BACCALAUREATE
SUNDAY ADDRESS
Delivered by E. III. Harvey
TO Large and Appre-
ciative Audience.
ADDRESS WAS SCHOLARLY
Dwelt on Great Heritage of Present
Generation as Compared with the
Past. Music Excellent.

The exercises incident to the closing
of the school year 1910 began with the
baccalaureate address by Rev. e. IL.
Harvey at the M. E. church last Sunday
evening. The church was crowded to
its capacity, and the audience listened
with intense interest to the one of the
finest and most scholarly addresses ever
delivered in Paw raw on similar occas-
ion. Mr.. Harvey is always popular with
Paw Paw audience, and he was at his
best last Sunday evening
The following is brief synopsis OF the
address as The True Northerner recalls it:
Mention was made Of the recent dedi-
cation of the Custer monument at Mon
roe, and Mr.. Harvey, who was a member
of CLsters cavalry brigade, turned the
dedication incident to account by sug-
gesting that the class strive, ia some
measure, to honor their native town as
the Clusters had honored Monroe
lie then pictured the progress of civil
ization from the cradle land the races
10 Asia until the Saxon peoples-mainly
English and Amercan-had developed
their present leadership of the world
Ancient Asia was shown to be the pri-
mary school room of mankind, and later,
Europe served as the university of the
races, with the Saxon element ascendant.
When this course was finished, al d a
more mature and serious phase OF affairs
was at hand the new continent was dis
covered and ready for nelCLy nude
race.
The speaker then portrayed the vast
Anglo-SaXon domain, as it exists on both
sides OF the Atlantic, emphasizing British
and American control of the Pacific.
lie also enlarged upon the wide domain
of the English language, covering an
area of more than 100000 square
miles, and including population approx
lmating 600000,000 souls-the leading
language of the world, more or less used
10 every quarter of the globe.
All this, with whatever else Saxondor
implies, was portrayed as 1.-The heritage
of the new generation
Mr. Harvey then contrasted the past
30 years span of the generation just
finishing its work, with the prospective
half century to come, and wondered il
the new generation would do as we'll
within the allotted time.
In closing, be laid strong emphasis
upon the real cosmic force of civiiza-
tion," the unquestioned and eternal
power of spiritual inspiration IN tue
lives of men.
The address was scholarly and full of
beautiful thoughts. 1t showed the pro-
| found learning and broad educational at
tributes of the speaker The class of 1910,
as they leave high school life for a higher
education, or some, perhaps, for a career
of business activity, cannot help but be
benefited by the noble thoughts of the
speaker.
The music furnished bv Miss Wood
and Miss Cooley, and Messrs. Duane
Mosier and H9rold Spicer is also worthy
of special mention. The quartet selec-
tions were enjoyed, as was also the beau.

FINAL PROGRAMS
Of THE SCHOOL
Opera House Packed TO
Hear Various Programs
of the Grades.
WORK CREDIT TO TEACHERS
Every Pupil Showed Much Thought
and Careful Training for Closing
Exercises of the Year.

The school year 1910 for the Paw Paw
schools has now passed into history
The various exercises of the week have
been held as scheduled, graduates have
received their diplomas, and those in the
grades certificates of promotion. The
book ls closed and all are looking to the
future.
The exercises of the week commenced
Wednesday morning at the opera house.
The day was ideal and fond and prou /
parents and friends all in the best of
humor Nothing appeared to mar the
happiness and enjoyment of the occa
sion. The opera house was taxed as
never before to accommodate all who de-
sired to see and hear the exercises of the
little folks.
The program was opened by chorus
of little first graders, each one noddiug
and smiling hearty welcome to all. The
recitations given by Masters Frank Nash,
Homer Phillips, Kenneth Van Tassell
and Miss Frieda Shaefer were all nicely
delivered and spoken loud enough to be
heard in even the remote corners of the
opera house The different songs as sung
by the little ones were also much enjoyed
Special mention should be made OF
the doll drill executed in perfect time
and precision by l6 little girls from the
kindergarten. The three little grasshop-
pers in their suits of green certainly
made a hit with the audience. The
sketch, "The Old Country Aunt's Visit
to the City, by second and third grade
pupils, was acted in manner that might
make those much older "sit up and take
notice.
The dude" drill by II young gentle.
men from the second primary, fautlessly
attired in dress suits, silk hats and car
rying canes, was one of the best features
of the morning. 10 the years to come
in fancy we can see these same young
men at q Just as good looking and pre-.
else in their movements, but not one
half so "cute
A chorus by the second primary closed
the successful and pleasing exercises, for
which the teachers, Miss Dunning and
Miss Malkuska deserve much credit and
praise.
GRAMMAR SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
The grammar school grades held their
promotional exercises al the opera house
on Wednesday evening. The stage was
beautifully decorated in green foliage
and blossoms OF white, those being the
class colors AS the curtain arose it re-
vealed this fairy bower, in which was
seen % beautiful young Iasses and bright
sturdy American boys.
Music for the evening was furnished
by the high school orchestra. 1t was oI
high class and thoroughly enjoyed by
all. Rev. II. f.. Rossell of the Christian
church opened the exercises with an in
vocation. Miss Ruby Wall welcomed
the audience with finely written anc
we'll delivered salutatory. The class
history was handled by Miss Pauline
Sellick in graceful and masterful man

pletely equipped cars in San Francisco.
Another sale reported is to Robert r.
Steitz of Petaluma, who has taken de-
livery OF a 40 horsepower big Six
Stevens-Duryea touring car.
The latter sale Is interesting mas
much as it shows the trend of the
trade outside of San Francisco. This
with many others reported OF late
shows that the farmer and those who
may be considered as associated with
him have realized that it pays in the
end to buy the best. The number of
high priced cars that have gone to out
of town sections compares favorably
with the sale of the same class of
vehicles in San Francisco.
The old idea prevalent, in the auto
mobile trade that you could pin any
old car on to a farmer" is thing of
the past. In fact. it is shown daily
that the out of town customers are
better versed in automobile construc-
tion than many of the statesmen who
are selling the cars. In fact, many
keep in such close touch with the build
ing of motor cars that they are per-
fectly familiar with the slightest i'm

new HIGH DUTY
ELMORE engine

A. J. Smith, Pacific coast district
manager of the high duty two type
valveless Elmore has just made the
announcement of the 1911 product of
the factory. In speaking of the high
duty engine, Smith said yesterday:
"The designers at the factory have
achieved something that for long
while they have been trying to attain.
That is a high duty engine. In other
words the factory will put out the
coming year a car containing a two
cycle engine of simple design, which
will do away with crank case compress
sion. It will insure a volume of gas
sufficient to entirely fill the conous-
tion chamber and so timed that 1t will
admit gas early or late, absolutely
regular in its impulse under all con-
ditions of full load or no load. 1t
means that this engine is the most
perfectly designed combustion engine
that has been placed on the market.
What is more, this high duty engine
has more efficiency and less consump
tion.
IT think when these cars reach San
Francisco they will be big surprise

CARTERCARS MAKE
A GOOD SHOWING

E. c. Collins of the Cartercar auto
company, who has been enthusiastically
watching the tour of the Gliddenites, is
more than pleased with the result. At
the finish the Cartercar, carrying No.
s, came in ahead, and would have been
a keen contender for the honors had
it not been for an accident.
In the run out of Dallas, Tex, the
driver, in turning a sharp bend in the
road, suddenly came upon a COW. The
cow at the time was going at a lively
clip, and it was either case of hitting
the COW or taking to the ditch. The
driver preferred the latter, but the
move resulted in the breaking of an
axle The crew then put one rear
wheel on a skid and drove the car by
the other wheel ali the way into Law
ton, Okla.
This was slow journey, and they
reached the checking point so late that
the penalization put them out OF the
contest.

Steel TREATMENT
IMPORTANT FACTOR
Builders of Everitt Motor Cars
Go Far TO Perfect Hard
ening Process

1t is probable that there has never
been period of such rapid develop
ment in the metal trades as has oc-
CURED in connection with the auto
mobile industry. says William E. Metz
ser maker of the Everitt 80.
in America the tremendous import
ance Of neat treatment OF steel has
been era sped and the principles in
Nolved therein carried to an ultimate
conclusion. Intelligent heat treatment
is quite as essential as the quality or
steel; 2 commonplace steel may be
given very good physical qualities by
proper heat treatment, and the best OF
steel can be ruined by lack of il. There
must be = thoroughness in the various
operations Of annealing, hardening and
feTnpering. Treatment carried on with
suficient care makes uniformity of
product possible. How necessary tins
is in important drop forgins is obvious
The difference between ordinary ma
terial and the best or material is 4
great one. For example, the elastic
limit Of ordinary steel is 1000 pounds
TO the square inch, with, say, reduc-
tion of area of so per cent. Properly
heated nickel steel viii have an elastic
limit Of two or two and d half times

soft specimens. This having been dis
covered in the laboratory and estab-

cepted by the metallurgical world, re-
verslng previous general belief
Il Q. Harrison, in spes king Of the
Everitt factory, says:
II am much surprised al the neInarl
= bic activity that is shown by the Metz
ger company in building up this busi-
ness. You can ina gine the noise and
din OF this factory; the factory Itself
is working overtime and under pressure
turning out at this time 20 cars day
So FAR this month personally have had

Il wish that You could see the ma
chinery with which this plant is
e1ufpped. Almost every day now en-
sinsors and superintendents of other
factories are shown through their
works. This I take as an indication
that the Everitt is being very seriously
taken not only by the buying public,
but by the manufacturing industry as
q whole. There is no such equipment
in any other factory at this time.
The new equipment OF the Metzger
plant has caused a stir abroad and for
eign engineers are much interested IN
the Everitt, as its type Of construction
is now quite in vogue in Europe Fully
90 per cent of the small European cars
use this construction with its en- bloc
motors and dual ignition. Consequent
