How Mary's Cat went to Chureh.

, Last Sunday we had something new in church. It was Mary's black cat Meg. Just as Mary and her mother turned the corner Meg followed them down the street. Mary and her mother went up the church steps and into their pew. Meg stopped for a minute and then walked up the steps. She did not go into Mary's pew but went up the broad aisle and up to- the minister and rubbed her head against the minister who smiled and Meg walked out of the church.

Sympathy.

Mary was a child about nine years old. Her mother always taught her to be kind to dumb animals. One day when she was going to school she saw some boys badly treating an old dog. She went up and took hold of the dog and said, You good-for-nothing boys, leave this dog alone" The boys were ashamed and went away. The girl took the dog home and cared for it.
 When she got home she told her mo- ther about it. Her mother said she was glad to have so kind child.

A. Spring Story.


 The sun shone brightly out of the deep blue sky. Its, bright rays struck a rob in which was perched on fence. AChirpr Chirp!' he said as if to say T am here, I am here.' You could hear the crickets' songs from the meadows and the frogs croak- ing. knew then it must be spring and started to look for the crocus and other flowers, and listen for other chirps. The flowers all popped up their heads and began to open their faces to greet the sun; the girls came out with ropes and began to jump and play different games. The boys were spinning tops, playing marbles and ball. Everyone seemed jolly and liked to play, pick flowers and enjoy the sunshine. We should have all the fun we can in the spring because it is very short, so, are you going to stay in the house or come out and find what spring really is?

YALE HORSES FURNISH
INTERESTING RACES
AT SANDUSKY FAIR

The following article is taken
from the Sandusky Tribune and
refers to two of Yale race horses:
"The races were speedy and the
pacing event in the 2:25 class was
a feature, the winner of first and
second money had to make five
heats for a decision. First place
was won by James Brown, a Yale
youth with Peter Harris, of Owos-
so winning second. About twenty
five entries were made for the
racing events and the prizes were
we'll distributed.
j. F. Crysler, of Yale, was Civ
en- repeated ovations over the fine
performance of Vera Direct, his
"guidless. wonder" who lowered
the track record Thursday by max
ing mile in 2:0812. This was her
initial public engagement and was
high class, thoroughly enjoyed by
spectators, and Mr. Crysler is to be
congratulated on his success in
training her. On Wednesday, an
attempt was made to pace her
with local saddle horses but she
was too fast for them to aid her.
On Thursday Mr.. Crysler follow
ed her lead with an automobile
with resultant record as stated.
This animal was purchased by
Mr.. Crysler during the fair here
a year ago, at which time she won
a five heat race while owned by
Chris Knowles, of Bay City. 1t is
wonderful that the mare should
give so excellent performance
in view of the fact that she has
been in training only since
spring"

FARM BUREAU NOTES

The st. Clair County Farm Bu-
reau has received a communica-
tion from the M. A. c. urging ex-
treme care in handling the potato
crop where late blight has made
it's appearance. Where blight of
the tops has occurred and soil
conditions are dry enough to per-
NIT, it is advisable to wait two
weeks after the tops are dead be-
fore digging the crop. Diggin.
potatoes while the tops are green
where late blight appears, leads
to infection of freshly dug tubers
with spores from the diseased
leaves. Such potatoes rot badly in
storage. The crop should be kept
in the ground until the tops are
withered and dried completely,
then if the potatoes are sorted
carefully at digging time, using
care to remove all distorted or
partly rotten tubers, little troub-
lie will probably be experienced
during storage. In most cases,
the blight outbreak has begun too
late to seriously affect the yield
this year, but will cause consid-
cradle loss in storage unless the
above precaution is exercised re-
garding harvesting.

Big Reductions in Prices On All
of the Ford Products Says
COmpany's Telegram

All Ford dealers on Tuesday re-
ceived notice of big reduction in
the wholesale prices of Ford
autos, trucks and tractors, to go
into immediate effect. Below we
publish a copy of the telegram re-
ceived by Jas p. Cogley, local
dealer:-
Detroit, Mich, Sept. 21, 1920.
James P. Cogley, Yale, Mich.
Reduction in prices of Ford
products. The war is over and war
prices must go. Effective at once,
Ford cars, trucks and tractors
will be sold f. o. b. Detroit at the
following prices:-
Touring, regular, $440.
Touring, with starter, $50
Runabout, regular, $395.
Runabout, with starter, $465.
Chassis, $3.50.
Coupe, with starter and de-
mountable rims, $745.
Sedan, with starter and de-
mountable rims, $795.
Truck, with pneumatic. tires,
$545.
Tractor, $3.50.
rhe Ford Motor Company make
their reductions in the face of the
fact that they have on hand i'm
mediate orders for one hundred
forty-six thousand siXty-fve cars
and tractors. The company will
suffer temporary loss while US
ing up the material bought at
> high prices. They are willing to
make the sacrifice in order to
bring business back to a going
condition as quickly as possible
and maintain the momentum of
the buying power of the country.
Henry Ford says THE war is
over and it is time war prices were
over. There is no sense or wis
dom in trying to maintain an ar
tificial standard of values. For
the best interests of all it is time
a real practical effort was made
to bring the business of the coun-
try and the life of the country
down to regular pre- war stand
