Hopes Women Will

Glass Of hot water each morn

clean, sweet, fresh.

Happy, bright, Advantageous and

from illness are assured only by
clean, healthy blood. If only every
woman and likewise every man could
realize the wonders of the morning
inside bath, what gratifying change
would take place.
Instead of the thousands of sickly,
anaemic-looking men, women and
girls with pasty or muddy complex
ions; instead of the multitudes of
nerve wrecks" "rundownS," brain
fags" and pessimists we should see a
virile, optimistic throng of rosy.

An inside bath is had by drinking,

BETTER EXHIBITS
AT FAIR CERTAIN
Fine Grain to Offer Fea-
ture- Pig Clubs to
Compete

Preparations for the Sumter coun-
ty fair, which will be held this fall
at the Third District fair grounds at
the Aggie college here, are already
under way, ACCORDING to George o.
Marshall, county farm demonstra-
tion agent. Marshall says a num-
ber of Sumter farmers who made eX-
ceptionally fine grain crops have
save selected punches of wheat, oats,
rye and barley, which they plan to
put on exhibition, and he is urging
others to set aside portions of their
grain crops for exhibit at the fair.
The pig club exhibit at the fair,
Marshall says, will surpass that of
last year, as the boys will have more
time in which to prepare for the dis
play of their products. These clubs
have not yet been completely organ
lied, and there is time remaining in
which boys who will purchase pure
bred pigs may enter the various con-
tests. Prizes will be offered this
year for the best specimens of diff
ferent breeds, Marshall says, and this
feature, it is expected, will stimulate
interest in the exhibition. Last year
most of the big prizes were captured
by Durocs, which appear to be the
best adapted for this climate and
soil conditions, but several zig club
boys this year will show Hampshires,
Berkshires and Poland Chinas, and
these are sure to capture first prizes
under the new distribution arrange
ment.

TALK FOR YOUR TOWN

The reason why some towns grow
Is because there are men of push
and energy in them not afraid to
spend their time and money to
boom their town. They erect good
buildings, organize stock compan-
les and establish factories, secure
railroads, work for public improv-
ments and use every means in
their power to induce people to To-
cate In their city. Wherever thew
go they tell of the advantages of
their city, they write about them
In every letter, they send circulars
and newspapers to all whom thew
THINK they can get to visit their
city, and when they come they are
treated so kindly that they fall in
love with the city at once. 1t is
enterprise, everyone pulling togeth

One of the best ways in which to

THE ALUMNI REUNION

The Yale high school Alumni
reunion and banquet of 1920, an
affair of anticipation since the
one of a year ago, became a reali-
zation on Tuesday evening of this
week, and is now only another
pleasant and delightful thing
which each Alumnus has packed
away in memory's kit-bag, to be
brought out occasionally and in
spected with smiles or tears, as
the case may be.
These reunions are dear to the
hearts of all those who have GRAD
uated from Yale high school, and
it is surely with pleasure that
friends and relatives see them re-
turn once year for a good get
together time.
The banquet on Tuesday eve
ming was given in the Presbyter-
ian church. The long tables in the
dining room looked very nice, the
floral decorations of the window
seats and the tables being pink
and white peonies. Places were
set for one hundred and fifteen
and when all were in position a
blessing was invoked by Superin-
tendent n. j. Drouyor.

Commissioner, delivered the prin-
clpal address of the day. Mr..
Beard discussed the leading and
vital phases of the good roads

questions regarding their WORK.
Among other things he stated thai
the cities of Port Huron. Yale. St.
Clair and Marine City paid three
tourths of the county tax and the
farmers and smaller towns about
one-tourth; also that the people
on a strip of land one-half mile
wide along the south end and east
side paid one-half of the one
fourth contributed by the county
district. He continued that the
state built all trunk lines and kept
them in repair. but in the case o.
all roads built under the Cover
Act IL was necessary for the peo-
pie desiring them to petition the
county commission. The speaker.
showed that the reason WHY few,
Covert roads are being built il,

that no petitions for them had

wood people that it was their own

roads of the county are being con-
structed south of Griswold ST bn-
cause nearly all of the petitions

county. As far as trunk lines are
concerned, st. Clair county to date

You will also have an opportun-

Of Port Huron, who has been here
on several occasions. and who is
n fine speaker. Rev. Alfred Mar
tin, pastor of the Yale Presbyter-
ian church, will also deliver a
short address, and we know you
will enjoy his talk. On Tuesday,
Congressman Cramton will speak,
and if in any way Milo d. Camp

TO reach Yale the following day.
In next issue of the Expositor
you will find the complete Scotch
program, which will be given by
the Henderson Troupe. This alone
is worth many times the price of
admission.
Next Saturday night will wind
up the advance ticket sale. There
are only few of them left, and
if you want one you'd better hur.
~ and secure one before that
time.
Plan to attend both days, and
help make a success of the fifth
annual Caledonian Association.
And don't forget the big con.
cert at the park each evening.
This is new feature for the cele
bration, and one which we think
will be greatly appreciated. The
grandstand and dancing plat
form will be lighted by the Delco
Lighting plant. which VIM. Miller,
agent, has kindly consented to in
stal for the occasion. Everybody
knows what the Delco is, and can
rest assured that that part of the
ground will be as light as day.
Remember what this society has
done since its organization. In
1917 they gave the Red Cross a
nice bunch of money; in 1919, this
worthy cause was enriched over
5000 by the celebration, and last
year the soldiers and sailors were
entertained at cost of nearly
$500. 1t isn't "a money making
scheme, despite the rumors to the
contrary which have been spread
by some of the knockers, and the
books are always open so any one
interested can see where every
cent which was taken in at any of
the celebrations went to. The only
object the society has in putting It
on is to bring something to Yale
each year which is appreciated,
and thereby help in advertising
the city. The oftener a celebra-
tion can be successfully pulled off.
the better it is for a town. The
proof that the people like these
Scotch days lies in the fact that
each celebration has pulled a lar
ger crowd than the previous one.
