COMMUNITY SALE TO BE JAN.3I-FEB.I Merchants Advertising Bargains in This Week’s Journal. Because this week's issue of the Journal contains the advertisements of Syracuse merchants for the history making Community Sale, Friday and Saturday, it has been necessary to omit publication of the History of Syracuse by George Miles. But this will be resumed next week. This history-making project is set for Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. In addition to businessmen selling their merchandise at attractive, reduced rates. they have •arranged for a Farmers’ Exchange to be held, free of charge to anyone, in the Henry Sloan building next to the postoffice Fred Self is to be in charge and farmers are urged to bring in anything which they care to trade, exchange or sell, to dispose of it on these two days. The building will be heated. If the Farmers’ Exchange develops . rea. interest this week, it is hoped ths. it can be continued, on sort of an enlarged Bake Sale idea where people bring what they wish to dispose of. but instead of cash being paid for it, others who at bake sales »• are customers, can trade them something else, or look it over and even be permitted to pay cash if the own er will accept that. The Journal this week contains advertisements from the business men of this town, each one having listed some of the tempting bargains in his store. It is urged that everyone read, take of these purchases, obtain tickets at the time of purchase, and be on hnd for The Drawing (which is not a picture).

Thermometers showed 12 below xero last Thursday night, managed to come up to only 8 below Sunday night, ana 7 below Monday night. With the mercury showing it was getting loose from that low point where it was stuck, people became encouraged this week, thinking that though the ground has been covered with snow since Dec. 19, a little more wont hurt, if the temperature will be higher. But this morning it wu from 4 to 10 below xero again. CHICKENS STOLEN. With temperature below the xero mark, someone - stole Allan Hogmeyer’s 16 chickens, sometime Saturday night.

fairminded. It seems to us you should have given the other fellow an even break at least. Never was there more noise than when one of the Warsaw players was attempting a foul shot. It is needless to point out that this is quite disconcerting to any one trying to concentrate on a difficult shot. Such a policy will never foster a friendly spirit between the schools of your county. You are not altogether to blame for your conduct. We saw a number of schools helping you in this sort of rooting or cheering. It seems to us that the losers showed the best type of sportsmanship. Theoretically they should have been the souring element. Actually they were very ra. tional end congenial towards your team. They should be highly praised for the way they conducted and restrained themselves during the crucial moments of the game. Hoping for a change in your policy we remain Respectfully your, Two Commentators.. Tourney Notes 1 On the opening day of the tournaIment, one of the Warsaw papers | announced that the Syracuse team needed a fitting nickname (as the (Warsaw players are called The Tigers) and said that paper intended to name the Syracuse players “Muskrats". Now a muskrat is an animal caught in a trap, for iJi valuable hide. But it takes more than a Tiger to skin one. There was much talk of “officials ‘ ■ trying to give the tournament to ; Warsaw," in the way the games ! were refereed. The following will show what a clean same Warsaw played, and how unjust the criticism is. In the games Warsaw played, the Tigers had only 62 chances at free throws on fouls called on their opponents, Silver Like, Burket, •Leesburg and Syracuse. While the combined number of free throw chances all these teams had, m games against Warsaw, was 38. ! In shooting of free throw opportunities, during the tournament, Milford made 45 attempts, and scored 31 for a 71 per cent average. Syracuse had 46 attempts, shot 28 for 61 per cent; Warsaw had the 62 chanees and scored 23, for 37 per cent. During the mn>. ney against ers took only 27 shots WM®* B**** 8 **** and scored 11 of .there for kh age of 40.8 per cent. During the last half Bitner had at b'asket arfd sdore«Ltve?’SyraTuse had 7 chances at free throws and stored 3. When W’arsaw lost the final game, the Warsaw fans crowded over the floor, rushing to the doors, “to go home mad’’ and prevent anyone seeing the desired cup be presented to the Syracuse players. But oh, ye sports of Warsaw, where there is » paper which deplores lack of sportsmanship everywhere else but there - Syracuse did receive that cup. Warsaw fans must have thought our players had all just been married and were starting on a honeymoon, as our men claim everytime they got beneath the north basket, in the last half of the game againnst Warsaw, and tried to shoot towards the basket some of the fans threw rice in their faces. The Warsaw paper which criticised such poor display of sportsmanship by all but Warsaw during the tourney, and hoped it would never happen again, evidentally oiei looked the fact they were Wai saw fans who threw coqfetti all over the floor and players. Clkgpool fans sent a letter to that paper telling it what they thought of the way Warsaw played and that, Syracuse had won the game fairly,' in the opinion of the rest of the eaunty. The sum of Sl.m 40 was taken in at the tournamefit. Expenses were 8275.06, leaving |1, 750.34 to be divided equally ansong all the schools of the county, for their athletic funds. What Warsaw business men got out of the Tourney has not yet been compiled. WEATHER CAUSES LOSS | After the two sub-xero days and ’nights last week.

59 VETERANS HERE TO RECEIVE BONUS There Were 112 Veterans From Here In World War but Others Have Moved Away from Vicinity. Since the passing of the Veterans’ bonus bill, over President Roosevelt’s veto, Dr. C. R. Hoy, service officer of the local American Legion Post, has been figuring on the number of men who are elegible to receive the bonus. His latest tabulation is that there are approximately 59 men in this community who will receive the bonus. The list of men who were in the army, from this community, was 112, but others have moved away. Officers <" the Wawasee Post of the American Legion believe that many veterans of the community will not ccsh the baby bonds on June 15th, the day on which they may be cashed, but will keep them as they are considered a good investment paying 3 per cent interest. Some of the veterans who will cash the bonds have already signified their intentions as to how they will spend the money which they will receive. Some intend to buy a piece of land, others to put the money into business, others will use the money to pay debts. Wawasee Post No. 223 will assist any veteran of the World War who is eligible, to secure his adjusted compensation according to O. P. Davis, adjutant of the post, and Dr. Hoy, service officer. Since the payment of the adjusted compensation with baby bonds became the law of the land, Monday, many veterans have asked these officers for application blanks. However, only a few of these had been received in Syracuse for distribution this morning. | But according to instructions already received, an applicant must furnish certificates or “pink slips” if he has received a loon on his certificate, and his discharge papers. Application blanls for payment of the bonus with baby bonds may be secured from any service organization, service officer. Veterans’ Administraton Faculty of Postmaster. Applications may be executed by a Justice of the Peace, Notary Public, Postmaster, Veteran Admin-iatrsl-uu Facility or officer. As to neguUability of the baby fa pajinent of the bonvs bonds are net negotiable ano - -only 4»e cached by. veteians receiving them.

SYRACUSE IS WINNER OF TOURNAMENT Defeated Beaver Dam, Mentone, Milford and Warsaw Before a shouting, howling crowd that filled the armory in Warsaw, the Syracuse High school basketball team won its fifth county tournament, Saturday night, by defeating, the highly touted Warsaw team 25 to 22. The winning of the tournament came as a surprise to many,, especially come of the sports writers of but some of the *nost partisan Warsaw fans must have felt a qualm of impending disaster Saturday afternoon, when they saw Syracuse overcome a tremendous lead which Milford had run up, and win the semi-final game 31 to 29 in the last moments of play. I; Also some of the wise fans shook their heads over the showing that Warsaw made when they won semifinal against Leesburg in the afternoon. Warsaw won 32 to 24 but Warsaw had something taken out of them by Leesburg, who ba.tled them all over the floor. The best team won the tournament. The final gameWnight have been posted as Warsaw vs the County, by the attitude of spectators, but the drive and fight of the well- - coached Syracuse team enabled it to conquer such tough teams au Beaver Dam, 39 to 28; Mentone, 27 to 20; and Milford 31 to 29. Syracuse had an offensive which scored b.skets, they won the Milford game on free ' throws scored; and their xone to zone defense worr.ed their opponents throughout the tournament. Warsaw, on the other hand, had no opposition in th* tournament until they played Leesburg Saturday afternoon. Before they had -won from Silver Lake, 43 to, 18; and from Burket 40 to 11. ’ Throughout the tournament the Syracuse team as a whole played a good brand, of bail but it seemed as if in arose KA St. i Bill Milford g-mn-ww arid in the Warsaw 5 game, Bitner, Stucky and Coy played s‘ellar roles. But for sheer, consistent playing throughout the series, Doll’s work was outstanding. Warsaw-Syracuse Game. » Syracuse got the tip off, Saturday night, and Coy made t'he first score of the game, the second basket which he scored during the series. Parker of Warsaw tied the score 2-2. Stucky came through with anolher basket and Parker tied it again for Warsaw, inaking it 4. Bitner sank one, and Bodkin of Warsaw tied it at 6 all, with two free-throws on a foul called on Bitner. Stucky made another basket ending the first quarter 8 to 6. Beck shot the first field goal in the second period, but Dobbin of Warsaw retaliated with one for that side. Stucky scored* then Mosier of Warsaw shot one, making the score Syracuse 12, Warsaw 10. On a foul on Stucky, Ranking made a free throw, but Bitner shot a free throw (or Syracuse before the half ended, making the score at the end of the half, Syracuse 13, W’arsaw 11. On the tip off play in the third quarter, Bitner dribbled through Warsaw’s defense and scored. Dobbins scored for Warsaw but Bitner went through two times more, scoring both times. Warsaw took time out to consider ways and means. Mosier scored a basket, and Dobbins missed two free throws and the third quarter ended, Syracuse 19, Warsaw 15. Beck made the first score of the final period of the tournament, when he shot,a free throw. Bitner scored a basket, the lead now being 22 to 15. Bodkins shot a free throw; but Bitner increased it to 24 to 16 with another basket. Beck’ scored a free ■ throw chance and Bodkins shot a basket from a point immediately beneath it; making it 25 to 18. At this point, Warsaw became desperate and made a final drive. Mosier scored, and Bodkins scored, and the game ended Syracuse 25, Wixsaw 22. In remarking about the game Ister Coach Holly said it was not the highly rated Parker, No. 10, Warsaw player whom they feared, but Bodkins, No. 1, and he was kept down by one Mr. Doll. Syracuse-Milford. Milford lead in the scoring during the semi-final game in the afternoon. , It was the hardest fought game of the tourney, as Syracuse was at the small end of 18 to 10 score at the end of the first half. With three minutes to play, the Syracuse boys had gcored until they haj tied Milford at 28. Stucky broke the tie by scoring a free throw. The bojs passed the ball around until there was an opportunity to shoot it to Stucky beneath the basket. As he tried tb‘ shoot, he was fouled by Phend apd Stucky scored both free throws?? With the gun about to crack, Estep scored » free throw for Milford, and Syracuse won, 31 to 29. Throvghout this game Dewart of Milford was poison to Syracuse players beneath the basket.
