CONCERNING DAMPHULE LAWS

IneSe WOulQ-De-g great, as we IOfSaW,
Have passed another damphule law;
And now when pictured lovers 60
On Sunday to a movie show
Tho only pictures on display
Are signs "THIS PLACE is CLOSED TODAY"
Nine long and weary weeks were spent
In framing up this document;
While serious affairs of state
Were laid upon the shelf to wait
Till brainless wops, with frantic pep
Could pound 'er through, and win rep.
The growl of angry men proclaims
Displeasure for such childish games;
We have (no one will disallow),
Ten thousand laws too many now;
And those who wish to gain rep
From damphue laws, should watch their. step.
The law our country needs today
For which most fervidy we pray
Will carry for it's leading clause,
Adjustment of damphue laws;
And send these ratte-headed NUTS
To prisons set apart for nuts"
When scatter-brained galoots commence
Acquiring reps at our expense,
And strive to earn their epaulets
BY cutting out our cigarettes
And things we like to eat and wear
IT'S time we changed the bill Of fare.
We have no love for wagging jaws
That pirate of Sunday closing laws;
We crave no statute to restore
The legalized mistakes of yore;
We want law of force enough
To squelch this damphule baby-stuf.

will be serenaded by several
thousand school children during
music week, Oct. 16 to %.
Whether the serenading will oc-
cur in Detroit or Lansing is yet
undecided, as is the date of the

in accepting the craftsmanship of
the music week committee for the
state. The singing will take place
ih The open, and the governor
will stand on raised platform,
surrounded on all sides by pupils
OF the public schools standing in

AUTO ACCIDENT

The west road seems to b.
quite popular latcl1 for automo-
bile accidents.
On Thursday last week about
eleven o'clock in the forenoon,
Mrs. Herb Eshleman, Mrs. Eva
Blacks daughter and Mrs. Ed.
Disher were driving from Flint to
spend the day in Yale. When
about six miles west of here, the
driver of the Ford car, Mrs.
Disher, took her hat from her
head and endeavored to place it
in the back seat. In doing so she
lost control of the wheel and the
machine skidded to the side of
the road. completely taking the
six foot ditch and landed in the
barb wire fence across the ditch,
turning on its side.
Besides being badly Shaken up
Mrs. Disher was uninjured. Mrs,
Eshleman was somewhat worse
off, as after disentangling them
selves from the wrecked car, her
hips and one limb gave her much
pain. The two were brought Ito
Yale to Mrs. Blacks home and a
physician attended.
1t was miracle that they es-
capped death, and a wonder that
thoy were injured as little as they
were. The car was quite badly
smashed.
Mr.. Disher came after his wife
on Saturday and Mr.. Eshleman
and two daughters were over on
Sunday, returning with Mrs. Esh-
leman the same day.

CAPAC "ALL STARS"

The fame of the Capac "All
Stars" ball team is state wide and
efforts are constantly being made
by some Of the lesser leagues to
recruit players from our team.
Last Sunday in Port Huron such
an effort was made by the Port
Huron-Sarnia team of the Michl-
gan-Ontario league, when Elton
Behnke, End base and pitcher, and
Archie Hill, 3rd base, were signed
up for next season. 1t is said
that an effort was also made to
get Ritz, pitcher, but it failed, as
he preferred to remain in Capac.
Chris Cooley, manager of the
Capac STARS" reports that there
is not much chance of Capac and
Emmett completing their three
game schedule for the county
championship. Each team has
won a game. The Emmett man
ager refuses to play the third
game in any town except Emmett
or Richmond; and Capsc refuses
to play in those towns, but offers
to play in Capac, Port Huron, Ar
mada, Yale, or in any of the other
nearby towns except the two men

Connor's death.
