Ed McCoy, a former sheriff of
Payne county was stricken with
paralysis at his home in Stillwa-
ter on Wednesday of last week.
The attack was not a sudden
dhock, but came on gradually
and by Thursday evening he was
unable to speak, although
thought to be conscious, and his
condition was most serious last
week, his death being reported
this morning, Monday.
Quay is preparing for Deco-
ration Day services, which this
writer hopes to be able to at-
tend. For about ten successive
occasions we urged that the
custom of observing this anni-
versary be established in our
home community, but gave it
up three years ago. We’re
hoping that in this time of na-
tional stress our people may
take time to render due honor
to all our country’s gallant
dead and to the few civil war
veterans who yet remain with
us.
Because of Rev. Dr Hale having
been for morel Hhan a half-cen-
tury a leader in our church and
his decades of service as chap-
lain of the world’s .greatest leg-
islative .body, the American Sen-
ate, the writer may be unduly
prejudiced in his favor. How-
ever. better qualified literary
critics than a country editor has
time or ability to become are
practically unanimous in rating
his “Man Without a Country’’
as the greatest of American clas-
sics and we are preparing to re-
publish it in The Yale Democrat.
Mrs. Earl Newton Entertains.
A delightful evening was spent
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Earl Newton, Wednesday, May
9, when eighty-three friends
and relatives assembled to cele-
brate the seventy-third birthday
of Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Newton’s
father. All brought well filled
baskets and a bountiful supper
was served. As a special honor
a beautiful birthday cake was
purchased t o do honor (jo the
occasion. After a very pleasant
social evening the guests de-
parted for their homes, wishing
Mr. Anderson many more birth-
days.

R. H. Tulloch visited in Paw-
nee Sunday.
Mayo Bellew. of Pawnee visit-
ed in a live town Sunday.
If you use blank receipts? We
have some (in books) at this of-
fice.
F. W- Hemme was here Mon-
day. which means another oil
well on his place.
Miss Jewel White, whose home
is at Altus, is a guest of her sis-
ter, Mrs. W. O. Croy.
C. F. Rogers is establishing an
auto line between Yale and Quay,
to make five trips daily each way,
making his first trip Tuesday
evening.
Hartshorne & Wedelin have
dissolved partnership in the
Dodge auto sales agency, W. S.
Hartshorne retiring and Wede-
lin continuing the business.
A party of young boys put in a
shot of dynamite on the hill in
the east part of town Friday
evening and fired it successfully.
Good enough for the first effort,
but a later effort may prove bad
enough.
The big Carry-Us-All for Roc-
co’s Exposition Shows arrived
Monday and was set up next
day on the show ground at the
north end. of Main Street This
addition adds greatly to the at-
tractiveness of an evening spent
on the ground.
“Uncle Con’’ Humphrey was
in from his Pawnee county farm
Monday, looking hale and hearty
after the manner of Missouri
democrats who have never fal-
tered into other grievous and
sinful ways. Advancing age
ever brings the reward of right
living.

The Kid Has Gone
To The Colors.
* jf
The Kid has gone jo the Colors
And we don’t kflibw what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him athild, a baby.
With never a cafe at all,
But his country called him man size
And the Kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting.
Wnere, fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glorv
And thought it whispered: “Come!”
The Kid, not bein^ a slacker.
Stood forth with patriot joy
To add his name to the roster—
And, God, we are proud of the boy.
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
It seems but a little while
Since he drilled a schoolboy army
In a truly martial.atyle,
But now he’s a man* a soldier.
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is a heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse of fear. *
His dad, when he told him, shuddered.
His mother—God Mess her!—cried:
Yet blest with a mother-nature,
She wept with mother-pride.
But he whose shoulders straightened
Was Grandad—-for memory ran
To years when he too. a youngster
Was changed by the Flag to a man!

Gospel Truth for Yale Merchant*
N. W. Humphrey, of Route 1,
was among Saturday’s callers
a nd advanced his Democrat sub-
scription to March 30, 1918. We
have, as yet. had no complaint
from Yale farmers because of
the $1.50 per year subscription
rate, by the way, and expect
none while farm products con-
tinue selling at two to several
times their former price.
“The Hub” store located on
the east side of Main street, two
doors south of Sixth, is adver-
ing men and boys clothing and
making right prices. Cushing
merchants are locating clothing
stocks at Quay and advertising
gents furnishings on both sides
of us, but we are expecting
The Hub to hold its share of the
business in Yale’s splendid trade
territory.
H. J. Horning of Olpe, Kan-
sas, was in town yesterday pros-
pecting for a location. Mr. Horn-
ing is apparently a live business
man who is very much enthused
over Yale and its prospects and
who expresses a wish to buy
property and make a permanent
location here.
Sam Reynolds quit his job for
Yale Drug Co. the last of the
week ar.d went to Oklahoma
City recruiting office to enlist.
