lost one hen and another one was almost overcome, Friday, and one of Mrs. Marie LeCounl’s hens died, Friday. Farmers in general seemed to despair of wheat and oats crops unless rain came soon, as wheat was heading. They said it would have to rain within a few days to see if the wheat would fill out. BEER TRUCK KULLS HORSE ON HIGHWAY Accident Sunday Afternoon Kills One of Asher Garber’s Horses. A truck belonging to the Kosciusko County Distributing Corp., and driven by Rjll Osborn, struck and killed a horse owned by Asher Garber, on the east-west road between Leesburg and North W’ebster near the Barbee Lakes turn, Sunday afternoon. It is said that two boys were going to lead two horses and a cow from the Garber barnyard, to cross the highway. One of the boys saw the truck coming and tried to wave back the animals, but all three reached the road, according to Osborn, and he had to choose which to hit, so he picked the smaller horse. The animal was killed, and one of the cases of beer stacked on the truck behind Osborn, whizzed past his head and broke through the windshield of the truck. Osborn was bruised and shaken * but not seriously hurt.

sun outdoors made it hot, even though all was serene within the party following Conferences and Important Talks before the convention ; opened. The seats available to the audience and the select few, numbering several hundred who were permitted to sit on the platform, became scarce and sobn one heard, “Pardon me, but I’m saving this seat for a friend” There was one who might be referred to as Mrs. A., who saved a seat for Mrs. B during the entire convention. Mrs B. arrived on the platform, but a few rows to the side of the speaker, just as Major Imrie driving home some heated words, and everyone in the row had to get up and let her pass to the. Seat which was Saved. From then through the entire convention, every ten minutes Mrs. B. would ask the rest of the row to pardon her while she passed them, that there was a Party over there She Just Must See. When delegates had arrived the convention was called to order with a microphone before the speaker and amplifiers hanging near the heads of speakers. Then the announcer from the Indianapolis radio station told i His Public that the Republican coni vention was about to open in Indianapolis and introduced Don B, Irwin state chairman. Mr. Irwin immediately introduced the minister who was to deliver the invocaton. His prayer was carried by radio. : Then Harry W. Thompson read to i the delegates < the purpose of the • 'convention, in case any didn’t know why he or she was there. The chairman of the committee for credentials announced there had been no < contest concerning any delegates to ! the convention, and Mrs. A. had i a heated argument with the usher i saying she was saving that seat for

a friend, and he said he didn’t care, the party he wished to place there was important Mrs. C. and Mrs. A. said Til teh my husband about do you know who I AM, and the usher said no ma’m but I want this seat, and Mrs. A. told him her name, and that her friend was Mrs. B and the usher said he never heard of her. And Mrs. A. said oh, you’ll know her the moment you see her, she has the most stylish clothes always. The usher said he’d wait a few minutes and watch for her then, and the chairman of the committee on rules continued to give his report to the convention just a few feet away from that argument. Then the committee suggested Major A. Imrie of Culver as temporary chairman and he was elected so, unanimously. He commenced his talk, which was being broadcast, and photographers commenced taking flashlights of him, and he kept the weariest delegates and the .most perspiring members of the audience laughing, except Mrs. A. and Mrs. 8., the latter who arrived just as he was making a particularly good point, and asked all those seated in The Row to please let her take her place there near the other end of the row, beside Mrs. A. The Row missed some of the better parts of the address as Mrs. Mrs. A and Mrs. B. had just seen the loveliest dress and my dear just think it only cost so much.

I DO YOU | REMEMBER— I I 20 Years Ago. When the county commissioners refused to renew the liquor license of B. A. Holton, thus closing Syracuse’s only saloon in a period of eight years? • • « 15 Years Ago. When Jasper Grimes bought the 71 acre farm from Wilmet Jones? * • • Ten Years Ago When the G. C.

When announcement was made of the marriages of Miss Louise Hedges and Aldean Snavely; of Miss Frieda Korn, who came from Germany with Mr. and Mrs. John Swanson the preceding autumn, and Elmer Long? 0 WATER METERS FOR SYRACUSE LIKELY Town Board Decides Waste of Water Must Stop, Fair Method of Selling it by Meter System The wasting of water and the speeding of automobiles through the streets were the chief topics of discussion during the town board meeting, Tuesday evening. Before the discussion turned to the water situation, the contract for street lighting was finally amended amicably. The contract as it now stands is effective for five years, and at the end of that period, is effective from year to year, for five more years with the option that, either of the contracting parties may terminate the contract by giving a 60 day notice before any yearly period expires. After the many ways in which water is wasted in town was discussed, the unanimous conclusion made by the board was that the only way to stop waste of water and the fairest method of selling water, was by the meter system. No definite action was taken, but members are considering seriously, the buying of meters within one or two years. It was also decided at the meeting that signs should be erected to warn motorists about speeding through the streets, and that known offenders should be warned personally. 0 — WARSAW NOT GIVEN AIRPORT BY COUNTY Commissioners Decide if Warsaw Wants Airport That City Must Pay for Same. The county will not furnish county equipment free of charge to build the Warsavr\airport. Such was the decision of commissioners, Tuesday evening, after listening to Chief of Police Lucas, who argued that Warsaw was entitled to an airport if Syracuse obtained one. It is said that all hope of obtaining an airport in Warsaw is now abandoned. During the discussion with the county commissioners, Chief Lucas accused Syracuse of ‘getting everything that it wanted,” ‘that its citzens stuck together,” and “that they were a smooth lot.” He also said that even the lanes in the vicinity of Syracuse were paved. In fact Lucas became qute incensed at the commissioners “No” and hurled charges that proceeds from slot machines were being used to pay for the Wawasee airport. County attorney George Xanders told him there weren’t any slot machines in Syracuse. i According to last night’s Warsaw Daily Times: “The Legion has leased the Beyer farm and guaranteed to pay the first year’s rental. Members were surprised that the board of county commissioners refused to loan county highway equipment to finish the project as gas and oil and drivers are furnished by the government. Francis K. Bowser, post commander, now located at South Bend was shocked when he found the board had tuern dnt owh board had turned down the request” 0 HAS NEW PEAS. Jesse Shock said that he picked 30 pounds of peas from his garden the morning of June 6th. Never before has he had ripe peas before about June 16th, and he says he thinks its because they were moved on to Daylight Savings Time. O TO HOLD REUNION.
