THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"CANARD D."

TN ENGLISH the word "ca-
Il nard" is used To signify fab
ricated, sensational story
something made up "Out Of the
whole CLOTH" verbal bomb
usually sprung at the last mo-
ment so that there will not be
time successfully TO contradict
1t. But "canard," in French,
means duck. There doesn't
appear to be much connection be-
tween the two-but there is. In
fact the whole thing goes hack
To ducks, twenty of them.
Norbert COrnellssen, II French
, man who lived during the last
century, determined to expert
, ment with the credulity Of the
public and reported to the news
, papers that he had a flock of
ducks, twoscore In number, Of
which he took one, cut II into
small pieces and threw the bits
to the other nineteen, which de-
voured them ravenously. Then,
scarcely giving the ducks time
to get hungry, Cornelissen re-
peated the experiment and was
! once more successful. "In an
amazingly short space of time"
. he declared, "the flock was re
F, duced to single duck, which
. had eaten his nineteen broth
, prs."
Scientists and naturalists
argued about the matter for
, some days through the columns
of the Partisan papers, Then
1, Cornelissen confessed that the
. whole thing was hoax. There
I, had never even been n flock of
ducks, Just the one that he kept
for purposes of exhibition. But
rhe report had gained so much
publicity that the phrase "duck
, story" was implanted in French
slang. much as "Gsh story" Is an
: accepted cOllOquialism In Eng
lish. "Canard" became synony-
nous with hoax and, instead Of
being translated, the word was
: adopted bodily into English I'm
. It's present sense.

JUST A SUGGESTION

Yale is beginning to put on so
many metropolitan airs that we
feel ourselves almost a regular
city in fact as we'll as name.
We have the real foundation
that forms the solid basis of a
town or city, our factories, the
mammoth woolen mill plant; the
flax mill. the roller flour mill and
the canning factory, all well es-
tablished
These will be instrumental in
bringing others. We have nu-
merous other industries and bus
inesses, also the schools and
our churches, all doing an i'm
portant part in the steady life
and growth of our pretty little
city. We have our little river
winding along thru fertile fields
we have a small, hat beautiful
park, easy of access, We have a
light and water plant efficiently
and capably taken care of. We
ihave good roads leading north,
1uth, east and west. We have a
progressive people, willing to
live aand let live. and last, but
mot least, we have a new cement
road, running full mile through
out the length of our city, just
being opened up and finished, and
with all the earmarks of clry
we still cling to that time-worn,
obsolete title bestowed upon the
thoroughfare which runs north
and south. Main street-aren't
we worthy of something different
something more in keeping with
our progressiveness
SWe are open to the suggestion
OF euphonious names from our
readers and we start the ball
rolling with--Brockway avenue.

THE COMING CELEBRATION

To show that the committee in
charge of the coming Caledonian
celebration is working to make
this years program something
worth while, we can announce a
few of the attractions.
The Scotch end of the doings
will be by the celebrated Mac
Phail Troupe, of Detroit, who
gave such entire satisfaction in
191S-19. There will be a big sham
battle at the park on one of the
days and a regular old-fashioned
barbecue the other.
Base ball games, athletic
sports, dancing and other amuse-
ments will be provided for the
visitors.
The dates are set late enough
in the season so most of the farm
work will be out of the way, and
everybody can attend,
Bills will be out in week or
so containing the complete pro-
gram and other information re-
garding the celebration.

The Chautauqua Was a Success;

Although so soon after the

NEW STATE BANK

The private bank of Chas. X.
Ferguson of Almont closed its
doors recently, the following
message appearing: "On account
of the withdrawal of deposits, 1t
has been necessary to close this
bank"
This bank was organized in
1872 by Mr.. Ferguson and his
father, and until a few years agt
was Almont's only bank. Then
the Almont SAY ings bank was or
ganized and naturally some of
the business was. transferred
from the older insClCu,.o. 10 the
new one. Later came the war,
followed by tight money and the
ferguson securities dwindled in
value and the banks liquidation
sank very low. Depositors began
to draw out their accounts be-
cause they needed the none.
Ferguson could not realize the
cash on many of his securities,
some of his loans could not be
called because the debtor had no
money. Finally the crash came
and Mr.. Ferguson and the deposit
tors and other creditors are
heavy losers.
Friends of Mr.. Ferguson STAT
that there is no question of hi
honesty or no question that he
has misappropriated funds. He
puts up everything he had to help
pay the creditors.
A new State Bank has been or.
ganized and will do business in
the Ferguson building as soon as
the charter is received from Lam
sing.
The bank will be known as the
Farmers State Savings bank and
will have a capital of $4,000 anC
$4,000 surplus. Each stockholdel
is limited to 10 shares $1,000.
Men prominent in the new or
ganization are Frank Bishop
Ralph Bishop, Charles Scully
John Hopkins, r. X. Wescott anC
David BOfiland.
