FARM BUREAU NOTES

The Farm Bureau members in
the vicinity Of Yale held a very
successful meeting Thursday last
at the Brockway Town Hall. It
was the second largest Farm Bu-
reau meeting that has yet been
held, 164 members registering
from Greenwood, Emmett, Lynn
and Brockway townships, and the
following members were chosen as
delegates TO the County Farm Bu-
reau: VIM. A. Cavanagh, Sam Ed.

The members in this community
have been very successful in CO
operative buying and selling
through the Brockway Agricul
tural Association, which with the
25 new members who joined a
this meeting now numbers nearly
100 members.
1t is likely that the name of thi
organization will be changed il
the near future to show its con
nection with the Farm Bureau
its members now having all tn
business advantages Of the large
organization.

MORE HOUSES NEEDED

Nearly every day we hear some
one inQuiring for houses to rent.
At the present time there is not a
desirable vacant house in the city
and if our little town is to grow
any in the very near future there
must be some provision made to
house the families desiring to
move to Yale.
AS soon as the addition is COM
pleted to the Woolen Mills and
the machinery is installed there
will be work here for many more
skilled hands and this will bring
additional families to the city, and
the question will be, what will we
do with them ?
Surely there are enough public
spirited men in the city to take
the matter in hand and plan fol
the accommodation of these peo.
pie who will want to make Yale
their home.
The Yale Woolen Mill has con.
fidence enough in the future Of
the city to invest thousands o.
dollars in improving and enlarg
ing their plant, and we believe
there are enough men of mean!
here to take care of the matter o.
housing the families who will bt
coming to town.

A Pleasant Gathering

One of the occasions which
make for a closer tie between us
end leaves such an impression of
pleasant memory was held on
Wednesday afternoon and evening
of last week, when twenty-five
members of the Methodist Episco-
pal church gathered at the home
of Mrs. A. J. Harnden for q cot
tage prayer meeting, of which
four were held last week, and pro-
longed their stay for a wonderful
pot-luck supper and social eve
ming in honor of the 77th birthday
of Mrs. Harnden.
Others came in, both men and
women, and several close neigh.
bors, until there were thirty-five
to sit around the festive board
enjoying the good things with thai
free and happy intercourse oi
bpeech which makes the best oi
an occasion of this kind.
Mrs. Harnden's health, which
has been somewhat poorly of lat,
seems to be much better and will
her customary good spirits, no on,
enjoyed the day more than she.

none in the state.
While this will be primarily a
delegate meeting, and all voting
will be done by duly authorized
representatives of the various
Locals, Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Wurzel

st. Clair, Mich, March 23-Mrs.
George Gordon Moore has reported
to the police that thieves visited
ner home in st. Clair Sunday and
carried away property valued at
$4,000 to $4,000.
The most valuable thing taken
was Persian rug of silk which
won first prize at the worlds
fair in st Louis, worth about
$4,000. Beautiful velvet portieres
were stolen as we'll as expensive
linens and complete silver sets.
In addition, silver trophies won
by the Moore stable of horses
were taken.
Mrs. Moore was preparing to
spend the summer here and dis
covered her loss when she visited
the home Sunday.
Mrs. Moore said she believed
some woman was involved in the
theft, because no man would have
picked out all of her best liner
with such unerring discrimina
ton.

WILL YALE HAVE ONE ?

The time is ripe now for organ
izing a base ball team for the
coming season and a little city
the size of Yale should have plen-
ty of timber for one of the fastest
aggregations in this part of the
state. Why not get together and
organize, so practice can begin
as soon as the grounds are in
shape ?
This is a matter that the busi-
ness men should also take an in
terest in, as every city needs some
entertainment to keep the boys
interested in their home town, and
there is nothing that puts the life
and pep in the youngsters like q
base ball team which can go out
and bring in few victories. AnC
a game on the home diamond or
each Saturday afternoon will hell
swell the crowds which Yale al
ways gets in the summer time.

CHERISH THE PEOPLE

Civilization is founded on the in
telligence and virtues of the COM
mon folk. We must build up and
protect these sacred things or de-
mocracy will go down the path of
darkness or ruin. Those who
stand in high places, covered with
success, are the leaders and ex-
emplars of the crowd-keepers of
the great treasure. American dem
ocracy is no new discovery. The
divinity that dwells in its growth
is the love of man which leads ia
education and respect for justice
and good will and honor in all anc
for all.-Irving Bachelor.

Resolution Of Republican Lead
ers Declaring Peace With
Germany is Introduced
Today.
FIRST ONE OF IT'S KIND
Debate Limited to About Eleven
Hours During Which Probably
Hundred Members VIII
Speak.
[By Herbert w. Walker, United Press
Staff CORRESPONDENT. ...

CBy Herbert w. Walker, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April S. The
resolution of republican leaders de.
claring peace with Germany came be
fore the house today with every in
dication that it will be passed and
sent to the senate.
A canvass by party leaders showed
1T is doubtful whether the resolution
will receive two-thirds majority
necessary to assure its passage over
a veto of President Wilson.
Shortly before the house met, Re
publican Leader Mondell declared the
resolution was certain to pass ac
cording to schedule. Democratic
Leader Clark admitted it might pass
but predicted it would be Sound un
constitutional and never be made
effective.
In contrast to the senate which
discussed the Versailles treaty eight
months, the program of republican
house leaders limits debate to about
eleven hours. During that time it is
expected seventy-five to 100 members
will speak.
Under the special rule governing
vote at o. m. tomorrow the democrats
can offer one motion to amend This
will be voted on wdhout' debate. In
mediately afterward voting ON the
resolution is to start.
Today is the first time in history
that either house OF congress has
considered resolution declaring &
peace. 1t also marks the entrance
of the house into the long extended
dispute of President Wilson with the
senate. '.e. ..
Great interest in the debate was
evident today at the white house. Off
cials close to the president were in
frequent touch with the capitol. The
democrats attack on the resolution
was, it is understood, based partly
on arguments supplied by President
Wilson himself. ~ "
