There are in every community land
Paw Paw is no exception) a number
of men who have no employment and
do not need to work. Right now is
the time that such men could be of
great service to their country by 60
ing out and doing something to help
on the farm. There is urgent need
for farm labor everywhere. The men
in question Of course might find it
difficult to do full days work, and
there is some kinds of labor that
some of them could not do at all. But
there is a place for every individual
to fit in on some mans farm. Such
industrious activities on the part of
men and boys who are not in the
habit of working, and do not need to
work, would not only be a distinct
and patriotic service to the country
right now, but would be a blessing in
disguise for the individual. "Work
or Fight" should be the motto of
every person during these war times.
There should be no age limit, or
property exemption. Every person
should do something, in some capac-
ity where he would be the most good.

SHELDON COLEMAN
FOR SENATOR

Sheldon Coleman of Lawton, was
in Bangor on Field Day. If this
sentence occurred in a paper in the
eastern part of the county no one
would ask "Who is Sheldon Cole
MANI" for there he is known by
every man, women and child, and not
one can be found who does not speak
well of him.
Never before was he an office seek
er, but now he is asking the people
of Van Buren, and Allegan counties to
send him to the State Senate.
We clip the following from the
Lawton Leader, and it certainly is a
deserving compliment to a worthy
citizen.
Mr.. Coleman is a home product, a
I Western Michigan boy, born and
brought up on a farm in the western
part of Kalamazoo county. He grad
uated from the pharmacy department
of the University of Michigan in
1893.
He has held every office in the Will
age and township that he would
accept, having been supervisor for
nine different terms, and last year
chairman of the board of supervisors.
/ He has been highway commissioner,
and has served on the school board
and village board. He is village
president, having been elected with
opposition, and has held the same
! Il
was secetary and treasurer of the
county Good Roads association when
the county system was adopted, and
was also chairman of the county Dry
Campaign Committee when state wide
prohibition was adopted. With the
exception of Supervisor, practically
every office he has held brought him
no financial remuneration, but he
willingly accepted the trust that he
might be of service to his town and
unity. VT 4Hsl4%0
Mr.. Coleman's political life has not
been theoretical, but has been full of
activities for the benefit of the COM
munity. He is broad-mirded, can see
things from the other mans view
point, is not domineering and as an
executive has the faculty of getting
along tremendously with his associ-
ates.
Mr.. Coleman is a member of the F.
& A M, l. 0. o. F. and the Knights
of Pythias lodges, and also takes an
active part in the church work Of
the village.
Mr.. Coleman's natural ability and
education, combined with the close
touch he has had with both the bust
ness and agricultural interests of his
district and his public experiences
and familiarity with the close touch
he has had with state and local mat
ters, his friends believe, particularly
fit him for the office of State Senator.

An interesting question has arisen
among the farmers of this commun-
ity as to Gust What Constitutes a
Farm" Some time ago a farmer Of
Paw Paw township made application
to one of the Federal Reserve Banks
for loan, offering a mortgage on
his twenty acre farm as security.
He is prosperous well-to-do farmer,
who owns this twenty acres and
works part Of several other farms.
In reply to the application, the
Federal Reserve bank said in sub
stance:- "Our Executive committee
have decided that your property does
not contain acres enough to constitute
farm" 1t is generally accepted
among laymen that any piece of land
that is cultivated for the growing of
crops is a farm, and it will be news
to many to know piece of land must
contain certain number of acres
before it can be legally honored with
the title of Farm" SO much for
that; but now the question arises,
just how many acres must a piece of
land contain before it may be called
a farm? The True Northerner is
unable to answer the question from
the data at hand, and would be pleas
ed to be informed on the point in
question. Until such proof is pre-
sented, we shall have to cling to the
opinion that twenty acres of land
under cultivation constitutes a twenty
acre farm.

GIDEON BIBLES ARE
PLACED IN HOTELS

The Christian Commercial Travellers
Association of America, better known
as THE Gideons," through their rep
resentative, Rev. A. G. Shriver, yester-
day placed seventy-five Bibles in four
of our leading hotels. This Organiza-
ton had its inception over twenty
years ago, when two Christian travel
ing men met in a small hotel in Wis
Iconsin. From this meeting sprang the
great organization whose membership
is numbered by the thousands The
organization gets its name from an
illustrious character mentioned In
Judges, 7th chapter. He was a gen
eral and God-fearing man.
The object of the Gideons is to rec
ognize the Christian travelling men of
the world with the cordial fellowship;
to work for the betterment of the lives
of business men, and to encourage one
another in the Masters service.
Over 100000 Bibles have been placed
in the hotels in the States and over
a thousand a month are being placed.
The hotels in the coast towns of Alas
ka are supplied with the Book of
Books. 1t is the only book in all liter
ature that cheers and strengthens man
for tells him of Gods plan of salvation.
Most of the money was raised in
Cordova for the purchasing of these
Bibles, A Gideon service will be held
at Eagle hall Sunday morning, Feb

DANGERS OF TRAVEL :
ON BROAD PASS TRAIL

The winter trail through the Broad
Pass is extremely dangerous as the
result of recent sonw storms and it is
matter of sheer luck that travellers
have not lost their way, says Robert
Warren, who has, just arrived in An
chorage over the trail from Nenana.
Mr.. Warren is an oldtimer in Alas
ka. He came north in 1898 and is well
known in mining circles throughout
the interior,
THE tran through the Broad Pass, -
continued Mr.. Warren, runs over a
number of lakes a few miles from Jack
River on the northern side of the
pass, and while the trail is marked
with tripods the marks are at the ends
of the lakes, during a storm or a fog,
are invisible to travellers. Recent
storms have obliterated the trail and
it is only by the aid of the tripods that
the traveller may proceed. In several
L, r
travel is thus rendered impossible
particularly during stormy or fogy
weather"
Mr.. Warren will leave for Seward
and the outside and after brief visit
with friends and relatives in Seattle
he will offer his services to the gov.
eminent in the hope of getting to the
war zone in the immediate future.
Mr.. Warren was in the military serv.
ice previous to coming to Alaska. He
has taken part in two Indian rebel
lions, acting as an Indian scout in
both,
He is a brother of Joel Warren the

INTERIOR PLACER CAMP
WILL INCREASE OUTPUT

Harry Watson, an oldtimer of the
north, formerly employed by the North
ern Commercial Company at Dikeman
and other places, arrived in Fairbanks
the other day from Marshall City. &C
cording to the Fairbanks News-Miner
Regarding work and conditions at
Marshall, Watson says that approx
mately $45O,OOO was taken out last
summer and he looks to see a larger
amount produced in 1918. Next sum-
mer Banker &c Edgar will have a big
scraping plant working on Wilson
creek. George Pitcher will have a ny
draulicking plant on Elephant creek.
1t is expected that these two plants
will add considerably to the OUTPUT,
At the present time there are only
about $50 people at Marshall City. but
Mr. Watson expects that there will be
many more there next summer, as a
number of the old-timers went out on
the last boats, expecting to return in
the spring.
While coming up the river Mr.. Wat
son found considerable interest in the
reports from the Good News bay coun-
TRY, but few people were stampeding.
