VALUATION OF THE
STATE is RAISED
St. Clair County Gets a Boost of
20,438,000 Over 1921
Figures

Lansing, Mich, Aug. 16-An in
crease of the valuation of the state
of nearly $1,50O,00O,000 as the
basis for 1922 assessments, was
recommended to the state board
of equalization by the state tax
commission today.
The valuation as set by the
board of equalization in 1921 was
five billion. The recommendation
submitted by the tax commission
was S6,487,187000. The increase
would be spread over the entire
state, not single county being
recommended for a lower valua-
tion than last year.
The proposed ratio of increase
is not constant, 80 there would be
some variance in the proportion
of the state tax to be paid by q
single county from last year.
The state board of equalization
will meet in Lansing Aug. 21 to
consider the commissions recon-
mendation.
Wayne county, according to the
recommended valuation, would be
increased more than half billion
dollars. The valuation in 1921 was
$2,O38,547,000 and the commits
sion's recommendation for 1922 is
1852, ,079,000. Of the total state
tax Wayne would pay 40.51 per
cent as compared to 40.77 last
year.
st. Clair county's valuation is
increased from $77,621, 900 in 1921
to $1O0,059,000. This will increase
the percentages of state tax to be
paid by st. Clair county from 1.41
to 1.54.

STARTED AEINING
COAL WEDNESDAY

Operators of the central COM
petitive field and miners repre-
sentatives on Tuesday ratified a
temporary wage agreement which
marks the first steps towards end
ing the nationwide bitumious
coal strike, and on Wednesday
morning the miners went back
to work.
This step should have been TAX
en- long ago. Things have certain
ly come to a pretty pass when
a few hundred thousand men can
tie up the industries of a coun-
try the size of the United States,
and paralyze business the way
the unions and operators have
proven they can do, during the
past few months. These men
give no thought to the millions
who would be out of work if the
strike were continued, and also
the many millions more who
would be deprived of heat and
other necessities of life. Surely
it is time something was done
to put muzzIe on the bunch Of
strike agitators and walking del
cgGtes' who go from place to
place stirring up dissatisfaction.
in nine cases out of ten these are
the gents who are 60 blame for all
che trouble.
We have nothing against union
ism, in fact we think it mighty
good thing up to the point when
few Of the leaders can declare
a strike large enough to endanger
the lives Of our people and the
Industries of our country.

A PLEASANT TRIP

Two Chevrolets left Yale early
Sunday morning, carrying Mr..
and Mrs. Bert Kelley. daughter
Lois, Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Klebarth,
Floyd Oatman. Mary Frostic, Mr.,
and Mrs. ia. Menzies and daugh-
ter Grace, with an objective point
of Oak Grove Beach, on Saginaw
Bay, and a picnic dinner.
The weather was ideal for
driving and the roads for the
most part, very good. The drive
up was made part of the way on
NJ 10 road which runs through
Yale. Bad Axe was the first
town of any size to be passed
through up. From there the
party went to Pinnebog, where
we turned off for the bay and
the grove. Quite a number of
cottages and, tents are here locat-
ed and the beach is fine for bath
ing purposes.
After big dinner we drove on
to Caseville, some fifteen miles,
and came home by way of Pigeon,
Elkton, Cass City and Marlette.
There are long stretches Of
gravelled, crushed stone and tar
va roads connecting these upper
towns, and cement. in the main
streets.
The farms and farm homes are
very prosperous looking and well
cared for, but it is very dry and
dusty up there.
The long ride, the speedometer
reading something over 200 miles
was one of special pleasure. en-
joyed thoroughly by each one of
the party.

Neighborhood News
From Nearby Towns
ITEMS TAKEN FROM NEWSPAPERS OF NEIGH
BORING TOWNS AND VILLAGES.
WHY TELL A LIE ?

Why must people go through
life living and telling a perpetual
lie ? Why not tell the truth p?
For instance: -
If your neighbor is lazy and his
wife earns the living and his
children are hungry and half
clothed, why not tell him so ?
If you think public officials are
inefficient and grating, and mis-
representing their constituents,
why not tell them so
If Mrs. SO and So ambles along
the street and exposes a yard or
so of her leg, why not stop ne.
and tell her so ?
If Miss Pertness has her face
smeared with powder, why wait
for the wind to blow it off Why.
not tell her she in a freak
If you have been making love to
your stenographer and your wife
suspects you, why lie about it
Why not tell the truth ?
If you want your friend to en-
dorse your note, and you know
you can never pay, why not tell
him so =?
If Miss Dimple looks like
scarecrow, and you want to mar
ry her for her money, why tell her
she is a sylph, and an angel, and
all of that rot What's the mat
ter with the truth -?
If you ere selling a spawned
old horse. and you know it will
fall to pieces before the purchaser
can lead it home, why not tell
him so
If you owe the grocer, and the
butcher, and the editor, and you
never expect to pay them, why not
tell them so when you place your
next order
If you drop nickel in the col
lection box, and you expect your
generosity to boost you into a
choice seat in Heaven why hide
your light under the cloak of mod
esty Why not get up and tell
the congregation so
What's the use in telling lie,
anyway
Isn't the truth good enough

Another Industry Looking
For Small Town Location
YALE HAS OPPORTUNITY OF OBTAINING THE
EX-CELL-O TOOL & MFG. COMPANY
NOW LOCATED AT DETROIT

Mr.. S. Howard Smith, OF De-
troit, son-in-law of post master
Farley, of Yale, and Mr.. n. A.
Woodwork, President and Gen
eral Manager of the Ex-Cello-O
Tool & Mfg. Co., Detroit, gave a
very interesting demonstration in
Eilber & Barth's Service Station
OF the Parker Grinding, Drilling
and Turning Machine.
This machine is one of their
products, and covers very wide
range of machine work. In fact,
it could be said that this machine
is a complete machine shop in it
self. One of these machines
could be used to advantage in
practically every garage, service
station and machine shop in the
country.
Another one of their products,
the Parker High Speed Grinding
spindle, was briefly explained.
IhIs product was developed in
the Ford Motor Company's plant
and is used extensively by them,
1t is now in use by number of
the largest manufacturing. con-
Germs in the country, and lis pro-
ducing results that are revolu-
lionary in this line.
The Ex-Cell-O Company, il
brought to Yale, would employ
approximately rs men to start.
The above company is looking
for q permanent home in a good
small town location near Detroit,
and the officers have chosen
Yale as the best town (of several
considered) provided satisfactory
arrangements can be made.
TO further investigate and de-
termine on these arrangements, a
citizens mass meeting has been
called to convene in the Council
Chambers this week Friday eve
ming at 500 o'clock sharp, at
which time and place every adult
citizens in Yale and vicinity inter-
ested in the advancement of Yale
is expected to be present. Ladies
invited. The machine will be on
exhibition at this meeting and a
competent demonstrator will eX-
plain its features.
Here is an opportunity to boost
our city in a substantial way.

NOT ENOUGH SUCKERS

A smooth, well-dressed young
man struck town on Tuesday
morning and at once began dem
onstrating to our business men a
little business directory, that as
an advertising medium, accord
ing to his tell, was a top-notcher.
The best part of the proposition
was that the business men were
not to be charged for ads on the
folder-all they were asked to do
was to sign up for some of them
at ten cents per copy. Quite easy,
eh p? Suppose the fellow had sold
one thousand This would only
have been a matter of hundred
dollars, and he would have had
to pay at least SIS to have them
printed. This would have left
him only $85 for his days work.
But from what we can learn he
didn't get much encouragement,
and drove on to greener fields.
If our merchants would only stop
and consider how much these lit
tie things cost, there would be no
trouble. We are ready and. will
ing to print anything wanted, and
can save you some money on your
work. Printing is our business,
ard it is no more than right that
you should give these travellers
the same consideration we do
those who try to sell us things in
your lines.
