! high as 1.7sH in Chicago. which was
inew high record. Shorts were not dis
posed to stand much punishment pre-
lliminary to q double holiday and were
good buyers, especially of old crop de-
iliveries. Crop reports were more fav-
orable, the heat wave In the southwest
being broken and numerous points re-
porting showery and threatening con-
,ditions. The scope of government con-
1rol seems likely to be widened and
price regulation certainly can not be
construed as meaning high prices.

bright and harvest Is reported as near

CHAUTAUQUA OPENS NEXT
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

The Paw Paw chautauqua will
open next Wednesday. The big tent
will arrive on Monday, and Tuesday
will be erected on the old Court
House grounds and everything made
in readiness for the opening day. An
unusually strong program has been
provided this year. Page two of this
issue will give, some idea of the ex-
cellent features in store during the
seven days. Every person who can
possibly arrange to attend the ses-
sions should do so, and even if you
cannot attend but few of the num-
bers it will be cheaper to purchase
a season ticket. The price of the
tickets is the same as heretofore,
$500 for the entire course. Childrens
tickets are S1.00. All children under
fourteen will be admitted free for the
first day only. After that a ticket
will be necessary. If you have not
already secured a season ticket, be
sure to do so before the opening en-
tertainment Wednesday afternoon.

FIRST TRAINING CAMP AT
FORT SHERIDAN Is CLOSED

Following is list of the Paw Paw
boys who received commissions at the
close of the training camp at Fort
Sheridan last week:---
Leland B. Aseltine, second lieuten-
ant infantry section; assigned to
regular amy.
Mark J. Chaffee, second lieutenant
in National army.
Robert l.. Dillon, second lieutenant
cavalry section officers reserve corps.
Lynn H. Lake will enter the second
training camp which opens August
9th, and Royal f. Decker is unde-
cided at this time as to what will be
his future course.
1t is a disappointment to the boys
who did not receive commissions, as
well as to their friends. They have
worked hard for the coveted COM
mission, and those who know them
best feel certain of their qualifir
cations.

RECEPTION AND BALL IN
THE NEW FORD QUARTERS.

Packer and Giddings have COM
pleted their Exclusive Ford Service
Station in Lawton, and announce an
informal reception and ball for all
present and prospective Ford owners,
their families and friends next Tues
day evening, August twenty-frst at
Eight o'clock. Fishers orchestra will
furnish the music. The new building
is one of the finest Auto Service
structures in the country, and would
be a credit to any city in the land.
These two Ford Auto distributors
have made good with a vengence, and
such thrift and enterprise should be
appreciated by the citizens of the
community in which they live and do
business, which embraces the most
remote corners of Van Buren county.

FRUIT ASS'NS ADOPTING
COOPERATIVE SELLING.

At meeting of the Fruit Growers
of Lawton and vicinity held at the
Town Hall in Lawton on Tuesday
evening July 81, it was recommended
by the members of the Southern
Michigan Fruit association present, to
enter into a contract with the North
American Fruit Exchange to sell this
seasons crop, provided all other assoc
ations in this belt did likewise.
This move is along the line of CO.
operation in eliminating competition
arising from each association selling
their own output. In accordance
with this vote of recommendation, the
Board of Directors of the Southern
Michigan Fruit association, at a meet
ing held on August 18th, signed
contract with the North American
Fruit Exchange.
The exchange is now laying plans
to market this seasons entire crop
for the following associations
Southern Michigan Fruit Association.
Wolverine Cooperative Company.
Fruit Growers Union.
s.. Joseph Fruit Association
Bridgeman Association
This will put about seventy-fve
per cent of the grape crop of Michi-
gan in the name of one sales agency
4 l. - - 10l Il ntafe
of both shippers and buyers.
At the above meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Southern Michi-
gan Fruit association the following
resolutions were passed:
Resolved, by the Board of Directors
of the Southern Michigan Fruit associ
alton that in entering upon this con-
tract with the North American Fruit
Exchange we do it in the spirit of
cooperation for which we have labor
ed for several years, and believe it
to be the most practical plan yet pre-
sented to maintain uniform prices
and eliminate unnecessary local COM
petition.
Be it further resolved, that the
Southern Michigan Fruit association
true to its tradition, being an organ
ization operated entirely in the inter-
ests of the growers, reaffirms its
support of the cooperation idea
through the grape belt, but looks with
suspicion upon acute competition,
active between association managers,
as being in violation of the spirit of
true cooperation as detrimental to
the cause of an effective federation of
the grape interests of Michigan.

We sometimes wonder if the people
of Paw Paw and vicinity appreciate
the class of pictures that is being
shown at the Idle Hour theatre these
days, and if the proprietor Mr. Reeves
is receiving the encouragement to
which he is entitled. The features
shown in Paw Paw would be a credit
to any movie house in the cities, and
no matter what night in the week
you may decide to go, you are always
sure to see first class show. There
are no "cheap" nights. Every night
is good. If you are not already a
weekly patron of the Idle Hour, you
should be. T he features are worth
while, and besides Mr.. Reeves is en-
titled to all the patronage and en-
couragement it is possible to give
him.

VAN BUREN WELL TO TOP
IN AUTO LICENSE ISSUED.

According to compilation just
completed by the Secretary of State,
Van Buren, county stands well toward
the top of the list of registered motor
vehicles by counties. The amount
which covers only the first six months
business of the present year will be
considerably increased in the next
half year, especially in the period
following September first when regis
tration for the balance of the year is
made for one half the regular fee.
1t is estimated taht the total regis
tration will reach 250,000 as COM
pared with 100000 last year.
21S7 motor vehicles or pleasure
cars and 107 trucks or commercial
cars make up the total of Van Buren's
1924 vehicle registrations in addition
to the 101 chauffeurs licenses and an
even so motorcycle licences. Twelve
dealers are licensed to supply the de-
mand and the title to 36 vehicles has
been transferred to new owners.
Among the innovations planned by
the Department for the next year
will be a distinctive plate for trucks
which will obviate the possibility OF
an owner using a truck license on a
pleasure car, although this feature is
already partially covered by the iden-
tifcation card which is issued with
the plates.
