WILL ADVERTISE
MICH. FRUIT BELT
Will Present ADVANTAGES
to Land Show at Chi
caeo this Fall.

President r. A. Smythe of Benton
Harbor, Secretary l.. j. Lewis of Ban
gor, r. II. Sherwood of Watervliet and
w. G. Wildey of Paw Paw, members of
the executive committee of the Original
Michigan fruit belt association, met in
Hartford, Saturday, for discussion of
matters pertaining to the exhibit to be
made at the land show in Chicago this
fall by Allegan, Van Buren, and Berrien
counties.
With the exposition scarcely two
months away the officers Of the tri-coun-
ty association were enthusiastic in their
prophecies that complete success would
crown their efforts and that the under
taking would prove one OF the most i'm
portant in which the three counties have
ever engaged.
An important feature of the project
in which the officials are at present en-
gagged is the issuing of illustrated and
descriptive matter setting forth the ad-
vantages of the three counties, depicting
not only their agricultural and horticul-
tural interests, but the advantages they
offer to the seeker after an ideal country
home where natural beauty abounds and
where all Of the recreations which con-
tribute to the enjoyment of rural life
are afforded.
Some $4,000 copies of highly illus
trated booklet are now on the press
These will contain elaborate views of
some of the finest orchards which have
contributed to the fame OF the original
Michigan fruit belt, views OF the famous
summer resorts, the prosperous farms
and the industrial enterprises whic h
make for the prosperity and stability of
this section Of the state.
part of the edition will be distrib-
uted in advance OF the show, while the
remainder will be placed in the hands OF
visitors at the booths which contain the
tri-county exhibit. This work is en-
failing considerable expense, but the
funds required for the exhibit are being
raised without difficulty.
All of the business interests OF the
three counties have contributed literally
to the project, and indications are that
all expenses will be provided for when
the exhibit is ready to be thrown open
to the gazs OF land show visitors.-Hart-

D0WAGIAC LOST
TO PAW PAW
CouIdn't Find Paige and Were Only
Allowed to Score TO ObIiee Friend.
Return Games Next Week.

Last Sunday the Paw Paw Independ-
ent base ball club, with the usual bunch
OF fans, journeyed TO our sister town Of
Pottowotamie name. for The purpose of
demonstrating the superiority of our
team, which was done to the tune of 6
to 3. Paige and Killefer were the battery
for Paw Paw with the usual line up for
support Dowagiac's team was composed
largely OF Indiana state and Michigan
Southern League players and the dope
was that it would be a hot game, but at
the end of the 5th inning Paw Paw had
3 scores to Dowagiac's 0, which demon
strated the fact that Paige's delivery
was too delusive for the Round Oak men
to solve. Another score was added in
the seventh, when Sam Kenny went to
Paige and said: 81 have bet that Dowa-
giac would score, for heavens sake let
up" so George kindly tossed them over
and let Sam win.
The features of the game were the
batting of the high school boys, Mather
and Fuller, who mauled out two and
three sackers at will, and the constitu-
tional intirmity of the umpire, who lost
his voice in the first inning and his eve
sight in the last half of the game. We
would recommend that be consult an
eve and throat specialist at once.
A series of games has been arranged
for the big fair week and the team from
the stove town will be on hand to even
up il they can. The management have
issued sweeping challenge to any team
in Southern Michigan, including Benton
Harbor, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and
Battle Creek, in fact, bar none to play
fair week for either state or local cham

The Story Of Victor Berger
First Socialist Congressman

= MILWAUKEE,, Wis. Nov 12-
Victor l.. Berger's powerful will
made his life what he wanted it to
be, in spite of his environment.
The first socialist congressman
in America was born of well-to-do,
middle-class German parents in
Austria in 1860 They gave him a
good college education.
But in spite of his conservative
origin, Victor early developed very
radical ideas and sympathies. His
relatives abhorred his democratic
ideas and made his life miserable
for him.
'All my relatives believed would
be arrested and executed" said
Berger. "and the worst part of it
was that they believed that I
would deserve to be hanged"
Just as young Victor was about
to become embroiled in radical
politics in Europe, his family be-
came poor and emigrated to the
United States. Young Berger be-
came a cowpuncher; he did odd
jobs like mending washboilers. He
learned the metal polisher's trade,
earning as little as IS week, and
never more than $12.
Often he did not have bread to
feed his body or fuel to warm it.
But he had his beloved books--his

NOTED NOVELIST IS
BELIEVED DEMENTEO



LONDON. Nov. 12.-The family
of Count Leo Tolstoi, distraught at
the disappearance of the famous
writer. today organized searching
party. Several individual attempts
were made to find Tolstoi, but, ac-
cording to q Moscow dispatch,
these have been futile. Tolstoi left
home declaring that he intended
spending the remainder of his life
in solitary retirement. A dispatch
to Reuters agency asserts that the
Countess Tolstoi twice attempted
to commit suicide through grief
over her husbands peculiar disap-
pearance on October 10.
Before he disappeared, Tolstoi
left letter to his wife telling OF
his intention to become a rccluse.
q cannot longer continue to live a
life surrounded by luxury he
wrote. "and. like many other old
men. am going to retire from the
world. / contemplate a life OF soli-
tude and ask that you do not seek
my place or sojourn or come to it II
It is discovered. ! beg forgiveness
for any grief l may cause you."
Many believe that the mind of the
aged novelist is unbalanced. Tolstoi
for long time has been racked by
illness. For more than year he
has remained at his home. 70 miles
from st. Petersburg. refusing to see
any but few callers. A great deal
of the time he has been confined to
his bed by illness and II was ru-
mored months ago that his mind
