The Hartford Day Spring got
funny last week and took another
whack at Paw Paw as follows:
"The village council of Paw
Paw is getting ready to pass an
ordinance prohibiting bicycle
riding on the sidewalks, accord
ing to the True Northerner.
Most villages passed 'em tif-
teen years ago, when the bicycle
craze was on. But a fifteen year
limit is not so bad, and we are
pleased to note this toward move
on Paw Paws part. If it only
continues to come toward by
leaps and bounds, the county
seat town still has an excellent
opportunity to catch the band
wagon of progression. Ho for
Paw Paw.
From the same issue we clip
the following:
Several neighboring villages
have designated May l as "clean
up" day when they will put Oh
their tidiest airs. Hartford
might proftably emulate their
example. And Hartford has a
citizen or two who should include
a bath in the activities Of the
occasion. Names are super1u-
GUS"
Paw Paw may not be as swift
as Hartford on the bicycle Ordin-
ance but our citizens are accus
toned to the bath at least on
every "clean up day. Never
in the history of Paw Paw, has
it been necessary for the Press
to call anybody's attention to the
necessity Of taking bath.

ANNUAL TAX SALES TUESDAY.
scription Sold. Large Sum Re-
allied From the Sales.

The annual tax sales were held at the
office of the county treasurer last Tues
day. Every description offered was sold,
omething which has seldom, if ever,
occurred before. There was good deal
of competition in the bidding. Usually
when bid is made the bidder gets the
entire interest in the premises, but this
year more than half the descriptions
were sold for fractional undivided part,
some of them as low as an undivided
one fourth. Que sale in Paw Paw, Of
farm land, was made for the sum Of
$3.50 IA, and another in the city of South
Haven for S64l.6S. The result of the
sales was to place a much larger sum in
the treasury than is usual on such
occasions.

The constitutional Revlslon.

The Northerner has had but
little to say so far concerning
the work of the constitutional
convention. Inasmuch as the
revision will be submitted to the
electors of the state at the next
November election for adoption
or rejection, it is not out Of place
for us to give our readers our
views on that important subject.
While the convention provided
under the law calling it into be-
ing the publication and distribu-
ton Of about $50, 600 copies OF

ton of the people of this state,

ARIZONA GIRL
IN A PRISON
IN MEXICO

A party of American tourists were
doing Juarez Tuesday and who visited
the Mexican Jail, attempted to inter
eede in behalf of the American girl,
Vivian Rosal, and If possible secure
her release from prison. The girl, who
is serving a fourteen months sentence
for being implicated in robbery, told
the women she was innocent and was
the victim of circumstances.
A lieutenant of the Arizona rangers,
who was in FL Pason on business, also
became interested in the girl, having
discovered that her brother was work
ing as a cowboy on his ranch. He re-
ported the matter to the American con-
sui in Juarez, informing him that she
was of good family and that her broth
er and mother were respectable, well
to do people of Arizona. There is moth
ing that can be done by the consul,
as she was regularly tried and convict
ed of the charge and is now serving out
