Michigan An Empire In Itself

Quite a good many years ago
when the subject of Free-trade
and Protection was the issue in
the national campaigns, America 5
great statesman, James g. Blaine,
debated with Hon. VIM. Gladstone
the grand old man Of England. Mr..
Gladstone spoke of America as a
world within itself, and in his re-
ply Mr.. Blaine remarked that
Gladstone suggested that policy
of government suitable for an is
land in the northern ocean should
not become that of country
which in his own vision is world
within itself.
Now what do you know about
our state of Michigan ? 1t is real
ly an empire within itself.
Do you know it is the seventh
in population
Do you know that it is larger
than England and Wales in area
Do you know that it stands 5ti
in the union in manufactured
products T.?
Do you know it is the largest in
area east of the Mississippi, max
ing exception of Georgia
Hon. Gerritt Diekema once
called it a three story state with
production on all floors. What dc
you know about Michigan?
Truly, it is an empire withir
itself when YOU consider all its
varied resources.

AUTO COLLISION

What might have been a fatal
auto accident occurred yesterday
morning on the gravel road about
six miles west Of Yale, when the
machine driven by Frank Griffith
collided with the Paul Peters ear.
There was a dense fog at the time
and it was impossible for the driv-
ers to see each other.
In one car were Mr.. and Mrs.
Griffith and daughter, while in the
other were Mr.. and Mrs. Peters,
who had been out in Lynn spend
ing the night at VIM. Gottschalk's.
Mr. Peters suffered a broken leg
and his wife was quite badly
bruised and shaken up. Mrs.
Griffith was badly injured and was
brought to her home in Yale in
an unconscious condition. The
baby was bruised considerably
but not seriously hurt. Frank
was uninjured.
Both the machines are badly
wrecked, and it is wonder that
some Of the party were not killed,

St. Clair Rural Carriers Organize

Fifteen rural carriers of st.
Clair county met at Emmett re-
Gently and organized a county as
sociation.
The following officers were
chosen Pres, Vernon Graham,
Capac; vice-pres., Chas. j. Gil
bert; sec. treas, Fred Nolan, En-
NETT.
Several matters were brought
up for discussion, among them
being the placing of mail boxes on
the right side of the road. On the
main travelled roads where scores
of autos pass every hour, it is
rather a dangerous task for the
carrier to turn out at the left side
and stop at boxes. One of our
Memphis carriers narrowly avert
ed an accident while placing mail
in a box on the left side of the
road.
The date of the next meeting
will be some time next May

WILL TOUR COUNTRY
IN HOMEMADE HOUSE

st. Clair, Sept. 27-Across the
country to California and back in
a Ford truck is the goal of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Sheppard and
children who left last week in
their homemade caravan. They
announced no particular destina-
tion and no time limit but will tour
along the roads of the country,
visiting here and there a spot
of interest and camping out at
night along the way.
Their caravan consists of a
wooden house mounted on a truck
The lower part of the house is en-
closed in wood, while the upper
part has three windows covered
with screen, much on the order a
jitney busses operating in the cit
les. On each side dropping from
the roof, are rolls of canvas. They
will be let down to the ground at
night and spread out on either
side, making tent with the house
on the truck as its center.
On the right hand side, near the
front, there is a door where the
occupants enter the machine and
another door is at the rear end.
The driver operates the truck
from the inside.
A complete outfit for camping
is to be picked up by Mr.. Shep-
pard as he progresses on his trip.
He stated that he expected to buy
eight folding cots, one for each of
the party. Mr.. and Mrs. Shep-
pard have six children, all of
whom are making the trip.
Mr.. Sheppard and John Tassie
built the house part of the outfit
and fitted out the truck. Mr..
Tassie intended to accompany the
party but was forced to stay be-
hind to close up some business.
He plans on joining the party at
some southern point within few
weeks. They probably will return
to this city in about a year,

III everyone born and reared In
this town had remained here to
make his permanent home, we
should be city of several thous-

now number.
On the other hand, cities and
towns elsewhere that have AT
tracted our youth would never
have been founded, perhaps, and
America would remain as it was
in pioneer days-a great CONT
nent with a few scattered cities
all too large, all over-congested.
But the opportunity that calls
men away from their native homes
keeps the great movement alive,
with the result that practically
every corner of America has in it
representative of this state.
However, the home town always
mas its interests for the people
who needed the call to go else
where, and news of its progress
and the doings of its people is
welcome news to the native ana
former resident, wherever he may
now be located.
Correspondence, however faith
ful, cannot cover all the news and
gossip, and seldom deals with
more than family affairs. The
perfect medium, Of course, is the
nome town newspaper, which
prints all the news of all the peo-
pie. Some OF these items, while
OF limited interest to you, might
be OF great interest to one away

A PLEASANT OUTING

The Ladies Benevolent Society
of the Presbyterian church receiv-
ed an invitation from Mrs. Mason
to spend day with her at her
farm home south and east of
Brockway, and the invitation was
quickly and gladly accepted and
all arrangements made at their
regular meeting on Sept. Ia.
The date set was Saturday, the
Oath. The members of the choir
and all those who could go on that
day, men or women. were includ-
ed in the invitation, and about
II: 80, with a perfect sky above, a
large number of machines could
be noticed travelling on the Old
Brockway road.
A royal welcome awaited the
guests, about thirty-five in all, at
the home of Mrs. Mason and her
daughter Edith, and soon the ma
chimes were loaded up again and
short trip made down grassy
lanes, through the meadows, to
the lovely natural basin, or park,
along Mill creek, bordered on one
side by high cliffs and wooded
slopes and the other more grad
ual incline. This portion of Mrs.
Mason's wonderful estate is an
ideal picnic ground.
Table cloths were soon spread
upon the grass in the shade of
trees and the pot-luck dinner Of
several courses brought by the
ladies, augmented by numerous
big platters of fried chicken,
mashed potatoes and gravy, hot
coffee and quarts of real cream,
supplied by the hostess, were
soon in the best positions for the
serving of hungry folks, and if
one did not get what one wanted,
it was not the fault of that won
derfully furnished table.
The after-dinner hours were
spent in pleasant conversation,
games and sports along the stream
and all were loath to leave. A
vote of thanks and a grand hip
hip-hurrah was given the hostess
and her daughter, and a hearty
"come again" was received in re-
turn.
All say it will be no long day
before another picnic comes off
in the same spot.

matter.
