SCHOOL WEEK is TO
BE OBSERVED
Begins Monday April 11th-GOv-
ernOr Issues Proclamation

The week beginning April IL,
has been designated as school
week" by Governor A. E. Sleeper,
who has issued the following pro-
clamation in connection with the
event:
Unusual economic conditions
have affected all lines of business
and all professions. There is to-
day in Michigan and this condition
is common to all of the states of
the Union, an alarming shortage
of teachers and the work of our
schools is consequently greatly
hampered. The need of efficient
teaching is fundamental and any
thing that interferes with the pro-
per work of the teacher is calcu-
lated to do the commonwealth a
real injury. What can be done to
remedy present conditions An
educational campaign, with a spe-
cial effort to enlist the interest and
sympathy of the best of our young
people in the cause of education,
ought to be helpful, and the sug-
gestion that a particular week be
definitely set apart as school
week" seems to me to be a most
valuable one.
Therefore, l, Albert E. Sleeper,
governor of the state of Michigan
do issue this my proclamation and
designate the week beginning Apr.
II, 1920, as school week." and /
urgently request the press, the pul
pit, all clubs and other social and
educational organizations to give
thoughtful and earnest consider
alton to the problem of the supply
of teachers and to set aside some
portion of that week for the dis
cussion of this and other school
problems.
Given under my hand at the cap
itol in Lansing, this thirtieth day
of March, 1920.

Town Meetin' Barely
Noticed In Yale This Year
Election Day Was a Very Quiet
Affair in City.-Oniy 9S
Votes Were Cast

Were it not for the fact that the
coming of election day had been
heralded through the columns of
the paper, and the necessary no
tices posted, one would hardly
have known that Monday was the
day for electing city officers. so
quiet an affair was it. In the en-
tire three wards of the city of Yale
only ninety-eight of our citizens
took enough interest in the matter
to go to the poles to vote.
Of course there was no contest
on in city affairs, but Monday was
also the day when the people, both
men and women had the chance to
register their preference for can
didate for the highest Office in the
gift of the people of the U. S.
president, and the fact that only
a very small percentage of our
people turned out showed that
they were either not aware of this
fact or didn't care how it went.
There was also a ballot on nat
ional committeeman, and this one
ballot should have carried large
vote.

election

The Auditorium was we'll filled

This comedy in three acts, was

there have been many and various

ready said that he would be can
didate for the nomination at the
primaries in August.
Judge Hart came into the office
he now vacates in very similar
manner, almost exactly eight years
ago. At that time Judge S. A.
Graham had resigned to accept the
cashiership of the st. Clair Coun-
ty Savings Bank and Mr.. Hart, who
had been probate register, was
elevated by Governor Chase Os-
borne to the judgeship. Judge
Hart was elected to the Office in
the fall of 1912 and again in 1916.
His term would expire January 1,
1921.
1t is an interesting fact that
Judge Hart leaves the Office of pro-
bate judge drawing less salary
than when he took the Office. The
salary of probate judge is based
upon the population of the county
and when the judge took office the
salary was based upon the popula-
Ikion of 1900. The 1910 census
showed a decrease of population in
ISt. Clair county, whereupon the
salary was proportionately reduc-
ed and will continue so until the
new census shows a heavier pop
Iplation in the county.
81 have resigned the Office of
Judge" said Judge Hart to The
Times-Herald today, 'on account
of increasing pressure of private
business. During the past year
my interests in and about st. Clair
have called for more and more at
ltention from me, until now l feel
that my entire time must be de-
voted to my private affairs. l in
tend to resume the practice of law
as we'll as give all necessary atten-
tion to the business of Hart &
kScott.'

ence with each and every case be-
fore it, he is peculiarly fitted for
the job the governor has bestowed
upon him.
Mr.. Brown graduated from the
law department of the University
of Michigan in 1905, was at once
admitted to the bar and began to
practice in Port Huron, his native
Town. Four years later he became
probate register, which office he
has held continuously, from that
time, the only respite being his
service of three terms as legisla.
tive clerk of the house of repre-.
sentatives at Lansing, in which
position he was constantly active
in formally drafting much of the
Legislation before the house. Dur

Coaxed From Memory by a good pipe
and the Tea Kettle Song.
(By Vane Ouitas)

Wy NhhS OhlO[loJ
There is another old-timer who came
back to town last year after trying
his luck in Texas. The first time
saw John Stratton he was what Nels
Curtis calls a tumble-weed farmer
and was a hester on a little pinnacle
in what used to be, part of Nels'
range. John was pesterin' around
the home of B. T. Ross considerable,
so Kate had to take him and try to
make something out of him.
My pipe is about out but one fond
memory more comes up, it will please
all of you. Ma Herlihy, Ma Chapman
and Ma Sellers announced a "foor-
ray" for everybody at the "Brown
Mansion" ont in their neighborhood.
Did we go? I'll say we al Invent!
Without invitation came the rain,
more rain, and several heavy dews
combined. The popular song that
was: "We won't go home till mornin"
and we didn't. Fact is it rained 50
hard we couldn't, but never has such
a party been had before or since.
Whoa! back up with me folks! l
want to tel lyou something serious.
About three weeks after we arrived
in Taiban one Sunday morning the
Missus and me agreed for once that
we would go to church, so we dug
down into the bottom of the old VIM
dow seat which came along with us
as baggage and pulled out our relig-
ion, pressed and Strengthened it, IRON
ed out the wrinkles, and put it on,
stretched out our faces and assumed
that holier than thou expression and
drove forth to church. There we
heard Brother Prince exhort upon the
gospel of Saint Paul. On account Of
his words our religion was much in
evidence for some time, but for the
usual reasons we discarded it again
and didn't have occasion to put it on
any more until Brother Self held forth
here and then we didn't wear it long.
Now since Brother Evans has hove
in sight we have again dug the old re-
ligion down out of the attic, busted
it off, brushed it and dry-cleancd it
get that dry--and am betting the
Missus wears hers every day. My
pipe is out, l am going to bed.

Ray Keck, George Welsch and Frank
Benn were in Indianapolis, Thursday
In consultation with Adjutant General
Harry B. Smith in regard to the forma-
ton of the Richmond company. Per-
mission to form the company was
gained.
Members of the committee said that

veterans of the World War, that some
military organization be formed.

The length Of enlistment is to be for
one year for ex-service men and three
years for others. The pay is divided
into seven grades ranging from $1O6

Adjutant Smith stated that compa-

being shown in the northern part OF
the state where the labor unions were
backing the organizations. The first
city in Indiana to be mustered in will
be Michigan City, which has a COM

The formation of the local unit is in
accord with the army reorganization
bill passed by the last congress. All
equipment will be furnished by the
federal government.
