LARGE DIVORCE =
CALENDAR AHEAD
Thirty Out of 6S Cases are
for Dissolution of Bonds
of Matrimony.
ONE CRIMINAL CASE LISTED
Court Opens Monday. Jury Comes
Week Later. Nineteen Jury Cases
on Civil Calendar.

The circuit court for the county Of
Van Buren, will convene next Monday.
The jury are summoned to appear the
following Monday and the first week will
be devoted TO the various motions and
the disposition of chancery matters. The
calendar for this term contains total Of
6S cases, divided as follows:
Criminal, one; issues of fact, jury, 10;
issues of fact non-jury, 8; chancery, first
class, 81, chancery, fourth class, l.
The calendar is unusual in two re-
spects, first in the fact that it contains
but one criminal case, and second for
the large number of divorce cases, or
the total Of 6S cases, 30 are bills filed
for divorce. Every one of the cases
listed in the chancery fourth class,
which are the contested chancery cases,
are bills for divorce. The other 10 are
listed in the chancery first class, or cases
where no contest will be made OF the
30 cases the wife asks for the decree in
II, and in the other l3 the husband is
the aggrieved party.
While the jury will not have much to
do in a criminal way, they Will be kept
busy for some time if all the contested
civil cases are disposed Of. 1t is probable
that many of these cases will be contin.
ued over the term, but with total of 10
jury cases on the civil calendar there is
prospect of plenty of work ahead.

Next week Thursday, May 30, is the day
we honor the memory of those who sac.
rificed their lives tnat the Union might
live. 1t is to be hoped that every citizen
will join with the remnant OF that great
army in paying tribute to the memory
OF their comrades. So far as possible
business places should close, at least
during the afternoon ceremonies.
As special mark of respect and
honor, the bells of the village will toll
for five minutes at the noon hour, dur
ing which time it is requested that busi-
ness of all kinds shall cease and the
mind OF everyone turn to thoughts Of
the war and what it meant. This OBJ

STRIKERS DREW
JAIL SENTENCES

After If weeks OF turmoil and strife
among the union and non.unonists of
Kalamazoo a dozen corset workers find
themselves in jail, serving from to 20
days as penalty of adhering to the
principles they had embraced when they
identified themselves with the union
movement.
Miss Josephine Casey, organizer of the
Lady Garment Makers union, who has
been on the job since the trouble first
began, drew the heaviest sentence, 20
days imprisorm ment, as she was the ad.
wiser of the local workers who violated
an Injunction Of the court by picketing
the factory. Judge Frank Knappen is
in sympathy with organized labor and
stands for personal liberty now and all
the time, but argues that the law was
violated, and laying personal opinions
and prejudices 10 one side and assum-
ing the personality OF court of justice,
could do no less than pronounce the
sentence that they, as sane people
knowingly violated the laws of Michi-
gan and should pay the penalty.

was a success in every way. 1t was the
universal verdict of both the dancers
and the spectators who crowded the gal
lery and stage that it was ore OF the
prettiest and most successful parties
ever given in Paw Paw.
The opera house was beautifully dec
Grated in rink, representing an endless
amount of labor by the people having
the work in charge. The music fur
nished by the celebrated Fischer orches
ira of Kalamazoo was never better. En-
core after encore, to which they cheer
fully responded, showed the appreciation
of the dancers and spectators During

were served.
Everything combined to make this the
