MURDERED WHILE
DEFENDING GIRL
James l.. Clement, former
ly of South Haven and
Hartford killed on the
border.

James l.. Clement, formerly a
South Haven boy, lost his life while
defending a Mexican girl at Browns
vile, Texas. He was a Corporal in
the Warrington Rifles" of Warning
ton, Virginia, and was with his COM
pany on the border. He was pass
ing a house in the Mexican quarter
of the city, and heard a woman
scream, rushing in to her defense, he
found Carl Dunches United States
soldier, firing a revolver at pretty
Mexican girl with whom he was in
fatuated. As he entered the room,
Dunches whirled and shot at Clement,
the bullet entering his heart and kill
ing him instantly. The girl was
struck by one of the bullets but will
recover. Dunches was captured a
few hours later.

duty, was 28 years of age. He was
well known throughout Van Buren

who were shocked to learn of his un-
timely death. The funeral services
and interment were at South Haven

Rev. C. f. Vamey is at Ottawa,
Illinois for ten days of chautauqua
work. This is Mr.. Varney's third
season at Ottawa, and the chautau-
qua management at that place would
simply not take "No" for an answer.
Three consecutive seasons in the
same place speaks mighty well for
any chautauqua worker.

BRAIN FOOD FAILS
Diet to Overcome Dr0WSineSs in
Classes Given Up.
Hungry Girl Students Raid Sweets
Shops-"Feeds" Off the Campus
Blast Professors Dreams OF
More intellectual College.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-When Vassar
professors got together recently to
discuss the reason for pretty dropping
heads and eyelids that just wouldn
stay open during afternoon classes,
they reached the conclusion that the
girls ate too much for luncheon. Since
something had to be done to improve
scholarship, they decided to attack the
evil at its base-the field of supplies.
The edict went forth. Thereafter,
it was announced week ago, lunch
con was to consist of one course, with
soup sometimes thrown in for good
measure. Potatoes went first, in the
belief that the absence of spuds would
increase the list of honor students.
Twas not to be. So all side dishes
vanished next, followed by sweets,
That was the last straw.
Corned beef and cabbage was the
first days menu. When the second
days luncheon doomed the girls faced
salmon salad. The third day offered
slices of meat, olives and cubes OF
cheese. And then-aye! and then
the following day the tables were dec
grated with p large, lone dish OF
stewed oysters.
The girls decided they had had
enough brain food. The one and only
topic of conversation at the luncheon
table as long as the luncheon lasted
was the luncheon. Pickles began dis,
appearing from nearby shops and the
proprietors suddenly saw visions OF
much bloated bank accounts. The
girls went to the housekeepers and
protested.
Were starving" they said. We've
got to have more to eat or-or-
The ultimatum was carried out last
week. When through with the meals
provided by the college the girls
sought bake shops and lunch counters.
The "off-the-campus tea rooms" were
swamped with fair diners every noon.
Candy stores ordered unusually large
quantities from the manufacturers.
The girls came in more sleepy than
ever.
Authorities of the college decided to
ease ND q bit. The experiment, which
was supposed to last month at least.
was cut short recently. when Miss
Eleanor Leslie, president of the senior
class. announced that the old order
of hearty luncheons would be restored
Immediately.
When the news fioated over the
campus it caused an outburst of re-
joicing almost unprecedented. Today
the tables were decorated with pota-
toes and the little sweets that tickle
the palate. The shopkeepers wept bit
terly as their balloon of hope was
punctured.
But, it was learned from authorita-
