~ NE swallow does not make a
Id summer. nor does one accordion
pleated skirt, for instance, make
the mode. but when you begin to take
statistics of the newest things found
in the displays and openings for
Southern wear. you can soon deduct
what the surest things are for spring
wearing. And this is the course the
home dressmaker should always take,
tits a satisfaction to be just ahead of
the general mode with your home
made product. but unless you take ad-
vantage OF the earlier showings this
will not be possible.
Lets see. then, what the woman who
makes her own clothes can bank on
sure nre' for spring. Perhaps the
most noteworthy feature in all the
earliest showings is tho two-piece
combination OF contrasting materials
and colors. The favorite spring cos
tumo seems undoubtedly to be skirt
and coat. or skirt and blouse affair.
Tvo.Picce Costume Has Come Back.
This does not mean. understand,
that the one-picce is entirely~out, not
by any means, but that the two-piece
which has been somewhat neglected
lately. has come back, especially for
sportsl wear, or for that less tangible
purpose-a sports wear that never
really sees links, court or track. Even
suits have fallen under this capricious
vogue. Thus one comes across such
combination as n covert skirt in light
castor and a camel's hair box coat. hip
length. in darker shade. The castor
cloth is repeated as outer facing Tor
tho lapcls OF the coat just TO prove
that coat and. skirt belong together,
possibly. This is the kind of suit
which can be worn with or without a
blouse. serving tho double purpose OF
suit or dress.
To utilize Odd Lengths.
The two-pleco idea is always well
come one for the home sewer. II gives
her a chance to utilize odd lengths Of
material, to mako over old clothes,
and to have a variety of costumes with
lessNwork and expense. Thus very
good looking sports skirt of kumsi-
kumsa, or OF the new Queen Anne
sports satin, can be made simply with
some odd arrangement OF pleats, as
the foundation for several cookbook
ing blouses. mlddlos. or jumpers

A MUNIFICENT GIFT

On Christmas eve Mr.. James
McColl and Mr.. w. H. Learmont
called at the manse with Christ
mas gift of S112.50 from the men
of the Presbyterian church to
Rev. and Mrs. Alfred Martin.
In few we'll chosen words they
expressed the appreciation of the
men for the services of the minis
ter and his wife. The gift was a
token of goodwill and harmony.
The women were also ready to give
but were kindly reminded that this
was an affair of the men.
In acknowledging the gift on
Sunday morning the minister said
he was in the position of the bash
full young man lost for words to
make the usual proposal. At length
he mustered up courage and said
to the young lady, IF you love me
as love you, nothing in the world
shall part us two"
The spirit of love and loyalty
which prompted the gift is equal
ly appreciated by the minister and
Mrs. Martin.

JACKSON WILL SET ASIDE

The will Of the late Abner Jack.
son, former prominent hotel keep
er of Yale and Capac, was declar-
ed void by a circuit court jury af-
ter one hour of deliberation on
Wednesday afternoon Cf last week
on the grounds that it was made
under undue influence.
Mrs. Josephine White, of Port
Huron, a daughter IF Mr.. Jackso l,
and Fcanklyn Jackson, a minor
grandson, were Conte stants in the
case, an appeal having been ma lie
from action of the probate court
where the will was admitted with
out contest.
Suit to break the will was
brought on the grounds of mental
incompetency and undue influence
on the part of the wife of Abner
jackson, Mrs. Nellie Jackson being
the defendant in the case.
The Jackson family was well
known TIN oughout the vicinity of
Yale and Capac, at which places
the late Abner Jackson conducted
hotel for a large number of
years. Jackson himself was act
lively identified in racing circles of
various county fairs.
Mrs. Nellie Jackson, the defend
ant in the contest case, was the
second wife of the hotel keeper,
and was sister of the first wife.
In his last will and testament the
deceased made her the beneficiary
of the bulk of his estate, amount
ing to approximately $4,000. 1t
was the claim of the contestants
that she induced Abner Jackson
to draw up the will that was later
admitted to probate.
In his will the sum of $4,000
was left to the daughter, Mrs. Jo-
sephine White, and $50 to the
grandson. Mrs. Jackson was will
ed the balance of the estate.
The case will probably be APP
pealed.

THE CHRISTMAS
SPIRIT DISTRIBUTOR

The following article is taken from
"The Hunch," which is published
by the Michigan Employers Cas-
ualty and the Wolverine Insurance
Companies, Lansing, Mich. -
Like the muskmelon, the Christ
mas spirit seems to be a season
able affair. Nobody attempts to
can it for future use any more
than the housewife plans on pre-
serving the muskmelon. And this
is a situation, you will agree, to
be deplored.
There is nothing so big, so
splendid as the Christmas spirit ;
that feeling Of peace among man
kind; good cheer, geniality, for
giveness and brotherly love. And
there "ain't no" fruit that is so
licking good as the muskmelon,
Regardless of the desirability of
both we don't aim to keep any of
it over.
Occasionally, however, we en-
counter an individual who does

REV. SAM BETTES
DIES IN OREGON
Was One of Yale's Best Known
Men.-His BOyhOd Days
Were Spent Here.

News of the death of Samuel G..
Bettes came to his daughters in
Port Huron the first of the week.
For some time the Rev. gentleman
has not been in the best Of health
and his own letters prepared his
relatives for the end, which came
at his home in Portland, Oregon.
Some twenty-five years ago Nh.
Bettes lived in Yale with his wife
and children, preaching the gospel
and being an earnest enthusiast of
the prohibition cause. He became
a travelling evangelist and was
well known throughout the Thumb
district. Later, when his wife died
and children married and scattered
to other places he travelled farther
and farther aheld, sometimes with
horse and buggy, sometimes by
boats which he built himself, al
ways drawing crowds with his
unique manner Of spreading the
gospel in his own peculiar lang
uage.
There were seven children in
the Bettes family, five daughters
and two sons.
The daughters are Mrs. n. +.
Meracle, Mrs. Fred Kingston and
Mrs. Jesse Roadway, all Of Port
Huron; Mrs. James Regan, of Mel
vim, and Josephine, who lives in
the west. The sons are Will and
Sam, jr., residence not known to
us now. All the children are well
known in Yale.
In the passing of Rev. S. G.. Bet
tes a man who has done much good
in the world in his own way, has
gone. His name and his deeds
will live long in the hearts Of
those who knew him best.

COWBOY WAR FIGURE
IN NEW FOX FEATURE

"The Square Shooter" comedy
drama in which Buck Jones, the
new William Fox star, is featured.
will be shown for the first time at
Princess Theatre on New Years
day.
Buck Jones, the cowboy-soldier-
aviator-actor, has done some very
fine work in this photoplay accord
ing to report. The story is one of
life on a western ranch. 1t con-
tains many humorous and near
tragic situations which arise
through a case of confused iden-
tity.
Buck Jones probably feels most
at home on horseback. His mar
velous riding has thrilled thous-
ands, and "The Square Shooter"
offers him ample room to display
his ability.
William Fox has surrounded
Buck Jones with well-balanced
case including charming Patsy De
Forest as leading lady.

solicitor and worked up to adj

which is the epitome of good feel
ing, fair dealing, justice and good
fellowship, combined with his in
dividual competency, sent him up
the line as fast as promotions were
possible.
