CHINESE BANQUET
Pau Pau People Guests at
MattaUan Chinese Farm,
Last Sunday.

Few people in this vicinity know
that there is in Van Buren, county u
typical Chinese farm, owned and cul-
tivated by native born Cinnamon.
This farm is located three miles south
of Mattawan, and is known as the
Chung Yuen farm, which signifies IN
the English language "Brotherly
Community" The farm consists of
a hundred and twenty acres most of
which is low lands. Chinese veget-
ables are grown exclusively, and ship
ped to the Chinese restaurants in
Chicago and Detroit.
The place is owned by Chung Bing
Gahr and his nephew j. o. 10y. Mr..
10y is the head man of the concern,
and also conducts a Chinese store in
Chicago. He is a graduate of Har-
ward University and speaks the
English language fuently. James
10y is the farm manager and Chung
Yick the assistant. These gentlemen
are at the place now, the balance of
the force usually about ten, have gone
to Chicago Tor the winter. The farm
has been under cultivation by the
Cinnamon for four years now, and Mr..
10y states to the writer that they are
just beginning to make some money.
DIR. Coleman of Mattawan is the
English manager and advisor for the
owners of the place.
Last Sunday, through the courtesy
of DR.. and Mrs. Coleman a company
of Paw Paw people were the guests
of these splendid and interesting
people at the farm. Judge Killefer,

Cavanaugh and wife, Judge David
Anderson and wife, +. N. Wakeman,
wife and son Wynn with DR.. and Mrs.
Coleman of Mattawan made up the
party who enjoyed their generous
hospitality and sat down to one of the
finest dinners ever served to any com
pany. Chung Bing Gahr was the
chef, and be it said that he is one of
the finest and most proficient chefs
having seen service in some of the
finest restaurants in the country. 1t
was typical Chinese feast served in
Oriental style. The table decorations
appeared to be beautiful variegated
roses, but on close examination they
were found to be fashioned from some
vegetable, carved by the deft fingers
of Ching Bing Char. Words fail the
writer in attempting to describe the
dinner in detail. 1t was in eight
courses, magnificently served and
every dish delicious to the taste.
After dinner, the ladies were given
dainty souvenirs, and in addition
Chinese lily bulbs and can of tea.
Such genuine hospitality will never be
forgotten by the guests, and the hosts
will always have a warm place re-
served for them in the hearts of those
who were there.

have never had the good fortune to
enjoy genuine Chinese FEAST

The boys filled the tank and there

Hiram Kelly had his arms and face
badly burned. Within three minutes
after the explosion of the gas the
whole roof and sides were in flames.
Mr.. Gillian and several men rush
ed to the scene. On one side the sta

house. Neighbors who saw the fame

house were burned and the hay and
corn in the stable was destroyed by
the fire.

until midnight, when the buildings
gave way and crumbled into heaps OF
blazing ashes. A hay stack on the
side burned until Sunday afternoon
when the rain put il out. There was

Italy Ends One Of e
Anomalous Situations Of
The Great War.
ITS EFFECT ON CAMPAIGN
Fighting Progressing on Every
Front But No Decision
at Any Point.

London, Aug. 28-Germany aud
Italy at last are at war. Italy has end
ed the anomalous situation that has
existed for months, declaring that
from Monday she considers herself
the enemy of her former ally. The
formal declaration amounts to little
more than official recognition of a
state OF affairs whichlalready existed.
The declaration became inevitable
when Italy recently sent troops to
Saloniki to cooperate in the campaign
of the entente allies on the Macedo-
Man front, as Germany is directing
the opposing forces and has troops on
this battle line. Italy's position in re-
gard to Germany has been an anoma-
lous one since Italy withdrew from
the triple alliance May % of last year
and declared war on Austria. Al
though by this act she arrayed her.
self against her former allies, Germa-
ny and Austria, she remained official
ly at peace with Germany until for
NAL declaration was made.
This actien probably will have little
effect on the military situation, al
though as the war goes on it may have
most important bearing On the
Austro-Italian front Italy finds activi-
ty for not more than half her army
and in the future can send available
troops to any front.
Heavy fighting continues between
the entente and Teuton allies in the
Macedonian theater of the region of
Lake Ochrida, eastward of Kavala on
the Aegean, but with results becloud-
ed by diverging statements of Berlin
and Paris.
Rumania to-day entered the war by
declaring war on Germany and Aus
tria. She has 500, 900 soldiers mobil-
lied.

Delegation Of Kentucky To-
bacco Growers In Wash
ington to Protest.
TOWNSVILLE MEN LEAD
Suspect Ulterior Motive On
Part Of Great Britain
English Buyers Benefit.

Washington, Aug. IS. - Confer
erces of the most vital importance to
the dark tobacco growers of Ken
lucky were begun here upon the
arrival of group of Western Ken
tuclkv growers, Sunday.
With their financial status, based
upon the conditions of the market for
this years crop, at stake, the growers
came TO Washington to present the
most serious protest against the ac-
tons of any of the European belliger-
ents toward American producers, not
excepting the British blacklist.
Although every attempt will be
made to avoid them, there is strong
likelihood that charges may be made
against Great Britain that that nation
has restored the embargo on tobacco
to Germany and Austria to force down
the price, that her buyers may reap
tne OeneiN.
The Kentucky growers who ar
rived here are prepared to submit
facts and figures of serious nature
against England's attitude in the en-
tire tobacco situation growing out OF
the war, although it is their hope and
wish not to do SO.
Although the embargo on tobacco
to Germany and Austria is the princi
pal cause of their complaint, the en-
tire regulations Of Great Britain ex
tendjag to the importations int
England, France, Russia and Italy
will be touched.

last year through her independent
buyers purchased 32,OO0,O00 pounds
of tobacco, will want $4,000, 900 this
year, and that Italy will be in the open
market for similar increases. These
two countries are direct buyers. The
crop of dark tobacco this year is one
of the finest in the history of Ken
lucky, the growers said, and unless
England lifts the embargo, there will
be no competition for the $50, 900, 600
