The Impending Nightmare

Tampa Tribune: - Movement
for inexpensive Christmas gifts is
spreading; but of course, there
will be many who will give costly
ones, such as a dozen eggs.
Florida Times Union = Now is
the time when pople are trying
to think up how many useless
things they can give to others
who don't need them.
Ocala Star;-A good many men
are wondering whether it is best
to go into bankruptcy now or
wait until after they are trusted
for their Christmas presents.
Ocala Star:-One perfectly nice
little lady told us she had to give
Christmas presents to thirty
eight different people. This x
mas gift business is getting to be
fierce.
Orlando Citizen :-Punta Gorda
and Tampa Tribune editors have
agreed that Christmas gifts to per-
sons over fourteen years of age
should be abolished. Jordan de-
clares Christmas has become a
nightmare. F" You know Editor
Jordan always has been a little
Fishy," Twas he who wanted
to abolish the Florida State Leg
lslature," and now he wants to
abolish Christmas gifts. F." That's
all right, if you believe in it, Pap
Jordan, but you should not upset
such a young chap as Lambright
IN the Christmas gift idea, for we
iont think the advertising mer-
chants in either of your papers
would thank you to advise the
buying public to quit the Christ

Two Hundred Pound Bear.

Frank Adolph, son of Otto Adolph,
was in West Branch Monday, March
goth, with the skin of large bear that
weighed 200 pounds which he captured
the Saturday previous with the aid OF
:. w. Furman, and as Frank related
the story to us we are Obliged at this
time to give him the name of "Nervy
Frank"
AS Frank and his brother were going
through the woods in the vicinity OF
Campbell lake, enroute to their work,
carrying axes with them, their farm
dog discovered big black bear hiber-
mating in an old tree. The younger
Adolph, Norman, was sent after
gun while his brother and the dog
stayed with their captive. On account
of the dog making such fuss, partly
through fear, bruin evidently thought
It time to move. Both the dog and
young Frank started In the chase, and
when the brave shepherd dog would
crowd the bear too close it would turn,
causing him to retreat until he came in
sight of Frank, then he would take to
a tree, where ne would remain until he
became tired. This he did several
times in the two mile chase. Every
time the bear left tree Frank faced
him with the axe, but failed to get
fatal swing on his game.
The younger Adolph met Mr.. Fur
man with gun, who soon overlook
the battling trio and after the skillful
use of his dependable shot gun with
several volleys of fine shot the bear
laid lifeless before the local nimrods.
Pretty good work for boy l8 years of
age, eh?-Herald.T Times and Ogewaw
Republican.
The young lads who took part in the
killing of the bear are relatives of M.
Adolph, Fremont township, and are
well known around here.

At the morning service in the Meth.
odist Episcopal church the pastor
preached from the words "Come see
the place where the Lord lay" or in
other words "The Empty Tomb"
After the address, in response to the
invitation, twenty-three entered into
full membership with the church.
The Sunday school was happy oc-
casiOn with an extra number out and
q large Easter offering.
The evening service will long be re-
membered, the Presbyterian and M. E.
choirs uniting in giving one Of the best
sacred concerts ever listened to in
Yale.
Prof. Sturgis was the director and
Mrs. j, Z, Staley organist.
Plants, cut flowers and Easter lilies
made beautiful the altar and surround
ing platform and the church was filled
from gallery to chancel.
The morning service at the Presby-
terian church was beautiful and
impressive one.
The decorations of greenery and
blossoms were charming, and the con-
!! gregation was large.
The services consisted of the install
lation of elders, the baptixing of infants,
the taking into the membership Of the
church sixteen people, and the com.
munion service.
The choir sang q fine anthem and a
solo by Mrs. Cochrane was most effec.
tive for the occasion.
Special emphasis was given the day
at the Sunday school hour by the large
gathering, music and offering.

| Protestant church was decided sue
cess in every way. The church was
well filled and the story and song SER

compliments as a reader, every one
hearing the story very distinctly. At
each climax of the story song was

were led to follow Him more closely
who came to the earth to bring life and
Immortality to light

OBITUARY..

Mrs. William Regan, who was taken
to the State Hospital, Pontiac, couple
of weeks ago for treatment, died at
that institution on Thursday, April 20,
1915, and her body was brought to this
city for burial.
Hannah Armstrong was born in East
Fora, Ont, June 7th, 1855. Married
William Regan, September 10, 1880. In
1896 she was converted under the labors
of Rev. w. II Haight at Ball church,
joining the Free Methodist church the
same year, remaining faithful men,
Der until her death.
Deceased was woman beloved and
respected by all who became acquaint-
ed with her. A husband, brother and
a wide circle Of friends are left to mourn
the loss of q loving and devoted wife,
and sister, a kind neighbor and friend
The funeral services were held from
the Free Methodist church, Yale, on
Sunday, April %, 1916, Rev. Wilson

sorrowing relatives and friends. Inter-
ment was made in Elmwood cemetery.

No "pipe dream" :about this. You
may put it in your pipe and smoke it:
The real goblin that will get you IL you
don't watch out is the great big Mail
Order goblin. This goblin has got the
bulk OF business in many communities.
Do not let IL ruin our community. Ii
is the greatest detriment and In the
end will be the means of lowering
property value. If you are loyal to
your home town you will patronize
your home merchant.
There Is sowing time and a time
to reap. The wise man said. "Bring
a child up in the way he should 90, and
when he Is old he will not depart from
IT," So IL is with the Toys of today
who are allowed to run the streets until
nine or ten o'clock at night. This
does not mean our town alone, as most
all towns are similarly afflicted--for an
affliction II surely proves to be to many
families In the after life of the boys.
Parents, look after your boys, and the
company they keep. IL will be worth
more than gold TO you and them in
the years to come.

 "Then you believe the mistake of the administration was it's refusal to recog nize Huerta? ?' I asked. Well, l think perhaps it might have been better if he had been given a chance to restore or der,' he said.
 Would the republicans undo all these things which an incompetent party has fostered upon the country?" I inquired, such as the income tax. the federal re- serve system, the federal trade comms- sion, etc. Would they repeal the Un- derwood law and do away with the pro- posed tariff commission?'
 'These laws are all good" he said, 'but they need to be amended and per- fected. The republican party is far more competent to perform this task than the party in power"
 So, after it is all boiled down, what is the answer? The two parties believe practically in the same things They have preference only in who is going to do them.

TT appears that the motion pie
 ture business in Birmingham = at the present time is again undergoing a slight upheaval as the result of changes in pro- grammes, falling off in patronage due to summer heat and a multi tudinous number of reasons that affect exhibitors at various times of the year. However, in Birming. ham the high rental paid for films and the high rent paid for the theatres has always been source of worry and the present troubles of the small fry'' in the local movie game.
 It is now rumored on Second avenue that one and possibly two of the 10-cent houses are to re- verse their policy and return to 5 cent shows. which will be com prised of one-reel and two-reel pie lures. The big five-reel features will be abandoned in these thea tres.

Claims Furman Fired First

Fl Paso, Tex, May 19.--General Gavira. commander of tine garrison at Juarez said today that his investigation of the killing yesterday of Sergt Harry Thurman of the Twenty-third infantry, developed that only one man was concerned in the shooting. This man, who is under arrest declares he grabbed the bridle of Fur mans horse, bringing him to halt, and that the American opened fire on him The Mexican returned the fire, according to General Gavira. Army men said they could not understand how, if Furman fired first, he could have missed his man at such close quarters, as lie was con- sidered a good shot.
