PREMIER HURRIES BACK.
Sharp divisions OF opinion in the

This teaches US that to attract

MUSIC GREATLY ENJOYED

Members and friends attending
the Methodist Episcopal church
last Sunday morning enjoyed a
rare treat afforded by the singing
of Mrs. Laughlin and Miss Plantz,
of Detroit. The first number was
a duet, Whispering Hope" follow
ed by solo, 81 Know That My
Redeemer Liveth," sung by Mrs.
Laughlin. The closing number,
"Let the Lower Lights Be Burn
ing" was also a duet.
The wonderful blending of these
richly gifted, we'll trained voices
was a revelation of the power and
possibilities of the finest and most
responsive musical instrument
ever created, the human voice.
Those who were present hope to
have the pleasure of hearing
these talented singers again.

State To Change Back to Cen
trail Time October 18th

Lansing, Mica, Oct. 9Th
Governor Sleeper has issued a
proclamation putting an end to
the use of Eastern time in Mich
igan on Sunday, Oct. 17th.
In the proclamation he calls at
tention to the fact that Eastern
time was adopted for the spring
and summer months and express
ed the opinion that it is now time
to return to Central time. Eefore
sending out this proclamation the
governor communicated with the
Boards Of Trade and Chamber of
Commerce of the cities of the state
and they all recommended a return
to Central time with the exception
of Bay City and Detroit. The bus
mess men of those two com,nuni-
ties announced that they would
continue to use Eastern time
throughout the winter.
Our business men seem t) be
perfectly satisfied with the pres
ent time and II isn't likely the
change will be made in Yale.

Is now completed and Mr.. Teets
can boast of having the only en-
tirely tile drained farm in ST..

Others are now planning to

SCHOOL NOTES
Yale 21; Brown City Ia

In an exciting game which fur
nished many thrills to the specta-
tors, Yale High school defeated
the Brown City aggregation on
Tuesday afternoon on the local
gridiron by a score of 21 to Ia.
Brown City put up a strong
game but were clearly outclass-
ed by our boys in nearly all de-
partments of the game, both on
defense and offense. Except for
costly fumbles by the local boys
Brown City would not have scored
either of their two touchdowns.
Yale has shown great improve
ment in playing form since the
first game and show great prom
ise of developing into an eleven
which will hold it's own with any
other team in this section.

FARM BUREAU. NOTES

OF John Patterson and Son, one
mile northeast of Columbus sta
tion, Friday, Oct. Is, at l o'clock.
Arrangements are being made by
the st. Clair county Farm Bureau
in cooperation with the Michigan
Agricultural College and the Exc
cutive Committee of the County
Bureau is preparing for the best
attended and most important
event in the program of the organ
izations for this year
Tile drainage work being car
ried on through the cooperation
of few Of the leading farmers of
st. Clair county, the Farm Bureau
and the Michigan Agricultural
College, in spite of delayed tile
shipments, has been making very
encouraging progress and the ap-
plications made for the work next
year comprise between three and
four hundred acres. The project
is being accomplished by means
of modern power ditching mach
inery, and all who attend the
meeting at Mr. Patterson's will
have an opportunity to see the big
machine in operation, which is
capable of digging as high as 1Go
rods of trench per day.
A. j. Smith, president of the st.
Clair County Farm Bureau, re-
ports that rarely. if ever, has such
an array of talent been secured for
an agricultural meeting in this
part Of the state. Among the prom
inent speakers who will address
the meeting are DR.. Eben Num-
ford, State Leader of Co. Agents
o. K. Robey, one of the leading
drainage specialist in the country
and other prominent agricultural
men from East Lansing. Walter
VanHaitsma, who is superintend-
ing the demonstrations will ex-
plain the operation of the traction
ditcher making Of connections and
all other essentials to good drain
age, calling attention to the var
ious points as the crowd is con-
Quoted over the 25 acre tract be-
ing drained by Mr.. Patterson and
Son.
Mr.. VanHaitsma now ranks as
the leading drainage engineer of
the state and no one can afford to
miss this opportunity of getting
first hand information on under
drainage. A number of the lead
ing farmers Of the county upon
whose farms tile drainage demon
strations have been .instal lied dur
ing the past three years will also
tell of their experience with tile.
These talks given by men who
have had experience on their own
farms will constitute one of the
most important parts of the pro-
gram. Included in this list of local
speakers are North Westbrook and
Peter Distelrath, of China Town
ship; H. A. Shaw, Cottrellville;
Chris Stien, St. Clair; F. p. Will
son & Son. Kimball; H. j. Vogt &
Son, Columbus.
Another interesting and instruc-
tive feature of the big event will
be the septic tank and sewer sys-
TEN which is also being installed
on the Patterson farm. This, too,
will be open for inspection and
thoroughly explained by Pref. Ro-
bey and Mr.. VanHaitsma. 1t is
now possible to have all of the
comforts and conveniences of the
city in the rural home at a COM
paratively small expense and this
meeting will afford an opportuni-
ty to learn about the most impor-
tant adjunct for the farm home.
Every Farm Bureau member is
urged to advertise this among his
neighbors and bring an auto load
to the big meeting.
Come and see how st. Clair
county's biggest problems are be-
ing solved.

WATER WASTE

Yale city authorities wish to
notify water takers to conserve
on the supply and use no more
than what is absolutely needed
Saturday night the big tank was
filled to the top and between one
o'clock and seven in the morning
over half of it was used for
some purpose, and the authorities
are at loss to know where it
went.
Had a fire broken out during
this time the plant would have
been in bad shape to fight it.
Anyone leaving water taps
open are hereby notified to stop
the practice or suffer the penalty
which will be imposed upon the
offenders.
See to it that your taps are all
closed when you retire for the
night. A. Windsor, Commissioner
