Benjamin Franklin once said? "Save, young
man, and become respectable and respected."
There is no better mark of distinction than—
A Savings Account.
It implies thrift and prosperity and inspires
confidence and independence.
The man or woman,, who has a savings account is in a better position to grasp opportunities
than those who spend as they go.

BOYS' CORN   CONTEST
Seventy-Ninth Convention of the Washtenaw Baptist Association.
The seventy-ninth annual meeting
and anniversary of the Washtenaw
Baptist Association was held with the
Baptist society here on Wednesday and
Thursday of last week, and it was a
most interesting and instructive meeting throughout. The program was
carefully prepared, with good speakers
for each and every session. The attendance was large, more than ninety
delegates answering to roll call.
Afterthe opening session Wednesday
morning (a devotional service) came
the reading of the association letters.
These proved much more interesting
to the society than usual, showing as
they did a gratifying activity and prosperous condition in virtually all the
churches of the association, not alone
in finances but in spirituality and
growth as well.
The annual sermon, by Bev. H. W.
Mack, text, John 4:32-38, "Some Laws
of Spiritual Growth," was an able one
in which the speaker clearly showed
such law to be refreshing to both soul
and body; its influence and activity
links together workers in unity, and
spiritual work has its reward for every
one interested in it.
After the dinner hour Bev. M. H.
Pettit led a short devotional service
which was followed by reports from the
Home and Foreign Mission societies,
at J which time Miss Julia A. Davis,
associate superintendent of state missions, gave an intensely interesting
hour in describing the work and telling
of its success, recommending strongly
the importance and power obtained
from personal work—to push the work
with every member. Other speakers
gave short, helpful talks.
The election of officers resulted as
follows:
Moderator—Bev. H. Pettit, Ypsilanti.
Secretary-treasurer—Bev. N. K. Fetter, Ann Arbor.
Assistant—Miss Nora Garnett, Ann
Arbor.
Sunday School Superintendent—
Bev. G. Woolcock, Milan.
Member State Board of Managers—
Bev. H. W. Mack, Saline.
B. Y. P. TJ. President-A. J. Warren, Saline.
Bev. Bachelor of Ann Arbor gave an
extended talk on the new by-laws
framed by the state convention. This
was followed by an address by Bev. E.
M. Lake of Detroit on "Unified Missions and the Central .Collecting
Agency." This is the one hundredth
anniversary of the American Baptist
Foreign Mission society.
It was the aim of the speaker to show
it to be the duty of the Christian not to
center his or her efforts on home or
foreign missions, but to work for missions. He emphasized the great work
in China and its wonderful accomplishments, being a Christian nation since
April 27, and brought out many other
good thoughts which space will not
permit of mentioning.
The evening session was opened by
a song service led by P. H. Bouse, after which' G. A. Young, Y. M. C. A.
secretary of Ann Arbor, gave the address of the evening. He dwelt largely
on boys' work and social service, censuring parents somewhat for using the
hard-earned money of the boys for
their personal benefit. He strongly
advocated the promotion of boys' work
where the boy can have a responsibility of his own, a something to work
for; something in which he may feel
an interest. The speaker pointed out
Omaha and Bochester as the two moral
cities of Amferica,both being free of immoral resorts. Three young men from
the Guild at Ann Arbor, one of them
being a native of the East Congo, gave
short addresses, closing the session.
THURSDAY MOHNI2TG
After a devotional service led by Bev.
J. T. Young of Temperance some little
time was taken up in miscellaneous
work. Bev. George Wooleock of Milan
spoke on "Winning the Boys Into the
Sunday School," preferring their earnestness and a sincere interest rather
than large numbers.
Mr. Magnus Burgess, S. S. and B.
Y. P. TJ. Director of Detroit, conducted
a round-table talk, explained the plan
of "Sunday School Equipment and
Finance" as it is being used in many
of the schools; also" of making the
Sunday school rooms cheerful, light
and airy, and other objects to make
the children feel more at home and not
so much as though in a '^stright jacket," so to speak; advocated more bibles
for the Sunday schools and more illustrated lessons, as they are worth many
times their costin school advancement.
The afternoon session was opened by
a short address by Bev. Pettit, who
spoke on "Evangelism," followed by J
Many Have Entered and More Are
Expected.
Seventy-eight contestants have entered the corn contest which will he conducted by the Pomona Grange and
County School Commissioner Essery
this summer. Others are expected to
enter before June and there is every
reason to believe the contest will be the
most successful ever held.
"I am glad to talk to boys who are
50 bushels better than a man." This
was the striking sentence with which
the president of the Board of Trade at
Harrisburg, Pa., began his address to
the Buckeye Corn Boys en route to
Washington in December, 1912.
The average corn yield for men in
Ohio is 35 bushels per acre. The Cqrn
Boys last year averaged 85 bushels.
'Twas a famous victory. It indicates
possibilities. It discloses the need of
intensive farming. The resources of an
acre of dirt are yet to be determined.
The Corn Boys' contest pays in many
ways.
It Took Some Time.
Not for three months had any of his
friends so much as caught a glimpse of
him. In his usual haunts he had been
conspicuous for his absence. At the
club they knew him only as a memory. Finally one day he drifted into
the lounging room, a tired look on his
face, thin, with the appearance of a.
man who has heen through a long and
wearing siege.
His appearance was greeted with a
cheer.
"Where in the world have you been
all this time?" chorused his pals.
"Only at home," came   the   reply.
"You see I made up my mind that for
nee I would let my wife have the
ast word.    She had it just half an
Qour ago!"
IjjIfcWIlMvW^AL.M^HIWH.l in w^ujum^wMiiHMWBi^,
Bev. F. B. Bachelor of Ann Arbor,
who spoke on "Church Federation."
Mr. Bachelor strongly recommends
federation of churches in places where
conditions will not warrant several denominations existing successfully,
this to be decided by a federate board
in the state.
The remainnder of the afternoon was
given to the Young Peoples' work.
Bev. ST. K. Fetter, director of the Guild
at Ann Arbor, gave the address, "Conservation of the Church's Besources."
The speaker criticised the view of many
who condemn factories, and consider
factory employes wayward and immoral, disregardful of the Sabbath, and
many other things, urging rather that
the aim should be to Christianize and
help such people to see their wrongs
and build them up. The young people
of today are the church of tomorrow
and should be so trained.

churches in the county were: **■

MOST American railroads demand
that wttcaes of the grade admitted to their service must not vary
over 20 seconds per week.
«£*> The
"The Railroad Timekeeper of America"
surpasses this requirement so consistently that it is immensely popular.
There are more Hamilton Watches
in use on such roads than all -other
makes put together.
The business or professional man who
starts out to buy a watch of unusual accuracy will be interested in the beautiful
Hamilton 12-size thin model. Come in
and look at some of the Hamilton Watches
we can show you.
