The Van Buren, County Red Cross
unit shipped the following articles
this week. One case containing 420
pairs of pajamas; One case contain
ing 242 sweaters, 405 pairs of sacks
and 140 pairs of wristlets. 1t might
be interesting to the readers of The
True Northerner to know that the
money value of the Pajamas was $546
and of the mixed case, $1,357. 80; and
that since the 9th, day of June, the
Van Buren, County Chapter has fur
nished a total of 1872 sweaters. Just
stop and think a minute of the num-
bers of stitches this work contained
and the number of hours of labor it
represents. Then if you have ever
been guilty of harboring the thought
that the ladies of the land are not
doing their full share to win this
war, confess your guilt, feel ashamed
of yourself and forget that you have
ever allowed such a libelous thought
to creep into your system.
There will be a teachers examin-
alton at the Court House in Paw
Paw on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day of next week. Commissioners f.
V. Root announces that there is a
scarcity of teachers in the county
this year and not less than thirty
new teachers are needed right now
to fill the vacancies. Any person
who passes the examination next
week is sure of school at good
wages. Owing to the great scarcity
of teachers all over the state, it is
quite probable that this examination
will not be a difficult one. Any
student then or any person who has
an idea that they would like to teach
would do well to take the coming ex-
animation.
The official programs for the Paw
Paw Chautauqua have arrived and
the season tickets will be on sale at
the various places of business in the
village tomorrow Saturday.. The
tickets sell at the same price as here
tofore, $500 for adults and $1.00 for
children. They are subject to the
war tax however, 20 cents for the
$500 tickets and 10 cents for the
81 90 tickets. All tickets must be
stamped "War Tax Paid" before they
can be honored at the gate. The
Chautauqua management have ar
ranged this plan for the payment of
war tax. The afternoon before the
chautauqua opens, the Junior chau-
tauoua workers will be stationed at
some convenient place in the village
(place to be announced later) to
collect the tax and stamp the tickets.
Those who find it inconvenient to
appear at this. time, may pay the
tax and have the ticket stamped at
the ticket office when the chautauqua
opens. Pay no attention to the war
tax then when buying your season
tickets. That will be attended to
later. The program this year prom
ises to be even better than any pre-
vious year. 1t is to be sincerely
hoped that every citizen in the COM
munity will take an active interest
in boosting the sale of tickets. The
chautauqua management is under
heavier expense this year than ever
before. Paw Paw must make good
on this years chautauqua. Those
who promised to- dispose of certain
