The Yale expositor., 1913-01-23

The recent mild weather puts off the
evil day for little stretch.
An old folks dance will be given in
Mckinney hall, Old Brockway, Thurs
day evening, Jan. 30, to which the publ
lie are cordially invited. Good music
and an oyster supper all for $l.50.
Floor managers, Chas. Adams and Pat
Cotter. Stabling included in the bill.
Pat Mckinney and A. w. Carlysle,
committee.
special meeting was held by Yale
Chapter o. e. s., on Friday evening
last, when Mrs. A. V. Parmlee and
Mrs. Chris. Schum were initiated into
membership, Mrs. Schum coming up
from Detroit for the purpose. After
the ceremonies were over fine pro-
gram was enjoyed and light refresh
ments served.
Mrs. Elizabeth Lothian entertained
the stockholders of the Yale Milling
Company and wives at the annual
dinner, on Thursday of last week.
This is always delightful time and
this occasion no less than usual with
the exception that several were un-
able to be present. After the fine
dinner served, a social time was en-
joyed by the ladies, while the male
portion of the company held a bust
ness session.
In the state senate on Monday a
bill was introduced by Senator King,
which provides for the making of
women liable for debts the same as
the husband. The bill is aimed at
the practice of husbands attempting
to get around the payment of debts
by deciding property to their wives
The new law would make the wife
liable for the husbands debts. The
law is good one and it can't be
placed on the statute books toe
soon.
The Presbyterian Bible School is not
growing by "leaps and bounds" Such
growth is rarely healthy. But it is
growing quietly and steadily-a few
new faces and lot of new interest
every Sabbath. Mr.. Beavis is justly
proud both of the work and workers
DR.. Hunters "men's class" on last Sab
bath was the largest it has been fol-
weeks but there are still some vacant
| chairs awaiting stragglers and gentle
men who occasionally forget. Let
there be full house next Sabbath
Hour-high-noon.
Here is a remark which one OF
our prominent citizens hands out and
states that he knows it to be true
IF the south wind blows on the first
Thursday in December it will pre-
vail for three months" 1t was a fact
that the south wind blew on this date
in 1912 and a great deal since This
will account for the soft, leaky spell
we are MISUNDERSTANDING. Later
The rain turns to sleet then to snow
and the north wind brings an icy
breath. Tuesday-The world lies
! cold in a zero atmosphere.
We sometimes get criticised for moi
publishing an item when the only
| trouble is that the critic had failed tC
see the item week or two before he
| looked for it. Then again we get
| called down for not publishing ar
item, of which we were as ignorant
as a child is Of the science of medi
cine There are just two ways that
we know of happenings The first is
| by seeing or knowing them ourselves
and the second is by having someone
else telling us of them. The moral
that you think we ought to know
We make mistakes of course; we
are human like you. We overheard
two individuals talking about the way
we ran this paper, and it made us
| feel like a Mexican peso with hole
punched in it. We double-timed il
down to our den and crawled in
through back window, resolving not
to go home until the shadows OF
night had fallen over Mars. But
| when we arrived at our desk and
looked into our subscription books, to
our amaZement we discovered that
this know-how-to-do-a ll-things-welI son
of nature was not subscriber. Now
what we are trying to find out is:
Whose paper did he borrow?
1t is not the policy of this paper to
be forever preaching to our readers
about the mail order" evil that SC
many papers are everlasting whack
ing away at. However, we do think
that the home merchant should be
given an equal chance with the dis
tant plutocratic mail order concern
| for your business. Suppose you want
to spend twenty-five or fifty dollars
on big order where you think the
Chicago house will save you money
Why not take the bill of goods to
your merchant here, tell him frankly
that you must buy where your money
will go the farthest and see what he
will do for you? We believe that this
policy would keep lot of money at
home that now goes to the big money
centers. Anyway it won't hurt to try
