Let US hail theml Let us cheer them,
This brave. heroic band
Who took our flag to victory
In a strange and foreign lani
Their deeds VIII be remembered
In the future distant days
20 let us give these heroes
The tribute Of our nr3ise.
AZ Argonne wood AMI on the Meusc,
They rushed into the flght.
Twas then on history's pages
That they stamped their countrys
might;
And in their dash beyond the Marine,
When The Hun came Smashing thru
Ihey fought to save the glory
OF the Red and White and Blue
The prussian cur Was routed:
When they started toward The Rhine,
They never even slackened
When they reached "old Hindy's"
line.
Back from the sunny fields OF France
They drove the beastly Hun,
Win not a moments let-up
TIL the victory was won.
How many sleep beneath the sod
In 8 country DER the sea
Far from their own loved sHome
Sweet Home"
That you and I be free.
Sc cheer these boys-our soldiers
I The best we ever knew.
They fought and saved the glory
or the Red and White and Blue.

Have you read Rex Beach's famous
story of the -west-"Heart of the
Sunset? It's very interesting story,

Thursday and Friday of next week,

Theatre and visitors to our city will
have an opportunity to see play that

the opening of the big celebration in
honor of our soldier and sailor boys,
The oday celebration, which is un-
der the auspices of the Caledonian As
sociation, is strictly patriotic affair.
and every fair minded citizen in Yale
is boosting to make it worth while.
The Henderson Kiltie Lads and
Lassies will furnish the Scotch music

the best ever seen in Yale.
The time for the arrival of the plane
from Selfridge FIELD has been changed
and the flyer will ~Hrrive between 10
and IL o'clock, and an exhibition will
be given above the park. Some time
toward evening another exhibition will
probably be given, and the plane will
go to Bay Port for the Fourth.
The athletic sports will be the best
ever staged here and there will be a
fast base ball game each day. On the
3rd the Maxwells of Detroit will play
the Capac team and on the 4th the
Mitchells of Port Huron will cross
bats with the Emmett bunch.
On the Fourth, in place of the aero
plane exhibition we will be treated to
parade and drill by "our boys" This
will be one of the main events of the
two day doings, and the people Of Yale
will be there to see the boys.
In the way of speech making there
will be something good doing. On the
third Alfred Martin, of the Yale Pres
byterian church, will deliver the ad-
dress of welcome to "Our Boys" and
Rev. Ralph Crissman, of Port Huron,
will give one of his interesting talks.
On the Fourth Rev. Fred l.. Crandell,
of the Methodist Protestant church
will deliver patriotic address, and if
he can make arrangements to do so,
Gov. Sleeper will come and make an
address.
There will be plenty of amusement
for both old and young.
Arrangements have been completed
for big bowery dance.
A merry.go-round is expected to he
OH the grounds and the kids will sure
enjoy this feature.
For the Fourth there will DO grand
display OF fireworks, anu our people
will be treated 10 one of the best pyro-
technic displays ever seen la This part
of the state.
For both evenings Princess Theatre
will show Heart OF the Sunset" one
of Rex Beach's best western stories,
aud Tor those who love ~ "Trip the
light fantastic toe" we would say that
Manager Barr has engaged Apiece
Port Huron orchestra To furnish music
for grand ball Oh each evening.
Surely this is entertainment enough
for two days and the people of Yale
aud surrounding country are invited
to come for both days

Falls To Death

Yale people were Mortified last Fri
day evening when the news reached
this city that Charles Corey, veteran
Pere Marquette conductor, was instant
ly killed at Mill Creek bridge east of
Avoca by falling from the structure
to the creek bottom below.
Mr.. Corey was in charge of the Pere
Marquette train which left Port Huron
Friday at 6:20 p. m. for saginaw. AT
Avoca there was report that the
bridge across Mill Greek was on fire and
upon reaching that point the train was
stopped. Together with his brakeman
Conductor Corey walked onto the
structure to make an investigation.
Whether he suddenly became dizzy
or was stricken with heart failure will
never be known, but the brakeman,
who was standing near Conductor Corey
at the time, was Mortified to see him
plunge headlong to the creek bed be-
low.
Conductor Corey's head struck a
stone and his skull was crushed. The
bridge is 72 feet above the creek bed.
When assistance reached him Conduct
or Corey was dead, and his body was
placed aboard and taken to Saginaw.
The report that the bridge was on fire
was without foundation.
Conductor Corey had been on the
run between Port Huron and Saginaw
for twenty years. He was 55 years of
age and is survived by widow who re-
sides at Saginaw. Conductor Corey
had hosts of friends in Yale, and in
fact in every village and hamlet along
the Pere Marquette line to Saginaw.
