HOE BETTER THAN GUN

Shots From q State Rangers RevoI-
yer Had No Effect Upon Bear.
Even as the pen Is mightier than the
sword, so is the grubbing hoe mightier
than the gun.
Citizens at Detroit, Ore, have dem
onstrated this. A 200-pound bear
dropped In on war garden, driven
from the woods by forest fire.
A state ranger emptied his. revolver
at the bear. but bruin didn't seem to
mind It at all. Then the war garden
er walloped the bear with grubbing
hoe and the beastie keeled over,
turned up hfs toes and "Quit."

Struggled Out Of Country by a
Near Relative.
INVITATIONS LEFT IN PLACE
When Revolution Began to Rock
Country Empress Summoned Crown
JeweIer, Had Gems Taken From
Settings and Replaced by Paste
Emlssary Carries Them to Gar
Ina's PaternaI KInsmen In Germany.

How the Russian crown Jewels were
smuggled out of the empire and saved
to the house of Romanoff from the pill.
lage and confiscation Of the revolution
Il a romantic story told in Chicago by
. Russian Of noble blood who escaped
from his native country by way of
vladivostok and recently arrived in
the United States.
The imperial jewels are among the
worlds largest collections. In dia-
monds and pearls alone they are
worth many millions of dollars. Dia-
monds and pearls are now regarded
as among the safest means Of conserv-
ing money. The war has more than
doubled their value and jewelers. de-
clare their price will increase for sew
eral years after the war. So when
the revolution began to rock the Rus
sian throne, the czarina's first thought
was to save the crown jewels to in
sure her family against the threat
ened period of misfortune.
Removed in Secret.
She summoned the crown jeweler
secretly by night to the palace Of
Tzarkoe-Selo. There under her per-
sonal supervision he removed all the
gems from their settings and replaced
them with paste limitations. Then en-
ploying one of her near relatives as
an emissary, she smuggled the collec-
ton out Of Petrograd on naval ves-
eel. Through Sweden and Denmark
the special messenger finally made his
way into Germany and delivered the
jewels to the czarina's paternal kins-
men in Hesse-Darmstadt There the
gems now repose in safety in the treas
ury Of the principality.
For a long time no one In Russia
not In the secret knew the gems had
been removed. The imperial collec-
tion ostensibly continued to be kept
on public display under military
guard In Tzarkoe-Selo palace. Thou
sands viewed it and no one suspected
that the resplendent ornaments were
mere worthless limitations. 2
Some Notable Gems.
Among the Salvaged Jewels were the
famous black pearl Of Catherine II
and the historic Orloff diamond weigh
ing 194sz 'carats. The Orloff was stol-
en- originally by soldier from the eye
Of statue of Buddha in Hindu tenn
pie. 1t was bought by Prince Orloff,
one of the favorites of Catherine III
for half million dollars and present
ed to the empress. The Orloff and the
Kohinoor, which blazes in the crown of
are thought to be parts of the
Great Mogul magnificent Indian dia-
mond which disappeared mysteriously
in the seventeenth century.
Gar Nicholas is dead, but If the
czarina has not shared his fate, as
has been reported, she may yet re-
claim the imperial jewels and with
them re-establish the fortunes of her
family.

of this county to subscribe the sum
of $500 per year to finance it? The

Liberty Loans and one big Stamp

other big loan will be asked in Oct

HENRY FORD CONSENTS

While the people in general in
Michigan have manifested no special
inclination to rave over politics this
year, the announcement that Henry
Ford has yielded to the presidents
entreaties and will enter the sena-
torial race, has caused considerable
commotion. The announcement is
received as a ludicrous joke in some
sections, and viewed with alarm in
others.
The most deplorable feature of the
whole situation is the fact, taking
the Auto Kings own words for it,
that President Wilson has condecen-
ded to enter the realm of Michigan
State politics in an effort to name
the next United States senator from
this state. Mr.. Ford says in his an
nouncement that, "At the request of
the President of the United States,
have decided to accept the nomination
for Senator from Michigan if tender
ed to me-" If the President of the
United States then is not guilty of
the charge of pernicious political act
ivity in Michigan in times Of war,
then Mr.. Ford is responsible for the
allegation, and should be severely re-
primanded. 1t is true that democrat
ic leaders of this state are respon-
sible for Mr., Fords entry in the sem
atorial race, but not single demo-
crat or republican either. who has
taken the trouble to ascertain the ex-
tent of Mr.. Ford's mental equipment,
would acknowledge that he has a
single qualification (unless it be his
wealthy for the United States. Senate.
A cartoon in last weeks issue of the
Detroit Saturday night, represents
the situation just as it is. 1t shows
Mr.. Ford seated in his auto, and the
President of the United States, pro-
pounding this question, xviii you &c
my Rubber Stamp? A Rubber
Stamp" is just exactly what Mr..
Ford would be to the President and
Democratic party should he be NOM
mated and elected.
From a purely selfish political as
pect, no one can blame the democratic
party for its shrewd manipulation to
name the next senator from Mich
igan. But from standpoint of
patriotic service with the interests Of
the state and nation at heart, their
action is open to caustic criticism, If
the administration was sincere In the
statement that politics at the White
House is Adjourned: If the leaders
were sincere and had the good of the
nation in mind when they made the
proposal that both parties unite on
man for the senate to eliminate
political campaign this year when the
fate of the nation hangs in the bal
ance, then why in the name of COM
mon sense did they not name one of
the really big men of the state for
this high and important office? Why
of all the men in Michigan who are
a thousand times better equipped for
this service should it be Henry Ford ?
Considerable capital is made Of
the fact that Alex Groesbeck, Attor-
ney General of the State, has endor-
sed Mr.. Ford's candidacy. Mr.. Groes-
beck's endorsement is no surprise to
those who are familiar with Wayne
County politics. Mr.. Groesbeck al
ways has a political bee buzzing, and

The Annual Year Book and Pre-
MUM list of the Van Buren, county
fair is out. One of the interesting
features of the book this year, is an
imprint on the cover showing that it
was printed and bound in the city of
Fort Wayne, Indiana. Heretofore
this book has been published from
the Hartford Day Spring office. We
are not advised as to the reason it
was not done there this year, but it
would seem to a newspaper man
that the county fair officials used
mighty poor judgment in sending out
OF the county to have this work done.
There are several offices in Van
Buren, county that are equipped to do
job of that kind. Every paper in
the county is booster for the coun-
ty fair, and it is through the medium
of the county press that the fair
officials expect to give the big event
the publicity it merits. 1t is true
that every paper gets some paid
advertising, but the most valuable
of all the advertising the fair gets,
is the column after column of "free
matter" which every paper freely and
gladly prints. The Hartford Fair is
Van Buren, County institution and
, is indebted in no small degree to the
press of the entire county for the
success it has attained from year to
year since its inception. The True
Northerner does not take this atti-
tude from purely selfish motives.
But the Van Buren, county fair gets
no publicity from job Office in Fort
Wayne, and it would seem that print
ing for the county fair should not be
sent out of the county on which it
depends for its success, until the
home newspapers and job Offices have
at least had an opportunity to sub
NIT bid for the work. "Spend your
money among those upon whom you
depend for patronage" is mighty
good motto in any line of business.
