SURE SIGN THAT WARM
WEATHER is COMING
Local Business Places Will Stay
Open Half of the Evenings
Each Week

Announcement comes from Yale
merchants and meat market men
that commencing next week their
places of business will remain
open on Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday evenings.
The busy season for the farmer
is now at hand and if the pres
ent weather continues he will be
on the jump every minute from
daylight till dark getting his usual
work done and the word that local
merchants will be on the job three
nights a week is indeed a good
thing for him to hear. At dusk
he can jump in the 'flivver' and
run in to town, do the shopping,
and still lose no time from his
regular work. 1t is only as he has
done for years because local mer-
chants are always at the front in
cooperating in any way.
Likewise those behind the coun-
ters will welcome this news for
it means that many cool even
ing during the coming summer
months will find them free to en-
JOY themselves.

A PIONEER STORY

| think that DR.. Jones was one
OF the pioneers of Brockway. !
remember we'll his telling of blaz-
ing the trail from or near where
Old Brockway is now up to his
homestead one mile west of Yale
and one mile north. 1t was vir-
gin forest all the way. The most
beautiful toll pine trees and other
kinds. 1t was near night when he
located the place he wanted and
there was not another man near
er than from where he started to
blaze. Well, he got his supper
and fixed his blankets and was
soon asleep with the stars away
above the tree tops. He awoke
with start and his hair raised
when he located an owl above him
and he saw after looking around
two big eyes so he took his axe
and threw it. He could hear it go
crashing into something. He said
Il have fixed you now," and went
to sleep again. In the morning he
found his axe embedded in a rot
ten log; it was punk fire that
looked like eyes. 1t was not very
long from then before there was
a log house up Then came the
barns and after a while there was
a nice big frame house painted
white. You would almost wonder
how it got there. Myron Woodland
and his brother William were the
carpenters. After that the county
was not so new anymore. The
war was all over when | came,
yet one Sunday morning / was
going to the Menerey school
to church when a wild deer trot-
ted across the road just in front of
me. | wondered how he could get
through the woods with such big
horns, and, he was gone. He sure
did carry white flag. Mr.. Brown
was the preacher then. Every
body called him Daddy Brown.

ST. CLAIR is EASY VICTIM

On Friday afternoon of last
week the base ball team from the
st. Clair High school came up
with the intention of amusing
themselves at the expense of the
Yale team but our boys turned the
tables on them and literally wip-
ed up the diamond at City Park
with the visitors.
The local bunch took the lead
in the initial frame and never for
a moment were they in any dan
ger, the score at the end of the
contest being II to a.
Every member of the Yale team
played good, clean base ball, and
easily out-played their opponents.
They are putting up the real arti-
Gle this season, and lovers of the
sport should encourage them at
every opportunity by their pres
ence.

LOCAL FACTORY IS
TAKING new LIFE,
Old Yale Canning Company Factory Is
Undergoing Large ImprOvents Under
Its New Owners and Managers

AANs @%RANt 13@A Al
! The old familiar whistle at the
canning factory will be heard by
local residents the last week in
June and its sound will call to
duty possibly the largest force
of workers that have ever been
on the pay roll of this institution.
The increased number of employ
eS will earn their pay check in
considerably larger factory than
in the years past when it was the
property Of the Yale Canning Co.
This plant has undoubtedly been
che of the leading spokes in the
city's industrial wheel for the
past nineteen years, being erected
IN 1902 by local people, and, while
it has been of great benefit to the
city as a medium for labor, it has
also been boon to the farmers
in the vicinity who have always
found there a satisfactory market
Tor as many acres Of peas or corn
as they desired to- grow.
Under the management of the
Yale Canning Company, the plant
was all that any Of its kind could
have been, and it endured the up
and down seasons in fine shape,
due in no small measure to the
personal efforts Of the stockhold-
ers and the management during
the past decade.
Several weeks ago came the an
nouncement that the Michigan
Canned Food Company had ac-
CURED the local plant, and as this
company has several other large
factories in the state, interest
was at once created as to what
steps would be taken with the
present equipment and buildings.
EhiS interest, however, has now
turned into complete satisfaction.
and daily many Of the older resi-
dents Of Yale are strolling over
by the pea mill' and, TO their
surprise, are seeing couple of
large additions under construction
besides many alterations to the
old factory, aNd considerable new
And all are leaving
this scene of activity knowing
that the Michigan company is put
ting the local institution on i par
with the leaders Of the state. And
Of city the size or ours it GER
tainly means a great deal, to say
the least.
Establish Vining Stations
One of the main improvements
will be the establishment of vim
ing stations in different parts of
the community. In the past seas
ons the peas were drawn in on
the vine and threshed at the plant.
One readily sees that in the elm
ination of drawing the vines to
town, it will save the farmer, save
ne company NlSpONliS VI JIltSG
vines which have accrued in large
piles every year, and also with a
station established in different
places, the delay that has formerly
made the factory run all night in
order to thresh what had been
hauled in during the day, will be
an event which can be recalled
by the boys who show up each
season for their old jobs. And
to the company it will mean bet
ter finished product.
The Expositor could well give
page Of interesting facts regard
ing this institution, would space
permit, but from week to week it
will give its readers an account
of the, splendid progress that is
being made by the Michigan con-
Germ.

PLANS ARE SHAPING
FOR MEMORIAL DAY

Decoration Days program for
this year is now complete, and as
has always been the custom, the
entire city will turn out in remem-
brance of the veterans who have
passed to the great beyond.
The usual program will be car
ried out in the forenoon, consist
ing of a parade of the school chill
dren, Civil War Veterans, Veter-
ans of the World War. Sons of
Veterans and other organizations,
led by our city band, marching to
Elmwood cemetery, where fitting
tributes will be paid to those who
rest there.
Decoration Day has an even
greater significance since the
close Of the World War, as many
a home in our midst has felt it's
horrible results and May 30 is now
a day that is sacred il every
heart.
Following the parade and cere-
monies Of the forenoon an appro-
pirate program has been arrang-
ed by the committee in charge,
which will commence at 2 o'clock
in the Auditorium. The principal
speaker Of the afternoon will be
the Hon. Harvey Tappan. of Port
Huron, Circuit Judge, who is we'll

Tooth ANNIVERSARY
PLANS PROGRESSING E
No keener Interest Is Shown In County
Than That Locally; Sundays Services
Draw Large, Enthusiastic Audiences

In commemoration of the or
ganization of st. Clair county one
hundred years ago May 9th. 1921
union services were to be held in
the M. E. church in Yale
on Sunday evening last as pei
program published in last weeks
Expositor.
The building was filled to ca
pacity proving very satisfactorily
that Yale citizens are not lack
ing in interest and that when the
time comes for the centennial cell
ebration next summer, all will be
willing and ready to do their part
and our particular portion of the
festivities will be entered into
with as large and fine a spirit as
any other place in the county.
The community chorus, led by
Mr.. Schubert and the community
orchestra led by Fredda Holden,
gave splendid program of music.
The voices in the chorus show the
excellent training received at the
hands of Mr.. Schubert, who has
spent Thursday evening in Yale
for several weeks past. The songs
are full of a wonderful harmony
and spirit and the accompaniment
of both organ and piano by Mrs.
Staley and Mia Holden adds
much to the effectiveness of the
music.
The orchestra, under the direc-
tion of Miss Holden. is doing fine
and much praise is due to all. Mr..
Schubert favored the audience
with several selections on the
clarinet which were certainly en-
joyed.
The Centennial hymn, written
by Fredda Holden and receiving
first prize in the contest, put to
music by Mrs. Staley, was given
its first presentation on this even
ing by choir ana congregation.
There was no doubt about it's be-
ing winner. 1t was very beauti-
full.
The address of the evening was
brought by Alex. Moore, of Port
Huron, who gave the history of st.
Clair county from the time of its
inception. Various bits of interest
ing sketches made his speech we'll
worth hearing.
The opening prayer was made by
Rev. Ryan, Scripture readings by
Rev. Martin, announcements and
benediction by Rev. Mumby.
The union meeting of Sunday
evening seems, in a way, to be a
very good preparation for the
Centennial observance to come
next July. 1t has aroused the in
terest of the people as in no other
way. The committees. all of whom
have been working for weeks, are
very glad of the aroused and
awakened interest and feel that
their work will be made much
lighter from now on.

For situation you are great,

How beautiful you must have

Twas here the red man chased

His children roamed so wild and

Their every want supplied by thee.
The white men came, then all was

Where once the Indian hunter
ranged
The white mans axe the land soon
cleared,
His neat log cabin then appeared;
Ere long the school house had

While pale-faced children played

There lived a man since called

In all good works he led the van,
In truest sense he was 'nan.

From many city, village, town
There's Edison, the world great

Whose happy childhood was spent
here.
Some men to Congress you have
sent,
Some to the legislature went;
While Judges Mitchell, Harris,
Tappan, Law,
Show intellect with scarce flaw.
With lawyers of high degree.
Your doctors, too, should mention

Your clergymen, it is confessed,
And teachers, rank among the

Nor do we think it just and right,
Your kind newspaper men to
slight;
Some of YOUR ablest men work
here
And bring us news from far and
near.
Among your merchants, all agree,
Are men of marked ability;
While hum of factories and mills,
Your Workmen's hearts like music |
thrills.
Your farmers, staunch, who till
the land,
Are of the nations strong right |
hand;
Without them you could never
thrive
They keep all other men alive.
