The well known American humorist, the late Will Rogers is famous for his expression, “I only know what I see in the papers.” . . there is truth in that expression. Ths<best informed persons, the most thrifty and the most progressive “know what they see in the papers.” Your newspaper brings you not only the latest news, but information in the way of advertisements from your merchants that will save you money. We cannot urge too strongly that you buy carefully and shop thoroughly. When starting on a shopping tour for any article, first read your local paper, study the advertisements, and patronize those progressive merchants and business people who advertise. They are the builders of your community. They depend upon your trade tor their existence. The progress and growth of your town, (’epends upon your loyal ity to your business men.

DEATH ON THE HIGHWAY. The. Travelers Insurance Company hrn issued a book entitled “Live and Let Live.” It deals, through stalls-; tics and graphic illustrations, with the traffic accident record in 1935, when 36,100 lives were destroyed by automobiles. It would be a gieat i thing for the cause of safely if every citizen could read the book- ; let. meditate upon it.’’and act upon the lessons is gives and implies. What caused serious accidents last year? As in the past, excessive speed was the undertaker’s best friend, accounting for 31 per cent I of all accidents in which persons > were killed and injured. A heavy i foot on the accelerator smooths the i path to the morgue. Next came driving on the wrong j side, of the road, the cause of 17 per cent of the accidents. “Keep to the right” seems to be a laugh t• 1 many drivers. Cars not having the right of way j caused 15 per cent of the accidents, j Their drivers saved a second or two at the expense of life and heal h. Fourteen per cent of the accidents occurred when cars drove off the I roadway. Many causes may enter j into this type of accident—and I drunken driving, which seems to Ire I on the increase, is among them. A substantial portion of motorists must ; be taught 0 , no matter h< w roughly, ! thrrt alcohol and gasoline make a ' poor mixture. Reckless driving caused 13 per i cent of the accidents, with the re-1 maining 10 per cent laid to miscellaneous causes. Think over this list. How often have you been guilty of one or more of the violations listed? Sure, you got away with it last time but remember that next time y« u may no’ be so lucky. •L 1 <> THE CONCEIT REMOVER It is now= announce:! that the Union Pswific is planning a $ 5 >,oo' recreation lodge on the north rim of the Grand Canyon of the Colotado. It is important that such sites be made available so that people can see more of the wonders of nature in their own country. As human beings, we are apt to become more or has corcei ed. We think we are pie ty stmrt. We construct big buildings, bridges, dams and monster ships, and they are great accomplishn enta. ' But it is a good thing to get a look at some handiwork of nature to realize how ii sig nibcant we are when it comes to rta'ly maHng a Sent on the earth’s surface. Such in object lesson prevents us from becoming too self satisfied and tends to keep our minds on the het that there are greater forces at work then political partes, industrial organise, ions, kings, queens, armies and na.iea. You could d op the Empire State building, the bigged battleship or the new San Francisco B y Br dge into the Grand Canyon, and you would have to take a pair of binecuhrs to find them. As you stand on the rim of the Canyon it one of i s principal scenic poin s, it is 13 miles across and a mile deep The highest-powered rifle would .’t even shoot far enough to drop a bul et in the river.

IN THE INTEREST OF THE FARMER Does mass purchasing and dis- j tributing of foods work to the ad- j vantage of the producers of the nation? Recent stat'siics indicate that the farmer reaps a rich harvest when large-scale methods are applied to merchandising. A survey of 12,500 chain grocerystores—representing 25 per cent of the entire industry --shows that fruit and vegetable ssles came to 15.81 per cent of total sales in,1933. Applying this ratio to all chain grocery and combination stores, it means that fruit and vegetable sties through the chains aggregated almost $350, <WO,OOO. And this does not take into account the sales of the independent stores which have banded toge.her in large buying groups, and which operate largely on the chain-store principle. These stores, as well as the chains,, have made noteworthy success in “pushing” the products of the farm. Big merchandising systems, chain or independent, are extremely progressive in developing better sales and display methods. They aren’t satisfied to simply let products sit on shelves w-here the customer may find them if he looks hard enough—they bring them out where they cannot help but meet the ranging eye of the buyer. To keep the customer informed on what to buy, they make wide use of newspaper advertising the best of all mediums for stimulating sales. The result is lower prices to the consumer and a wider, more stable and more profitable market for the producer. REMEMBER Syracuse Journal March 17, 191* Capt.

“The Hurricane” by Charles Nordoff and James N. Hall, is a modern story of one of the stir’ll islands of the Low Archipelago, th't sprawling group of dots on the map of the Pacific, that spieitds over a thousand miles from Tahiti and Pitcairn. The population consisted of 153 Polynesians and four Europ ears. Monsieur and Madame de Latage, the stern French Administrator and his wife, Father Paul, the tenderhearted priest, and Doctor Keisaint, he medical officer. Capta n Nagle, he English .slipper whose trading schooner was their only link with the 'utside world, was in occasional visitor. The serenity of this island p&ririise is shattered by the return of a native son, Terangi, an escaped convict. In the hue and cry the white men and the natives are brought into subtle opposition. The ssue is decided not by man, but by nature, for there sweeps down upon the island a storm, overpowering, inhuman, majestic—a hurricane which tests the strength and temperament of these different races to the breaking point.

i ON THE HILL |

The Old Hotel The Lake House wan built by Jacob Rentfrow, on the North East corner of Huntington and Main Street, in the summer of 1853. The first landlord was Pieston Miles, the father of George W. Miles. Preston Miles died in life, and after his death his widow managed the Lake House for many years. Later he Kelley House was erected on the hill, at which time the Lake House v. s moved to the foot of Front Street where it was converted into a dwellng by George Cliver. George Oliver was a section foreman on the Baltimore and Ohio, and wm transferred to Cromwell sometime soon Tier he purchased the Lake House. When Oliver moved from S}racuse, <ie sold the Lake House to Buchholz and Neff,• who la'er sold it to Charles .Vilcox. J. D. Lind bought the buildng from Wilcox, and remodeled it into a double lake front cottage. The Lake House etood lengthwise i >n Main Street. The main portion of he building was 18 ft. by 36 ft., and was a two story structure. The lisa- loom fronted on Huntington and

Main Street, behind which was the dining room and kitchen. There was also a wood house, into which the writer threw more than one cord of wood. The Lake House is now owned by Dr. Garrett Latham who is at thet present improving it. No one now living remembers when the old Wagon and Smith Shop was built on the hill The material in this building was a barn frame, and the material was of the finest of black walnut and popular lumber. Eighty years ago the writers father offered to give away walnut and popular trees, four feet across the stump, that would make four and five, twelve foot logs that were free of knots and limbs. No one seemed to want them so he reduced them to ashes. Several years later walnut, popular and ash were in the market for about what it was worth to make the logs and haul them to the mill. Every one agrees that this old Shop was built at least seventy-five years qgo by Zebadee Weidner, who was a wheel right and wood worker in this same building every since the oldest resident can remember.
