If Coach Holly can prevent his team from getting the “swell head” and send his team on the door at Warsaw not scared, but not overconfident, and with an understanding amongst the plai/era that to win the tournament they will have to out-play teams which are just as good and better than they are, then Syracuse has a'chance to, win the tournament. Everything depends on the mental attitude of the boys. > The new schedule of payments for the use of the High School by organisations have been put into effect The Little Theater group will pay 53.00 for rent for the dress rehearsal and 81.00 for janitor service. On the night of the play the group will pay 810.00 rent and 83.00 janitor service. Some think the charges are too high, but they will probably get used to them if all organisations using the building for. money making purposes are treated the same. Buy a membership in the Wawasee Conservation Club. The charge is only 25c and the magazine that you will receive is worth far more than that sum.

I . — j HISTORY OF SYRACUSE » SETTLED IN 1835 | i. . ,— — —— l The following is taken from the history of Syracuse and Lake Wawasee. compiled by George W. Miles, and printed in the Syracuse Journal weekly, in 1909: North Webster had had a Masonic lodge for several years, the 316th one organized in the state. And a few of the meh of our village had become members of it. And then later a lodge had been instituted at Milford, and after that, Milford being nearer to us than North Webster h<»se of our citizens who desired to become members of the order joined that lodge. Os these two lodges at least 11 bf the principal citizens of the town had become members in 1872; John Wayer, S. L. Ketring Preston Miles, David Fry, Adam Ketring, Samuel Akers, Levi Akers, Edward E. Miles, Martin Hillabold, Innes Benner and Daniel Brown. And then, on account of the inconvenience of attending the meetings of the lodge in our two sister villages, it was decided that a lodge should be instituted here. There were not members sufficient to secure a charter but a dispensation was procured, and under it the installing of additional members was begun. The first meeting seems to have been held on July 19, 1872,

continuously since It was instituted, and is likely to continue to be as long as he livee. Old and decript now with failing memory he is hasrdly able to attend to business of the office, but others cheerfully do it for him, and it has come to be a sentiment with the members of the lodge that, on account of his long, faithfill and careful service the office shall remain in his name as long as he lives. Os the other, charter members, Preston Miles, father of the writer and of Edward E.; Adam Ketring, father of S. L.; Martin Hillabold, James Benner, Daniel Brown Joseph Rippey, Dr. Hartshorn, Samuel Shaffer, William F. Bonar and Joel Spangle are dead. John Wayer is a resident of Los Angeles, Cal.; H. N. Callander is president and one of the principal owners of the bank of Lusk, at Lusk, Wyo.; Samuel Bashore, who built ard first operated the saw mill, later and for maqy years, down to the present time, owned and operated by F. M. Ott, moved to lowa some 25 years or more ago, and from that state moved to one of the Dakotas where he died within the Ikst two years, I am informed. Samuel Grssom, I believe, lives somewhere in the west. John Wyland is dead, too I believe. Where Aaron Juday now livea, I cannot tell. Thus are the 24 charter members of the Syracuse Lodge 454 F. and A. M. accounted for. Twelve of them, at least are dead, snd of the 12 remaining, none is under 60 years old, I believe. In the record made by the secretary of the lodge under date of August 8, 1873, I find the following: “Visitors present Frank Jackson and John W. Stetler of Goshen Lodge No. 12." \ I am not a little surprised to find the first one to become a member of the new lodge after a charter was granted to it wau, “Dr.” H. W. Shock who wis elected July 4, 1873 and whom I have had occasion to mention heretofore in this history. For besides being, by courtesy, permitted to call himself “Dr.” because it was thought he had knowledge of medicine sufficient to give a fellow calomel without extracting his teeth, he essayed, at times, in the absence of an ordained pautor, to preach in the pulpit of the Church lof God, of which he was an obstreperous member. And his brother John was an ordained minister of that church, and the leader of the anti-Masonic branch of it, who had no doubt whatever thought that, the devil kept his earthly headquarters in the mysterious and carefully guarded chambers of the different ’ secret lodges. And as the two broth-

era were on good terms and I never heard of them having differences over this question, I strongly sue- { pect that the membership of the doctor, at least as against the minister, was one of the secrets of the order. 1 Dr. Shock, like many other men < of limited knowledge, used to get a • bunch of fanners around him and attempt, by the use of words neither they nor he knew the meaning of, to impress them with his learning and wisdom. Once upon a time, , when I was a school boy and was having some physiology lessons on ( the heart «md f circulation of the blood, I was present in Eli Holloway’s drug store when he was explaining to a half dozen fellows his ( ailment—a trouble with his heart that he expected to shortly cause his death. “The human heart is shaped like ; a clip ” he said, closing his entended hand in illustration. “It is covered, out and inside, with a membrane, but that of it on the outside is called the pericardium, while that on the inside is called the pericarditis. My trouble at present in infiamation of the pericardium. This will gradually extend up over the top of the heart and down inside” (illustrating by pointing to the closed hand) “and then I will have infiamation of the pericarditis, which will cause me to die suddenly.” You may laugh at this, if you please, but I would have you know that Dr. Shock was as well educated in his profession as were many of his contemporaries. Seldom was it that one of them had a diploma from i a medical college, and if he did, he ! possibly bought if from some fake ’ concern for a few dollars. Or if i he got it honestly, in any event, it ( cost him the study of but two short 1 years. For the laws of the state made > no requirements of those who live off the people by professing to cure them of their ills. But this is a diversion as I started out to tell you about the Masonic ■ lodge. In 1875, Johh W. Stetler moved • over here from Benton and became the partner of Joseph A. Kindig in a general store, and changing his membership to the new lodge here ; he shortly became Master of it, and thereafter almost continuously acted in that capacity to the time of his death in 1889. But for his it is potsible that the lodge would have gone out of existence. Its membership r

POOR EYESIGHT L AT 2l?_ B|

TriXfi yootf ckila RVOID EYESTRfIin Ar fjy-wmew tells us that one school child out of every five has defective vision! And that even children with good eyes are often the victims of eyestrain. To pzotect children’s precious sight there are two important things every parent should do: 1. Have their eyes examined regularly by a competent oyorigM specialisL 2. Provide adequate lighting—without glare and shadows, for reading, writing and studying. The new I.E.S. Better Sight lamps are designed exclusively to help save eyes! They are exactly the right height to spread adequate light where it is needed. A special opal glass bowl hides the bulb, difiuses the light, prevents glare. The shade has a white lining that reflects the maximum amrmnt of light—and is open, at the top to aid in general illumination.

vvas small, and for years it had to fight against-a fierce opposition from many members of the churches. But J Mr. Stetler** strong perkonadity held j together a little band of faithful ' ones that kept it alive—among them Uncle David Fry, Levi and Samuel Akers, Joseph Rippey, Michael Nicolai, John M. Ott, Oliver Cromwell, Ed Miles and a few others. With the new life of the town that came in the ’9o’s the lodge began to increase its membership, and its growth has been constant since. It now has a few more than 100 members who are much attached to it, and is in a very prosperous condition. o If it weren’t for our natural feeling of kindness for animals, we’d suggest horse and buggy for the Roosevelt boys.
