This is the first and most important rule Of
health.
You can depend on DR.. A. w. Chase Kid.

They effect prompt and thorough movement

effect the dose does not have to be increased.
BY their enlivening action on the liver they
positively cure biliousness and constipation
Mr.. PHILIP BUCKLE, Gypsum, Kansas,
writes:-"For sixteen years had to use med
icine for constipation and find DR.. A. w.
Chase's Kidney and Liver Pills excellent.
With other pills had to continually increase

The Gubernatorial Outlook,

The next gubernatorial nOmin-
alton is yet a long distance in
the future and it is too early to
predict or to speculate as TO
what the outcome may be or as
to who will be the successful
candidate for the high and hon
orable Office Of governor of the
great state of Michigan. The
matter is not to be settled by
the politicians of the state nor
in convention. but by the people
themselves at the primary. As
yet there are but two aspirantS
who have announced their can
didacy, Lieut.. Governor Patrick
II. Kelley and Justice Robert NJ.
Montgomery of the Michigan su-
preme court. Mr. Kelley has
made an admirable Lieut.. Gov
ernor and is thoroughly familiar
with the state government in all
its details and is man of unim-
peachable integrity and of a
high order of ability land is Van
Buren, county man of whom his
fellow citizens are Justly proud.
Justice Montgomery, likewise
is a man whose record is unim-
peachable and who has filled the
highest judicial Office within the
gift Of the people Of Michigan
with honor to himself and to the
complete satisfaction Of his con
stituents.
Should the people of the state
say to Lieut. Governor Kelley
"well done, come up higher, .
they will make no mistake and
on the other hand should they
promote, if it may be considered
a promotion, Justice Montgom.
cry to the governorship they will
have selected one of the best
men of the state 10 serve them.
The outlook will. doubtless be-
come more definite during the II
months and more that must
elapse before the nomination can
be made.

The Paw Paw banks have de-
cided to take advantage of the
legal Saturday half holiday and
close Saturday afternoons dur
ing the months of July and
August. This is something of
an innovation for Paw Paw, but
the custom is an old one in other
places. 1t is certainly move
in the right direction. While
banking hours are not SO long as
in other branches of business,
the work is strenuous and nerve
racking. a half holiday each
week in any line of business is a
benefit to the employee. He is
better prepared to transact the
daily routine of business by even
"a short respite from the perpleX
tiles and cares of business life.

Knowing that many of our readers
are largely interested in grape culture
and that they nave had more or less
trouble from black rot and other fungi,
as we'll as from the various insects which
attack the grape, we have arranged to
secure for them a copy Of the bulletin,
Diseases and Insects of the Grape"
recently issued by the State Inspector
of Nurseries and Orchards. In addi-
ton to description and remedies for
the black rot, the grape mildew, the
grape berry-moth, the rose-chafer and
the flea beetle are also given attention
10 the bulletin.

NEXT Sunday will be the Clio.
rious Fourth. That will make
practically three holidays this
year. Some will celebrate on
Saturday, some on Sunday while
others will wait until Monday.
In the opinion of The True
Northerner that great event-the
signing of the declaration of in
dependence-co could be common
GRATED in much more becoming
manner, than custom has dicta-
ted for so many years. More
deaths and serious accidents are
caused each 4th of July by the
use of cannon crackers aud other
explosives than occur from al.
most any other cause. And the
worst of it is the innocent are
usually the ones TO suffer. 1t is
never safe for anybody to be in
the same block where fire crack
ers are being fired. 1t wouldn't
be quite so bad if their use
was confined to one day only,
but the modern celebration com
mences at least a week before
the Fourth and continues day and
night until the local supply is
exhausted. The custom really
doesn't mean anything, it is dan
gerous, annoying and in our
opinion should be prohibited by
law.

"PAW PAW DOES THINGS"
"S oov1ss''CHAUTAUQUA

The big Chautauqua week will
soon be here. One week from
next Tuesday. July ID, is the
date. Some of the citizens of
Paw Paw are not enthusing as
much as they might over this
proposition. 1t should and will
be one of the biggest weeks in
the history of. the county, and
every man, woman and child
should buy a season ticket.
Many have not yet subscribed
for ticket, but should do
SO without delay. The event
means much to the welfare of
Paw Paw and should receive the
loyal support of everybody.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1909-07-02

ONE of the most delightful
ways of enjoying the Chautauqua
is to bring tent and camp on
the grounds during the assembly.
Free ground space will be pro-
vided TO all season ticket holders
desiring TO camp. If you have
no tent one will be provided you
for a very reasonable sum. If
you cannot get away from bus
ness long enough to come and
camp you can attend the sessions
and enjoy the entertainments,
while attending to your business
and home duties, and at a cost
so small that it is absolutely in.

TO CHARGE FOR CONCESSIONS

Many applications have been made for
concessions on the chautauqua grounds
or on the streets of the village during
chautauqua week The village council
very generously turned over the matter
of concessions for the week TO Maple
Lake Chautauqua association, and those
who desire to put up refreshment stands,
or serve meals, ice cream, lemonade, pop
corn, etc, either on the grounds or on
the streets, should see r. n. Wakeman,
chairman of concessions committee. at
once Several licenses have been granted
Better apply soon, before all the best
locations are taken.

BENEFIT MONUMENT FUND.

Last night was big night at the
Idle Hour Theatre and tonight should
be record breaker. Miss Conley the
manager of this popular place of amuse-
ment generously donated one half of the
gross receipts for the two evenings to the
soldiers monument fund Specia music
was prepared for the occasion, aud q
double program given. The seating ca
pacity was taxed 10 It's limit last ni hit,

The word "Chautauqua" car.
ries with it various meanings.
To some even it is an unfamiliar
word, while to many it conveys
the idea of popular entertain,
ment only. The Chautauqua
idea is distinctly educational
along broad and extensive lines.
Whatever increases and enriches
mans inrer intellectual and NOR.
al capital is educational. The
Chautauqua gives TO commune
ties the best of present day
thought and culture combined
with recreation and entertain
ment of the highest class, midst

The True Northerner endorses
the suggestion" made by the
Courier last week relative to the
beautiful shaded banks of Maple
lake on West main street. 1t is
delightful spot but could be
made more so, by a little labor
and expense. The ground be-
tween the trees and driveway
should be leveled and seeded and
a few seats aud rustic benches
under the shade of the trees
would add much to the place. 1t
would take but a little money %
make a beautiful and attractive
spot, that would be enjoyed by
the citizens and guests of Paw
Paw aud admired by the numer-
Gus visitors to our charming vii
lage and lake 1t is a propos-
ition that shall receive attention

MEMBERS of the G.. A. II. and
W. h. G. are working night and
day to add TO the soldiers monu-
ment fund. They already have
a substantial fund star ted, and
one half Of the gross receipts of
the Idle Hour Theatre last night
and tonight which has been gen.
erously donated by the manage
ment should add materially to the
amount. Every citizen of the
village should buy ticket. OF
course the amount is small, but
out of every ten cents paid in,
five cents will 90 for this worthy
project. Every little bit helps.

SOME people evidently do not
know which way to turn out Of the
road when an automobile comes
up from behind them and desires
20 pass. This lack of knowledge
causes much annoyance and
serious accidents are narrowly
averted. The rule is always turn
out to the right. whetheryou meet
an auto or one comes up to pass.
Turn to the right. If this rule
is remembered, it will perhaps
alleviate much Of the danger of
passing automobiles. Turn to

HEADS RUBBER TRUST.

J. d. Rockefeller, Jr., Controls Quay
uIo Industry In Mexico.
San Antonio, Tex. Oct. s-Although the
guayule rubber industry OF Mexico is less
than four years old. Il is practically IN
the hands Of a trust, OF which John d.
Rockefeller, jr, Is the head. His own
concern, the Continental Rubber Com
pany, controls the situation by holding
100000 acres Of the best guayule lands
in the state OF Zacatecas as well as
other large stretches near by. A factory
at Grunidora puts the concern in a very
advantageous position. All that is now
needed to make this trust supreme IN the
republic would be, It is rumored, consolI-
dalton with the Hadero interests, which
control practically the balance OF the land
on which the guayule plant could be
profitably grown.
From present indications It would not
seem that rubber will for long time
pass out OF the control OF the trust II
was hoped that the excellent quality OF
rubber derived from the guayule plant
would enter into serious competition with
that Of the rubber tree and cause the
rubber trust OF tie United States to re-
lax its grip on the market.
Since young Rockefeller Is closely allied
with the men commonly referred to as
the rubber trust. the discovery that the
guayule plant makes excellent rubber is
not likely TO be OF great benefit to the
public
