CANADIAN MONEY At DISCOUNT

Canadian silver, which has circulat-
ed as legal tender for years, is no long
er accepted at par. The movement,
which has resulted in the discounting
of these silver coins, WAS started in De-
troit, and quickly spread throughout
the state. The Canadian banks claim
to be loaded" with Canadian silver,
and will not accept more at the present
time in exchange with the Detroit
banks. The Canadian Government has
no provision for it's redemption. The
reason for this restriction on the circu-
lation of Canadian silver, as explained
by one Detroit banker, Is undoubtedly
found in the present European war,
and Is due to the fact that Canada is
purchasing heavily in the United
States, and has not sufficient funds to
her credit to meet the obligations. This
puts New York exchange at premium
in Canada, and the Canadian banks are
charging this premium in all cases
where they make remittances to the
United States. AS Michigan banks, or
banks Of other states are obliged to pay
this premium when ordering their bal
ances out of Canadian banks, it has
forced our banks to charge the costs to
their customers. Canadian silver will
not now be accepted at the local post
office. The Paw Paw Savings bank will
accept it, but only at discount.
Quarters are worth "a cents and half
dollars 48 cents.

Tuesday Forenoon

The exercises commenced promptly
at 9.o'cleck. The program as announc-
ed was rendered. The Meaning of
Geography was wisely handled by Mr..
Wood. The Teachers Home Study, by
Prof. Reinhold. Singing from KNAPP
sack, Mr. Spicer, leader. The Building
of Michigan by Mr.. Wood and Funda-
mentals in Learning Process by Prof.
Reinhold were all carefully presented,
and no teacher felt like going to sleep
but all were drinking in the golden
thoughts as they came from earnest
hearts. Just as the convention was
closing for lunch, Com. V. R. Hunger
ford was served with summons by
the teachers to appear at tho teachers
desk, and Supt. Robertson in gracious
manner in behalf of the teachers pre-
sented him with fine leather chair,
good enough.

tuesday afternoon. lis

The closing hours Of the institute
were we'll spent. The same speakers
as in the morning; and the addresses
did not lose any Of the inspiration or
earnestness. Six little girls under Miss
Busley's skillful training presented
folk-dancing. This was much enjoyed,
as was also the high school chorus with
Miss Williams as leader. The Paw Paw
high school band and orchestra furnish
ed music during the two days sessions
and the band escorted the teachers to
the trains on Tuesday afternoon. II
was a fitting adieu to the visitors.
Paw Paw was glad to have them
here. Paw Paw was sorry when they
left. They were an exceptionally fine
representation OF teachers. Nearly al
departed on the 3:45 and 4:10 trains.

@. c. Alexander of st. Paul, Nebras-
ka was the guest of "Bill" Killefer the
first of the week. Alexander is the
great pitcher of Philadelphia Nation
al base ball team. He Is a quiet un-
assuming gentleman, who makes the
friends of all with whom he comes in
contact. He has been a great friend of
Killefer's ever since they have been
together on the Philadelphia team.
Whenever Alexander pitches, Killefer
Is on the receiving end of the battery,
and no team in any Of the big leagues
boasts of better battery. Both are
famous ball players and credit to the
national pastime. They left yesterday
for st. Petersburg, Florida, to join
their team mates in the spring training
camp.

WHICH WILL WIN?

That the two legislators from this
district-urrell Trip. senator, and L.
j. Lewis, representative, are busy, is
evidenced by the fact that they have
each bill before the legislature re-
garding mortgage taxation, and 1t is
clear that they don't think alike on
that subject. Mr.. Lewis bill requires
tax of one per cent per annum on all
mortgages, while Mr.. Trips bill would
exempt all mortgages and land con-
tracts from any taxation whatever.
There Is argument in favor of both
these schemes and against the present
tax on mortgages which requires so
cents per hundred to be paid at the
time that the mortgage is recorded. It
remains to be seen which one of our
able men at Lansing will muster the
most strength in support of their res
pective bills.-Bangor Advance.

Monday Afternoon, 1:15

The high school quartet furnished
the music. Prof. Reinhold spoke most
earnestly on What Life Means to the
Teacher, which was well received by
the teachers which at this session fill
ed every available space in the school
room Which in itself was evidence
that Paw Paw needed a new auditor
ium to entertain the increasing crowds
that come to the county seat for educa-
tional purposes. Miss Lettie Tubbs en-
tertained the Association with several
musical selections. She is a graduate
of this high school and making good
at the Kalamazoo Normal.
DR.. Barnes gave another fine address,
A Study Of Children's Ideals, and illus
trated his talk by charts, commanding
the attention of every one present.
Prof. Reinhold spoke briefly, taking
for his theme Mental Reconstruction
Periods In the language of one of the
teachers, she said: ut was great"
At $50 p. m. the girls of the Junior
class of the Paw Paw High School serv-
ed the banquet in the Maple City Club
Rooms. Miss Rena Crane, Domestic
Science teacher in charge. The hall
had been PRETTY decorated for the oc-
casion and the tables, which were ar
ranged with great care, presented a
pretty sight with green smilax trailing
the full length and the cut flowers and
beautiful china added zest to the appe-
tite for the fine menu which had been
provided and was much enjoyed. After
the banquet Prof. Hungerford in a few
well chosen words addressed the teach
ers. There was a minor strain in his
remarks as he said he was addressing
the teachers Of Van Buren County for
the last time as Commissioner of
Schools, several teachers spoke and
ended their remarks by saying that Mr..
Hunerford had been such a great help
to them and always willing to assist
them. DR.. Emery responded to a toast
most graciously in his usual happy
manner.
At 8 o'clock
The Association met in the Centennial
Methodist Episcopal Church, filling the
church to the full seating capacity
The invocation was given by Rev. c. II
Heaton Of the Baptist church after
which the Fellowship Quartet rendered
some fine selections.

TEACHERS HELD
GREAT MEETING
Paw Paw Was The Mecca
For Pedagogues
First of Week

Paw Paw entertained the Teachers
Association and Institute of Van Buren,
county Monday and Tuesday. There
was a full attendance Of members OF
the Association. Commissioner ". R.
Hungerford and Supt A H. Robertson
of the local committee have been inde-
fatigable in their efforts to leave moth
Ing undone that could add to the sue
cess OF the Association or to the COM
fort OF the visitors. To find in Paw
Paw places Of entertainment for over
two hundred visitors is no small task
but this Is but small part of the work
or preparation for the Association
which has fallen to the lot Of the local
committee. But they did the work well
and our people responded grandly. The
program as arranged was pronounced
by members the best ever set before
this Association. Many of the people
OF Paw Paw attended the meetings, TAX
ing advantage Of the opportunity TO
hear men of national prominence on
the educational platform.
The Association opened Monday
morning with lively song service con-
Quoted by Harold Spicer. DR.. William
Forbes Emery gave the convocation
prayer. Prof. R. M. Reinhold of Kala-
mazoo was the first speaker, his sub
ject was simultaneous factors in edu-
cation. 1t was a forceful and inspir-
ing appeal to the teachers to work zeal
ously and systematically. He said ITO
be a man Is the grandest thing this
side of heaven" The time when ply
sical power ruled has gone by. Intel
lectual training is the basis of true
power. But we must study to direct
our knowledge in the right channels.
True manhood and womanhood should
show purity and beauty Of life, combin-
ed with Christ like charity, which
aims to lift up those with whom we
come in contact.
DR.. Earl Barnes Of Philadelphia
spoke most effectively. Development
of the Moral Nature was his subject.
The subject was discussed on broad
lines, economical and sociological
rather than in it's ethical features. 1t
was a masterpiece.

gave the address Of the evening, Nine
ty Years of Life and How to Use

attention. It was an address most
worthy Of the occasion, full of timely
thought, and we should have been glad

Tor we all know that II is a foregone
conclusion that 1t Is the dollars spent
at home that help make the community
and 1t is just as true that it is dollars
sent away that help to destroy and
tear down any community. It is well
then to spend our money at home.
And now, how about our time? Paw
Paw for me" means nothing at all un-
less you and l are willing to put our
time as well as our means (if we have
any means) into its development.
Along business lines we need time for
more energy into the business end, uot
only building up what we already have
but also in the encouragement of any
legitimate industry that is feasible.
Socially we can do more than we have.
Nothing breaks the ice, destroys feuds
more quickly than social atmosphere.
And lastly but not least we need time
devoted to more issues.
Now, am not ashamed to say, even
II business man, that l believe in an
overruling and all wise Providence and
that I strive to the best of my know
ledge to follow the teachings of Christ
But a mere belief in these things Is
not enough and If l am not nightly
mistaken the Lord would be more
pleased with you and me, If we would
shorten our creeds somewhat and get
busy. Am l right? These churches and
schools of ours need more of your per-
sonal, moral support. The church and
the school are the first things that we
find the stranger interested in and yet
you and / give these things meagre
attention. When l said that this was
one of Gods beauty spots that we lived
in, community containing the best
people God ever made, you know that
was no "hot air., but the truth and
nothing but the truth, but there is al
ways room for improvements. The
story of little girl illustrates the
point. She inquired of her father If
God made him, and he answered, "Why
me too?" was the next question, Ger
tainly, DEAR" was the fathers answer.
"Well, dad, said the little daughter,
God has learned a lot since he made
you, for he sure did better job on me,
didn't he?
Each generation ought to outdo it's
nradacoooor NoU about q Iitt1a moro
individual effort towards beautifying
Paw Paw. Visitors to our city tell us
that Paw Paw and community is beau
tiful of location and accuse us Of lack
Of appreciation of our natural sur
l wonder sometimes II we
do not realize it too much, and are will
ing to let matters rest entirely with
what the Almighty has done. Surely
a little more individual effort on your
part and mine would help some. Let
us one and all be ready to assume per-
sonal responsibility in the way of be-
ing unselfish, to be ready to give up
have faith in your fellow
man get together and make Paw Paw
a town to make everyone homesick
when they think of going away to any
other town or city. The business men
of Paw Paw should be bigger than the
town and take responsibility Of up-to-
date methods to make it expand and
grow more rapidly.

MIDSHIPMEN'S FATE
IN DANIELS'S HANDS
Secretary Finished Inquiry In
to Annapolis EXamina-
ton Charges.

ANNAroIIs, June i-Secrc,ary Dam
ie's concluded to-day the hearing in the
case of the seven midshipmen charged
with participation in the use OF advance
information at examinations at the
Naval Academy and may annocnce his
conclusions Tomorrow, 1t is possible
that the affair viii expose many unfair
actions in examinations,
Tho mldshipmen who have been under
arrest in the matter are: First class.
Ralph Mck. Nelson. Jr., New York
second class. Chaplin Evans. Virginia
stuart Hamilton. Connecticut Leonard
l. Vessels. North Carolina third class,
Donald T.. Duncan. Michigan Thomas
W. Harrison. Jr., Virginia, and James
T., Moss. Maryland, They and ten other
midshipmen appeared before Secretary
Daniels to-day.
The matter came before Secretary
Daniels as the result of Efforts made
by the parents and counsel for the mid
shipmen to secure a %reopcning of the
case.
II is understood that the guilt or in
noccnce of all the accused men turns
upon the source of n paper containing
certain questions which afteyward
proved to be those asked In the Spanish
examination. A theory which would
tend to the defence of the young men is
that they did not know that 1t was a
copy of examination questions, but con.
sidered II merely as n friendly sugges-
ton as to the matter upon which they
should prepare themselves.

COUNTESS TARNOWSKA
PARDONED IN ITALY
Russian Woman Had Been In
prisOned for Plot to Kill
Admirer.

ROME. June 4.-Countess Marie Tar
nowska. convicted at Venice in May.
1910, OF completely in the murder of
an admirer, Count kamotowsky, and
sentenced TO eight years imprisonment.
has been pardoned and released from
custody.
The Countess wac the central figure in
one OF tine most famous OF italian MUIR
der trials, lasting 100 days.
She had married the Russian noble
man twelve years before and her hus-
band already had been tried and ac-
quilted in connection with the killing of
a young admirer of his wife. The
Count later obtained n divorce. Then
a young lawyer named Prilukon. a
young physician named Naumon and
Count Kamotowsky. n wealthy Russian
nobleman. became enamoured OF her.
The last named insured his life for $780,
900 in her favor.
The charge against the woman was
that she planned to have her two other
admirers kill the Count so that she could
collect this insurance. Saumon finally
killed the Count in Venice In 1907 and
Prilukoff. according to the evidence pro-
duced, was planning to kill Naumoff
when both were arrested along with the
woman and the latter's maid.
The jury decided that Naumon and
the Countess were not entirely RESPONSE
BILE for their acts n they were sem
fenced to three and eight years respec-
lively. Prilukoff was sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment. The maid was ac-
quilted.
