SPRAYING MIXTURE
TO Be AT PREMIUM

1t is a question as to what the fruit
growers are going to DO this year for
spraying material. Blue vitrol is the
principal part OF the spraying mixture,
and the grover who is compelled to pur-
chase this chemical this year, will either
have to have big bank account or a
gold mine. Mr.. Hindenach Of the Paw
Paw drug Co states to The True Nor
therner that last year this company sold
car load OF blue vitriol to tho fruit
growers Of Paw Paw and vicinity. This
carload cost the Drug company about
e2,C00. A like car load tins year will
cost about $4,000. 10 other words the
grower who purchased barrel of vitriol
last year and paid about S23 90 for the
same, will, il he needs barrel this year
be compelled to pay about five times as
much or sll5. This certainly is not a
very encouraging situation for the fruit
grower, and the worst of 1t is, there is
90 prospect Of an i'm mediate relief from
these high prices

ANNUAL MEETING
FARMERS MUTUAL
Held in Paw Paw Last
TUESDAY. Company in
FIourishing Condition.
40 Members Added
During Past Year.

The annual meeting of the Van Bu-
rem County Farmers Mutual Fire In
surance Company was held in the Me-
mortal Hall last Tuesday, January H..
The meeting was very small, and
nothing of Importance was done. The
old directors were reelected, viz:
d. C. Hodges of South Haven, and
Isaac Monroe of Lawrence.
During the past year the company
has made a net gain Of 10 new mem
bers, making total membership, Jan.
1st, 1916, of 1912. The amount of in
surance at risk by the company is
.$5,S14,125.00.
During the last year the company
suffered 32 losses, amounting to SILL
467.32, of which SO per cent were light
ming and Ga per cent fire losses.
The company only levied one assess
ment during 1915, one-fourth of one
per cent Secretary Breed has been
very successful in the collection Of the
1915 assessment, only $23946 of this
assessment being unpaid.
The company is in a fourishing con-
dition, and is as good a company in
which to place your insurance as there
is doing business in Van Buren coun-
ty.
The company is in the hands Of men
of years of experience in the insur,
ance business, and every loss is ad-
justed to the entire satisfaction of the
policy holder.

Attorney g. NJ Van Riper OF Hartford,
who will be a candidate for the Office OF
Prosecuting attorney in the August
primaries, has been appointed assistant
prosecutor by Prosecuting Attorney Earl

cate that the change came as a CO nplete
surprise to Attorney L Myrl Phelps of
that city who has served 10 the capacity
Of Assistant Prosecutor during the past
year.
Following are the comments Of The
South Haven Tribune OF January 7:
&c. M. Van Ripper of Hartford is the
new assistant prosecuting attorney of
Van Buren, county, his appointment
dating from January first.
The change came as a complete sur
prise to L. Myrl Phelps of this city, who
has been assistant prosecutor for the
past year, and who not only had no in-
timation that Change was to be made,
but did no know of it until be was in.

Mr.. Phelps supposed that his appoint
ment WAS for the term Of his chief, Pros
&c Iting Attorney Burhans, but it ap.
pears that the latter gave Mr.. Van Ripper
the choice of serving as assistant for the
first or second year of the term, and Mr..
Van Riper took the second year.
Mr. Burhsns explains in bis letter to
Mr.. Phelps, which, by the way, although
dated Dec 80, did not reach him until
Wednesday, Jan. 3, that be did not tell
him of the plan 10 change at the end OF
the year for fear Mr Phelps would not
put forth bis best efforts as assistant.
1t will be- interesting to observe
whether at the end of SIX months Mr.
Van Ripper will be displaced to make room
for Duane Mosler, whose friends aver
that Mr.. Burhans promised him the
assistants post for the whole two years
of the latters current term"

WILL MAINTAIN
HIGH STANDARD
Idle Hour Compares Favor
ably With Movie Houses
in Larger Cities of the
Country.

The Idle Hour theater showed to ca
pacity houses last week. On Friday
night Mary Pickford in "Tess of the
Storm Country" was shown and pro-
uounced one of the best films ever shown
here. Experience has demonstrated
that Paw Paw is not large enough for
two movie houses TO exist at profit.
Manager Decker states that the Idle
Hour is here to stay and that he is en-
deavoripg to merit the good will and
support Of every body. He welcomes and
solicits suggestions from his patrons for
the betterment Of the theater. 1--WE
want the Idle Hour to be the peoples
theater, and our object is to please" is
the way the manager stated 1t to The
True Northerner. 1--WE are going to
continue to- give our patrons the best
shows that can be bought to sell for B
and 10 cents admission. Ii the public
DE- sres the bigger features such as are
shown in the cities for an admission of
ID cents to 50 per seat, We will gladly Sc
cure them aud the price will be no more
than is charged in the cities for similar
features. Just for example," said the
manager, Take The Spoilers. This
feature was shown for six weeks at the
Studebaker theater 10 Chicago, prior to
our booking, for -, 81 and 80 cents.
This film cost the Idle Hour 800 for
one day. We run it for matinee and
one night show and our total receipts
were $78 So it must be evident to the
public that we cannot run the big feat
ures for the regulation price OF and 10
cent.
"Our next headliner will be The Eter-
nal City This is an reel feature
which rents for $75 per day. The South
ern Michigan Amusement Co. has
booked it for one solid week, so it will
cost the Idle Hour but $40, and we can
cell for 10 and 10 cents admission.
at will be our constant aim to main
tain the high standard OF entertainment
established and we conscientiousy be.
lieve that the Idle Hour will compare
most favorably with any moving picture
theater in any city of 5000 inhabitants
in the state Of Michigan.

Remember, mere raking of your

"The City Beautiful" campaign will
start as soon as Clean-Up week ends

an inducement in this direction $400

Tulsa county fair next fall, at which
time the judges will select the win

Rules of the contest are quite sim
pie and easy to understand. There
will be no entry fee. Anyone may en-
ter, but only one entry from a single
family will be accepted. No entrant
will be allowed to win more than $25
of the prize money.
Entries will be divided into three
classes as follows: Those who do all
their own work, those who do part
of their own work and those who
maintain hired men. The cash prizes
! Will be awarded only to entries in
class |, while honor prizes will be
given those of classes and 3. The
objec of this class division is to make

compete with those of wealth
This campaign will be conducted
under the auspices of the Tulsa
Rotary club with cooperation of the
Chamber of Commerce, Retail Mer-
chants association, city schools, Free
County Fair association and the wom-
