Word has just been received of the
"home-going" of Miss Effie r. Hall,
a former resident OF Pow Paw, which
occurred at her home, 1868 Midway
Park, Chicago. January 18th. The
severity of the weather and uncertain
transportation condition. made it
next to impossible TO bring her re-
mains to hex Old home at that time,
in Forest Home Cemetery awaiting
a more suitable time for burial. The
date set for the funeral will be the
anniversary of her mothers burial.
The funeral will take place from the
Baptist church here Tuesday. April
23rd. Burial will be at the Wildey
cemetery where all but one sister
Elma Hall Woolf, is resting. 1t is
desired that all old friends and
neighbors be present. The deceased
was born in this township, on a farm
about three miles from this village.
At the age of eight, she, with her
sister Celia, united with the Baptist
church, with which denomination she
has always been affiliated and in
which she has been an earnest and
faithful worker. excepting at such
times as her health would prevent
her so doing, and even then, her
thoughts were always with he1
"Christian Home" and its workings
She will be remembered as a gener-
Gus, kind, obliging and sympathetic
neighbor in the different localities ir
which she has resided. With those
she really liked, she knew no limit
To her remaining sister with whom
she has been associated all but six
years of their lives, it has left a
vacancy which can never be filleda
heartache which can never be healed

Letter from Maurice Cole, Second
Lieutenant, Field Artillery D. X.
&. Somewhere in France" to his
Uncle, Postmaster III. A. Cole and
family

Uncle, postmaster II. "A. Cole ana
family.
Our present location is in one of
the oldest and most historic of the
French provinces. In French
history that l bought just today, for
instance, the picture at the beginning
of the first chapter is of an old "dol-
men,, or a Druid temple that dates
from several centuries B. c., and
which is located about two miles
from the school here. We went over
Sunday and took some pictures of it.
1t isn't much of temple as we re-
gard them, but just several hugh
stones piled in such a way as to
make a little room inside. / under
stand that in the olden days the
Druids would offer their human
sacrifices in these temples.
Then, too, the country is just full
Of old castles and chateaux. The
walls are several meters thick. and
very high. tapering windows through
which the archers used to shoot. the
drawbridge,. portcullis and moat and
usually a deep, dark dungeon and
heavy chains for the prisoners are
still dangling from the walls. Often
there are subterranean passages to
some distant place, and in one castle
/ was through, there was a long in
cline through which they would shoot
the bodies of tortured victims into
the river many meters below. A great
many of these old places are decay
ing and in a state Of disrepair. When
in such a condition they seem all the
more wonderful. They cover lot Of
ground and usually tower from some
prominent hill. Inside the walls you
will find the home of the lord, the
church, mill where the serfs would
bring their grain for grinding, and
then all around at the foot of the
wall the town is spread.
All buildings, even those of the
very poorest, are made of stone
blocks, as the hills about here are
filled with sand stone. Sometimes a
whole part of a town is carved right
out of the side Of stone cliff, just
as imagine the cliff-dwellers in our
own West used to live. The openings
| of these caverns are usually covered
with green vines and really make a
very pretty sight. Yesterday we
went through the estate Of more
modern chauteau and there was a
small chapel carved out of the rock
at the end of long shady path.
France, to me. seems more natur-
ally beautiful than England. although
| saw but little Of the latter. Eng
land was wonderful, very clean and
neat even in the country. All Eng
land seems like a park.
Tomorrow we spend the entire day
at the range. We shall go in big
auto trucks and after arriving will
spend the dav firing the guns and
practical work of that sort. Last
Sunday they put the clock ahead an
hour, so we work later at night.

The District Draft Board has
placed "Bill" Killefer in Class l A Of
the draft, which makes him subject
to call for the next quota. There is
gloom among the Cub fans of Chi
cago over the prospects, of losing the
star catcher of the league, but "Biii''
says that he is, ready when needed.
The Kalamazoo Gazette and Chicago
papers state that "The District Draft
Board placed Killefer in Class A.
on account of the fact that Van
Buren, county was far behind in its
quota" This statement is absolutely
false and is base slander on the
good name of Van Buren county and
the local Draft Board. Van Buren
county has furnished it's full quota
up to this time, and will continue to
do so just as long as fighting men
are needed for the army. Mr.. Potter,
chairman of the District Draft Board
is given as authority for the state
ment in the metropolitan dailies, but
Mr.. Potter. when questioned about
the interview, said:-"It is lie, /
never said it."

one, Of uniting with the counties Of
Cass and Berrien in the erection Of
Sanatorium for the treatment Of
tuberculosis cases from any Of the
three counties; the other, the procur-
ing Of a permanent visiting Nurse
for Van Buren, county. These mat
tors will be taken up at the Annual
Meeting which will occur sometime
in May. and some decision regarding
them will be reached: otherwise. the
money on hand can he invested in
Liberty Bonds until such time as tn"
Society shall be able to bring about
one Of these two objects.

COMPLETE COKE
OVENS IN JULY
Sixty Units to Be Added to
Fuel Burners at Local
Steel Plant

Word on sixty new coke ovens at
the local steel plant which has been
under way for many months will be
completed sometime in July, officials
of the local plant said this morning.
When these ovens are placed into
service there will be $50 ovens at
the plant
The next bunch of ovens is a unit
of the big Improvement program of
Charles Schwab. Shortly after the
Pennsylvania Steel Company was
taken over by the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation the improvement pro-
gram, including the addition of much
equipment, was announced.
The ovens which are being erected
by the II. Koppers Company, of
Pittsburgh, are of the modern type
and of a large capacity. With addi-
ton of the modern equipment, the
local plant will be able to turn out
enough fuel for it's own use and be
able to help out other plants of the
Schwab corporations in case of emer-
gency.
The large blast furnace which is
under the course of construction will
be completed sometime in August ii
was learned to-day. This furnace
will be among the largest in use to-
day and will be equipped with mod
ern apparatus. The furnace will be
known as No. A furnace.
Furnace No. 2 which has been re-
lined and rebuilt and was to have
been blown in several weeks ago is
still idle because of the scarcity OF
coke. Officials hope to have the fur
mace in operation in the next few
weeks.

ton of billion bushels, was forecast
yesterday by the Department of Agri-
culture in its June crop report, Civ
ing the first indication of the size of
this years spring wheat output.
Basing it's estimate on June l con-
ditions, the department forecast to-
tai wheat production of 931, 10000
bushels, which would place this
years harvest as the second largest
in the history of the country. Experts
OF the government, aiming for a bill
licn-bushel crop to help in feeding
the armies and civilian population of
the allies, pointed to the development
of the record crop of 1915 to sub
stantiate their hopes for crop equal
to that.
In June of 1915 total wheat pro-
duction of 950,000,000 bushels was
forecast, and the quantity gradually
crept. upward until the final figures
Tor the year showed the crop to be
i, 1,025. 100000.
Acreage Is Larger
The acreage sown to spring wheat
this year is larger by 100000 acres

cent larger than last years, aggre-
eating 22,489,000 acres. The condi-
tlon OF the crop on June l was 95.z
per cent. of a normal, or 1.5 per cent
better than the 10-year average. A
production. of 344,000,O00 bushels
was forecast. That is III, 100000
bushels more than harvested las
year, and only about 100000 bush.
els less than the record spring whea'
harvest of 1915.
Winter wheat, growing on the sec.
ond largest acreage ever planted
showed a condition per cent. better
than the 10-year average, with S3.S
per cent. of normal. A production
of S7,000,000 bushels was forecast
which is 100000 bushels more
! than forecast from conditions exist
ing May 1. Such a crop would be the
third in size grown in this country.
