SALINE, MICH.
Pine weather, an exceptionally
strong program and record-breaking
crowds marked this year's chautauqua.
Harry Bennett and his Scotch entertainers led off on "Wednesday and
fully came up to expectations. The
lecture in the evening by "Mother"
Lake on "The Divine Rights of the
Child" covered this important subject
as thoroughly as limited time would
permit and made a deep impression
on her audience.
The Mozart Orchestral Ladles presented two splendid programs on
Thursday and in the evening Hon.
Frank B. Willis spoke of a few of the
"Perils and Problems" which confront
our nation. His criticism of the
League of Nations covenants which
do not meet his approval was rather
severe, and it is just possible there
was as much politics as reason in his
remarks.
On Friday George P. Bible gave his
lecture, "New FadsTind Fancies," to
an appreciative audience, and the
Misses Ringgold and Major performed
artistically on violin and piano. The
best of the week's offerings was presented Friday evening by Miss Dunaway, assisted by the Misses Ringgold
and Major. Her interpretation of
"Just Plain Judy" was decidedly true
to life .and captivated all, from the
youngest to the oldest, and we're hoping to have her with us again in the
not too distant future.
Saturday's program, the Hawaiian
Singers and Players, and the "Community Efficiency" lecture by James
S. Knox were more than good. Mr.
Knox knows his subject well and no
doubt could have gone on for several
hours pointing the way to greater
community betterment work.
Victor's Columbian Band, which is
really a band-orchestra, closed the
sessions with two satisfactory concerts on Sunday afternoon and evening. "While not the largest organization seen at chautauquas in former
years they rank well up -with the best
of them.
The junior chautauqua was very
well attended this year, about fifty
being present each day. The parade
Saturday morning was very pretty,
all gaily and tastefully dressed. The
pageant Saturday evening was especially good, the children doing their
parts well. The "Cloth of Gold,"
which was represented by the Amer-
can flag, the Boy Scouts and the
Camp Fire Girls altogether formed a
very nice part of the chautauqua, the
results proving that much good had
been done in drilling the children.
•. Sunday evening a permanent chautauqua organization was perfected
which is backed by more than a hundred boosters from village and country, so next year's event is already
guaranteed. A small deficit was cheerfully made UP by small contributions
Sunday afternoon and evening and the
new officers will not be handicapped
in any way. Following are the officials elected to serve for 1919-1920:
President—^"rank Rose.
Secretary—Ernest Skinner.
Treasurer—Lloyd Fairbank.
Executive Committee—C. H. Miller,
W. M. Fowler, J. H. Feldkamp, Theodore Josenhans, Burt Osborne, Frank
Smith, A. D. Crittenden, Ferman

"REVERENCE POR THE LAW.
"Let reverence for the laws be
breathed by every American mother
to the lisping babe that prattles on
her lap; let it be taught in schools, in
seminaries, and in colleges, let it be
written in primers, spelling books and
In almanacs; let it be preached from
the pulpits, proclaimed in legislative
ha'ls and enforced in courts of justice, and, in short, let it become the
political religion of the nation, and
lejt the old and the young, the rich
and the poor, the .grave and the gay,
of all sexes and tongues and colors
and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly
upon its altars."

CARD OP THANKS.
"We wish to thank the many friends
and neighbors who showed us so
much kindness and sympathy at the
death of our beloved wife and mother,
and for the beautiful floral offerings.
~We also wish to express our sincere
thanks to Rev. Lederer for his comforting words and to the choir for
the beautiful vocal selections.

Some wive,s never save what they
have and others never-have anything
to save.
Some clergymen deal in rhetoric,
some in logic, some in common sense.
The first is popular with the women,
the second with most men, and the
third with but precious few of either
sex.
That the yield per acre on many
Michigan soils can be increased tremendously by the use of lime and
complete fertilizers is shown by figures recently given out by Dr. M. M.
McCool, head ofthe soils department
at the Michigan Agricultural college.
The figures are based upon extensive
tests carried out in different parts of
the state by the college soils specialists, and represents an accurate study
of average conditions.
In fertility tests carried out on
light soils In Southwestern Michigan
by Dr. McCool and G. M. Grantham,
the use of lime alone is found to increase the acre value of rye from
$19.75 to $37.25. The use of lime and
a high grade complete fertilizer in
the same series of tests increases the
acre value to $49.80. The complete
fertilizer used/was composed of fifty
pounds of nitrate of soda, applied at
the time of seeding, fifty pounds applied in the spring as a top dressing,
and two hundred and fifty pounds of
acid phosphate and one hundred
pounds' of potash applied to soy beans
the previous year-.
The typical heavy soils of Central
Michigan were also found to respond
well to treatment. Tests carried on
by Dr. McCool and C. E. Millar returned $16.20 per acre above the cost
of treatmnet when an application of
lime and acid phosphate costing $3
per acre was made, "Where lime, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash,
costing approximately $10 per acre
were used, the returns were $43.50 per
acre above the cost of treatment,
showing clearly the cash returns
from the use of proper fertilzers.
Information regarding fertilizers
and tests to determine the proper fertilizers for any soil may be had by-
writing to M. M. McCool, Soils Department, M. A. C, East Lansing.
