BOXING CONTEST
WAS PULLED OFF
At Allen Bros. Store in Glendale Sat-
urday Night. Matches Interspersed
with Temperance Lectures.

What was pronounced by those present
as one Of the finest exhibitions of the art
of boxing ever witnessed in south west
ern Michigan was pulled off at the Allen
Brothers store in Glendale last Saturday
evening before a large and enthusiastic
audience of approximately $50 people.
The main bout was six round "go"
between young" Dougherty OF Kalama-
zoo and Harry and Judd Wormuth and
was a very "Classy" event, The aud
ience pronounced 1t the best ever. 1t
was preceded by six prelimnaries. The
matches we're interspersed with music
and temperance lectures by Rev. Thomp-
son of Covey Hill church, "Hub" Har-
rington of Holland, Will Wormuth and
others.
These boxing matches that have been
pulled off by the Allen Brothers have
not been of the usual kind, but have
been attended and participated 10 by
the best citizens aud church members Of
Waverly township. From the majority
of votes received for local option from
Waverly the temperance lectures must
have had their influence.
The good people of Waverly have
placed their stamp of approval on the
Allen Brothers and their style of en-
tertainment.

CONGRATULATIONS
County Chairman Offers ConeratuIs-
tons on Great Victory Won at the
Polls Last Monday.

l desire to congratulate the people Of
Van Buren, county on the magnificent
victory won at the polls in behalf OF
morality, Of law and order, ard of good
citizenship. By an increased majority of
almost 20 per cent over the vote OF 1906,
they have again set the seal of their
approval on the local option law and
have emphatically declared that the sa-
loon shall not return to our fair county.
1t was great fight, grandly won. Never
before have the opponents OF the law put
forth so vigorous an effort for its over
throw. They seemed to think victory
was within their grasp, but they mistook
the temper of the people. To those who
so ably assisted me in directing and
managing the campaign. aud especially
to the local committeeman who spared
no effort that would advance the cause,
/ tender my most sincere thanks. The
result OF the battle OF ballots and con-
sciousness OF good work we'll done will
be their ample reward.
.. w. ROWLAND,
County Chairman.

FORTY COUNTIES
IN DRY COLUMN
Ten New Ones Added to List Monday.
Wexford and Oakland Go Back
to the Wet Column.

For many years Van Buren, was the
ouy dry spot on the map, but not so
now. Out of the SO counties IN the state
40 are in the "dry" column, or will be
after May l.
Up until last Monday there were 30
counties in the local option column, and
the returns of that day have added IL
to the list The question was submitted
in 36 counties last Monday. Twenty-six
of this number we're new counties and
the other 10 a resubmission. OF the 26
new counties, IL voted to abolish the
saloons, while IA, eight of which were in
the upper peninsula, voted "wet." or
the 10 which were resubmitted, eight
remain in the "dry" column, while two,
Wexford and Oakland, returned "wet"
majority.
This was the first invasion OF the up
per peninsula, and it still remains in the
wet" column. While the local option
forces were sorry to lose the cou mites of
Oakland and Wexford, it is substantial
victory in the state, and they are looking
forward to state wide prohibition rs the
next move.

Paw Paw poled one of the largest
votes in the history of the township with
the possible exception of the vote of the
removal Of the county seat. There were
775 votes polled, while last year the total
was 645. Political issues were lost sight
of. Neither the republican or democratic
parties had checker, nor did they send
out any rigs. The votes on the local op-
ton question were carefully checked up,
however, and rigs sent for the dein-
quents.
The township votes we're badly silt,
however. There we're 26l straight re-
publican votes cast and 157 straight
democrat. The inspectors did not get
the votes all counted until nearly one
o'clock Tuesday morning The entire
republican ticket was elected with the
exception of highway commissioner. c..
w. Lee, the democratic nominee, was
elected by 43 majority. A. w. Shower
man had the largest majority and was
elected treasurer by 304 votes.
Several ladies came to the polls TO
vote and were disappointed when not
permitted to do SO. The opinion of the
attorney general, as published in the
Hartford Day Spring last week, held
that women ia the township cannot vote
on the granting OF electric franchises.
They can do so in the village, but the
constitution does not grant them that
privilege IN the township.

.LAWTON MAN LOST
BIG ROLL MONEY
Clarence McElheny Re-
lieved of Roll Con-
tanning $3.50.
DETROIT MAN SUSp|C|0NED
Pal Got Away. Sat Behind McEl-
heny From Kazoo to Lawton.

One James Holden, giving his address
as Detroit, is in the county Jail charged
with the crime of larceny. He with a
companion whose whereabouts are at
present unknown are alleged to have
taken roll of bills amounting to $3.50
from the person of Clarence McElheny
while enroute from Kalamazoo to Law
ton in a Michigan Central passenger
coach.
McElheny went to Kalamazoo last
Friday with $3.50 in his possession. On
the way home he took bill from the
roll with which to pay his fare, return
ing the currency to his hip pocket.
Holden and his companion, who occu.
pied seat Just behind McElheny, are
accused of extracting in some manner
the money from his pocket. He did not
discover his loss until about an hour af-
ter reaching home and Immediately sus-
picioned the two men who were seated
behind him and who also alighted from
the train at Lawton. He found the
parties on the street and learned that
they were about to depart on a west
bound train. He endeavored to detain
them, but the younger of the two got
away and escaped.
Holden is a man about 50 years of
age, and the officers are of the opinion
that he is bad crook. Fifty dollars in
currency and two loaded revolvers we're
found on his person. The fact that one
of the two broke away and ran when
McElheny tried to apprehend them
would strengthen the theory that they
were the guilty parties.

to be at its best must mature and ma
ture in cool weather. Thorough and ef-
fective spraying is necessary to the pro
duction of large crop and good quail
ity. A spraying machine TO do good
work must spray up againit the lower
side of the leaves and the stems of the
plants, for there Is where the blight
spores during warm and muggy weather
germinate and grow. The machines
that only spray down on the tops of the
vines will not properly control the blight
and cannot be depended upon. The
bordeaux mixture / use contains 10
pounds of vitrol and IA pounds of stone
lime to the hundred gallons. l begin
spraying when the tops are eight or ten
inches high and spray once in about
every eight days, spraying up until the
vines begin to spread out OF the ground;
after that spraying down on top of the
vines If spraying is properly done, the
potatoes thet were as small as the bulk
of two eggs.
Late potatoes should be planted in
drills, the rows from 30 to 45 inches
apart, the distance between rows de-
pending on the weight of the soil, and
the seed should be planted from II to 10
inches apart in the row. From Is to 20
bushels OF seed should be planted to the
acre.
About eight days after planting, the
field should be narrowed two or three
times with spring tooth drag, the teeth
set from an inch and half to two inches
deep. This cultivation, given Just be-
fore the potatoes come up, will destroy
the hfe of every little weed and is. the
one most necessary cultivation.
The late potato crop in the south half
of the lower peninsula is diminished on
an average at least 20 per cent by blight,
and the yield is often greatly shortened
in the northern counties by the same
cause. Moreover, the quality OF the
potatoes for food is injured. A potato
tops will not die from blight, nor will the
potatoes rot. The tn ers will continue
to grow during the latter part of Sept
cmber and until the severe October
frosts come. The quality OF the stock
will be materially improved and the
quantity greatly increased.
IL the Michigan farmer is to make
money growing potatoes, he must keep
live stock, make and save liberal guam
tity OF manure, plant only 30 or 40 per
cent of the acreage he is now growing
and manure every foot of it. A ton of
good manure will bring from six to ten
bush ss OF potatoes and is worth on the
average at least three dollars and a halt
per ton on that crop, aside from the ben
eft it is to the land after the potatoes
are removed. Plant enough of good
seed, cultivate properly and spray thor
oughly. If he does these things, he will
grow no more bushels OF potatoes than
he raises now, but he will do a great
deal less hard work and make good
deal more money.

MADE A DECIDED HIT.

ALTON Packard, cartoonist and humor-
list, appeared before large audience
at the Congregational church Wednes-
day evening under the auspices of the
Star Lecture Course, and was thor
oughly appreciated. His sketching
was exceptionally good. From start
to finish he kept the intense interest Of
the audience, first in a humorous vein
then in the more instructive vein.
He sketched every class of people
from Uncle Sans vast domains, in
Guiding the typical American girl and
the dukes from across the waters that
are after them.
MI Packard's piano playing and
singing was fully as we'll enjoyed as
his cartoon work. and he was encOred
several times, for his original songs.
Clearly no mistake was made in the
booking OF Packard.
