YALE County THURSDAY November 7, 1918
REPORT HAS
BEEN DENIED

The report which was circulated in
Yale this afternoon to the effect that
Germany had signed the armistice
the armistice terms laid down by the
allies was fake, but believe us, Yale
had some time while the excitement
lasted, everyone going wild. The
power house and factory whistles were
sounded, bells rung, people shouted,
the Boy Scouts bugles were out, Hen
ry Steenbergh with his kettledrum ac-
companied by VIM. Sayles, with an old
musket on his shoulder, and followed
by young America in line, paraded on
Main street. This demonstration last
ed all afternoon and into the evening.
Later reports seem to indicate that
negotiations would probably take two
or three days.

Congressman Cramton

Will give an address on conditions
as he found them existing in Europe
during his two months stay "over
there" at the Auditorium, Yale, Fri
day evening, Nov. 18th, at 7:30 o'clock.
Mr.. Cramton is assisting in the United
War Work Campaign which is being
conducted by the Y. M. q. A., X. of c.,
Jewish Welfare Board, Salvation Army,
American Library Association, War
Camp Community Service and Y. W.

Everybody should be interested
enough in this great work to come out
and hear what Mr.. Cramton has to say
about the needs and conditions Of oul
boys in England, France and Italy.

A ROUSINC VICTORY
Monday Was Big Day for Republicans. =
Entire Ticket Wins by Big Majorities.
County Ticket Easy Winner.

Tuesday was an ideal "Republican
day"--one of the real old-fashioned
kind the politicians used to bank on
and the returns plainly show that this
one sign at least had not failed.
The voting throughout the state was
comparatively light, and Yale was no
exception to the rule, there being but
23l votes cast. Of this number there
were 1877 straight Republican tickets
and 81 straight Democratic.
Sleeper wins out over Bailey by near
ly 10000. The balance of the state
ticket Jared about the same.
The biggest fight of the day was be-
tween Truman II. Newberry and Henry
Ford for the office of United States
Senator. Latest returns give Newberry
lead of nearly 4,0C0 with 273 precincts
to be heard from.
l.. Cramton has been returned to
Congress from the Seventh District by
handsome majority.
The Republican Legislative and
county candidates have all been de-
clared winners by nearly 2 to l ma
jority.
Gratifying indeed was the splendid
vote given our home candidates, Steve
Windsor for sheriff, and Joe Vincent
for county clerk, both by the city of
Yale and surrounding townships. Both
of these boys were reelected for their
second term, and their handsome ma
jorities throughout the county is cer-
tainly fitting reward for efficiency.
Every man elected will make really
capable official and when the time
comes for him to step down 1t will be
found that he was faithful to his
trust

Letters From and Items Concerning Yale
Boys Who are In the Service Of
Their Country

Extracts from letter written by sgt.
| l.. J. MenZies to his home folks dated
October 5, and "still somewhere in
| France"
ave have taken several hikes lately
and explored quite bit of the country
around here. l saw one little old church
yesterday in valley amongst copse
of trees which had been sealed up with
stones Vines and moss were growing
all over it. 1t was just as though the
people had closed 1t up till after the
war. Very likely the priest had gone
to war aud there were only few left
to GO to church."
"One sees some very interesting
sights in this country, interesting be-
cause they are different from what we
are accust omed to. A few days ago, l
saw an old lady, with wooden shoes,
pledding along the road, knitting on
some wooden socks at furious pace,
and leading COW. Then | thought,
what picture for painter who could
catch the right inspiration and label it
True Patriotism believe told you
about a similar incident at another
place where another old lady was knit
ting, driving flock of geese ahead of
her, and leading nanny goat"
"rhe middle aged ladies all wear
little caps which are spotlessly clean.
| can't understand how they keep them
SO tidy with the means of washing they
have at their disposal. Anywhere
along the road where there is a pool of
water, the girls and women can be
found padding the clothes with big
wooden paddle *++"
ave get good eats here, but of course
not very much in the line of vegeta bles,
Tonight, for instance, we had macaroni
stew, bread, celery and coffee. For
several meals the past week we have
had steak and onions, potatoes, ETC.,
which sure goes good when we are as
hungry as we can be-"

most steadily the past week, yet our

so. I'm lucky though, haven't taken
cold and am feeling great, although

Interesting Overland Trip.
Editor Menzies:-

Editor Menzies-
thought perhaps you would like TO
hear of some of our experiences In
travelling to Florida by auto. My son,
wife and myself left Yale on Oct. 4th,
arriving in Clearwater, Fla, Oct. 18th.
Came distance of 1850 miles, using
SO gallons of gasoline, some costing as
high as soc gallon, had no punctured
tires and no Inconvenience whatever,
except scarsity of sugar, potatoes and
bread, getting mostly grits and pam
cakes, served as substitutes. Sugar Ia
served in small envelopes. This pecu-
liarity is practiced throughout the mid
die states, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Georgia being more advanced, as is
Flerida.
Well, the trip was interesting to note.
The beautiful state OF Ohio with a
richness similar to Michigan except
that the oil wells are an enterprise that
we don't have.
Some of the people had to wait over
in Tennessee for days on account Of
poor roads, there being 30 miles of red
clay. But we came on ahead, before
| the rain,
In Kentucky we visited the old Lin.
coin farm, also saw the church in which
President Lincoln's father and mother
were married. The building is 102
years old. The chief crops seem to be
tobacco, negroes. mules and small huts.
| We visited mammoth cave, thousands
of feet below the surface of the earth.
Two maiden ladies own this place by
inheritance, and they make money by
showing people through, charging SIS
per visitor. This takes a person all
through the caye, and it's great
sight.
\ We saw the ruins of Libby prison
slnd the great cemetery where the Civil
war soldiers are laid. We slept in 6
h, )tel which used to be a hospital fol
oIu old.time soldiers.
