She said all this with such an

In low, sad voice she murmured:

you described her to me, your ideal
woman. You love me because you
think me simple as young girls should

An Open Letter.

To the Residents OF Yale and Adjacent Country:
1t has been definitely settled that the
next Soldiers and Sailors Re- Union of
the district comprising the counties of
Macomb, st. Clair and Sanilac, will be
held at Yale, OH Sept. lst and End. The
meeting was held last year at Rich
mond, and about 1000 people were
there entertained. This means that
we, as a community have something to
do. 1t is duty incumbent upon every
patriotic citizen to do everything in
his power to see that these guests to
whom we owe so much have the best of
entertainment, and to entertain 1000
people we must have hearty co-opera-
ton throughout the village and sur
rounding country. OF course this re-
union is something that the surround
ing country should be as thoroughly
interested in as the people of the viii
lage, and each must feel responsible
ty in the matter.
The committee requests that the
head of every household in Yale, or
living within radius of five miles of
the village get themselves in readiness
to furnish entertainment, and lodging
if necessary or food or supplies when
called upon to do so; that every house
wife within the same territory be ready
when called upon, TO respond with some
of the very best fruits of her culinary
department.
This last preparation will be for the
Banquet which will be held on the
second day of the reunion at the noon
hour.
This meeting has been successfully
held at Marine City, Richmond, Romeo
and other places, where the people
have cheerfully taken hold of the mat
ter and made the meeting a success.
We,feel confident that the citizens of
Yale and the surrounding country will
open their homes for these guests for
the two days they are with us. In al
most every case the entertainment will
consist of lodging for one night and
meal, or perhaps two, only. If all will
furnish this there will be no burden
upon any. Our reputation as hospi-
table people is at stake, and undoubt-
,edly all will heartily respond and be
willing to do fair share of the work.
Appropriate committees will call to
ascertain what each will do i'm the
matter.
Most Respectfully Yours,
