IN time of death, the bank account proves itself the BEST KIND of
insurance. You can get your money IMMEDIATELY and without
question. During life the bank account proves EQUALLY VAL-
,g, UABLE, provided it is kept at a figure that really insures, and it pays
BETTER INTEEEST. Get your cash in the bank. Leave it there. You
can't heat that kind of insurance. This requires DETERMINATION
and sometimes SELF SACRIFICE. But it pays. A bank account WITH
US is your BEST POLICY.

j At Whitney Theatre, Ana Arbor, Saturday, October 3.*
A play that is recognized as among
the most beautiful, interesting and
artistic of recent years is "The Prince
• Chap," written by the talented young
author, Edward Peple, author oi "The
Littlest Rebel," etc., and memorable
for its long run in New York City,
with Cyril Scott as the star. While
the piece was being played in New
York City, a well-known minister witnessed a performance. He took occasion afterward to say -from the pulpit
that a truer, greater or more ennobling
and uplifting sermon had never been
preached to mankind.
The story of "The Prince Chap" is
one of gentle laughter, sweetest sentiment and graceful romance, with a
big, broad current of heart interest
running underneath it all. It tells
the story of a young American, a
sculptor, .who is in love, and goes
abroad to make a name for himself
that he may return and claim, the girl
he loves as his wife. . In London he
employs a widow of refinement as a
model. She becomes seriously ill and
appeals to him to take her 8-year-old
baby girl to rear her as his own.' Although he protests at first, the mother's
helplessness appeals to him and he
accepts the responsibility of rearing
the little one to -womanhood.
In course of time; his fiance comes
to London aud learn of the child's
great devotion to the sculptor and his
to the baby. The fiance doubts him
and declares the only way he can convince her that the child is not really
his own is to give her up. This he
refuses to do, and the lovers break
"their engagement, she becoming" the
wife of another man.
. Next the "baby" is seen as woman
of eighteen years. It is through the
double incidents of the sculptor's seeing the propriety of having a housekeeper in the home and of an old
friend proposing to the girl and being
rejected, that the secret of the sculptor
and his ward comes out. His fiance
of other-days returns u widow--and
ready to, renew the old love affair.
But the sculptor realizes that a greater
love had come into his life, and the
play ends with the girl to whom be
has been a father, in his arms, his
promised wife.
"The Prince Chap" pays a visit to
Ann Arbor, appearing at the Whitney
theatre, Saturday, October 8, matinee
and night.

Farmers, owing to bog cholera in
the community, are getting rid of
their hogs before the disease gets into
their flocks. Henry Karcher alone
shipped something oyer 700 head last
week, not saying what the other buyers have shipped. The disease will
clear up the sale of hogs in these parts
for sometime as many were put on the
market before they were hardly ready
to go.—Britton Citizen.
Give the Farpi a Name.   "
Give the farm a name and keep'tie
farm up to the name. A name gives
distinction, it-is ah-expression of honest
pride, it shows an interest in the place:
It means a place that pne feels is in the
best sense the home pf himself and his
family. Sentiment .gathers around it
and chrystalizes so that at last the owner does not so rhuch/ask, "How much
can I getjfor my farm?" but, "Who is
going to succeed me J>n it?" And that
means a deepening.^jnd strengthening
of home ties and those of locality, .both
of which are greatlyjneeded in America
rural life. ■'."-■-.
But for practical reasons as ^well as
sentimental it is WiseSo bestow a name
upon the farm. No self-respecting man
would give a good name to his farm and
then keep the farm ih poor- condition.
The sense of pride-j^ould prompt any
man to do his level -best That would
mean better cultivation, house and barn
painted, fences in goojfeondition, better
stock and better cftjps, and more attractive appearance within and without
the dwelling. TherejfsCscarcely a farm,
however situated, thatsome appropriate
name may not be given-it. Landscape,
a spring, clump of trees, position, historic associations are$£mong the many ]
things that may suggest a name. And
always remember Hn%. that it is with
the farmer more tbaffanyone else, rests
the solution of the problem of arresting
the drift city-wards?;- An attractive
home, a home that hasta distinctiveness,
about i\ goes a long^way towards the
solution. r&~
Below is a list of Tfames that have
been used to designate farms in this
and other states. We will gladly publish, free of charge, the names of any
farm in this community. Pick a name
for yours and let us know of it.   _

Five Splendid  Numbers Engaged for
High School Lecture Course.        '
The printers are busy in getting out
tickets and prospectus for the High
School Lecture Course for the season *
of 1914 and 1915. j
As usual there will be five numbers
of splendid worth. The sale of season
tickets this year should be larger than
ever, to encourage the committee in
their work of providing something of
real merit in the line of entertainment
for the Jail and winter season.
When one can take in five good
numbers for $1.00 it-is a wonder the
opera nouse is not packed'to its capacity for 3very one of them. No better
or cheaper form of instruction and enjoyment has ever been devised and we
bespeak for the society the. best year
in its history. The following will be
the attractionst and dates for the
same:

The grade teachers agree that school
has opened with much interest shown
by all the pupils and a very good year
is promised.
In spite of the fact that forty-one
eighth grade diplomas were issued by
School Commissioner Essery in this
district, * only seventeen freshmen are
enrolled.
The Senior class of" this year is a
promising one. This can be shown
by their quantity as they proudly

be shown later, though their aim is to
be as good in quality as in quantity.
In the chapel Monday afternoon, the
