AVOID THESE TROUBLES
It makes a fellow mad, to pay a bill
twice. Nearly everyone has paid some
bill twice, because he could not prove he
had paid it the first time, having paid it in
currency.
There is a feeling of permanency and security, to the person who writes his check
for the payment of bills.
If you are not a customer of this bank,
and are not paying your bills by check, we
invite you to make this your banking
home.

Action To Recover $10,000 Damages
Started By Family of Miles
A. Stoddard.
A suit has heen started in circuit
court to recover damages amounting
to §10,000 from the Detroit, Jackson
& Chicago railway, because of the
mishap which caused "the death of
Miles A. Stoddard.
The action is begun hy Roy Stoddard, representing the estate of the
dead man, through Attorneys A. J.
Sawyer and Carl A. Lehman.
Stoddard was driving his rig out
Packard street, near Hill street on
'February 24 last, when he was hit hy
! a Detroit, Jackson & Chicago electric
' ear. The arig was demolished and
! Stoddard was badly injured, dying
ithe same afternoon at the Unive.sity
I hospital where he had been taken.
It is charged in the declaration
i filed in the matter, that the car was
i being operated at an excessive speed
and that i\ was. not under control,
such control as is said to be required
under the city franchise.   The decla- '

MOST MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE
| ration further asserts that had the
i electric car been fully under the control of its motorman it could have
been stopped before it struck Stoddard's rig and warning' had been
given him some distance away.
The wheels of the rig in which the
Saline man. was riding became fastened in the rails and before he could
extricate them, the big car hit him,
it is claimed.
A broken right arm, broken, right
leg, crushed and split pelvis bones
and other injuries are listed as having been the result of the mishap.
Expenses of $50 for hospital, $200
for funeral, are listed as well as
$4,000 for loss of earnings of the
dead man, and $5,000 for the pain
and suffering he underwent prior to
his death, making a total of $9,250.
Suit was begun for $10,000, however.

HENNE'S HARDWARE
Tiny Blood-Sweating Behemoth With
Carl Hageiibeck-Wallace Circus.
Blood-sweating behemoths of Holy
| Writ were once quite popular with"
showmen. The tall, slender gentle-
\ men in shiny top boots, who cracked
1 their long wnips behind the rosin-
| backs, were once quite enthusiastic
j in their praise of the animals who,
I according to the Prophet Job, drank
j up a river and tasted not.
But now that Little George is fair-
' ly launched upon his first journey
through the United States the guaranteed blood-sweaters are in the discard. For one Baby George—and
there is only one-^-is worth half a
gross of behemoths.
George will .embark from his spe-
cial car in the Carl Hagenbeck-Wal-
lace combined shows' train at an
hour when milkmen are ending their
rounds circus day.    He will be trun-
j

died into a cage in preparation  for
the day's work. . ^

Quallty  Fll'St,   Last   and   Always djmus in the world—as far as can be

George has been in the
States only two weeks, but from his
joyful demeanor his trainers have
concluded that he thoroughly approves of us as a nation.
But George is only a part of the
Hagenbeck-Wallace circus. There
are clowns and bareback riders and
acrobats—among them the only girl
acrobat who 'can turn a double somersault in the air.
The curcus will give two perform-
' ances in Ann Arbor Monday. The
. doors of the big menagerie tent will
I be thrown open at f and 7 o'clock, an

Washtenaw to Furnish 223.
Under the new army act, Michigan
must raise between 20,000 and 30,000
men by September. - Michigan is apportioned three per cent of the men
to he raised. For an army of 1,000,000
men Michigan must enlist 30,000 recruits, and for an army of 1,200,000
36,000* are needed.
The Wolverine state, however, is
credited with 1,648 regulars already
enlisted, and the last.federal inspection showed 3,650 national guardsmen,
since raised to 5,000.
Washtenaw county, on the same
basis, will be called on, to furnish
223 men.

"Intolerance"   to   he   Given   at   The
Whitney out Saturday.
D. W. Griffith's latest colossal spectacle, "Intolerance," said to be the
most magnificent spectacle of all
time, will be the attraction at the
Whitney theatre, Ann Arbor, matinee
and night, Saturday, May 26.
This new art creation, which comes
here following its. half year of popularity at the Liberty theatre, New
York, supplemented by long runs in
Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburgh,
San Franeisco and Los Angeles, In a
tremendous representation of big historic events in three distinct periods
of the world's history, placed in apposition with a story of life among
the people in the America of today,
and with an embellishment of orchestral music and of illustiathe song
heightened by theatrical effects and
in surroundings to suggest a flight in
fancy to other times and other places.
The purpose of this spectacle is to
show love's struggle throughout the
ages, which Mr. Griffith does by
means of four parallel stories. Ancient Babylon, Judea of the time of
Christ, Medieval Paris and a modern
American city are the scenes of these
stories.
Such wonderful settings, it is said,
as were provided for the showing o*
scenes in and about the ancient city
of Babylon are so massive and so
complete in accurate detail as to
stagger the imagination. Tremendous battles are fought—battles such
as even today could not be equaled in
fierceness of personal conflict.
When the Nazarene Himself is seen
in the streets of Jerusalem there is
the visualization, in reverent artistry,
of an actual Saviour of mankind—
often surpassing in beauty or in effectiveness some of the world's most
famed paintings of incidents at the
time of Christ. Then again the horrors of the massacre of St. Bartholomew are set forth with the skill of a
master to effects and all in surroundings that suggest the actual period.
The siege of the walls of Babylon,
and of the city itself, with tremendous instruments of ancient warfare
to attack the walls, and with struggling minions falling under the blow
of swords, perishing by fire or going
to death in the toppling, and falling
of lofty towers, is the achievement of
one who has done big things in a
big way.
Then there is the story of today,
with a man brought to the gallows
for a crime he did not commit and
saved only through the timely intervention of a governor, sought by the
confessed murderess in a racing automobile and caught, in the nick of
time, as he sat in the observation
car of an express car overtaken by
the motorcar.
Over 125,000 people took; part in
"Intolerance," quite the largest cast
ever assembled for any stage production. Some of this country's most
prominent film stars have the leading roles, among them, Mae Marsh,
Miriam Cooper, Lillian Gish, Constance Talmadge, Seena Owen, Margery Wilson, Bessie Love, Robert
Harron, Elmer Clifton, Alfred Paget,
Walter Long and Tully Marshall.
