YOUR VALUABLE PAPERS
You probably have valuable papers,
such as policies, stocks, bonds, deeds or
other papers,, that you want to feel sure,
axe safe from loss, by fire or theft.
These should not be left around the
house or office, but placed where they are
perfectly safe, and where you can put your
hand on them, when wanted.
We» have special facilities for taking* care
•of these for you at a nominal expense.

Presbyterian Church News
Rev. W. H. Hoffman, Pastor.
Next Sabbath morning the subject

has been brought into the world
war."
Evening subject: "Thomas' absence
when Jesus came and his convincing
testimony to his Lord's resurrection."
Prayer meeting Thursday evening;
subject, "Historic Evidence of the
Resurrection."
Easter morning the choir- rendered
an "exceptionally fine program and a
large and appreciative audience was
present to enjoy it.
The cantata rendered by the young
people of the St. Paul's church Sun-
day^evening was a good interpretation of the events in the last week
of Christ's life and a very appropriate
and fitting climax to the holy joys of
Easter.
It was a pleasure to see so many
young people present last Sabbath
morniilg.
Much interest is shown in the opening exercises of the Sabbath school.
We wonder what will be next, so
come and see.
The pastor was in Cetro;t Monday
to hear a prominent Preshyterian
minister speak before the Y. M. C. A.
The Ladies' Aid at Miss Bertha
oehaii.er's presented a very unique
program consisting of heirlooms and
keepsakes, novel and antique articles,
ifime would fail us to mention the
many exhibits in detail. Suffice to
say the old saddle bags were there
that in the thirties carried the mail
from Ann Arbor to Saline. Now with
our rural free delivery going in every
direction, Saline is wonderfully on
the map. Another source of amusement was the Uttle coat worn once
upon a time by one of our prominent
citizens, the little pockets in the tail
of the coat showed that boys will be
boys and want to be big just like
father. The German Bible published
in 1621 that has come down the generations of the Schairer family was
a valuable historic relic, an abiding
testimony that the- immigration into
this new country carried with it the
Word of God and built their sturdy
characters upon its teachings. It
was their only book in many instances and the guiding star of testimony. Through all the annals of
history the Bible where people have
given it an opportunity has blazed a
shining pathway.

giving primarily orchestral numbers
and using the violin, piano, cello and
flute, and varying their program with
vocal selections, pianologues, reading and costume numbers. This company will be under thi direction of
Mrs. Wilbur Starr, who for years has
been a popular artist on the chautauqua and lyceuni platform.
Robert Parker Miles,, the reporter,
author, traveler and dramatic lecturer, will give his wonderfully eloquent and r.emarkalby picturesque
production, "Tallow Dips," at night.
In this lecture, Mr. 'Miles portrays
upon the platform with striking vividness, many celebrites with whom
he has come in contact during his
varied and*, romantic career.
SECOND DAY
Hann's Jubilee Singers, composed
of seven people and one of the finest
companies of colored talent ever organized, will give the prelude in the
afternoon and the full program at
night. Every member of this company has had a college education as
well as a fine musical training and
they will sing music of all grades,
from grand opera to the wonderful
melodies of the South and the harmonious old plantation songs. Chautauqua audiences for several seasons
have gone wild with enthusiasm over
the program of this company.
Andre Tridon, who has just returned from stricken. Mexico, where he
went as a special correspondent for
The Independent, will lecture in the
afternoon. Mr. Tridon is a graduate
of the Universities of Paris and Heidelberg and of New Ydrk University,
He has traveled ex:e.*.si\ely in Europe, North Af.iea and Mexico and
has been a leading contributor to
many American periodicals. His
lecture on Mexico which he will give
this summer is, the most complete,
convincing and up to date statement
of the conditions in that country that
is being presented to the American
people." He is now making a lecture
tour of the large cities of the East
and is receiving an ovation wherever
he appears. Mr. Tridon appeared
over our New England circuit last
year with great success.
THIRD DAY
Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Winters, entertainers of quality, will give preludes both in the afternoon and evening. They are original, versatile and
talented. Mr. Winters' program consists of readings, including both the
ridiculous and serious, character
sketches in costume and piano monologues in great variety, while Mrs.
Winters gives her famous bird songs
and whistling solos.
In the afternoon J. Franklin Cav-
eny, crayon lecturer, cartoonist and
clay modeler, wil appear. Mr. Cav-
eny is not only popular as an entertainer, but is also a well known artist. He is very clever and his crayon
sketches are revelations of beauty
and caricature. He' works with rapidity, deftness and skill as before
his audiences he changes dead paper
and dull canvas to glowing pictures.
Albert Edward Wiggam will lecture
at night on the subject of "Heredity
and Human Progress." Mr. Wiggam
is one of the foremost scientific lecturers on the American platform today. He combines the ability to
please the popular audience with a
thorough scientific knowledge of his
subject. He is one of the men who
has helped make the-, lyceum great
and one of the highest salaried men
among the professional lyceum lecturers.
FOURTH DAY
Francesco Pallaria and His Band
will give a grand concert, afternoon
and evening. Senor Pallaria has for
the past two years directed bands on
two of the most expensive seven day
chautauqua circuits in the country
and has been universally praised.
As a director, he is dynamic, dramatic and spectacular and one of his
famous numbers is the descriptive
phantasia entitled, -"The Cavalry
Charge," by Luders.
Pallaria was born in Italy in an
atmosphere of music and after attending the Milan Conservatory and
playing for some time in a Neapolitan
band, he became a director of his own
organization. Then he came to Amer
ica and for four years led. the band
on the Battleship Kansas in the U. S.
Navy. A number of Pallaria's own
compositions will be played in his
concerts. As a special feature of the
band's program, a popular soprano
soloist has been added.
FIFTH DAY
The afternoon prelude and the full
evening program will be given by the
Handel Choir, led by Mme. Wagner
Shank. They will appear during the
first part of the program wearing
choral vestments and will render
masterpieces of sacred music. The
second part of their program is made
up of humorous and entertaining
■sketches in which they combine both
vocal and instrumental work. One
particular novelty will be Harry
Lauder impersonations by John Mc-
Dermott.
Their program at night will include portions of popular operas in
costume and an original sketch entitled, "In the Days of 1S64," in both
of which striking and appropriate
costumes will be worn. Mme. Shank,
the organizer and leader of this company, has a wide reputation both as a
singer and as a producer.- At one
time she was a member of Henry W.
Savage's operatic forces.
Wallace Bruce Amsbary, author,
roet, interpreter of dramatic literature, will give a lecture recital in
the afternoon on James Whitcomb
Riley, whom he designates as "The
Poet Sage of Lockerbie Street." This
Tecture contains .entertaining personal reminiscences, together with an
"nterpretation of Riley's "Simole
Songs of Every Day," filled with the
elusive charm of rural life. No m-in
before the public today can depict
more accurately or sympathetically,
r.he gentle simplicity and whimsical
-hilosophy of America's "favorite poet
than can Mr. Amsbary.
In addition to the above program a
special feature of the chautauqua
this year will be the Junior Chautauqua for the boys and girls.
