PRODUCTION AND CONSERVA-
TION MUST BE WATCHWORDS

Governor Sleeper has issued a
proclamation naming Friday, May
4th, as Arbor and Garden Day. He
dwells upon the necessity this year of
utilizing every available foot of
ground, and most earnestly desires
that both young and old throughout
our state may be impressed with the
needs of the situation, and may be
stimulated not only to plant trees, as
has been the custom on Arbor Day
but to plant their garden plots with
potatoes, corn and beans and other
nutritious vegetables. We are threat
ened with the greatest shortage in
our history, he says, and it may be
that disaster can be averted only by
utilizing for planting purposes every
available foot of ground. PRODUCT.
ION AND CONSERVATION-These
should be our two great watchwords
this year, urges the Governor.

RECEIVES PTTIFUL LETTER
FROM SISTER IN NORWAY.

The following clipping from letter
written by Mrs. Lillian Burt illness
in Christiana, Norway on March 18th,
to her brother Alva Burt of this place
will give readers of The True North
erner some idea Of the desperateness
of the situation in the European coun-
tries. Mrs. illness was formerly a
resident of Paw Paw, and is a gradu-
ate of the Paw Paw schools. She is
a missionary in that country as is also
her husband. They have family of
five children, and the sentiment ex-
pressed in the letter is indeed pitiful:
81 have thought so much about you
lately, but / have not written any
letters to America since the German
blockade last February, for the Nor
wegian Post has declined to receive
mail to America for the ships had to
lay up and there was no way of send
ing it. 1t is doubtful if you get this
but want to send you few words,
perhaps for the last time. For if
America comes up in war, we small
nations on this side of the water, must
starve. We have neither food nor
fuel for third of the population. 1t
is still cold with deep snow and we
have so little to burn. We have been
so glad as long as America kept out
of it, but when New York harbor is
closed for all boats from these small
nations that get nearly all of our food
from America, we will have nothing
to eat, but in God we Trust"

SCHOOL BOARD WOULD RENT
FIVE ACRE PLOT TO BE DIvID-
ED AND ASSIGNED TO PUPILS
OF GRADES.
PUPILS TO HAVE PRODUCE
Plan is Worthy of Enthusiastic CO.
operation of Parents. Benefits of
Inestimable Value.

Superintendent Kaye Is planning,
with the cooperation of the School
Board mighty important feature for
the local schools.
The plan is to rent a plot of about
five acres of land near the school
house for garden cultivation. The
land would be put in condition for
planting, and divided off into small
parcels of by 2, A and A by 8 rods.
Members of the grades from the third
to twelfth would be assigned one of
these plots, on the condition that he
would plant, cultivate and harvest the
products of his garden. The profits
derived therefrom would belong to the
pupil who did the work.
The school would have the benefit
of the assistance and advice of Farm
Agent Farrant, Prof. Gottheimer and
possibly State club leader, Linder-
meyer of the Extension department
of the M. A. c. in getting organized
and started
The pupils could enter their pro-
ducts in the competition for prizes
offered by Judge Des Voignes at the
Van Buren County Fair, and there
is possibility of some local COM
petition scheme for prizes as an added
incentive.
Superintendent Kaye reports that a
number of cards returned by the
pupils were unsigned by the parents,
which would indicate that some do not
understand the advantages of the
scheme. We can think of nothing
that would be of such lasting benefit
to the pupil as work OF this kind dur
ing the summer. The pupil WHO has
garden of his own would have some
responsibility. He would have some
occupation that would keep him from
| idleness at least a part of the-Scime.
and the training obtained in one of
the most useful and healthful of all
occupations would be of inestimable
value. The plan should meet the
approval, and have the enthusiastic
co-operaton of every parent who is
a patron of the Paw Paw schools.

ULAR SEMI-WEEKLY DRILLS
ARE BEING HELD.
MARK CHAFFEE IS CAPTAIN
Veteran of Spanish american War
Selected to Head New Company.
Eligibles to be Mustered In.

y Paw Paw is the first of any place
in Southwestern Michigan to organize
a volunteer military company. A
notice was given through the local
press last week for meeting to be
held at the Racket Store on Friday
evening for that purpose. Nearly
two hundred citizens of Paw Paw and
vicinity responded, and it was most
enthusiastic and patriotic meeting.
Prof. Gottheimer, band leader and in
structor hastily summoned the men,
bers of the high school band and add
ed to the interest of the meeting with
patriotic airs throughout the evening.
y M. H. Young was called to the
= chair as master of, ceremonies. Ad-
dresses were made by Mayor Glenn f.

and others. The purpose of the meet
ing was explained, and Mark Chaffee
unanimously elected as captain of the
y company. Fifty-five men signed their
names to the roster at this meeting.
captain Chaffee announced his select
ion of Bennett McKinstry as First
lieutenant and Frank Miller second
lieutenant. The roll was then called,
and headed by the band the newly
organized company went out on the
pavement for their first drill.
NThe company met again on Tuesday
evening for the second drill, when
. additional enrollments were made to
bring the roster up to a total of
NAinety- y-seven. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that by another week, fully
two hundred members will have joined
the company.

' sufficient to insure a full company of
those who are eligible for enlistment
they will be mustered into the service
and the remaining portion of the COM
