A thoughtful little bill has been
introduced in Congress by Represent
ative Norman j. Gould of New York
1t provides that all officers and men in
the military service of the war with
Germany and Austria, shall, when
honorably discharged or mustered out.
receive two months extra full duty
pay if they have served outside the
continental limits of the United
States, and one months extra full
duty pay if they have served within
the continental limits of the United
States. This will give the boys
chance to look around and locate them
selves when they get home. What
with subtractions from base pay for
allotments, insurance, and many in
cidentals, the soldier has little or
nothing in his pocket at the end of
the month. Indeed, Ring Lardner's
hero, Jack, found, afer making the
necessary monthly deductions from
his pay, he owed the "govment" S1.60
Gould's bill establishes no precedent,
as provision of similar nature was
made by Act of March 3rd, 1899, to
veterans Of the Spanish war, fact
which might have been overlooked
but for the New Workers. discerning
eye. Surely the country will not be-
grudge the payment Of this honor
arium to its defenders, even though
it may involve, perhaps $250,000, 900.

county men who entered the service
Of their country and who have been
honorably discharged or who remain
in service, including the names of
those who lived and died in this cOun-
try, even though they entered the
service elsewhere together with a
brief record of their military record,
insofar as the same can be ascertain
ed, should be enrolled and carefully
preserved in such memorial building,
that future generations may read and
learn of the courage, bravery and
hcroism of their gallant forefathers.
Similar plans are being advocated
in other counties and we respectfully
commend the foregoing suggestions
to the favorable consideration of those

The following verses are from the
pen of A. C. Glidden, former resi-
dent of Paw Paw, all of whose early
life was spent in this community. Mr..
Glidden now resides in Cedar Springs,
Michigan. He has many warm friends
left in this community, and the poem,
entitled Failing Leaves" is published
herewith for their benefit
November winds are whirling past,
The tree-tops nod and gesture;
The Naples notified branches cast,
Their leaves of varied vesture.
They dip, they dive, they skip, they
sink,
With many curve and culver;
They drop their dorys on the brink
Of every stream and river.
Like fairy boats they float along,
The wind their courses guiding;
Some eddying current, swift and
strong,
Directs their final hiding.
The orchard bends beneath the breeze
Some scarlet colors shedding;
To form a carpet meath the trees
On greensward groundwork spread
ing.
The fiercer wind will start perchance,
This tented army tramping;
But soon OF late such bold advance
Compels sudden camping.
A hedge-row hides in heaped up piles
These wandering truant rovers;
They clog the paths in garden aisles
The lawns are meath their cover.
'Tis strange that in a life so brief,
Is to our hand presented;
Such famous fruits this fallen leaf
Has fashioned and invented.

Reconstruction problems are not
alone for the solution of men at Wash
ington or in New York, or in Europe.
Every person in the big city or the
remote hamlet, can do his share. The
returned soldiers will go back to their
homes on the plains, and in the
mountains las well as to the homes in
the cities. Most of these men will
find occupations for themselves. In
fact, after the strenuous life they
have led, it is safe guess that the
y-at-homes will have busy time
meeting the competition of the men
who have been "Over There" But
there will be cases of unfortunates
who have been crippled, or who have
never been trained for anything but
the most common labor Some Of
these will need help-not charity, nor
support, but friendly aid in getting
started again. 1t will be compar-
atively easy to help these men along
but everyone must make it his bust
ness to add his assistance when oppor
tunity offers. 1t will be a misfortune
to the men themselves if the people
of the country look upon them as sub
jects for coddling or charity. With
few exceptions, they will not so re
gard themselves, unless gradually in
duced to do so by thoughtless emotion
alists. Under the selective draft law
they were taken out of civil occupa-
ton and put in the army and navy.
By the exercise of such measures as
may be practicable they should be
placed back in civil occupation by
selection. Except in cases where their
working powers have been impaired,
they will then take care of them
selves. The selective process of get
ting them back into private industry
is the important step in the recon-
struction program. Let everybody
help.

Mr. and Mrs. James Creagan of De-
catur have received word that their
son, Herbert Creagan has been miss
ing in action since November 9th.
He was twenty-seven years of age, a
graduate of the Decatur High school
and at the time of entering the SER
vice was bookkeeper in the First
State Bank of that village. He was
well known in this community.
Later advice states that the report
is an error, and that Herbert is safe
and sound.)

The health conditions of this COM
munity are steadily improving, and it
is to be sincerely hoped that the
crisis is now past. In the opinion of
many, the quarantine was lifted too
soon, but the health officer and those
in close touch with the conditions
probably know best about that. A
strict quarantine for the families of
those who are afflicted with this new
and battling disease has been agitated
throughout the state, and it is proba-
BILE that if another serious epidemic
breaks out, such a quarantine will be
established. There is no reason why
the most stringent measures should
not be inaugurated to assist in con-
trolling this disease. There is appar-
emily just as much reason for placing
those afflicted with the disease and
those in the same house with them
under quarantine, as there would be
in an epidemic of Small Pox, Dipther-
ia, or Scarlet Fever. The closing of
schools, and prohibiting public gather
ings of every kind is all right as far
as it goes; but so long as people in
different stages Of the disease are
permitted to be about the streets at
will, and so long as those from the
homes of the sick ones are about
their business as usual, in the opinion
of many, just so long will the disease
continue to get in its deadly work

FARM BUREAU NOTES

Because Of the great number of
cases of Influenza practically all over
county, and the part meetings play in
helping to spread the disease, it has
been deci'ied to indefinitely postpone
the Poultry Show and School which
was to have been held in Hartford
December *. 10 and 20.
It is very likely that the Show and
School can lie held as at first planned
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1918-12-13

q little ia.er in the winter when so
much SICKNESS does not prevail.
Whether OF not this can be done will
depend upon whether or not the
Poultry Department of the M. A. c..
can give US new dates. When the
old dates were decided upon the Flu"
was greatly on the decline and every
thing looked favorable, but the last
two weeks have seen a great change
in the situation. Prevention of the
spread of this disease seems more
important than any other thing at
p, esent.
Order Potash Fertilizers Early.
Farmers who have land which needs
to produce the best crops, should lose
no time in ordering fertilizer rich in
potash. 1t will be possible to secure
a limited amount of fertilizer contain
ing up to 3 per cent Of potash this
winter and what goods there are in
this grade should be used on those
areas which need potash especially
bad such as muck lands of this coun-
ty.
The war has helped to prove to US
that practically all the high land in
Michigan can produce good crops by
the use of lime and acid phosphate
with crops, or manure plowed down
without using potash. Such being the
case, the up land farmer will be doing
a patriotic thing by buying fertilizer
containing no potash, that there may
be more of the potash bearing fer
tilizer left for the muck crop growers
and men on classes of land where
potash is the limiting factor in pro-
duction.
Besides this, the cost of potash in
its present scarcity is too great to
make its use practical on general
crops.
Van Buren, County Extension Schools
There will be at least three Agri-
cultural Extension schools in this
county in January 1919, one at Ban
gor, Gobleville and Paw Paw. These
will be two days schools with special
lists from the Michigan Agricultural
College to help conduct them.
1t is expected that a Home Econ
omics Extension school will be held at
Hartford, and perhaps one at Goble-
vile and Paw Paw. More informa-
ton regarding these Extension
schools later.

Lieutenant Dawson, writing for the
December issue of the Red Cross
Magazine, gives the following char
acteristics of the German People as
a class in Germany. The thoughts
herein expressed are worthy of the
careful consideration and thorough
assimilation, especially by those who
are fearful lest the Allies at the
Peace Table shall be too harsh on the
late enemy. German propaganda is
still at work throughout the entire
world to create sentiment which is
inclined to mitigate the heinous often
ses Of the Central Powers, and to
lessen the terms of punishment which
shall be meted out to them. No loyal
American will give much heed to the
piteous appeals of the enemy or will
assist in any way in spreading the
propaganda which has been spread
broadcast throughout the land. Read
the lines from the pen of Lieutenant
Dawson
1t seems to be that the German
is incorrigibe. He was born a
boor and he can never respond to
courtesy. Kindness and mercy
are lost upon him; he accepts
them as his right and becomes
domineering. If any peace-maker
thinks that christian forbearance
and magnanimity will make for a
new brotherhood when peace
terms are formulated, he is vastly
mistaken. The German is bully
and the only leadership that he
acknowledges and the only right
eousness to which he bows, is the
leadership and the armed force
of a person stronger than him
self. Sentimental leniency on the
part of the Allies will only make
him swell out his chest afresh.

The Chicago Evening Post in its
editorial columns Of December 4th,
pays a glowing tr.hute to a former
Paw Paw boy, Marquis Eaton, who
grew to young manhood in this will
age, and the memory Of whom will
always be CHERISHED by every person
who was acquainted with him during
those boyhood days. Mr. Eaton was
Chairman of he Chicago Chapter of
the Red Cross, and a recent report
of that organization reveals the fact
that the huge sum of $13,000,000 was
contributed to Red Cross work in that
city during the war just closed. 1t
was a wonderful report of glorious
accomplishment, and in the words of
a member OF the committee says the
Post, None of these accomplishments
would have been possible without the
leadership Of Chairman Eaton, whose
tact, intelligence and executive ability
are beyond all praise"

1t is suggested that there is no
need of using a "Made in America"
label on American goods to dis
tinguish them from articles made in
Germany. But that is not the only
purpose of the proposed brand.
What we want is the use of goods
made here as against goods made in
other lands, either enemy or ally,
America should produce or manufact
ure every commodity needed for home
use, so far as practicable. When we
must buy abroad, we should buy from
those with whom we have been
associated in the war for preservation
of international rights. Only as
last resort should we buy from the
Hun. 1t is strange type of Amer
lean who will buy goods made by men
or women who spat in the faces of the
American soldiers as they were con-
Quoted as prisoners of war through
German territory. But regardless of
that, America should produce a class
of goods of which Americans can be
proud, and, in order to spread the
fame Of those goods, they should bear
the brand "Made in America, or
"Made in u. S. A"

in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
in the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga-

ers of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name, LUCKY

The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga-
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news.

through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor ant, makes
the cigarettes keep better.

have cigarette for the wounded soldier
as, in most instances, that is the frs

and rather wide girdle set in about

The sleeves are roomy and finished
with ample cuffs that are embellished
with small buttons. There is long.

tened over the throat. The scarf hangs
to the waistline and ends in large, soft
tassels. 1t amounts to an ornament
