ed the sedition bill prohibiting under
penalties of twenty years imprison-
ment and $4,000 fine, language or
acts Of disloyalty or obstruction OF the

would curb legitimate freedom OF
speech. the bill retains the broad tnht-
bition Of words or acts which support
or favor the cause OF the German en-
pire or its allies-or oppose the cause
Of the United States" It also would
punish wilful and "disloyal, profane,

Honorably Discharged.

Captain Wight, of the Medical Re-
serve Corps, U, 5. Army, who has been
stationed at Camp Custer for the past
FIVE months, has been honorably dis
charged on account of physical dis
abilities and returned to Yale Wednes-
day night.
In conversation with Capt. Wight
during his last visit to Yale, and in
answer to the question how he liked
his work he remarked: "I enjoy the
work but do not care to be a patient in
the hospital myself"
The Doctor had several attacks of
tonsilitis while at Camp Custer and
was laid up great deal of the time.
Seeing that his physical condition was
such that he could not stand the work
he was released from army duty with
honor.
Every citizen of Yale and surround
ing country welcomes the return
of Capt Wight and family.

An Agricultural School Will Be
Held In Brockway Town Hall
January 29th and 30th

A two-day agricultural school will
be held at Brockway Town Hall, Jan
uary 20 and 30, and the interest that is
being shown by the local people indi-
cate that it will be one OF the most sue
cessful ones of the season. Stock feed
ing and COW testing associations will
be among the live stock topics dis
cussed, and tile drainage, seed selec-
ton and improvements will be the
subjects relating to farm crops. The
schools that have been held so far this
season in Columbus and Burtchville
proved very successful both from a
standpoint of interest and attendance,
and the two day sessions are proving
to be very well adapted to the farmers
needs. Four lectures are given daily
and a large amount of time is reserved
for questions, thus enabling everyone
to obtain the information and help
needed for their particular problems,
E. =. Robinson, Assistant State Leader
of County Agents, has been secured to
assist in the Brockway meetings In
addition to serving several years as
County agent, Mr.. Robinson has also
had extensive experience as a farmer,
and is considered one of the best men
in the state on farm and crop subjects.
q. L. Brody, st. Clair County Agricul-
tural Agent, will discuss live stock
feeding, the farm seed question, and
other matters Of particular interest to
the farmers of ST. Clair county at the
present time.

Changes in Probate Order Dates.

All Probate matters and hearings
that have been set for any Monday
during the next ten weeks will be taken
up on the following Tuesday. This is
in accordance with the joint action of
the Circuit Judges, the County officials
and the officials of of the City of Port
Huron, whereby all county offices are
to be closed every Saturday and Mon
day until notice of the contrary appears
in the Port Huron Times-Herald.
This is done in an effort to aid the
State Administration in solving the
fuel shortage situation which is con-
sidered so serious as to warrant this
action.

AN OPPORTUNITY
For Tractor Owners. .--lnternation-
al Harvester Company Will
Hold Tractor Schools.

Of all the machines a farmer owns,
none is more important than his trac-
tor Especially is this true this year.
Tractors must be in condition to work
day and night if necessary to make
possible the increased production of
food we need. There must be no de-
lays due to unsatisfactory operation,
no loss from Misunderstanding
To this end the International Har-
yester Company of America proposes
to hold tractor schools in various parts
of the country in order that their users
may get the best possible service out
of their tractors
One of these schools will be held at
Yale Jan. 81 and Feb. l. The lessons
will open promptly at 8 a. NJ.
This school will be absolutely free
to all who care to attend, whether they
are tractor owners or not. Nothing
will be offered for sale at these schools
and there will be no selling talks A
course of instruction in how tractor
works and how to keep it working
will be strictly adhered to.
The instructors are practical tractor
and engine men, and the course is laid
out on large charts illustrated with
clear diagrams and described in sim
pie terms. 1t takes up the reasons why
an engine operates, what takes place
within the cylinder of an engine, symp-
toms that indicate approaching trouble
how to look for trouble and not over
look it, how TO get the hest possible
service from tractor or engine, new
uses for tractors and many other sub
jects of special interest to men in this
locality.
Those who attend the school will be
encouraged to ask questions on any
subject in connection with tractors and
engines. These questions will be ans.
wered at the end of each school ses-
sion. There will be demonstrations
with engines and tractors themselves.
To be sure that everyone who at
tends the school carries home with him
every point brought out there, book
containing all subjects discussed at the
school will be given to every man.
Every farmer who owns tractor or
engine should attend this school, but,
more important still, he should bring
with him the man who operates ais
tractor. Plan now to be present at
every session of the school, for the men
who do this will get the greatest bene.
fit out of it.
Don't forget the date, and be sure to
be there.

LETTER RFROMFRANCE
Cecil Ellsworth, a Former Yale
Boy Writes Nice Letter to
His Parents in Flint

The following letter appeared in the
Detroit Free Press Of Sunday, January
9th, 1918, was written by Cecil r. Ellis
worth, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Els
worth, of Flint. Cecil was born in Yale
and attended our public schools until
his parents moved to Flint. He shows
in the letter, which describes the feast
that fell to the lot of our soldier boys
in France for Thanksgiving day, that
Uncle Sam knows how to take care of
his boys wherever they are. Cecil is
with an engineering corps in France.
"Well, we are still q welcome curiosity
especially when we are drinking water;
for the French seem to think that all it
is good for is to wash in occasionally.
Went over to a Masonic club this af-
ternoon and am at the Y. M. G. A. to-
night. They must be given lot of
credit for what they are doing to
make US fellows at home. The "Y" is
the only place in the camps offering
anything homelike to the soldiers.
Now that the first of the series of
great feast days is over, are you able
to be around or do you feel rather in
capacitated? IT the latter, you have
nothing on me; for, for the first and
only time since joining the noble for
ces, was obliged through inability to
turn down some eats. Just to show
that their hearts were in the right place
and SO we wouldn't forget home they
served us the following dinner:
We started on soup, weighted down
with sunshine biscuits, more familiarly
known to soldiers as hard tack. After
disposing of this to the usual accom-.
paniment of necessary music, our iron
not white-clad walters led forth the
steamng body o. "turk," and with
the aid of sweet potatoes we made
short>work of the battle. or course it
was necessary to have red fire on 80
fitting an occasion, but on account of
the demand for powder in other sec.
tions cranberries proved very suitable
substitute In order to bring us into
closer touch with nature they allowed
our languishing eyes and stomachs to
deyour creamed carrots, salad and cell
ery not yet "cured." OF course, no
such dinner is ever complete without
the great American feature-pumpkin
pie-so L managed to nibble off the
edge of quarter of this delicacy,
Then to furnish little diversion we
had a contest in the form of a drink
and the winner named it lemonade.
To top it all off we had fireworks in
the forms of nuts, figs, dates aud an
apple.
Of course, after all this strenuous eff
fort we had to have some recreation,
so we spent the afternoon window
shopping. But promptly at o'clock
we presented ourselves for the Grand
Finale at the American Soldiers and
Sailors Club, which was stand-up of
salad, sandwiches, lemonade and pie,
rounded out with music. Taken all in
all it was almost as good day as if |
were at home, but

Seventeen men gave notice Monday Of
their intention to quit and the entire
force of the northwest stable refused
Tuesday to work under the old sched-
ule. These men have continued in
service. however, under the new scale.
The department is looking to Con-
gress for an urgent deficiency appro-
priation of $4,000. but even if this
item is allowed, it still will be neces-
sary to curtail street cleaning work in
order to pay the increased wages to

appropriation fail. very serious curtail-
ments of street cleaning work will be
necessary in May and June. the last
two months of the fiscal year. it is said.
