In free America, the individual CON

troller. That 10 the democratic way

Ponds the Cause OF Democracy
against the Prussian scheme OF things.
Herbert Hoover, using the pulpits
Of the nation as his mouthpiece, has
made appeal for even greater saving
and shipment Of wheat than has yet
been accomplished. At least 100000.
900 bushels more must be shipped by
August. His message admits OF no
Misunderstanding. He says:
TT is imperative that all those
whose circumstances permit shall alb
stain from wheat in any form until
the next harvest"
And his facts admit of no argument
He says:
IF we are to satisfy the minimum
requirements OF our Armies and the
Allies and the suffering millions in
the Allied countries, our consumption
of wheat until the next harvest must
be reduced TO one-third of normal"
The Maryland Food Administrator
has naught to do but pass on that
appeal TO the citizenry Of this State.

Will need no further stimulus to thrift
than that unequivocal presentation Of
the facts. The key-word OF Mr..
Hoover's message lies In that one

The public eating places of this
State have been individually urged to

wheat. Their response has been graft

SCHOOL NOTES

The school band participated in
Kalamazoo's Liberty Day celebration
on Monday afternoon, being invited
to do so by the Chamber of Commerce
The "pep" and initiative which
characterizes Paw Paws young people
was evidenced during the local cele-
bration Tuesday, when a group of
high school girls appeared on the
street selling doughnuts and hot
coffee. The proceeds amounted to
$3.50.
Friday and Saturday of this week
has been set aside as a time when an
intensive drive and selling campaign
VIII BE launched in the interests of
the coming Lyceum course. Every
one should support this endeavor on
the part of the local schools. It's
big undertaking and its success de-
ponds upon the support given by the
townspeople. If you haven't pur-
chased a ticket, plan to do so Friday
or Saturday. You will be given five
excellent evenings of entertainment
for $1.50. Most of these entertain
ments will come during the winter

something to do to break the mon
otony.
Indoor baseball played out doors is
proving to be very popular game
with the boys, where game is going
morning, noon and night.
The date for the parent-patron day
will be announced in the near future.
At the beginning Of the school year
many people were of the opinion that
real band this year would be an
impossibility in view Of the fact that
last years graduating class included
the greater part of last years men,
bers. However, in the three months
passed, Mr.. Castle has demonstrated
his ability as a director. Five mem
bers Of the band at the present time
have been developed this year, while
large class of beginners are now
at work. The majority of these be-
ginners will be in the first band be-
fore Spring.
