j. M. Clapp offers for sale. 1G0 acres OF
Minnesota land at a bargain. This land is
situated about five miles from Appleton
Swift county, Minnesota, and eighty miles
this side of Aberdeen. Dakota. Mr.. Clapp
purchased it year ago, as it was very
choice piece of land, and paid four dollars
per acre for breaking and backsetting it.
There is spring and swift running brook
on one corner with water sufficient for power
to grind feed. Not foot of waste land ex-
cept the brook. which is the most desirable
part of it. This is considered to be as hand
some quarter section of land as there is in
Minnesota. John L. Clapp of Paw Paw
knows the farm and can give any desired in
formation. 1t is all ready for a crop and
will be sold for S12 per acre, on easy terms,
part down and per cent. on the balance, or
all on time if secured on Michigan property.
The first crop should pay for the land to-
gether with all expense. There is barn on
the place, put up last year at cost of S75

WHOLE NUMBER 1912.

AT the last meeting of the Paw Paw Fire
Department, the subject of better fire alarm
was informally discussed. The prevailing
opinion seemed to DO that We ought TO have
an alarm placed at the intersection of Main
and kalamazoo streets with wires attached
TO an electric bell in the residence of each of
the officers of the department.. This could
he done at comparatively small expense
and would afford means of instantaneous
communication OF the news of "A fire to all
those whose duty il is TO superintend the
work of extinguishing confsgration. Such
an alarm, together with an engine house near
the central part of the village, and a team
owned by the corporation in charge of a
man whose duty it should be to sleep at the
engine house, would greatly increase the eff
cheney of the department and reduce the dan
ger TO apprehended from destructive fires to
minimum. A little money applied in this
direction would be judiciously expended.
Mrs. Emery is very confident that, short
time before she discovered the fire in Carroll's
boot and shoe store, she heard some one in the
store splitting or breaking up kindling wood,
and that she heard such person leave by the
back door. What could have been the occasion
of the building being set on fire, or what
enemy, either of the owner of the building
or of the stock, could have desired to do either
of them 80 grievons an injury, is a mystery.
1t doesn't seem possible that any one would
have the hardihood, not only to cause such
wanton destruction of property, but to en-
danger the lives of parties who wore occupy
ing that and adjoining buildings. If the
fire was incendiary, of which, were it not
for what Mrs. Emery is confident she heard,
there would be no suspicion, the insurance
companies would willingly pay liberal re-
ward for the arrest and conviction of the
criminal. 1t is credibly reported that they
would pay the sum $500 for such purpose.
The meeting at Grange Hall last Monday
evening, to consider the propriety of holding
farmers institute in Paw Paw in the near
future, voted to hold one on Wednesday and
Thursday, the oath and 25th of the present
month. The various committees were ap-
pointed and the meeting adjourned for one
week, at which time tie committee on pro
gramme will make a report, which will be-
published in the several papers of the county
next week. Every one interested in making
the institute success is invited to be present
