PEOPLE ARE TALKING OF THE WEATHER Thermometers Hover Round Zero Over Christmas. After indicating a mild winter, • the weather man started to show how he had changed hit rpind, and snow and cold arrived on Dec. 19. The next day was the end of the quail season—bat no one was out hunting quail and rural mafl carriers didn't return to town until almost S o'clock in the afternoon. County road plows attempted to keep the roads open, but more snow and wind caused drifts to form rapidly. Syracuse lake which had had a coat of ice on it once before, but which had melted, commenced freezing again on Dec. 19 and Dec. 20, and by the week end before Chrbtmh both Syracuse Lake and Ijike Wawasee were frosea over. Mrs. Josie Snavely had workmen start cutting ice for her ice cream plant, on Thursday, Dec. 26, and the ice was A inches thick when * they commenced that day, and 8 inches thick when the work was v compistad Monday, Dec. .10. The thermometer kept going 'slightly above, and then below the aero mark, holiday waek, and many people who had planned to go away on Christmas remained at home because of the young ? hlissard which fell that morning. Monday morning this week, Dec. SO, greet were the arguments as to how cold it sraa When people got up. Fwiden Sharp claimed 14 below aero; Ralph Method said his thermometer showed 12 below; L. A. Seider had 6 below at his home on Huntington street and Dr. Hoy had 8 below at hie home on the lake. , The first sign of any relief came yesteiday when some of the mow almost managed to melt e little, but the sky was dark, with the threat of more snow to coma. Automobile wreckers were busy during the holiday week, because when cars got off the beaten track, >. they couldn't bo driven back to it, from the drifts, under their own power. With ail this weather in' Indiana, daily newspapers have carried stories of the record cold south of here—the Tennessee River frozen over, two million dollar damage in Atlanta. from ice on trees, shrubs and v» ires; a temperature of 28 at the U. S. weather bureau in Tampa, Fla., and 40 at Miami. In a letter to L A. Seider, Mrs. Sender, who had started south with Mr. and Mr*. King and Mr. and Mr*. H. D. Harkless, wrote that between Chawanooga and Atlanta the driving whs even slower than it had been, that It was necessary to stop every so often and break the ice off the radiators and fender* of the car*. Farmm* reported after the first drop in temperature that they had found sparrow* and starlings froasn to death when they went oat to ! Ohsir barns. y |£ Then last night ft rained and icy pavements made chains necessary for walking or driving this morning.«

CHARLES WEYBRIGHT FIRST IN THIS VICINITY TO GROW HYBRID SEED CORN

C. F. Chart., F. Weybright, whose hybrid eoirn displays, at the Goshen Jubilee in October and at the New Paris Corn adn Potato Show attracted so much interest that he has written an article on how he grew the seed corn. There are many way* of producing hybrid seed corn. We followed the plan recommended by U. S. Department of Agriculture. The hybrid seed corn idea has been growing by leaps and bounds thp past several year*. Its value is for seed in the production of a crop of commercial corn. Its production Is considered to be from ten to thirty per cent more than best commercial varieties under similar conditions. Not all hybrids are efficient. Our regular field corn b a good yellow dent variety with high yielding record but thb hybrid has far exceeded our regular corn in production thb year. Thb hybrid corn was drilled in rows three feet four inches apart, entirely isolated from all other corn to prevent mixing. We used two in-bred strains, each row being labeled. The soil condi-

LOCAL BOYS WIN FROM NO. WEBSTER First Team’s Score is 27 to 15; Second Team Defeats Riveals 37 to 1*; In Game Here December 24 In a slow, rather uninteresting j game from the viewpoint of the spectators, the Syracuse High school basketball team defeated North Webster for the second time thb season, Friday evening, Dec. 20, in the local school gym, by the score of 27 to 15. In spite of the fact that the game looked slow, Syracuse nearly doubled the score, and at no time during, the game did North Webster even threaten to overcome Syracuse's lead. North Webster’s poor showing was something of a surprise, for the week before they had defeated the strong New Paris team. Bitner, Stucky, Smith, Held and Doll started the game for Syracuse. Stucky and Held were taken out. on fouls before the game was over. Doll proved to be the star player on the Syracuse team, leading in the scoring and furnbhing the drive which kept the local team going. The unequal strength of the two teams b shown in the score by periods. At the end of the first quarter, Syracuse lead 9 to 2; at the end of the half, 16 to 5; at the end of the third quarter, 24 to 9. Syracuse scored * 17 per cent of their throws at the basket, and No. Webster 14 per cent, according to the count kept by Bert Ward Jr. Syracuse made a better showing than their opponents in shooting free throws, making good five out of 10 tries; while North Webster made only 5 out of 16. Scores made by Syracuse players were: FG FT P FIB Bitner 3 1 0 7 Stucky 2044 Dbher 0 0 0 0 Smith 2 1 3 5 Coy 0 0 0 0 Held 1 0 4 2Beck 0 0 10 Dell 3 3 19 Total 11 5 13 27 The second team also thoroughly defeated the vbitors, their score being 37 to 19.

It b thought they were on their way home from the dance at Yellowbanks hotel, in Miller’s two-door Ford sedan. Volney, son of Mr. and, Mrs. D. J. Miller of Nappanee Was driving, and after the fatal wreck, Moore said he thought the other two fellows had fallen asleep, and when he saw the train, he grabbed the steering wheel to turn the car to the right, and pulled on the emergency brake. Vbibility was poor for motorists due to frost on the windshields and windoqrs of cars that night. Another vbion of Moore’s story of how the accident occurred was the lights of the approaching train were seen but that Miller thought the lights were from a car coming from the west. After the crash, Moore, who was thrown from the car, was bleeding from cuts about the face and head, but started to run uptown for help'. - Gordon Johnson, whose car was near the Eureka Jones place when the accident happened, turned the machine around and hurried to the Grand Hotel to find help.
