Editor Ferry P. Powers of the Cadillac News, who recently returned* from
an extended western trip, stepped into
a Los Angeles real estate office to inquire the cost of poultry lands in California, and found that $1,600 was the
lowest priced land offered. He says:
"This land was carrying overhead
charges that have heen,in process of
accumulation since Columbus discovered this continent. Any of the land in
northern Michigan is better adapted to
poultry raising than the 81,600 per acre
land within a few miles of Los Angeles."—Mancelona Herald.
A new side porch has been built to
John Schleh's residence on Ann Arbor street.
William LeFurge, a prominent farmer of Superior township, lies in a critical condition at his home as the result
of being attacked by a vicious bull.
Mr. LeFurge was saved from instant
death only by the timely breaking of
the boards in the s de of the barn. The
animal charged upon him, pinning him
against the barn, but the force of the
impact broke the boards and sent Mr.
LeFurge safely inside.—Ann Arbor

Summer Chautauqua Was Largely Attended and Thoroughly Enjoyed.
Saline's chautauqua tor the season
of 1915 closed Sunday with two excellent'entertainments by the Stratford
Opera company and addresses by the
community expert, Mr. Eastman.
All during the five days of lectures
and musical programs the attendance
was very large, considering the weather conditions. Rain, wind,and lfght-
ning at times vied with the talent in
ho ding the attention of the people,
but thanks to the short duration of
most of the storms the people managed
to come-and go between showers, and
programs were given without serious
interruption.
While the talent has passed on, they
left behind imperishable truths couched in clear and strong statements, in
beautiful melody and song, in choice
wit and fun. Whatever of doubt existed as to the permanency of the chautauqua in Saline has been dissipated
by the manner in which next season's
guarantee of 500 tickets was subscribed
Saturday and Sunday.
The season of 1914 was a disastrous
one, financially, but was cheerfully
made good by 28 loyal boosters; 1915
was better patronized in every way
and the deficit was not more thau half
so large—paid by 15 of our business
men and citizens. Inasmuch as the
full quota of tickets for next year have
been pledged by responsible people
and societies, the outlook for the future is very good.
The following are behind the affair
for 1916. Just how sincerely the majority of our men of affairs are interested in the chautauqua may be judged
by the statement that nine of the signers for next year have been on the
guarantee list for the three years and
seven of the others for two years:
H. W. Rentschler.
Charles Cool.
George "V. Cook.

The Central Chautauqua System
congratulates the village ot Saline
upon its progressive spirit, and thanks
the committee and patrons of the chautauqua for their kind treatment and
their enthusiastic appreciation of our
efforts this year. The talent liked their
reception, which means that Saline
will be talked of all through the rest
of our towns.
Allen E. Denton, Supt.
Boys to Camp.
Camp Birkett, at Big Silver lake,
which was postponed on account of
the inclemency of the weather, will
start next Thursday. This is the
fourth season the camp has been conducted and promises to be one of the
best.
The Saline delegation, however, has
fallen somewhat in members. Leon
Schill and Calvin Alber alone have the
honor of representing this village and
of defending the standards set up by
their predecessors in previous years.
Bernard Mason and Walter Cook will
be on the staff of leaders. The camp
will be run under a new regime this
year and several new features will be
added ior the enjoyment and profit of
the boys.
A special football section for high
school students will start September 1,
under the direction-of Coach Apple.
Walter Toller will attend this section.

When Henry T. Eddy owned the

Dear Mr. Wilson:
Find P. O. money for $1.00 whicb
please continue The Observer another
year.
I've often times wondered who has
taken The Observer longer than I.
I've taken it ever since it started; my
friend, George J. Xissly, was editor
some 85 or 36 years ago. Who among
your reade.'S can show the first copy?
We look for it each Saturday and never
fail to get it. But it's almost foreign
to me, for it's only now and then I see
a name of a person I used to know.
My old friend and school- and seat-
mate, A. J. Warren, is with you still.
Almost a new generation.
"Do You Remember" interests very
much, and often recalls eyents of
many, many years ago.
Wishing you success, I remain,
Very truly yours,
P. A. HAYNE3.

The close of the chautauqua season
in the popular subscription of tickets
for another year, gave a pleasing evidence of the development of the community spirit in Saline by the pledges
given by the secret societies, the Ladies' Aids and the Sabbath school
classes in the churches. The chautauqua courses will prove a lasting
benefit, if they succeed in bringing
the people of Saline into a closer fellowship and a more hearty co-operation in the welfare of the community.

There is a state law which says that
no one under 18 years of age can be allowed to drive an auto. While some
drivers of 15 or even 13 can possibly do
a lot better when it comes to squawking
a klaxon or steering to the other side of
a pedestrian than a much older person,
it is contrary to the law.
The Clerk Guaranteed It.
"A customer came into my store the
other day and said to one of my clerks,
'have you anything that will cure diarrhoea?' and my clerk went and got him a
"bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, and said to him,
'if this do'es not cure you, I will not
charge you a cent for it ' So he took
it home and came back in a'day or two
and said lie was cured," writes J- H.

NEW AUTO TAX LAW     ' ^0=51
Pamphlet Issued by Secretary of State
Explains Regulations. !
The secretary of state has compiled \
in pamphlet form the new motor vehicle law which takes effect in January. ■
The most important change is in the
method of taxation. Under the new
law all cars must be taxed as follows: i
Gasoline and steam cars, 25 cents aj
horsepower and 25 cents a hundred I
weight. j
Electric cars, $1.00 a horsepower and i
25 cents a hundred weight. j
Gasoline and steam power trucks, 15 j
cents a horsepower andvlo cents a nun- j
dred weight. |
Electric trucks, 50 cents a horsepow-i
er and 23 cents a hundred weight. J
Motorcycles, 25 cents a horsepower 1
and 25 cents a hundred weight. :
The weight is to be the weight, given
by tire manufacturers with the car fully
equipped.
The cost of the transfers will remain
as in the old law, %\. The charge for
duplicate remains $1.
The provision with reference to
chauffeurs remains the same. Chauffeurs must be IS years of age and wear
badges furnished' by the secretary of
state conspicuously.
Under the present law, rates are reduced August 1. Hereafter they will
not be reduced until September 1.
The provision with regard to non-
resideuts grant them a period for at
least 90 days upon a license of another
state or province if the state or province
from whence they come extend the
same privilege.
An automobile may be equipped with
a single light in front, or two if desired,
but the electric lights in front must be
equipped with dimmers. It will be
the duty of the driver of a car so equipped to dim his light when approaching another vehicle.
Stung in a New Place.
A man and a woman dropped into a
small town and put up at the best hotel. The next morning they secured a
rig each, and started over the country
asking the farmer folks for a chicken
for an orphan's home in St. Louis.
After two days begging they sold the
chickens to a local produce man for
$30 and left town. Their loot included
several cash donations.
A variation of the scheme is for a
man, wearing some sort of badge, to
call on the farmers under the name of
the Department of Health and demand
to see his poultry. After examination
he condemns twenty or thirty hens
and tells the farmer they will have to
be -killed because they .-are diseased.
He. very kindly offers to take the
chickens and do the killing himself.
If the farmer consents, the man takes
the chickens to the nearest commission
merchant and sells them. The scheme
is being worked all over the country.
If a man or woman calls on you with
a demand that looks suspicious, call
up your local authorities and ask by
what right they are asking to inspect
your stock or poultry. When you get
the answer, turn them over to the
police.
