STARS ARE HOSTESSES;
MASONS ARE GUESTS

The regular meeting Of Yale
Chapter O. f. S. on Wednesday
evening, was marked by pro-
ceeding a bit irregular, when af-
ter the chapter was closed a good
ly number of members Of the Ma
sonic order presented themselves
to be entertained by the Stars, as
per previous invitation.
a varied program had been pre-
pared, speeches, music, readings,
drills and funny stunts" which
was carried out to the pleasing
satisfaction Of all, with the ex-
ception Of one number, a talk by
S. p. Anderson, Of Port Huron,
Worshipful Grand Master of the
Michigan Grand Lodge, who was
unable to be present.
A welcome TO the visiting breth-
rem was given by Mrs. Edward
Andreae in behalf Of the Stars !;
Response was made by n. B. Her
bert; Short talks were heard from
various ones; solo was rendered
by Mrs Chas. Cavanagh and a
trio by Fredda Holden, Mia Hol-
den and Mrs. Rhea Andreae; Rec
itations were given by Mrs. Edna
Peacock and Grace Menzies; a
drill by twenty Stars, in which
they formed certain Masonic en-
blems, was most interesting. and
n splendid talk by the Worthy
Matron, Mrs. Rhea Andreae, clos
ed the program until lunch was
served. OF course the lunch was
prepared especially for the liking
of the men, consisting of sand
wiches, pickles, doughnuts and
coffee, which filled the right spot
and left that satisfied feeling.
After that, a mock initiation"
was gone through with, with
much ceremony by the officers of
this particular lodge and with lit
tie ceremony toward the lll-used
candidate.
All things have an end and so
this thoroughly enjoyable eve
ming came to a close with the feel
ing that the tie that bids had
been effectually cemented between
the Masonic Order and the East
ern Star.

LEGION RULED IN CLASS
BY ITSELF IN ONO COURT

An Ohio court has decided that The
American Legion Is the only all-in.
elusive military organization and
therefore has designated the American
Legion OF Ohio as the administrator
Of a trust fund OF $4,000 which had
been raised originally for the benefit
of the soldiers of the Eighty-third and
Thirty-seventh Divisions.
The Ohio department of the Legion
will advise and assist three trustees
appointed by the court who are
charged with administering the funds
tor the benefit of the sick and wound
ed and otherwise disabled soldiers Of
Ohio.
The Ohio decision is extremely inn
portant as a precedent establishing
that the Legion is the only all-inclu-
sive and truly representative organiza-
ton of American World War veterans
and that it is entitled for this reason
to administer the residue OF all war
funds.
This precedent is expected to enable
Legion departments in many States
and posts in many cities to obtain by
court action control of funds raised
during the war to assist soldiers of
States or localities Many such funds
remain in banks or in the hands OF

YALE 6; DECKERVILLE s

A great foot ball battle was
staged on the Deckerville gridiron
Tuesday afternoon when the Yale
and Deckerville High school
teams clashed. The final result
was a 6 to G tie. Yale would prob
ably have won the game except
for the slippery condition of the
field. On several occasions the
locals worked the ball close to
the Deckerville goal, only 70
lose it.
Yale showed somewhat greater
offensive than Deckerville and the
wild cats" have strong hopes Of
coming out on the winning end
when Deckerville plays at Yale on
Thanksgiving Day.
The game is scheduled for 2 80.
Don't miss seeing the great battle
which is .sule to result.
Another great struggle is to
take place Friday afternoon at
$3.50, when Yale meets Marlette
on the local field. The locals
would rather win this game than
any other on the schedule. Every
one turn out and see them do it !

trustees who are uncertain regarding
how to dispose OF them
In hearing the case. the Ohio court
considered the aims and purposes and
general character OF all the veterans
organizations. It's decision was that
The American Legion was lin class
by Itself" because OF its allinclusive
membership.
Several soldier organizations laid
claim to the fund but the Legion won
out on its plea that 1t is the only one
to which all soldiers in the World
War are eligible.
The fund as originally raised
amounted to about 100000. 1t was to
have been used to provide comforts
and necessities for the men of the
Ohio divisions while they were in
France. The money was left in the
possession of William Cooper Proctor
of Cincinnati as trustee, to be called
for when needed by General Glenn,
Commander of the Eighty-third Divi-
sion. The money was never called
for. When with interest additions it
had reached the total of $4,000, the
trustee filed his action in court, sug.
gesting that the fund be turned over
to trustees to be administered by the
Legion.

THANKSGIVING DAY
PROCLAMATION

"Oh, that man would praise the
Lord for His goodness, and for his
wonderful works to the children
of men,"
In accordance with the custom
long ago established by our faith
ers, it is entirely fitting that. at
this season Of the year, we should
set apart a day of thanksgiving to
Almighty God, the source Of all
good for the manifold mercies
and blessings that are ours.
There is an old legend which
says that there are two angels
whose duty it is to bear from
earth the prayers of men. One is
the angel of Requests and the 9th
er the angel Of Thanksgiving.
Each carries a large basket as he
flies from place to place, listening
at the doors of prayer closets.
The angel Of Requests soon has
his basket filled and heaped up
with the supplications of men, but
the angel of Thanksgiving, after
going all his rounds, has only a
few little hymns in the bottom of
his basket.
Perhaps this fancy is truer than
we suppose. People murmur and
find fault much oftener than they
rejoice and give thanks; but, as
we look back over the past year,
we have abundant reason for
Thanksgiving in our individual
lives, as a State and as a Nation.
A sufficient harvest has been
gathered and we are assured of
sustenance for man and beast.
Our people, as a rule have been
sober and steadfast, honest and
industrious. No other land has
been so highly favored as our
own. We still have grave prob
lens to solve, but, gaining cOur-
age from the experience of the
past, we may go forward in hope
and confidence, guided and bless
ed by the Providence Of God.
Therefore, by virtue of the au-
thority vested in me as Governor
of the State of Michigan, / hereby
join the President Of the United
States in designating Thursday,
November "a, 1921, as a day of
Thanksgiving and prayer.
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal Of the State, this 10th
day Of November in the year Of
our Lord, one thousand nine hun
dred and twenty-one, and Of the
Commonwealth the eighty-fifth.
Alex J. GrOesbeck. Governor
BY the Governor:-Charles J. De
Land, Secretary Of State.
