ONLY ONE MOVIE SHOW FOR
PAW PAW. DECKER SELLS OUT

Announcement was made through
the press last week that the old Idle
Hour theatre on Main street would
soon open, and at that time it was
supposed that Paw Paw would again
have two rival movie shows. Not so
however. Manager Decker has sold
the Opera House Movie to Mr.. Reeves
and Tuesday night was MS last night
in the Movie business. Mr. Decker
has worked hard and done MS best to
give the Paw Paw patrons the best
features on the market. He desires
to express through these columns his
gratitude for the loyalty and patron
age of the people of this community.
His good will goes with the business
to Mr.. Reeves who will soon open the
Main street show. He is an experien-
ced man in the business and promises
the Paw Paw people the best in the
movie features. A force OF men have
been at work for some time getting
the place in readiness and we bespeak
for Mr.. Reeves the success which his
show will merit.

SAME NUMBER OF MARRIAGE
LICENSES ISSUED IN 3 MONTHS
AS SAME MONTHS LAST YEAR.
RUSH FOR NATURALIZATION
More Declarations Filed in Three
Months Than During al of Last
Year. German Subjects Pre-
dominate.

Much is said in the papers of the
land about the so-called "Slackers",
in other words young men who flock
to the clerks office for marriage licen-
ses, in the hopes of avoiding service
IN the army. We are inclined to
think that these reports are eXaggera-
ted, ;: Least there are no "slackers"
in Van Buren county as the records
of the county clerks office will testify.
Further than we know of at least
one young man whose wedding day
was set, and instead of Fastening the
day, he has deferred it until after the
war, and has already taken steps to
receive military training preparatory
to enlistment. Such, we believe, is
the spirit of young men everywhere,
and while fond mothers cannot keep
back the tears when she bids her boy
good bye, down in her heart she is
proud of him, and she rejoices through
the tears that her son is no Stacker"
The number of marriage licenses
issued in Van Buren county in Febr-
uary 1916 was fourteen; March eigh-
teen and April, twenty. Total for the
three months fifty-two.
The number issued in February of
this year was eleven; March twenty
three; April, eighteen, Total for the
three months fifty-two. The same
number were issued then during those
three months as were issued during
the corresponding months of last
year. Verify there are no "slackers"
in Van Buren, county.
There is noticeable difference
however during the two years in the
number of applications for naturali-
zation. During the entire year Of
1916 there were fourteen declarations
or first papers filed, while during the
first four months of the present year
thirty-two have been filed. An excess
of eighteen over the entire year of
1916.
Of the thirtytwo declarations filed
during the past four months, nineteen
were subjects Of Germany.
The number of petitions for Natural
ization, filed during the entire year
of 1916 were nine, while the total
number filed during the past four
months is thirteen.
These statistics show that there is
a marked tendency on the part of
foreign born citizens, now at their
native countries are at war, to declare
their allegiance to the country and
the flag whose protection they now
claim.

PATRIOTIC WINDOW OF FIRE
ARMS AND WAR IMPLEMENTS

The east window of the Paw Paw
Drug Co. store is attracting consider
able attention. 1t is draped with the
stars and stripes, and filled with old
fire arms of every kind and discript
ion. Sabers, swords and other inn
plements of war are also there. One
feature is a wedding coat of revolu-
tionary days. 1t is home spun grey,
lining of pure linen and adorned with
brass buttons. The coat is probably
about a hundred and seventy-fve
years old. Any of the readers of The
True Northerner who have any old
army relics that would add interest
to the display would confer a favor
to the Paw Paw Drug Company and
also to the community by loaning the
same for the collection, which will
probably be kept in the window until
after Decoration day at least.

CLUB ENJOY THE
DAY AT JOHN WOODMAN'S.

A jolly bunch of farmers and wives
conveyed by glittering autos appeared
informally at the home of John Wood
man on Saturday last, at eleven
A. M. Although the day was cold
and cloudy with the shadows of war
lowering DER them, friendly conver-
sation shortened the time until the
noon hour, when partners were chosen
for dinner. The feast carefully pre-
pared by the host and hostess, assist
ed by the committee Mr.. and Mrs.
Arley Lyle and Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
Woodman was one not easily forgot
ten. The decorations of sweet peas
and American flags added to the
charm of the occasion. After another
hour Of friendly relaxation, the meet
ing was called to order by the presi-
dent, and the hour was pleasantly and
profitably spent in the discussion of
the following subjects: Immediate
hired help, by Earl Bangs, Tar treat
ment of fence posts, by Carl Buskirk;

Mrs. Lola Buskirk followed by dis
cussion. The meeting was concluded

JOHN YOUNG LEAVES. MAIL
SERVICE, Is GOING SOUTH.

John Young, rural mail carrier on
route No. 5 from the Paw Paw office
for the past twelve years made his
last trip on the route last Tuesday.
He will leave with his family next
week for Lynchburg, Virginia, where
he expects TO make his future home.
He has three hundred acre farm
there and is anxious to get to work
on it. Mr.. Young has been a faith
full employee of Uncle Sam. Sunshine
and storm, deep snow or bare roads
have all looked alike to him during
all these years Of service. He leaves
a host of friends not only among the
patrons on the route, but everywhere
in the community, who regret his de-
cision to leave Paw Paw. The True
Northerner joins with them however
in best wishes for him and his in the
new home. Substitute carrier Mrs.
Clara Hayden will serve the patrons
of Route 5 until regular carrier has
been appointed.

ANNUAL TAX SALES DREW
GOOD CROWD ON TUESDAY.

The annual tax sales were held at
the Treasurer's office last Tuesday.
A fair attendance of bidders from all
over the county was present, and
Treasurer Duncombe reports the sale
of about $1,700 worth of property.
This is about $1,000 less than were
sold last year. About the same
amount of property was advertised as
last year, but more people came in,
paid the taxes and redeemed their
property than last year. Practically
all the property advertised was sold.
Just few pieces of little value was
left. These will revert to the state.

and sent to the barracks at Columbus,
Ohio, for training. A telegram re-

ever said that he had been rejected
by the examining officer there, and
was on his way home. We understand
that a slight defect in eyesight caused

BAND is PLANNING SERIES [.
OF FIVE STREET CONCERTS

The High School band desire to ex-
press through the columns of The
True Northerner their gratitude and
appreciation to Merle Fl. Young, H. A.
Sherman, Blaine Warner, A. w.
Showerman and II. l.. Mcneil for
their generosity in furnishing auto
mobiles to carry the boys to Kalama-
zoo several weeks ago. These gentle
men deserve a good share of the credit
the band feels, for offering their SER
vices without compensation at the
Kalamazoo Patriotic rally.
The band is now planning a series
of five concerts this Spring to be
given on Wednesday nights, each con-
cert to be given at different point
on Main street. The boys are asking
all who are interested in their pro-
gress to subscribe some amount for
each concert. The band needs money
for running expenses and for future
contingencies necessary to the opera
tion of a successful band. The boys
have been practicing all winter faith
fully under the direction of their
efficient instructor. Prof. Gottheimer
and are now ready with number of
fine programs. Surely Paw Paw will
subscribe literally in appreciation of
what the boys have done in the past,
and in anticipation of the fine con-
certs to come later.
