A good one can hardly be established short
of several years, while a few clays may be
enough to prove up on a bad one.
This bank would like your business on thfe
strength of its reputation for service that
serves, when you need just the service we can
give you.
If you cannot give us all of your business,
let us have a part of it.

Special meeting of the common
council, under call for rearrangement
of street lighting, July 31, 1917.
President Cook in the chair.
Trustees present: Cool, Hutzel,
Parsons, Seeger, Wheeler.
Trustee absent:  Burkhart.
Mr. D. B. South, district superintendent of the Detroit Edison company, and Mr. F. E. Jones were present, Mr. Jones acting as village attorney.
Mr. South said that as it was impossible for the Edison company to
get the materials for the boulevard
system of lighting, as wanted for the
main streets, the company could not
put in that system at the present time.
However, it would be agreeable with
the company to continue the street
lighting under the present conditions
without any change or notation on the
old contract, allowing old contract to
run along from month to month until
such time as the company could install such lighting system as is wanted; or if wished by the village council, the company would install incandescent lights, in such quantities and
strengths as are wished by the lighting committee and the council, at a
schedule of rates to be given the
council at this time, but the arrangement to be subject to change when it
is possible to install the boulevard
system. A new contract not to be
necessary at this time, but a letter
to the village from the proper officials to be sent to cover this arrangement. Also the lighting to be an all-
night schedule, the council agreeing
to waive the section of the contract
calling for the free lighting of the
council rooms and engine rooms.
Motion by Cool that the lighting
committee with Mr. Fosdick of the
Detroit Edison company, make a survey of the streets of the village and
determine the location and number of
the lights for the incandescent system, approximate candle power of
lights for the various locations, etc.,
and make recommendations to the
council as to their findings. Supported by Hutzel.   Carried.
Motion hy  Cool  to  adjourn.    Sup-

SCHOOL DAYS
AGAIN NEAR
Strong Corps of Teachers Will Guide
the Pupils.
Senior   High   Course   Enlarged,   and
Improved.
Soon the familiar sound of the
school bell will call the merry youth
to the greater joy of prepaiing fo?
grown-up life! Will he be sorry holidays and dog days are over and he
must go to school again? Well, no!
Did you ever see a good healthy lad
or a rosy, happy girl sorry school
had begun?   We never have.
Doubtless Molly and Ted are wondering who "teacher" will be, what
does she look like, and some one
hears, "My, I hope she won't be cross!"
We don't believe she will be cross or
homely, but we do know who she will
be.
Besides .Supt. H. L. Gibb, who, we
heard some one say the other day, is
an old man, the -faculty consists of
the following:
Principal of senior high school.
Alma B. Ackley.
Latin and assistant of the junior
high, Jessie Woolsey, of YpsHanti.
English and history, Isabel Foreman, of Birmingham.
German and English, Edythe Skinner, Saline.
Music and drawing, Rosena Schan-
er, of Ypsilanti.
Filth and sixth grades, Kathelene
Blackhurst, of Midland.
Third and fourth grades, Flora E.
Child, of Hemlock, N. Y.
First and second grades, Eva A.
Nichols, of St. Johns.
A new catalog and course of study
has been under preparation all summer and is now in the hands of the
printer. It will probably be ready
for general distribution about a week
before school opens. Every patron
and person interested should get one.
They may be had either by application to the secretary, Charles Cool, or
from Supt. Gibb. Among the new
features is a detailed outline of the
work of the grades; a distinct division of the work of the junior and
senior high schools, using each department as a unit in planning the
work. Ample, provision is made to
accommodate the seventh and eighth
grade pupils from the rural schools
so that all who enter will have the
benefit of specially trained teachers
the same as the other grades of the
high school. The eighth grade examination is eliminated for those who
take this junior high school work.
But pupils who have already passed
the eighth grade county examinations
will be received in the third form of
the junior high school as usual. Agriculture has been put in the junior
high school where it ^Yjll reach the
largest number. Bookkeeping and
business arithmetic and also applied
mechanical drawing have been added
to the work of the senior high school,
while Latin I, Art I (music and drawing consisting of designing, interior
decoration, pattern planning, domestic design, etc.), and Art II (similar
to Art I, but more advanced) have
been made elective. Many other surprises await the opening of school.
ANOTHER BALLOON ASCENSION
And   Double   Paraehute   Drop   Will
Take Place Next Tuesday
Evening.
A large crowd witnessed the balloon ascension and double parachute
drop Saturday evening. The weather
was ideal for public and aeronauts,
and nothing happened to mar the suc-
cessw of the enterprise. An added
thrill was introduced when it was
learned that Edward Rivers, who is
employed on the farm by Seldon
Wheelock, would accompany Mr.
Hastings in the trip to the clouds and
back to mother earth via. a parachute.
The latter did not permit his escort
to accompany him as far upward as
he himself went, but Rivers went high
enough to satisfy the crowd, and
made a safe descent, much to the relief of Ms friends. The young man
told us he enjoyed the trip very much.
Mr. Hastings, the professional, ascended about as high as the balloon
would safely carry him, before cutting loose the parachute, and came
down as nicely as you please.
So satisfactory was the event from
every angle our business men have
engaged Mr. Hastings to duplicate the
feature here on Tuesday evening,
August 21, combining with the band
concert to furnish a longer program
of pleasant thrills and sweet harmony. All are cordially invited, and
to bring your friends.
