There is this much to the
luck part of it. Good things
may come your way by mere
chance, you nlay hear of them
by pure accident. This part of
it may be luck.
But if you are not the one to
grab and develop a good idea,
then luck will not help you.
The Saline Savings Bank can
assis you in developing a good
and legitimate idea or'enterprise.

In connection; with the appearanse
here on. !the Lyceum course Monday evening December 1, of the Dunbar Male Quartet audi Bell Ringers,
it Is interesting to note that the art
of bell ringing was brought tj
America first, in the 40's, by the
late P.. T. Barnum.
While touring England he heard a
group of church bell ringerss prac-
itiljing upon hand bells and he eon-,
ceived the idea of using a- large
lieal of bells and playing more elaborate   music.
These bells were made in Eng.-
landK as the world's best bells always
have heen. but in conformity with
the great showman's unfailing* originality as an advertiser, he dressed
the players, both men and women,
in the costumes of Swiss peasants,
and called the company "Swiss Bell
Bangers/' Por many years this company toured the United. States in
wagons before railroads wore at all
general. The art at that time wsW
so successful that our grandfathers
recall most vivid'y the visit of the
Swiss Bell Ringers to their native
'owns. After Mr. Barnum the art
if bell ringing was not revived in
any worthy way until 1S9S, when
Ralph Dunbar and his brother, Harry, founded the famous Dunbar Bell
Ringers.
Ralph and Harry Dunbar continued with this -company  until  1E12.
The company which will appear
here was-organized by Ralph Dunbar
and is most worthy to hear the Dunbar name.

You can have them taken night or day.
That the 'financial conditions in
Saline and vicinity are not disturbing
the people of this, locality is evident
from the deposits, both corrcuercial
and savings, in the banks of this vil-
•age. Figures taken "from the published statements of these institutions
'n this issue called for by the state
banking department speak-* in unmis-
ta.ka.ble terms of the general prosperity enjoyed in this community.
The combined figures in these s'ate-
meaits are interesting. When eom-
T/ared with those of the banks of other
'owns of equal size their importance
becomes more significant.
The combined capital, surplus and
undivided profits of .the itwo institutions is $149,750.44, and their coi.lhined
resources is §1,307.6241.23. The two
banks are cawying savings accounts
which amount to $7S1,3S9.4S. and
their deposits subject to check are
!j312,S63.11, making their total deposits  equal  §1.094,252.59.
When analyzed these figures give
unmistakable evidence of thrift and
industry. The savings deposits represent the surplus accumulations which
have been laid away for the proverbial "rainy day." They show a desire
for financial independence on the part
of the men, women .and children
whose deposits they represent. They
are evidence of stability.
The commercial deposits are tlie
amount of money in the local banks
subject to check. It represents the
amount of money upon which business men and farmers are doing business.
One of the interesting features of
the local; banking business is the fact
that practically all of the money
leaned by the banks on real estate,
mortgages and promissory notes,
backed by ample security, has been
again invested iu this territory and
shows progress and a consuming desire for achievement.
There is no more interesting reading than the financial statements of
our local banks.

DUNBAR QUARTETTE.
For many years a Dunbar Quartette
and Bell Ringers company was oue of
the most popular of Chautauqua and
Lyceum organizations. The present
company was organized by Ralph Dunbar of the original Bell Ringers and
is most worthy to bear tlie Dunbar
name. The members of the Dunbars
appear in solos,. quartettes and readings and carry 150 hand bells upon
which are played some of tho best
overtures and solo numbers. In order
to secure au especially high quality of
talent the singers have all been given
a four-year contract.
In selecting the repertoire of the
Dunbars due attention is paid to the
selection of music: which is really appropriate -for bells. There is none of
us but what has thought of the important place which bells play in our
mental activities due to their associa- j
tion with so many epoch-making-:
events in our lives.   Perhaps no eon-,
«"     V ■*   9"        'J.
M*y
iribntor to our literature has so vividly brought out this fanciful use of
bells as has Edgard Allen Poe in his
poem entitled "The IJells."
Tlie feature which characterizes the
prf.rrams of the Dunbar Quartette is
thv :-.!*"v-:-!t!le blending of their selec-
lU-.na hito a complete whole. There is
,t eoi'sistcii'-y in these programs which
has distinguished them among all the
Lycvum and Chautauqua attractions
of the hut double decade. No feature
wiil be reinwincred longer than the
beautiful chime:*, and'harmonies which
are introduced in their sacred selections. Their original transcription In
which are heard excerpts of beautiful
songs sung by the players accompanied
hy the bells will be counted by many
the most beautiful music they have
ever heard. The young men introduce
a sufficient amount of humor to leaven
.he program properly and to sustain
■;•« reputation long held by the Dun-

Michigan will have the largest state
exhibit of farm! products at the first
international May and Grain Show,

i ember 6. Th.. grain show, which
wi I be. held at the same t*"me as the
;.ni-.uai livestock sho*..*, will, be the
bsg_*est thins of its kind in the country, til r. iddle western states and
many Canadian provinces being represented. Michigan has been .alloted
more show space than any other state
md her educational exhibit will be
the feaibure of the show.
The Michigan Crop Improvement
association, the Michigan Fotato
Growers association, and the Michigan Agricultural college 'are cc-Dper-
atlng in Ithe state exhibit. In addition -many of the leading farmers cf
the state have entered private show
samples in competition for the prizes
offered on the §10,000 premium list.
"The state exhibit will feature
Michigan's seed industries, showing
the highly diversified seed production
of the state," says Prof. J. F. Cox,
farm crops specialist at the Michi-
saji Agricultural college. "The exhibit will pay especial attention to
!he prciluetion of pedigreed seed, in
which field Michigan is a recognized
leader."
