SALINE, WASHTENAW CO., MICE?., THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1913;
NUMBER 18
-EXTEND ELECTRIC LINE
Interested Reader Beliefs It Would Be
To Saline's Advantage.
The citizens of Saline have secured
waterworks, which Certainly is a good
thing. Now, why not let the good
work go on, and get the electric line
extended? If Ihe matter could be
brought before the village council or
the business men's organization, and
in some way get- the expression of the
citizens and the farmers along the
proposed right-of-way, there would be
no difficulty in getting capital to promote it.
Just sec what has been done in the
past year along this line throughout
the state, and I venture to say that not
one of the towns, nor the farmers
along the way who realize the advantages and conveniences of an electric
road would wish to have it removed.
It would bring more business into our
little town, make it seem more wideawake and up-to-date. It wouid bring
more pupils into our schools; more
patrons to our show-house, and would
increase the congregation of our beautiful little churches. If the road was
extended to Adrian, then we would
have direct connection with Toledo,
and with the "local" and "limited"
running every hour or oftener through
our beautiful little village (and, by
the way, nature has done much for
Saline) would enable one/to get somewhere and back the same day.
It certainly enhances the value of
farm property, and would be the
means ot bringing factories and manufacturing plants into our midst. An
electric road would prove a great benefit to our village in more ways than
one. Why not agitate? Why not
boost, and eventually boom Saline.?
Ax Interested Subscriber
Will Test Eyes.
It is expected that the eyes of every
school child in the state will be tested
before spring. Supt. of Public Instruction Luther L. Wright has had
furnished to every teacher in the commonwealth a proper eye-testing card
with explicit instruction a"s to how to
make tests of children. In other
states the percentage of" children having defective eyesight has proved appalling. The tests in Michigan are
given with a view of helping the child.
Often a child is considered dully but
this is sometimes due to the fact that
the hearing or eyesight is defective
and the teacher does-not recognize the
handicap." Sometimes by moving a
child's seat nearer a window relieves a
decided strain. It is expected that in
quite a number of cases the condition
of eyesight will be found so bad as to
warrant the services of an optician.
The teacher will then take the matter
up with the parent, in this way making it possible ior the child to become
a better student. Those children
whose eyesight is so defective that
school work is impossible must under
the compulsory school law be sent to
Lansing.
Probate Court; Notes.
Frederick Keese has been appointed
administrator of the estate of Frank
Keese.
• Petitions have been filed for the probating of the wills of Christina 2nern,

And Attend The Meeting In The Council Rooms Tomorrow Evening.
A meeting fraught with maeh interest to every live man in Saline is called for tomorrow evening, in the council rooms. *
It is hoped at this meeting to adopt
the by-laws of an organization which
in its work will tend to develop the
best interests of Saline along every
line, and it is hoped that every man
who can will attend. It is not the
purpose of the men behind the guns
to make of this an exclusive business
men's affair. It will be far reaching
In its effect. Suitable committees will
be elected so that the important work
in view may be divided atnong willing
workers who will see to it that every
phase of such an association may be
carried out to a successful fruition.
It may seem, at first glance, that to.
attempt too much might bring about
chaos instead of the desired ends, but
with the adoption of the plan as outlined no one member will be burdened
with niore than he can handle effectively, and in the' aggregate there is
little of importance that cannot be
handled well and expeditiously.
There is so much for a civic league
to do it behooves every man, no matter
what your position in life or financial
condition may be, to attend this meeting and assist in the formation as
much as possible.
Don't let the thought that possibly
a real estate man majr eventually
make a dollar out of this movement,-
or that the business man may reap
some benefit, keep you away, Be as
selfish as the next one and get into
the game. We cannot do anything to
help Bill Jones or any one else without the effect ultimately coming back
to us, so if for no other reason than a
selfish one no one can afford to stay
away. We're all here, or should be,
to make of Saline the best town possible—attractive to prospective residents, manufacturers and others, and
by concerted action this may all be
brought about by the investment of
just a little time and money.

Value of Bird Life to farmers,,
Every year the crops .of the United
States are damaged to the extent of
§2,250,000,000. Of this vast amount,
insects are responsible ior $1,250,000,-
000 loss, while the balance can be
traced directly to noxious weeds.
These startling figures were furnished by L. H. Harvey, Ph. D., head of
the biological department, Western
State Normal school.
The most interesting feature of this
waste is that it'can be traced directly
to the ruthless slaughter of birds of
America. Had these birds been allowed to live and thrive and multiply,
they would have consumed most of
the insects and weed seeds before they
got in their work of overthrowing the
labors of American farmers.
Dr. Harvey has for years been making a systematic study of bird life,
and says that this loss can be reduced
25 per cent, in 10 years by proper con^
serration of the birds of America.
"In Michigan alone birds save the
farmers from a loss of $37,000,000 annually," said Dr. Harvey. "It is
easy to arrive jit an accurate estimate
of these figures, and I have been very
conservative in preparing them. There
are approximately 87,000,000 acres of
land in this state, with an average of
one bird to the acre. Each bird is in
Michigan at least 100 days, and each
,. bird will consume one ounce of insects
%• a day, according to my calculations.
That is much too low, for it is a recognized fact that young birds eat from
one-half to their weight in insects
every '21 hours.     But taking the basis
