Paw Paw people are glad to notice
that the Engel Baking company is
now making as fine loaf of war
bread as is made in any bakery in
the land. MI. Engel had some
trouble on the start in getting
acquainted with the proper sub
stitutes and as consequence the
bread was not up to standard and
business fell Off Mr.. Engel stuck to
the job however, went to Chicago and
has eventually found the secret. His
"Eat-it" loaf of bread now is at least
the equal of any bread sold in Paw
Paw. 1t is the duty of every person
to eat just as sparirgly as possible
Of bread, and also to patronize a
home industry when the product is
rs good as the out-of-towr; made.
The following is clipped from the
Lansing State Journal of last Thurs
day. "Part in Memorial Day services
in Mattawan, Van Buren, county, his
boyhood town with which he was
actively identified as a little "tyke"
will be renewed Thursday by Duane
H. Mosier, an assistant attorney
general He is to be chief speaker
at the services there tomorrow when
his boyhood town will honor the half
dozen Union veterans who remain
alive. Intimately, does he know the
six, as he did three score and more
of their comrades, who belonged to
the Post in his "kid" days. Then he
and his brother, Carl d. Mosier, now
an attorney of Dowagiac, Justify beat
upon bass and snare drum. They
learned to play the music which is
all written on the same line. The
town became rather proud of the
boys. Some one, years ago, when
both boys still wore knee pants,
suggested during the discussion of
decoration day plans that the
"Mosier boys" be asked to march in
the parade with the Post. Of course
the boys felt honored and just as
certainly as they slept but little the
night before, they played in the pro-
cession, marching right with the
veterans, whose friends they were.
The old soldiers-they were not near
so old then-liked the drumming. 1t
recalled the marches against "Johrny
Reb." Thus the "Mosier boys" be-
came regular part with their drum
ming of each day when men who pre-
served the Union were honored. This
continued until as youths and young
men are so want to do, they left
Mattawan. When possible in later
years they spent Memorial Day in
Mattawan. A year ago, Carl de-
Ilivered the Memorial Day address.
