FRANK HAYWARD

Frank Hayward died at his home
in the village on Monday night.
People of Paw Paw could hardly be-
lieve it, when news of his passing
spread over the village Tuesday
morning. Big, robust, healthy, strong
Frank Hayward, it don't seem pos
sible. The Influenza, however with
its dreaded resultant, pneumonia is
no respecter of persons, and strength
and robustness seems to provide but
little protection. Frank has been a
resident of Paw Paw for many years,
and was one of the leading black
smiths of the village. He was
universally liked, and will be missed
from the community. He leaves
wife to mourn his death, besides other
relatives and host of friends. 1t is
scarcely more than two weeks ago
that Mrs. Hayward was dangerously
sick with the same disease in a hos
pital in Kalamazoo. Frank made al
most daily trips to see her. Now she
whom it was thought could not get
well is left, and he who was the
picture of health is gone. Such is
the mystery of human existence.

MRS. TOM SOULE

Mrs. Tom Soule passed away Sun
day night after brief illness. She
was a victim of the epidemic, which
resulted in pneumonia, and to make
her case most critical a baby was
born to her last Wednesday at
critical period of her illness. Every
thing possible was done to save her,
but it was not to be. The husband
and two children are still very sick,
and this with the little one who will
never know real mother, makes the
conditions of this home indeed pitiful,
and the sympathy Of the community
goes out to them. The funeral was
held on Wednesday from the residence
of Mrs. E. Stanley Briggs, who
generously opened her home for the
sad occasion.

John Mcguire, for many years a
resident Of Paw Paw township died
at his home, west of the village Of
Paw Paw last Sunday. Mr.. Mcguire
has been in rather poor health for a
number of years, but has been able
TO be up and about his work until
recently. He was stricken with the
Influenza, and his weakened condition
made of him an easy victim. His son
Delbert, is with the American Army
in France, and it is to be regretted
that the father could not have been
spared until his return. Dell was the
pride of his parents, and they were
both anxiously looking forward to his
home coming, which now will neces-
sarily be a sad one. Mr.. Mcguire
was a highly respected resident Of
the community, an ideal man in his
family and a good neighbor. He will
be missed not only in the community
in which he lived, but in the village
as well.

the same division. We have done
wonderful fighting and also won a
wonderful name for our division.
Well Mother, the papers look more
like peace every day, and it can't come
too soon to suit me. l am sick and
tired of this fighting and also of
France. In few days more we will
be entitled to a service stripe-siX

and so will patiently wait Love to

Letter from Edd Nj. Howard dated
from Los Angeles, California, No
vember II, to The True NOrtherner
Mr.. Howard is a resident of Bloom
ingdale ,and well known through
out Van Buren, county. He made
the trip with his family to Los
Angeles via Auto, leaving Paw
Paw Wednesday morning, October
End, and reaching his destination
November 18th.
You asked me to write of our trip,
will give you merely an outline as
details would take too long
We left Paw Paw Wednesday, Oct
tober 2nd, arriving here Wednesday,
November 18th, just six weeks on the
road. Leaving a modern bungalow
and living in a tent by the side Of
the road is quite a change, but we
enjoyed it very much. Soon after
leaving st. Joe we struck the Lincoln
Highway leading through Chicago
Heights, Joliet, Peoria, Springfield
and Alton, where we crossed the
Mississippi The Illinois corn belt
was a grand sight, drive of nearly
two days and nothing but corn. Driv
ing on west through Missouri we
found the road very hilly, ferrying
the Missouri at Bonneville we drove
on to Kansas city where we spent one
day. Here we left the Lincoln High
way and took the Santa Fe trail lead
ing through Ottawa, Emporia, New
ton, Hutchinson, land Dodge City and
following the Arkansas river as far
west as Laynuta, Colorado. From
there we bore south to Trinidad where
We laid over two days for the snow
to leave that we might make the

of 500 feet, over into New Mexico
70 that picturesque city-Santa Fe
where stands the oldest church in
America and is still used for worship.
The palace of arts is very interesting
The house of Governors was erected
in 1913 and faces the Plaza, next to
which is the widest street in the city
about forty feet. The Mexicans and
Indians in their adobe houses and
native dress is very interesting, as
was also the Cliff dwellers. Passing
on over the continental divide into
Arizona we realized fully that we
were in the wild and wooley west.
Indian reservations, high mountains,
deep canyons and the petrified forest
which covers about one thousand
acres is one of the wonders of Amer
lea, in the blue ridge mountains we
visited two large gold mines, Gold
Road and Oatman where we camped
for the night, next morning we drove
TO the Colorado river where we were
taken across into Needles cat by In
dians, then commenced a two days
drive across the desert which is much
different than we expected, instead OF
deep sand, we had gravel, rock and
cement roads until we neared the Sar
Bernardino mountains, from there

FIVE WAYS IN WHICH
DELCO LIGHT INCREASES
FARM EFFICIENCY

1. Work which was formerly accom-
plished by hand can now be done
electrically with current supplied by
Delco-Light. Time and labor are
therefore saved.
2. Delco-Light brings to the farm
all of the modern benefits which
formerly attracted the boys and girls
to the city.
8. Delco-Light solves the retired
farmer" problem, by bringing to the
country home all of the conveniences
of the city.
4. Delco-Light makes the home a
better and more enjoyable place in
which to live. Therefore, everyone
becomes cheerful and contented.
5. By correcting fundamental liv-
ing conditions on the farm, hired
labor is attracted to the farm rather
than to the city.
Delco-Light Saves Time and Labor
Increases Farm Efficiency,
And Pays For Itself.
