Fen Minutes IN Quaet7hought


DEFORE golf on Fourth of July morning. before

minutes of quiet Thought.
And the Thought should be something like this:
| am proud to-day that l am an American.
l am proud that, after many thousand years of
struggle by against their kings, there should have
been founded government in the world, kingless,
with ruler but the vote of its subjects with OPP
preston the oppression that the ignorance selfish
foolishness of men visit upon themselves.
am proud that it should have been in my country and
not in some other, that these words written and
signed one hundred and forty years ago to-day:
these truths to selevident that all men are
created equal that they endowed by their Creator with
certain unaenabe Rights that among these Life Liberty
and the pursuit of Happiness That these rights
instituted among Men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed
l am proud that-stumbingly to be sure and with
judgments often fauty-my country has nevertheless
held close to that ideal
l am proud that her threshold millions of men
and women of other lands have come, to find here fuller
freedom, better homes, larger opportunity And that
their pilgrimage has not brought them disappointment:
l proud that neither they nor can be hidden by
any to worship God in any way except as our
sciences may dictate; deprived of liberty advance
ment or public honor because of our creed
am proud to live in a country where Abraham Lin
coln born in hut with talents fit for palace could win
his way to the palace instead of being chained for life to
the hut.
am proud to live in a country where every factory
office and business block, every legislature, every bank
and university every pulpit and bench, bears testimony
that neither poverty circumstance bars in
teligence and industry from the rewards of success
am proud to live in country that, having had placed
in its trust priceless empire like Cuba could that
empire to its people, crowned with liberty and
security and health
With humble gratitude / recall to-day that none of
these blessings OF which proud have come to me
by my own effort that every of them is the gift of
brave men, and is stained with brave mems blood
And reverently and earnestly, pledge myself that
the spirit of the who founded this nation shall not
die out in me, in my household;
That and the children who are mine shall consecrae
ourselves to the task of passing unsuled the trust
delivered to hands,
That this nation shall continue to be- what it was
founded to be- an inspiration and an example to the
nations Of the world.
And that it, in the maintenance of this IDEAL there shall
ever come day when this nation will demand of me

THE COUNTRY FAIR

Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
last week were red letter days for cir
cles two and three of the ladies of the
M. K. church. On those three days the
people of Yale were entertained with
a Country Fair" in Central hall and
the large crowds which attended prove
that the ladies made hit.
The weather man went hand in hand
with Dame Fortune, and both smiled
upon the efforts put forth by the mem
bers of the two circles.
From the opening hour on Thursday
until the time for closing on Saturday
night, there was something doing
every minute, and the only regret was
that it was over too soon.
For weeks the committees in charge
have been securing the city and sur.
rounding country for relics, curios and
specimens, and they succeeded so well
that fanciers of these lines declare they
never saw better exhibition.
The fruit and vegetable display was
away above par, as was also the show
ing of plants and flowers.
The fancy work and hand painted
china was enjoyed by the ladies who
attended.
The pupils of our schools did them
selves proud in the display of work
turned out by the different grades. and
many favorable comments were heard
from all sides.
Many special attractions were Of
fered, but the one which attracted the
most attention from the men at least
was the self serve commissary counter
Real "fair" taffy was made and sold
on "the grounds" and it was one of the
best sellers.
The fish pond caught the eyes OF
those who love to take chances, and
the remark has been going around
that certain city officials tried to buy
out the whole thing.
The ladies are we'll satisfied with the
patronage accorded them, Sll6 being
added to their treasury,

Fox Chase and Horse Races

Wednesday was not only an exciting
day on account of the Primary Election
but it was doubly so with a fox chase
and horse races in the northern part Of
the city.
A large crowd came from the sur
rounding country and nearby towns
to witness the fox chase and
horse races. The doings came off at
the Great Northern Hotel of j. f.
Crysler.
Between fifteen and twenty fox hounds
were here from Avoca, Melvin, Peck,
Mayville and our home dogs, nearly all
of them entering the chase. The first
prize was won by Conley's dog from
Avoca, second by Reeves dog and third
by the dog which won at Capac week
ago.
The horse race was won by the Har-
mer horse, second by Jas. Browns
racer and third by Dougal Mckay.
Everything passed off pleasantly
with no disturbances whatever. Mr..
Crysler is well pleased with the success
of the doings.

OBITUARY..

Emeline Cheney was born in Blanch-
ford township, Canada, Feb. 18, 1853,
and died at their farm home near
Alto, Mich, at the age of 81 years and
8 days.
She was united in marriage to James
Cooper in 1876. The greater part of
their married life was spent at Yale,
where she united with the Methodist
Protestant church,
She loved her church with a real af-
fectioD, and was always happy when
it seemed imprudent for her to make
the effort.
Her loving thoughtfulness for others
was her chief characteristic and her
gentleness made her great.
The beautifying influence OF a pure
religion were spread over life and
character as spotless and charming as
was ever possessed by any of the noble
women who have lived and died during
ages gone.
AS such life was a blessing and
benefaction to all within the sphere Of
its influence, so is death of such a one,
a public misfortune as we'll as loss to
the home circle made desolate by her
departure.
1t is difficult to pay tribute to one
who seemed born to inspire love and
respect.
Life will never be quite the same to
those who know her. While those
nearest her will long for her with un-
utterable longlng-long for a mothers
counsel and advice and wife's gentle
and loving sympathy.
The deceased is survived by her
aged mother, Mrs. Cheney of Yale,
two sisters, three brothers, hus-
band, four daughters, Mrs. Philips, of
Detroit, Mrs. Teets, Mrs. Colyin, Miss
Ethel, a son, William, of Alto. One
daughter, Alice, aged 20, preceded her,
also one son having died in infancy.
"She will be missed, but her smile
is now showered beyond"
Services were held from the Alto NJ.

Of the services here.
At length then, the tenderest of
mothers is gone
Her smiles, her love accents, can
glad thee no more,
That once cheerful chamber is silent
and lone,
And for thee all childs precious
duties are DER.

Feed Barn Changes Hands.

Four years ago the 18th of this month
Charles 4. Martin purchased the 10
cent feed barn of John Ryno, since
which time he has conducted 1t sue
cessfully, giving every accommodation
to his patrons. This week deal was
made whereby VIM. Sayles traded his
80-acre farm, located in Brockway
township, just south of the city, for
the feed barn property, and will take
possession March 18th.
Mr.. Sayles has been compelled to
give up the work of farming. He feels
that the work i'm the feed barn will
be enough to keep him out of mischief
and bring in good revenue. We wish
him all manner of success in his new
undertaking.
Mr.. Martin is not decided what he
will go at as yet, but in whatever bust
ness he may engage he has the best
wishes of the Expositor.

HURT HIS FEELINGS.

Lytway, the butcher, had been very busy for few moments with a we'll known dictionary. Suddenly he closed it with snap and growled at his wife in the cash desk.
 "That Mrs. Smarte is getting too clever" he growled.
 What's the matter?" asked the good lady, surprised at this criticism of a good customer.
 "When she came in just now she told me ought to rename my scales the Ambuscade brand"
 Well, why?"
 "I've just looked up the word," went on the infuriated man, land the die tionary says that ambuscade means to lie in we!ght!"-Chicago Herald.

PANAMA NAMES NEW PRESIDENT
 NEXT SUNDAY
Elections Will Close Bitter Campaign. and Rioting
 Is Feared.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press ]
 Panama, July 1.-Balloting will take place Sunday, July 9, throughout the republic to elect a president to succeed Dr. Belisario Porras, whose term of four years will expire next month. There are two candidates representing different factions of the same party: Dr. Ramon M. Valdes, Liberal, and Dr. Rodolfo Chiari, Lib- eral- Republican.
 The election will bring to a close one of the most bitter shresidential campaigns the republic has witnessed in the 13 years of it's existence. From the very first there have been acrimonious political discussions in the partisan papers and charges and coun- tercharges of corruption have been frequent in both newspapers and the many fly-sheets that are always part of a presidential campaign in Panama.
 During the campaign the American minister, William J. Price, has closely watched the course of events, and there have been numerous confer ences between the leaders of the two factions. The United States is vitally interested because it guarantees the independence and peace of the little republic. These conferences have con- cerned themselves also with the ques- ton of election supervision. The fol- lowers of Chiari favor supervision, and say that non-supervision will mean the fracture of the public peace on election day through disorders and possible revolutions in all parts of the republic.
 Dr. Valdes' supporters declare there is no danger of trouble, and that if there should be it can easily be con- trolled by the national police. Dr. Valdes and his friends are bitterly opposed to supervision. The United States has manifested no disposition to supervise, feeling it to be an un- warranted interference in the internal affairs of the country. The military authorities on the canal zone, however, are expected to be instructed to pre- vent any threatened trouble.
 No great political principle has been involved in the campaign. It has been largely fought on the issue of ex- travagance, which the Chiari faction charges to the administration of Dr. Porras, who is said to be behind the candidacy of Dr. Valdes. It is charged that to Dr. Porras administration is due the present financial condition of the republic, which, for the first time in it's history, finds itself saddled with national debt of approximately S4,- 000,000
 Dr. Valdes is the representative of the present so-called Liberal party. He is locally regarded as the official candidate of Dr. Porras. Dr. Chiari, who also claims to be the candidate of the real Liberty party, and whose supporters are locally called the Chiaristas, IS the candidate of the former friends of Dr. Porras, whom the latter is declared to have antago- nized through his alleged high-handed methods of 1914 during the election of deputies to the national assembly.

This prescription for the removal oi freckles was written by prominent physician and is usually so successful in removing freckles and giving a clear. beautiful complexion that it is sold by any druggist under guarantee to refund the money if it fails.
 Don't hide your freckles under a veil; get an ounce of othine and re- move them. Even the first few ap- pl!cations should show a wonderful improvement, some of the lighter freckles vanishing entirely

AS 4 PEACE OFFICER.

The call for the mobilization Of the
national guard is probably the prelude
to intervention in Mexico.
Restoration of law and order in that
country is the duty Of the United
States under the Monroe doctrine. 1t
is also its duty in defense of our citi-
zens along the border and not less
from humanitarian standpoint II
we are the head Of the North Ameri-
can family of states and countries we
must exert our responsibility along
with our assumption Of leadership. II
we are to warn oversee nations against
interference on this hemisphere we
must police our own precinct.
Conditions in Mexico have gone from
bad TO worse under a vaciliating pol
icy. That country has been az annoy
ance and an immediate danger of Sc
rious involvement of the United States
with powerful nations. Bankrupt, mis-
governed or not governed at all. har
ried and oppressed by chiefs weak in
everything but the strength of the
banditti that follow them, Mexico has
become mere ferment of anarchy 1t
is as tho the resident Of a neighbor-
hood had gone insane. The very con-
dition of Mexico argues restraint and
the position of the United States geo.
graphically. as TO leadership on the
continent, and thru the force of long
established International policy and
principle lays responsibility at our
door.
II, as is probable. intervention comes
1t will have come at the end of a great
patience shown by the American peo-
pie to Mexico in the face Of insult and
outrage; and 1t will come. not as re-
prisal or in the spirit of strife but as
an 'unwelcome but necessary interfer-
ence with another nation which has
ceased to be d nation and has become
a refuge for banditti and an example
of utter misgovernment.
We shall have no war with Mexico.
If we go to Mexico City in strength it
will be as keeper of the peace OF the
continent.
