Expected for the Older Boys' Conference Friday and Saturday.
The fourth annual Washtenaw County Older Boys' Conference will be held
in Saline May 28 and 29 when it is expected that one hundred delegates will
be here for a discussion of the general-
topic of "Loyalty." Friday afternoon
will be taken up with the enrollment
and assignment to places for the night.
Friday evening a big banquet and program, including an address by Rev.
George Knepper, Ann Arbor, will be
held in the school hall.
Saturday morning a Get Acquainted
meeting, a devotional half hour and an
address by Prof. S. B. Baird, Ypsilanti,
followed by six minute papers on the
different phases of the subject of "Loyalty" by boys from different parts of
the county will be held in the school
hall.
For Saturday afternoon the athletic
committee has arranged for a big track
meet and tennis tournament
All men and boys over 14 years of
age are cordially invited and urged to
attend.
It is very necessary that the boys
have the support of the older people of
this undertaking, as there will probably
be. at least 75 delegates who will have
to be furnished accommodations for the
night and breakfast Saturday morning.
This is a rare opportunity for the boys
of the community and certainly deserves the support and encouragement
of all Christian people. Let us all
boost for our boys.

About 100 bankers from Jackson,
Lenawee county, Monroe, Hillsdale
and all places in Washtenaw county,
comprising the Ninth group of the
Michigan Bankers' association are in
session at Ann Arbor today.
From some unknown source we have
come into possession of a real antique
which we intend to reprint in full in
an early issue. It was sent us for the
"Do You Remember" section and will
revive pleasant memories for many of
the older people.
Through the efforts of the business
men at Milford the Auto Dash factory
which was destroyed by fire in that
village recently will be rebuilt. The
citizens contributed $5,000 or its equivalent, which sum will replace the
burned buildings.
One good thing attracts another.
Ypsilanti, unless present plans go
awry, will have a home for dependent
members of the Degree of Honor
lodges of the state. Such institutions
usually mean a large investment in
beautiful buildings and well-kept
premises.
When you want any article of merchandise, buy it of a reputable home
dealer, that the profit may remain to
enrich the community. Send your
money abroad only for what yon cannot
purchase at home. Home talent, home
labor, horhe industry, home capital and
home pleasures are things to be fostered, encouraged and patronized if you
want Saline to prosper.
Last week we reprinted a local from
the Clinton paper concerning five people of that village who have attained a
rernarkahh1 age, eolke'ively, but Sals up can present a group for consideration which puts our neighbors on the
| back seat for some time to come. We
have in mind Mr--. M. L. Forbes, 92;
Mrs. S. Gris-wold. 92; Mrs. Sarah
Drake. 90; Mr<. P"v>e'<i* Robi-:son, 89,
and Kdmuud *>V. Iliu'.t, 87.

Euv.n-.l Fv-'iudirf. of Hudson, member

Chelsea, at one time a member of the
same board, took up the bet. Martin
Wackenhut, of Chelsea, produced $40
more and Mr. Frensdorf's certified
check for $5,000 was placed against the

The illustrated lecture on Home
Missions in Michigan gave a clear,
concise and convincing view of the
present opportunities aud responsibilities pressing upon the christians of
this great state. Are we doing our utmost to meet this call of God?
Sir Oliver Lodge, the noted scientist,
speaking 6f the war in Europe says:
"I want to take the christian attitude.
A main doctrine of Christianity is
that the weak can overcome the strong.
This war is a revolt against CSristian-
ity. It is the deification of force and
materialism. The result will be more
and more to carry the world back to
Christ, the greatest revelation of God
we have had on this earth."

"When my daughter had whooping
cough she coughed so hard at one time
that she had hemorrhage of the lungs.
I was terribly alarmei about her condition. Seeing Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy so highly recommended, I got
her a bottle and it relieved the cough, at
once. Before she had finished two bottles of this remedy she -was entirely
well,", writes Mrs. S. F. Grimes, Crooks-
