MEMORIAL DAY  OBSERVANCES
Services at Presbyterian Church Sunday Evening Reverently Enjoyed—Program of Exercises Which WiU
Be Held on "Saturday.
Are we, as the American Nation, in
danger of forgetting to fittingly honor
the brave men who offered their lives
that the United .States might remain
a united country? ■ Some contend-that
Young America is not doing it's duty
in perpetuating this* saced memory,
and that when the Grand Army of the
Republic has answered to the call, and
can no longer be present to direct in
the exercises of the Memorial time,
the honoring ofthe veterans will be a
thingof the past.
" However, we wish that we- could
have taken the people voicing such
sentiments with ub to the Presbyterian
church Sunday evening, to hear the
beautiful-service witb which this Memorial occasion wbs observed. A
large and attentive audience proved
by its close following of the service,
that instead of a waning in the interest which this occasion calls for, a
larger interest, a more sacred attention, are more apparent now than ever before.
The first part of the service was taken up largely by a musical program,
given by the choir under the direction
of Mrs. Henne, and assisted by tbe
Saline orchestra, Stirring anthems,
instrumental selections, solos and
national hymns made up a musical
program of which many a larger
church might justly have been proud.
The work of the choir in the anthem,
"J-prd God, We Worship Thee," was
especially good, the attacts being
made with force and precision.
This being a union service, Key.
Hoffman was assisted by Hey. Mack
of the Baptist church and Bev. West
of the Methodist church.
Kev. Hoffman chose for his text the
eighth chapter of- Deuteronomy, the
seventh verse, "For the Lord, thy God
bringeth thee into a godly land."
His address was strong and full of
good thoughts, pointing out the wisdom of God in all His acts and purposes.   He said in part:
"Wars are the birth throes of civilization  America has had her national birth-throes. Every war in
this country has had it's own significance. They "were necessary for after
development and progress." He then
sketched ^briefly the cause of the
great American wars and the principles involved, and reviewed the. causes and Tesults of the Civil war, the
great results being the settling, for
all time of the fact that the United
States is a Nation, and that no state
has the right to secede from the Union or nullify the ats of Congress,
and the abolition of slavery. In conclusion, he said, "I,t is your privilege,
Veterans of the Civil War, to witness
the coming_ of peace, ** all sectional
lines and ' animosities * obliterated.
Great battlefields have become the
scenes of brotherhood reunions, and
.out of this stuggle and strife has come
a new birth of American Citizenship,
which proclaims iri every section of
our land that we are American Citizens.. It becomes us on this occasion
to gratefully^ acknowledge God's sovereign pur-p.ose in the salvation and
preservation., ol thi^ nation. There
were times during those long and trying^ four -years;;-1 ivhen_ events hti^g
tremblingly in the balance. Iluman
ingenuity was- futile,'sagacy>,v\s geq.
erals' had planned their last battle ana*,
in expectation watched the striiggie.
of contending armies, while devp.gt
hearts all over our land appealed, to,
God. It*was the God ojE our' Fathers *
who decided the tide of battle, and
decreed that America should rise to
higher and broader ideals, the onward march of civilization... God.!8

power directed Dewey in the East,
and His restraining hand is with
President Wilson "in Mexico,' and the
nations of the world are slowly learning that this is not a "nation of conquest, but of peace and good-will to
all people, exhausting the powers of
arbitration before appealing to arms."
After the benediction had been pronounced, the audience remained
standing while the memers of the G.
A. R. filed out to the strains of "Dixieland" and "Mi.higan, My Michigan," played hy the orchestra.
Are we neglecting the Memorial
service to the heroes of the civil war?
We say emphatically, no! **

YPSI LOSES TO SALINE
Opening Local Game of League Season
Comes Our Way.
A husky bunch df ball players-, representing Ypsilanti in the county
league, came over last Thursday and
engaged in nine -founds with Karl's
Sluggers. It was a good game from
start to finish, the locals, winning by
a score of 6 to 4. _ '
Ypsilanti started their first inning
by slugging the ball hard and for a
few minutes things looked rather dubious for the locals. Fast fielding
prevented a deluge of runs and the
best Ypsilanti could do in that* frame
was to garner a single tally. Saline
batted well and consistently all
through the nine innings, but in only
one frame were they able to bunch
hits sufficient to score, piling up six
at that time, enough to win with two
to spare.
Bernard and Karl Boettger served
as Saline's battery, acquitting themselves mighty well. Their support
was excellent, taking into consideration the roughness of the playing
.field, and we see no reason why the
locals should not be up with the best
of them all during the season.

Health a Factor to Success.
The largest factor contributing to a
man's success is undoubtedly health. It
has been observed that a nian is seldom
sick when his bowels are regular—he is
never well when they" are constipated.
For constipation you will find' nothing
quite so good as Chamberlain's Tablets.
They not only move the bowels but improve the appetite and strengthen the
digestion. They are sold by All Dealers.
