Shipping Center.
ALSO MANY BASE BALL STARS
Paige the Latest Star to go to Big
League. Billy and Red Kil.e-
fer Already There.

Paw Paw during the last few years has
become more noted perhaps than any
other town Of It's size in the state of
Michigan. In the first place it's peculiar
name, whenever heard or seen in print.
Is sure to attract the notice of persons
who are unaccustoIned to it. An odd or
peculiar name may not be reckoned as
the least of the assets of an aspiring
town. 1t has been suggested by some
people that the name of the place be
changed to Maple City because of the
miles of magnificent naples that adorn
and beautify its streets, and because of
the beautiful lake-Maple Lake-upon
the shores of which the town is situate
and which was created by he enterpris-
ing citizens of the place at an expense
of $4,000. This change of name, how
ever, is not likely to be made. Paw Paw
1t has always been, and Paw Paw with.
out doubt it will ever be.
Paw Paw has also become great fruit
market, being in the very center of the
great grape producing section of South
Western Michigan. Within eight miles
of the place there are thousands OF
acres OF vineyard which, without doubt,
will produce within the present season
not less than 5000 ca rloads of that de-
licious fruit.
There are other things in which the
town exces and among them is the pro.
duction OF base ball players. Wade (Red)
Kilefer and his brother "Billie" are both
graduates of Paw Paw high school and
both former stars in the Paw Paw base
ball team. "Red" went from Paw Paw
to the Michigan Southern league (Kal-
amazoo) thence to the American league
where ne is now playing with the Tigers
as second baseman. "Bllie," recently
member of the Texas league, has lust
been purchased by the Senators of the
American league for the sum OF 81 800.
he Is one of the most promising of the
younger catchers IN the entire country.
George Paige, born, bred and edu-
Gated in Paw Paw, former member of
of the high school base ball team. who
has been playing during the season in
the Southern league, has just been pur-
chased by the New York Giants of the
National league for the sum of S2 800
Paige's position on the diamond is al.
ways in the box. Frank Sanger, also
graduate from Paw Paw, began his ca
reer as ball player in this place and
won fame while a member of the Mlchi-
gan University team. lie is now a men,
Der of the Johnstown team in the Tri-
State league. Like Paige, Sanger's po-
sition is always in the box. 1t is said
that Frank will quit the diamond at the
close of the present season and take up
the profession of the law beiog a grad
uate of the law department of the U. of
M.
Probably not another town 10 the
country OF the size OF this town can
boast of as many stars of the diamond
as Paw Paw. Anc besides these she has
others of more or less local fame and
lot Of promising youngsters in training.

THE FELLOWSHIP CLUB PICNIC

at Thayers Riverside
Wednesday.

The annual picnic of the Fellowship
club was held at E. q. Thayers River
side on the east bank of Maple lake un-
der the evergreen trees, which sifted the
sunshine on the tables. The tables were
loaded to the breaking point with dainty
viands, which were served to daintily
attired ladies, who were the guests of
the club. 1t was an ideal spot, an ideal
day and ideal out about the same brand
of English that Mit. Coy, John Free,
Chase, Thayer and Others did while
serving ice cream, ice tea and ice to ap-
preciative ladies.
1t was to be regretted that the genial

were unable to be there, owing to the
hot wave and pressing engagements, but

Another Striking Example, of the
talue of the Tonic Treatment for
Building Up the Blood

BloodleSSness, or anaemia, is usual
ly betrayed by the pallor of the face,
but, curiously enough, some people
may have the disease and retain a ROSY
complexion.
Shortness of breath and palpitation
OF the heart after the slightest exer-
ton. headaches, general weakness and
disturbed digestion are marked smyp-
toms, but the disease comes gradually
and is liable to be well established
before it is detected. There are many
KINDS OF anaemia, most of them cur
able. When it occurs in young girls

readily cured by DR.. Williams Pink

useful in all forms of the disease.
what this remedy has accomplished

doctors as incurable, tried DIR. Will

matter OF time before 1 would die, as
my condition would lead to consump-

Pills in a paper and decided to try
them as last resort. 1 was then SO
weak that I couldn't walk a block

For all anaenic states, that is, in all
cases of weakness caused by lack OF

great remedy. They make new blood
