nation of representative in the state
legislature, first district, st. Clair coun-

Any and all Yale people, who go to
Detroit occasionally will be pleased to
know that the Rapid Railway system
has now established the Port Huron
Detroit limited by which special rapid
cars leave Port Huron at 7:30 a. m.,
1890 p. IN. and $50 p. IN. and make the
trip to Detroit in hours 80 minutes,
over the short line Fare 90c one way
or $50 return ticket. A return ticket
costs less than one way fare over the
Grand Trunk road. Try the Rapid
and you will go no other way.
If town does not reach after trade
it will come only as fast as it has to,
but if the merchants go after the bust
ness in the surrounding country, adver-
Using in every possible way ana make
good every word of their advertising,
trade will come from All increasing ra-
dius, the town will gain areputation for
being awake and it will forge to the
front. 1t is the men in town and not
altogether the men living within GER
tain number of miles from it that
makes town hustling business CEN
ter or otherwise.

of S27. The majority of the clergy are
secular, there being 1879 secular
priests and 1886 who are members of
religious orders. There are 1854
Catholic churches. The number of
children attending 1921 Catholic paro-
chial schools has increased to 1,066, 201.

Every honest occupation, whether la
Dor with hands or head is honorable,
and the sooner young men learn this
truth the better they will be prepared
TO meet the requirements of active life.
Too many young people get the notion
i'm their heads that labor with hands
has tendency to degrade. Such an
idea is wrong. no matter from what
point it is viewed. 1t is far better to
do any sort of honest toll than to loaf
about the streets. Ii is better to earn
an honest living by the industry of the
hands than to live at the expense of
parents or at the sacrifice of honor.
Industry and constant work are the
safeguards for society as whole, and
no doubt the saving mark for the in
dividual. Let all young men and
women keep in mind the fact that to
be squeamish over honest toll does not
speak well.
Jim Melrose and Clyde Adams with
Hugh Ferguson as chauffeur drove to
Peek in Jim's new automobile last
Thursday. The run from Yale to
Peek, nine miles and half, was made
i'm just 30 minutes. 1t is said that only
the high places on the way up We're
touched but on the return trip the
low places. When near the Tomlinson
farm coming home in the evening, the
main spring to the auto broke along
with other parts Of the machine, which
totally disabled it. The boys took
their coats off and went to work to re-
pair the broken parts. They all
worked faithfully until about $50
o'clock Friday morning, yet the ma
chine was in no shape to carry the
boys home. Clyde Adams, who had to
he at work i'm the Creamery at seven
O'Clock, decided he would "hoof it"
rather than take any chances OF reach
ing Yale in the auto in time to go to
work lie struck out and at just six
o'clock by Geo. Kearney's waterbury,
Clyde reached the city. George says
Clyde was covered from head to foot
with black grease and a more tired,
forlorn-loOking lad you never saw.
Jim and Hugh reached Yale In the
automobile some time during the day,
but no one knows. II Is thought they
took the side roads and streets, jim
has been busy since putting the broken
parts In proper repair and he says that
he will not be caught In such a strait
again.
