PARAGRAPHIC BITS ABOUT HOME FOLKS Notes of the Week on the Coming and Going of People You Know. Rev. Wm. Boatman and Miss Lucy Welty spent Tuesday evening in Goshen with friends. Miss Winifred Shannon, who is employed in Elkhart, spent the week end here at home. Mrs. Jane Rothenberger of Elcho, Wis., is here visiting at the J. W. Rothenberger home. Mrs. L. A. Seider’s friend, who had been visiting here a few days, returned to her home in Decatur, Ind. Stephen Tish has returned to Kendallville where he will spend some time transacting business and visiting relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hershberger of Plymouth spent Sunday here visiting at the home of the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. 0. L. Cleveland. Mrs. Jeannette Crow, an old settler formerly of this county, passed away Sunday at her home in Cromwell, at the age of 87 years. She was the wife of Wm. Crow. Mrs. Ida Bowersox returned to her home here Monday after a sojourn of a few months with her son, John Bowersox, at St. Paul, Minn. She reports a very pleasant winter spent there. Miss Virginia Cleveland has come from Bourbon, the a schools there having closed for the year, to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. 0. L. Cleveland, who moved here recently from Bourbon. Editor Preston H. Miles was presented with a new son, Philip i Wesley, at the Elkhart General j hospital Sunday night. The mother and baby are both doing ' nicely. ,Mrs. Emma Strong, Mrs. Max Jenkins and daughters, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Cook and daughter, and Allen and Miss Beryl Strong all of Elkhart, spent Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ward. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Cory attended the commencement exercises of the Cromwell schools ** last Friday night. Two of Mrs. Cory’s sister were in the class, Mrs. Ralph Sloan and Miss Vesta Weeks of Kimmell. Mrs. Chloe J. Ritter was in Syracuse Saturday making arrangements to have a public sale of her household goods in North Webster on Saturday, May 22. Following her sale she will move to Alberta, Canada. There is something about the life in Syracuse that gets under the skin. People who have moved away from here continue to feel kindly toward the old town —proof that the spirit of the place took root. Mrs. Joe Rapp entertained at dinner Thursday evening* Rev.

and Mrs. F. H. Cremean, Miss Lucy Welty, Mrs. L. A. Seider and Rev. Gleiser, formerly of Decatur and now pastor of the Presbyterian church’ al Goshen. A. ! A. Rasor, former county clerk, was here Tuesday attending a director’s meeting of the State Bank. He is arranging to visit ihis parents at Los Angeles, Calif. Mrs. Rasor, daughter Edna and Mrs. Wones will accompany him on the trip. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hinderer and Mr.- and Mrs. D. L. Brown' visited Sunday with the formers’ daughter, Mrs. Otis C. Butt, who has been a patient in the Lutheran hospital at Fort Wayne for the past weeks with heart trouble. They found Mrs. Butt slightly- improved. Perhaps it would be safe by this time to move out the heatting stove that has been doing duty for so many months this year. Older residents tell us we have had a record long and cold winter. Spring may be here and summer may be near; just the &arne, it will be well to begin, thinking about our next winter fuel supply. R. R. Gralf spent Sunday and Monday here shaking hands with his friends. The David Graff family left Syracuse four years' igo and went to Detroit, where Mr. Graff and his father entered the automobile accessory business. They had been Syracuse citizens eight years, and they continue to have a warm spot in their hearts for the old town. Mr. Graff’s trip to Syracuse was purely to visit.Mr. and Mrs. Ira Rothenberger of North Webster visited Friday at the J. W. Rothenberger home. • —4 -o— LAYING NEW CABLES Wormmen began Monday the j laying of more than one-half I mile of underground cable for ihe Syracuse Home Telephone ■ company, the line running from south of the Baltimore & Ohio tracks to a point beyond the Pickwick road. Last week an overhead cable was hung to replace the Lake street lines. A south Main street underground cable line is planned by the company within the near future. ! The company installed several ;hundred feet of cable last suipmer, the lines running in various directions from the central office. These, together with the lines now building and the onesfplanned, will bring the service to a higher point of efficiency, and indicate the progressive policy of the company. Few towns can boast of telephone service to equal ours. o IT'S “MILK ’ COW NOW Hereafter it will be “milk cow” and not “milch cow” —at least so far as the U. S. Department of Agriculture is concerned. This decision marks the termination of a controversy in which etymologists in the department ‘have had not a little interest. Those defending “milch" have pointed to scriptural use and certain of the classics as establishing precedents, while the-opposition has contended

that dairymen, ranchmen, andferm ers in general use “milk” instead of “milch” almost universally. The advocates of “milk” also favored that word because, they contended, it wqs more strictly an English word, while “milch” was more akin to German. Since Americanization of language as well as ideals is an article in every patriot’s creed, it is thought that this last sally of the “milk” defenders helped as much as any to decide the question in iavor. o— PECULIAR CASE An Xray examination disclosed that Magdaline Green, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Green of this city, had thirteen ribs on one side and that the extra rib was giving her trouble. The superfluous stay was removed last Thursday in a South Bend hospital and the patient is rapidly recovering. It is a most peculiar case and baffling to surgeons. The regulation number of ribs is twelve on a side, but an extra one was given to Miss Green. She had been ailing for a long time and her indisposition seemed to be due To the extra rib.—(Ligonier Banner o — DANCE IN OVERALLS It remained for the Leesburg dancing club to take the initiative against old H. C. L. The ladies had planned to surprise their men by attending the dance dressed in bungalow aprons, but the men got wise and came dressed in overall*. Seventeen couples were present. This week the same costumes will be worn.—(Leesburg Journal o ■ — TONGUE TWISTERS Here are a number of amusing “tongue twisters:’’ A glowing gleam growing green.

that time I would write my next mother’s letter from any place in the States But here I am in Milwaukee, doing just what thousands of other young men are doing. Some do not have the privilege, or their mothers have passed away. But those that are fortunate enough to have a mother living shouW consider it a privilege, as well as a duty to write to them on mother’s day. I know, for one, that I appreciate the opportunity I have, and I consider it the greatest privilege to writing to my mother, who is still with us here. I do not know what could be more pleasure than the privilege of once a year spending a day with one’s mother, .or find a quiet place and write her a word of cheer. Yesterday every one was preparing to observe mother’s day and I am sure all mothers, whether living or dead, w r ere made happy by being, remembered, either by a gift of flowers or a j
