SPRING BATTERY q !. I. !, !,
OVER HAULING

Practically all motorists recognize
the benefit of spring overhauling
for the car. And within a few weeks
thousands will be attacking this task
more or less assiduously according
to their enthusiasm or their famil-
iarity with the subject.
But the elimination of carbon, the
Tightening up of the bearings, bolts
and nuts, and the freshening effects
of a coat of paint are not sufficient,
according to Mr.. Clayton Steele,
manager Of the local Exide Service
Station.
'sThe battery, says Mr.. Steele,
requires more or less attention at
all times of the year, but especially
after it has stood in the car--idle or
otherwise-throughout the winter.
"Corrosion may have taken place
around the terminals. This should
be carefully scraped off and vaseline
spread over them to prevent further
trouble of this kind.
"The cradle in which the battery
rests, is frequently so badly corrod-
ed by acid, figuratlvely speaking, the
battery is only held by thread. In
fact, / have seen a mans battery
drop out on the road because the
motorist had failed to examine his
cradle.
'"The wisest course is to drive the
car to the nearest service station
either before or after you have COM
pleted the rest of the overhauling.
Here, an expert battery man can
test your battery, tell whether it
needs any repairs and in other ways
assure the success of your spring
overhauling.
"One way of avoiding this-if you
lay your car up for the winter-is
to store your battery with your bat
terry service station until spring. The
cost is nominal, but when you are
ready for the touring season, you
can be sure your battery is in good
condition.
ITO sum up. remember your bat
terry is an important part of your
car. Give it at least, the same at
tention you give to other parts and
you will have no cause to swear at
the battery-rather you will swear
by it."

WIDOW. 100, TILTED BY SWAIN OF


Kansas City, March 15.-Mrs. En-
ma Mcmahon, who last December eel
ebrated her one hundredth birthday
had expected to be bride today. She
was to have become the wife of Sims
Berry, a youth of 80, but the prospec-
tive bridegroom got cold feet last
night just as the knot was about to be
tied.
Berry had joined with friends and
relatives in the iollity of the occas-
ion. With the prospective bride he had
received congratulations and best
wishes. Then the newspaper report
ers arrived With them they brought
photographers. Everybody was pertur-
bed and Berry baked. He did not want
to get into the newspapers. The re-
porters pleaded with him to be good
fellow and not spoil things, but he be-
came angry, grabbed his coat and hat
and len the house. They waited fol-
him to return, but he never showed
up again.

SWEET REVENGE

The foot ball season came to a
close Friday afternoon when Yale
playing Croswell, battled through
to a 7 to 6 victory. This game
was one of the hardest games .of
the season. Earlier in the season
Yale had been defeated "a to 0 on
Croswell's gridiron because of the
latter's aerial attack. This was
overcome in the last game.
The first touchdown was the re-
suit of a spectacular BOYD. run
by quarterback Stableford. Cog
ley kicked goal. The Croswell
touchdown came when the speedy
full back, intending to pass and
finding his men covered resorted
to his speed, and rounded Yale's
right end for a touchdown. They
failed to kick goal, thus leaving
Yale in the lead. When the final
whistle blew, the ball was in
Yale's possession.
This was the final game of a
successful season, Yale having
won 5, lost 2, tied l. The two
Marlette games are not counted
because of Marlette's use Of in

SECOND FIRE AT AvOCA

A total loss of $1,000 resulted
at 600 a. M, Saturday when the
concrete garage of Fred Oatman
at Avoca burned, with ten auto
mobiles which were stored there.
Of the total, $4,000 was lost by
customers, whose cars were stor-
ed in the building. No insurance
was carried on the property. The
building contained ten automo-
biles, three of which belonged to
Oatman.
Volunteer fremen responded to
the call and saved two frame
houses on either side Of the burn
ing building. Oatman's home,
80 feet east Of the building, and
another house, ten feet west were
saved by the work of the fremen.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
Oatman states that he suspects
that it was of incendiary origin,
but did not indicate who he
thinks is responsible.

Edward Myron Sexton, son of
John Sexton, was born in Yale
May 19, 1896, and departed this
life on Thursday, November 23rd,
at his home here. after an illness
of two months.
Myron received his schooling in
Yale public schools and early went
sailing on the great lakes, which
calling he followed until his last
sickness.
He was young man of splend-
i'd principle and good habits and
well liked by everyone with whom
he came in contact.
After the mothers death he,
with his sister Tena, seemed to
very naturally take control of the
household and the youn.er chill
dren left motherless, and both
have been of the greatest possible
help and assistance to the father.
Myron's death came as a great
blow to his loving sisters, broth
ers and parent. Everything pos
sible was done to alleviate his
suffering and bring him back to
health. Two nurses, besides the
physician, were with him con-
stantly, but to no avail.
He is survived by his father and
four brothers, John, jr., Canton,
Ohio; Leo, whose present address
is unknown; Charlie, Canton, o..

Tena, Mary and Helen, at home,
and Julia, of Detroit.

NO SAFER INVESTMENT
IN WHOLE WIDE WORLD
People Holding War Savings
Stamps Soon to Cash In; Govt
Offers Safe Reinvestment.

Washington, Nov. 15-War Saw
ings Stamps of the series of 1918,
become due and payable on Jan.
/, 1923. The people who bought
these stamps will receive their
full face value upon redemption
and will find that the money they
saved five years ago has earned
every year about four per cent
compounded interest. In order to
afford holders of war savings
stamps an opportunity to contin-
ue their investment in a safe
government security the Treas
ury Department. is offering an eX-
change of War Savings Stamps
for Treasury Savings Certificates.
The certificates are issued in de-
nominations of $25, 500 and
1000, maturity value, and sold
for $40, 80 and $500, respectively.
Holders of War Savings Stamps
can get them at these prices upon
application through their own
banks or their postoffices. EX-
changes will be made as of Janu-
ary l, 1928, upon applications pre-
sented between Nov. Is, 1922, and
January 15, 1928. Immediate
payment will be made in cash of
any difference due the holder of
War Savings Stamps if he takes
the largest possible amount of
Treasury Savings Certificates on
the exchange.
The growing inclination Of the
people to save and their desire to
find safe re-investment for their
money leads Treasury officials to
believe that a large part of the
six hundred million dollars in
War Savings Stamps soon to be-
come due will be exchanged for
Treasury Savings certificates.
