Several night ago one of the !. w. w. agitators speaking at a mass meet ing in the city park said: ''The little red card in your pocket Is the Liberty bond you could buy"
 As the men were being loaded into the freight cars Thursday one of the guards stopped a little "Wobbly" who was clutching a red car, membership in the l. w. w., in one hand.
 Say, pardner, grinned the guard. If that's what you call your Liberty bond I'll take one of the regular kind. A regular Liberty bond will nev- CT send a man out of a place in a cattle car and it will help send doz- en men across the Atlantic to lick the fellow you 'Wobblies' are trying to help

A Mexican got out of the train some how at one of the stops and started to walk away A guard called to him to stop but he kept on walking. The guard brought his rifle to his shoulder and fired. The bullet cut right through the brim of the Mexican's hat. Mister Mexican spun around like top and scuttled for the car and took the door at flying leap.

Hundreds of citizens had gathered at Douglas to watch the 'Wobbly Spe- cial' pass through but they got little more than a glimpse of it. The train dashed through Douglas like a limit ed, and all the spectators got glimpse of was long string of freight and boiled eggs" peering out through the slats of the cattle cars and the doors of the freight. Scores of armed guards had been stationed at the Doug las depot, but after they saw he cIowG of determined, heavily armed guards mounted on top of the cars they evi- dently decided that there would be lit tie need of them.

When the train reached Columbus the guards were given the most ex- ercise they had had since the drive started.
 First we were ordered off the cars, said one of them yesterday. Then we were marched up and down while and ordered on. We climbed back and then were told to march and clam Der around again. When I got through that drill and had climbed off and on the cars about 20 times began to think that General Sherman may have been right about war, even though he never attempted to guard 'Wobbly' train"

Judging from the way some of the "Wobblies" enjoyed their little tour they have been used to travelling by the hard-cushion route. "The accom- modations and service were excel lent" remarked one good-humored "Wobbly" at Hermanas. ''I only wish that I could expect the same treat ment on my return trip"
 You will be safe in expecting any thing if you return" advised one of the guards.
 Thank you, sir" politely chirped the departed man. After hearing those kind words I think my next stop after a few days rest in Her manas will be somewhere about 2000 miles from Bisbee."

"We'll get you fellows when we get back" shouted many of the ''Wob- plies" to the guards whenever the train stopped
 Maybe you will" answered one oi the guards. "I won't argue that with you. The main thing is that we've got you now. Anything to say about that "
 All the "Wobbly" had to say was expressed in a few mumbles that might have meant almost anything" l"

ONE HUNDRED FIFTY OFFICERS
GATHERED FOR BEST MEET
ING OF KIND EVER HELD IN
COUNTY.
RURAL SCHOOLS PROGRESSING
There Are Now IL Standard Country
Schools in County With More
Following Rapidly.

The annual school officers meeting
was held in the Court room on We'd
nesday February fifteenth, and one
hundred and fifty. school officers re-
presenting one hundred and ten dis
tricts were present, some driving as
far as thirty miles to attend this
meeting. Mr. Coffey of the Depart
ment of Public Instruction was
present, and the forenoon session was
taken up with the discussion OF
school law; in the afternoon school
improvements was the subject dis
cussed. Both sessions were interest
ing and instructive and the most not
iceable thing in connection with the
meeting, was the interest manifested
by the rural school officers in matters
pertaining to the improvement of the
rural schools. 1t may be of interest
to some people to know that there are
a number of rural schools in the coun-
ty which in the matter of hearing,
ventilation, lighting, proper seating,
sanitary toilets and school room
equipment are far ahead of the aver
age village school. During the past
year, the following schools have be-
come STANDARD Schools" No. Ham
ilton, No. Bangor, No. 8 South
Haven, No. Geneva, No. 8 Columbia,
No. 10 Hartford, No. / Columbia,
and No. d, Arlington. Nos. a, 5, and
6 South Haven and No. Waverly
were made standard previous to this,
so that there are now twelve standard
schools in the county. Eighteen
schools in the county rearranged their
windows and put in more, in order to
give left side lighting and sufficient
amount Of light. Eleven schools
have reseated their rooms with new
single seats in the proper sizes cor
rectly spaced and arranged. There
are now six schools with indoor sani-
tary toilets. They are Nos. 2 and
Paw Paw, l Covert and a, 5, and
South Haven. Eighteen schools in
the past year have installed heating
nd ventilating plants, making seventy
six in the county. Among the schools
close to Paw Paw that have been

the past year are 2, 3, 4, 8, and

another year will find many Of these
Standard Schools. Indications are
that there will be twenty-five Stand
ard schools in this county in 1918 and
during the coming summer the A. Nj.
Todd company will erect on their
Mentha farm, a model rural school
building, the very best in the State.

SMALL PERCENTAGE TUBER-
CULAR VICTIMS IN PRISON.

Lansing, February 19th-The SUI
vey which the State Board of HealSh
has been conducting to discover the
amount of tuberculosis in Michigah
i;ails and penitentiaries has attracted
the attention of "The Survey Maga-
zine", of New York City. This pub
lication prints digest of the findings;
in the Michigan campaign, showing
that in the three state penitentiarics
at Jackson, Marquette and Ionia 1871
persons were examined, of who
sixty-seven had tuberculosis, and that
in ten county jails one hundred and
fifty-two persons were examined. f
whom eighteen were found positively
tuberculous and twenty-four suspic-
ious.
"The Survey" points out that while
the total is not alarmingly large
what the figures show, is important
to the rest of the state, because those
confined in county jails one month,
become a menace to the general pnb-
lie the next, if they are tuberculosa.
And not a single one of the forty.tvo
cases found in the. County jails had
been previously reported to the State
Board of Health. Moreover, not
single one Of the county Jail prisoners
pronounced tuberculous knew he he
the disease.

)ACROSS } THE COUNTRY FROM
FACTORY TO DISTRIBUTOR.

1t is quite a common thing these
days to see a string of new automo-
biles pass through on their way to
Illinois or Indiana points. There have
been Bucks, Dodges and other makes
pass through Paw Paw during the last
three weeks, but by far the largest
string of any was one week ago last
Saturday when one hundred cars all
the new Oakland Sensible Six, passed
through on the way from the Factory
at Pontiac to the distributors in Chi
cago. 1t was terrible day, and the
drivers had considerable difficulty, yet
there was nothing that would stop
them, and after remaining a half
hour or so here, they went on their
way. Heretofore nearly all the cars
were shipped from factory to dis
tributing points by freight, but the
unusual demand for automobiles and
also in an effort to defeat the freight
car shortage, the factories are now
sending cars across the country The
Oakland string we understand were
all sold, and were going to Chicago
for distribution.
The string of Oaklands made quite
an imposing spectacle. The new
Oakland Six has magnificent lines,
power to throw away, and is said by
those who know what real car is, to
be one of the very best on the market
for the money. VOLTS and Warner
are local distributors for this car, and
are ready at any time for a demon
stfation If you like the Oakland.

1t was one of the best and most
enthusiastic conventions ever held iu
the State.
! The Van Buren, delegation voted as
unit (18 votes) on every propos-
ition before the convention. The vote
went solid for all the winners in the
convention.
All the nominations were for :.
second term, except that of James o.
Murfin, for Regent, which is a first
term selection to succeed Harry ~
Bulkley of Detroit who was not a
candidate for another term.
Two women suffrage leaders of the
city of Detroit were allowed five min
utes each to address the convention.
Both made good use of the time al
lotted, and probably said as much IN
the five minutes as any other orator
in the armory could have said in
double the time.
Van Buren, county honored r. w.
Broughton with place on the State
Central committee. Mr.. Broughton
has served as chairman of the county
organization with credit to himself
and honor to the county, and richly
deserves the promotion to the higher
organization. The county will be
well represented.
The real hit of the convention was
the nominating speech of Melvin b.
MACPHERSON of Kent county, who
nominated Allen M. Freeland for
member of the Board of Education.
His dry humor kept the convention
in an uproar, and undoubtedly made
many votes for Freeland, but he
didn't have enough.
The unpleasantness between state
chairman John Mangum and the ke'.t
county organization resulted in
boom for John Smith of Detroit to
succeed Mr. Mangum. The Governor
took a hand however, and Mr.. Smith
declined to be candidate, leavir;.
the field clear for the denomination
Of Mr.. Mangum to head the state
central committee.
Chairman Clark in closing his
brilliant address said:-
"Let us say to the President of TIE
United States that in all he should 60
and in all that he shall say to protect
the rights of Americans, to defend the
honor of our country and to continue
the Stars and Stripes as the glorious
emblem of liberty and justice, he shall
have the active, undivided and loyal
support of the Republicans Of Michi-
gan"
George Clark, who will be remem
bered as the spell binder who accom-
panied Governor Sleeper in the pre-
election tour Of the county last Fall
was chairman of the convention. lie
made a splendid opening addresswhich
was characterized by his compreher
sive reference to the business affairs
of the state, and also his loyal and
PATRIOTS pledges to the President,
whatever he may do, in the present
International Crisis.

DIR. DeNYKE PLEAD GUILTY
TO MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE

DR.. G. II. DeNyke, who plead guilty
to the charge Of manslaughter in Cir
cult court at st. Joseph on Tuesday,
was resident of Paw Paw for brief
period of time some years ago, and
will be remembered by, many Paw
Paw people. The charge to which;
he plead guilty was based on the
death of seventeen year old Alice
Mitchell of Buchanan. who died from
causes brought on by an illegal oper-

STATE CONVENTION NOTES
SideHghfs the Republican State Convention heie
in the city of Detroit last Tuesday

Glenn f.. Warner was a member Of
the Steering Committee in the Dis
trict caucus.
Representative Lynn j. Lewis WIS
chairman of both the Van Buren,
county delegation and also the Dis
trict caucus.
The South Haven boys did not
arrive in time for the evening caucus
but were all on deck for the district
caucus in the morning.
Notwithstanding the national de-
feat last election, every county in the
state was represented in the conven-
tion with the requisite number #
delegates.
"Renominate 'em all" seemed to be
the slogan about the hotel lobbies the
evening prior to the convention, and
it was a slogan that met the approval
of the convention in it's deliberations.
Had the proper precautions been
taken, the "Snorer" in the local dele
cation would have been segregated or
muzzled. The boys will probably
bear that in mind in future conven-
tions.
The important committee in the
convention was the one on Permanent
Organization and Order of Business.
Carmi Smith of Niles and Sam Kelley
Of Lansing were members of this
committee, and the work was dora
thoroughly and well.
Detroit is great place to eat.
One memebr of the Paw Paw dele
cation to our certain knowledge ate
six square meals on Tuesday besides
two substantial lunches Monday eve
ming after supper. Inasmuch as this
party was unable to get much sleep
on Monday night, we will not be so
unkind as to mention his name right
out in print.
The pre-convention talk in the hotel
lobbies was that no candidate would
be nominated against Jason Wood
man. Something happened however
after midnight, and Mccormick Of
Menominee was placed in nomination
against him. Before a vote could he
taken however, the Upper Peninsula
delegation had change of heart and
Mccormick was withdrawn, leaving a
clear field for Woodman.
The Paw Paw delegation were ali
quartered at the Statler hotel. 1t
was a very harmonious party, and
the boys were loud in praise of the
accommodations and courtesy shown
by this great hotel. Just one thing
happened to mar the complete har-
mony of the Paw Paw party, and that
was something that no one in par
ticular was to blame for. One men,
ber of the party is well known for
his snoring proclivities, and the night
in Detroit proved no exception to the
rule. Several complaints were lodp-
ed with the management, and one
member of the party, Harry Shower
man, was unable to sleep. Outside
of that, everything was lovely.
