6/Arthur Brisbane WHAT IS AHEAD? MtBCLES SOO* OLD THE MOON PULLS US TO TOUGHEN YOU* LEGS In 1914, a* th* world gradually moved toward war, no on* in Eu- > rope realized what waa happening or going to happen. k In 1996, aa thia country move* to* ward the result of various theories, experiment* and efforts, nobody has the vaguest idea of what is really about to happen. Almost anything might happen. It b possible, and fortunately probable that what has happened before will happen again, that business and industry will gradually find their way back to normal, and, with officially shortened hours malting labor scarce, th* slogan may change from “Let the government support me" to “Give me a chance to work and climb to th* top.” That may come, and something very different may come. Once in so often it is necessary for nations and individuals to learn wisdom through first-class failure. That may be on the program for thia country at this moment. The wise man will make his arraangements. Time peases quickly; age comes •oon if you depend for success on muscles, legs, arms or eyes. Fifteen years ago Babe Ruth, “home run king,” was bought by “th* Yankees" for 9126,000, highest prie* •ver paid up to that lime for a barnball player. Now, only forty-one years old, he b released and goes to the “Boston Braves," who are not asked to pay even a penny for the man that ha* drawn millions of men and dollars to the club that “owned" him. Aa we go around th* sun, with the moon circling round our little earth, and our sun doubtless revolving around some other great central star unknown to us. the moon is always pulling at the earth, as a child pul to at its mother*| skirt. That pull gradually causes th* earth to “slow down" in speed, turning on iti axis. Doctor Nicholson, astronomer at Wilson observatory, says this constant pull of the moon will eventually make the earth turn so slowly that its days will be 47 days long instead of 24 hours. ot bsb * e and Jack Dempsey, who really "seemed to like fighting, apart from the profit.

DEPOSITORS TO RELIEVE 2ND PAYMENT At Least 10 Per Cent To Be Paid Soon By Old Bank. At least 10 per cent more is to be paid to depositor* of the old State Bank of Syracuse, during this coming month, according to Stephen Freeman, member of the board of trustees who are in charge of liquidating the frozen assets of the old bank. Approximately 915,000 bus been collected on the assets of the old institution and the sum will be distributed to the depositors, according to Mr. Freeman. Twenty-five per cent was paid to depositors of the old bank, and the bank, reorganized, opened anew, last May, with its 350 .shares of stock valued at 9100 a share in the hands of 78 stockholders. Depositors of the former bank had waivered their accounts, had signed papers stating they would not attempt to withdraw accounts, until frozen assets could be liquidated and a percentage paid to all depositor* alike. At that time Stephen Freeman, Roy Darr and Mr*. Fannie Hoy were selected as the board of trustee* who would liquidate the frozen assets as soon as possible, and when a fair sized sum was on hand would pay a,percentage to all depositor* alike. The State Bank of Syracuse was reorganised when the stock was sold, it will be recalled, and a new board of director* for the new bank was named, these being: Charles Purdum, president; Ralph Thornburg, Jesse Eschbach, Stephen Freeman and Judge Donald Vanderveer. Since that time Mr. Freeman and Mr. Darr have been busy trying to obtain money loaned on farm* and properties, by the old bank, to pay depositors of the old beak. And «MM* at least a 10 per cent payment to promised for this coming month, by Mr. Freeman. THIS WEATHER. Sunshiny weather, Friday, Saturday and Sunday meant that the east end of Syracuse lake opened, and one unusual sight, reported by Ernest Bushong, was a man fishing from a rowboat in the water at the •art end of Syracuse lake, and ice boats racing at the northwest end of the lake, at the same tiros, in th* same temperature. On Monday morning, fishermen were fishing through th* ice on the kettle of Lake Wawaaee, and on Tuesday fishermen were fishing there—from rowboats, as the ice had melted. Friday, March Ist, at 3p. m., thermometers on Main street stood at 53 degrees. On Saturday and Sunday, temperature wu about the same, and on Monday at 2 p. m., the warmth had risen to 65 degree*. On Tuesday it was 61 degrees, with yesterday slightly cooler. The heavy wind which blew with almost hurricane speed, in this vicinity, for a abort while w about 10 o’clock Monday night, effected wires so that bulbs of all the street light* burned out. This wind also blew over th* water tank at th* gravel pit. The melting of ice end frost from th* ground meant muddy car* for rural mail carriers th* first of thto week, with several “sticks in the mud" reported. Th* snow storm north of hers was a sleet storm here, early thto morning, and ice fro** on branches of trees’ and wires, the letter causing trouble for the telephone company and the electric company. Wires down in their barnyard prevented Sherman Deaton turning oct stock thto morning until linemen c leered the way. Filling stations couldn't supply gas thto morning until power came on again; the work at the Journal office was at a standstill—and Herb King and Guy Hayes came to town for a haircut—but had to wait for power, or consent to the use of the hand clippers. Work was stopped st Wilt's for more than an hour—a rather expensive time out according to W. M. Wit. When the power finally was turned back on, the Morning had Become Electra-ic. 0 1 7 — UNDERGOES OPERATION Ma*. George Lewallen underwent an operation in th* Goshen hospital, Monday. -

HOPE FACTORY WILL NOVE TO SYRACUSE Syracuse Business Men Investigating Chance of Wood Work Factory Coining Here. A committee of Syracuse business -«nen, during the past few days, has been investigating the possibility of | having a wood-work factory move I from Walkerton to Syracuse. According to the committee, Mr. Miller, who owns the factory, must move from Walkerton because the people who own the building which | he occupied forced him to vacate { and there is no other building suitj able for his work, in Walkerton. To move to Syracuse, providing that a suitable building can be found, Miller has requested that part of the cost of moving be paid by the town and that arrangements be made whereby he can.be advanced money on bonatide orders which he receives. Tuesday afternoon, Miller and his son were in Syracu e, looking over the community building and the old cedar chest factory building. Miller turned down the community building a* not suitable and said that the cedar chest building might do. The committee has approached Ernest Buchholz, who now owns this building, to learn how much rent he wants for the building. Mi ler expects to pay rent, wherever he moves. Miller claims that he expects to employ 25 people. The factory makes extension ladders, furniture and fixtures for restaurants and cases. Miller said that he has received propositions from the town of Bremen, and from a town in Michigan if he will move to either of these places. The committee of Syracuse business men is composed of W. G. Connolly, Charles Bachman, Warren T. Colwell, John Grieger. o FATHER INJURED AS HE TRIES TO SAVE SON Hollis Blue Attempted to Rescue Five Year Old Son Who Darted Into Path of Machine on Road 1. " When Hollis Blue tried to save his five year old son from injury, as he had darted into the path of a car on Road 2 near their home west of Richville, Blue suffered serious injuries and so did the boy.

The accident occurred on Friday. o — WILL LANDSCAPE SECTION OF PARK Beer of Milford Offers to Build Sunken Garden, Rock Garden and Terrace Hill Last week Roscoe Howard asked for a donation of trees to be planted in the park. This week, Henry Beer, florist and prominent landscape gardner from Milford, made his offer to the park. He plans to do landscape work, next month, in the northern corner of the park, next to the Pottowatomie P*rd road. Then he intends to build a sunken garden, a rock garden, and will terrace th* hillride, he said. The landscape work will be 76x100 feet. According to Roscoe Howard, the next need 1* for water. There's the lake—but no pipe to carry water to flower*, plants, etc. So the plea this week is, in addition to * request for a tree donation, that any club in- ; tereated tn a city park for Syracuse, i ts erited to buy pipe for carrying w»t«r for ua* in the park. Mr. Bert's offer yesterday, mad* » to the men interested in th* city I park, was greatly appreciated. FISH ARE BITING.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY MARCH 7, 1935.

FOUND—AN HONEST MAN t Monday afternoon, a man who might be called a “bum" who was, however, clean although not welldressed, inquired for the postmast1 er, at the local postoffice. He said he had been walking along the B. and O. tracks and bad found this letter—which be showed to Mr. I Whitehead—and that it contained a ! money order for 915. ' It had been mailed that morning » in Nappanee and was addressed to a party in Greenfield, Ind. The man said that he thought it would be t needed somewhere and that he had t brought it to the Syracuse postoffice i for re-mailing. 1 It is thought the letter must have dropped from a hole in a mail sack when picked up by a fart train. Mr. Whitehead asked the man’s 1 address, and was told that he hadn't ' any, that he was just a hiker. Mr. Whitehead gave him a token of ap--1 preciation and sent the letter on to the one to whom it was addressed, 1 writing to both the party sending the money and the one who was to receive it, giving the details of how they were saved at least two months delay in payment of a money order gone astray, by an honest hiker who hiked five-eights of a mile out of his 1 way so that “someone cot * receive the money." ■ _— e —_ MENTONE WINNER OF DISTRICT MEET > F Syracuse Loses First Game to Atwood Friday P.

SMALLCHANd FOR WORK ON LAKEROADS Say Commissioners; Remy Plans Federal Project The county commissioners did not give representatives of the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce much encouragement, Tuesday, when they requested that the lake road between the Spink-Wawasee hotel past the airport, to the Woods farm be graded and treated with black top. Mr. Dorsey, the newest member of the commission, gave th* delegation the only hope of any improvement in the road this year, when he said that there was one bad stretch which was narrow and sandy, and which could be repaired in a few days time at not much expense to the county if the equipment was at any time near th* road. The general feeling of the commissioners, however, was that Turkey Creek Township had received more than its share of road repair* in the last few years, and that there are other roads in the county in far worse condition than roads in this township, and these other road* cannot be repaired this year, du* to lack of money. Fred Ringberger said that he had received letters about th* amount of money which had been spent on roads in this vicinity. Turkey Creek township is the largest tex paying , unit outside of the city of Warsaw, however, so if distributed proportionately to the amount of money paid in, has a few road repairs due each year. •- ’ . There seemed to exist among the commissioners a marked uncertainty as to the amount of money which ' would be available this yesr for reed work in the county. They have adopted a policy of waiting to see what the legislature will bring forth in the present session. ’ They have also agreed to retire $12,000 worth of road bonds this year, with money received from the gasoline tax, which amount they stated could do much road work if it had not been diverted to bond payment. The $12,000 was a compromise made by the commissioners when the Farm Bureau asked that 925,000 of money received from the gasoline tax be used to retire road bonds this year. I The delegates from Syracuse also learned that Frank Remy, the owner of the Lake Wawasee Golf course has stated that he can obtain Federal money to build a road from the end of the pavement at the Spink-Wawasee hotel, east until it strikes the north and south black topped road coming from the east end of the lake, the road to go along ' the lake shore instead of cutting through his golf course. It was told the delegates that the B. & O. railroad would furnish dirt for the fill because if the road is built, it will eliminate much traffic from two railroad crossings on the B. & O. right of way. Remy also stated that the road would cost the county nothing except the use of the road equipment, according to information given the commissioners. As far as could be learned the commissioners are awaiting developments, as no absolutely definite information has been obtained as to whether Remy can get this Federal project or not. 0 GOES THROUGH ICE. When Frank Farley, in charge the fish hatchery, was walking from his cottage on Lake Papakeetchie, across the ice to Galloway's grocery Sunday, he went through the ice. He managed to tread water and remove his heavy coat, which he threw on the ice. With effort which almost exhausted him, he was able to pull himself out of the water, on to the ice, and make his way to Galloway’s. He’s been suffering with a cold this week. a FARM IS SOLD. ,C. C.
