Published every Thursday, at Syracuse, Indiana. $2.00 a Year Phones; Office, 4--Residence, 904 Entered as second-class matter on May 4th. 1908, at the postoffice at Syracuse, Indiana, under the Act of Congress of March 3rd, 1879. F •* Mv \ Thursday, August 21, 1919 We apologize for an oversight that occured in our office three years ago, made serious through its .long stand* ing. At that time we devised our envelope corner, incorporating therein the industrial activities of Syracuse for the purpose of advertising the town with every piece of mail that left our office. By oversight we omitted mention of the Syracuse Flour Mills. . | The importance’of the milling industry to Syracuse is considerable—in fact, it is the one industry that gave the town its inception in 1837, when Ward and Crosson operated a small water-power mill. For more than eighty years the flour mill has been the means of bringing people into the community; it has helped to increase the value of our farms, thus attracting farmers from other localities; it has helped make Syracuse a good trading center. So closely is the history of the industry interwoven with the history of the town that the two can not be separated. O _. —Q— — I The lug fish that was captured two weeks ago in Lake Wawasee will hot only justify all the boasts (regarding the lake that have been made by our people, but it must also prove a source of great) satisfaction to a certain few of our veteran fishermen who on occasion have claimed they saw a monster-fish. Somehow or other, stories about fish seem to have away of getting themselves disbelieved. For the past z three or four generations at intervals some fisherman has declared on his honor that he saw a mammoth fish in Lake Wawasee. Everybody has always known that there are big fish in Lake Wawasee; but when the story-teller would get to the point when he described the size of the monster fish he saw, then he would get the laugh. Now these big-

fish story-tellers can say, “I told you so!” Truthfully the poet said: Truth crushed to earth shall rise again. o —o Cost of living will probably be reduced after all the publicity it has been receiving during the past week. During the war we adjusted ourselves to what we thought was the inevitable outcome of disrupted relations between supply and demand. Now, however, we are told that with the demand considerably lessened there is even a greater supply of many staple foodstuffs than last year; but still prices continue soaring. Prices will soar higher and higher—the limit to be determined only when the consuming public can no longer buv. Public opinion can determine the limit by refusing to ''buy profiteered foods. One of the best ways the government can serve the public is to issue its contemplated list of prices that should he paid. With this list in hand the marketer will be enabled to refuse profiteered articles. . - ——o—. —.—o NEWS OF LEESBURGA nine pound son was born Saturday morning to Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Plummer.

"Teaching,” said a well-known superintendent of schools, the other day, “although seldom thought of as such by the general public is as important a profession as that of any doctor or lawyer.” It is only the well trained

teacher, however, who stands high in the professional world and can demand a large salary. The day is here when an applicant for superintendency of schools or principalship must be a college graduate to do the work, to do justice to those under his or her direction and to hold the resnect of subordinates. The standard is going un. Are you, as a teacher, rising to the standard? Are you considering getting out of the great mass of teachers and preparing vourself for the high place that you could fill if you had the training? Tri-State Normal College at
