Our Service
We use the word SERVICE in its broadest
sense—meaning superior goods, courtesy,
promptitude—"value received."
Schnebelf's Bakery
Crops Will Be Cared For Before Boys
May  Leave  Farm.
It speaks well for Saline when any
of our business establishments have
to seek larger quarters or add additional room in order to handle their
business. The latest forced to en-
, large is Schnehelt's bakery, which
j started in a modest way a few months
ago  in the  first  section of the Wal-
These are trying days for the young
men' of our land. A good share of
them will have been examined and
either passed or disqualified by the
time this paper reaches its readers.
Below we give the list of those examined from this vicinity and the result. A few will ask for exemption,
while others will answer the call
without question. As we understand
it, all have ten days in which to file
exemption claims, and even those
who do not may not be able to ejnter
the service, for all will have to undergo another rigid medical examination before they ean be mustered
into the government troops, aud may
be disqualified at -the last minute.
This makes for considerable uncertainty for some time to come:
Samuel J. Gall, rejected. Karl F.
Graf, passed. Fred E. Cramer, passed.
Edward F- H nix'.-, passed Earl Tai"-
oy, rejected. Raynor S. Pilbeam,
passed. Cad J. Schafer, passed.

I lace block.   With the removal of the
I Candy Kitchen to the Nichols block
i opportunity was presented Mr. Sehne-
I belt  to  secure the section  adjoining
I his bakery and he was quick to seize
I the chance.    It is now being redeco-
1 rated and  soon will be in readiness
as a sales place for the products of
the bakery.    An ice   cream  fountain
will be installed and a'line of candies
also added.
The bakery will occupy all of the
first section, giving larger and more
convenient arrangements. An arch
way will provide convenient communication between the two sections.
It is expected the new department
will be opened the latter part of next
week.
Owing to the large number of men
physically disqualified and tho many
exemptions allowed, the county board
will he unable to secure the 25S men
required of tliis county, from the first
516 called. The list of 516 drawn at
Washington has been exhausted and
in order to get the required number
of qualified men the call for 200 was
necessary.
This call will be the next 200 consecutive numbers and the list will be
announced soon by the county board.
Lansing, Aug. 6.—Protection of both
the individual registrant and the public is sought by draft authorities by
their announced plan for giving widest publicity to the claims for exemption and discharge and for appealing every case passed by the local
boards.
An agency in each district is to be
named to hear complaints and make
these appeals on behalf of the provost
marshal general. It is believed that
some man will be named within the
jurisdiction of each local board. He
will also appeal cases which the
local boards have discharged for dependents.
It is requested that the newspapers
publish the list of men released on
their own claim of exemption, together with the grounds on which
they claim it.
Local boards themselves will he relieved from any charges of favoritism hy the system of appeal which it
is proposed to establish.
Washington, Aug. 6.—Provision ,to
protect harvesting from shortage of
hands due to the mobilization of the
national army has been made hy the
government in regulations now going
out to district exemption boards.
Men needed in the fields to complete harvesting will be permitted to
remain at work until the need for
them passes, when they will join the
colors. Local boards, because of their
knowledge of local crop conditions,
will determine what men are necessary in this class.
Application for delay on this ground
may h.e submitted ta the district
board. The papers of harvest hands
will be returned hy the district board
to the local board where selection
will be made.
Lansing, Aug. 7.—Governor Sleeper
will carry out Michigan's part of the
order designating government appeal
agents in each draft exemption district.!
He will appoint an agent in each
of the 136 Michigan districts, subject
to approval in Washington. Official
instructions to make these appointments were received today.

It is said people go to church when
they feel inclined and that is not very
often. When were you at church?
Very many are conspicuous for their
absence.
Professor Fisher of Yale university
estimates that 7,000,000,000 pounds of
foodstuffs are used by the producers
of whiskey and bee . This, he said,

all the men, women and children of
Ohio a year and of 2,000,000 men he-

Griffith Thomas makes this comment: "When God; possesses us we
are "possessed by His presence, and
the Holy Spirit cannot be in us without purifying our thoughts, desires
and motives, and so equipping us for
His service.
Ypsilanti Hard Hit By Storm.
The most damaging wind and electrical storm since 1910 swept over Ypsilanti Sunday afternoon, blowing
down trees, ripping" awnings and damaging buildings. The roof on the
main building of the State Normal
college was blown off. Lightning
struck the First Baptist church and
the water tower. Traffic on the interurban railway was delayed several
hours, as a dozen trolley poles were
blown down between there and Ann
Arbor. Two hundred telephone lines
were reported out of order. Country
lines also were damaged. A large
tree was blown across the house of
Dr. Thomas Shaw, corner of Pearl
and Adams streets. Farmers southwest of the city reported that corn
and oats fields were leveled. The fire
department was called to the substation of the Edison company, where
a fire was started by lightning.

A BIG EVENT
FOR SATURDAY
Double Balloon Ascension and Parachute Drops.
PROFESSIONAL AERONAUTS WILL
PERFORM THRILLING STUNTS
Event   Financed  By   Saline's   Enterprising Business   Men.
Not to be outdone hy any of the
neighboring villages, our business
men made up a purse and have lviied
a couple of first elass aeronauts to
pull off a big double balloon ascension and double parachute drop on
Saturday afternoon.
As the gentlemen who are to make
the trip in the monster hot air bag
and come down in separate parachutes are old hands at the game .the
public is assured of a thriller such as
it is seldom one's privilege to witness, and everybody for miles around
should avail themselves of the generosity of our business men in providing such an unusual attraction and
be on hand to witness the event.
Owing to the fact it is net possible
to tell in advance just what weather
conditions will prevail' on Saturday,
no set time can be announced for the
balloon ascension, but it will occui
some time between 5:00 and 7:3(
p. m. -It will be best to be on liana
early, and if one has to wait a little
while it will be easy to spend the intervening time in visiting with old
friends and acquaintances. . Don't
forget the day and date—Saturday afternoon, August 11.
Hutzcl-Lolir Wedding.
A pretty home wedding was that
solemnized Wednesday afternoon August 1, at 4 o'clock, when Miss Elsa
Lohr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Amos
Lohr, of Pittsfield, became the bride
of Clarence Hutzel, also of Pittsfield.
Rev. Hugh Fenker, of Ypsilanti, performed the ceremony in the presence
of immediate relatives of the contracting parties. The bride, gowned
in pink and white marquisette, and
carrying white sweet peas, was attended by her sister, Miss Laura Lohr,
whose gown was of white voile, while
pink sweet peas formed her bouquet.
Emerson Hutzel; of St. Louis, Md.,
was best man.
Sweet peas and smilax made graceful and artistic decorations throughout the house, including the dining
room, where the Misses Lovena Sey-
ler and Jessie Clark served the wed-
'ding supper.
Mr. and Mrs. Hutzel will make
their home on the groom's farm in
Pittsfield.

August 12, 1917.   Subject:   Spirit.
Golden Text: I Corinthians 2:12.
"We have received, not the spirit of
the world, but the spirit which is of
God; that we might know* the things
that are freely given to us of God."
Sunday school convenes immediately after the morning service.
For the Common Good.
We presume there are times when
we could make this sheet a whole lot
more sensational than it is. We could
make it a point each week to single
out the poor spots in our community
life and hold them up to public inspection, but what would he the use?
No community, as a whole, was ever
built up by searching out all its little
defects while its virtues remained
hidden. We are all a part of our community life. We meet and pass each
other many times in the course of a
day and the other fellow's work is so
closely interwoven into ours that we
cannot ignore him if we would. We
will succeed, we will grow, just in
that proportion that we all overlook
each other's weaknesses and mistakes
and work together for the common
good.   Try it and see.
