CHRISTIAN ENDEAVERORS.

duty In the way OF entertainment. Last
week the fourth district w. c. Il. U. con-
vention was held 10 the Methodist
church, and this week Van Buren county
Christian Endeavor will meet here. The

and Christian have Endeavor societies,
and they will join in entertaining the
delegates and in doing what they can to
make the convention successful.
A reception will be held at the Baptist

the people of the village meet the visitors
and attend as many of the sessions as
possible for there will be fine speakers
and genuine good time enjoyed,

WILL BE APPRECIATED.

A vigorous campaign has been started
by the lovers OF art in Kalamazoo with
view of raising money with which 10
establish an art gallery. They have
met with every ENCOURAGEMENT and it
Is almost 40 assured fact that iD the
near future that city will boast of one
of the finest places of the kind 10 the
state. One site that is under advise
ment is the home OF the late Senator
Frank b. Stockbridge, which is located
on Carmel street, near Main street.
The house and furniture, containing
valuable pictures, complete library
and the most exquisite furnishings, all
of which could be procured by the
association al a nomiLa figure.
This would not only be -reat eneft
to the people of Kalamazoo as an
educator but its influence would be felt
all through the country surrounding it.
The result will be observed with
interest by interested persons here who

SUFFRAGE
AMENDMENT LOST
The State Board of Canvassers Decide
that Woman Suffrage Was Defeated
in Michigan.

While nearly everybody supposed that
equal suffrage carried in Michigan by a
substantial majority, the state canvass
ing board which met at Lansing few
days since, has decided that the measure
was defeated in the state by a majority
OF 585 or thereabouts. Official returns
from all but four counties gave a major
ity for the amendment OF 1886. For
some unexplained reason the returns
from these four counties showing the
vote on the amendment were slow in
coming, and when they were at last re-
ceived the majority against the amend
mept was just enough to defeat it in the
state.
The question now arises as to re-
court, but anti-sutfragists say there is
no way bv which recount can be OBJ

SECON [NUMBER
HIGHLY ENJOYED

The second entertainment of the win
ter lecture course was gwen to a splen-
did audience at the opera house last
Wednesday evening. People were ex-
pecting something good and we're not
disappointed. The word good expresses
much, but is entirely inadequate 10 this
case. The Kellogg Haines Singing Party
consisted of mixed quartet of voices
aud an able accompanied, who was also
monoIogist and was very pleasing.
We doubt IL better voices we're ever
heard here in entertainments Space for
bids mentioning each one, but the opin-
ion of many, and the expression of com
mendation heard on every side, recon-
mends them to every music lover. Their
numbers we're high class and delight

Like a Blanket
The True Northerner
Covers the Field
What Men of Experience Say of It's
Value As An Advertising Medium

In our experience of conducting con-
tests covering several states, very
seldom have we closed a campaign upon
newspaper whose field has been so
thoroughly covered as that OF The
True Northeruer Like a blanket its
subscription list envelops the territory
contiguous tn Paw Paw and spreads far
beyond. Upon the six rural routes
radIating from Paw Paw there is scarce
ly home into which The True Norther-
ner does not enter, aud the homes 10 the
village of Paw Paw where it is not read
are negligible quantity.
The contest, which closes tomorrow
night, has added hundreds OF names to
an already big list. This is something
to be proud Of something tc think about.
Newspaper advertising is conceded by
great advertisers as the most effective
and cheapest form of publicity of all
mediums. Every week a new message
is carried to the heart OF the home.
Every reading mem Der OF the family is
reached not once, but tfty-two times
each year.
We, as newspaper and contest men,
know The pulling power of such paper
as The True Northerner. We bank
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1912-11-29

upon it to bring results, and the most
hardened skeptic upon-the question of
advertising must admit that we have
stirred the interest not only of its
readers but hundreds OF others thruout
the county. These results have been
obtained entirely through the columns
of the The True Northerner. Is there
any reason why greater or less results
may not be obtained through intelligent
publicity by any advertiserY
There certainly is none. What more
effective medium of reaching your trade
than through the columns of a paper
that enters practically every home from
which you may hope to draw business?
Our stay ia this beautiful village has
been pleasant. Our relations with your
merchants have been marked with
courtesy and consideration. We leave
you with the best OF wishes for the
rapid advancement of your fair little
city Ia all ways that are for the good
of your people, thanking you for the
hospitality extended the strangers with
in your gates.

You Can Help.

earnestness of the worthy ladies who
have been working among you for the
pas, six weeksY Do you know how
they have set their hearts upon winning,
aud what disappointment it will be to
them to know that you might have
helped and failed? They are not asking
a donation from you 1t is simply
question OF your paying nov when it
will benefit them or doing it later when
1t will not. ln either case you get
value received, with the added dividend,
in the former, of heart made happy
and grateful remembrance from them
to you. Your renewal or new subs Grip
ton in every likelihood will turn the
tide for some anxious, worthy worker.
Can you afford to let a dollar or two
stand between her and the coveted
