9TH GRADE PRO.
MOTION EXERCISES
Held at High School Room
Wednesday Night. 20
Receive Diplomas

Wednesday evening, June 7, 1916, was
an eventfuI period for 20 of the boys
and girls OF the grammar department OF
the Paw Paw schools. The class this
year was evenly divided, ten boys and
ten girls, and as they were grouped upon
the elevated platform the sight OF the
young and happy faces we'll might cause
the>heart of any fond parent to throb
with pride and JOY.
The exercises this year were held 10
the high school room, which was made
to look very CHEEKY and homelike with
decorations of bunting, ferns and many
flowers. Every recitation, every dla-
logue, every piece of music and every
drill was executed with much credit to
the ones taking part. Never before has
as nicer and better looking class OF young
men and ladies entered the high school.
and we are cure that il these boys and
girls enter the higher grades with the
determination to persevere and tight for
the finish that the commencement class
of 1926 will be one that any school may
we'll feel proud.
Z. j. Cavanaugb, in behalf OF the
sc hool board, presented the class with
heir diplomas. HIS remarks we're such
as to inspire and urge them on to great
er and higher attainments. John Lyle,
in a few we'll chosen words 10 behalf OF
the class, presented the teacher, MISS
Rose Dillon, with a server tray.

TOWNSHIP BRIDGE WASHED
AWAY

The big bIldge which spans the river
proper on Kalamazoo street is complete
ly gone. The force of the water going
through the tunnel was too great, and
1t forced its way under the tunnel and
the heavy sand on top forced the arch
to break, thus letting all the sand 60
with the water. About 80 foot of the
bridge is all washed away, the break
came on the north. west corner and it
will require several hundred loads of
sand to fill, and it will require several
weeks before the bridge is used for traf-
fic.
Water stood about two foot above the
road and for the fact that the street be-
ing built Of rolled stone the damage
would have been much greater.
Traffic was stopped for nearly all day
Thursday.

FREE HALL & MUTCHLER'S
DAMAGED

The dixie on the south side of Free,
Hall & Mutchler's dam washed out about
70 feet. The water took the roadway
on the east side of X. L. S. & G. siding,
and about 2 carloads of soft coal belong
ing to the firm went down tbs river.
The water stood Is inches in the mill
and was foot deep in the lumber sheds
on the north side. The two center walls
of the mill were washed out, and wheel
pit damaged The road to the scales
was also washed out ard the cement
arch and foot bridge to the tail race was
completely wrecked, the cement work
falling toto the tail race. The firm loss

events. The room was in charge of q
competent man, who said be never met
a nicer and more gentemanly set Of boys.
There we're estimated 5000 people in
Paw Paw and over 1000 autos. The
council had provided special officers to
handle the traffic, and only for one slight
accident or Main and kalamazoo street,
which was entirely the fault of the party
receiving the damage, the large crowd
came and went without any one seriously
iojured. At six o'clock, Main street was
solid mass of autos, and the manner 10
which Mark Chstfee handled the traffic
was commendable.
No town iD the county could have
handled the crowd better than was hand
led here last Saturday. Not even De-
catur, whose Superintendent seemed to
think that his town was the only one to
take part in the exercises, and who had
a lot of "air" to explode at the meeting
of the directors. He seemed to have it

tunity to express himself against the
Ca pital City fortunately all of his pet
schemes we're met with opposition from
the more level members of the
board.
The events we're pulled off as sched-
uled on the official program. The morp-

which was in perfect condition for the
running races. The afternoon sports
were held 90 the bail grounds, and over

Health Service
Quarantine Wharf Dredging to
Have Begun October 7 Not
Yet Started; No Wharf

With no quarantine wharf available
at which to land steerage passengers
or berth steamers requiring quaran-
tine, Dr. F. Z. Trotter, chief quaran-
tine officer for the u S. public health
service in this port, is wondering
when work will be started by the
Standard American Dredging Com
pany on its quarantine wharf job. The
contract called for the dredging to be-
gin October Z and it has not yet been
started
The quarantine wharf has been torn
down on time ready for dredging and
because it is no longer there steer
age passengers have to be taken to
the quarantine station by land instead
of by water.
The contract for relocation OF the
wharf calls for it to be relocated and
rebuilt by March 10. Unless work
starts on the dredging soon it will be
impossible for the wharf moving con,
tractors, the Lord-Young Engineering
Company, to rebuild it in time, as re-
building the wharf cannot be com
menced until the dredging company
has dredged to the required deep
water depth the space between the
present deep water line alongside the
old wharf and the mauka line of the
relocated wharf, which will be ABOUT
100 yards further south than before.

INSPECTION IN
!. SCHOOLS TO HELP
Fight DISEASE
Anti tuberculosis League Tells
of Extension of Work
Through Hawaii

Especial care is being taken in the
new school inspection work of the
board of health in Honolulu to detect
incipient tuberculosis among the chill
dren and the extra precautions, it is
hoped, will soon be applied to every
island. This system this year has been
extended from Honolulu proper to the
entire island of Oahu. On Kauai the
tuberculosis nurse attended all the
school examinations, pointing out to
the physician the children from tuber-
culous families and giving him other
information which would help him de-
tect the disease
This part of the tuberculosis cam
paign is the outgrowth of work start
ed several years ago, when preliminary
surveys showed that a great deal of
consumption could be expected in Ha-
waiian schools Among a number of
suspects then taken under special SUI
perYision, some have improved to
such an extent that they were re-
turned to school this year, but in
some other cases it was necessary to
send the little ratients to sanitariums
The anti-tuberculosis bureau is
working on the accepted theory of the
Increased prospect Of infection in chill
dren over adults Some hold the
theory that all consumption starts in
the child and only develops in later
years. The bureau does not ignore
this possibility and takes all precau-
tions ~.
It has issued this week a special
warning to parents and teachers to OBJ
serve more carefully the children un-
der their charge and to remember
that a suspicious symptom in a child
is more suspicious than in an adult
1t urges every one to take no chances
and have delicate children frequently
examined for the disease.
