HIGH AONOR COMES
TO PAW PAW WOMAN

Mrs. Olivia J. c. Woodman of Paw
Paw is the recipient of an honor that
comes to but few. She has been call
ed to Washington, d. G. to make the
response on behalf of the National
Grange to the address of welcome
given by Woodrow Wilson, president
of the United States. She left for
the Capitol city on Tuesday. Mrs.
Woodman is one of the countries most
gifted women. Her selection to make
such an address in this great National
Organization is a high tribute to her
ability and standing, and one which
she richly merits. The honor is not
only pleasing to Mrs. Woodman, but
is mighty gratifying to her friends in
her county and state. We join in

of United States Pension agent at De-
troit, which position he filled with
credit for four years. He then re-
tired to private life, where he has liv-
ed leisurely literary life at his
beautiful colonial home just east of
Paw Paw, where, by his genial humor,
and his unostentatious life he has en-
deared himself to the community.
Mr. Harvey travelled extensively in
this country and abroad, and was
familiar with the worlds best
literature 1t was always a genuine
treat to hear him speak on any
occasion, and on whatever subject he
might be asked to talk. He was al
ways kind hearted and most thought
ful Of others. Many a time he has re-
sponded to the call of some friend,
and officiated at a funeral when his
failing strength should have kept him
at home. He was broad minded, and
had a wonderful depth of vision, and
with it all was most charitable with
the faults and foibles of his fellowman
In the passing of Mr.. Harvey, we
lose an ardent patriot, good citizen
and a genuine friend.
The funeral was held from the resi-.
dence Sunday afternoon. Rev Henry
w. Harvey, a brother officiated, assist

terian church here. His immediate
relatives, brothers and nephews, acteC

If Mr.. Wilson is elected, as seems
when he has served his second term.
That's a question already being dis

the Democrats will want him to run
for third term now that they have
officially discarded the one-term plank
But third term candidates have not
been at all popular in this country,
and no man has yet been able to get
away with it. That the nation is a
Republican nation, is manifest in spite

Already many have said that Mr.
Hughes will be presented again ii

policy to nominate a man who has

KABEL IS PAR0LED

Albert Him., who plead guilty to
burglarizing the Hale Stores in South

Ionia for a term of from six months
to fifteen years, with recommen-
dation of one year. Deputy Cone con
veyed the prisoner to that institution

was a partner Of HIM in the crime
was paroled for a term Of two years.
Judge Des Voignes made a personal
investigation of this case, and owing
to the eXtenuating circumstances and
other facts in the matter, which came
to his attention determined on this as
the wise and judicious disposition of
the matter. The talk given the
prisoners by the court should sink

Thursday evening Of last week,
marked the passing away, of one of
Paw Paws most prominent and dear
" beloved citizens, Edward H. Harvey
after a lingering illness extending
over several months.
Mr.. Harvey was born in New York
state, and came to Michigan with his
parents when seven years Of age who
settled on fam in Richland, Kala-
mazoo county. He received his early
lucation in that county and in the
College IN that city, afterwards COM
pleting his cGIcation in the Eastern
Universities. Most of the interven-
ing years since childhood have been
spent IT. Michigan, and he has always
identified himself with the interests
of his state.
He was a veteran of the Civil war,
and served in Clusters brigade until
wounded at Cold Harbor, one of the
hardest fought cavalry battles of the
war. After the war, his fondness for
study, led him into the ministry, his
longest pastorate being at Albion
Michigan. His kindly sympathies
and loving devotion to his work win
ming him hosts of friends. His ardu-
Gus labors, however, in his profession
and the wound he received at Cold
Harbor, greatly impaired his never
very rugged constitution, and he was
compelled to retire from the ministry
on account of failing health. A few
years afterward, and during the adj
ministration of President Harrison, ir

now California has just decided a
presidential campaign and while John

But if we should return to New

COUNTY COW TEST
ING ASSOCIATION
Organized in the Office of
County Agent Last
Wednesday.

Organization and System is the
success of business. All branches of
farm enterprise, which formerly was
run in any old "Hit and Miss" manner
is all fast becoming an organized
science. County Farm Agent, 7. A.
Farrand, is largely responsible for this
improved condition in Van Buren,
county.
The latest organization for the bene
fit of the farmer, is what is known as
the Van Buren county Cow Testing
association, which was organized in
the office of Mr.. Farrand last We'd
nesday. Following are the officers of
the new organization
President, l.. l.. Lawrence, Decatur;
Vice President, Ralph Sherman, South
Haven; Secretary and Treasurer. G. f
Robinson, Lawrence; Board of Direct
ors, Arle Lyle, Decatur; Carl Bartlett,
Porter; Arthur Reading, Lawrence;
and Ray Fowler, Hartford.
j. H. Waldron, dairy specialist from
the NJ. A. c. was present to give a
talk and assist in the organization.
There are twenty-siX members in
the organization. An expert will be
employed, whose business it will be to
spend day each month in each
association members herd Of catt
The owners will then have a y,
record of each COW in his herd. The
purpose of the organization is obvious
The stock will be improved; feeding
and care will become science, and
butter fat in the milk will be increas-
ed to a maximum. 1t is all in the
line Of progressive farming. Farmers
are now just beginning to learn how
to do business. The possibilities are
unlimited. This association is COM
plete. No new members can be add
ed. 1t is probable however that an
other association will be organized
in this county.

ANOTHER FIRE IN
lAWT0N VILLAGE

Lawton is trying hard to have an
other destructive fire. On Tuesday
morning The Weiss Basket factory
store house near the X. l.. S. and C..
Ry tracks caught fire in some myster-
ious manner and burned to the ground
1t was filled with baskets which were
all lost. Cary Dunham had charge OF
the business of the Weiss company.
1t took strenuous work to confine the
fire to this one building. The place
known as "The Old Morrill, residence"
near by was the hardest to save, and
it seemed at one time that it would
surely go, but the boys saved it.

VAN buren, NOT HIT
BY The LAND SLIDE

The vote in Van Buren, county was
most satisfactory from a republican
standpoint, when compared with some
of our neighboring counties. Hughes
and Sleeper carried the county by well
over a thousand, while the county
ticket was elected by majorities
aroundffteen hundred. George Dill.
enbeck for road commissioner had the
closest call, winning by the small mar
gin of two hundred. Mr.. Waber his

fact that he is one of the best road

HUNTERS ARE NOW
CAMPED IN NORTH
Last Party Left Pau Pau on
Tuesday of This Week
For Northern Camp
NINETY LICENSES IN COUNTY
TWeLUe More than Last Year
Call of the North
is Strong.
NINETY LICENSES IN COUNTY

The last Of the deer hunters are
probably now in camp in the northern
woods. German Prater, Delos Mitch
elson, Alphonso Cross and son, and
Fred Cornell were the last to go from
Paw Paw, leaving Tuesday morning.
The snow storm early in the week
helped to hasten the stragglers, for if
there is anything that a deer hunter
likes to see, it is a nice fall of snow.
There have been a total of ninety
deer hunters license issued from the
clerks office this season. This is
twelve more than were issued last
year, when there was great falling
off owing no doubt to the fact that
the law was changed permitting only
one deer to each hunter instead of two
was quite a common thing to issue in
as formerly. Several years ago it
the neighborhood of one hundred and
seventy-fve licenses. In former
years several licenses have been is
sued to ladies, but this year the fair
sex will remain at home by the fire
side. The cost of deer hunters
license is $1.50. One dollar of this
amount goes to the state, % cents to
the county and % cents to the clerk.
In addition to the deer hunters
license, there have been approximate
ly fifteen hundred resident gun
licenses issued in the county, and one
nonresident license. The cost of
resident gun license is $1.00. Ninety
cents Of this amount goes to the state
and ten cents to the county. The fee
for a nonresident license is $1,000.
Several county licenses have been is
sued to ladies.
To one who has ever been deer
hunting, the call Of the north is strong
and the hunter no sooner gets home
from one trip, before he commences
to plan for the next seasons outing.
Besides the anticipation Of the next
years sport, the tales of the chase,
and the big one that was wounded
and got away, furnishes enjoyment
around the freside during the long
winter evenings.
