 Many interesting games which were enjoyed thoroughly by the children were played and the refreshments served in the dining room decorated with sweet peas, nasturtiums and ferns added a great deal to the pleas ure of the afternoon. The little guests departed thoroughly tired out but all were unanimous in their assertion that Eve had good time"

FREE TUBtRCULO-
SIS EXAMINATIONS
State Board of Health Starts
Campaign in Van Buren, Co.
Week of January 18th.
ETERNAL VIGILANCE NEEDED
If the Dreaded Disease is to be
Eradicated. Prevalent in
this County as Elsewhere

Perhaps the one thing that more
than anything else will restrain people
from coming to the free tuberculosis
examinations that the state board of
health will conduct in Van Buren, coun
ty during the week beginning January
fifteenth will be fear to face the facts
about their physical condition. There
is in many people an unreasonable
fear of tuberculosis which, DR.. VIM.
DeKline, director of the survey, as
serts, is responsible for great deal
of real harm. Many man who feels
himself run down is afraid to be ex-
.amined for fear that his suspicious
that he may have tuberculosis may
prove to be correct.
"Fear should not hold any one back
said DR.. DeKline. "a person who is
run down and who is told that he has
tuberculosis should be glad he has
learned the real state of things in
time. If he takes the examination
early enough, he has nine chances out
of ten of getting well. Personally
would rather have tuberculosis than
many other disease that is lightly re-
garded, provided / knew it in time.
In fact more people get well from
tuberculosis than from almost any
other important disease.
p,,f fha hA -
mind that the disease must be attend
ed to early. And that is what the
state board of health is trying to do
in these county campaigns, to help
people to attend to it early. l hope
for that reason that all persons who
are physically run down will come to
the free examinations when they are
held here"
Figures gathered from the county
records show that the death rate il
this county from tuberculosis is
about as high in proportion to popu-
lation as in most of the other counties
in the state. 1t simply proves once
more, what is well known to tuberculo
sis workers, that there is no commun-
ity free from the disease and that
much hard work has to be done here
as we'll as everywhere else, if the
death rate is to be cut down in Michi.
gan as the state board of health hopes
to cut it down. There is much op-
portunity in this county for construct
i've work along health lines, the state
health workers assert.

EN- lYABLE SESSION
or MAPLE CITY CLUB

The second social session of the
Maple City club was held at the club
rooms last Thursday evening, and
without eXaggeration it can be said
that it was one of the most enjoyable
sessions IN the history Of the club.
4 bountiful Turkey dinner was served
at six o'clock, after which dancing
and cards were the order of the eve-
ming. The music was furnished by
Deans orchestra of Keller. This
organization is composed of violinist
pianist and a trap drummer. Every
one is an artist, and it was the gener-
al opinion of the club members that
it was one fthe best orchestra's ever
appearing in Paw Paw. The manner
in which the dancing numbere were
rendered, the happy manner in which
the numerous encores were given,
and all united to make the COM
bination ideal. The entertaining
committee were Messrs and Mesdames
F.. +. Parks, Leo Warner, B. F.. War
ner and f. r. Avery.

UNION EFFORTS OF
PAW PAW CHURCHES

The spirit of union and hearty CO.
operation among the churches of Paw
Paw is noticeable and pleasing. In
the first place, the brotherly attitude
of the pastors toward each other has
been very gratifying. For months
they have planned and labored to-
gether in the closest of fellowship.
This in turn has had salutary in
fuence upon the churches, bringing
the rank and file Of the members into
the closest fraternal feelings.
The growing conviction that in
union there is strength has led the
churches to unite in the great Taber-
nacle movement. To this end there
will be union meetings all through
January, in preparation for the great
community meeting in February.
The first meeting will be a Watch
Night service at the Presbyterian
church next Sunday night. Besides
the Sunday evening union services,
the Thursday evening prayer meet
ings will unite, and union cottage
prayer meetings will be held all over
the city.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO
THE EVANGEL|STS
Honeywell says Nice Things
about the McCOmbs, who will
hold Meeting here.

Dr. l. +. Honeywell, who was associ
ated with Billy Sunday in his great
tabernacle campaigns, and is consider
ed to be second to Mr.. Sunday in the
evangelistic field, has this to say
about Rev. J. H. McCombe and Mrs.
McCombe who are to hold a tabernacle
meeting in Paw Paw, in February.
"Rev. J. H. McCombe and Mrs. Nc
Combe have been associated with me
for the past three years, carefully
studying Union Tabernacle work. and
at the close of our campaign here are
going out into work of their own.
If you have any thought of an
Evangelistic effort, | am confident
that you could not possibly do any
thing better than to secure Rev. J. H.
McCombe and his party to lead you
in such work, moreover, / am sure
that a great victory would be won
for your town and the Kingdom.
Rev. McCombe has all the qualifi-
cations of a successful Evangelist.
He is an exceptionally strong preacher
good singer, a fine business man,
with a very wide experience. He is
safe, sane, with winning personality.
He is most thoughtful and consider
ate of pastors, never humiliating them
before the people, but rather exalting
and dignifying their position. He has
conducted Union Tabernacle meetings
with my party, during summer
months, while have been resting, and
with very marked success. There are
few men in the Evangelistic field to-
day in my judgment, that are better
qualified to lead the churches in
Union Evangelistic Campaign than
Mr.. McCombe.
Mrs. McCombe is an exceptionally
successful Christian worker. in fact,
regard her as the best lady Christ
ian worker in the Evangelistic field
today. A very strong Methodist
preacher of New York stated last win
ter that Mrs. McCombe was the best
lady preacher he had ever heard. She
does a wonderful work among the
business women, the High school girls
and the society women of the town.
Mr.. and Mrs. McCombe have master
ed every detail in connection with
Union Tabernacle work. would re-
gard your city most fortunate if they
would arrange there with Mr.. Nc
Combe to lead you in Union Evan
gelistic effort. l would not recon-
mend brother friend if / did not be-
lieve he could deliver the goods, but
with the greatest confidence, l recon-
mend Mr.. McCombe and his party to
you, and in doing so, feel that i am
rendering a service to your churches
and the Kingdom fully as much as to
Mr.. McCombe."

COURT WILL CON
VENE JANUARY 8
Calendar Will Have a Total of
80 Cases. Only Six Grim
inal Cases.
THIRTy-N|NE O|VORCE CASES
Wife the Complainant in %
Cases. Twenty of the Cases
Not Contested.

Circuit Court for Van Buren County
will convene on January 8th. The
jury will not come however until
week later, January 18th, and follow
ing the usual custom, the first week
will be taken up with the arrange
ment of the calendar, and the dispos-
ition of chancery matters.
The calendar for this term will con-
sist of ninety-nine cases, divided as
ollows:-Criminal, six; Issues of
Fact, non jury, twenty-three; Chan
Gerry, sixty-two. Cases in which no
progress has been made for more than
one year, Law, four; Chancery, four.
On the Criminal calendar, five of
the respondents are charged with Lar
ceny, and one for assault with intent
to commit the crime of Incest. This
will be the first term for the new
Prosecuting attorney, and no doubt he
will be grateful for the short Grim
inal calendar.
Of the Chancery division of the cal
endar, thirty-nine out of the sixty-two
cases are petitions for divorce. No
appearance of defendant has been en-
tered in twenty of the cases, and they
will probably not be contested. In
twenty-five out of the thirty-nine di-
vorce cases, the bill of complaint is
filed by the wife, while the husband
is the aggrieved party in but fourteen.

Of General Interest
About Oregon
$5OO,OO0 Plant is Sold.

Marshfeld - Although the transac-
tion took place May 81, 1916, the sale
Of the pulp mill and its site in the
center Of the Coos Bay Lumber COM
pany holdings became known only re-
Gently. The property was sold to Will
liam w. Gurley, of Cook county, Illi-
nois, and the deed showed nominal
price, although the property was worth
more than $500, 600.
The area includes five-acre tract,
and gives Mr.. Gurley water frontage
on Isthmus inlet of 625 feet.
The Smith-Powers railroad runs
along the waterfront, but this is con-
sidered an asset to the plant, since it
furnishes railroad connection for the
mill if it should be made over into
manufacturing plant.
Since the purchase the machinery in
the pulp mill was sold to a Canadian
paper company, which has plant at
Ocean Falls, B. c.. and the steamer
Northland is now shipping one cargo
Of the machinery for delivery at that
point. No information can be obtained
to the uses Mr.. Gurley intends
putting the dismantled mill and its
site.
