BILL KILLEFER GREATEST
BACK STOP IN THE GAME.

Bill Killefer is the mainstay in the
Philadelphia Nationals, and the great
est backstop in the game today accord
ing to the sport writer's and critics of
Philadelphia. In a recent issue of a
Philadelphia paper a double column
was devoted to this star player, our
own Bill, and one Of the most glowing
tributes paid to him that any player
ever received" Few realize" says the
writer, chat it is Killefer's brain and
his arm that is turning back the
foe" Killefer has been doing wonder
full work this year. Very few bases
are stolen off him, and opposing play
ers hug the bases closely for fear of
snappy accurate throws. He goes
after everything and fields his position
as no one else can. His aggressive
spirit, his judgment in handling pitch
ers, his nerve in tight places and his
quick accurate diagnosis Of a play
makes him the most valuable man on
the team. The writer in question
gives Killefer the honor of being the
greatest catcher in the business today.
The base ball fans of Paw Paw are
proud of Bill and only regret that they
cannot see him in action.

UNIFORMS FOR THE HOME
GUARD MICH. STATE TROOPS.

Lansing, May 28,-A uniform which
il distinctive and military has been
prescribed for the Michigan State
Troops, Home Guard department. 1t
does not conflict with the provisions
Of the law against unauthorized use
OF the uniforms of the army. 1t con-
sists of gray campaign hat, peaked;
an olive drab cotton blouse, which
differs from the regulation blouse as
it has no upper pockets and does not
have two Norfolk pleats running
from front to back over the shoulders
olive drab cotton riding breeches,
laced at the knee, with side pockets
and no hip pockets; canvas leggins;
and russet army shoes. All buttons
will be dull bronze and will bear the
seal of the state.
The orders have been issued for the
above from the Office of the comman-
der of the Home uuard, who also an
nounces that rifles are not available
at the present. He has appealed to
the government for Krag rifles and
has been refused, as the Krags are
held for an emergency. 1t is promised
that full information will be sent
Home Guard companies o legislation
pending in Congress to equip COM
panies with rifles.
Home Guardsmen are advised tn
borrow sporting rifles or to have the
communities buy them. They are
warned not to get high power rifles,
which are dangerous for city use be-
cause of the great velocity of the am
munition. "Get rifles using lead
bullets with black powder" advises
the circular.
The names of Michigan houses sup
plying uniforms and shoes are given
in the circular. A number of the
Home Guard companies are preparing
to buy uniforms, arms and equipment.

Paw Paw patrons high class enter
tainment at moderate price. The
patronage is increasing every night,
which is very gratifying to the mana
gor. If you are not already patron

Mrmurtal Day Irnrlantattnn
Ru tlrp 6ulrrrttnr

Well-nigh three score years have
passed since our fathers took up
arms for the cause of the Union.
That was righteous war, a holy war.
1t was waged for unity and liberty
and human happiness. -Four years
the conflict ragged. Then came the
end, and the Union was saved and the
slaves were set free. Some of those
who fought in that war are with US
yet, though fast diminishing COM
pany. Year by year their ranks now
grow thinner. One by one their COM
rades leave them.
For many years our people have
gone forth on Memorial day to place
flowers on the graves of those veter-
ans of the great Civil War who have
gone beyond, and to pay tribute of
respect to those who still remain. 1t
is a beautiful custom. May the time
never come when it shall die out.
May this generation, and the genera
tions yet to come, never forget what
they owe to the brave men who fought
their battles for them.
This year Memorial day has an
especial significance. With most of
us, up to this time, the observance of
the day has been more or less per-
functory. We have scarcely realized
it's meaning. Today that meaning is
brought home to us through the grim
reality of war. The world at war!
Three years ago we scoffed at the
suggestion. 1t could not be. The
thing was unthinkable; but the i'm
possible happened. The great powers
across the sea came to death-grips
Mems hearts melted within them. In
Europe a deep seated earth quake
seemed to heave up the basis of civil
life, and the tribunals of men, anC
the thrones Of monarchs, and the tenn
pies Of God were shaken to>She lowest
atom of their structure. Still we
hoped that our own land would fare
free. Neutral we would remain, and
go calmly about our peaceful pur-
suits. 1t was not to be. The men.
ace to human freedom became toe
frightful; and today we are at war
Our sons are being drafted. Our
daughters are enlisting under the
Red Cross banner. From ocean tt
ocean the nation is girding up its
loins for the fray.
This too is a righteous war. We
did not want war. We did our best
to keep out of war; but there was M
escape from the situation. The rights
of the neutrals were being contemp.
tuously disregarded. The freedom OF
the seas was being denied US. Ameri-
can citizens were being slaughtered

in defiance Of international law and
all the rules of civilized warfare.
Democracy was slowly being thrott-
led and our very existence asia free
nation was being threatened. This
ruthless war rang out a strident
challenge to our manhood. Our cause
shen is just cause. It is the cause
OF human freedom. We stand up for
the rights of humanity and fling out
a banner to the nations. God grant
that out of this universal conflict, out
of the sacrifice of blood and tears
and treasure, the world may come
forth with a cleaner, purer soul.
Therefore, that we may pay tri-
butte of affection and esteem to the
surviving veterans of the Civil War
and of the Spanish-American War,
and honor the memory of those who
gave up their lives to our cause,
Albert E Sleeper, Governor of the
State of Michigan, do hereby issue
this, my proclamation, and sincerely
urge the observance of Wednesday,
May thirtieth, nineteen hundred and
seventeen, as Memorial Day.
And | earnestly request the people
of our State to assemble themselves
together in their various communities
ties, and, by appropriate public exer-
cises and in other fitting ways, to OBJ
serve this day as solemn Memorial
festival. suggest, as one means of
observing the day, that bells be tolled
from 1900 o'clock noon until 1905
p. M. and that all citizens stand with
uncovered heads during this period.
Flags should be displayed at half
staff until noon and then hoisted to
the top of the staff.
further suggest that this day be
set apart as day in which, so far
as possible, the ordinary courses of
business shall be suspended and in
which we shall give ourselves to med
itation and prayer, imploring the God
of our Fathers to inspire us with a
steadfast faith and a watchful cour-
age, and so to guide us, by His own
wise Providence, that we may be able
to keep for righteousness and free
dom this land which was dedicated to
righteousness and consecrated to free
dow.
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal of the State, this eighteen
tn day of May, in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and
seventeen, and of the Commonwealth
