AUTO BADLY SMASHED

Hugh Morris, of Detroit, former
we'll known citizen of Sandusky,
had a miraculous escape Tues
day morning at the North street
railway crossing.
Mr.. Morris had been visiting
among his old Sanilac county
friends and was on his return
trip home when the accident oc-
Cured.
He was headed east and the cars
and buildings hid the freight
train which was working in the
yards, and before he was aware of
the presence of the train he was
too close to stop his car and the
engine hit the front end of the
auto, turning it completely around
and upsetting it in the ditch.
Mr.. Morris was badly shaken
up and received several bruises,
beyond which he was uninjured.
The machine was quite badly
wrecked and was taken to Eilber
& Barth's garage for repairs.
This is certainly a dangerous
crossing and the railroad company
should either install an electric
bell or put up gate so travellers
could be warned at the approach
of train.

THE BIG CAMP MEETING

The annual campmeeting which
has been held in the City Park the
past week has been a very success
full one in many RESPECTS.
In point of attendance at the
various services, it has been un-
usual. 1t is considered the larg-
est this people has held. There
were eighty-four tents on the
ground and these were all filled
with tenters. Many came by auto
daily which made the congrega-
tions large.
The attention was excellent.
The Yale people treat the people
who attend this camp very re.
spectfully and these people ap-
lpreciate this very much.
The spiritual side of the meet
ing was of high standard.
Many were helped in their relig-
ious life by the daily influence of
the meetings. Quite number
renewed their covenant with
their Heavenly Father. while
others bowed as penitents at the
altar of prayer for the first time.
Rev. j. A. Huffman, the evan
gelist for the camp, was at his
best. We shall not soon forget
the excellent sermons and Bible
readings which he gave:
Sunday was the big day of the
camp. This day the large tent
was filled to overflowing. In the
afternoon Sunday school was held
and over 900 attended.
This same afternoon the peo-
pie raised $4,000 by subscrip-
tion to pay the expense of the
new equipment for the camp in a
very short time. There was
raised a total of $4,352.00 in all
! for various purposes.
! Yale is to be made the annual
meeting place for this camp. This
is the result of the hospitality
Shown the Mennonites by the peo-
pie of Yale.

wINDERMERE BURNS

One of the biggest fires Port
Huron has seen for many year
was that of the Windermere hotel
at Gratiot Beach on Sunday last.
The fire alarm was turned in at
about noon, the cause of the fire
supposedly defective wiring. The
high wind, low water pressure
and the frame building combined
was too much for the firemen and
the big hotel is a complete ruin.
The loss runs to $4,000 or more
with $4,000 insurance. The prin-
cipal stock holder is Alex Moore
and others j. b. Sperry, John AS
man and Mrs. Lucy Heiss.
A number of Yale people were
along the beaches and witnessed
the spectacular sight.

Yale Schools Will Open
Next Tuesday, Sept. 9TH
Building Has Been Put in Good
Shape and Several Improve
ments Made

The schools Of Yale will open
Tuesday morning, Sept. 7th. The
Board of Education have had the
building thoroughly cleaned and
several improvements made. .Twen-
ty-three seats have been added to
the high school room, and another
high school recitation room has
been provided.
The citizens of Yale are justly
proud of their school, and desire
to continue the same high stand
ard as formerly. The schools are
on the. University list. This means
that credits from the Yale High
School admit the student to the
University of Michigan as well as
to all the other colleges of the
state without examination.
The citizens of Yale welcome
the nonresident students and will
take an interest in their welfare.
Yale has seven churches and they
welcome the students to the
church of their choice.
A strong commercial course is
offered to those who wish to avail
themselves of the opportunities of
such a. course. 1t is planned to
make the course such that those
who complete it satisfactorily will
be prepared to take desirable posi-
tions in this line. The Board of
Education will grant a certificate
OF diploma to those completing
the course. Miss Gladys Arnold,
who has been teaching in the COM
mercial department of the Lansing
High School, will have charge of
the course in Yale this year.
The superintendent will be in
the office Friday and Saturday of
this week, and it is desirable that
as many of the high school who
find it possible to do so and pupils
who wish to enroll in the grades,
who did not attend here last year,
come and classify on these days.
The Board has arranged for the
handling of the school text books
in the same manner as last year.
They may be purchased in the
school library, and those who wish
to procure them on Friday or
Saturday may do so. This would
be well, in view Of the fact that
the supply of some books is limited
and hard to get from the publish
ers. Publishers prices have in
creased considerably in some lines.
shall be especially glad to talk
with those pupils who do not
feel sure about the best course to
pursue in the high school, and es-
pecially those who are coming to
the high school for the first time.

Primary Election Day
Is Very Quiet Affair Here
Less Than One-FOurth Of Yale's
Voters Turn Out on Tuesday
TO Express Preference

One Of the quietest days in the
history of elections in this part of
the state was last Tuesday, Aug.
81, when the full vote of every
precinct in the state should have
been polled. Out Of possible
300 votes from the three wards of
the city of Yale, only 129 availed
themselves of the opportunity to
register their preference for can
didates for governor and the diff
lferent ones on the county ticket.
In the city Hamilton was the
favorite for governor, while in the
surrounding townships Milo d.
Campbell led the other eight can
didates. But reports from the city
at 400 o'clock Wednesday after
noon seem to indicate that Groes-
beck, of Detroit, was winner.
w. o. Lee is the successful
candidate for member of the state
Legislature from the 1st district.
The only county nominations to
be contested were sheriff and
prosecuting attorney. Hass w.
Names is an easy winner in the
former, and Henry Baird, the
present prosecuting attorney, is
successful in his race against J.B.
McIlwain.
The following delegates were
elected to the Republican county
convention to be held at Port Hu-
ron on Tuesday, Sept. 7th:-A.
Windsor, DR.. j. B. Stevens, Mrs.
l.. Roy Fuller, E. F. Fead, Jas. A.
Menzies, Mrs. Chas. Rounds, CIV.
Elston, Thos. Wharton and ID. E.
Middleton.
The delegates to the democratic
county convention are Chas. Barr,
Ed Andreae, w. F. Barr, James
Stirling, E. w. Fari ", Mrs. Well
ter Andreae, John Henry, sr.,
Thos. McGrettan and Pat Kissane.
Up in Sanilac county things
were different. Every heat was
race, and the old political map has
been changed as much as the
boundry lines in Germany. The
winner for the Office of county
sheriff was Chas. McGuiness, of
Croswell, who has been after the
nomination for nigh onto forty
years" For prosecuting attorney
Robt. j. West, of Deckerville de-
feated Fred A. Farr. Garfield
Benedict will make the run for
county clerk and Smith, of Lex
ington, defeats Pearson for Judge
of Probate. Bert Walker, of Mar
lette, willhave his name on the
ballot for drain commissioner,
having received more votes than
Harold Phelps, the present in
cumbent, and if the republican
ticket wins out in Sanilac, the
only familiar face around the
court house for the next two years
will be Walter j. Allen, who land.
ed the nomination for register of
deeds. Joel Merriman, representa-
tive, who halls from Deckerville,
was defeated by Chas. Burnham,
Worth.
There was contest on for ev-
cry office, and many surprises
and also disappointments are the
result of the primary.
For governor, Milo ID. Campbell
leads in the county.
