PAPER COVERS.

The houSekeeper uses all sorts of tins-as receptacles for the left overs that are inevitable in housework. The white of an egg. little apple sauce, pieces of butter. half tumblerful of cream-countless odds and ends have to be saved. Frequently they occupy a large part of the pantry crockery. Most of the improvised receptacles lack covers, yet it Is important to pro- tect the contents. Taper covers will do the work. They are light, clean and convenient and once the knack is acquired are easy to make. Filter paper such as chemists use, is the best for the purpose, It is inexpensive and so soft and tough that it can be folded several times without breaking.
 Cut out square piece twice the size of the top of the tumbler or dish ners; then, with your left hand. hold the octaeonal piece in place upon the tumbler. Roll the projecting edges of the paper inward and upward and press them against the outside of the tumbler of dish.
 If you have made the cap correctly. you can easily remove 1t from any smooth edged receptacle such as a tumbler, and use it again and again.

PHOEBE ANN LoNGwELL.

1t is hard to understand as we look
at this thickly settled. sociabIe, we'll or
ganized and splendidly developed coun-
try with her good roads and numerous
automobiles, how the cary settlers with
their OK teams and crude equipment
could have made such progress toward
civilization or have accomplished so
much in so short time. The history
seems long, counting it as years, but to
look back to the primitive ways and the
means at hand for development it seems
that centuries must have passed ID ac-
compish 80 much. Fhe new settlers
that came from the eastern country as
pioneers must have had something more
than Drawn and muscle to sustain them
their hearts must surely have been
strong to warrant their taking up the
task Of making home in the wilderness,
as this locality was at that time.

of the Order From Various Parts
of the County.

Last Friday goodly number OF the
members of Paw Paw Chapter, o. f.
s., braved the sleet and snow and made
their way in the dark to Decatur On
arriving the darkness had given place
TO a light of much brillisncy, for here
had met so maby Stars that all the small
ones seemed 10 unite into one bright
aud shining body, Lawrence chapter be-
ing represented by thirty and Paw Paw
chapter by twenty-five.
Decatur chapter gave the work in a
most eautlful manner, so near correct
that no one could find one word OF criti
cism. Our worthy grand matron of
Michigan, Mrs. Minnie Keyee of Oiivet,
added much to the pleasure Of the occa-
sion by her presence. Her pleasing
manner and winning ways at once won
her to the hearts of all. Her remarks
were of a high order and much appre- =
ciated.
After the work dainty luncheon was
served and all who defied the weather
felt amply paid for the effort it might
have taken them to be present. We Iuly
regret that more Of our members could
not have been present to enjoy the Ut
bounded hospitality Of our Decatur sis
ters and brothers.

Towards evening he left the house to at

leaving Mrs. White alone. He had

was opened and stranger, wearing a
mask, entered the house ane demanded
the money Mr. White had drawn from

its whereabouts Mrs. White was terribly
beaten and left unconscious ou the

FAVOR AMENDMENTS
TO GAME LAWS
Southwestern Michigan Rod and Gun
Club Declare in Favor of Rigid
Enforcement of Game Laws.
HARTFORD, MICH, Jan. IL, 1913.

HARTFORD, MICH, Jan. IL, 1918.
We, the Rod and Gun club Of South
western Michigan, in convention assem-
bled do hereby declare ourselves in favor
of rigid enforcement of all game and
fish laws that have for their object the
protection and perpeIuation Of all game
and fish in this state, as long as condi-
tIons and their surroundings make 1T
practical to do so. To that end we
pledge our means and assistance 10 work
ing for and enforcing the law along these
lines.
Believing the present deer law 10 be
inconsistent as to protection OF deer and
very destructive Of such game without
material benefit to anyone, as many deer
are wounded and left to die that could
be secured were it later in the season
and snow on the ground. We would
recommend the game laws to be amend
ed, as follows:
lst-The open season for deer to be
from November 10th to December lst
inclusive.
2od That no hunter should be al
lowed to kill more than one doe or one
fAwn in each year, but each such hunter
may kill two deer in each year, provided
at least one of them is buck and more
than one year OLD.
3rd-That the license fee for each res,
dent deer hunter be 81 so, and for each
such resident hunter S25; aliens to
be clsssed as nou resident.
4th-That 20 deer license should be
issued before November lst, and then
only by personal application and no
licenses to be sent through the mail.
5th-We favor the removal OF the
game and fish wardens department from
politics aud placing same urder a non-
partisan Game and Fish Commission.
6th-We favor general hunters
license for all small game and fur bear
ing ANIMALS; said license to be 81 00 for
residents and 5000 for non.residents
and aliens.
7th-We favor a non. resident fishing
license OF 81. 90, the holders of same TO
be allowed to take one days legal catch
with them out of the state.
Sth-We favor a general open season
for small game, with the exception OF
Ruffled Grouse, from October lst to De-
cember 18th. Ruff d Grouse and Cana
dian or Spruce Grouse, November lst to
December lst.
9th-We favor higher penalties for
all violations Of the game and fish laws.
l0th-Ne favor that all monies accru
log from licenses be placed at the dis
posa of the Game and Fish Commission.

Well Known Organization
Elects Full Set of
Officers
SEVERAL SUBMIT REPORTS
Board Instructed TO Cooperate With
Directors of the Other Asso Citations
That All May Be Prote ected.

The annual meeting OF the Fruit
Growers Union was held at Hawley q
Warmers hall Monday, January l3. B..
w Showerman was elected presidents B
h. Warner secretary; j. w. Free treas
urer; w. 7. Davis member board OF aud
itors; r. III. Woodman and X. e. Hutch
ms members OF board OF trustees. q
Mr.. Warner and Mr.. Rckerson were
called upon to give reports. Mr.. Warner
was in pttsburg and reported that the
bad condition OF the market there was
caused by the poor grapes from the ST..
Joe district and the fact that Crutch-
field and Voolfolk had them practically
on consignment, and the low prices at
which Mr.. Durham sold his grapes to
Descalzi. These two firms we're able to
drive every other dealer out OF the grape
market and cause them to lose hundreds
Of dollars. Mr.. Descalzi agreed to buy
one half of his grapes OF Mr.. Warner
at one half cent advance over Mr.. Dun.
hams prices, but he was unable to sell
10 him as there was always from a cent
TO two cents difference 10 prices quoted.
Mr.. Rickerson made substa ntially the
same report from st. Louis Mr.. Mosier
was in St. Louis at the same time n the
interest OF the Michigan Fruit Exchange,
and reported the same conditions as Mr..
Rickerson.
w. III. Stanton, the arbiter for the
three associations, was present and was
called upon for report He stated that
Mr.. Durham was the only one that cut
prices and instead OF notifying before
cutting the price he would make the cut
and then notify him afterwards, in some
instances the manager finding it out
from the other end before being notified
by the arbiter. The most disastrous
cut was when Mr.. Durham cut the
price from IL to 10 cents and in some in-
stances to ga cents, selling % cars, and
the week following when he cut from 10
to cents, and in some instances to ~
cents, selling l03 cars. This lat cut
caused the loss OF over $4,000 to the
Southern Michigan association alone, to
say nothing of the loss to the entire
fruit belt, for it practically ruined every
market on which be sold at these prices
but affected all markets, for no dealer
felt safe 10 buying.
The board OF trustees were instructed
to cooperate with the directors Of the
Southern Michigan and Michigan Fruit
Exchange to perfect an agreement where
by the interests OF the growers may be
protected, and they should have the
support OF every grower and be should
use his influence to force an agreement.
