Extreme cold weather, here aud • elsewhere, always brings about many unusual conditions, but probably the least thought of suffering is that which wildlife experiences. Many individuals, snug in their warm homes, never give a single thought to the wild fowl and beasts of the forests. But not so wth sportsmen. With the ground blanketed in snow and ice, natural food sources are hidden away. Countless numbers have died from starvation and as many more from cold. During the past two years the Department of Conservation has sponsored a state-wide movement for the emergency feeding of all wildlife during winter months, a program which h» met with • widespread approval and support. It has been a factor in increasing the number of song birds as well as birds »and animals of the game species. During recent months conservation clubs have used many thousand pounds of gr. in, screenings and other suitable food to ward off depletion of Indiana’s wildlife through starvation or disease which results from lack of food. Necessarily the most effective emergency feeding has been done in the rural sections where the various forms of wildlife find shelter and where normally they find food. In many communities, conservationists have worked with the farmers in a common effort to provide emergency food supplies. In many communities special plantings were made to prov'de winter feed or a few rows of grain were left standing in the fields at harvest time. Among the wildlife that hsu suf ered to a great degree, sportsmen claim are the birds. Quail particularly have been noted in great numbers, lying stiff and cold on the snow. Pheasants and other birds seem more able to survive. Sportsmen are advocating • closed season next year on quail. This seems an excellent step in conservation, and an organised effort toward that end should be made. PATRIOI ISM? Yesterday, bn the occasion of Lincoln’s birthday anniversary, flags were displayed oh curbs, public buildings and many other prominent places throughout the land. We were somewhat perturbed however, at the apparent carlessness with which some people treat the national emblem. A great many flags have been permitted to become soiled, worn, faded and frayed. We sometimes wonder if others note these things Mid are likewise impressed. On the Court House at Warsaw, the flag that should be kept clean and fine looking at any cost, has become most desolate looking. Dirty, torn, faded, it still waves on, with the wintery gale tearing it to shreds, is there any wonder, people lose faith and ‘become'disc ouraged, when those in high places think so little on these things? In the first place, the flag should be taken in each night and raised again each morning, and in the second place no flag should be displayed at the Warsaw Court House, or anywhere else, that has become ragged and soiled. Better no flag display at all, for such expressions of patriotism are insincere, to say the least .—;O: IT PAYS IO ADVERTISE. | , Last weak in the Journal, there appeared a classified advertisement, offering certain pieces of fuiditure for sale. We observed with a great deal of satisfaction that the advertisement produced results, and 27 persons inquired about the sale. From the advertiser, we have received the following note: Dear Editor: After trying one ad in your Syracuse Journal we have sold out—we haven’t -a bed to sleep on, or a stove to cook on, or a Heatrola to keep warm by. If it weren't for the kindness of the purchasers of all our equipment including rowboat, we'd be on the floor—only they let us keep on using it until ready to leave town. We wish to urge all our friends to use.this same medicine for their “for sale ills'*—ads in the Syracuse Journal. Harry L. Porter.

I DO YOU I REMEMBER— Syracuse Journal, Feb. It, 191 t The lake road case was lost to the petitioners. This was at that time known the Pickwick road, and is now called the ahortcut or the W. E. Long road. Dr. Rohrig, who is well known to our people, purchesed of S. L Ketering the Greene drug stock and has taken possession. By the decision of Judge F. E. Bowser of the Kosciusko circuit court, the complainants in the case of Joseph P. Moore and others against Burdelle Weaver, came into undisputed possession of the 160 acre farm which was in contention. Mr*. Georgiana Miller left this morning for Gary, where her husband is employed. — O—■ Things have come to this: A diligent working man manages to save up SIOO end sets up a peanut and popcorn stand.

CITIZENS CAN HELP j STOCK LOCAL LAKE Department of Conservation Accepting Applii ill ions- for Bass and Bluegills to Increase Supply. Persons interested in obtaining ’ game fish from the state hatcheries to stock lakes or streams in their community, can obtain application blanks by addressing the Division of Fish and Game, Department of Conservation, State Library, Indianapolis, Indiana. Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner, states that a number of applications have already been received, and more are arriving daily. They are being considered ix» the order in which they arrive. There has been some confusion in the minds of various individuals regarding this plan of stocking streams and lakes. Some persons believe that only organized conservation groups or sportsmen’s associations may apply, but this is a mistaken idea. Any citizen who desires to aid in this constructive work, Simmons explains, may send an application. Expect Huge Demand. Hundreds of applications for special plantings of game fish were filled by the st.tte hatcheries during the .past year and an increased demand is anticipated for 1936. The state ■ hatcheries will propagate large and I smallmouth bass, rock bass, bluegills and redeared sunfish this year for planting in lakes and streams. In recent months the demand for rock bass has grown materially with the <e*ult that the propagation of this popular game fish is to be increased. ] The Division of Fish and Game will have in operation this year for th* first time a number of hatchery ponds constructed on various state properties. These with the increased facilities at the regular hatcheries are expected to increase the production of game fish. In addition the Division of Fwh and Game te again contracting with local ernyyrvatinn clubs for the operation of hatchery to propagate game &h to be used in stocking lakes and streams. ■

| On Lake Wawasee | Along Lake Wawasee this past week, there w’as little outdoor activity. Road plows were kept busy trying to keep the highway open, and in some spots, particularly dong intersecting highways, there were drifts that reached a depth of ten feet. Most dwellers stayed indoors, waited patiently for mails that arrived several hours behind time, listened to the radio, and did such other things as were possible during the unusual siege of snow, rain and ice. Dwight Much has been working hard on his boats. He is quite optomistic as to the coming vacation season, and will soon have, all his boats repainted, repaired and generally reconditioned. Lester Lidner of Goshen, braved the inclement weather Friday to do a little ice fishing, but did not stay out long, and caught nothing. A number of people along the lake have had a chance to repair their fishing tackle, and when the weather warms, there sould be a rush to- the water, by the anglers. Mr. and Mrs. Jay Elliott and Mrs. Onnie Connor of Bedford spent Sunday with Mr and Mrs. Roy Brown. Temperatures along the lake changed rapidly daring the past week, and varied from a maximum of 32 degrees above zero to a minimum of 10 below zero, Sunday morning. HI ,!■< ’ Some of the Lake residents state they have already had inquiries regarding the rental of cottages for the summer season.

Library Notes By ALICE MANN. The following new books have been added to the library shelves: ‘ The Real Abyssinia” by Colonel C. E. Rey. Colonel Rey is a recognized authority on Abyssinia and he knows the country as few men do. During his eventful ten years there he had unusual facilities for sudyng the counry and its peoples which enables him to write a book of absorbing interest,, especially at the noment when Abyssinia is so much before the world. This volume gives an account of a iittle known country, its people and their customs, from the social, economical and geographic points of view; its resources and possibilities md its extraordinary history as a ritherto unconquered nation. The Abyssinia terrian from a military point of view in also discussed. “Ghosts I Have Talked With,” by Henry C. McComas. Dr. McComas has had a wide and thrilling experience with spirits, tappings, levitaions, ectoplasm, and the whole range of mediumistic spiritualism. Herein he tells what he found out. (t is a fascinating narrative, and by no means a prosaic and solemn academic pronouncement. The subject is one of perennial >nd undying interest to millions, nearly everyone of whom has had some weird and unaccountable personal experience such as Dr. McComas tells of herein. ' “Facing Two Way,” by Shidzue Ishimoto. The story Baromss Ishinoto tells is very human and personal. It is lull of humor, vivid description and understanding. She can smile at a picture of herself doing Swedish exercises in a silk kimono before the Empress, who dressed like Queen Victoria, sat smoking a gold pipe. Her life, through childhood, marriage and motherhood, is that of one who has seen the painful contrast of ancient and modern in the life of people, and who has fought for the human and intelligent modern. “Salamina,” by Rockwell Kent Kent’s new book is a true, but romantic, story of his adventures in the peaceful, incredible, and little known country of North Greenland. It is, in fact, the story of how a man fell in love with a new world, j Kent discovered Greenland a few : years ago, not so many years ago es I the Norsemen, but in time to realize what a marvelous land it is and not only to visit i there but to settle down, build himself a house, and spend several winters at the tiny settlement, named* Igdlorsauit. Probably his best paintings and writings have been done there; for he found it an ideal place to work. The setting was amazingly beautiful. The natives beewne his close friends and welcomed him, unreservedly, into the community life. He drove his own dog team, danced through the unending nights, quarreled like the rest —with the trader. He knew every intimate detail of the daily round, sed-hunting, promenading the beach, watching for ship* on the homen and salmon-fishing. A* a result “Salamina,” his housekeeper, for whom the book was named, is his longest and richest work. Kent liked this place. His enthusiasm for it is on every page. “Ordinary Difficulties of Everyday People" by Dr. John R. Oliver.’ The title of this volume is almost sufficient to describe it. One of the wisest men of oar time- a priest, physician, novelist, and scholar—has set down his mature reflections on the problems that confront each individual. Mrs. Edna V. Hess,, who has been a most efficient niember of the library board for thirteen years has resigned. Mrs. Ruth Rapp has been appointed by the trustee, to fill the vacancy. ■ - r It is said there are more than 50 taxes levied on a loaf of bread from the time the grain is planted until on Ulic 1 hFo wonder it takes the dough to make bread.

On The Hill By UNCLE LEW. Some Cold Days. ? You may go in the stores,' on the street corners, or where you will, and you hear the calamity howl, “It is so cold. We never before had such cold weather.” Those who think it is cold should have been shivering b?ck in the winter of 191 i and 1918. December 9th, 1917 came in howling with the mercury 14 below zero, and it continued to stay below the entire day. Henry Juday on Solomon’s Creek and Mrs. Edward \etring were buried on The 10th the temperature was 14 below zero and again remained near that point all day The maximum temperature on the eleventh was 8 below. On the 12th it was five below, while on the 13th it arose one point. The temperature dropped continually the following daysu ntiK on the 17th the thermometer registered 22 below zero. The days in the remainder of December were somewhat moderated in comparison to the previous days in the month, hovering one or two degrees above zero, until the last day of the year when the temperature again dropped to fT below aero. The Rev. W. R. Deeter of Milford, was buried December 30th at the Salem Cemetery. The year 1918 started in «ith a temperature of •10 above zero. All day on January first it snowed and continued to do so on into the night until six inches of snow lay on the level. The ice on the lake was at this time 10 inches thick. On January 3rd the mercury dropped to 15 below from which point it gradual- / arose until it stood at 20 above .. the 7th. Dr. Cliff Hoy was home on a visit from the military camp. The temperature was above zero on the days following until on the eleventh when a wind came from the east followed by a snow storm which lasted for about three days, driving the temperature down to 2436 below zero. This was a genuine blizzard. The wagon roads were drifted shut and the B. & 0. trains were all tied up for the day. No automobiles were running. The 13th came in with the wind still in the south west and a temperature of 10 below zero. Even with the sun shining the day was very cold. The B.

& O. trains were still tied up on the 13th, but on the 14th a passenger train pulled into town, at 11 a. m. This was the first train since January 12th at 4 a. m. The farmers ■were by this time coming in from all directions cutting through the drifts as they came. George Sargent was the first to drive into town with a group of snow shovelers from the vicinity of Hex school. Between the 15th and the end of January the temperature ranged from zero tOIS below zero. February arrived with the temperature below zero a few points and it was still below on Ground Hog Day. The B. & O. Railroad put up ice which measured 22 inches thick. However, fishermen claim the ice on s

the-Big Lake was 28 inches thick. Temperature continued to remain 10-15 below zero until the 21st when it arose to 10 degrees below. This was the last sub-zero reading for , the winter. The records show we had many cold winters back in the seventies and eighties. One winter during that period we had 100 days of sleighing. o .
