THE SUGAR WASTE
IN COFFEE AND TEA

The following bulletin was among
the most forceful and effective bits of
conservation propaganda at the New
York Food Show last month. 1t was
put out by the National Sugar Re-
fining company of New Jersey.
= "Save the waste.i
zone hundred million cups of coffee
used daily in the United States.
"One hundred and seventy million
cups of tea and coffee.
Seventy million cups tea used
daily in the United States.
"If even an average of half tea
spoonful of sugar per cup is left un-
dissolved at the bottom of cups of
tea and coffee, the waste would be
1 100000 pounds of sugar daily.
Stir your sugar until it dissolves!
1t is estimated that one-third to one
half of all sugar used in homes is
used in tea and coffee. Think it over
how is it in your home? Isn't
there a chance for saving?

If any person had been audacious
enough to have ventured a prediction
one year ago today, that automobile
drivers and owners would cheerfully
comply with simple request of the
government and leave their cars in
the barn on a Sunday to effect
saving of gasoline, he would have
been heralded as a joke in the COM
munity in which he lived. Such has
come to pass however, and what a
striking example it is of the won
derful spirit of loyalty and patriotism
that permeates and animates the
hearts of the American people today.
There were no orders made, just a
simple request OF the Federal Fuel
Administrator through the columns
of the daily papers, that all Auto
owners and drivers refrain from the
use of cars for pleasure purposes on
Sunday. The request was made in
the middle of the week, and carried
with it, some reasons why 1T was
necessary to conserve gasoline, and
that it was a war measure. That
was all the American people wanted
to know and the first Sunday after
the request was made a strict COM
pliance with the government request
was almost universal. Of course
here and there a car was to be seen
which was to all appearances
pleasure trip, but even at that it may
have been an absolute necessity, and
then again the driver of such car
may possibly not have been apprised
of the government request. The most
wonderful part of this strict COM
pliance, is the cheerfulness with
which it was done. There is no criti-
cism: and no suggestion as to some
better method to conserve gasoline.
The American people as a whole are
ready to comply with any request
and all they need to know, is that it
is to Help Win the War. Such is the
spirit of America today, and such is
the spirit that will carry the stars
and stripes to victory on the blood
stained battle fields of a foreign land.

COLE-ROOT MUPTIALS

The home Of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. L.
Cole of Paw Paw, was the scene of a
quiet wedding, Tuesday, September
3rd, when their daughter Myrtle May
became the bride of Mr.. Glenn Arthur
Root of Kalamazoo.
At seven o'clock the wedding party
entered the parlor, where the impress
sive ring service was read by the
Rev. Harris of the Methodist church
of Lawrence, in the presence of the
immediate relatives of the parties.
The wedding march was played by
Miss Irene Osborn of Kalamazoo,
cousin of the bridegroom.
The bride wore a white net and
lace dress and carried hand bouquet
of roses.
A wedding dinner was served after
the ceremony.
Mrs. Root is well known here and
is a graduate of the Paw Paw High
school. For the past four years she
has served as cashier in the Streng
and Zinn company store of Kalama-
zoo. Mr.. Root is also well known in
this vicinity, having spent great

COLE-LATSHAW NUPTIALS

Wedding bells rang at the II. A.
Cole home Tuesday afternoon when
their daughter Miss Margaret Lucille
became the bride of Lieutenant Fred
F. Latshaw of Allegan. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Percy
Nickless of the Presbyterian church
in the presence of the immediate
relatives and few close friends and
neighbors.
The home was tastefully decorated
with American flags, ferns and golden
rod, while a sprinkling here and there
of the flags of allied nations gave
the home a military appearance.
Miss Mildred Shepard was the artist,
and her work was well done.
Promptly at 400 o'clock, Mrs.
Laura Wauchek of Otsego, cousin of
the bride, sang 80 Promise Me-"
while her mother, Mrs. Ida Cole
accompanied her at the piano. Then
to the strains of "The Star Spangled
Banner, the bride leaning on the
arm of her father, met the groom at
the altar before a large American
flag, where the nuptial rites were said
The full ring service was used, and
the charming little Miss Mary Jane
Cooley officiated in the capacity of
ring bearer.
The bride was gowned in white
Georgette crepe, with full bridal veil
and carried bridal bouqeut of white
roses. The groom wore the full
uniform of lieutenant in the Ameri-
can army.
After the congratulations had been
said, a delicious two course luncheon
was served by Mrs. A. N. Cole, sister
in-law of the bride, assisted by the
Misses Mildred Shepard and Marion
Boess, close friends of the bride.
The happy couple were driven to
Kalamazoo in the evening where
they took train for Camp Jackson,
Columbia, South Carolina, where
Lieutanant Latshaw reports for duty.
Mrs. Latshaw will remain with him
while he is in the states, and will
probably return to the home of her
parents here, when he embarks for
Over seas.
The bride is one of Paw Paws
most popular and highly respected
young ladies. She was born here,
graduated from the local schools and
from the State Normal at Kalamazoo
She taught one year in the Allegan
city schools, and one year in the
home schools. She was to have
taught here again this year, but
Cupid changed her plans.
The groom is a Paw Paw boy and
graduate from the local schools.
After graduation, he had charge of
the department of Manual training in
the Allegan city schools, and resign
ed that position to join the colors.
After a course of military training
at Camp Taylor, Kentucky, he was
awarded a Lieutenant's commission
and ordered to report at Camp Jack
son, South Carolina.
Mr.. and Mrs. Latshaw have the
love and respect of every person who
has been fortunate enough to make
their acquaintance. Their character
is spotless, their ideals are worthy
and their loyalty and ambitions such
as will win for them successful
future.
May they have long and blissful
life together, is the prayer of their
host of friends.
The out of town guests at the
wedding were, Miss Frieda Snow,
Mr.. and Mrs. AL Anderson of Cass-
opolis; John Latshaw, and daughter
Carrie of Chicago; Mrs. John Lat
shaw of Allegan; Mrs. Ida Cole and
son Rodger of Allegan; Prof. and
Mrs. A. H. Robertson and children of
Allegan and Mrs. Al Wauchek of
Otsego.

The light vote cast for Lieutenant
Governor Dickinson in the Primary
last week, was just and singing
rebuke to Mr.. Dickinson for his
eleventh hour attack on Mr.. New
berry and his campaign commit
tee. 1t was a vicious SANDER
and it's author should be call
ed to strict account. The sweeping
victory of Mr.. Newberry however at
the polls shows how little credence
the loyal people of Michigan place in
statements made by the weak kneed
Eaton county solon. 1t was base
political trick, sprung at the last
but failed in its purpose.
Scandal Mongers, political or other
wise in national, state or local politics
should forever be frowned upon.

Some of the teachers in the Law
renee schools must have found a
Fountain of Perpetual Youth" which
would make the fondest hopes of the
historic Ponce de Leon seem like a
fairy dream. Authority for this sup
position is based on the information
contained in the story of the Open
ing of the School year in the columns
of the Lawrence Times last week,
wherein it stated that "Our Teacher
has had 243 years experience in
these grades. Here's hoping that
the teacher in question may live to
round out another full century.

EDITORIAL

1t is hard to believe that there is
a person so dishonest as to deliber-
ately send basket of rotten eggs to
the store to be sold; but such
basket of eggs was actually sent to
one of the local stores, and out of
the entire three dozen, just two were
fit to use. If the person who sent
the eggs to market knew they were
bad, no punishment within the law
would be too severe.

What a difference between the
draft sentiment of today and that of
Civil War days. Then it was con-
sidered disgrace to be drafted into
service, and much money was spent
in the procuring of substitutes. The
universal draft laws of the present
war places evey person on an equal
footing with every other person.
Every man is eager to serve in some
capacity in the great war, and waits
only until he can ascertain where he
is needed.
