WILL FURNISH
TROUT EXHIBIT
Glen Springs Trout Hatch
cry Gains Prominence.
Finest in Country.
WILL SEN0 BIG EXHIBIT
Game Exhibition in Chicago.
Special Fish Car to be Sent.

One of the least known of Paw Paws
industries but not by any means the
least important is that conducted by the
Glen Springs Trout company, consisting
of the Messrs. Bassett of this village p
The company has just received an or
der for furnishing the brook trout fol-
the International Fish, Forest and
Game exhibition to be held in the city
of Chicago, from Feb l9 to March 8
1910. The trout furnished by the com.
pany will be used to represent this spec
les of the fish as groGn IN the United
States, and no better selection could
have been made by the managers of this
exhibit to be displayed at the worlds ex
hibition.
The compapy's fish are hatched and
grown 10 & hatchery equal to the best 10
the state and which has no superior in
the entIre country, for the cultivation OF
this variety Of fish. The fish are bred
In spring water, clear pure and cold, OF
which there is a copious supply, the
springs furnishing nearly one half of the
water in the east branch of the Paw
Paw river. There are sixteen hSh ponds
though which this water flow, each filled
with trout which are graded according
to size, about 100000 in number. These
fish are marketed when they attain a
size of about one fourth Of pound each,
and readily bring sixty cents pound
The principal market is Chicago, al
though some are shipped to Detroit
ard other places.
The hatchery is located in the town
ship of Antwerp about four miles frouI
Paw Paw and is we'll worth the time re-
quired for visit. The company is now
shipping trout every month in the year
and also supplies the state hatchery and
other institutions with large Quantities oi
spawn. The International fish car will
be sent to Paw Paw about the 18th oi

HELD INSTITUTE ON WHEELS
Commissioners Hung held Unique
Institute Last Week. Prof. ID. w.
Waldo las Instructor.

An ain nstitute on wheels is one OF the
latest methods for the instruction OF
rural school teachers. Commissioners
Hungerford conducted one last year for
the northern tier of townships, and last
week the "insttute on wheels" held full
sway in the southern portion of the
comfy. The commissioner accompanied
bv Prof. ID. w. Waldo, president OF the
Western State Normal of Kalamazoo,
started from Lawton last Wednesday,
made a tour OF the rural schools in Por-
ter and Decatur, and held an enthusi-
astic meeting at Decatur IN the evening.
Thursday they took in the schools in
Hamilton, Keeler and Hartford, and
closed with meeting at Lawrence in
the evening. Friday visits were paid to
the schools OF Arlington aud Bangor,
with the evening meeting at Bangor.
Saturday the party was joined by Miss
Ida Densmore, director Of the training
school IN the Western Normal. aud a
grand wind up" was held at Bangor.
Teachers and patrons were notified in
advance Of the coming of the instructors
and enthusiastic meetings were held all
along the line. In all, 10 rural schools
we're visited, and 10 nearly every instance
many school officers and patrons were
present at the appointed time.
The "institute on wheels is conduct
ed under the direction Of the Superin-
tended of P6tlic Instruction, and the
expense paid out OF the county institute
fund. Much good results from such d
visit to the rural as well as the village
schools, and the "institute on wheels
will, in the future, probably play an im
portart part iu the instruction Of teach
ers and school officers.

TRIBUTE TO BILLIE KILLEFER
No Young PLAYER Showed 20 Better
Advantage in the Big League.
What Evans Says of Him.

Billy EvaDs the most popular umpire
in the American League staff, is also p
writer of some note. In his "story" oI
last Sunday in the Detroit Tribune, he
pays Billie Killefer des rived compli-
ment and also tells OF the unfortunate
accident in which Billie had his collar
bone broken. Following is that portion
OF the "writeup" which refers to the
Paw Paw boy:
"Of all the young players who broke
into the two big leagues for a time late
last year, none showed TO better advan-
tage than Catcher Killefer of the St.
Louis Americans. | happened to work
back the first game the Texas league
recruit caught in the big league, rs we'll
as quite a few others, and he looked
like fancy pick up for the Browns
That Killefer has the spirit and the
nerve that makes great players was
proved by very unfortunate acci-
dent that happened during the last Sc
ries of the year at New York.
In the fourth inning Of the game Kill
lefer was struck on the collar bone on
the left side by foul tip. The ball
was fast one, and hit the youngster
with terrific force. i felt certain that
the collar bone had been broken, and so
informed Kilefer, telling him that he
had better not take any chance and re-
tire He refused to listen, however, and
insisted on catching, claiming that he
was all right.
The inning was quite long session,
and twice KIlefer was compelled to
make throws to second in an effort to
catch runners stealing and each time he
was successful. At the close of the in
aing he went to the bench, sat down
and practically tainted away. A doctor
was summoned. An examination re-
vealed badly broken collar bone. The
youngster had caught an entire inning
suffering greatly and had thrown out
two base runners. It's just such nerve
that makes great play ers.".

poultry raisers during the past few days

poets for large exhibit. Poultry rails
ing has grown more extensive during
the past two years than ever before in
this section and scarcely a farmer ia

hens and they are selecting the best
birds to breed from, too. Prize birds
from Iowa. Wisconsin, Illinois and 9TH
er states have been imported to father
the fiocks of local poultry raisers and
the result has been some handsome
birds, many of them legitimate candi-
dates for blue ribbons at any poultry
show
The Carpenter and Hamblin building
will be first class place for the exhib-
it and will accommodate good sized
exhibit. The exhibi tof the Pathological
society is expected to be large, many
fruit growers having saved specimens of
premium apples and other fruits for the
exhibit. Maple Grove growers In par

other localities will furnish their quota
to add to the display showing just what
the fruit country can do under favora-
BILE conditions

PAW PAW HUNTERS HOME.l

Some of the Paw Faw hunters are
home from their northern trip. Jake
Walker came last week Friday, and A.
b. Showermsn and Frank Blake Sunday.
The balance Of the party returned IL
time to eat Thanksgiving dinner at
home. The boys had delightful trip
although the hunting where they were
located was not as good rs in former
years. The lack of snow early in the
season and the denseuess OF the swamps
was a serious handicap to the successful
hunting Of deer. They secured enough
however so that all were supplied with
venison.

"Blocky" SowIe is sporting a pair OF
hand painted eyes as result of a foot
ball game last Saturday between the
Western State Normal of Kalamazoo
