effect on regular church attendance in
many parts of the country after its introduction, and it is hoped by those
bac;k of the project that- it wilPlneet
wrjjh; like encouragement here.
Special services will be given as well
as special music provided, "and an effort jriade to..induce every member of
this* "community to attend service at
some one oi the churches on this day,
even if you haven't been inside a
ehutch for years. 'Let every one arrange to go.
The majority of non-church goers,
if denied the1 privilege of attending,
would put up a good strong fight to
getin some place. In pioneer days it.

Mass Meeting Called for Sunday Afternoon at the Presbyterian Church.
Amass meeting will be held in the
Presbyterian church on Sunday afternoon, under the auspices of the Civic
League.
Mr. R. E. Bassett, a graduate'of the
forestry department of the U. of M.,
will give the piancipal address, and
will take up* the subject of "City Beautifying." Mr. Bassett is in charge of
such work for the city of Ann Arbor,
and will have much of interest to say
to all who will make it a point to be
present. An invitation has been extended to the Woman's Club to attend
in a body, as the League is taking .up
work which fits in very well with like
endeavors on the part of the Club.
A special musical program will be
one of the features Sunday afternoon,
and it is hoped all of our citizenship
who can will attend. Mr. Bassett's
lecture will be illustrated by many
beautiful stereopticon views and altogether it is going to be an event worth
while for all.
Farmers' Club Meeting.
The Saline Farmers' cljb held its,
March meeting at the home oi Mr/
and Mrs. C. F. Hildner. The meeting was called to order by the president and was opened with music by
Miss Helen Finch. The members responded to roll call by giving current
events. After the regular business
session, John Lutz read a paper on
"The Culture of Alfalfa." A song by
Mr. Hildner closed the morning session and the club adjourned for dinner. The afternoon meeting opened
with music, followed by a very'interesting paper on "The Value of Time"
by Mrs. Ralph Hammond. A beautiful recitation by Carol Hildner was
enjoyed by all. This was followed by
a question box, after which the club
adjourned to meet with Mr. and Mrs.
Ralph Hammond, April 11.
TWO MORE GAMES
Wind  Up the Season for the Indoor
Base Ball League—Perhaps.
The Champions annexed one from
the Hounds on Thursday evening of
last week by a score of 4 to 3, making
their percentage to date an even 500.
On Monday evening the All Stars i
dropped another, from force of habit,:
to the Hounds, the latter securing five ;
riins to one for the former. -       !
But two more games remain to be .
played—perhaps.   Tonight the Would ;
Be Stars and Champions hook   up, i
and if the former win they will be in",
possession of the pennant.     If they
lose, and the Champions win in their
last game, which will be played'with
the  All Stars   on   Monday   evening,
there will be a three-cornered tie for :
the coveted flag.
It has been a great race for the three j
leading teams, the All Stars having j
been handicapped all along  in  tha j
catching department, not having been
able to develop a. receiver who could
hang on to third strikes.    Much fun
has been enjoyed by -the participants
as well as spectators, and it is io be
hoped the league "will be an annual
feature of our village life.
^  A financial statement of the league '
will be published at. an early date,
that all' who have contributed to the
sport may know where their money
has gone and how much remains in
the treasury.

Alumni Entertainment.
Those who attended the alumni entertainment Friday evening had a rare
treat.
Miss Nichols is an elocutionist of
no ordinary ability, who wins and
holds her audience by her unaffected
and gracious manner. Her work in
"Cherry Blossoms" was especially
fine.
Miss, Bising is a skilled pianist and
also a charming "whistler." Her
bird-like notes charmed her audience.
The solos by Miss Giilen and Mr.
Henne were better than ever.
The duet given by- Messrs. Henne
and Fairbank was highly appreciated,
and the fine work done by the orchestra was above criticism.

among women., Fear not, Mary, for
thou hast found favor with God."
