SELLS THE ENTIRE POTATO
CROP FOR $2.25 PER BUSHEL

Last Fall when Tom Woodman
harvested his potato crop, he was
offered $1.90 per bushel for them.
Older heads advised Tom to sell them
at that figure. MANY of the growers
had sold for less, some as low as
$1.60.) Tom, however thought he
ought to have $500 per bushel, and
said if he could not get that figure
he would hold them. Ever since that
time, wise growers have been feeling
sorry for Tom and telling lin stage
whisper of course, so that he could not
hear IT'D what,a mistake he had made.
Too bad etc etc. Tom however has
been taking it easy thank you, and
not worrying bit. None Of the wise
ones can now say to him, 81 told you
so" for he sold the entire crop of some
thing over two thousand bushels, the
first of the week for 1925 per bushel.
Some Jackson party gets them.
About seven hundred bushels in the
cellar are to be delivered soon, and
those in the pits later, when it is safe
to open them. Who says it doesn't
pay to be farmer. That is a real
live farmer, with head and mind
of your own.

MOI So WITH OUR
RURAL CARRIERS
Paw Paw Carriers Do Not Know
What 1t Is To Turn Back. All
Make Entire Route Every Day.

During a blizzard such as Van
Buren, county has passed through for
the past two weeks, it is quite COM
mon to find in the weekly papers Of
the county, an item stating the
storm was so severe or the roads so
bad that the rural mail carriers were
unable to make their routes" Not
so in Paw Paw. During all the
severe weather of the past winter,
every carrier from the Paw Paw
office has made his entire route every
day. Storm or sunshine both look
alike to the Paw Paw rural carriers.
at can't be done" has no place in
their vocabulary. This is not only
true this winter, but every winter.
No post office in the United States
has more faithful, conscientious,
loyal bunch of rural carriers than
the Paw Paw office. We sometimes
wonder if the patrons all appreciate
the service given by such loyal public
servants. we UtllcNc tlldI iiiOot VI
them do. The next time you read
about some mail carrier starting out
and being compelled to turn around
and return on account Of the condition
of the roads, just remember that it is
not that way with your carrier. He
comes anyway, no matter what may
be the condition of the roads, and
when he finally gets to your place and
delivers the mail, just tell him how
you appreciate his service. Bring him
out little lunch, dozen or SO OF
eggs, chicken or something like that
just to show him you appreciate the
very best mail carrier in Uncle Sans
service.
The names of the carriers from the
Paw Paw Office who are giving sucl
valiant service are as follows:-Route
1, Bert Douglas; Route 2, David r
Thayer; Route 8, David Burke; Route
4, John 'McFarlin, Route 5, Johr
Youngs; Route 6, Louis Dorsterwitz.

LORD / WISH / WAS OVER
IN AMERICA SAYS SOLDIER

The writer recently saw a letter
written from the battle front, "Some
where in France" dated January 1st
1917, and received by resident Of
Van Buren, county, which contained
these words:-
you're a wise old bird. Take my
tip. America is the best place these
days. Don't go out and be patriotic,
it's no good. That's, from one who
knows. I've had ten months now
motor cycling out here, and it is
honestly speaking, impossible to des-
cribe the mud, the perpetual rains
and the shells etc etc. Good Lord,
l wish / was in America"
The above advice was good, but
wasted on the recipient of this letter,
for he has seen service in the British
army during the Boer war, and knows
something about it.
The letter from which the above
was clipped, had been censored as in
dicated by slip pasted over the end
of envelope. But how it slipped
through containing sentiments which
ordinarily would be considered
reasonable, is mystery.

WHIT MADE GRAB FOR GRIP
AND DREW PRIZE PACKAGE

Wint Reynolds started on his tour
of the South and West last Monday
and got away with flying start. He
took the 600 A. M. train at Paw
Paw for Lawton, reached that station
safely and set his grip down in the
station He had only few minutes
to wait for the M. c. train, and when
the shrill whistle on the engine SCUM :
ed, reached down, grabbed grip and
made for the train. Of course it
would not be like Wint to look and
see whether or not he was getting
his own grip. When the train was
we'll on the way to Chicago however,
he discovered that he had in his
haste picked up some workman's suit
case, filled with dirty working
clothes. We were not with him at
the time, but it is a safe bet, that
the discovery of the error did not in
the least disturb Wint's peace of
mind, or the good time that he has

NO SPLIT BETWEEN WILEY
AND ANTI-SALOON FORCES

Lansing, Mich, Feb. 12.-"The
story that breach had occurred be-
tween Representative Wiley and the
Anti-Saloon League is absolutely
without foundation" declared Grant
M. Hudson, Superintendent Of the
League, today. "There has not been
even disagreement about details for
dry legislation"
Talk of a split in the dry forces
of the legislature is positively silly,"
said a member of the House LIQUOR
Committee, to which the dry bills
have been referred. He added; "The
committeeman are studying the bills
by sections, and collecting all pos
sible information, preparatory to the
public hearings, which will take place
before a report is made. The dry
majority in the House is trying to de-
termine upon the best possible bill
and that is the kind Of bill that will
be passed.a
