A Good Show

Owing to the fact that the reels for
the shielding Shadow" failed to arrive
Saturday morning as per schedule, it
left the performance at Princess Thea
tire trifle late in starting. The INSTALL
ment came on the last train and a
good crowd was waiting for the per-
formance.
Music for the evening was furnished
by the Yale Juvenile orchestra compos.
ed of Olin Cameron, pianist, and Archie
Ludington, drummer. The youngsters
certainly did fine and every number
was encored.
The second episode of the serial was
very interesting and exciting. The es-
cape of Jerry Carson from the convict
transport and his arrival at Ravengar
Island. The pictures follow out the
story as published in the Expositor.
The closing adventure shows Jerry in
the clutches of monster octupus and
the waters closing over him.
The episode which is printed in this
weeks paper will be shown on the
screen next Saturday evening. Read
it and plan to attend.
Besides the serial the managers put
on reel of Pathe news and one of
comedy, and those who attend are as
sured of their moneys worth in good,
clean entertainment.

YALE BOY, ALMA'S BEST
ALL-AROUND ATHLETE
Ed. Johnston, Local Young Man, Active
in Three Sports, and Oratory as well.

in Three Sports, and Oratory as well.
There are not many men who can go
through a college course without funk
ing in some branch of work when they
ere engaged in many outside activities
too, but Ed. Johnston, Almas star
athlete, has established for himself an
unparalleled record. His class work
is reported as being good, and he is
most active in other activities.
Ed was captain of the football team
and was acclaimed the hero of the field
by the great plays which he made.
One Of the greatest losses to the team
came when the captain had his shoulder
broken at a practice game.
When the basket ball season came
Johnston was again on the floor and is
playing a splendid game at guard on
the college team. The local boy is also
one of Alma's best pitchers, and already
Coach Helmer is working his man out
so that he may be able to handle his op-
ponents well.
Besides taking leading part in
athletics, Johnston is also interested in
oratory. In the recent college oratori-
cal contest he made a place, and he is
now working hard on a prohibition ora
tion for contest which is tobe held in
Alma soon.
Johnston is Alma's all.around man,
and we feel that our city can be proud
of the fine record that her son is max
ing in the Presbyterian college. MIR.
johnson expects to graduate with his
class next June.

A Mighty Mean Man

About the meanest man we know of
resides in this locality and he almost
equals the man up in Sanilac county
who beat his mother Mrs. Geo. Little
had a quantity of grain stored in two
granarles on the farms north Of Yale,
and when she was ready to take it to
market last week she discovered that
both the granaries had been broken
open and every bit of the grain had
been stolen. Any man who would
steal from a lady who has had the sick
ness and trouble that Mrs. Little has
experienced during the past year, is
the limit. A grain bag, bearing the
name of a man living near the place
was found near one of the granaries.
We hope the guilty party will be dis
covered and receives the punishment
he richly deserves.

Croswell Tax Rate Not High

There has been more or less COM
planning about the tax rate in Croswel
by those who we're paying their taxes
and to satisfy themselves the mayor
and clerk took up the matter with other
towns hereabouts and find that we are
not overly taxed. In spite of the fact
that it was necessary to raise 81 900 for
the new bridge and that $1,000 was
placed in q sinking fund to pay bonds
the rate was $l998 on thousand of
valuation. Two towns, Bad Axe with
1854 and Yale with Sl9.56, are lower
while Harbor Beach, Sandusky and
Marlette are all higher Harbor Beach
pays S2203, Sandusky S24.S0 and Mar
lette $3.50. Croswell has many i'm
provements that some of these towns
do not have and is arranging for pay
ing for them. Taken as a whole we
are getting value received for what we
have, as our lighting charges are con-
siderable less than some of the towns
and in no case is 1t any higher.-Cros-
well Jeffersonian, Feb. 16, 1917.

BOY SCOUT NEWS NOTES.

The annual camping trip of Har-
rison Boy Scouts will be conducted at
Beaver, Ark, the last week of June
The camp will be under the direction
of a special scoutmaster from st. Lou
is, who will be hired to take charge of
the camp. This man is recommended
by the Scout Commissioner Of Missou-
ri, and is an experienced man, who
can be trusted to take care of the
boys. Scoutmasters Gearn and James
will be unable to attend the camp.
The expenses of this scoutmaster will
be paid with troop money, and this
makes it necessary for each boy to pay
his own way, ANY work that would
help the scouts earn this money would
be appreciated by them. Rev. A. f,
Holloway will accompany the boys on
this trip, and the camp will be under
good management.

ing held at our NJ E. Church, South,
the past two weeks will close with the
reception of converts at the morning
and evening services tomorrow. Rev.
S. NJ. Yancey, of Rogers, has been do
ing the preaching, and the large con-
gregations attending, both afternoon

quence coupled with high purposes en-
able him to appeal strongly to all, and
he has done much good for Harrison

pleasant feature of the meeting has
been the cooperation of our pastors
of all denominations.

MAJOR AlF n. JOBLlN.

Hosts of friends in this locality will
learn with sadness of the death of
Major ALI H. Joblin which occurred
at his home in st. Louis Tuesday, after
a brief illness. He was buried Thurs
day at his old home in Batesville. He
was an ex-confederate soldier, fine
business man, and probably the best
known citizen Of North Arkansas.
For many years he managed all the
business of the Hill Fountaine Cotton
Company in this section and spent
much of his time here, making friends
everywhere he went. He is survived
by his wife and one child.

WOULD YOU BE A VOLUNTEER?

Harrison's State Guards Company
needs probably fifty more men, and
there is still an opportunity for those
who wish to go into the service with
a local organization, maintaining their
proper home pride even while serving
their country.
One of the inducements held out for
recruits is that the soldiers who enlist
in the National Guards will be kept
together and should they be sent to
France will be among home men and
acquaintances. Another is that on the
first of June the pay for priyateS was
increased from $15 a month to $50.
Still another is that the tern OF en-
listment is for the duration OF the war
Heretofore persons joining the nation
al guard have been required to sign
for stipulated number Ol years and
then retained on the reserve list But
the men who are recruited now will
receive an honorable discharge when
peace is declared.
To the young man between the ages
of q and 81, who wants to serve his
country in this greatest of her crises,
the last chance to do so voluntarily
comes between now and June s. II
he wants to be able to tell his children
that he was one of those who vOlun-
tarily offered himself on the great
altar of patriotism, he must do SO
before June 5.
After that date the matter is taken
out of his hands. He then is listed in a
compulsory classification that takes
no cognizance of his choice or desires.
He becomes one of ten million, subject
not to his own voluntary actions, but
to the order of the day,
If he wants to pick his branch Of the
service; if he wants to go with men
from his home city, with officers and
men he knows, officers and men who
will call his home their home, he must
choose before June 5.

cHAUrAUoUA PROSPECTS GOOD.
A Big Attendance Is Expected at the
Harrison Assembly Commencing
June %.

Ii the signs point right, We are go.
ing to have a most successful Chau-
tauQua this summer II is a little ear.
ly perhaps to go into details OF the
Chautauqua plans, and in fact many of
them are not yet decided upon, but
with the announcement of the program
and the general interest which is al
ready manifest, the indications are
that the week will be not only one of
pleasure and profit, but one in which
a great many people will be immense
ly interested.
1t may be that you are planning on
vacation this summer. In that case,
don't look to a distance for a place in
which to spend the time. You may
not be half as comfortable in the hot
weather off visiting as right here at
home with entertainment and amuse-
ment and all the big things of the
Chautauqua brought to you
The program is nicely varied with
features that will be of special inter
est to everyone, with an abundance of
music and entertainment to make the
week delightful and highly entertain
ing throughout.
We are looking for a good number
of farmers in Chautauqua week. This
is a splendid time for them to ease up
a bit on the work of the summer and
take a few days to enjoy some of the
good things without which farm life
becomes a tedious drudgery.
1t is expected that there will be a
good attendance from all points ON
the Missouri and North Arkansas rail
road.
AS to the sale of the season tickets,
every live business man in town will
have tickets to sell when the time
comes. No one need be troubled about
finding a place to get tickets. But the
committee is not going to fool them
selves by sitting by and waiting for
persons to come in and buy tickets.
That's all very we'll in theory, but the
way to round them up is to go out and
bring them in. So you may depend
upon it, some one will call on you
within a short time. And it would be
fine for you to have your mind made
up to go by that time and have the
money ready.
The whole thing of putting on a
Chautauqua as everyone knows, is a
public-spirited work and for that rea-
son everyone should do what they can
to make the work of these citizens as
easy as possible.
Harrison is known as a town of
splendid churches and good schools,
and alongside of these should come a
good, strong Chautauqua appealing to
all classes of people and including all
the people of the entire community.
Such a Chautauqua we propose max
ing this.

in Harrison and vicinity with a view
to the enforcement OF the game laws

laws carefully and apply to the circuit

cost them but S11O. The proceeds
from this license goes to the proper
protection of our fish and game and
regulation of affairs along standard
lines. Mr.. Cochran will visit the sec
tion periodically in the future and see
to the interests of both the game and
the spOrtsmen.

shape than it has ever been before.

MARRIAGE REPORT FALSE.

One of the most unpleasant of jour

piece of news, which is published
seemingly on good authority, is wholly
wrong and founded on nothing but the
imagination probably Of some gossip.
This was the case last week with the
Times item which announced the mar
riage of S. s. Denton, Of Omaha, to
Mrs. Minnie Hulen, who was the for.
mer's wife many years ago. 1t sound.
ed so natural, and so many friends
here was pleased with the supposed
reconciliation that we accepted the
rumor without investigation. But both
parties have assured us that the re-
port was without any foundation and
we cheerfully correct and apologize.
