have a large Christmas tree set up
somewhere on Main street at least a

and to have open air exercises near
this tree on Christmas eve. Mr..

them. 1t was voted to urge our

SCHOOL NOTES
LeLa Bates, rs.

The High School Band rendered a
program in the high school assembly
room last Wednesday afternoon which
was one of the finest they have ever
given. The fourth, fifth and sixth
grades were the guests of the high
school at this time.
The high school may yet be repre-
sented by Basket ball team this
year. Recent developments have lead
to the consideration of the store build
ing which was occupied by the Haw-
ley & Warner stock. This would be
a splendid place to play in many
ways, as it furnishes place of ade-
quate heating facilities. This is the
principal objection to the Rink.
The noon lunches which are being
served by the Domestic Science de-
partment continue to be very popular
with the pupils who come from out
side of the village. Every noon the
domestic science room is crowded and
the department has recently added

more equipment to be able to give
this accommodation to more of the
pupils. To Miss Marshall goes all
the credit for the success of this ven
ture. Her other duties have been
greatly enlarged this year due to the
fact that a third more pupils are en-
rolled in this department than last
year.
The Thanksgiving vacation was not
productive from our correspondents
point of view, and our column must
go untitled this week. Next week
we'll be back with our usual number

WAR SERMONS AT
THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

One of the largest congregations
that has greeted the pastor of the
Baptist church during his ministry
in Paw Paw at the regular morning
service was present last Sunday to
hear the first of the series of war
sermons. The discourse was an an
swer to the question which is troub-
ling so many people, namely. If
there is a God who exercises provi-
Dental control in the universe which
he has created how can we account
for all the unanswerable horrors of
the present ravaging war? The pas
tor said that Gods providence always
respects human freedom and never
coerces mans will. Man may choose
to do many things which displeases
God. The war is the result of the
free actions of men. Providential
control in human affairs, therefore,
not accomplished by the coercion of
mans will, but by the use of means
which win the consent of mans will.
Among the means which God thus
uses, are what is called providential

CAPTAIN OF THE COMMISSARY.

The county agents constitute Amer
lean agriculture's first line of defense.
They are the men in the first line
trenches, zealously guarding the far
rnels' interests and bringing to his
attention all that is of immediate
practical value in our scientific teach
ing, and fortifying this with results
from the expe,1elce Of the most sue
ccssful hard headed practical farmers
of each county.
At a time like the present, when
the nation is engaged in great war
wherein food production is of vital
military importance, the value Of the
county agent to the Government can
hardly be over emphasized.
Since the United States became
belligerent, the county agent has
done valiant war service. In coun-
tries having agents, it is possible dur
ing the past summer to secure truly
wonderful results, in quickly and ade-
quately meeting difficult labor stu
alton; in locating available stocks;
in arranging for farm credits for the
purchase of machinery and fertilizer;
in supplying tractor power, and IN
other forms of effective leadership,
all contributing to great increase in
the production of spring wheat, oats,
corn, potatoes and other food crops
and finally in assisting in facilitating
marketing.
Some of the most important battles
of this war will be won during 1918
in the burrows and fields of America.
The county agents will be the Cap
tains of the soldiers Of the Commits
sary who will make these victories
possible.
