GENTLEMEN GUESTS
OF The COTERIE

Our space last week would not admit
Of proper write-up of "Gentlemen's
evening" at the Coterie club house, so
we postponed it until this issue.
The evening was in charge of the
Social Committee assisted by the 3rd
and 4th committees. The club house
was made very cozy and homelike by
the use of rugs, pieces of statuary,
divans, dainty pillows, potted plants
and flowers. The color scheme was
pink and yellow and proved most dain-
ty and beautiful. A short program con-
sisting of much enjoyed duet sung
by Mrs. Matte Abbot and LaRue Mosier
accompanied by Mrs. w. r. Sellick at
the piano, Rev. G. II. Heaton of the
Baptist church gave two much appre-
ciated readings, Lyman North sang
two numbers that were highly enjoyed.
Light refreshments were served by
the committees. All in all Gentlemen's
Evening at the Coterie was great
success.

WHAT OUR NE|GHBORS ARE DOING

He was bending over when the bullet
struck him and it probably lodged near
his stomach. He was taken to Ann
Arbor by Supervisor Squier Tuesday
afternoon where an attempt will be
made to locate the bullet by the aid of
the X-ray and possibly remove it.
The shooting was considered an acct
dent. Cecil said the revolver belonged
to Roy Steele and Howard Taylor was
carrying it. 1t is another evidence that
fire arms are dangerous playthings, es-
pecially in the hands of young boys

MINSTREL SHOW
GREAT SUCCESS
Commercial Club ANA
teurs Make a Great
Hit.
TWO NIGHTS TO BIG HOUSES
Everybody Pleased With Efforts of
Paw Paws Local Talent
Entertainment.

The MINISTRIES, under the auspices of
the Commercial club, took place at
Longwell's opera house as scheduled.
Not black face artist was absent and
the crowd that gathered to listen to
their Jokes and Fsongs was one OF the
largest that ever got together on such
an occasion. Standing room was at a
premium and great many were obliged
20 go away and wait for the next even
ing's performance.
The stage setting was plain, but very
CLASSY As the curtain rose slowly to
place, the vision that greeted the eye
was most effective. The sides of the
stage we're hung with graceful folds of
dark green, while Old Glory added her
glorious colors to the back. Two cir
cles of Paw Paws best in full dress, fin
ished the scene complete.
The overture and opening chorus was
sung with a zest and filled the audi
ence with great anticipation of what
was to follow The bones were handled
with care by Messrs. Wakeman, Warner
and Harrison. The tambos were grace
fully swung by Messrs. Snow, Moser and
Decker. V. A. Lepper as interlocutor
handled this difficult task with great
dignity.
The jokes by the six end mel we're
new and right to the point. Many local
hits brought down the house. The
soios in the first part were all A No. l,
and much appreciated. Pitkin's orches.
ira, with Miss Frieda Snow at the
piano, and the high school band fur
nished the music that charmed and de-
lighted all and added much to the eve
ning's entertainment
The specIaities in the secocd part
we're all fine and much enjoyed. This
consisted of solos, trios, quartets, special
selection by high school band in cos
tune, monologues by Wakeman and
Harrison, Verne Decker was there too
with the goods, fancy dancing by Miss
Payne of Kalamazoo and buck and wing
dancing by G. G Glover of Kalamazoo.
The minstrels were from start to fn-
ish great success, each and every one
making a hit. The proceeds we're
$l72.80 and will greatly add to the de-
6cit lecture course fund. BY request it
was repeated Thursday evening to a
good sized house.

A FALSE REPORT

Last Saturday travelling salesman
was being brought from Lawrence to
this place with livery. The driver in
conversation with the salesman told
him that there were over forty cases
Of scarlet fever in our little hamlet.
Now, where this said driver got his
information we can not say. But we
do know that he was very, very much
mistaken. The writer does not know
of single case up to this time, and
really thinks that said driver must
have been having his usual pipe dream.
Anyway we have no scarlet fever in
Paw Paw and furthermore we do not
expect to have.

DEMOCRATS WIN
ENTIRE TICKET
Result of Village Election
was Surprise to Both
Parties.
FALSE RUMORS CIRCULATED
Reports Used Freely on Election Dav
Contributed to Republican
Defeat.

The result of the Paw Paw village
election was a surprise party to both
republicans and democrats Republi-
cans were surprised at defeat and DEM
ocrats at the magnitude Of their vic
tory. That there would be some sue
cessful candidates on the democratic
ticket was practically conceded by re-
publican wiseacres, but that their en-
tire ticket would be elected by large
majorities was wholly unexpected. 1t
was the first time in years that tick
ct had been put into the field under the
democratic flag, although the party has
always had ticket in opposition to the
republicans, but it has borne some
other name, such as Union, "Citi-
zens", Democratic, Peoples Union Sill
ver' or some other similar name, like
trying to escape destruction by sailing
under neutral flag This time they
came out boldly under the real party
designation and won out by a hand
some majority.
MANY IdlSe TunOTS were clrCuldJeu
on the eve of election relative to DR..
Ferguson's attitude toward the pool
rooms and cigar stores should he be
elected. This and other false reports
were issued freely on election day and
contributed to the Democratic victory.
1t is to be regretted that such tactics
were employed In the village election.
The result was as follows; democrats
first, republicans second

Allegan people are quite generally
pleased to know that Claude E. Fire
stone of the Allegan News seems TO
have received the postmaster's posi-
ton in Allegan. It was reported in a
state paper this week that his name
had been sent by the president to the
senate for confirmation and for other
reasons it is expected that he will be
the next chief i'll the postoffice. Mr..
Firestone is young man of clean char
acter and many admirable qualities,
including industry, and it is not doubt
ed that he will make a good postmas-
ter. He has lived in Allegan many
years, being connected with his parents
in the newspaper work. He graduated
from the Allegan high school in 1905

ENJOYABLE NIGHT
MAPLE CITY CLUB

Last Thursday evening the members
of the Maple City Club and a number
of invited guests from out of town
were entertained by the sixth commit
tee, consisting of Mr.. and Mrs. VIII
Longwell, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ Buskirk,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Simpkins, Mr. and
Mrs. A. o. Duncombe, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Labadie and Mr.. and Mrs. Glad
stone Beattie.
AS usual an elaborate dinner was
served at seven. The tables were deco
rated with smilax and potted yellow
daffodils, the first flowers of spring. A
delicious turkey dinner was daintily
served and also greatly enjoyed by
the happy throng. After dinner the
guests assembled in the reception room
and Miss Frances Duncombe accom-
panied by Miss Frieda Snow at the
piano sang several delightful solos, res
ponding to many encores.
Miss Snow also rendered several
piano solos, which were highly enjoyed
by the appreciative listeners. Later
the dining hall was made ready and
dancing was the order of the evening.
A great many, however, preferred the
card tables, and spent the time pleas
antly in the popular past time of
bridge All were loud in praise Of the
evenings enjoyment.

students properly, but building in
which to hold Chautauqua and recep-
tions and such. If everybody would
work toward new building, one could
be erected that would make us proud to
own. We need a good Public Building
and one adds to the prestige of the
town. Let me tell you this, if you do
not erect a public building, some one
will come along, see the need and erect
a brand new" up-to-date opera house,
and the chance and prestige will be
lost. We need some place to hold our
public meetings. The play the other
night proved that the old Opera
House" as it is called, is entirely unfit.
Better get busy or you will lose the
chance. Why public building would
pay for itself, more than do it, in the
up-lift and education that comes from
such things as lectures, concerts, plays,
ETC.
Paw Paw has the situation, the nat
ural resources, and think the capital
could be found to make it better and

Tell me not in truth accents,

OBSERVATIONS AND SUCCESS
TONS BY A LOCAL PASTOR

1t was with a great deal of satisfac-
ton that l read the article entitled
United Effort A Greater Paw Paw. The
author is unknown to me, but | would
like to meet him and give him a slap
on the back and say "go to it," l am
glad to know that there is one man in
this place that stands for higher and
nobler things than just business alone.
He hit the nail on the head alright
What Paw Paw needs is more sociality.
Some people in this place are afraid
to "stoop", they might burst suspen-
der button.
Why l met a man last week who
would not let me put church notice in
his window, sociability? Yes, about as
sociable as an icicle. My first impulse
was to turn on my heel and leave the
place of business, then the still small
voice" said keep sweet, so turned in
and bought some goods from him, this
warmed him up some, not much, but
| am going to keep at it until l get a
sign in his window. Sociability is what
we need first. Merchants, bankers,
ministers, all must "let their light
shine" We are not doing all we can.
1t is said that the Roman soldiers
shortened their swords and added to
their kingdom. This applies to business
too. Shorten the distance (socially)
between you and your customer and
you add to your business and to the
community. You will also shorten the
distance between him and his pocket
book, and lengthen the distance be-
tween him and the mail-order house,
then there will not be so much business
go to other towns that ought to stay at
home.
| have only been in Paw Paw a short
time, and am just young man, boy
almost, but there are some things that
have noticed. l have travelled some
for my age, and had my eyes open.
And in some ways Paw Paw is behind
the times. For instance, we ought to
have more manufacturing plants here
Surely we have the facilities, there Is
lots of water for one thing, and we car
; furnish the labor. Who knows, if we
can get more industries here, the "Olc
|, X. L. S. e c." may start to running
parlor and observation coaches. i
, does not take much work to get things
| started, just little push and advertis
ing will do the trick. The Board o
} Trade has started the ball a-rolling, lie
everyone push it along, and soon it will
r be going like AZ centimeter shell.
: Paw Paw needs a new High Schoo
e Building, anyone with one eye coul'
3 see that. The present one is entirel
e inadequate to the needs of the towr
We need building not only to hous

THE SPOILERS.

THE Spoilers, Rex Beach's popular
novel was given in nine reels at the
Idle hour theatre Saturday evening to a
large and well pleased crowd. All who
witnessed it felt amply paid for their
time and money. 1t was said by many
to be the finest production of it's nature
ever shown here. Vern is endeavoring
to give the public a first class enter
tainment from night to night, and in
his selection of "The Spoilers" he sure
ly made no mistake

USE THE NEWSPAPERS

Don't advertise on trees or rocks
Afar from haunts of men.
You cannot sell the woodchuck clocks
Or pictures for his den.
The squirrel may observe your sign
About your cure for chills.
And on it he may try to dine,
But that won't pay your bills.
The possum buys no breakfast foods,
We may as well confess.
So if you want to sell your goods
You'd better use the press.

IDEA FOR FARM
INVESTIGATIONS
True Northerner Reader Would Make
Experiment Station at the
County Farm.

The County Farm is situated between
Lawrence and Hartford, easy of access.
The soil is diversified and fertile and
the buildings commodious, it is man
aged by a competent man and is under
the supervision of the board of super
visors.
What an ideal place for a county ex-
pertinent station.
The stock and poultry could be bred
scientifically plats of ground sowed to
all the seeds, grains and roots, and a
record kept of everything open to the
public who are interested in farming.
The board of Supervisors are largely
farmers and could give advice and dis
pense information to their several
townships.
Any newspaper in the county would
be glad to publish an annual report,
and the agricultural element would be
greatly benefited at a nominal cost. A
salaried farm expert told me that he
got some Of his best ideas from the
farmers themselves and passed them on
to the other fellow. Now if that is the
case dozen of the best farmers in the
county who specialize in different
things ought to be as good as one $4,000
expert, with them acting as an advisory
board, it does seem as though beneti
cial results might be obtained on the
farm over in Hartford.
