sixty days before the expiration of the membership year Evidence showed that membership in the league carried no privileges except that of buying tires and other supplies from it at prices fixed by Bidwell, the president
 Schemes Gigantic Operations
 Ii is shown by the official inquiry that about two hundred thousand dol lars worth of stock in the Interna- tional Automobile League Tire Com pany has been sold throughout the country on representations that stock holders would be able to buy their tires from the company at factory cost and would receive enormous dividends be- cause of the market provided by the leagues membership. Not only was the number of league members greatly exaggerated in the representations made to sell this stock the official in quiry revealed, but evidence also showed that the tire company had nev- CT built nor operated a factory, nor done business of any kind since its or ganiZatiOn in the state of California in 1912. The inquiry revealed what the official fraud order characterizes as illegal and unconscionable" expense charges of more than a quarter million dollars placed against the tire com pany by it's president, Bidwell. It also SHpNs lfldl UiOIlts WIS ubldlitu ITbHl jobbers through a contract sold to them which purported to enable them to obtain from Bidwel standard tires at manufacturers prices but which actually bound Bidwell to furnish such tires only when obtainable.

WHAT ONE BIC MAN
 THINKS OF ANOTHER

President w. H. p. Faunce
 of Brown University, 10 a pres
 ty live wire who keeps abreast of the times, has keen powers of observation, and knows a
 good man when he sees him.
 Here ls what he has to say
 about the Republican Candidate
 for the Presidency:
 T have known Justice Hughes
 intimately since we were stu
 dents together at Brown and have seen him . thousand times at work and at play. No man of our generation has a finer com binstion of character and intel leet. Absolutely fearless, un-
 selfish, loyal to American ideals, he is worthy of nations trust. "Aii his friends know that be- hind the dignity of bearing Is a rich fund of humor and good fellowship. Whether he ls climb Ing a mountain, reading novels, playing with his children, re- sisting . political lobby or de- IIvering the opinion of the su- prcme Court, he Is ever the same rugged, democratic, fair
 minded American. His varied experience has given him wide
 horizon and sympathy with ev- cry aspect of American life. '"He possesses two qualities rarely found together-the judi
 cisl temper and the capacity for
 swift and resolute action. un-
 der his administration the fog
 which now besets many public
 questions would be cleared
 away.
 His pcnt. -ating mind goes to | the heart of ny subject he se- | Iects and strips off the IrrcIe-
 want at once. Such . mind Is
 peculiarly needed amid the in-
 trfcate problems that now con | front America.
 | We need more than good in- I tentions. We need clear vision,
 sound Judgment, strong will, un- ! hesitstirg decision. In short, I we need Charles E. Hughes"

Prof. Reinhold of w. s. n.
Gives Scholarly Address.
Corned "Red Hen" on
Refreshment Menu.

Tha third meeting of the Fellowship
club was held at the home of h. II. Ball

of the weather kept many members of
the club away, which was to be regret
ted, as this was one of the most pleas
ant and instructive meetings the club
ever held
The musical numbers were furnished
by the High School orchestra, with Mrs.
w. r. oelick at the piano, and vocal
solos by Robert Dillon, Miss Lucille
White acconpanist Both the orchestra
and vocalist responded TO several en-
cores.
The address of the evening was given
by Prof. r NJ Rsinhod OF sne Western
State normal. Prof. Relnhod is at the
head of the department of education
and psychology. He is authority on the
subject of psychology and has achieved
prominence ia educational circles. He
chose for his subject, "The Viewpoint
of the other Fellow" and his address
was given the rapt and appreciative at
tention it deserved. 1t Is sincerely
hoped that the Fellowship club may
again have the pleasure of listening to
an address FROM this profound student
and learned scholar.
Many compliments we're received by
the ladies of the committee on the ex-
celence Of the refreshments. The part
of the menu that was particularly en-
loyed was corned "red hen, rare "bird"
that roams the deuse forests OF the
upper peninsula of Michigan. Mine
host, Emory, is authority on the history,
habits aed best modes of trapping the
"red hen" and it is to him that the club
was indebted for this deIicacy.

SHOULD YOU join
The CHURCH? NO!

No. If you get along without it; II
you have no spiritual needs which the
church alone can meet; il you have nc
passion for service which can be exer.
cised only through the avenues of the
church; if you have no love for Jesus
which draws you irresistably to that in
stitution for which he shed His blood,
then you should not join the church.
No. II the church itself Is not neces
sary to the community IN which you live
if you should be willing to live and rear
your children where the church bells
never toll, where the voice of worship
is never heard, and where the ideals OF
religion never stamp their impress; II
YOU can forget that from its inception
the church has ever led the march OF
civilization; that ignorance, superstition
and crime have fed from It's presence
ike dew before the sun; II you could
now consent to its re moval from your
community, then you should not join
ube church
No. If the Book is not essential To
vour life; il 1t means nothing to you that
the Bible has supplied the ideals for the
worlds greatest art, has inspired the
favorite music o. the ages and is at
once the basis and substance of all the
truly great literature OF the world; If
you can now afford to lose the Bible and
every trace of its iufleu in the world,
then you should not join the church.
For the simultaneous evangelistic
campaign. Z. II. Heaton.

STREET SIGNS AND
NUMBERS INSPECTED

Postoflice Inspector f.. D. Howe OF
Coldwater was 10 town Wednesday to
Inspect the street signs and residence
numbers preparatory to the installation
of city delivery service in Paw Paw.
rhe postmaster is unable to state
when this service can commence. The
inspectors report must be reviewed
by the postoflice department and if given
favorable consideration a civil service
examination will be called for the exam
inatiou of applicants for carrier service,
the examination papers reviewed by the
civil service commission and an eligible
list certified TO tie postmaster for the
selection of carriers. This all takes
time and it is probable thai under the
most favoraoie circumstances city de
livery service cannot begin 10 Paw Paw
before spring. In the meantime, there
are few residences without numbers
that should receive attention.

At Boulogne during royal reception
some years ago number Of English

observing the state Of affairs, called
out: zone roll Of the drum! II they

The Greatest Historian.

By common consent the greatest of
all historians is Thucydides, the Greek
contemporary Of Pericles and author
Of the history Of the Peloponnesian
war. One of the greatest tributes that
can be paid to him is that, according
to the estimate Of very able critic,
we have a more exact account Of a
long and eventful period by Thucyd-
ides than we have of any period In
modern history, equally long and event
rul, and yet all this is compressed into
a single volume. For concise, vigol us
and yet intense presentation Thucyd-
ides has never been equaled. He is
easily the king Of historians. - New
York American.

FL Paso, Tex, April 29.-It
is indicated here that the con-
ference between Obregon and
Scott and Funston will not be
held until Sunday or Monday as
exchanges of courtesies occu-
pied most of the time today.
The beginning of the confer
ence has been delayed by the
reception to the Mexican war
minister and the prolonged So
cial program which was set for
today.
AS Obregon has full power
to act and is accompanied by
the military governors of the
three border states, it is not be-
lieved that the conference it
self will be prolonged.
1t is learned that Obregon at
the conference will say that the
de factos are ready to take over
the pursuit of Villa and protect
the border, and that the Amer
lean troops in Mexico should be
recalled.
Scott and Funston will coun-
ter this with a proposition that
the American soldiers be dis
posed to certain sections Of
northern Chihuahua, to remain
there until the defactos show
that no longer are the Villa
bandits a menace to the border
states.
