MOTHERS DAY
PROCLAMATION
BY The Governor

1t is a beautiful custom which
DEGREES that one Sunday in the
year shall be set apart for the
purpose of honoring the memory
of the mothers who have gone
from us and of paying a tribute
of affection and reverence to those
who are still left to us. 1t is i'm
possible to compute our debt to
our mothers. Their devotion and
sacrifice guarded and sheltered
and cared for us from the cra-
die up to manhood and woman
hood. To them most Of us owe
whatever there is of sterling char
acter in our makeup. The moth
er is the heart of the home, and
from the hearthstones around
which linger the recollections of
our mothers, come inspirations
that give hope and courage and
steadfastness to fight the battle
OF life.
Therefore, by virtue of the au-
thority vested in me as Governor
OF the State of Michigan, l do
hereby designate and set aside
Sunday, May 9Th, 1921 as Mothers
Day and call upon our people both
young and old, to gather in their
several places of worship and
take part in services appropriate
to the day.
And let absent sons and daugh-
ters take this occasion to visit the
mother in the old home, or, where
such visit is impossible let them
send message of cheer and
greeting.
In accordance with a resolu-
tion of the Congress of the Unit
ed States, | further request the
people of Michigan on the day
aforesaid to display the United
States flag in their homes and
in other suitable places, as fit
ting expression of their desire to
pay homage to American mother
hood
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal Of the State of Michi-
gan this twenty-second day
April in the year Of our Lord,
one thousand nine hundred and
twenty-one, and of the Common
wealth the eightv-ffth.

Yale Wins From Capac;
Loses to Port Huron

In most exciting, we'll played
contest, Yale H. S. won over Ca
pac by score of 8 to 6, in the
first game of the county schedule
Monday afternoon.
Capac was represented by the
strongest team in the history of
their school, but the local boys,
with Summers pitching one Of the
finest games ever seen here, dem
onstrated their superiority.
Yesterday the team went to
Port Huron but returned this
time on the losing end of FL to
13'score. The game was very
loosely played, with many errors,
which accounts for the large
score. Yale out hit their oppon-
ents, but failed to give Summers
the support necessary to win the
game. Summers pitched splen-
did game, striking out fourteen
Port Huron boys, while his op-
ponent only succeeded in tanning
five of our boys.
Yale has now won three Of the
five games played. Seven more
games remain to be played and
the chances are that the locals
will win a majority of them and
will finish at or near the top in
the county championship race.
Tuesday the high school team
will play Marlette on the local
field, and on Friday st. Clair will
be here for the third county game.
Show your enthusiasm by your
attendance.
