Col. Frank Touvelle, rancher living
near Medford, Oregon, is said to have
produced a deep-rooted vine which
brings forth three crops of berries in a
season, which results have been obtain
ed by grating alfalfa roots OH the roots
of the strawberry vine. Alfalfa roots
deeply and produces three to five crops
a year without irrigation. 1t occurred
to him that Strawberries might do the
same if the vines could be made to ex-
tend downward far enough, so as to re-
ceive moisture from the soil throughout
the season.-Scientific American.

Need New Fire Alarm.

The fire of last Saturday
night demonstrated the fact that
Paw Paw needs some kind of a
new fire alarm. When the wa.
ter plant was run by steam, the
fire whistle could be heard all
over the village, whether it was
blown in the night or day time.
The little dinky bell now ia use
cannot be heard more than two
blocks away. and should it be
rung in the night, the probabili-
ties are that not half of the fire.
men would hear it. Even last
Saturday evening when the
alarm sounded during the storm,
some of the tiremen who we're
at their homes did not hear it
at all and there were people liv-
ing within three blocks of the
bell who did not know there was
a fire until after it was all over.
Paw Paw has one of the best
volunteer fire departments in
the state, and the equipment is
excellent, with the exception of
the alarm, and that is absolute
ly useless. The matter should
receive the attention of the viii
lage council at once, and some
kind of an alarm provided that
can be heard more than two
blocks away.

FOR GOOD Of TIE Order

Last week we invited the members of
The True Northerner family to send us
suggestions for making this better pa
per. Since that time we have received
several Communications, some of which
are published below.
The True Northerner feels encouraged
with the ready response the invitation
has met with, and hopes to make this
department permanent weekly feature.
Let US have more suggestions. We
appreciate knock just as much as a
boost When you tell US that we have
a good paper you are telling us some
thing we already know, but the knocks
point out our shortcomings and show
us a better way to make YOUR paper
better.
Communications for this department
will not be noticed unless properly
signed by their authors. The names are
not for publication, necessarily, but we
must know who is responsible for each
suggestion.

Good Work OF Humane Officers.

What change there has been
in the care Of horses and stock
in the last decade. The time
was when a man could own a
team, or yoke Of oxen, keep
them on scanty feed, and literally
work them to death. No one
thought anything of seeing a
horse in the harness that was
actually too poor to stand alone,
and when the poor beast became
too exhausted to get up without
help it was usually left in the
field to die, and be eaten by
swine, or carried off by vultures
of the air. Now all is changed.
The laws are so framed that
beasts of burden are given proper
care and protection, or the in
human owners are given the
punishment they deserve. Every
county now has a humane soci.

Not Too Late Yet.

The Lincoln voters league of
Kalamazoo held their first mass
meeting and picnic on Wednes-
day of this week. Why wouldn't
such an organization be a splen-
did idea for Van Buren, county?
Some time ago The True North.
erner published a list Of several
hundred Lincoln voters and of
course there are many names
that were not sent in. Our OBJ
ject in publishing the list at that
time was the ultimate organiza-
ton of Lincoln voters club or
league. No one as vet has man
ifested enough interest in the
movement to call meeting or
take the preliminary steps for
such league. 1t is not too late
yet, and The True Northerner
sincerely hopes that the matter
may be agitated during the fall
months and that next year the
Van Buren, county Lincoln vOt-
ers league may hold their first
mass meeting anu picnic.

The time is yet within the memory OF
some OF US when Pas Paw was consid-
cred good show town and was visited
by some of the best troops on the road.

high class plays visited our little city,
and were we'll patronized.

were aroused here other high class pro-
auctions could be convinced that from
a purely business point Of view Paw

movement for better art in Paw Paw.

There is also provision made
for the search OF premises where
ii is suspected that contraband
liquors may be concealed and
for the SEIZURE of all such liquors
and for the destruction or other
disposition of liquors that may
be seized by the officer making
such search.

disclosure is made a sufficient
complaint on which magistrate
may issue warrant for the APP

Should a person refuse to make

THE shade trees in Paw Paw
and vicinity are again covered
by huge worm nests. The pre-
valence of these worm pests was
a matter Of comment last year,
and they seem to be as bad if not
worse this season. If something
is not done to exterminate them
the life of our beautiful shade
trees will be endangered. The
nests should be destroyed as
soon as noticed. If the matter
is neglected until the worms are
fully grown, and it don't take
long for them to grow, the
tree will be covered and every
vestige of green eaten. Don t
lose a single opportunity to burn
or destroy a worm nest.

Cut The Weeds.

One thing that is sadly ne
elected in Paw Paw, both in the
village and county, is the de-
structiOn of noxious weeds. In
many places in the country tall
weeds by the roadside and in the
fence corners is a matter of com.
mon talk and the same thing is
noticeable on some streets and
back yards in the village. The
laws. of Michigan are very strict
in regard to the destruction of
nOXious weeds, but they are
seldom if ever enforced. 1t is
the duty of every property own
er to see to it, that no noxious
weeds go to seed on his premises,
in the fence corners or by the
roadside. There is a penalty
prescribed by law for the me-
glect to do this, but it don't seem
as though farmers or residents
of the village would allow weeds
to grow and 60 to seed even in
the absence of such a law. They
give the premises and streets a
slouchy appearance, besides pro-
viding an abundance of seed for
next years crop.
