SCHOOL NOTES

Mr. Hawley gave an interesting
talk to the high school Monday morn
ing. This is the first time the high
school has listened to Mr.. Hawley
for some time and we can say that
we are glad to welcome him at any
time. In his talk he emphasized
the Importance of clean. manhood and
womanhood and the gain derived
from striving after the greatest
thing of life.
A parade, led by the band and
composed of members of the high
school marched Monday afternoon in
the interest of our new library. 1t
is needless to say that we are all
glad that before long we can all
enjoy the privilege of a well furnish
ed library. t

Science teacher has been absent this

We notice by the Kalamazoo
Gazette that Chester A. CRANE, for
merly a Paw Paw boy. is candidate
for one of the seven commissioners of
the city of Kalamazoo. Chester was
born and grew to young manhood in
the village of Paw Paw. He attend
ed the public schools here and gradu-
ated with the class of 1904, the only
neoro boy to win that honor in the
history of the school. Later he took
special trasning in the Lydia Univer-
sity of Chicago, and was associated
for time with Booker Il. Washing
ton in Chautauqua work. He taught
among his people in the South for
a period of six years, three of them
in the Booker Il. Washington Insti-
tute at Tuskegee, Alabama. He has
always been a clean, progressive
young man, striving for an education
and endeavoring in every honest way
to better the conditions among his
people. The citizens of his home
town, who have known him since
childhood are cognizant of his worth,
and commend him to the people of
Kalamazoo. May he be elected to
the office for which he has been
Throughout the county the Draft
Board are asking for volunteer
workers to assist in the clerical
work of their Office, which is very
heavy. The government urges upon
Teachers and others who are COM
petent to do clerical work, that it is
a patriotic service to their country,
and in some counties the response
has been very generous, but thus far
very few have responded to the call
in our own county. AS result the
work at the office is very burdensome
and consequently somewhat delayed.
The Misses Margaret Southworth,
Ola Killefer, Nellie Harrington and
Lulu McWilliams have assisted eve
nings, and they feel that there are
others who would give a few hours
Of their time to aiding the Board in
the clerical work. If there are any
who can give a few hours during the
day, or if there are a number who
can give an evening to the work, it
will be greatly appreciated. and
those who are willing to volunteer
their services should report to Mr.. R.
w. Rroughton, the secretary of the
Board.

A PATRIOTIC CITIZEN.

At the Democratic township caucus
held last Saturday afternoon, Charles
Mather was nominated for Township
that he would, if elected, give one
half of his salary, or fees, he receiv-
ed from the Office for the benefit of
various war funds. He is desirous
OF. having the money given to the Red
Cross, Y. M. c. A, X. of {. and such
other organizations which have for
their object the securing for the boys
who are fighting for their country
the necessities and comforts which
are not usually furnished by the
Government.
Mr.. Mather said in substance
"You all know / have lost one boy
in the army and have another who
is now fighting in France. Some
may think have contributed my
share towards the war, but wish to
do more. | cannot go myself on
account of my age, but wish to help
those who do go. have great de-
sire to help to win this great war
while the German ruler and his
allies are waging against America
and her allies, and against civiliza-
tion. / am further moved by the
fact that / have lost one son and
have another now in France who may
be sacrificed for the sake of this
great cause. am anxious to further
show my patriotism and zeal, and
am willing to do so by contributing
one half of the compensation which
receive from the office for the benefit
of the boys who are fighting for
their country. I make this state
ment without any suggestion from
anvone."
Mr. Mather is certainly showing
his patriotism in a very substantial
and loyal manner.

LIMA BEANS

Lima beans should not be planted
until the ground is thoroughly warm
ed up, as they are heat-lOving crop
and the seed will rot if planted when
the ground is cold Most gardeners
prefer the pole varieties, as they yield
better than the bush varieties and are
superior to the bush varieties in
many other respects. One marked ad-
vantage of the pole beans is that they
may be planted around the fence,
utilizing the fence as a support for
the vines. In this manner a crop of
beans can be secured with the use Of
a minimum amount of spacing.
When planted in rows in the gar.
den, pole Lima beans are usually
in hills 3 to 4 feet apart and support
ed on poles or a string and wire
tIellis.
The bush Limas are usually drilled
in rows some 31s feet apart for horse
cultivation, or slightly closer for hand
cultivation The Lima beans are q
full season crop that is, they occupy
the ground for the entire growing sea
son. and a sufficient amount should
be planted to provide for the needs
Of the family for the entire season.
Any surplus not used green may be
allowed to dry on the vines, picked
and stored for winter use
Lima beans constitute one Of the
most satisfactory crops for growing
for winters use, as the only care
necessary to save them is to pick
the ripe pods. dry them thoroughly
and shell the beans. In the northern
portion of the country where Lima
beans do not thrive, pole beans Of the
Lazy Wife variety will give satisfac-

$3.50 A YEAR

With the American Army in France,
March 2O-Ameriean artillery on the
Toul front has heavily attacked the
Germans with gass shells during the
past day or so, it is now permitted to
announce. Four different attacks
were launched and from the manner
in which the enemy was silenced 1t is
evident they had the desired effect.
During one priod when the gas
shells were flying over the enemy
lines last night a German airplane
with a red tail light appeared over
the American lines and dropped a red
rocket, for what purpose it is not
known. However shrapnel from
American anti-aircraft batteries burst
SO near the German Immediately af-
forwards, that he was forced to fly
for his own lines in a hurry
Last night the enemy observation
towers and position on MOntsec were
shelled heavily and a heavy fire was
directed against the enemy lines this
morning
At noon today the enemy opened a
lively fire on one of the American
positions with 81 millimeter guns
from the cemetery at Richecourt. The
American guns of the same caliber
came into action and after they had
fred fifty shells the Germans ran
from the position and took their guns
with them. The American guns then
shelled the village of Lahayville,
where two heavy explosions, appar-
emily of munition stores. were caused.
The German artillery directed most
OF its attention to dropping few gas
shells into one or two towns within
the American lines, and shelling a
cross road known as Deaths Corner
during the day and night.
Last night American patrols enter
ed the German front lines at two
points, but did not see a single enemy
soldier although they hunted for some
time Another patrol remained in
the enemy wire entanglements all
night hoping to ambush an expected
enemy party, but It did not appear.
A third patrol was discovered by the
Germans who hurled hand grenades
and forced the Americans to with
draw Still another established con-
tact with an enemy patrol and a few
shots were exchanged. The Ameri-
cans came through unscathed but it
is no known what happened to the
Germans
