Let Your Money Circulate at Home
The more you buy Saline made bread the more your
money will circulate at home, thus promoting the general
prosperity of all. We make our money as well as our bread
and pastries here, and we spend our money here, too. Outside bakeries spend their money at home, too, which doesn't
'help Saline much, does it? When ordering bread, specify

The 'fourth concert in the Choral
Union series at Ann Arbor will take
place Saturday evening, February a,
when Toscha Seidel, the much talked
about young Russian violinist, will be
heard in the University city for the
first time.
Mr. Seidel is the last of the three
great young •violinists who crfeated
such a sensation; in America last season, the other two being Jascha Hei-
fetz and-Max Rosen. The names of
these three have been linked together-
as representing almost a- new development in violin.playing. All three
are Russians; all are practically of
the same • age, eighteen, and all were
taught by the same great master,
Leopold Auer.
Rosen was heard in Ann- Arbor last
year and at this time the public will
have an opportunity of hearing the
second member of this great trio.
Toscha Seidel has prepared a particularly attractive program for his
Ann Arbor debut, consisting of the
following numbers*:
Chaconne    Vita*i
Concerto, No. 3 Saint-Saems
Allegro non troppo.
Andantino quasi, allegro.
Mo Ito moderato e maestoso.
Nocturne £
Mazurka ................ Chcpin.-Auei

MUST FIGHT WET AND DRY
BATTLE OVEB AGAIN IN STATE
Ratification of Amendment to Federal
Constitution Sadd Not to Alter
Local Situation.
The battle between the wet and dry
forces, which electors believed was
all over when the necessary number
of states ratified the federal prohibition amendment a few days ago, must
be fought all over again in Michigan
at the elction in April, leaders of the
dry forces within the state declare.
If the so-called "wine and beer"
amendment is adopted, it is averred
by the Drys, all restrictive legislation
that up to this time has been enacted
in Michigan, will be automatically re"*
pealed, leaving the door open for John
Barleycorn to iset himself up again in'
every county in the state. *
"If the so-called 'wine and beer'
amendment is permitted to slip by, it
will overthrow all that has been done
up to this to control the dispensing pf
liquor within Michigan," in the opinion of Grant M. Hudson, who is again
leading the Drys. "The acceptance ofi
the federal amendment by a- majority
of the states does not settle matters.
If the proposed amendment being submitted by the wets was to be adopted;
it would become effective in May, 1S-
19. Inasmuch as the war prohibition
measure does not become operative
until July 1, 1919, we would certainly
have the saloon back with us for two
months, while if for any reason the
war prohibition bill is not enforce'd,.
it will mean that liquor can come
back until January 16, 1920. Finally,
if nationwide prohibition is delayed
by litigation, or for other reasons, it
will mean that the saloon will be
back with us indefinitely. That'is
why we are making a fight, and attempting to muster at the polls in
April every vote we marshalled in
1916, and a few more."
Women wishing to register in the
township may do so at any time at the
clerk's office in Muir's hardware store*
Because of the large number of constitutional amendments submitted so
far this session and the necessity of
action on many of them expected to
be ratified at the April election, some
members of the legislature predict
that the present session will not corn-
elude its work before June 1 and consequently are reported favoring an
adjournment late in March: and an extra session, after, the election. Few
members object to -shortening the session, it is said, because it would enable the solj*jH-> to collect tlieir $8T>0
for the regular session and then receive §5 a day and mileage for the
special session.—Ionia  Standard.
GETTING THE BOOZE-TOTEBS
Lively Times in .Saline Shortly After
Daylight Monday Morning*.
If we could anticipate what is going to happen.?:in this community
there would be no need to attend a
performance staged by William S.
Hart, the "Tiger Man," for the thrills
so necessary to modern existence.
The movies missed a real thriller
Monday morning,, by not having a
camera on the ground to catch the
climaxes in .a thrilling ifilm entitled
"Getting the Booze Toters," pulled off
right in the heart of town.
About six o'clock a gang of "runners" in seven "big, handsome touring cars attempted to get through Saline to Detroit. Deputy Sheriff Cook,
iJlarnhal Carvin, Fred Burkhart, Max
Fosdick, Earl Fosdick and Luther
Briggs, stationed at different corners,
attempted to corral the gang. They
succeded in getting two cars, and
"Maud," the usually tractable car on
the interurban, "got" another in the
gully just east of? town. The driver
took a beeline down the track and
when he wanted "to get off to .escape
the on-coming "Maud" it was an im-
possible feat, so he abandoned the car
and its cargo and. for all anyone
knows he's going yet. The dealer who
sold the car came'out and got the "remains," and today Mr. Cook is in the
big city after the purchaser, who
may or may not hive been the driver.
Only one man was captured, a
young fellow who.claimed to be simply a driver at a good fee, ignorant of
his errand, but keen for the ?50
promised him for his work.
There must have been about a
thousand quarts .of whiskey in the
captured cars whicli, with the lone
captive, was hustled over to the county seat for safe-keeping.
Woman's Club Meeting
The Saline Woman's Club met at
the home of Mrs. C. O. Woodbridge
Tuesday afternoon. Roll call was responded to with "Current Events." A
reading was givenby iMrs. Anna Miller on "What are the women of Michigan going to do with the bal.lot?"
The article brought out many helpful
ideas and impressed upon the ladies
the need- of "m-aMiigitte-best* possibie--
usa of their.right of franchise.
A' short article was read by Mrs.
Parsons on Registration. At the conclusion of the paper the ladies voted
to have February 7 as registration
day, for the ladies of Saline .and vicinity. .
■ A paper by Miss Rose on Child Welfare was most interesting and instructive, and impressed upon the minds of
every lady present the work we have
to do to preserve the health of infants
and the youth of our land.
A solo by Miss Schaner, "My Jacqueminot," by Herbert Johnson, was
fine, and she responded to an encore
-with a selection entitled "Knitting,"
by Anna Priscilla Richer. This num-
her closed a very interesting program.
The club will meet with Mrs'. Earl
Dietiker Tuesday, February 18. This
being St. Valentine's week, each lady
is requested to bring an original valentine.

LITTLE KID OF FRANCE
\        J   *■ -^ •*.
/
(By an A. E. F. Soldier.)
Little kid of France,
With your bashful glance,
Somber eyes askance,
Standing in the door,
Come, be rougish, "wily,
Stretch your hand, if shyly,
Be a trifle smilely,
If there is a war.
Little kid of France,
With your funny pants,
Dare to take a chance,
Come and get a sou.
Please don't be so chary,
Wide-eyed and so starey,
Though we're strange and scarey,
We are strong for you-
Presbyterian Chnrch Newp
Rev. W. H. HoHman. Pastor.
Subject Sabbath morning: Y. P. S
C. E. Decision Day. The value of cle
cision in character building.
Evening theme: Some Lessons fron:
Lhe Life of Lincoln.
The annual, meeting of the church,
and congregation will be held Tues.
day afternoon, February 11, at 2:30_
This is to accommodate the people
from the country, and to assure .a
lai ge attendance of all those who arc
interested in the welfare of. the
church.
Various reports will be given, two
trustees will be elected, a financial
"statement" will be ""made, and^such
other business dispatched as usually
comes before the yearly meeting.
Our sympathies and prayers -have
been with two of our members, thi*;
past week. The sudden illntss and
death of Mrs. William Clements' came
as such a surprise to her man}
friends and loved ones that her goin:
seems like a transition.
Mrs. William Mead is now in the
hospital undergoing an operationand
all are hoping that it may prove'favorable.
These two mosf excellent women
have been great workers in. the
church and deeply interested and active in the welfare of the community
and have won for themselves a host of
friends.
This is Christian Endeavor week
and is being generally observed
throughout the world. The local society is carrying out a special program that should prove of interest to
the public.
There is now and then one who has
the idea, this young peoples' movement is on the wane. The fact is, it
is the most up to date enterprise in
the world. The era of great conventions is gone, but the organization is
definitely related to the activities of
the church.
The stars on the Crhistian Endeavor service flag number 140,000 - and
many of these have gone over the top
and distinguished themselves in no-
man's-land
While the -war was in progress 200,-
00O of Christian Endeavorers were
organized for war gardening, selling
of Liberty bonds, thrift stamps, .helping the Red Cross, and all that their
Uncle Sam called them to do. Ah,' yes,
my carping friend, there is fire*'-still
on the altar of these young pe'oples
hearts, and if you will come in touch
"with it, your own soul will be set
aflame, and criticism will he turned
to unbounded praise. \
We hear of the decline and fall of
the Roman empire, and history relates how its wreckage -was. scattered
far and near. There was good reason
for such a catastrophe. They counted
not God in their thoughts, they8 lost
sight of the fact that the fear of God
is the beginning of wisdom, andvthat
righteousness keeps a nation exalted.
Never in the history of the world
was there such knowledge and enlightenment and progress. The, genius and skill of man is mastering thfc
material universe and we hear much
of these exploits and" anticipate still
greater achievements, but it would be
a grave mistake if we should forget
God aind bring-a decline on our modern civilization." It is a good time to
look around and see what God is
doing.

POULTBY   CULLING   PBOF1TABLE
Farm Bureau Office Beceives Interesting Beports.
Last fall the County Farm Bureau
arranged for fifteen demonstrations in
culling poultry -flocks. - Farms were
visited in different parts of the county -
and their flocks culled. An expert
from the Agricultural College conducted the demonstrations. He not
only culled the drones from the layers
but showed the owner how to do it
himself. With a little experience any
owner of a flock can do the culling.
Fifteen hundred birds we.e handled
and from Zdfo to 50% were usually
culled out.
Farmers Appreciate "Work.
Here's what one farmer wrote to
the county agricultural agent. ''The
hens you culled out, or market hens,
were kept-separate -»for sl week with
the result that they did not lay an
egg. All these were immediately
sold and the remaining flock produced
as many or more eggs without the
drones. You certainly did me a financial favor when you culled over those
hens. I heartily appreciate it and
feel grateful to you for your services,"
