evan Buren county is Over the Top
and still going" is the enthusiastic
report of County Chairman T. j. Cav
anaugh. The fine record of old Van
Buren to date is a source of much
pride and satisfaction to the various
committees, and to every loyal citizen
in the county. "Paw Paw is nearing
the goal of double her quota, and will
go over" says Chairman Decker. The
ladies of the township report total
of $34,000.00 as the result of their
efforts and are "Still going" There
will be no let-up until the time limit
expires. The precincts of the county
already "Over the Top" are as fol-
lows:-Antwerp, Bangor, Covert, De-
catur, Lawrence, Paw Paw and Pine
Grove. Others are just at the top,
and there is no question but what
every precinct in the county will
reach the goal, and be entitled to the
Honor Flag. Double the quota for
Paw Paw will mean a star on the
Honor Flag. The flag is now on dis
play in the lobby of the post office.
Watch for the star, and let there be
none but what can say, 81 did my du
ty and helped to get the star"

team seems to have struck its stride
for the season if the past weeks per-
formances are any indication, as dur
ing this time two victories have been
added to the seasons list. The first
was over Dowagiac high school by a
score of IA to and on the latter's

legan high school and that by score
of Is to in five and one-half innings
The Dowagiac game saw the team
going at its best. Ferguson and Dow
were the battery and the former
pitched a consistent and steady game
Throughout, allowing but six hits and
no two of them in the same inning,
except the last, when two successive
hits netted the opponents their lone
tally. Dow's receiving was an i'm
portant factor of the game, too, and
the manner in which he demonstrated
that he could hold runners on the bas
es made it impossible for them to adj
vance. Only two Dowagiac players
attempted to steal second, and on
both occasions Mumbrue, who was
playing second, stood waiting for
them with the ball. Several classy
catches and stops were registered by
the local boys. Hinderach took fast
ground ball far back Of third base
with his bare hand and made a per-
feet peg for his man at first. Hol-
comb intercepted a line drive and
made a neat catch of it, while D..
Fish raced in from left field and made
a beautiful shoestring catch of hard
