FOR LAND SHOW
Local Committee Appoint
h edito Have Charge of
Collecting Exhibits.
FRUIT TO Be BIG FEATURE
Choice Fruits Now Being Preserved
in Special Jars. Show will Spread
Name of Famous Fruit Belt.

If the activity of those interested in
Paw Paw is any criterion, the counties
of Allegan, Berrien and Van Buren, will
make magnificent showing at the
Iand show 10 Chicago this fall.
w. G. Wildey, member of the execu-
tive committee, has appointed the vari-
Gus committees aud all along the line
people are taking an unusual interest in
the arrangements for the show. The sue
cess of the last year and the fact that
some of the northern counties OF the
state have been reaping immense bene-
fits from the advei tising received at that
time, has stimulated local parties to
make great effort this year.
Mr.. Wildey has appointed the follow
ing committees who will have charge of
the collections as follows: Grasses, b. T..
Warner; vegetables, Harry Lurkins;
Grains, Harry Wilson; Dairy Products
r. r. Allen; Fruits, w. G. Wildey.
1t is expected that those who can will
prepare exhibits along the lines above
indicated and bring or send to the COM
mittee having the matter in charge.
OF course the show will not be held un-
til next fall, but it is necessary to pre-
pare the Individual exhibits in season,
and preserve until that time. There
should be a splendid showing of fruits
especially. OF course nearly every one
who has something nice in the fruit line
will be willing to donate the same, but
to those who cannot afford to do this,
1T will be purchased the same as for any
other purpose. Mr.. Wlldey will attend
to the preserving of fruits, if the same
is brought to him in good condition,
He has special jars prepared for that
purpose. Take your choice fruits of the
different varieties to Mr.. Wildey, to as
sist in making an exhibit that will do
credit to the county.
No one should neglect this opportu-
nifty to assist in spreading the name and
fame of this locality. In order to do
this it is necessary bat the various ex-
hbits are prepared in seasou.

WILL INSPECT
STATE DIARIES
State Food Department Takes Steps
to Insure Pure Milk During the
Months of July and August.

If you are milk man, and a youth
with turned-up trousers, pompadour
hair, a nifty felt hat and mouth that s
been twisted out of shape yelling "Rah!
Rah! stops you on the street and de-
mands samples of the lacteal fluid in
your cans, don't whip up the horse and
run over him, for he represents the state
dairy and food department, and he is
backed by the machinery of the common
wealth of Michigan from the attorney
general down to the national guard.
The state food department has decided
that it must make a desperate effort
this year if it wishes to cope in any
with the fearful death rate among in
fants during the months of July and
August. 1t has therefore selected SIX
teen of the most advanced students from
the Michigan Agricultural college, sta
toned them in various cities throughout
the state where the milk needs the most
attention, and arming them with the
proper equipment has instructed them
to take samples daily, analyze it and de-
termine whether it Is fit for che little
ones to drink or not. Where milk shows
below grade, the students will follow
up their Investigations by visiting the
dairy of the owner and will make sug-
gestious concerning the proper care of
the stock and the regulation Of the
dairy itself.
1t is believed that the experiment will
be a complete success. The students
have had actual experience in the work
of caring for stock, in testing milk, and
10 following out the cause for the pres
ence of impurities. Their term of serv-
ice lasts two months.

DISASTROUS FIRE At
SOUTH HAVEN MONDAY

South Haven visitors on the Fourth
we're given a spectacular exhibition not
scheduled on the program.
The Newcome and johnson buildings
on Center street caught fire and we're
reduced to ashes, together with nearly
all of their contents The fire depart
ment made valiant fight against the
spread OF the flames, and are entitled to
much credit. They kept the blaze,
which threatened the entire city, from
spreading beyond these buildings. The
loss is estimated at $4,000, and is only
partially insured. The origin OF the
fire is unknown.

SHUMWAY WOULD
MAKE. A CHANGE
In Selection of Local Health Officers.
Thinks They Should be Appointed
by State Board.

IF it can possibly be DONE | mean TO
interest myself in seeing that the legis-
lature places the power of appointing
local health officers in the hands of the
state board" So says Dr. +. w. Shum
way, secretary of the state board of
health, and it is evident that the doctor
is very much in earnest in his remarks.
Politics play part in the appoint.
ment of health officers in the various
cities of the state without exception, -
said the physician, land the result is
that the services rendered is by no
means what it might be "
"If / can do so, | mean to make it a
part of my work to see that, sooner or
later, this is taken out Of the hands of
politicians The state board of health
should have the power to appoint health
officers, just as other state boards have
the power TO appoint their deputies.
Then local politics would cut Lo figure
in the choice 1t would be the mar not
his record as party worker, and the
result would be that our cities would be
under more careful supervision and, as a
natural consequence, the death rate
would be lower"
Ii the opportunity presents itself the
doctor will probably take up the matter
at the next session of the legislature,
and that If he can secure any favorable
backing at all big effort will be made
to incorporate the plan into a measure
which can be passed in order to give the
board control before another spring
election is held and the annual appoint
ment of health officers is made again.

Consistent Feeders Present.

The old "west of town crowd" who
have for years made it practice to pic

Thayer's Lakeside grounds and ate,

PAW PAW WINS
TWO MORE GAMES
Took the Third from Hartford on
the Fourth, s to 4.

Paw Paw has added two more games
to its string of victories during the past
week. On Friday last the strong Bangor
team came, and were defeated by the
decisive score OF TO /. Again on the
Fourth Hartford was victim for the
third time this season. Score to 4.
Bangor played good consistent game,
but Mather was in the box for Paw Paw,
and Bangor was helpless 10 the piuches,
while Paw Paw hit when hits mea ut
runs. Mather pitched one of the bes
games of bis career and demonstrated
that ne is one Of the best little pitchers
iu the country when his arm is in
condition.
Decker who has not been in the game
for two years on account of an injury
received in the hurdle races at Dowagiac,
played first While he did not show his
old time form at the bat. he played the
position 10 good style, and will be a
valuable addition to the team when he
gets his eye on the ball
The team played a splendid game,
which should have been witnessed by a
much larger crowd Paw Paw people are
slow in waking up to the fact that we
again have base ball team that merits
patronage

MAY KILL FIGHT
GAME IN ENGLAND
Great Space Given by British
Press to Jeff Johnson
Fight the Cause.

LONDON July 26-It is many years
since the kill-sports of England have
made any attempt to interfere with the
progress or conduct of boxing. One of
the reasons for the non-interference, II
not the best is that the game is always
heralded as a purely English one, and as
it is almost the exclusive joy of the
masses the agitators have refrained from
offering any opposition to it. But of late
years there is an indication that boxing
will again come under the ban of the re-
formers, and if they take. it into their
minds to put an end to it it will be pri-
marty due to the great space given by
the British press to all the details . the

ices ensued, but there was seldom a
rally of any length. Mclaughlin sue
ceeded in taking Larned's serve from
him in the fifth game, and was enabled
to make the contest one set also
In the third set Larned placed with
great skill and returned his opponent s
serve as hard as it was sent. This
annoyed the western player, who, find
ing that he could not keep Larned out
of the court, strove to place, which he
did with more or less success. but not
with the. skill he displayed in former
matches. Conditions may have had a
little to do with it, for Mclaughlin 10
used to plenty of sunlight and hard
courts. In this third set there was little

thunderstorm.
Owing to the rain. it was not until

FIELDER JONES TO

Is TO BECOME PART
OWNER OF CLUB
Financial Report Shows $50. 900 De-
felt and Change Is Necessary.
Johnson Working for Deal.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 26,-F'ielder
Jones, former leader of the champion
White Sox, is slated as next manager of
the Maps
This was the report which lifted Cleve-
land fans to the seventh heaven of JOY
today. The announcement that deal is
pending whereby one of the present own
ers of the club will retire allowing Jones
to come to the city as part owner and
general overseer, spread like wildfire
For two or three weeks President john
son has been in almost constant consul
tatiOn with the Cleveland club owners.
One afternoon he would be in earnest
heart-to-heart association with President
kilfoyl, the next afternoon in no less
Iious conference with Vice President
Somers.
Appealed to for hint of what, at
this mid-season time. all these visits to
Cleveland meant, President johnson said
to a reporter:
Never mind my boy | can't tell you
now. But you'll have worthwhile
story in a day or two.
And that night the report was given
out, presume bly, at President JohnsonS
direction and by his authority, that Field
Jones was coming back to the Ameri-
big teams.
Now it is no secret, it has not been
for months, that one of the Cleveland
club owners had had about enough of
strife and worry and that If he can
retire from the game without any great
financial loss he will not be averse to
doing so. So, too, it is common knOwl-
edge in American League circles that the
consensus of opinion is that pennant
winning club for Cleveland would mean
fortunes for several teams in Ban john
sons organization.
1t is with remarkable secrecy that Ban
johnson and the Cleveland club officials
are investing all their movements
these July days. 1t is common report
that the Maps owners are $4,000 be-
hind on the season, $4,000 behind in
receipts over the bare outlay for salaries
and expenses, not to mention the inter-
est on the Cleveland clubs new three

Cubs have the reputation of being the
most scientific team in either league,
while the reputation of quitting under
strain still hangs to the Athlet-
les. though the present team resembles
but little the one which went down be-
fore the Giants in 1868. Though perhaps
no longer as good combination as it
was several years ago. the Cubs still are
good pitchers, great catchers and a well
playing, good hitting lot Of material.
For the past several seasons the fate
of the teams in the world series has
depended largely upon it's catchers, and
in this respect the Athletics would be
Tigers in their games with the Cubs.
King and Archer are far better than
anything that Connie Mack can pro-
duce, and when one stops to consider
ponds upon the strategy used behind
the bat, the advantage that team
with a high-cla catcher has is plain.
There is no doubt that the return Of
Killing to the Cubs fold has had much
to do with the teams success this year.
Granting that many Of the stars OF the
team give indications of going back,
yet King stepped in just in time
to bolster matters up. His knowledge
Of the game and the fact that he under
stands every man playing before him
is of great value to the team. So II the
Cubs win, Killing Will have to be given
a lot of credit for the victory, for 1t
was during the one year that he was
absent that the team failed to land on
top.
The claim that the cork-center ball
has increased the hitting is not borne
out by the figures. which show that
there is little or no difference over last
year. There are just about the same
number of 800 hitters. for it is hard
to figure why ball which is mostly
lobsided should furnish better object
for the batsmen than good round and
solid sphere.

LENNY BEATS LEWIS.
Baltimore Boy, Despite His Boils,
Wins From Washingtonian.

BALTIMORE, Md, July :6-The box
ing bouts at Oriole Base Ball Park last
night attracted shirt waist crowd which
nearly filled the spacious grandstand.
A strong, cool breeze blew across the ball
field and made life worth living.
Joe Barrett managed the siv-round bat
ties, in which no decisions were rendered
There were no slow fights, and nearly
every one was hard fought.
While there was no one Set-to named as
the star affair, main interest centered in
the one in which Kid Lenny of Balti-
more and Danny Lewis of Washington
contested. 1t went the limit. Lenny had
his right arm bandaged, as he is suffering
from boils. He also had boil on his
neck He outclassed the Washing tonia n
boxer and virtually beat him with his
left hand.
Lewis did the forcing, but Lenny was
far too clever for him. Lenny knocked
Lewis down early in the first round.
