and he has finally decided to accept
this call as soon as arrangements can
be made for the transfer from the First
Presbytry to the Monroe Presbytry.
Rev. Mr.. Case has assumed leading
position in the community and in Pres

paid during his pastorate.

the local option fight two years ago and
also as a specialist in Sabbath school

near by counties. Rev. Mr. Case was
the moderator Of the Flint Presbytry

chairman of the temperance committee
Of the Presbytry. He is active in
Masonic circles and the Odd Fellows
of Port Huron will remember him as
the orator at the memorial services of
the |. o. +. two years ago at Lakeside
cemetery.
The pastor has been deeply interest
ed in the activities of the ysung peo-
pie and for the past three years has
coached the high school football team
of Yale. This team was not scored up

Deputy Oil Inspector Here.

l.. ii. Howse, of Brown City, deputy
oil inspector for the 18th district OF
Michigan was in the city Wednesday
looking over the condition of gasoline
tanks and receptacles. He informs the
Expositor that he found the people OF
Yale generally very strict in regard to
the red. act which requires any re-
ceptacle containing gasoline must be
painted vermillion red and plainly
lettered with the word gasoline"
Three minor violations were found but
when the violators attention was call
ed to the defect they very cheerfully
complied with the requirements of the
law. The penalty for not properly
painting and labelling receptacles in
which gasoline is kept is $500 and
S2 80 cost for first offense. Ignorance
of the law will not excuse you. In
spector Howse will visit Yale again a
little later and hopes to find condi-
tions in as good shape then.

Pleasant Showers.

Mr.. and Mrs. William Fox of Green
wood were burned out of house and
home four weeks ago on Tuesday. TO
have neighbors who sympathize with
you in your troubles whether great or
small and are charitable to an unlimit-
ed extent is blessing. This is tn e
case with Mr.. and Mrs. Fox. Two weeks
ago Tuesday the ladies of the vicinity
gave a shower at Geo. Oatman's home
and the unfortunate couple who lost
nearly everything they had of this
worlds goods were made the recipients
of an abundance Of household furniture,
food and clothing. Again week ago
last Tuesday the ladies of Sacred Heart
parish met at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Hayes when again the liber-
ality and friendliness was shown. Mr..
and Mrs. Fox feel very grateful to each
and every one who came to their as
sistance in time of need.

Pleasantly Surprised.

Last Friday evening Rev. Saxbee's
people surprised him and his good wife
by walking into the M. T.. parsonage
and making themselves at home for a
few hours.
The company was jolly one and the
evening was pleasantly spent, with
amusements, music and light refresh
ments. A gift Of fine rocking chair
was left behind after the departure of
the guests as a reminder of the esteem
i'm which their pastor and wife are held.
Conference time is near and it is not
known whether this church will be
served by the same pastor or not, but
the good will of the people was shown
in this happy gathering.

If ocALA COULD DO LIKEWISE

1t would be a happy day for Ocala
and, indeed. the whole inland empire
of Florida If she were in position to
duplicate the celebration recently wit
messed at Spokane and for the same
reasons which inspired the jewellers
of that region to run riot with joy.
For twenty years its citizens have
carried on a war against the unjust
inland rate determinations until fin
ally the just claims that its people set
up were recognized and certain con-
eessions were made to them which in
the end will be followed by full re-
cognition.
AT the celebration Mr. c. H. Jones
spoke of its benefits as follows:
Naturally the jobbing interests
are the first to profit by this reduc-
ion in freight rates. It will. of course.
heavily increase the jobbing business
and il opens q distributive field from
which our iobbers have hitherto been
barred. but in so doing the benefits
are brought 10 every person living in
this vast territory. To the consumer
most of all. this news should be vel
come Hitherto the residents OF Spo-
kane. or any other town in this dis
trict have been compelled to pay q
higher price for many of the neces~
saries and some OF the luxuries than
should be their just share.
You can confidently expect that
prices will be lowered They must be.
and in the lowering Of prices TO the
consumer viii come a greater and
fuller development OF our resources.
1t would be folly for III epeople o. the
Inland Empire 10 contend that with
only the limited development which
have made up TO date. we are self
sustaining. On the contrary. there
are many articles and commodities
which we must buy from the east
for years TO come, but when these
commodities are laid at our doors at
more reasonable prices We are in po-
sition TO encourage greater migration
10 this country.
I'VE can truthfully exploit our fer
tile lands and not be compelled TO ad-
,ise the purchase that while he will
reap the rewards of his labor from the
soil. at the same time he must pay
such extra toll in freight rates that
his income is not proportionate."

GIBBONS FAWORS CHANGE i'm
LEASE SYSTEM

Passing through Savannah the
other day, Hon. Cromwell Gibbons,
candidate for governor of Florida.
was interviewed by a representative
of the Savannah News. That paper
says:
In the coming campaingn one of the
principal issues will be the proposed
adjustment of the convict lease sys-
TEN.
Il am heartily in favor of abolish
ing the lease system, and instead of
leasing the convicts / favor putting
them on the roads throughout the
state, so that the roads in Florida
will be second to none in the union.
l believe that this can be done with
out an extra expenditure by the state.
l would also place large number of
them on a penitentiary farm to raise

be partially self supporting in that
they will raise practically all their

convicts humane treatment and TO
give the state good roads, which to-
day are essential.
while convicts have been used
chiefly by the turpentine and phos-
