Riders of the Purple Sage.

Playing the part of Lassiter, William
Farnum will be the attraction at the
Princess Theatre Tuesday evening,
May 20 in screen adaptation of Zane
Grey's famous novel, "Riders OF the
Purple Sage"
In this virile drama of pioneer days
in Utah, Mr.. Farnum portrays the part
of Western gun-man-not the vicious
type of killer, but one who, like de-
vastating angel, swept through the
countryside of the early Mormon set.
tlement and made his name terror to
right great wrong.
Laid in Utah, in the days when un.
scrupulous leaders of the Mormon
church were trying to foist polygamy
on their followers, the story has to deal
with the abduction of a girl by pow
erful dignitary of the church, the life
long hunt of her brother for the guilty
man and the final accounting when
Lassiter, as played by Mr.. Farnum,
avenges the great wrong on the honor
of his sister in some of the strongest
scenes ever shown on the film.
The closing scene of this throbbing
drama of the great Western desert is
staged in the mountains, in spot OF
stupendous natural grandeur. To save
girl and her sweetheart from force
of pursuing Mormons, a hugh rock is
dropped down sheer cliff, crushing to
death many of the horsemen and seal
ing up the fleeing couple in valley
forever.
Running through the entire picture
is powerful, absorbing love story that
breathes the ruggednsss and the
wholesomeness of the great west and
affords an admirable opportunity fol
Mr.. Farnum to delineate those sterling
manly qualities which have already
made his fame secure.

OUR SOLDIER BOYS.

Capt. Fred Currier arrived at his
home in Yale Wednesday evening.
"Trick" has been stationed in Red
Cross Hospital No. 5, Paris, for the
past eight or nine months. We well
come him back to his home town
again.
Lieut.. Edward Johnston, our own
"Nip," arrived home from overseas
duty on Sunday last, having received
his final discharge from Camp Custer
the day previous. Ed had considerable
fighting expert nee lover there" but
withal he looks hale and hearty. He
saw service with the 18th Liberty
Division, of New York. His brother
Hugh drove him up from Port Huron
Sunday.
Rodger Welch received letter from
his son Basil stating that he had start
ed for home. He has been in a hos
pital in Luxemberg for some time. In
the letter he encloses a couple of pieces
of the money used by the soldiers in
that country, also some flowers picked
from the garden belonging to the es-
tate on which the hospital is located.
Basil was wounded in the leg and was
also gassed by the enemy, but his letter
states that he is getting along fine now.
Soldiers who have been discharged
but still wear their uniforms must wear
the red cheyron. This is not only ad-
visable, but compulsory. An order of
the war department was issued about
week ago to that effect. Many SOL
diers, honorably discharged, are still
wearing their uniforms, but haye ne
elected to put on the chevron. In this
way they are confused with those still
In service and are liable to arrest. Of
ficers Of various cities are taking cog
nizance of the new order, and IL is like
ly more cheyrons will be worn or ar
rests will result.

LEST We FORGET IT
The Dates for Yale's Biggest Celebration
Are Only Seven Weeks Away.-Start
Planning Now For Large Crowds.

The dates for Yale's biggest celebra-
tion-July 3rd and 4th--are only seven
weeks away, and the time will soon be
here for our citizens to honor her
"Laddies Who Fought and Won"
This will be three in one affair
the citizens will join hands with the
Caledonian Association in making it
one of the biggest celebrations ever at
tempted. There will be something do.
ing every minute for two whole days.
The returned soldiers and sailors Of
the city of Yale, townships of Brock
way, Lynn, Greenwood, Grant, Mussey,
Emmett, Kenockee, Frem ont, Speaker,
Maple Valley and Elk are cordially in
vited to be our guests for these two
big days Everything possible will be
done to give them one of the best
times they ever had.
The Caledonian celebration which is
so thoroughly enjoyed each year will
be something worth while. at its
meeting in December last the Associa.
tion decided that its slogan would be
Bigger and Better in 1919" and from
present indications we can truthfully
promise that it will be.
There will be Hendersons Kiltie
Lads and Lassies; sam Munro, Can
adas Juvenile Harry Lauder; Alice
Dunbar, comedy entertainer; the Yale
Band; many prominent speakers; two
real fast base ball games, one each day;
program of athletic sports and also
many special attractions which the
Association is trying to land. These
doings will take place in the City Park
where there Is pie nty OF shade and a
fine well of cool, sparkling water. The
people of the surrounding country are
invited to bring baskets and picnic in
our beautiful grove.
Regarding the Homecoming feature
we predict the return for a visit to the
old town Of hundreds of former Yale
people-boys and girls who have been
away for many years, but who still
have pleasant memories of childhood
days spent in this locality. Many of
the old landmarks are gone and the
little hamlet is now a hustling little
city, yet each one who comes back to
visit their old playmates will see some
one or some thing that will bring back
to them "the dear old days" Quite
number have sent in addresses of for
mer Yaleites, but the committee wants
as many as it can get, so attend to this
little matter NOW.
Let's put aside all petty grievances
and make this celebration that will
always be remembered by those who
are present.

Senior Play.

The play given last Friday evening
by the seniors was the comedy "Out of
Town" but it certainly did not refer to
the audience, because nobody was out
of town that night, everybody being at
the Auditorium.
Through some combination of cir
cumstances never before experienced
the interrupted school days during the
fall and winter owing to the influenza
epidemic; the consequent delay toward
the selection and production of the
play and possibly some loss of interest
as would be natural, the play was not
given with as much pep and vim as is
usually displayed, but all things taken
into consideration the work of the sen.
iors was pronounced good and the
comedy was enjoyed.
The orchestra music furnished was
fine and the solos between acts by
Harold Hallman were excellent.

Improvements for Farm Homes

While .. E. Robey, Drainage Spec.
ialist of the Michigan Agricultural

Tuesday he planned septic tanks and
sewer systems on the farms of Edward
Lohr, Greenwood township, and Otto

pleted when Mr.. Robey makes his next
trip to the county in the near future.
During the past four years the st.
Clair County Farm Bureau, in cooper
alton with the Michigan Agricultural
College, has installed eighteen of these
for demonstration purposes on the
farm premises of the following: Angus
Mcintyre, Burtohville township; Frank
Workmeister, John Glyshaw, Eugene
Atkins, Alexander Cowan, Archie
Cowan, of Clyde township; Geo. Brick
er, Greenwood; j. G.. Brown, Kenockee;
A. j. Smith Lynn; Alvin Baldwin,
Mussey; +. G. Coburn, Riley; II. j.
Voght, Columbus; j, A. Low, Port
Huron, and North Westbrook, China.
1t is now possible, at a very moderate
expense, to have all the improvements
of the city residence in the farm home,
and the Improvement of these condi-
tions along these lines will not only
make living in the country more health
full, but will also make rural life more
attractive for the farm boys and girls.

Freckles and Blotches
 Are Easily Peeled Off

If you are bothered with any cuta- neous Flemish, it's a poor plan to use paint, pu~Ider or anything else to cover it up. Too often this only emphasizes to remove the disfigurement with ordi- nary mercolized wax. Applied nightly, the wax will gradually remove freckles, pimples. moth patches, liver spots. saIlowness, red blotches or any surface eruption. The affected cutiele is actu- the clear. soft. youthful and beautiful skin beneath is brought wholly to view.
 Ask the druggist for one ounce of mercolized wax and use this like you use cold cream. Remove in the morn ing with soap and water. Many who have gried this simple, harmless treatment report astonishing results Adv.

 T fell off in weight from 160 down to 96 pounds, and frequently would be confined to my bed two or three days at a time. My friends thought l had con. sumption but now I know it was my stomach and the complications brought On by it.
 When the new remedy, Dreco, was ad- vertised I went immediately and got a bottle and right there was the turning point for me. I began to improve at once. l have now taken two bottles and everyone sees a big change in me, and know l can feel the change. eat any thing put before me and never have one bit of trouble afterwards My bowels uioNc IcS uldriy every uds, Ho iiioic Ni@Ny spells, and the aches and pains in my back over the kidneys are all gone. l am getting stronger every day and re- gaining my lost weight.
