The eighth grade pupils have
brought samples of good seed and
poor seed to school this week. They

ing, plastering and carpeting. They
enjoy working them.
We are earning Banner for our
school by selling pins.
The fifth grade pupils have written
poems about or flag. The following
are the poems:
Our American Flag
Oh, beautiful flag,
We love you so well,
And each star,
A story can tell.
Some stars tell of war,
While others of peace,
o, terrible war,
How we wish it would cease.
The flag that waves
From east to west,
Our American flag
That we love best.
Marie Dodson.
Flag of our country, brave and true,
'Tis the one we love the best;
1t has its stripes,
Which are red and white,
And it waves from east to west.
Our nations flag, it waves on high;
Ger hill and dale and plain.
It's stars are white,
Which shine at night,
And we can see them plain.
BY Virginia Hall.
Our Flag
We have flag,
The very best
That ever moved on high.
1t has the stripes
Of red and white,
And We'll love it till we die.
The stars of white
On ground of blue,
1t waves and floats above;
And that is this,
The Nations flag,
The flag, the flag we love.
BY Leslie Hall.
The fourth grade pupils each told
about a certain tree that they liked.
They also told why they liked that
certain tree. Then they wrote poems
about them. The poems were as fol-
ows:
The Fir Tree
A song of the fir,
The brave old fir,
The wind shoots through its
branches.
/ like to climb to the very top
Where / can see all about,
can see rivers and trees, see
cities and lees.
BY Walter Olger.
The Christmas Tree
Hurrah, for the Christmas tree,
Which all the children love,
Hurrah, for the Christmas tree,
Sent by the Father above.
1t grows in the marshes fair
Hurrah, for the Christmas tree,
1t stands for many years.
BY Herman Whitford.
The Ash Tree
The brave old ash,
1t stands in one place
1t stands in one place and never
goes.
It has one foot and never moves.
No one sees it eat
No one sees it in the winter,
When it groans and shivers.
1t has thousands Of roots,
And thousands Of branches.
In the summer children climb 1t
And rock in its branches.
BY Albert Chadwick.
The Old Pine Tree
A song for the pine,
The brave old pine,
That stood in the woods so long.
Then the old pine boughs
Would whistle aloud,

Question.

Considering the Importance OF
the election, and the many quest
ions before the voters, the vote
last Monday was exceedingly
light. In Paw Paw township for
instance there was less than $50
votes cast, whereas the normal
vote is nearly 800 The same
conditions were noticeable in all
parts of the county.
This was Michigans first Presi
Dental Preference primary,
about which so much has been
said, and it can hardly be class
ed as a bowling success.
1t had been confidently expected that
Senator Wm. Alden Smith would receive
the endorsement OF his party, and the
result was complete surprise. Henry
Ford the automobile king "rambled
right along at the head Of the parade,
and while the result will not be detin-
itely known for several days yet, the
returns today indicate that the Little
Old Ford" has come under the wire a
winner.
Paw Paw township gave lhe Senator
a majority, but Fords majority IN the
county was 49
Roosevelt who refused to permit bis
name to be printed on the ticket, receiv-
ed several votes in nearly every precinct
in the county, His name being written
10 by the voters.
The County Road question was the
big question in Van Buren, county The
opponents OF the system put up Wig
orous campaign, but the citizens of the
county are better posted on this propos
ition than they were when it was last
submitted and it carried in the county
by an unexpected majority of l424 Paw
