HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUR
FAY0RlTE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
In their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaceos employ some
fayoring Ito improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of flavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious of all
MISUNDERSTANDING. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in a great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity Of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

BIG CAMPMEETING

From present indications this
year will be the biggest and best
they have ever held in this part
of the state. Many of their most
prominent speakers will be pres
ent, and large gathering is
looked for. The Principal speak
er will be Rev. David Hill, (The
Lumber Jack Preacher.)
The dates for the meetings are
set for August 9th to September
3rd, and the tabernacle will be
pitched on the city park grounds.
This has been a yearly event
for our city for the past few sea-
sons, and Mr.. Dodge informs the
Expositor that the Mennonite
people like the way the Yale peo-
pie treated them and says that if
certain concessions were offered
them this would be made their
permanent camping ground. Each
year the city has entertained
large crowds, brought here
through the meetings, and we be-
lieve the proper thing for our peo-
pie to do would be to meet those
in charge of affairs and grant
their requests.

Arthur Kilbourn, a former resi-
dent of this city, had shot and
killed himself that morning at his
home in Detroit.
For a number of years Mr.. Kill

in the house at the time, but did
not hear the shot fired.

Riley township 43 years ago and
for the past twenty years or more
he had made his home in Yale and
vicinity up to three years ago,

Taken Arsenic

With mind warped from

Robbins, while alone in her home
on Saturday morning last, took
arsenic and lay deathly sick until
evening, when her son Jim return
ed from his work. DR.. Pollock's
professional services were i'm

neighbors assisted in making her
as comfortable as possible, re-
lieving her of the poison, of which
she had taken too large a dose.
Mrs. Robbins is slowly coming
back to herself and it is hoped
she will soon be as we'll as usual.
Her husband died some three
years ago and daughter a few

Next was the music. In the Co

Then there were moving pic

missionary, educational and eng

the Grand Stand was erected a
great screen 115 feet square, on
which were shown many beauti-
full pictures every evening, both
stereoptican and moving. The
grand stand contained twelve to
twenty thousand people every
evening.

refreshment stands, candy, pea
nuts, pop corn and cold drinks.
But there was nothing objection
al on the grounds, no place tor

money trying to throw a ring over
a coin or any other gambling de-

seen on the grounds, no profanity
was heard. 1t was a clean crowd.

There was a spirited atmos-

that his life had been changed

SATURDAY NIGHT CROWDS

Last Sturday night saw one of
the largest week end crowds that
our city has seen in many day
the farmers all coming to town af-
ter hard week spent in the har-
vest fields. There is bumper
crop in this locality, and the farm
ers are trying to get it off with
out the necessary help, which
makes it mighty hard shedding
for some of them, and in many
instances the housewife turns in
and lends helping hand.
Realizing thar the Yale mer-
chants are selling their goods
cheaper than most places, the
crowd not oGly cones from this
imme liate localitJ. but from MANY
miles around AMI the result is
that every saturday evening sees
our streets lined with autos and
horses ai,i rigs, the owners of
same con- :Ig here to do their
weekly shopping.
This is one of our best proofs
that Yale is a good town to live
in, and everyone is invited to tell
his neighbor of the many bar
gians in store for him.

COUNTY GETS
TRUCKS FROM
GOVERNMENT
Will Be Used In Road Work
Commission Opens Bids for
More Roads

Six three-ton trucks used by the
government during the war were
secured by one of the county road
commissioners from Lansing offic-
ials yesterday to be used in st.
Clair county for all kinds of road
work. They are worth about $780,
600.
The government has found it
self since the signing of the peace
treaty with a large number of
trucks on its hands with no use
for them. 1t was decided to ap-
portion them among the states of
the union, and allow each state to
distribute them to the several
counties.
By making a personal trip to
Lansing and comforting with Off
cials there, the road commission
er was able to secure six of the
trucks for the use of st. Clair
county. Although they are mere
ly loaned to the county, it is un-
derstood that this was done pure
ly in order that the county would
not sell them.
When the bids were opened this
noon in the road commissioners
office, it was found that only one
contractor put in a bid for the
Harris road from Jeddo to the
Lake Shore road. Earl Wilton
offered to construct the road
complete less culverts and bridg-
es for $72,978, to build the cul-
verts and bridges for $8,528.90,
and to build the road less cul-
verts, bridges and gravel for $46,-
0S0, the gravel to be furnished by
the county at the Jeddo station
and the contractor to haul the
gravel from there to the road.
On the road north of Capac,
called the Mussey-Lynn road Her
bert Campbell put in bid for
the road complete less gravel,
bridges, and culverts for $70,585,
the county to furnish gravel at
the Capac station. j. II. Baer Of
fered to build number one bridge
for $17,674, number two bridge
for $13,619 and the culverts for
$35,716.
After the county engineer has
gone over the bids and estimated
whether they are too high or not,
the commissioners will meet and
decide to whom the contracts will
be let. 1t is expected that this will
be done next week.

COURT DECIDES
BOOZE CAUSED
EARLE TO SELL
Maple Valley Farmers Plea That
He Was Drunk Wins
His Suit

Judge Harvey Tappan yester-
day rendered a decision in favor
of the plaintiff in the case of
Thomas Earle, a farmer in Maple
Valley VS.. James f. Crysler, form
er owner of the Jackson house at
Yale. In the bill of complaint,
filed some time ago, Crysler was
charged with unduly influencing
Earle who was intoxicated from
liquor furnished by the defend
ant, to purchase the Crysler farm
about two miles north of Yale.
According to facts brought out
in the bill of complaint, Earle,
some time ago while drinking at
the bar of the Jackson house en-
tered into an oral agreement with
the owner of the hotel in which
he agreed to buy his farm of 120
acres. According to the terms of
the agreement, the plaintiff was
to pay $1,000 cash and also turn
over a threshing engine and a
separator outfit for the farm.
A few weeks later it is claimed
that Crysler with three other men
with three quarts of liquor came
to the Earle's home after the en-
gine and separator. 1t is alleged
that Earle signed the contract af-
ter a large portion of the liquor
had been consumed.
Proofs in the case show that
the farm owned by the defend
ant was valued at $500 and that
the plaintiff was to pay, includ-
ing the farming implements, a
total of $9325 and that Earle had
not informed his wife or any 9TH
er person of his intentions to
make the exchange of property.
in the findings of the court,
Crysler was guilty of violation of
the state laws by furnishing Earle
who was then intoxicated with
liquor and that the use of the
whiskey gave Crysler the advan-
tage owe rthe plaintiff, and the
court refuses to allow the defend
ant to take advantage of a con-
dition that he had unlawfully Gre
ated.
The court also finds that the
contract signed by Earle is null
and void and orders Crysler to
return the property and gives
him possession of his farm.
During the progress of the case
in chancery court, twenty wit
nesses were on the stand from
Maple Valley, Lynn township and
Yale. c. f. Gates and Alex. Moore
were attorneys for the plaintiff
while Joseph Walsh and c. l..
Benedict acted in behalf of the
defendant.

Pastor of Methodist Episcopal
Church Attends DOings at
Columbus. Ohio

This was the greatest mission
airy exposition ever held, running
from June 90 to July 13. The at
tendance is estimated to have av-
eraged $4,000 per day for the 20
days.
The missionary exhibits filled
seven large buildings and were
very interesting. The home,
church, educational, industrial
and social life of the people were
represented. For example take
India There were scores from
her villages, cities, homes and
temples. There were weddings
and funerals and religious pro-
cessionS acted out in which were
elephants and camels and multi
tudes of people. There were ma
tives dressed in their oriental cos
tunes and engaged in their native
occupations. There were her
Buddhist temples and worship and
idols. There were displayed fine
needlework, and wood carving
and many other interesting things
But above everything else there
stood out her pathetic cry for
Christian teachers and preachers.
The mass movement is on in In
dia. This means that whole casts
are turning away from their hea-
then practices and worship and
seeking Christ and Christian
teaching.
There was one building devoted
to Africa, two to America, one to
China, one to India, one to Eur
ope, one to Eastern Asia and one
to Latin America.
At every exhibit were trained
workers, either native or Ameri-
can, or both, who told the story
of the people represented-their
progress and their need; and at
every exhibit literature could be
had for further Information.
The next thingNn importance
after the missionary exhibits was
the daily giving of the pageant,
THE Wayfarer. This was given
in the Coliseum and auditorium
seating nearly 10000 people and
it was full at every performance
and the reserve seat tickets were
sold in advance so it was very
difficult to get a seat while l
was there. 1t was a dramatiZa-
tion of the history of Christianity
and prophecy of the triumphs of
the kingdom of God. The music
was from Handel's Messiah. The
stage settings were beautiful and
the whole thing was beyond de-
scription.
Next in Importance was the
public speaking. Among the
speakers were EXPIRES. Taft;

MAY Sell MEATS
AVID VEGETABLES
AT Low PRICE
Receives Offer From War Depart
ment To Get Surplus
Goods

Port Huron people will be able
to secure corned beef, roast beef,
corned beef hash, and bacon con-
siderably cheaper if the city COM
mission accepts an offer made by
the war department.
According to the letter received
from Colonel AID. Kniskern, quar-
termasterS corps, whose head
quarters are in Chicago, by City
Clerk Roy Dease, yesterday Port
Huron may secure surplus meat
from the war department at re-
duced prices or in other words at
the cost price to the government
from the manufacturer.
The city will not have to pay
for the goods in advance, but will
be given credit up to ten days
after receipt of goods. The city
will not be able to return goods,
however, after it once receives
them.
Along with different kinds of
meat there will be also various
kinds of canned vegetables and
should the city commission of the
Tunnel City accept the offer, it
would help to ease the high cost
of living greatly to Port Huron
people. Yale would not mind
getting some of the same goods
and it would not be bad move
of the city council to investigate
and see if our townspeople could
not share as we'll in purchasing
the surplus on the governments

TARTAN OF THE APES"
COMING IN FILM FORM
Management of Princess Theatre
Will Show This Story of the
Wild Next Week

"Tarzan of the Apes" which
excited considerable interest
among the readers of popular
priced fiction several years ago,
will be shown at the Princess
Theatre next Tuesday and We'd
nesday evenings in film form. Be-
ing the story of primeval man
or rather of a man brought up
among apes and endowed with
many of their abilities-it pre-
sents not few difficulties to the
movie maker. All of these have
been overcome in the film at the
Princess and apes swing realis-
tically from bough to bough in
the jungle while lions and leop-
ards seek their prey on the ground
below.
Intertwined with the jungle
story is domestic narrative
which grows tedious at times, and
the expedient of the cut-back is
resorted to a trifle too freely. All
of this is more than compensated
for, however, by the stirring seem
es of the jungle. A majority of
these were photographed in Bra
zil and several hundred natives
appear before the camera. The
picture, as a whole, in addition to
being interesting also has a touch
of educational value. An actor,
named Elmo Lincoln meets the
difficult requirements of the hero
satisfactorily.
