TO HAVE AN ELECT RIG LINE
Indications Point to the Fact That Paw
Paw Will Secure One in the Near
Future.

According to dispatch from Kala-
mazoo, the Michigan United Railways
Company has made overtures for the
purchase of the K. l.. s. & G. 1t is
claimed it is the intention Of the NJ. U
r to make it an electric road, and con
nect with South Bend by building Il
line to Benton Harbor and st. Joe. AS
this rumor appears on an average OF
about once in three months, no great
amount of credence is to be placed on it,.
1t was also stated on good authority
last week that there was movement
on foot to build an electric line between
Kalamazoo and Benton Harbor, via
Paw Paw, and that parties were in Paw
Paw endeavoring to secure the right of
way through this section.
There is no question but what the
time will come when the road will be
built but whether the Fruit Belt Line
will be utilized or new line built is a
question to be determined by future de
velopments.

The potato and apple growers and
buyers are having a large portion of
trouble throughout this section of the
country 10 fact, the potato and apple
industry is practically at a stsndstll,
and the cause OF all this trouble is a
shortage of refrigerator cars on all the
railroads. The supply is so limited and
the demand so great all over the country
that practically no encouragement 70.

the railroad Offices
Travelling Freight Agent Greenbaum
OF the Michigan Central was 10 Paw
Paw last Tuesday, but would make 20
promise of cars at any definite time.
He said that Paw Paw could have cars
as soon as they come into possession of
the Vi. g. road, but farther than that he
would not express himself He said
that 10 Stark refrigerator heater cars
were on the way, however. These cars,
while they are not what is wanted, will
help the growers little, though we un
derStand that they are eli owned by a
company which does it's own buying,

among the buyers.
A large crop OF potatoes has been
raised in this section this year and al
ready between 40 and 80 carloads have
been shipped, but the growers are
anxious to turn off the remainder of the
bumper crop. Several cars OF apples
have also been shipped and they are

birth was a precocious infant and made
people stand up and take notice 1t fed
the widow and orphans, did missionary
work at home and ran lecture course

the auspices OF the Coterie proved a
very great pleasure to those who attend
ed. 1t was probably the best music
Paw Paw has listened to 10 a long time

The members OF the quartette are:
Mrs. Walker, soprano; Miss Hunt, con-
tralto; Mr.. Leckner, tenor; Mr.. Wilson,
baritone; Mrs Mattesou, accompauist.
Each is musician of ability.
The program was OF high order but
not at all heavy, and of great variety,
ranging from simple ballads TO selections
from grand opera. A first hearing the
quartet gave the impression that the
voices were not well balanced, but after
the enthusiastic encore for the second
concerted number. q Bolla fglia DELI

HOW ABOUT THAT COMET?

into Smithereens Next May? Some
Predictions of that Nature.

Many astronomers, learned anu other
wise, have predicted that the effect 2
the sweep of the comets tail when 1t
swings scross the earths orbit next
May will be disastrous, some of tue
more pessimis tic ones even going so far
as to claim that all life on our planet
will be in danger of extinction, owing
to the poisono, gas of which the
tail is composed
In the opinion of Prof C. A. Williams,
instructor of astronomy in Kalamazoo
college, however, the earth has nothing
to fear in this direction, and even il the
old comet does slap US with its tail, the
earth will go on just the same aud
be in no way disturbed by It's rude Wis
itor
According to computation Of Father
Searle of New York, a roted scientist,
the earth will be inside the tail OF the
comet on May Is, of next year Be

make its appearance here about that
date. At that time the head OF the comet
will be about 100000 miles away.
As to the com position OF the comet
definite information cannot be obtaiued.
The scientists consider it likely, how
ever that the head is made up of frag-
ments of solid matter surrounded by
gaseous matter and that bits of it are
constantly being attracted away Ivy

tail. Taken mass for mass, the comet
is not as heavy as air

orape-FruIt and kumauat.

II an orange and a lemon were
married and should have offspring II
would be grapefruit The other day
an old friend in Florida sent me a
grapefruit that weighed seven
pounds. That Is the record. he said.
Grapefruit. we are told. derived its
name from rs fancied resemblance to
the taste OF the grapel II more than
likely was an Usage orange In a wild
state brought down to domestic cul-
tivation, crossed with the orange or
lemon by natures methods. Il is
grown in all tropical countries, and
is now especially fine in Florida and
along the lower California coast. The
acid is better than that OF the lime
for awakening the liver and thinning
the blood.
The Kumquat (cumquat or cum
quot, like the grapefruit. is mis-
understood by many who go into the
market for ripe fruit. Names for
grapefruit better known than that
by which this big lemonsorange is
sold here are pomelos and shaddocks.
The kumquat is exactly like a plum
tomato in size and shape, but has
sort OF sharp acid pulp and a sweet
rind. It came to us from Japan and
China. and is fine for preserving

Learn to Use the Telephone.


"Only about one person in every
ten knows how properly to use the
telephone,' said district manager
of one of the local companies. yes,
sir. I'll stand by my guns on that
assertion; and l think / can prove
my point Nine out of every ten per-
sons talk entirely too loud over the
telephone. They actually shout and
make so much noise that they drown
out all semblance OF clearn5ss. Then
they can't hear, and the first thing
YOU know there is a complaint about
moor connection and faulty service.
The correct way to talk over the tele-
phone Is to talk as you do in ordi'
nary conversation, or even a tribe
lower. People can't seem to realize
that the telephone will carry wills
-per even. No, they must talk loud
enough TO be heard from Tenth and
Chestnut streets to Germantown II
those be the connected points. Just
try yourself. Try tie low, wellmodu'
lated voice. and see If you do not get
infinitely better service out OF your
telephone in the future. "-Philadel-

The Art Of Seeing.

In his Royal Institution lecture Sir
Hubert Won Herkomer incidentally
touched on the point that no two peo-
pie seem to see alike, as illustrated by
the familiar experience that twenty
eye-witnesses Of a street accident will
give twenty widely varying accounts
of its details. We had an instance Of
this recently in the case Of the Tot
tenham outrage, and few failed to
observe the extraordinary fact that,
when the bruce coffin was opened,
two reporters made hopelessly diver
gent statements as TO the beard-the
very thing that was most interesting.

FIRST AID IN FACTORIES.
Up to Date Plants Furnish Hospital
Attendance on the Spot.

II was n common practice among
factory employees not so many years
ago to apply tobacco. cobwebs. shaw
ings or a coat OF shellac to a wound
accidentally received while at work,
These rough and ready lscthods 90
day are replaced in practically every
factory by more or less elaborate
equipment for first aid to the injur-
ed.
To facilitate the treatment OF injured
employees at the plant OF a well
known manufacturing company 10
cal hospital has been established,
equipped with iron hospital beds. on
Grating table and complete set Of
surgical instruments. Dustproof
boxes containing antiseptlc gauze,
absorbent cotton, a cup and pins, as
well as an enamelled pail for use IN
washing wounds, are placed in read
lily accessible places in all parts OF
the works for emergencies.
Occasionally accidents in a factory
are OF such a nature that immediate
attention is necessary. To meet
these cases one plant has installed a
hospital signal system. BY pushing q
button in any part of the shop, says
System, a red light is switched IN
the assembly department, where the
hospital attendant works, and the In
jured employee is taken Immediately
to the hospital, where he Is met by
the attendant. The attendant is
graduate OF the course of first aid to
the injured and is competent to take
care of any simple cases Of flesh
wounds and bruises.
A careful record is kept of all
cases treated. The accidents for the
most part are not all serious, and
the time saved in treating a flesh
wound or breise can be actually cred
tied against the cost of the necessary
equipment.

RlrthdaYs and Health.

For several years have noticed
that in a period of from about three
to two weeks preceding the anniver-
sary OF my birth have had a feeling
OF returning vigor, renewal of vital
ity such as / have not experienced at
any other time OF the year. This
has lasted for from two to eight days,
but has always ceased some days be-
fore the anniversary. Hence 1t has
occurred to me that there may BIO
some connection between the APP
proach of the recurrence OF ones
blrthdate and the maintenance OF
ones health.-London Graphic.

Managers and Plays.

Every time there Is a vigorous pro-
test against indecent plays the pro
ducers and managers, through some
OF their number, cover themselves
with the cloak of public demand II
is an old evasion. II is most con-
venient. And, specifically, 1t Is de-
ceptive. TO be sure, no manager
would continue to offer an indecent
play IL no one went TO see It, the
public has its share in the RESPONSE
bility, for 1t takes both goods and custo-
mers to make a sale. But you cannot
indict a people, whereas you can III
dict an individual or an organization
Bad plays promote bad taste. Inc
promotion OF bad taste adds prohts TO
the producer OF bad plays Thus
there Is established between the pro
ducers and their following what the
doctors call a vicious circle" the
