As Arthur Brisbane FIND COMFORT IN GREECE THE BRITISH WAKE UP NEW CIVILIZATION? FREMONT OLDER Americans, with comparatively small troubles, may find comfort in reading about Greece, where gov* eminent airplanes are bombing gov* - ernment battleships, seized by rebels. From the Averoff, pride of the * Greek navy, "flames rose high” when a 250-pound baby bymb struck her deck. What would happen if a 5,000-pound bomb struck a ship? Ancient names taking you back to school days are scattered through Greek civil war reports. Venizelos, a true Greek patriot, supporting the revolution, dwells on the little island of Crete, where the Minotaur,, half human, half bull, used to live and devour youths and maidens from Athens. In this world of trouble, sorne'thing must explode somewhere. Ramsay MacDonald tells the commons that Germany’s military activity compels Britain to extend her boundaries of "imperial air protection” to the banks of the Rhine. Armies of men mean nothing. Flo ting ships me.n Little. A while ago Lord Rothermere, warning his <Jountry usefully, as his brother, (Lord Northcliffe, did in the big war /was telling the British that they > must have at least 5,000 fighting planes. His adv.ce, at first ridiculed, is now taken seriously and Britain will have the planes. Old American methods that have built up this country, such as it is, are called out of date by leading minds in Washington. Mr. Rich berg, supposed to be closest to the President in thought, tells a Miami audience "the World war marked the passing of a civilization. "What kind of civilisation * will take its place? With all possible respect for professors and reformers, you woder if they can, offhand, manufacture a belter one. . The desth at seventy-eight of Fremont Older, for more than fifty years a courageous fighting paper man ih Californm, recalls Victor Hugo’s words: "The death of the just tnan is like the end of a beautiful day.” Fremont Older’s life, character and work were worthy of his im prestive stature and benign expression. Il may be said of him, as was said of Gladstone, that ’his # heart was ever with the weak and miserable poor.” Every good cause found a defender in him; the meet miserable convict, released from prison, might find a friend in him. There is a heaven, of course, and Fremont Older is there. If there were no heaven, his character and merit would "make it necessary to invent one. •• ‘ —- ■ Alabama voted dry, stands with Kansas, one of the two dry states of the Union. Northern racketeers and bootleggers must not hastily conclude that Alabama offers a paradise of profit. First, Alamaba knows how to make corn whUky at a price per gallon that would discourage any bootlegger; second, the man of Alabama are not as long suffering as men of New York. Racketeers would find Alabama is bad climate for their health. Parte and American dressmakers tell woman that she must now drees in a fashion "revealing the outlines and curves of the human form.* To know exactly what the outlines of the human form are, take a walk through the streets of Miams near public or private bathing beaches. You will see strolling to their homes, as free from care or selfconsciousness as little birds, hundreds at ladies, some tall and thia, a majority short and fat, with literally nothing on from the waist up that could not be replaced by two half coconut sheas fastened to the chaft with a string around the back of the neck, and below the waist a wtep at material that would make Eve’s skirt of leaves look like a ball drees. * r Such costumes are unwise ‘salesmanship.”’ The old-faahlpned muslin dress down to the ankle, up to the neck, aroused romantic Interest and uncertainty. v On an island in the Pearl river, inhabitants of a Chinees fishing village dreaded and disliked a small settlement where 24 lepers lived nearby. A dispatch from Hongkong says the villagers have solved their problem by a massacre of the 24 lepers, followed by* the destruction and burning at ■ their settlement. That shocks us now, but such barbarity was once the rale. The old were killed and sometimes estau in pnminvt TO HAVE FISHERY.

VOLUME XXVII

DEPOSITORS TO BE PAID ON MARCH 18 $15,000 Available for Depositors in Old Syracuse Bank. According to SterlAn Freeman of the board of trustees, liquidating frozen assets of the old bank of Syracuse, deposits of which were waivered: “The Trustees in Liquidation of The State Bank of Syracuse will ir*ke the first distribution of the assets placed in their charge for liquidation on Monday, March 18. “The distribution will amount to 10 per cent of the restricted deposits in the hands of the Trustees, or approximately $15,000.00, and will be paid by chock, at the bank, by the Trustees or by the Bank cashier, their authorised agent. *ln order to receive his check, each person who owns a restricted deposit must bring his trustees certificate to the bank so that the amount of his share in this distribution mya be recorded both on the certificate and on the records kept by the trustees. No checks will be issued until this trustees certificate has been presented for record. "Quite a number of persons owning restricted deposits have not as yet exchanged their certificates of deposit in the old bank for the trustees certificates. This exchange must Se made before the depositor can receive his share in the 10 per cent distribution. "It te very probable that another distribution will be made some time later in this year of 1935, but the exact date cannot be given now. -It is thought best that the funds now available be distributed immeditely, and later distributions made as soon as appreciable amounts can be collected. "The trustees feel that they have not been slower m iiquidftQng assets than has been the experience in other communities, although the process of converting Such trusteed assets into money tea slow process, requiring many tedious negotiations, which reveal very thoroughly the degree of faith which may be placed in the promises of various types of borrowers when under stress. "The trustees accepted the task of collecting debts for the benefit of depositors to whom money te due, and they feel that the moral obligation of the debtor te more vital than the obligation that te legal, only. The trustees, too, in endeavoring Co collect debts, are not impelled by personal ill feeling against debtors. ” FIRE FOLLO WS TEAM IN DASH UP STREET Byrket’s Mules see Flames In Wagon Behind Them and Runaway Up Huntington Street. Charles Byrket’s team of mules traveled up jiuntington street, Monday afternoon, pulling a wagon of burning rubbish behind them, knock ing some of the flaming pasteboard eartons off the wagon, in their frightened scramble up the hill from Main street. Byrket had collected rubbish, old paper, pasteboard, and so forth from Grieger’s store, loading it into his wagon in the alley st the rear of the store. In addition ashes from the furnace were put into the wagon and Byrket said he thought there was no fire in these ashes. ' But when ho drove down, to Baarl street, then to Huntington, the wagon was ablaze behind him. The mules, when they turned the corner, saw the flames and becoming frightened, ran acmes part pf Ed McClintic’s yard, knocking some of the burning rubbish off into the yard and the street, and the mutes continued on up Huntington street, knocking the burning boxes off as they ran—and in that way losing tho driver.

MRS. GANTS BREAKS«ARM IN FALL DOWN STAIRWAY Both bones were broken in her , left arm, one bone pushing through ! the skin, when Mrs. W. C. Gants fell down the basement stairs to the landing, in the home of her cousin, Mrs. E. W. Bartholomew, at Ligonier, Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Gants had gone there, calling, Sunday. When Mrs. Gants went to the kitchen to bid Elbertine goodbye, she did not find her in the kitchen. Starting back to the living room, in the dark hallway, Mrs. Gants opened the wrong door and walked off the top step of the cellar stairway. Hi The rest of the party were in the -'living room, and she had to scream to make herself heard, and then with difficulty they found her on the landing of the stairs. The doctor gave Mrs. Ganta an anti-tetanus shot, Monday morning, ; having set her arm, Sunday, as he wanted to prevent blood-poisoning which might have been caused by i the bone protruding through the JUNIORS TO GIVE PLAY ON MAR. 22 Rehearsals for "Hold Everything” I Going Forward Under Direction of Miss Lillian Hamman - "Hold Everything," the Junior ! c’.am play, will be given Friday evening, March 22, in the High School gymnasium.

FACTORY PROJECT DISCUSSED AT C. OF C. MEETING The moving of the Walkerton Manufacturing Co., to Syracuse; the raising of money to buy medals and a plaque for the annual High School Golf tournament; the question of repairing the road on the northside of the lake and free picture show or a band this summer, were all discussed at the Chamber of Commerce meeting, Tuesday, at the Wawasee Restaurant. W. G. Connolly presented a letter from M. G. Miller, owner of the Walkerton Manufacturing Co., in which Miller said that the old Wawasee Cedar Chest building would be suitable for his factory, and thai he would move his plant to the town of Syracuse, if Syracuse would pay him SSOO, if satisfactory terms could be arranged with Ernest Buchholz, the owner of the building, for its use. Miller said that he would not need any financing on his orders. W. T. Colwell said that he and the rest of the committee had talked with Buchholz and he thought that an arrangement could be made whereby if Miller would repair the building he could have its use with this as payment of three years rent. After the three years period was over, Colwell said that Miller would pay a certain stipulated rent. Most of the members of the business men’s organization felt that SSOO should not be raised, to give to Miller to move his plant here. Some thought there were enough trucks in town, the service of which could be donated to him for moving. Connolly said that he thought •the SSOO asked by Miller was to be used for repair of the building, as iMilier did not know the building was to be rent free for three years if repairs were paid. The committee in charge of the affair was instructed to get in touch with Miller and explain Buchholz's proposition. For High School. Court Siabaugh appeared before the group and said that the High School had no money to buy medals and a plaque for the winner of the annual High school srolf tonrnaxwat which ha* Mid on the South Shore Golf coui*e the past two years and that he needed financial help co buy these. The South Shore Golf club donates the use of the course free of charge for the event, and the school and business men have been purchasing the medals. Enough money was donated at the meeting to insure that medals and plaque could be purchased, and Rev. Pettit and Mr. Siabaugh will collect it. The tournament will be held on May 11, and about 20 schools are expected to participate. Roads. H. L. Porter was appointed to collect data on the amount of taxes paid by Turkey Creek Township, the amount of money that the township has paid for improvement of roads, make out a road budget, and with a delegation, make a proposition to the county commissioners concerning the resurfacing of the lake road between the Spink-Wawa-see hotel and the Woods farm. Fred Hoch, Ray Foster and Dr. O. C. Stoelting were appointed to confer with th* band, to try to make arrangements for weekly band concerto again this summer. Some of the business men favored a free movie on Saturday night. Others thought that the band and free movie should both be held during the week. Others thought that both could not be supported. What the outcome will be te problemetical. MRS. ROBISON WAS BURIED WEDNESDAY Her Death at Her Home on Boston Street Sunday, Foßowed Long 111-Health.

SYRACUSE TO LOSE $625 BY LIQUOR LAW No Longer Will Receive Half of License of Wholesaler. * The new liquor bill of the stat* will materially reduce the revenue of the town of Syracuse, if the copy of the liquor law which Ross Osborn, county beer wholesaler has in his possesion is correct. According to the provisions of the bill all the wholsaler*s license fee will go to the state general fund. Previously 50 per "cent of the fee was placed in the general fund of the town and the other half in the * state’s general fund. . Last year Syracuse received SSOO from Osborn's wholesale beer license and $125 from his wine license. However the new law makes provisions that if budget deficiencies occur the deficiency will be paid out of the state general fund if the deficiency was caused by the change in the redistribution of the license fee. A larger percent of the license fee will be received by the town from fees paid by beer retailers and .beer dealers. The new law provides that two thirds of such fees shall given to the town and one third to the general fund. The fee for beer retailers and dealers is $l5O in a town the size of Syracuse. The old liquor act provided that such fees should be divided, 50 pAr cent to the town and the other half to the general fund. The new act provides that town boards in towns of less than 5000 can pass ordinances prohibiting the establishment of a liquor retail store. However, the board cannot pass any ordinance regulating beer retailors or dealers. According to one interpretation of the act, if any one wants to start , a liquor retail establishment in Syracuse, f the license fee will be 4 the same as the fee for a retail* store in the city of Warsaw, or SSOO even if the license fee for retail liquor stores was stipulated in the act as $450 for towns of less than 2750 population. The gallonage tax on beer was reduced' from 5 cents a gallon to 3 1-3 cents. Provision is made for taking care of public intoxication.
