The great American need is for
vision of larger life and its possi-
bilities. Our vision is limited, there
fore our possibilities are limited. Our
vision is limited because we lack a
definite aim, definite ambition. The
best efficiency experts tell us that
only 10 per cent of the people of this
country have a definite object, gen.
uine motive for living. It is lack OF
a definite object in life that causes SC
many people to drift. The man who
has none is going nowhere, he is just
drifting, and that is the reason he

The "Get Acquainted party of
last Saturday evening, the first So
acial function of the season, proved
to be a great success. 1t was a joint
party of the Sophomores, Juniors and
Seniors for the purpose of meeting all
the new scholars and having a real
, enjoyable evening. .t
At $3.50 the crowd was divided into
two groups and games commenced.
Everyone played Three Deep, Drop the
Handkerchief, Ruth and Jacob, and
closed up with the Flying Dutchman.
The last seemed to be enjoyed the
most and everyone noted that al
though Mr.. Scott may not be Dutch
man, he surely could run.
At $50 games were abandoned
(the faculty were tired) and with
Mildred at the piano dancing was
started. Timid at first, the boys did
not appear on the floor, but soon all
joined, that is all four of them did.
After an hour dancing grand
march was led by Mr.. and Mrs. Ed

AT 11:30 the party broke up and all
went home to dream of night spent

EMMETT MAN HIT BY TRAIN

Larry Cunningham, 70, of near
Emmett, died at the Port Huron
hospital early yesterday morning
as the result of injuries received
when he was struck by a Grand
Trunk freight train near Emmett
Tuesday night.
Cunningham lived about two
miles east of Emmett alone on a
farm. 1t was his, custom to walk
to Emmett to spend the evening
and Tuesday night he was re-
turning from the town when he
was struck by the freight train
that approached from the east.
Cunningham suffered broken leg,
other external bruises and in
ternal injuries which proved ia
tai few hours later.
The freight train stopped and
the crew picked up Cunningham
and brought him to the Emmett
station where DR.. Haight, of En-
NETT gave him first aid after
which he was brought to the Port
Huron hospital in A.W. McNinch's
ambulance.
1t is thought Cunningham
heard the train approaching, but
supposed it was on the other
track and made no effort to get
out of the way.

THE WOODS
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
SYLVIA.

TT WAS because the dawn was IN
her eyes,
II was because the night was In her
hair,
Because heard the forest In her
sighs,
held her fair.
She came upon me meath the huddled
caves,
She walked beside me In the maze
of men-
Her sadness. sadness of a wood tha,
grieves.
Her smile, the sun again.
Her voice was like the whispering OF
trees,
Her laughter like the tinkle of a
rill
Her cheeks blushed roses. roses such
as these
Upon the hill.
She was river in a thirsty land
A changeless star in midnight skies
to shine
Her touch, to walk with Nature hand
in-hand-
And she was mine, was mine.
So leave me In the wood little
while;
Here where the grass is greenest
let me lie.
The sun shall bring me once again
her smile
The wind her, sigh
Here only do we seem no more apart,
In verdant ways beneath the skies
of blue;
The stirring earth will seem a beat
Ing heart,
The heart. the heart I knew.
Once only she could bring the forest
near,
In those old days amid the painting
crowd,
Once only she could make the stars
appear
Beyond the cloud.
So now the forest that her soul ex-
pressed
TO my own soul is her interpreter
In ev'ry wind that wanders east or
west
hear hut her, but her!

CANNING FACTORY HARD HIT
BY SCARCITY; RELIEF IN
SIGHT
Special Meeting Will Be Held At
Council Chamber Monday
Evening

A matter Of great Importance is
facing officials, manufacturers
and citizens of our little city to-
day. 1t is far more vital than aay
question that has confronted us
in all times past. And while it
only can be regarded as one thing
-water-it must be understood
to mean many things. At present,
depending on water are thousands
Of dollars. A seasons crop can
perish within the next week. and
should this hapepn a large pay
roll will be discontinued.
The Michigan Canned Food Co.
has an enormous crop this year to
can and they are consuming great
quantities of water. And besides
the present scarcity is only enabl-
ing this firm to run at one-fourth
OF their capacity. With peas
crop that is perishable. and the
Gamers having no water with
which to work, things are in a
bad shape.
City officials are doing their
best TO help matters, notices be-
ing sent out Wednesday request
ing citizens to discontinue the
use OF their lawn hose and in ev-
cry way conserve the water. 1t
is the hope of those in charge
chat ali residents will be very
conSlderate in this matter.
A temporary arrangement to
secure more water will be work
ing III. few hours, the canning
factory having purchased pumps
which ale being installed on the
we'll ON the Barr farm south of
the city and it is believed that this
VIII help great deal. The we'll is
a couple of years old and has al
ways produced good quantity of
water
The now dusty streets, which
the officials realize are very dis
agreeable will be taken care of as
soon as a car of oil, which was
shipped on the 7th Of july, arriv-
es and can be applied.
Light and Water Commissioner
Green has requested the Exposi-
tor to announce that on Monday
evening next, at the council room,
there will be meeting of citizens,
in regard to this question. At
that time Mr.. Kenzie, of Mem
phis, an authority on wells, will
be in attendance. and the COM
missioner hopes that with the at
tendance of all members of the
common council and a large rep
resentatiOn of citizens that some
step can be taken to relieve the
present state of affairs and to
secure plans that will overcome
the scarcity of water.
This meeting is at 1880 and all
citizens should attend inasmuch
as it concerns all. The canning
factory is suffering now and in
case of a fire the whole town
might be wiped out.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
A WAS HUGE SUCCESS
County History Lived Over Again
In Grand Pageant
Spectacles

The celebration in honor of our
county's one hundredth birthday
is over. The months of planning
working and carrying out of all
the schemes for making this eel,
ebration an unusual and SUGGEST
full event, have passed and gone
and we have now only the memory
OF all the wonderful scenes we
have witnessed, which will be
with us through our remaining
years to be relived over and over
again in our thoughts and in
pleasant conversation.
The occasion was observed in
each town of the county in some
manner of celebration, but only
five put on the big Pageant, di-
rected by the Misses Lambkin
and Keith and DR.. Bacon: Capac,
Yale, Boards Hill, st. Clair and
the final grand united spectacle
on Friday in Port Huron.
The weather during the whole
week was extremely hot and dry,
so much so that it interfered
with the enjoyment Of the large
audiences, but did not detract
from the work of those taking
part in the doings. Friday after
noon a shower came up just be-
fore time for the Pageant in
Port Huron and heavy down.
pour of rain fell in the evening,
giving full time for the scenes
to be enacted from four to seven
between showers. 1t is estimated
that a crowd of over 5000 people
witnessed the Friday celebration
in Port Huron and many from the
other towns took part in this final
wind-up. The whole celebration
was one to do honor and credit
to our county, to those who or
ganized the production and to all
who assisted. 1t was a real sue
cess and will go down in history
as splendidly worthwhile
epoch, marking a period which,
when another hundred years rolls
by, many of it's events may be re-
produced as creditable and tai
ented scenes in the second GEN.
tennial. We will not be here to
witness it but we are all proud
that the first one has come in our
lifetime.

GRANT HOLDEN
WINS Law SUIT
Yale Man Wins Suit To Recover
MOneg Paid for Dog That
Was Misrepresented

The story of disappointed
coon hunter, an unsatisfactory
coon dog, and the American Ex-
press Company being out 500 as
a result of its transaction in re-
lation to the dog, was revealed
in a ruling made by Judge Eugene
F. Law in the case of Gran. Hold
en-, local druggist, against the
American Express Company, In
circuit court.
Some time ago Holden bought
a guaranteed coon dog from w.
d. Pugh, Williamstown, Ohio, up
on the condition that he could de-
posit the price of the dog, 800,
with the express agent at Yale,
and take the dog out and try it
for 20 days.
When Holden gave the dog a
trial he found that it would not
hunt coons or possums at all, but
persisted in giving its attention
to skunks and rabbits. After ID
days trial the disgruntled COON
nuntef Shlpped the oOg Dack 10
Pugh in Ohio. Then he found
that the express agent had al
ready sent the 500 deposit on to
Pugh. Pugh had both the dog
and the $100, and Holden had
neither. Accordingly he brought
suit against the express company
in Judge Laws circuit court.
In the suit. the American Ex-
press Company maintained that
the contract upon which the dog
was shipped and the deposit made
was contrary to the laws of the
interstate commerce commission
governing carriers. Judge Law,
however, ruled that in holding ell
ther the dog or its price, the ex-
press company was acting as a
warehouse and was not subject in
that particular instance to the
laws of the interstate commerce
commission and ordered that the
500 be paid to Holden.
