ORIGINATES A new
VARIETY OF MELON

T. A. Farrand, Van Buren county's
farm agent, is the originator of new
variety of musk melon. 1t is the re-
suit of some Of his experiments while
in charge of the Government Expert
mental station at South Haven some
years ago. The melon is of good size
shaped something like an Usage
melon, and is yellow when ripe. 1t
has a thick solid yellow meat, and is
of the most delicious flavor, and
sweetness. The originator has never
given the melon name, but it cer-
tainly should find its place among
other varieties of musk melon in the
seed market. The writer had an
opportunity of sampling one of these
delicious melons recently thanks to
the courtesy of Mr.. Farrand.

MICH. BUTTER CO.
WILL BUILD HERE
To erect new creamery on
North GrempS street. +.
III. Colby to be the man
aSer.

The Michigan Butter Company of
Kalamazoo have bought the old
Bailey Livery" property recently
owned by C. w. Sunny on north
Gremps street and are planning to
erect a fine new creamery. Work on
the structure will commence in the
near future.
f. H. Colby has had charge of the
Michigan Butter Cos interests in Paw
Paw for the past five years. He
started in at that time with three
cans of cream per week, and the
business has grown until now he is
shipping from one hundred seventy
five to one hundred eighty cans of
cream per week from Paw Paw. He
now has about forty patrons on the
six routes from this village. Few
people have any conception of the
magnitude of this business. Just to
give an idea Of what it means, it
might be said that the pay roll for
cream alone during the month Of
June, which of course was the
heaviest month of the year, was over
$4,000 The steady increase in this
line Of business here, is largely due
to the efforts Of Mr.. Colby, and he is
to be rewarded with the management
of the new creamery. 1t is not yet
decided whether the butter will be
manufactured here, or whether it will
be made in Kalamazoo. But Mr..
Colby states that they will handle
everything in the dairy line that the
farmer has to sell.

HIT IN EYE WITH
Stone. CLOSE CALL

The Sophomores held class party
at the Fisher home on Route four last
Friday evening. About thirty were
present to enjoy the event. Just be-
fore the start for home, the boys ano
girls were outside eating watermelon
Some one who has not yet made his
identity known, threw stone which
struck Frank Pierce in the corner OF
the left eye. The force of the blow
knocked him down, and it was feared
for time that the injury might be
serious. The stone did not strike the
eyeball however, and no serious re-
suits are anticipated. The throwing
of rocks is a mighty dangerous thing
and in this instance it was close cal
for Franks eye.

GOOD ENROLMENT IN GRADES
More attention this year TO elementary
science including agricultural Bot
any in 10th Grade

The Paw Paw public schools are
now we'll organized and every indi-
cation points to a most successful
school year. Superintendent Hunger
ford, has worked hard to get the year
outlined and organized and is en-
thusiastic over the prospects.
The school year starts out with an
enrolment of 4O7, classified as
follows: kindergarten Is, First
Grade, 81; Second, 40; Third, 32;
Fourth, 40; Fifth, 81; Sixth, 25;
Seventh, 25; Eighth, "a; High school,
120. The senior class numbers 20.
Of the high school enrolment, 60 are
foreign pupils.
There was an increase in tuition
this year Of $500 in the eighth grade
and $1,000 in the high school. The
pupils however will get the benefit
of this slight raise in the way of new
equipment etc. The work is more
systematized this year, and better re-
suits are sure to follow. For instance
more attention will be given to ele-
mentary science. Heretofore one
half year has been devoted to elemen-
tary science and one half to botany in
the ninth grade. Now one whole year
is given to science in the ninth grade
and one year to botany in the tenth
The work in botany will include
agricultural botany, and in the new
equipment ordered are three
new microscopes and Babcock tester.
Harry Gottheimer has charge of the
science work, and this with the band
work, gives him plenty of time for
thorough work in this branch. The
manual training department in charge
of Harold Harboldt and the Domestic
science in charge Of Miss Hilton are
also strong departments of the school
work. The Paw Paw schools were
never better equipped for high class
practical work than now, and much
is anticipated of this years work.

ENJOY DINNER At
The SCOTT HOME
Party of Paw Paw and
Bangor friends spend
Sunday at beautiful home
of Leslie Scott in Airing
ton.

Residents of Van Buren county
have heard much about the genial hos
pitality of Leslie Scott of Arlington
township. Not until one has been en-
tertained in this beautiful home, by
Mr.. Scott and his estimable family,
however, does he appreciate this
splendid gentleman, and his family.
Last Sunday a few of his friends re-
sponded to invitations and were en-
tertained at dinner in his home. A
bountiful and most delicious dinner
was prepared and served by Mrs.
Scot and her daughters in the spacious
and well appointed dining room.
After the last course was served and
cigars lighted, the son Leslie Jr.. who
was home from law school in Chicago
for the day, spoke very nicely of his
fathers friends and the pleasure it
had given them all to entertain some
of them. The guests then one after
another expressed their appreciation
to their hosts for such genuine hospi-
tality and their high regard for Mr..
Scott. Those who were permitted to
enjoy this occasion were John Mutch-
Ter, Chas. Hicks, II. A. Sherman, B.

augh, DIR. J. c. Maxwell, M. L. Deck
er and f. N. Wakeman of Paw Paw;
M. F. Russell, John Sebring, James

and one that will not soon be forgot

MEMORIAL TO MEN,
DRY OF GREAT MAN

Friday October 18th, has been de-
signated Angel Day." to be OBJ
served in all Michigan schools. Fred
l.. Keeler, Superintendent of Public
Instruction states in his official an
nouncement that at is deemed fitting
that the schools pay tribute to the
memory of DR.. James B. Angel,
Michigan's Grand Old Man." Con-
tinuing Mr.. Keller says, "Would it
not be equally fitting that Michigan

hOnoring one who has done more, per-
haps, than any other one man in the
development of the educational
system of Michigan" He asks the
cooperation of every citizen in MAX
ing October 18th, a worthy memorial
to the memory of the great DR..

DEATH CLAIMS FOR
MER PAW PAW Man

Dwight Harrison died at his home
in Kalamazoo last Wednesday morn
ing. He had been in failing health
for about six months, but was able
to attend to his work until about two
weeks ago, since which time he has
been confined to his bed. Bright's
disease was the immediate cause of
death.
He was married to Miss Bertha
Longwell, daughter of G.. w. Long
well of this place, some thirty -four
years ago. He resided here for a
period of eight years, but Kalamazoo
has been their home for the past six
teen years. He was prominent in
Masonic circles, and was Past Emil
.nent Commander of Peninsular Com
mander Knights Templar. For many
years he has been salesman for a
large wholesale drug company, and
was one of the best and most popular
men "on the road" He was esteemed
and respected by all with whom he
came in contact. He was but sixty
nine years of age, and his sudden
death was great shock TO his rela-
tives and friends.
The funeral will be held from the
Masonic Temple in Kalamazoo on
Sunday afternoon at One o'clock
Burial will be at Prospect cemetery
Paw Paw. The service will be in
charge of Peninsular Commandery.

MAJESTIC THEATER BURNS.

The Majestic Theatre in Kalamazoo
suffered disastrous fire last Monday
evening. In some manner fire caught
under the stage about five-thirty in
the afternoon. 1t was just between
the matinee and evening performance,
and it is thought that it may have
been accidentally set by some of the
stage hands. The "Style Show" was
on there this week, and all the
costumes and scenery were destroyd.
The loss is heavy, and it will probably
be some time before the place can be
repaired ready to reopen.

DO IT AGAIN.

When it comes to raising water
melons, all the growers will have to

Almena township. The writer was
the recipient of one of the finest
melons from his patch that be has
sampled in years. 1t was Of the
Sweetheart" variety, weighed twenty
three pounds, fine meated and sweet
as honey. Many thanks Scott, do il

GAVE INSPIRING ADDRESS.

The Rev Russell H. Bready, pastor
of the Methodist Church of Hastings,
addressed an audience of about one
hundred people in the M. +. Church of
this place on Tuesday evening on the
State Wide Prohibition issue. Mr..
Bready is one of the best speakers in
the state on the subject, and has
most instructive and inspiring adj
dress. He talked informally, taking
up the subject by the method of
questions and answers. The True
Northerner regrets that time and
space will not permit a complete re-
view of the splendid address.

Grapes TO be inspected by
State Inspectors. Seal
of State on baskets
that meet re-
quirments
COUNTY AGENT STARTS PLAN
California only state to have inspec
ton of Fruits. Much is expected
from the plan as outlined by
MIR. Farrand

Grapes that are mature,
sound, clean, of ripe color,
free from rot, mildew or mold,
true to name for variety in
dicated, medium to large
berries, punches compact, well
formed and not less than three
inches in length, packages of
legal size and full weight"
Such are the specifications, and re-
quirements for grapes that will pass
the State inspection, and be entitled
to certificate and shipment in "Certi-
fled Cars"
State inspection of fruit is new
thing for Michigan. In fact there
is but one state in the Union, Cali
fornia, that has any kind of state in
spection of its fruit crop. Such in
spection is bound to come, and it
seems fitting that Michigan, and
right here in our own Fruit Belt at
Paw Paw should lead the way. 1t
will be merely an experiment here
this year, but from this beginning will
result ultimately, State inspection OF
all fruit and possibly other products.
County Agent Farrand, called a
meeting of growers at the council
rooms on Tuesday evening to explain
and discuss the proposition. About
Iseventy-fve responded and it was a
most successful meeting. The move
ment was started through the agent
and Wolverine Association, Mr.. Prate1
being very enthusiastic about it from
the start. All the associations want
it, and on the interest taken in the
matter by the growers will depend
its success. There is no reason why
Michigan Grapes should not bring as
much in the market as New York
grapes, and they will if properly
selected and packed.
One thing to be impressed upon
the growers is, that this inspection

who has fruit which will come up to
the specifications and cares to take
the trouble to pack according to the
same, can have the grapes inspected
by state inspectors. If they meet
all requirements a certificate will be
issued, baskets properly certified, anC
grapes shipped in certified cars. Il
the fruit does not meet the require
ments, q if the grower does not care
for the inspection, his grapes will bt
shipped with others in a separate car
The Associations here will be tn,
first to get this state inspection
The success or failure of the move
ment is up to the grower. l.. c
Carey will be the state Inspector fol
Paw Paw and Mr.. Carmody, fol
Lawton. Both of these gentlemen
are from the M. A. c. and men of ex
perience in the inspection of fruits.

this faithful sentinel of God at the
highest post of power, charged with
the grandest truth of heaven, was
ready to be transformed by the re.
newing of the infinite Spirit"
In all this Jesus was proving his
ability to Judge not according TO the
appearance, but to judge righteous
judgment That surely was what he
meant when he said that Peters
words savored not of the things that
be of God, but of those that be of
men. Peter was advising him to act.
as some people advise their neighbors
to act today. in what they call nor,
NAL way. Jesus was we'll aware that
normality in the flesh was judging ac
cording to the appearance, that is of
acting in a way which savored of the
things of men. The world would have
thought it extremely natural for him
not to be too drastic. not to carry his
views too far. He saw clearly that
the metaphy sician must act in ac.
cordance with his own view of Prin
ciple. and that for any other persoA
to undertake to tell him how far he
should go was tantamount to under
taking to tell him how far he could
see. The individual knows, and must
know better than any other person
what he sees. and how he intends to
work out what he sees. For some
body else who does not see. in the
same way or so far, to attempt to re
strain that person. as Peter would
through mistaken sense of love, o
as Judas would through a deliber
ate sense OF material gain. is to create
a condition of things impossible to
all concerned
