GRAPE CROP NOW ABOUT
TWO THIRDS HARVESTED.

The grape harvest is still in full
blast, that is, when thesweather will
permit. Growers have been seriously
handicapped this year. Cold weather
delayed the ripening. Then the heavy
continued rains with light frosts came
on, and some weeks very little could
be accomplished. There has also
been a general scarcity of labor, and
had it not been for the assistance of
the various schools of the county, the
outcor'a would have been serious.
The first real hard freeze of the
year came on Wednesday night.
Growers say however, that it has not
impaired the quality of the fruit, but
has caused the grapes to drop from
the vines more freely, and many
tons will be left on the ground. Some
few growers have finished picking,
but it is probable that not more than
two-thirds of the crop on an average
has been secured up to this time.
Up to, Wednesday night a total of
378 carloads had been. billed from the
local station. In addition to this the
Grape Juice factory has used approx
mately five hundred tons. The factory
will probably use from three to four
hundred tons more before the cellars
are filled to capacity.
While the growers have had much
to worry about during the harvest
this year, they have the satisfaction
of knowing that when the grapes do
finally reach the market, they will get
something for their trouble. Bulk
grapes have averaged $4,000 per ton,
and eight pound baskets around
twenty cents. With good weather
another week will practically see the
finish.

TRAVER COMPANY OF HART
FORD LOOKING UP PROSPECTS
WITH VIEW OF LOCATING
BRANCH HERE.
VALUABLE ASSET TO PAW PAW
Would Employ Large Force and Run
Steady From Cherries to Pears.
Large Acreage Would be Wanted.

The prospects are that Paw Paw
is to have real, honest-to-g goodness
canning factory. f. M. Bailey of the
Traver Canning factory of Hartford
has been in Paw Paw this week.
looking up the prospects for acreage.
and has met with considerable en-
couragement. He states that if sat-
isfactory arrangements can be made
for plant, and enough contracts can
be secured for acreage, The Traver
company will open a branch factory
here.
The word Canning Factory" to
Paw Paw people in recent years has
been Fighting Word" Heads
have grown gray, nights have been a
nightmare; pocket books have been
depleted and there has been wailing
and gnashing of teeth through the
dismal failure of the last canning
factory operations in Paw Paw. But
when a reputable and successful
business concern like the Traver
company of Hartford is ready to
talk business, it means something to
this community.
Mr.. Bailey states. that, should this
company come here, they would start
in the Cherries in the early summer,
and run the factory steady until the
last fruits were canned in the fall,
employing from fifteen to twenty-five
women during the entire season. They
would want contracts for at least one
hundred acres of Spinach, Tomatoes,
Corn and Beans, in addition to fruits
Of all varieties.
The Traver company is recognized
as one of the most successful insti-
tutions in its line in the country.
They do an immense business at the
Hartford factory, and it would be a
valuable asset to this community to
have ore of their factories located
here. A meeting of the business men,
should and undoubtedly will be called
at once to consider the proposition,
and offer the requisite encouragement
to land this enterprise. Farmers
without doubt will be ready and will
ing to make contracts for the re-
quisite acreage, to make fourishing
canning factory permanent business
institution of this community.
Thsre is no better location any
where for canning factory, and no
more desirable concern could be found
than The Traver company. Now is
the time to get together and do
business.

CONSERVATION OF FOOD
CAMPAIGN TO BE WAGED.

The women of Paw Paw are work
ing overtime this week for the Liber-
ty Loan campaign and are helping to
make our township do its share
success to them.
Next week, beginning October Goth,
will be Food week, and the loan of
money will be of little use unless
food is saved wherewith to use the
money. 1t is the desire of the Food
Administration to pledge our whole
population so far as may be to Food
conservation, and the women of Paw
Paw township are asked to pledge
themselves to self-sacrifice in wheat,
meat and sugar. We are not asked
to starve ourselves, we are told to
eat plenty, eat wisely, but not to
waste.
Every signer of pledge card will
receive a Home card to hang in a
front window showing the public that
the family living in that house is en-
rolled in the service of food conser-
walton, and an instruction card tell
ing why, how and what to save. So
when a worker asks a housewife to
sign a pledge card, do so willingly
and then faithfully carry out the in
tent of the pledge by daily practic-
ing economy in the use of the three
foods so necessary to the life of the
Allies-wheat, meat and sugar. Food
shortage is the problem to be solved
by the women in the American homes.
Let US earnestly endeavor to follow
out the plans of those whose busi-
ness it has been to study the situation
and outline a way for us to win the
war.

Twp. Chairman, Food Conservation.

CALL is MIGHTY URGENT NOW
AND THE SUBSCRIPTION LISTS
WILL CLOSE TOMORROW NIGHT
PAW PAW NEEDS $4,000
Fifty Thousnd Already Subscribed
Here, and Enough Should BE In
Tomorrow to Make the Full Quota.

This is the last call on the Liberty
Bond drive. Tomorrow night, there
will be a general checking up, and
the final figures will show whether
or not, the citizens of this United
States have responded to Uncle Sans
call as literally as he would like. A
mighty effort has been put forth all
over the country during the past
week, by patriotic citizens everywhere
to awaken the people to a realization
of the Importance of this Liberty
Loan. Men have given literally Of
their time and money to drive the
facts home to everybody. 1t is not
a gift for which people are asked
this time, it is simply a loan. A
$4,000 bond is worth more than five
ten dollar gold pieces, because there
will never be time when it will not
be worth the face value, and besides
it bears interest at the rate of four
per cent. 1t is simply case of loan
ing what money you can spare to
the government in it's hour of urgent
need.
In all probability the requisite
amount will be subscribed before to-
morrow night when the campaign
closes, but there is much work to be
done yet. In some localities, the quota
has been greatly over-subscribed
while in others considerable is needed
yet. Paw Paw has responded nobly,
but $1,000 more must be subscribed
before tomorrow night to make up
our full quota. The committee held
a meeting at the office of the chair
man, Glenn f. Warner on Tuesday
evening, and another one will be held
this evening. There has been up to this
time in round numbers the sum of
$4,000 subscribed. Practically all of
this amount has been subscribed by
residents of the village. Very little
has come in from the country. The
farmers Of course are all more than
busy, but they undoubtedly will all
want to do their "Bit", and it is con-
fidently expected that before to-
morrow night enough will be subscrib
ed from the country, together with
those of the village who have not yet
subscribed to at least bring the total
UP to the required amount of $4,000.
and possibly the figures may exceed
that amount. Surely every man has
heard the call, and surely there is
not one among us but who is willing
/. to do his duty. 1t is Uncle Sans
last call. If you have not already
subscribed for Liberty Bond, do it
now. Do it before tomorrow night.

WALLACE MAGUIRE PASSED
AWAY AFTER LONG ILLNESS

After lingering illness of about
a year, Wallace Mcguire passed away
at his home in this village last Tues
day. He was born in Almena township
on March 30th, 1862, and this COM
munity has always been his home.
Up until about four years ago, he
had lived on a farm west Of the will
age. At that time he moved to town.
About a year ago, he commenced to
fail, and grew gradually worse until
the end. For the past six weeks he
has been confined to the bed.
He was married May 5th, 1901 to
Miss Lizzie Graham of Decatur, and
to this union one child, Marguerite
now thirteen years of age was born.
A gradual hardening of the arteries
with ascending paralysis was the
cause of his death. Of the immediate
family who are left are the wife and
daughter, two brothers, John and
Adelbert of Paw Paw and one sister
Mrs. Maggie Lyle of Chicago. Wal
lace was most kind and indulgent
husband and father, good neighbor,
and splendid citizen. He will be
missed not only in the home circle
but in the community as well.

house this Friday afternoon at 200
o'clock. Rev. Hacker of the Christian
church will officiate and interment
will be in Prospect cemetery.

The Supervisors finished their
labors on Thursday Of last week after
ten days of strenuous work. 1t was
