jWiH Saline 'and Vicinity Enjoy Con-
carts Mcs'c Year?   ■
That's the question that confronts
Salhie, on the band matter for another year, ami it is one every botiy
will hope m:iy be settled in the aiflrni-
aliw.
At the banquet given the business
men by the band on a recent evening,
a fair amount was !-ubsei'ibed to help
defray expenses for the ensuing year.
But, it requires much more to place
them on a firm financial foundation,
and W. L. Nissly has "volunteered to
help raise the required amount. Inasmuch as a great many of our citizens thoroughly enjoy the concerts it
has been suggested that they might
wish to contribute toward the enterprise. The business men have been,
and will be, very generous, and if private citizens take a little interest in
the matter it can be speedily placed
beyond doubt. >.
If you would care to contribute your
mice the subscription list may be
found at Mr. Nissly's store at any
time. Don't crowd, but don't put it
off so long we cannot announce the
result in our next issue.

Fifty Years Plus One.
Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Fellows, of-2521
East Broadway, are celebrating their
fifty^jjrst wedding anniversary in a
quiet manner at their home today.
The union is said to have been a particularly happy one and the honeymoon
never waned. Forty-six years they
toiled together back in Michigan and
five ■ years ago, with their daughter,
Hattie, they sought the sunshine and
balmy airs of Southern California as
the ideal place for the declining years
of life. Mr. Fellows? is president of the
Long Beach Sunset club and his wife is
also a member of that organization.—

I DO YOU REMEMBER §
When Albert Buechenschuss lived
where now Mrs. Collum resides? I
When William Benedict built' the'
Fosdiek house on'Ann Arbor street'*
When Ben Roper (colored) kept a
barber shop in the building n r.v rccu-
pied by "Martin Gakle as a dwell;ng
house,\and which then stood where W.
Nissly transacts business? j
When John McAdams owned a little.;
one-story unpainted building standing j
on the site now occupied by Mrs.
Katherine Weiennett's home? It was
iu the rear of the little structure where,
during the night of Dan Rice's big
show here, twe large elephants loosed
themselves and, unobserved, found
their way. The kitchen door was open,
and two barrels of potatoes which stood
therein were soon devoured. Mrs.
McAdams, wilo happened to be alone,
heard the noise, hastened to the kitchen, and as she caught sight of the visitors she "thought her time had come."

Large Enrollment and Prospects Never

After several months vacation, Ann
Arbor's musical activities have   been
again resumed, and the omens are aus-   ^—1
picious  of an  exceptionally successful
year from every point of view.     The
University School of Music opened on '
September 28, and an enrollment far in '.
advance of any previous year has taken
place, students coming from practically
every state in the Union -to avail themselves of- the opportunity afforded by
Michigan's educational center.
On account of the inability of many
American students to study abroad on
account of the European war, the percentage of advanced students is. much
larger than formerly.
In former years, the faculty concerts
were held m the auditorium of the new
high school, but the popularity of these
concerts was so great that the seating
capacity was inadequate to •accomrrfo-
date those who desired to attend.
Hereafter these concerts will be given
in Hill auditorium, and will be made
complimentary, to the students of the
University of Michigan, the University
School of Music, and the public in gen\
eral. . ,
The next concert of this series will be
an organ recital by Mr. Earl V. Moore,
head of the organ department of the
University School of Music, on Thursday afternoon, October 15.
This year for the first time, women
students of the University School of
Music have been permitted to avail
themselves of the use of the University
women's gymnasium, and a large number of students have taken advantage
of this opportunity.
The University Symphony orchestra
is being organized, and the wealth of
material and the variety of instruments
available indicate that Conductor Lock-
wood will be able to produce an orchestra which will maintain ±he high standards set in the past.
The following concerts have been
scheduled for''the year on the complimentary series given in Hill auditorium
at 4:00 o'clock:
October 15, 1914—Organ Recital.
November 5,1914—Faculty Concert.
November 19, 1914—Organ Recital.   .
December 3,1914—Faculty Concert.

The need of more and better rural j

by conditions revealed in a recent census report, showing the percentage of
illiterates   among   the  native  white
farming class of this state. The figures
show that the percentage of illiteracy
in the rural districts of Michigan is
as much as that of -the cities and village's of the state.. Michigan has 74,-:
