CROPS BELOW AVERAGE

From an outlook that was con-
siderably above the average on
May |, the conditions Of all crops
has materially declined. A dry
period of weather during the first
three wee'.s OF May = the chief
factor in this change. With the
exception of wheat, rye and alfal-
fa, all of the leading crops are
below the prevailing condition in
the United States and below the
ten year average for Michigan
Rains during the closing week
broke the drought in many sec
tions and are improving the out
look. me Joint Federal and
State crop report issued by Verne
H. Church, Agricultural Statisti-
clan of the u. S. Bureau of Crop
Estimates and Charles DeLand
Secretary of State, also contains
a statement of the fruit situation

July Fourth and Fifth Promises
to Be Among the Real Big
Days for Yale.

4 July Fourth and Fifth, 1921,
the days for our big two-day Gem
tennial celebration, promises to
be the biggest gala time ever put
on for the people of Yale and vic
Unity. In reality the big celebra-
tiOn will start on Sunday, the 3rd,
when mammoth union service
will be held at our beautiful city
park, at 7:30 i'm the evening.
Starting at sunrise on the 4th,
when national salute will be
fired and lasting till the evening
of the 5th, there will be one con
tinual round of pleasure.
There will be athetilc sports,
base ball games, a drill by the
boys in khaki, and the grandest
display of fireworks ever seen in
this section of the state. This will
be on the nations birthday. On
the following day there will be an
auto parade and ball game in
the forenoon, also many other at
fractions. In the afternoon the big
event of the centennial will take
place at the city park. 1t will be
a big pageant, and it is expected
several hundred will take part.
The only charge connected to
any of the two-day doings is for
the base ball games, and the ad-
mission to same will be 25c for
each day. 1t was thought a game
could be arranged for the 4th
between the Yale and Port Huron
High school teams, but the bunch
from Port Huron were exposed to
the cruel winds at Tashmoo Park
on the tenth of June, and "Tubby''
Meyers has since been suffering
from a severe case of cold feet"
So we will try and make arrange
ments to have a double-header on
The afternoon of the first day, and
the winners of the two games will
play on the morning of the fifth.
Judging from the letters receiv-
ed by the Homecoming commit
tee, there will be big crowd of
former Yaleites present to visit
old time friends. and take part in
the activities. This is one of the
most pleasing parts of the celebra-
tion-meeting Old-time chums and
acquaintances and living over the
scenes of former days. We want
to see those who come back home
have a good time, so let's all do
what We can to make it pleasant
tor them.

PROSPECTS LOOK BRIGHT

The Yale section of the County
Centennial and Homecoming Gel
ebration, July 3, and 5, will be a
success, Plans are now perfected
and the program is about com
plete. Because of the necessity
for the help and cooperation of u
large number of people the Pag-
cant part of the program has re-
ceived more attention than some
other parts, but it was never in
tended that it should last more
than two hours at the most.
On Tuesday next there will be
q full dress rehearsal and anyone
lwhO will provide themselves with
the necessary costume may east
ly learn the few simple movements
and may then participate in the
pageant.
The chorus has but two more
rehearsals and will do as good
work as any in the county of equal
size.
Regardless of what the rest of
st. Clair county may do, and not
withstanding anything the knock
ers and grumblers may have said
or done, YALE will have cele-
bration second to none.
In next weeks paper will be
published the complete program
as it will be carried out for the
three big days.

Are You Planning for
the Coming Celebration -?
WHERE NO ONE WORKS
AND TAXES ARE UNKNOWN

There still remains one place on
earth, inhabited by white people
where there's no work-and no
taxes, no laws, no police, no tax
days, no strap-hanging, no alarm
clOcks-and nothing to worry
about.
Tristan da Cunha is the place.
It's an island in the south At
lantic ocean, 1900 miles south
west of st. Helena, where the inn
prisoned Napoleon died. The
Tristanites are descendants of
the relief garrison Of British sol
diers stationed there during Ma
poleon's captivity.
Only about 100 people live on
Tristan, but they boast that no
one ever wanted to leave.
The only ship that ever visits
them is British cruiser that
drops in once a year. No other
contact with the outside world
If you could stow away aboard
that cruiser, you'd find at Iris
TAM
An island q miles around. A
snow-clad extinct volcano rising
in the center. A small village on
a fertile green peninsula. Moth
ing to pay taxes for. The inhab-
itants eat fish, wild fowl, birds
eggs, clans, fruit and yild pota-
toes. When they want meat they
go out and kill wild sheep or cat
tie. Clothing and ammunition
are obtained from the crew of the
cruiser by bartering skins of the
seals that sport on Tristan's roc
ky shores.
Tristan is said to be the only
white settlement in the world that
has no organized government. In
herited discipline from the peo.
pies soldier ancestors, along with
such an abundance of everything
that there's no reason for com
mitting thefts or other crimes
has made law and organized gov.
ernment unnecessary.-Capper's
Weekly.

Seventh District News
Items Boiled Down
SECOND ANNUAL MEETING

The second annual meeting Of
the Sanilac County Farm Bureau
was held at the Court House. San
dusky, June 9th, 1921. When roll
was taken only three delegates
were absent out of the 63 elected
delegates.
Much interest was shown and
many of the farmers took an ac
tive part in the discussion. 1t was
evident that the members had
come to learn what had been done
in the past year, and also build
plans for the coming year.
The delegates to the last Mich
igan State Farm Bureau annual
meeting gave their report along
with reports from local managers,
the secretary and the county
agents. Mr., Martin. County Ag
ricultural Agent, discussed in
length the accomplishment of the
last year. stating that the total
business done by the locals am
ounted to better than three-forths
Of a million dollars. He was very
anxious to see the farmers push
to completion cooperative plans
of marketing their products.
DR.. Mumford, County Agent
Leader, gave an extended talk on
the problem which faced the far
mer in his new marketing plan.
He stated that in order to make
our plan work. we must do it
more efficiently than any Of the
old line organizations, and that
we must havethe full cooperation
of farmers until that point can be
reached.
There has been much discus
sion the past year about the poll
cy of the county farm bureau.
This matter was taken up with the
delegates and the farmers were
almost unanimously in favor that
the Sanilac County Farm Bureau
should follow the Michigan Agri.
cultural College Extension plan
with the main emphasis placed on
the marketing problems. From
now on, the work done by the
county will be purely educational
and no business whatever will be
put through the office.
The election Of officers was the
next on the program. Charles f..
Martin, of Speaker township, was
unanimously elected to succeed
himself. Bert Mortimore's term
expired as vice-president, and
since he comes from the same To-
cal, it was impossible for him to be
reelected. David Knight, of Mar
lette, was given the position. John
Goodwine, of Marlette, Phillip o.
Connell, of McGregor, and Ezra
Taylor, of Croswell, were elected
to succeed themselves. John Nc
Clellan, Of New Greenleaf, was
elected to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of John Ham
ilton, of Decker.
1t was also evident that the far
mers areawake on state and nation
al policies, for several resolutions
were presented and passed which
had bearing on the passing of
the State Income Tax, National
Income Tax, the Capper-Volstead d
Bill, Tincher Bill, and the Truth
in-Fabric Bill.
