musical number has been placed at
fi5c for adults and 30c for children.
As these prices* will prevail for the

children.
SAPHO SACRIFICED PARISIAN
FAME FOB LOVE OF AN ARTIST
Pauline Frcderie Finely Draws Character in Remarkable Picture
"Sapho."
Made famous by a statue for which
she posed and by poems inspired by
her wonderful beauty, Daudet's famous character, "Sapho" voluntarily
chose to give up all the fame and notoriety which might have been hers
to live in semi-poverty for the sake
of Jean Gaussin, the young student
Pauline Frederick, in the Paramount adaptation pf the world famous
story which will be shown at tho.
Liberty Theatre Sunday evening, ha=
drawn a life-like portrait of this girl
uneducated, unrefined and yet the inspiration for some of the greatest
men and artists of the time. Wha'
was it that fascinated her admirers,
that brought all Paris to her feet—
and yet at the end drove her to leave
all splendor and luxury for the self-
sacrificing career of. a Red Cross
nurse? The answer will come to you
when you see the picture.

CHILD WELFARE
IN ALL PHASES
Parent-Teachers'   Association   to   be
Organized Monday Evening
On Monday evening, Oetober 20, at
S:00 o'clock there will be a joint
meeting of the teachers of the Saline
Union school and the parents o*"
children attending school in Salh:e,
at the school hall, for the purpose e'
organizing a Parent-Teachers' association.
The aim of the Parent-Teachers'
association is child welfare in al
rhases of child life. The home and
the seh'.ol are two very important
factors in the life of the child, and it
is imperative that these two factors
cooperate' for the child's welfare.
The Parent-Teachers' association
should provide for all the parents
such means of contact with the
school that they may be acquainted
with it in all of its aspects, that they
may be made conscious of their edu-
catio al resources and eq-.ally conscious of their duties and their responsibilities to their institution, that
-.hey may be actually and personally
eng.i&ed in many forms of activ'ty
for the betterment of the school, that
hoy may pers nially cooperate and
participate in the education of their
-■hi" dren.
A very profitable program is being
planned for the first meeting, consisting of music, remarks,   and  refreshments.   All parents who are interest-
d in the welfare of their boys and
iris are cordially invited to attend.

Good rains during the latter part of
September greatly improved seeding
conditions, benefitted wheat and rye
that had already been sown, revived
pastures, and increased the yield of
late potatoes and sugar baets, says
the joint report issued by Coleman* C.
Vaughan, secretary of state, and
Verne H. Church, field agent U. S. bureau of crop estimates. Seeding was
greatly hindered by the extreme dryness of the soil, and grain that was
sown prior to the rains was very
much in need of moisture to promote
satisfactory germination and growth.
Pastures had dried up in many sections of the state and farmers had
been compelled to resort to feeding
more or less dry feed. Late potatoes
have improved somewhat but the
rains arrived too late to make a full
crop. Notwithstanding the extreme
dryness of the season corn is an excellent crop. Beans are shownlg good
yields in the main bean counties of
the central and eastern districts.
The average yield of winter wheat
is 19.5 bushels as compared with 14
bushels last year and a ten-year average of 17 bushels per acre. The total production is estimated at 19,246,-
000 as compared with 10,010,000 last
year. The average yield of spring
wheat is 12 bushels per acre as compared with 18.1 last year.
Corn is a much better crop than
any since 1910, notwithstanding tha
dry summer and the damage it caused
in some localities. The condition is
SS per cent, which is equivalent to 37
bushels per acre, or a total production of 03,159,000. As 40 per cent of
the acreage is usually utilized for
"silage purposes, the net _raln production is placed at 37,S95,000 bushels.
The average yield of oats is 24.4
bushels per acre, giving a total production of 38,0*0,000 bushels, which
is the smallest production since 1907.
The condition of buckwheat is 75
per cent, representing a total production of 759,000 bushels from the
52,000 acres planted.
The potato crop shows some improvement since the recent rains, but
only G6 per cent of a crop is expected.
This represents a production of 2S,-
571,000 bushels, as compared with 26,-
560,000 last year.. The quality of the
crop is generally good and digging
has commenced in some sections.
The indicated yield of clover seed
is 1.72 bushels per acre, as compared
with 1.30 last year. The acreage is
small but the yield and quality are
good.
The apple crop is 37 per cent of
normal as compared with 62 per cent
last year; the greater part of it is in
commercial orchards in the western
counties, particularly from Oceana
county north to Traverse City. A
good crop is .also reported from portions of the upper peninsula. Grapes
were unusually fine in quality and
there was practically a full crop.
Pears are 62 per cent of a crop, two
per cent better than last year.0

Faced by the task of selling over-
15,000,000 Red Cross Christmas seals,
.he Michigan Anti-tuberculosis ass>
ciation is reviewing what has been
•ccomplished in fighting the white
plague in Michigan during the com-
parafvely short period of its exis-
ien c.
When t..e state csso2iallon was organized    about   a  dxzen   years   ago
he.e were no op3n-air schools In
Michigan, no local sanatoria, a 'scattering   few   public   health nurses, no
ree clinics even thought of, no local
tuberculosis societies.
Today praet'cally all the princi. a."
•Hies in the state have at least ona
men-air school, and many have sev-
ral.   Scores of placrs have regularly
onducted clinics. Sanat.ria a:e increasing even in some of the smaller
:ities. Many counties have public
'lealth nurses, and scores of them are
mployed in the cities of Mi**h"gan
About   two-thirds of the counties   of
he state are completely organized
"'or fighting tuberculosis.
But in spite of the progress that
has been made, the means for coping
with tuberculosis in Michigan are
still grossly inadequate when compared with the extent of the disease. A
;onservative estimate places the number of people in Michigan sick with
tuberculosis at 25.C00. Last year
nearly 3,000 died of it.
To meet the situafon adequately
much more needs to be done than has
so far been attempted. That is why
the state association has set itself the
task of selling over 15,000,000 Red
Cross seals this coming December. It
is a task that at the beginning of the
association's career would have bean
laughed at as imi-iossible; but interest
in the work has been growing rapidly,
and this year it seems likely that the
task will be accomplished.
