NEW YORK, Feb. Tn the market for
outside securities today speculation de-
veloped fair activity at the outset, al.
though interest for a large part of the

issues. The general tone was strong. with
rather sharp advances in spots. although
in the late afternoon some irregularity de-
veloped on realizing by traders.
Midvale Steel was one of the principal
features and after advancing more than
4 points, due in part to the purchasing of
the Cambria Steel Company. later this was
followed by a reaction of more than .
points from the highest. Driggs.Seabury

wise fell back. Marine common was firmer

some irregularity in spots. Ohio, oil, after
advancing points, eased Off =: Prairie

WOLVERINE WILL
HAVE INSPECTOR
Every Load of Grapes to
be inspected and certifi-
cate issued to grower.

The Wolverine Cooperative Co.,
Ltd. have arranged with the bureau
of markets to inspect their fruits at
Paw Paw and Lawton.
Each load will be inspected, and if
found to come up to the specifications
advised by this firm, the grower will
be given a blue label showing the
number of baskets that meet the re-
quired grade, and this label will be
attached to one of the baskets with
the state seal, and only fruit which
does pass this inspection will be
loaded in certified cars.
A certificate will then be issued,
giving car number and initial SNOW
ing under state seal that the fruit in
said car has been duly inspected by a
state official and does conform to the
rules and specifications of the ship
ping association.
Mr.. Prater, manager of the VOL
VERNE Cooperative Co., Ltd. is con-
fident that such cars will not only
bring q handsome advance over or
binary goods, but that this certifi-
cate will be a great aid in settling
disputes with purchasers as to quail
ity of the goods and reduce to min
imum the allowances necessitated
in adjusting grievances. Attention
is called to the statement of Mr.. Nc
Cam relative to grape prices in the
Wolverine advertisement on page 7
of this issue.

ence course. Mr.. Gottheimer is a
graduate of the agricultural course of
NJ. A. C. He is exceptionally well
prepared for this work both from
training and experience.
The modern thought in education is
that the work of the schools should
be fitted to prepare young people for
vocational work just as much as for
professional work. Paw Paw schools
are organized to met that demand.
The courses in manual training, cook
ing, sewing, and now the beginning
of agriculture, prove the statement.
All pupils expecting to enter school
this year as Freshmen, or for the
first time are requested to come to
the Superintendent office Friday af-
ternoon or Saturday forenoon, Sept
ember first and second to enroll.
There are number of boys and
girls who wish to work for their
board during the coming school year.
Anyone interested will please COM
municate with Superintendent Hung

CAMPAIGN INFORMATION
Very Respectfully,
Ed. M. Bailey.

1t has come to my attention, that
many mis-statements are being made
by my opponents in their campaign
against me. One is "That my admin
istration as Probate Judge has been
expensive to the taxpayers, on ac-
count of legals advice which l have
had" To those who are not in
formed on this matter, l desire to say
that not one cent has my admins
tration cost the county for legal ad-
vice, and further not one cent has
it cose me. In other words, have
had no legal advice during my term
in this Office.
Another falsehood circulated is,
"That there have been many appeals
to the Circuit Court from my decis-
ions in the Probate court" The
facts are there have been three ap-
peals taken to the Circuit court dur
ing my administration, and in none
of these have my decisions been re-
versed.
These mis-statements are a sample
of the campaign that is being urged
against me. All want is a square
deal, and if the voters of Van Buren,
county will only take the trouble to
investigate these stories, they can
easily find out the truth. / believe
that my record during the last four
years will bear the closest investiga-
tion--and | ask your favorable con-
slderation at the polls next Tuesday.
Respectfully,
VIM. Killefer.

REASONS FOR SUP
PORTING K|LLEFER

First: HE has held the office but
one term, and so by precedent is en-
titled to it.
Second:--His experience as Justice
and Judge is a better preparation for
it than the eight years in the Pros
ecuting Attorneys office that his OPP
ponent has had.
Third:--As republicans, we desire
the return of the Progressives to our
party, and to turn down the only man
they elected would be a back handed
welcome.
FOURTH the exception Of o..
w. Rowland, it is probably the last
chance we will have to give a veteran
of the Civil war county office.
Fifth:--This is probably the last
opportunity, while his opponent, ac-
cording to the common course of
life, should have forty years more
if he fails now.
