ported second time the offender
receives a "blue slip" summoning him
to appear before the board and explain
his conduct. Then the transgressor is
fairly tried and judgment is passed by
the board Being thus given hearing
before nine of his fellow students, he
feels that he has received square
deal" and is willing to abide by the
consequences.
1t must not be understood that the
control of the school has been entirely
turned over into the hands OF the
student body. A teacher will be in
attendance at every meeting to give his
advice and see that justice does not
miscarry. Tfen too, there will be a
"Board of Appeal composed Of the
faculty that will hear the case of anyone
who thinks he has been misiudged by
the "Student Board"
This plan is entirely experimental here
and If for any reason it should fail to
work out as it should, the old system
will Immediately replace it. But the
success it has met in other we'll known
schools aud the sincerity with which the
students here have taken hold OF it is a
fair augury of it's ultimate success 8.

MESSAGE FROM
UNKNOWN LAND
Copy of Newspaper from
India Presents interest
ing Study.

We are 10 receipt OF copy OF The
Times of India, dated January l9, 1912.
The paper itself is an interesting study
the makeup, language and advertise
mepts bringing as it were a message
from ar unknown country. 10 this issue
is sketch of the commercial life and
career of a Chicago man who en-
barked in trade in London less than
three years ago. Mr.. Selfridge, a man who
had years of experience in the big store
of Marshall Field invaded London town
and set up his drapery establishment in
Oxford street. He was not received
very cordially by the English people in
general-they taking the attitude that
he was there to show them, and they did
not wish to be taught their business by
an outsider.
For eighteen months, according to his
own story, he had chequred time of it.,
but he had a business policy laid out
and followed it to the letter. The grand
result was that he has built for himself
a lasting monument, and built it upon
the most substantial foundation-thato Of
politeness regard for the rights OF
others, the looking after the welfare Of
the young who are in his employ and
too that there was room in London for
20lh century business, with progress
sive American head to conduct its des-
tiny.
His was the first shop in London to
boast post Office, reading and writing
room, silence room, hospital ward, a
ladies' hair dressing room, etc. Mr. Sell
ridge selects and trains his assistants
better than any other London merchant,
and provides everything for their com
fort necessary. He says: "Having started
as shop boy myself, | know what a
chance means" English boys and girls
respond to fair treatment, and give
the best there is in them. Every morn
ing there is an hour of business training
and also what is called limelight lectures
in which articles are shown in the pro-
cess Of manufacture so the assistant
handling the manufactured product
knows all about the article he is selling.
There are classes in foreign languages
and scholarships given, the prize being
trip round the markets OF the world.
| A careful record is kept Of each assist.
ants career, showing credits ahd mis-.
demeanors, thus showing the employer
at a glance the capability of each
employe, in case of vacancies, which he
wishes to fill.
This man is credit to our country
and we are proud to read such reports
of American bred boys

BACHELOR STORY
BRINGS RESULTS

Would it be immodest or in any way
improper to again refer to the efficacy
of printers ink as a means of gaining
notoriety or to say shat advertising paysY
We know from long experience that it
pays the printer, but we are trying to
prove that the party of the second part
is benefited at the same time. Your at
tention for moment.
Less than a month ago we gave our
bachelors little free advertising, worth
in our estimation at the least, the regu-
lar price OF five cents a line per issue.
We did this not as a money maker, but
a free gratis boost for the town. See

GOOD FELLOWSHIP
EVEN IN BLIZZARD
Popular Club Enjoyed Ad-
dress of Talented At
torney B. F. Chase.

Owing to the ibclement weather the
Wednesday evening at the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. III. A. Cross was not as we'll
attended as is customary. As was re-
marked, however, by member present,
"the meeting made up In quality what
it lacked in numbers" 1t was one OF
the most enjoy able and ir structive meet
ings of the year.
The vocal numbers were furnished by
LaRue Mosier, with Mrs. Claire Harri-
son at the piano. Mr.. Mosier was never
10 better voice and his splendid selec-
tions we're thoroughly enjoyed
Attorney B. r. Chase was the speaker
of the evening. On several occasions
this talented gentle nan has taken the
Fellowship club on interesting trips to
continental Europe, but on this occasion
his theme was strictly American, and
one that is near and dear to every Amer
icau. "Lincoln and his Gettysburg Ad-
dress" was his subject. Members of the
club who braved the storm for this
meeting we're we'll paid in the address
of Mr.. Chase and carried away with
them many new thoughts and facts
about Lincoln and his masterpiece which
has became classic in American lItera-
ture.
After the program refreshments we're
enjoyed and the club spent an hour in
social communion and good fellowship.

So. Michigan in ThrOes of
Terrific Snow and
Wind Storm.
TRAFFIC IS At A STANOST|LL
Highways Blockaded and Trains Un-
able to Move Until Heavy Fall of
Snow is Cleared Away.

The cold weather moderated little
the first of the week and people begsn
to cheer up with the thoughts that
spring was coming in the not far distant
future. Just when everybody thought
1T about time to hear the blue birds and
robins, the storm broke again in all its
fury and the worst blizzard in years has
ragged since Tuesday night. Highways
are piled as high as the fences with the
beautiful (Y) and all the cross roads are
impassable. Not in years has the snow
been piled so high on the sidewalks on
Main street and in front Of private
residences.
The railroad is blockaded, every cut
on the line is filled to the top and it will
require an immense amount OF work be-
fore trains can again get over the road.
The officials of the road have large
force OF men at work aud are putting
forth every effort to clear the track.
Trains we're all stalled Wednesday and
Thursday and it will he some days yet
before they can make anything like
schedule time Not in many years has
such blizzard swept over this part OF
the state.

Change in MANAGEMENT of
Nj. u. II. System is
Reported.
FRUIT BELT LINE TO PROFIT
BY Change, SAYS Rumor. Dreams
May Come True il Reported Deal
is Bona Eide.

The Kalamazoo Telegraph o: Febru-
ary 10, published quite lengthy ac-
count of information given out by the
proper authorities indicating that an en-
tire change in the management of the
M. U. K. is about to be consummated.
In case the deal goes through the Fruit
Belt line will be electrified as will also
number of other roads come uuder ex-
tensive improvements.
We have chased this will O. the wisp
at intervals during the last five years
and so many disappoinlments have over
taken US that we are skeptical as to re-
suits, but this article reads fair and has
the sound of the genuine. 1t is said
that Sanford w. Ladd, attorney for the
M. U. Il. and Mr.. Moore, the largest in
dividual stockholder of the company,
have asked permission to increase the
capital stock from Sl00, 600 to Sl0.000,0O0
1t is stated that the new company
wish to take the M. u. r. on 999 years
lease in order to finance the deal accord
ing to the company's plans. A great
amount of money would be invested in
extensions and improvements. The deal
is large undertaking, but the country
demands good transportation facilities
and eastern capitalists are interested.
They are not slow in concluding where
their cash will do the most good.
The amount of travel and freig1t on
the Fruit Belt certainly warrants better
service. The people along the line from
South Haven to Kalamazoo who are used
to grasping at straws, will hail with de-
light any authentic news that may come
to them bearing upon this subject which
has beeo looked upon by many as joke
heretofore.

GOOD ROADS ARE
NOW IMPERATIVE
How Best to Get Them is
Question Now Before
the People.

Good Roads have a money value far
beyond our ordinary conception. Bad
Roads are the greatest drawback to
internal development and progress.
Good Roads mean prosperous farmers
and where you find bad roads you fiud
abandoned farms sparsely settled
country districts, the poor flock to the
congested populated cities, there to
become poorer.
Good Roads mean cheaper food pro-
ducts for the toiler in towns. Bad
Roads mears poor transportation, lack
of communication, high prices for the
necessities of life, the loss OF millions of
wealth and idle workmen seeking en-
ployment.
Good Roads will help those WHO
cultivate the soil, (The Farmers) and
feed the world and whatever aids the
producers and the farmers OF our
country will increase our gains and
benefits to all the people
Don't forget the Good Roads meeting
at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs. G.. w. Lee
this Friday night. Good speakers and a
pot luck supper. Davis Haven Of
Bloomingdale expects to be present and
explain the workings OF the county
system. Every body is cordially invited
Remember the pot luck supper.
Good Roads Earle is expected to
come to the county for several meetings
in March, He will be in Paw Paw or
the evening OF March 26.

IDLE HOUR GAINS
IN POPULAR FAVOR

Geo. Pierce, the manager of the
Idle Hour, is giving free picture
show Wednesday and Saturday nights,
on a screen above Avery's store, the
pictures are thrown across the street
and include free advertising for busi-
ness men.
The Idle Hour was established about
five years ago, and has been run
under several different managements
since, but Mr.. Pierce is furnishing
the best reels and service the people
have ever had and the packed houses
show that his efforts are appreciated.
The firemen's benefit Monday night
netted a nice sum for the department,
and shows that Georges heart is in
the right place.

APPRECIATED THE COURTESY

II. l.. Mcneil of Paw Paw was a
visitor Thursday, February IA, to the
plant of the Postum Cereal Co. Ltd.
one of the points of interest of Battle
Creek. After going through the
cluster of modern food buildings he
visited the private art galleries of c.
w. Post, where he was permitted to
see some notable paintings, bits of
sculpture, rare relics, and curios.
Mr.. Mcneil expressed himself pleased
with the reception given him by this
and other firms of this city.

FIRE ENGINE NOW
IN WORKING ORDER
Has Been Thoroughly OverhauIed and
is Now Ready for Any Emergency
that Might Arise.

The citizens Of Paw Paw can now rest
assured that the fire fighting apparatus
and water supply is ample and in readi-
ness to protect property 10 case of a fire.
Perry Yeider has completely overhauled
the tire engine and subsequent trial
demonstrated the fact that it is now in
better working order than ever. From
the time the match was applied to the
fuel under the boiler 1T was but nine
minutes before steam was ready to throw
stream of water. The hydrants have
also been inspected so that in case of
fire now the splendid fire department
will not be handicapped for want of wa
ter or efficient apparatus.

HOMELESS DOGS.

There are over 600 homeless dogs on
the streets now and it is almost impos-
sible to find a man who has ever owned
one.
We saw the collector hold up citizen
with two dogs at his heels and whisper
in his sunburned ear, "are both OF them
yoursH" He kicked one Of the dogs and
said "Great Scot / haven't owned a
dog in two years..
As through this vale OF tears you
sadly, sadly roam, the saddest thing in
life is a dog without a home.

A CONTRAST TO .LoRIMER.

II didn't cost Senator Borah Of Idaho
a cent in his fight for reelection in the
primaries of his state, as announced

no one else spent cent in behalf Of his
Such being the case, it is a
splendid record for politics of the present
