summer here at the home of his
grandmother, Mrs. Bertha North,
landed nine pound carp from Maple

q pretty big fish for a small boy to
land.
Even though one knows that he
can attend the Chautauqua but part
of the week, it will be more economi-
4 cal to purchase a season ticket. There
is war tax on every single ad-
mission, and on the season tickets
one tax of twenty cents is good for
the week.
The True Northerner has a limited
number of Chautauqua caps, which
we will give to the boys and girls
who call at the office for them on
Saturday of this week. One to each
boy and girl as long as they last.
First come, first served.
The Prospect Lake neighborhood
picnic will be held this year at
Christie's Landing at the west bank
of the lake. August 21st, is the date
and large company is anticipated.
Every one is requested to bring we'll
! filled baskets, including plenty of
meat, lemons and sugar. Better go
light on the sugar-Editor). A Red
Cross stand selling ice cream, lemon
ade, gum, etc. is under consideration
by the committee. Base ball, quoits,
swimming, races and good program
will serve amusement for the day.
The Board of Supervisors met in
special session on Monday last to
consider the advisability of joining
with the counties of Berrien and Cass
in the erection of tuberculosis San
itarium. The Tri-county proposition
was unanimously rejected and arrange
ments made for the care of Van
Buren county tuberculosis patients
in the Kalamazoo hospital. The reso-
luton disposing of this matter will
be found in full in the editorial
columns, of this issue. On Tuesday
the Board toured the county to look
over the new roads in course of con-
struction and consider prospective
roads so as to be able to advise GER
tain appropriations for the building
of county roads at the October session
The supervisors were accompanied by
the County Road Commissioners and
it was a profitable trip for the coun-
ty.
The official Primary Ballots for use
at the coming Primary election are
now on The True Northerner job
presses, and must be completed and
delivered to the County Clerk on or
. before Wednesday of next week. The
Job requires a total Of 1870 ballots,
and they must be printed, numbered,
perforated and assembled in such
manner that no TWO consecutive pal
lots shall have the same arrangement
of candidates. This feature necessi-
tates the lifting of each form from
the press and a new arrangement of
names a total of 189 times before
the work is completed. Ballots are
being printed for four political
narties:-Republican. Democrat, Pro-
hibition and Socialist Labor. The
county does not provide instruction
ballots, but the statute prescribes
that candidates may procure such
, number Of instruction ballots as they
may desire. Candidates who will
need instruction ballots for the clos
ing days of the campaign, may get
q, same at The True Northerner
