SHAFR0TH SAYS PLATFORM
PROHIBITS CENTRAL BANK

Senator Shafroth, Democratic member
of the Banking and Currency Commit
tee, and one OF the enthusiastic Sup
porters of the administration measure,
said yesterday it was useless to advo-
cate a central bank during this admin

denounced by the Democratic national
platform and could not be accepted.
Discussing the question of the need
Of a number OF regional reserve banks,
Senator Shafroth gave out a statement

Senate Approves Kenyon Measure
which Now Goes 10 House.

The Kenyon red light bill. providing
for the issuance Of injunctions against
the owners of structures used for dis
orderly purposes, was passed by the Sen

The bill was passed by the Senate last
session, but failed to leave the House
District Committee. despite heroic elev-
enth-hour efforts by Judge Prouty, whose
name it bore in the lower chamber, 1t
is probable that the measure will beAre-
ported out by the District Committee OF

BARNEY O'DELL.

In Brantford, Cauada, lived young
doctor, years ago, who became dissatis-
fed with his surroundings and wanted
to try his fortunes in the United States.
He had studied the new school method
of home opathy and was ready to prac-
tice; so he, with his wife and two child
rem, came across the line into Michigan, ,
with lhe Intention Of going on iLto WIS
consin to make home. AS fate often
wills it, the most trivial circumstance
changed their plan, and the family found
themselves in the village of Mattawan.
This was lively little settlement, shp
ping great deal OF grain, lumber, tan
bark, etc, and a typical western village.
Through a peculiar circumstance DIR.
Chas. o. Dell became the possessor of a
farm near the village where he lived for
d short time, then came To Paw Paw
and settled. His son, Barney O'Dell,
was about seven years of age at this
time. The doctor established his office
in the building now used by the Model
laundry, and in few years had &C.
quired good practice. Drs. Andrew
and Clapp were both here, but OF the old
school.
Our Mr.. O'Dell remembers well the
strenuous days OF his fathers practice,
as he as boy used to ride good dea
with him. He relates story that reads
like pioneering. The country for two
and half miles north of the village was
one cense forest. 10 fact, it was desig
mated as the north woods. Father ano
son were riding to see a patient, auo
heard rustlng among the leaves and
branches. They could not see anything
for the darkness, but soon discovered
two eyes like balls of fire, and an anima
sprang over the back wheels Of their
buggy. 1t was either a panther or a wilc
cat. They made no effort whatever tC
make friends with il. and the boy {?
told the writer that be was so scared ht
could hardly move. This was in earl,
Paw Paw.
The first school he attended was il
the basement OF the old Methods
church, or what we now know as the
opera house. The ground was 81 low il
this part OF town that water was stand
ing 10 macy places. A water hole, which
is now solid ground under the Metho

COUNTY TO HAVE
A FARM EXPERT
Movement is ON Foot to Secure Farm
Expert for Van Buren, County.
Idea a Good One.

We understand there is movement
on foot to secure farm expert for Van
Buren county. DR. Eben Mumtord of
Lansing will address a meeting at South
Haven on February 4, relative to OBJ
tanning an agricultural expert for the
county tThis movement was launched
by the South Haven and Casco Pomo-
logical society and is splendid idea.
This is what we need and is not an ex-
pertinent. 1t has been tried out and is
a success. One paper refers to this
sort of expert as a doctor of agriculture.
A man who understands the chemistry
of the soil and what it needs to produce
it's largest money value would be worth
the price to any farmer. We hope to
see this idea brought to practical test
in this county.
