A Bigger, Better Paper

On account of the extra contracted
home and foreign advertising we are
compelled, for a time at least, to issue
a larger paper. We haye been using
from three to seven columns of our
ready-prints each week, but ads that
are sent to Detroit get pied and mixed
up in other ways, and besides this, the
extra ads keep right on coming. Last
week we had to turn down couple of
nice orders on account of lack of space.
The only way we can figure it out so
as to handle all of our advertising and
at the same time give our readers all
the news is to issue twelve-page
paper, which we start this week and
as long as necessary to meet the de-
mands of the advertisers.

ENGLE-LEPIEN.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph
Engle in Greenwood township was the
scene of wedding festivities last Thurs.
day, the occasion being the marriage
of their daughter, Pearl Mae, to Fred
Lepien. The wedding ceremony was
performed in the presence of two hun
dred and fifty invited guests by Rev
Pancow, pastor of the Lutheran church
To the strains of the "Wedding Bell
March" played by Mrs. VIM. Kennedy,
cousin of the bride, the party took its
place on the front porch where the
ceremony was performed.
The bride was dressed in a charming
gown Of blue silk poplin with white
lace and braid trimmings, and was at
tended by Miss Hilda Kook who wore
tan, with Georgetta crepe trimmings.
Fred Engle, brother of the bride, acted
as groomsman.
Following the ceremony sumptu-
GUS wedding supper was served on
tables which were built on the lawn.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lepien were the re-
cipients of many useful and beautiful
gifts, including furniture, silverware,
dishes, table linen and cash.
The evening was spent in dancing.
Mr.. aud Mrs. Lepien will reside on q
farm here which the groom had in
readiness,

WHY NOT?

While visiting with one of our busi-
ness men the first of the week he said,
"why can't Yale have fair and races
each fall as well as the neighboring
towns? II it isn't possible to have a
regular old. fashioned fair, why not get
together and boost for monster two
or three-day street carnival for some
time during the fall of 1917, to be given
by the business men and citizens Of
the city,"
The idea is a good one and should be
pushed to the limit. Years ago, when
the place was lot smaller than it is
now, we had fair here every year, and
it was a hummer. Let's have get-to
gether meeting and see if something
of this kind can't be put on. Most of
the old boys of Brockway Center would
buckle into proposition of this kind
with a winning spirit. Let's try and
see if the new generation can't do as
we'll as the old.
Our columns are open for the dis
cussion of this subject, and we would
like to have the opinion of any of our
citizens whether they favor the propo-
sition or not We want to do anything
we can To make Yale the best little
city in the Thumb and good town to
live in. How about it, neighborY

to Port Huron with the newly married
couple, where they took train for a
honeymoon trip. Later they will make
their home in Yale, where they will be
welcomed by hosts of friends.

Another thing that helps to adver-
tise town, and for which Yale an.
nually spends quite few dollars, is a
good band. Surely town our size has
plenty of material, and with the long
winter months coming on apace, 1t
seems to US that the time is now ripe
for the organization of bunch of good
music makers. We believe that the
business men of Yale would lend their
support in financial or any other way,
and that before another summer rolls
around we could have "made-at- home
music for every holiday.

Straight through my heart this fact
today
BY Truths own hand Is driven
God never takes one thing away
But something else is given.
did not know In earlier years
This law OF love and Kindness;
/ only mourned through bitter tears
Ny loss ip sorrows blindness.
But, ever following each regret
Ger some departed treasure,
My sad, repining heart has met
With unexpected pleasure.
[ thought it only happened 50;
But time this truth has taught me
NJ least thing from my life can go
But something else is brought me.
1t is the law, complete, sublime;
And now, with faith unshakon,
In patience but wait my time
When any JOY Is taken.
No matter II the crushing blow
May for moment down me,
Still back OF IL waits love, | know,
With something else TO crown me.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.
THE OLD MOTTO.

We foud it in the attic where it long
had lain away;
The dust had yelled the letters IN a
shroud of misty gray,
A spiders web was tangled in its odd
fantastic weaves
Across the frame whose corners were
hand carved IN oaken leaves,
The old discarded notto-it was work
ed in green and red
On perforated cardboard, and God
Bless Our Home,' it said.
God Bless Our Home"-and loving
hands reach out from all the years,
The hands that always reached TO help,
that wiped away our tears,
And now we know full we'll that when
this motto held its place
They meant the faded prayer that to-
day we slowly trace;
That every morn of work to do, that
every night OF rest,
The good old home was by some mystic
benediction blest.
w. d. Nesbit.

TO OUR YOUNG LADY READER,

TO OUR YOUNG LADY READER.
To the young ladies who weekly read
this column, we are moved by the good
spirit to write few words concerning
their duties to their mothers. 1t may
be you have noticed careworn look
upon her face lately. OF course it has
not been brought there by any act of
yours: still it is your duty TO chase it
away. Would it not be a happy sur
prise to her if you should occasionally
bid her sit down and rest while you
performed the arduous duties in hand?
And how a tender kiss on her mouth
will cause her dear face to brighten.
Anyway you owe her kiss or two
Away back, when you were little bit
of a girl she kissed you when no one
else was tempted by your fever tainted
breath and swollen face. You we're
not 50 attractive then as you are now.
And through those years of childish
sunshine and shadows, she was always
ready to cure by the magic of mother $
kiss, your little, dirty, chubby hands
whenever they we're injured in the
first skirmishes with the rough old
world.
And then the midnight kiss with
which she routed so many bad dreams
as she leaned above your restless pill
low, have all been on interest these
long, long years.
OF course she is not so pretty and
kissable as you are; but if you had done
your share of work during the last ten
years, the contrast would not be 50
marked.
Her face has more wrinkles than
yours, and yet if you were sick that
face would appear far more beautiful
than an gel S as it lowered over you
watching every opportunity to minis
ter 10 your comfort and every one Of
these wrinkles would seem to be bright
wavelets of sunshine chasing each 9th
err over the dear face.
She will leave you one Of these days.
These burdens, if not lifted from her
shoulders, will break her down. Those
rough, hard hands thac have done SO
many necessary things for you, will be
crossed upon her lifeless breast.
Those neglected lips that gave you
your first baby kiss will be forever
closed. and those sad, tired eyes will
have opened on eternity, and then you
will appreciate your mother, but 1t will
DO too late.
