Battle Creek papers contain an ac-
count of the marriage of Miss Chloe
Strowbridge of that city, to Lieut..
Harrison Cook, of Greenwood, Wis,
now stationed at Camp Custer. The
ceremony was performed at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Will Strowbridge, on Sunday after
noon last in the presence of about so
relatives and friends. The home was
prettily decorated in flowers and
palms with a profusion of national
colors, giving the scene a patriotic
touch. The bride was born in Paw
Paw and grew to young womanhood
here. For the past nine years she
has been in the employ of the Ihling
& Everard company, of Kalamazoo.
The groom has just completed his
work in the officers training camp
at Camp Custer. He has been in
the regular army for the past ten
years. The happy couple are now
on a honeymoon trip to Greenwood,
Wisconsin, where there guests of
the groom's parents.
There is a disposition on the part
of every loyal citizen to do every
thing within their power for soldier
or the family of a soldier. Court
Stenographer Harvey A. Sherman
comes forward with the following
patriotic and generous offer:-He will
file the insurance claim for the fam
lily of any deceased soldier and look
after all the details of the claim, free
of charge. AS the war goes on and
the casualty lists are swelled, it is
probable that there will be many such
claims to be filed in Van Buren, county
Mr.. Sherman proposes to look after
all such claims just as an act of gen.
erosity and to be of some service to
the families of those who sacrifice
their lives in this great conflict, and
all without one cent of expense to the
claimant. He has supply of blanks
for this purpose, and is in receipt of
a letter of commentator from the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance at
Washington for the patriotic offer
with authority to proceed with the
claim of any case which is brought
to his attention.

Aero Squadron, Kelley Field, Texas,
to The True Northemer:-"I wish to
express my thanks to you for sending
me The True Northerner. 1t is al
ways full of the best home news, and
it does me lot of good. Please ac-
icept my thanks for your generosity.
If you have never seen large Avia-
tion Camp, you certainly would be
surprised at the immensity of the
Kelley Field. would imagine that it
was more than 20 square miles in area
and in my four months experience
here, l have been over every nook
and corner Of it, either on fatigue du-
ty or guard duty. On a good flying
day the air is as full of planes as the
air around hive ordinarily is of
bees. No. 2 Field is largely for
student fliers, while No. 1 Field, a
smaller one, is for "Solo" fliers. The
"Solo" fliers are in the air five hours
a day. They have one of the new
Liberty motors at the Motor instruc-
tion department and it can best be
compared to the ordinary motor, by
stating that the Liberty is a fine
Swiss watch and the Ordinary an In
gersoll. was present at big meet
ing this morning and heard an ad-
dress by Mr.. McAdoo, Secretary of
the Treasury. Our company street
