SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1922

LOSE THIRD GAME The Syracuse basket ball team journeys to Mishawaka Saturday night where they lost their third game for tiie season. From the stories brought home, it seems that freak shots played a large part in the defeat as Mishawaka made the majority of them. Also, lhe game was played with a Wilson bail which is four ounces heavier than the official ball and the Syracuse boys were unable to gage their shots, most of them falling short of the distance they were supposed to go. Another thing, the referee was a Notre Dflme man and although he was honest, he refereed according to college rules which differ in several particulars from those of the high schools and at first had our boys up in the air. However, thats all in the past and will only make the victory sweeter when Mishawaka comes here on the 27th. | Tomorrow night Syracuse will be visited by the Milford team and a lively contest is expected. Milford has some star players and have been winning the majority of their games this winter. They have been meeting some of the very best teams in these parts and their good record is not due to the inferiority of their opponents. O—FAREWELL SURPRISE PARTY Friends and, neighbors number-1 ing forty-one quietly and peacefully, as you would suppose on such an occasion, entered .the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. J.' Stookey one night last week and gave them a complete surprise, byway of farewell before they leave for Ironton, Ohio, where they wHT make their future home. The crusaders were Mr. and Mrs. Greeley and son and daugh- • ter, Graham Tyler, Edward Rich-' creek, Ward Robison, Mr. and Mrs. George Kreager and grand-j daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Gil-' bert and daughter, Clell Long- ] acre, Mr. and Mrs. Orva Rich- 1 creek and son, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Miller and children, Mrs. Mary Mock and son Kenneth, Mr. Charles Grissom, John Gilbert, Vern Strieby, Mr. and M rs - Merle Line, Miss Louise Sensibaugh, Mr. and Mrs. Merle Mock and; daughter, W, F, Baugher, Clell ; Line, Edward Schlecht, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Cox and son, and Mr. and Mrs, A. E. Coy. All enjoyed a sweet evening having brought candy with them and departed wishing the Stookeys success and prosperity. — — o __ NEW STATE ROADS Eight new roads have been adopted and designated as state roads by the state highway commission recently as follows: Fort Wayne to Auburn; Angola to LaGrange to Goshen, Brazil to Linton, Nashville to Bloomington, Gentryville to Lincoln City to Leayenxvarth, Madison to Scottsburg, West Baden to Shoals, and Petersburg to Washington. The commission approved tentatively roads from Christtney to Troy and form Marion to Wabash. These roads will be added to the state system in the event local communities will co-operate in the matter. The new roads will bring the total mileage of the state highway system to approximately 3,650 miles. o _— BAKE SALE The ladies of the United Brethren church will hold a bake sale in the Osborn window next to the postoffice Saturday, Jan. 21, at 10 o’clock. There will be dressed chickens and a full line of baked goods. Everything prie'ed reasonably.

| GOING THE ROUNDS j No Complaints Lady Calling Dairy—“Helio. Portland Pure Milk and Cream Company? Is this the manager? All right. I want to know, is ydur milk from contented cows?’’ Dairy Manager—“ Why, er, er just a moment, madam —just a moment.'’ And three minutes later. “Madam, I have looked ovfir our bocks carefully and cannot find a single compaint registered from any of our cows, so I feel confident they are all contented.’’ i — (Creamery and Milk Plant] Monthly. A Single Skull Craft j English Paper—“He lived by himself in a lonely old household, from which he paddled himself ashore every morning in a top-hat.”—(Boston Transcript. I o OPERA BY RADIO I Bloomington, Ind., Jan 10.—A novel method of education in music is being introduced week at Indiana university in the form of grand opera by wireless for students in the course in modern opera. Instruments have been installed at the Indiana university wireless station for receiving nightly concerts of the Chicago Grand Opera company, and ad- | vance tests conducted by Dr. ' R. R. Ramsey, professor of Physics, have demonstrated the suitability of using the concerts for class room work in modern 1 opera. Dean B. W. Merrill and John L. Geiger of the School of Music, will interpret the operatic concerts to the class. Regular predit will be given students of the class attending the concerts. Indications are that a mad rush will be made for extra seats in the lecture room by students not members of the class. The i Indiana university station picks ] not only the concerts 'by Mary Garden’s opera company in Chi- ! cago but also wireless sent out from Pittsburg, Newark, N. J., and Oklahoma City. Indiana is the first educational institution, so far as known, to make this use of the wireless. Plans are on foot for a sending set for transmitting concerts and other i interesting programs at Indiana university to wireless stations throughout the state. Q — STRUCK BY AUTO Late last Thursday afternoon Miss Madeline Kern, of Milford, was struck by an automobile driven by W. A. Freeman of South Bend as she was crossing the street with Miss Ruth Hutchinson. She suffered a badly bruised leg but was not much injured otherwise. In trying to miss Miss Hutchinson, Mr. Freeman turned his machine toward the curb and did not succeed in stopping until he crashed into the door of a soft drink parlor lielonging to Joseph Grove. The plate glass windows of the store were broken and the door was torn from its hinges. Mr. Freeman says that he was I driving slowly but became excited when the girls tried to dodge the car. —— ■ ' INDIANA GIVES MOST CORN With 78 car loads of corn thus far contributed by Indiana farmers in response to the appeal of the starving children of Armenia the Hoosier State probably leads the country, according tq Pyqf, G. J. Christie’s agricultural com. mittep. Russell G. East of Shelbyville, state grain director, estimates that the corn gift is now approximately 78,000 bushels. The appeal, he announces, will be continued until all communities have a chance to make grain gifts.

HAS UNIQUE BIBLE Mrs. Amanda Hoke Yeiser of Avilla, is in possession of a German Bible that was published in Germany in the year 1772 and has come down through several generations in an excellent state of preservation. The covering is a hard board finish overlaid with leather and the ends and corners are brass thus the ‘structural makeup of the book was for a long life. The leaves are better material than our modern India paper of today. The volume was for a number of years in the possessing of Dr. Amos Hoke of Detroit. Mich., and placed on exhibition in the public museum. This is a relit- of over a century ago and a prize worth keeping. (Avilla News. o BEVERIDGE. SENATOR, CLUB Formation of a Beveridge-for-Senator club was announced at Indianapolis last Thursday night following a meeting of republicans held in the Marion county criminal court room. Resolutions adopted at the meeting urged Albert J. Beveridge to become a senatorial candidate. Mayor Shank of Indianapolis, one of the speakers at the meeting, declared that Mr. Beveridge is “the only republican who can be elected senator this fall.” o — GASOLINE LAMP EXPLODES Fire threatened the destruction of the Pleasant Hill church near Ligonier during prayer meeting when a gasoline lamp exploded throwing the burning fluid over the audience. The flames were smothered after the building had been damaged and Mrs. Henry Smolensky had been burned about th£ hands and face. Oliver Murphy performed the act of heroism when he grabbed a gasoline can nearly full of blazing liquid and rushing to the door threw it into the yard. o CIRCUS TO WINTER AT PERI It is reported that the shows of Hagenback-Wallace, SellsFloto, Howe’s Great London, and John Robinson companies have been merged into one. Under the new arrangement the concern is capitalized at $2,000,000 and incorporated under the laws of Ohio. It is said that all of them will winter at Peru, Ind., where the Robinson and Howe shows are now. o MORE PEOPLE READING A report of the Syracuse Public Library for 1921 shows a marked increase in the circulation of books over that of the previous year. The number of books loaned in 1920 was 4,109, and that in 1921 was 7,085. The number of readers at th\ tables was 1,748 in 1920 and 3,109 in 1921. .—_—o- — VEN L ED TO DEKALB CO. The case of State vs. Hayes Walker of Wolf Lake has been venued from Noble county to DeKalb county. Walker is charged with attempting to rob the State Bank of Wolf Lake on Nov. 2. He is said to have confessed soon after he was arrested and gave as his reason for crime that he needed the money to Clear a debt against his farm. About Wolf Lake he is well known and until this crime was committed, was respected by his neighbors, He is married and has several children. —_—_e LUTHERAN SUPPER The Lutheran Ladies Aid society will serve a supper in the church basement Tuesday, January 24, from 5:30 to 7:30. Price '35 cents. Every is coridally invited. *

MOVIES OF WAWASEE The Syracuse high school has been fortunate enough to secure through the courtesy of the Conservation Department of Indiana, films made by the fish and game commission picturing the progress made in the propagation of fishes of Indiana. The films will show the various hatcheries of the state in operation and also a number of the beautiful lakes with many activities of great human interest. Representatives of the department were here last summer taking motion pictures of the local hatchery and of Lake Wavasee so it is very probable that these will be included in the show which will be given here. The high school has been showing some very high class pictures this winter at a very low price of admission, so low in fjfct, that financially they have not been very successful. The idea, however. is not to make money but to aid in the education of our children along classical, historical and geographical sbjects. Hence, the price was made as low as possible to insure a good attendance. The films of the Conservation Department will be shown next Thursday the 26th and a very small admission will be charged. Everyone will profit by attending. o CORN RAISING PROFITABLE According to a statement given out by Director G. I. Christie of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Purdue university, the Indiana farmers received 2.05 cents an hour for their own labor and 1.02 cents an hour for the horse labor, for the time they spent in the cornfield last summer, based on the average price of corn or 36 cents per bushel. According to the November crop estimates, the average corn yield in Indiana last year was 36 bushels to the acre and the average price, November 1, was 36 cents. Approved methods of farm cost accounting, on corn growing in Indiana, show that the average cost of corn per acre last year, exclusive of man and horse labor, was $11.58, including rental, seed and other overhead expenses. Official records show an average of 42 hours of man labor and 50 hours of horse labor necessary to an acre of corn figuring the cost of man labor double that of the horse labor. Therefore, $1.38 is left to pay for the labor of the man and the horse for their work of raising- an acre of corn. o SO. BENI) HIGH SUSPENDED The control board of the Indiana High School Athletic association recently suspended the South Bend high school from participation in athletic contests with other members of the association, blasting their hopes for a record team with the state championship as a prize. The action was taken after it was conclusively proven that two members were over the age limit and that a member of the football team lived in Mishawaka at the time he was playing with South Bend. The contention that neither coach nor any other high school official knew of the conditions did not have sufficient weight to save them from suspension although it was shown that in filling out their blanks that the players had made false statements regarding their ages and residence. RECEPTION FOR VETERANS At a meeting presided over by Bishop John Hazen White in the Oliver Theatre in South Bend on Wednesday df last week, plans were laid for a great reception to be given all the war veterans of that city by the citizens. The reception was held at the Studebaker plant last Monday. .
