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. Out-
side bakeries spend their money at home, too, which doesn't
help Saline much, does it? When ordering bread, specify

THE WAR IS NOT OVER.
C H. Schweppe, Director of the
War Loan organization for the Seventh Federal Reserve District, has
sent throughout the five states comprising the Seventh district an appeal
from Postmaster General A. S. Burleson urging the postmasters to continue their cooperation in the sale of
War Savings stamps and to do everything in their power to support the
great thrift movement of the Government during the present year. In his
appeal to the postmasters the Postmaster General points to the fact that
the war is not over and will not be
until the financial obligations incurred by the war have been completely
discharged.
Following is the statement issued
by the Postmaster General;
"The Postoffice Department deeply
appreciated, the ,, splendid... patriotic
War Savings service of the postmasters during the year 1918, and inasmuch as the thrift movement is to be
one of the major operations of the
United States Government for the
year 1919 the Post office Department
earnestly asks your co-operation with
the county, city and town War Savings chairmen. It is not true, |as
many seem to believe, that the war
is over. The war is not over and
will not be over, so far as our people
are concerned, until the financial obligations we have incurred have been
completely discharged.
"As a representative man of your
community there devolves upon yon a
duty to our country and to the people
with whom you come in contact to
co-operate in this most important activity sponsored hy our government.
Hence, I bespeak your cordial co-operation in War Savings for this year."

THE TOLL' OF WAR
Sergeant O.  S. Thompson Wounded
Eleven Times 4nd Has Badly
Shattered\eit Hand.
Tuesday afternoon the editor of the
Tribune had a hrief interview with
Sergeant O. S. Thompson of Dexter,
recently returned from overseas. He
is the son of John O. Thompson, editor of the Dexter Leader, where, as
a youngster, he was initiated into the
mysteries of the printing trade_ and
also acquired the name of "Spike" because of his long,, lanky physique.
Later, he also worked on the Tribune
and other Southern Michigan country
newspapejjjs. . ^
And that^jgnrng? "Spike" was also
something oWa. baseball player back
in the good old diys hefore the misguided residents of Germany tried to
thrust "kultur" dawn our throats.
But no longer will "Spike" Thompson grace the baseball diamond or
hold a printer's stick, for he has a
shattered and stiffened left hand, the
result of machine gun fire at the second battle of the Marne, August 1st.
Perhaps he could catch a ball by the
use of a catcher's mit, but we doubt
it, and we are quite sure that his
days in the "back-office" of a country
arint shop are over. THAT'S THE
TOLL OF WAR !.
But is Sergeant Thompson downhearted? Not at all. As he passed
through Chelsea on the 3:29 train,
?Fuesday afternoon, he was on the
rear platform watching for us' as the
train pulled into the station. Glancing out of the office window at the
slowly passing train, we espied a tall
husky soldier hoy waving at us and
whom Ve knew at once was "Spike,"
and it didn't take us long to get to
the door, hut "Spike" and his grin had
vaulted the depot failings and met us
just outside the office door.
Jolly, good-natured old "Spike"
isn't worrying ahout a maimed left
wing. "Guess I'll have to study law,"
he joked and then changed the conversation to a less personal subject. He
is a true "soldier of fortune."
It seems that at the second battle of
the Marne, where Sergeant Thompson
"got his" eleven times, he and a few
others had discovered a machine gun
nest- r.nd were trying -to put-it out of,
commission. As Thompson was about
to fire, a Hun machine gun sent along
a burst of bullets, which completely
swept away the first three knuckles
on his left hand, but Thompson refused to pay any attention to his hand
except to bind it up,, and kept on
cleaning out that nest, being in when
the last Hun's "kamerad" died out
on thin air.
The "hurst" of bullets that scooped
out the knuckles of his left hand did
not stop there, but penetrated his
right shoulder, causing an ugly, gaping wound, but this was a mere
"scratch," according to Thompson.
However, among the other nine
"scratches" he "got that day was a hole
through both legs and a wound in the
groin, and one piece of shrapnel took
out a piece of one lung.
You and I purchased Liberty bonds
and-War Savings stamps at so much
per with liberal interest, and contributed to the patriotic fund; but Sergeant Thompson has paid WAR'S
TOLL !—Chelsea Tribune.
NEWSPAPER FOR WOUNDED
IS STARTED IN DETROIT
"These are the men who by sacrifice of their today, have made for us
tomorrow. Let us keep faith with
them."
With this message, written by Capt.
Ian Hay Beith, especially for its editorial page, the first number of the
Detroit Azuwer, the weekly paper issued by staff and patients of Army
General Hospital No. 36, formerly the
Ford hospital, made its appearance in
this city.
"There is much talk of reconstruction," writes Captain Beith. "Some
people would hurry rconstruction by
scrapping the military machine. In
that case, what would become of our
wounded? The machine must run until the last wounded soldier lias heen
healed, re-educated and given afresh
start in life."
Sergt H. Gordon Hullfish, managing editor of the Azuwer, was recently detailed from Washington to Detroit. He was formerly managing editor of the Right-About, the paiper issued hy three debarkation hospitals
in New York. Lieut. H. C. Hines.
head of the hospital's department of
general education, is editor in chief.

MARY?PICKFORD SATURDAY

Mary Pickford's next appearance in
an Artcraft, picture will be in an
adaptation from William J. Locke's
novel, "Stella Maris," which wiill be
shown at The Liberty theatre on Saturday. It was prepared for the screen
by Frances Marion and produced by
Marshall Nellan, who directed Miss
Pickford's latest success, "Rebecca of
Sunnybrook Farm" and "A Little
Princess."
The story of Stella Maris gives to
Miss Pickford the most tenderly appealing role in which-she has ever
appeared on the screen. The Art-
craft star for the first time in her
career plays a double role, the characters of Stella Maris, who has been
a paralytic for ten years, living in a
home of wealth, surrounded by every
luxury and with the tender and devoted care of the circle of friends
who are worshippers at the -"Court of
Stella Marls,-" the bedroom where
none without smiles are allowed to
nter, and where world-wisdom and
care has no place; and that of Unity
Blake, a Veritable "Ugly Ducklingv the
slave of an orphanage, living on the
scraps and dressing in the rags
which are -given to her in the name
oE charity.
In this latter role Miss Pickford appears with curls straightened out and
hair braided down against a. dirty
face and over a hunched shoulder,
/his uncouth character forms a remarkable contrast to that of the
'■eautiful Stella Maris. Miss Pickford's transition fiom one character
to the other will no doubt be remembered as one of the greatest achievements in her artistic work.
The story revolves around the curing and entrance into the real world
ot the paralytic, Stella Maris, and the
revelation to her, after having been
sheltered for years in a world .of
dream's and ideals, of the actualities
of the misery and sorrow in" the real
life outside.

Mr. B. N. Smith and Mr. Frank
Smith attended the New Era conference in Ypsilanti last Friday evening.
Arthur Lutz, the newly elected
superintendent of the Sabbath school,
assumed his office last Sabbath under
very gracious and auspicious circumstances. It is very encouraging to
see our young people filling important positions in the church.
Miss Edna Smith, this last week,
attended the New Era rally in Detroit, at the same time the Young
Peoples' conference and study classes.
Many inspiring addresses- were given
and the New-Era movement fully inaugurated in Michigan. It is hopeful more of our people will come in
vital touch with this new spiritual
impulse, until the whole church of
God shall he lifted out of the shallows
and sweep out on the flood tide of
spiritual ppwer that is now moving
over the world.
As the time of the election on the
Wine and Beer amendment approach--
es it would seem that many good moral people, " and even" christians, are
taking counsel of their fears. .They
tell us the' liquor forces are rallying
mightily against them, even combing
the red light districts of our cities,
and that many of the. labor unions
are organizing against nation-wide
prohibition, 500.000 strong, under the
threat of "ho beer, no work." If this
is the case, then it is high time to
know whether the rule of the majority is authority and is of sufficient
force to carry out the will of the people. """ „ ,-
And while we take an intelligent
outlook of the situation and see all
that the enemy is doing, "we should
not forget that the most sublime
sight in the world is the rising of the
righteous yeomanry of the nation,
saying hy their vote America shall
"be forever free from the blighting
curse of intemperance und the saloons
shall not eom)e back to ensnare our
youth.
