MERITED BOOST FOR
O'GRADY BROTHERS

One of the busy places in Paw Paw
these days is the O'Grady Bros. big
store on the corner. Both of the boys
are hustlers, and are building up a
business that will eclipse the busy
days of the "Long Brick" in it's palmy
days of years gone by, when it was
the Hub of the clothing business for
all the county. This store is not only
appreciated by the home people who
know both the O'Grady boys, but at
tracts the attention of strangers as
we'll. Following is a paragraph clip
ped from The Michigan Tradesman Of
last week and is from the pen of E. r.
Haight, a travelling salesman.

Brothers ed and Jim) of Paw Paw.
These boys handle all the high grade

Big Job Offered Warden Simpson
Best Warden Michigan Ever Had May Become Business
-Manager of Order Of Cleaners.--

Some weeks ago, Warden n. F..
Simpson confided to the writer, while
on a visit to Paw Paw friends, that
he had been rendered the business
management of the Order of Clean
eSs at tempting. salary. He was un-
decided at that time as to his future
plans, and we were not at liberty to
make the matter public. The Hart
ford Day Spring, however, run the
following story in its last issue, from
which it would seem that the Warden
is seriously considering the prop
osition:
"That Nathan f. Simpson of Hart
ford, present warden of Jackson state
prison, may become the business man
ager of the Order of Cleaners, is a
possibility that has become known to
the Warden's Hartford friends.
While in Hartford last week, the
Warden admitted that the position
had been rendered to him, and that he
had the proposal under consideration.
The success with which Warden
Simpson has organized the industries
of Jackson prison, and placed the in
stitution upon a sound financial besis,
has attracted attention to him as an
ideal executive to work out the bus
mess problems of Michigan farmers
who constitute the Order of Clean
ers.
The cooperative marketing of farm
products is a venture that has just
been taken up by the Cleaners, and
has already been put into practice by
the Hartford Arbor. To organize
the cooperative Cleaner shipping
points, as we'll as the cooperative
method of buying farming machinery
and farm supplies, is the problem
which Warden Simpson will attempt
to solve if he becomes the business
head of the organization.
The question Of farm transportation
is another one which the Cleaners

FIRST STANDARD
MARKETING ASSN
Is Organized in Berrien Co.
Articles of Incorporation
Haze Been Filed.
WILL INCREASE EFFICIENCY
Cooperation of All Associ-
ations Is the Ultimate
Result Desired.

Our neighboring county of Berrien
is fast being converted to the idea of
cooperation and organization in the
handling of fruit. Three Fruit Asso-
Citations have been formed in that
county within the last six months.
The latest to be organized is the Ber-
rien County Fruit Association with its
main office at Coloma. Articles of in
secretary of state. The association
is without capital stock, and is non
profit corporation. The membership
fee is one hundred dollars, and the
money derived from the memberships
will be used in the establishment of
central packing house and providing
equipment for the same. The object
of the association will be to more
efficiently market the fruit products
Of its members. Instead of dividends
on shares of stock, the members will
receive a larger share of the consum-
er's dollar. This is the third fruit
association formed in Berrien county
within six months.
AS soon as standard associations
are scattered throughout the Fruit
Belt of Michigan an effort will be
made to combine the associations into
a strong federation which will outline
single definite policy for all the
locals belonging to the federation. In
this way, it is believed, that the fruits
will be much more efficiently marketed
than is now the case. At the present
time there is a great waste, because
of the competition between rival
associations. The new policy will
call for cooperation among farmers
so that they will not compete one with
another, and cooperation between
associations for the same reason.

have taken up, and the proposed plan
includes the distribution of motor
trucks at price which will climate

manufacturers are said to admit con-
stitutes good percentage of present
truck prices.
If Warden Simpson accepts the
business management Of the Cleaners
he will establish headquarters in De-
troit, working in cooperation with
Grant Slocum, the founder and ex-
ecutive head of the order.

den of Jackson prison some time ago

POPULARITY OF THE
IDLE HOUR GROWING

The Merchants Saturday afternoon
Matinee at the Idle Hour Theatre is
proving to be mighty popular, and an
other one is advertised for this week
Saturday from 200 to 600 p. NJ.
All the merchants have tickets which
they give away to every patron during
the week. The result is a crowded
theatre every Saturday afternoon.
Manager Ray Wilson is trying hard
to please the patrons, and is succeed
ing. The Billie Burke serial "Glorias
Romance" is without doubt the most
popular feature ever run at the local
movie house. This runs every Tues
day night, and the place is crowded to
the doors. There is always a good
feature on Wednesday and Friday
nights, and splendid program every
night in the week If you are not
already patron of the Idle Hour you
should be. 1t is fine place to while
away the long evenings and see some
thing worth while, and by all means
ask for the Matinee tickets when max
ing purchases of any kind of the local
merchants.

ANOTHER VETERAN
IS MUSTERED OUT
AUeriU j. Roundy Passed
aWay last Tuesday after
Lingering Illness.

Averill j. Roundy was born in Wood
stock, Windsor county, Vermont,
March 11th, 1885. He passed away
at his home in Paw Paw, November
21st, 1916; aged eighty-one years,
eight months and ten days. While
yet small boy his parents came to
Michigan. For many years he has
resided in Paw Paw. On September
30th, 1865 he was united in marriage
to Miss Ellen S. Southwell. Their
home was blessed by the birth of four
children, Harry who died in Los An
geles, California, July 29th, of this
year; Frank of Calexico, California;
Mrs. f. ]. Wildey of Long Beach, Cal
ifornia; and C. f. Roundy of Paw Paw
The two little sons Of C. f. Roundy
are the only grandchildren. Mrs.
Roundy preceded her husband to their
eternal home, August 9th, 1893.
Mr.. Roundy enlisted April 21st,
1861 for a term Of three years, in
Company C. which was formed in Paw
Paw and sent to fill the Seventieth
New York Infantry. But he was seri-
ously wounded May 5th, 1862. at the
battle Of Williamsburg, Virginia. On
account Of this wound he was dis
charged from the hospital in Albany,
n. Y. October 2nd, 1862. He later
sought to reenlist but was not permit
ed.
He was member Of the G.. A. r.
and for many years has been a MEM
Der of the Disciple church. A note
of interest is that he with his Com
pany helped to raise the present Dis
ciple church which was then in pro-
cess of construction, before they left
for the front. For nearly thirteen
weeks he had been confined with his
last illness, he bore it patiently.
Modest and quiet of life; patient in
affection; peaceful and calm in death
so another comrade and friend has
gone from our midst. The loss is
deeply felt and the sincere sympathy
of many friends is extended to the
bereaved ones.
Funeral services were held Thurs
day at 2:30 p. M. in the Disciple
church. The c.. A.. r. had charge of
the service at the grave.

SHERIFF BEATT|E
GAINS NOTOR|ETy
Gets a column story in the
Chicago Daily NeWs
This Week
TOOK fORGER WANTED IN CITY
Took Prisoner to Chicago
and Cheated SLeuthS
Out of Trip

Seldom does a sheriff Of the So
called rural communities break into
print with a column story in the met
ropolitan dailies. Such was the honor
however, accorded Sheriff Beattie.
Following is the story which ap-
peared in the Chicago Daily Tribune
Of last Monday;
'Van Buren county, Michigan, has
a sheriff who is right up to snuff.
His name is Gladstone Beattie. The
Chicago police wanted Michael Novak
Of 1905 South Kedzie Avenue, for
putting over a bum check" He was
supposed to be on a farm somewhere
in Van Buren county. That was the
only information Detectives Howe
and McSwiggin of the bureau could
give Sheriff Beattie.
At II o'clock yesterday morning the
sheriff drove up in his automobile to
a forty acre farm near Covert. 1t
was a thirty-three mile drive from
Paw Paw, the county seat of Van
Buren. Sheriff Beattie threw robe
over the engine and walked toward
the farm house that stood back quite
a piece from the road. There was no
response to his knock at the front
door. He went around to the rear
and knocked again.
"Hullo!" he shouted. "Ain't there
bo,,,a 30
There was no reply.
Maybe they're out in the barn"
said the sheriff to himself as he
walked in the direction Of that build
ing. A horse and COW were the
only occupants.
The sheriff stood behind the barn
scratching his head. He looked afar
off and saw a man and woman husk-
ing corn in field. He cut across and
was soon up to them.
GLOW de do" spoke the sheriff.
want to hire a good corn husker ?"
The man and woman laughed. TAX
ing the husking peg from the mans
hand, the sheriff grabbed up an ear
Of corn and said:
"Let me show you how
After giving a deXtrous exhibition
of corn husking, the sheriff asked the
man in offhand fashion what his name
might be. He replied that his name
was Jones.
Sheriff Beattie was born and raised
in Covert township and he knew there
were no Joneses there. Displaying
his badge of office by throwing back
his coat, the sheriff asked the man to
walk aside with him.
t'Now, your name amt Jones any
more than mine is Brown" said the
sheriff. you're Mike Novak, and the
police up in Chicago want you for
having something to do with an al
legged bogus check or something of the
sort. You're going to come along
with me, and if that lady there husk-
ing corn is your mother, you can say
good-by."
The man admitted his identity.
The woman was his mother. Sheriff
Beattie drove back to Paw Paw with
Novak and had late dinner at the
Jail. He then drove to Lawton, four
miles, and caught Michigan Central
train for Chicago.
At 5 o'clock in the evening, Sheriff
Beattie delivered his prisoner at the
detective bureau. 1t is customary for
Chicago policemen to go after fug-
itives, but the "rube" sheriff, as Howe
and McSwiggin called Beattie, cheated
them out of a trip and the expenses.
Novak whiled away the hours in a
cell humming:
"That's why / wish again,
