VISITS OLD HOME TOWN

The Expositor office was hon.
ored On Wednesday afternoon by
visit from one who was native
of our soil some sixty-odd years
ago, having been born about a
mile west of then Brockway Gen.
ire.
We refer to Gustvus S. Kimball
and the Expositor man, although
having met the gentleman before,
enjoyed the short visit greatly.
Mr.. Kimball, while a young man,
taught school for time in st.
Clair county and also in Peck.
Returning to his home in New
York City from Flint, he had
stopped over to greet old friends
in Peck and came to Yale for the
same purpose, it being forty years
since he was here. A few old
friends in the country, who were
neighbors were met, but only one
could say that they recognized
him. This was Mrs. Jordan, and
it speaks well for her memory Of
faces.
Mr.. Kimball has risen in the
world and has reached success in
his chosen profession. He is the
owner of a large private school
in New York City, his card bear
ing his name with title L. L. B.
and president of the Kimball Bus
mess school.
He is also the author of several
text books, business speller, bus
mess English and commercial
arithmetic besides book on sue
cess for young people called
Gaining The Round Above"
We doubt if there be anyone
left in Yale who knew Mr.. Kim
ball in younger days. He is fine
looking, accomplished and pleas
ant gentleman to meet and we are
proud of the fact that here was
his birthplace.

YALE CHAPTER NO. GA
o. +. S. WILL INSTALL
NEW OFFICERS

Yale Chapter is anticipating a
large and enjoyable time on the
occasion of the installation of
Nv officers, the date being set
for Friday, April 28th.
1t is expected that Mrs. Frances
Bell Watson, Past Grand Matron,
will be here for the afternoon and
evening, and the hours will be
full from start to finish.
1t has been arranged that sup
per will be served by the L. B. S.
of the Presbyterian church in the
church dining room at six o'clock
and it is hoped that all Stars will
avail themselves of the privilege
of getting a good supper. Your
presence at the table will mean
that your interest in the Order
does not abate when it comes to
paying fifty cents for the meal,
and besides there will be few
choice toasts and some nice music
thrown in. Take in the supper.
In the afternoon there will be
initiation and other ceremonies,
and after supper the evening hour
will be occupied by the installa-
tion of newly elected and ap-
pointed officers and a school of
instruction.

UNION SERVICES
PASSION WEEK

Thursday evening services in
the Methodist Episcopal church
were perhaps the most inspiring
of all the union meetings being
held in the above and the Presby-
terian church during Passion
week.
A large number of persons were
present and probably about one
hundred partook of the sacrament.
Rev. Alfred Martin gave the ad-
dress of the evening, speaking on
"The Upper Room Experience"
Friday evening the last meet
ing was held in the Presbyterian
church, Rev. Mumby's sermon
dwelling on "Christ and the
Cross"
1t has been felt by both minis
ters and people that these union
meetings have been very helpful
and beneficial in many ways, and
it is hoped they will become
annual experience.

BIG FIND YOURSELF
MEETING FRIDAY EVENING

Week before last sixty-four of
the Yale High School boys filled
out the Self Analysis blanks in
the Find Yourself Campaign con-
Quoted by the County Young Mems
Christian Association. At this
time State Boys Work Secretary
j. f. MacFarland was present as
as well as both the County Y Sec
retary and assistant. Quite q
number of local men attended the
preliminary meeting at which
time the State Secretary of Boys
Work addressed the local High
School Group.
Following the filling out of the
Ga Self Analysis blanks, three of,
the local men with the three Y. M.
C. A. Secretaries analyzed the
blanks and classified them, lead
ing up to the next step, which is
staged for this week Friday eve-
ming.
The plan for Friday evening is
to have different local men rep
resenting the vocations that the
boys want to know about, meet
with the boys whose self analysis
blanks show that these vocations
are the ones with which they
should become familiar.
1t is expected that some of the
leading business men of the coun-
ty will be present. Mr.. R.R. Moore
chairman of the County Y, who is
vice-president of the Diamond
Crystal Salt Co., and Mr.. Ferris
d. Stone, secretary of the Wills
Ste. Clair Automobile Co., are be-
ing asked. Mr.. Stone is vice
chairman of the County Y. The
head engineer of the Diamond
Crystal Salt Co., is also being in
vited.
1t is probable that the local Y
Groups will plan a feed with the
local business men and visiting
friends.

HOMEWARD BOUND

All the American troops on the
Rhine are to be brought home at
once. This announcement will be
received with qualification in this
country. They have been kept
there to assist in enforcing the
treaty of Versailles, to which the
United States is not a party. 1t is
probable they would have been
withdrawn at an earlier date had
it not been for the pleas of the al
lies that they remain. There
seems to be no hurry on the part
of the allies to pay the expenses
of the American army from Ger
man receipts, as the terms of the
armistice direct, and it is better
that the men come home before
the bill is made larger.

BETTER TRANSPORTATION

In an interview with E. J. Bur-
dock, vice-president and general
manager of the Detroit United
Railway, respecting what effect
the municipalization of the So
called Detroit city lines will have
upon interurban service, he ad-
vises that, if any, it will be for the
betterment of the outlying COM
munities.
"This operation" he said, "has
always required an enormous
amount of detail and with this
eliminated to a great degree it
allow us to devote onr whole time
and attention to our interurban
properties and other cities in
which we operate. 1t means that
we will practically have to reor-
ganize our forces in such a man.
ner as will best meet these con-
ditions.
"Our experience in Deroit has
taught us many lessons which we
hope to profit by in the future.
The stereotyped franchises that
have been entered into through
out the country by our forefath-
ers have proven highly unsatis-
factory and future agreements
will have to be greatly modified
to in any way to attract capital"
Although Mr.. Burdock does not
believe in any manner in govern
mental or municipal ownership, he
believes firmly in state control
through utility commissions.
"We DEAL" he said, "in our in
terurban system with over $50
regulatory bodies, which for the
benefit Of the public should be CO.
related in one general construc-
tive plan. This can only be done
by some governing body that is
thoroughly conversant with rail-
way operation and has the inter-
est of the entire community in
mind.
"It will be our ernest endeavor
to come in closer personal touch
with our patrons with the para
mount thought-that of good trans
portation, at only such cost as will
make reasonable return upon a
reasonable investment"

YALE STARTS COURT
FIGHT OVER DRAIN

Yale took action last week to
prevent the commission appointed
by Judge George L. Brown last
Saturday from meeting Monday
to decide whether construction of
a new south branch of the Mill
Creek drain is necessary.
Thruogh its attorneys, j. B.
Weymouth and Frank L. Wilson
the city filed in circuit court bill
asking that c. l.. Boynton, William
Van Valkenburgh and Squire
Langs, the special commissioners
named by the judge. be restrained
from acting with Larry O'Neill to
make any decision about the drain
A petition for mandamus was
also filed against Judge Brown
asking that he be required to set
aside his order appointing the
commissioners and to take proofs
of the questions Of fact on which
Yale bases its objections to the
drain. Judge Eugene F. Law or
dered Judge Brown to show cause
why the mandamus should not be
granted.
Yale claims that construction of
the drain under the present plan
would cause it great expense and
damage.

EASTER SUNDAY SERVICES

1t was a beautiful Easter Sun
day. The dismal, rainy weather
of the end of the week had given
way and the bright, warm sun
held full sway and made happy
the hearts of all. Services at all
the various churches were wonder
fully inspiring and impressive.
The sermons preached by the
pastors touched the people as
with benediction and the de-
lightful music by the choirs was
in perfect accord with the day.
The Sunday schools helped with
their programs of song and reci-
tation, and the congregations at
all the services were large.

LET'S ALL PAY OUR BILLS

Prosperity depends in a very
large measure upon the free cir
culation of money. If we pay you
and you pay some one else and he
passes the money on, and it goes
on and on and on, it will soon get
right back to us, and we can start
right over again.
Isn't it a fact that we all owe
money but can't pay because we
can't collect =? If all of us exert
ed every effort to discharge our
obligations, what would be the re-
suit ?
Well bet all we owe against
all we have coming to us that we'd
have howlin' good times in a hur-
ry.-The Standard.

When We Had Our Rights

Rouse, We Boozemen! Red-nosed men,
Outraged citizens! Listen, then,
While | break your hearts
With tale that starts
Back in the Can Remember When:
When might trade whole weeks pay
For glorious jag that would last all day;
wonderful day and wonderful night,
Including free lunch and fight.
And when at last
The glad hours passed
When swooning Nature could stand no more
He could fall asleep on the sawdust floor,
With his weary head in the cuspidor.
Them the days! And l drop tear
On the mournful grave of that Yesteryear.
Did you ever think of the sinful way
We waste our jack a Saturday?
Blowing the wages grub and shoes
Which once on time would have bought good
booze!
All, cynical one ne'er shake your head
The dime that you spend for loaf of bread
Would have bought you a schooner of foaming
beer
In the joyous days of a vanished year
Dear old songs! Dear old fights
Back in the days when we had our Rights
All, golden days! When yegg could make
barrel Of hooch from one rattlesnake,
One rubber boot and drug or two,
And pass it over the bar to you
AT ten a throw; then, deft and brisk,
Humming carefree ditty, frisk
Your Sunday suit from tie to pants

THE WIFE AND THE PURSE
STRINGS
A Condition Found In Grand
Rapids Same AS Exists In
Most Places

You know, of course, Mr.. Good
Husband, that a wife is the best
partner on earth. Well. then,
why not treat her as one? Oh,
yes, you are kind and affectionate
and all that, but how long would
or could any other kind of part
nership continue if one partner
held control of the purse strings
as his divine right and the other
had to beg for a dollar now and
then as a favor?
A thing that astonished the wo-
mems committees engaged in the
charities drive Of the past week
was the large number of women
without funds of their own. Eyes,
I'd like to give for myself" was
the repeated answer, "but you'll
have to see my husband. | have
no money" And these were most
ly the wives of men in comfort
able circumstances.
Every wife worthy of the name
should have a regular allowance
of her own-not for household ex-
penses, but her own little fund to
do with as she pleases. 1t is
hers by right and it is none of
your business Mr.. Husband, if
she uses it for herself, buys lacy
things for daughter or gives it
to charity. Like a lot of other
good men you've no idea how
many starved souls there are and
how much of humiliation and
shamefacedness for lack of that
feeling Of economic independence
that goes with a little regular
money.
Maybe, you, like lot of other
men in business or the trades,
think that you are the logical
guardian of the pocketbook. Well,
how is she going to learn? You
may be called away from here
some day and then the family
given your fond care will be head
ed by woman whom you have
kept helpless as to the simplest
business transactions. Doesn't it
make your heart sick when you
see similar cases all about you
and note how the wolves in
sleeps clothing flock to separate
the widow from her money?
No, sir, you have hold of the
wrong Of the idea. The surest way
to make the wife extravagant is
to give her the impression that
whatever she gets out of you by
gift or death is sheer velvet. The
best way to teach thrift is to
make her reasonable allowance.
If you have a bank account see
that she has a bank account too.
even If very modest one. Teach
her to draw checks and to balance
her account regularly and you
will be surprised at the knowl.

will pick up and the good effect
it will have in the system of the
