HEALTHY CONDITIONS
I would rather be a little fellow climbing1
up, than the big" fellow slipping back.
The fellow who is slipping has nothing tto
look forward to, whereas, the little fellow who
is climbing higher up, sees daily encouragement and progress.
So don't be discouraged, if you are just
making the start.
This bank takes pride in its large number
of customers, who are young people or beginners.

These cool days by using a Perfection Oil Heater.
They heat up your rooms in a jiffy, and help you save
expensive coal and wood. When you need a little heat
in a room and don't want to start the furnace, you will
be surprised at the heat they generate within a few
minutes.   And they are inexpensive to burn, too.

Balane has surely found herself.
If ever there was a question of our
loyalty and patriotism it was quickly
dispelled on Monday evening, when
in response to the invitation extended
the people of the village and for miles
around packed the Saline opera house
to the sidewalk entrance.
And all were well repaid for their
time and the inconvenience of many
in standing through it all. The band
rendered several pleasing selections
on the street before the exercises began in the hall, and the program by
the United States orchestra and
pupils from the school was fine in
every particular. Communlity singing, a new custom in tliis section,
was taken hold of enthusiastically
and proved a splendid feature. A
couple of patriotic solos by John
Finch were much enjoyed.
The work of the Red Cross was
presented, also the coming festival
by the farmers' clubs of the county.
James Schermeaiiorn, Jr., worthy
son of his father, delivered the first
address of the evening and it made
a lasting impression on his hearers.
"We" regret time and space will not
permit of extended mention of the
addresses. Subsequent action by the
audience testified more eloquently
than we can of the effect of their appeals in behalf of the Army Y. M. C.
A. fund of $50,000,000, which is being
raised in the United States this week.
Rev. S. A. John of Ann Arbor,, who
Svas billed to speak in the Genhian
language, prefaced his address with a
few remarks in English. We do not
know what he said in German, but
we do know that it must have been
very interesting. He is a rapid fire
orator of the first rank and was given
rapt attention by all.
The closing act of the evening's
program was inspiring. A large
blackboard was arranged on the stage
and when subscriptions were called
for the United States Orchestra headed the list with a subscription of §30.
Dr. Morden followed with one of $20,
and then tlie canvassers through the
audience called off a regular fusillade
of ten dollar offerings. Horatio Abbott of Ann Arbor, who is almost as
wejlB known here as any of our own
citizens, a'ssisted by the chairman of
the evening, Prof. Gibb, had charge
of the soliciting from the platform
and didn't allow interest to lag for a
moment. As soon as it became evi-i
dent the $10 subscriptions were exhausted $5 ones were called for and
met with ready response, and so om,
down till they closed at $1. "When
the secretary, John Lutz, and his assistant, Lloyd Fairbank, had an opportunity to catch their breath and
total the subscriptions the audience
had gradually dispersed and could
not know that nearly seven hundred
dollars had been pledged to the cause
of making things just a little brighter, just a little more homelike for the
boys who have assumed the greatest
burdens in this, our war for democracy.
Tuesday and "Wednesday evenings
patriotic rallies were held in a number of the district school houses
throughout Saline and adjoining
townships, and very flattering reports
of further subscriptions to the fund
alldted this district are coming in.
More meetings will be held this and
tomorrow evenings.
The sum this district is supposed
to raise is $1,000, and all indications
at present point to its oversubscription, in a flattering manner.
When we have a thing to do, we do
it, and thus is Saline kept onl thle
map.

of Snover, who owns land near Deckerville from which he refused to harvest the crop of hay because he would

Rev. W. H. Hoffman, Pastor.
"Un-
Subject    Sabbath   morning:
conscious  Drifting."
The evening service is in the Methodist church.
Sabbath school lesson: "Nehe-
miah's Prayer Answered," or conditions of answered prayer. This is a
vital and interesting subject, that
mortals can hold communion with
God.
Y. P. S. C. E. at 6 o'clock; subject,
"Our Mission Boards," in charge ofthe missionary committee.
The meeting of the Ladies' Aid was
largely attended at the home of Mrs.
A. D. Crittenden^ the newly elected
president. J.
Our Sabbath school was well represented at the state convention in Detroit by Mrs. C. F. Rankin and Muss
Ida Clements. A report of the con-,
vention will be given later.
The pastor has just received a very
interesting letter from William Lutz.
He is well and speaks enthusiastically of his army experience.
It is often said as an excuse tori
staying home that preachers are dull
and prosy. Is there any theme or
subject you would like discussed? If
so, just write it on a sl,i"p of paper
and hand it to your minister. We
would all be glad of a suggestion and
it might be the means of increasing
your own interest in your pastor.
Frank Smith will lead the prayer
meeting in the absence of the pastor,
who is spending the week in Detrojit.
Is it not about time to begin to arrange for Christmas? The many happenings of the day should not obscure the importance of this great
event of the world's history. Amid
the strife and bloodshed of widely
extended battle lines, the rokr of
cannon and clash of arms, we need to
hear again the song of the angelis
over the Saviour's birth, "Peace on
earth, good will to men."
It is encouraging to note in the
elections of the past week material
gains for prohibition. The issue is,
at this writing, somewhat uncertain
in Ohio but the tidal wave is risinlg
and we shall see the wreckage of the
liquor power scattered along the
shore.
Notoriety comes to us rather
strangely at times. The village of
Concord is one of the most orderly
and law abiding communities in
Michigan. The people are thrifty and
prosperous, the most of them attend
church and mind their own affairs
as country people generally do, and
still it was in such a "peaceful rural
retreat one of the most thrilling, adventurous and spectacular bank robberies in all the annals of criminal
daring has been enacted. It is a relief to know that while the people
were terrorized, none of them met
an untimely death. The moral of
such a frightful disaster is, what can
be done to protect our scattered rural
communities from such desperadoes?

money to furnish hospitals, and
nursing that some may be saved.

le'ction- will be taken, at which jthe
smallest sum will be gratefully accepted, at the same time no limit is
placed on the generosity of the public.
EVERYBODY COME, you will have
a good time and help a good work.
BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS
Place  Them on  Packages  for Sammies, and Others.
Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. 12.—"Put a
Christinas Seal on the package you
send to Sammy," asks the Michigan
Anti-Tuberculosis association. The
seals cost but one cent and (that one
cent will furnish the only sinews of
war which the association will have
with which to combat tuberculosis
during the coming year. The Christmas stijekers pay the bill for all the
work that is being done and on the
response of the people of Michigan to
the plea will depend how much work
can be done during the next year.
Hundreds of thousands oi Christmas packages win be sent to the
Sammies from Michigan before November 15, and if a Christmas seal is
placed on each one the revenue will
do much to help swell the fund this
season.
The state association proposes to
devote all its attention to war work
during the next year. It will) try to
return to health and strength those
pers'ons who have been rejected in the
draft because of tuberculosis and it
will try to find means to take care of
those soldiers who will be returned
from the trenches "wounded by tuberculosis. For this work funds are
needed, and the association is depending on the sale of the little one-ieent
stickers to furnish the money.
During the next two or three days
the large majority of the Christmas
packages for the soldiers in France
will be mailed, and the state associa-
,tion is depending on the friends and
relatives of the boys at the .front to
make liberal use of the Christmas
sealls. This year the seal is for the
soldier. -
