Everything Breaking Lovely for Saline's Bepreseutative Teams.
The Orange, and Black team is going along nicely and improving steads*,
ily. An encouraging-feature-is the
improvement shown in their defensive play.
To elate the boys have won four
and lost three games, two of the de-s
feats being by teams composed of
college players of several years experience who practice^every day and
are in the hands of the best coaches
available. Defeat yy such teams cani
not be oons&dered a discredit to our
team. The other defeat, received at
the hands of Dexter, the boys are reluctant to accept as such,, considering the conditions under which the
game was playedu "When questioned
as^p the result qf that game the
boys all answer the same" way, which
is, "If we ever play them again you
will get your answer."
/The treatment oar boys received at
Milan could, not have been better.
Everyone was satisfied and the boys
took the defeat* without a word uttered against the winners. But. they
promise a defferent result at the opera house tonight,- when a" return
game will be played.
Last Thursday night the Orange
and B?ack defeated the Apex team of
Detroit, at Detroit, by the one-sided
score of 35 to 4. Our boyst played a
fast game and kept the Apex members on the defensive throughout tlhe
entire contest, Apex ■''having only a
few shots at their basket during the
evening, and only avoided a shut-out
by scoring in the last,few minutes of
play. Following is the lineup and

Initial Work for- Maturing Plans
StattfPark in Irish Hills Be-
gion Commenced ~
Of
Some months ago members of the
Michigan State Park commission
visited',Leaawee county with the idea
of finding a suitable site for a public park. They were taken to the
Irish Hills by Lenawae county residents and w;ere shown the beautiful
regions in the lake district. They
marveled and were astonished that
such real and natural beauty existed
in Southern Michigan, JThey weie
entBusiastic over the prospects of a
public park in that wonderful region, and now actual work upon the
project has commenced.
A park, such as contemplated by
the commission, will be a drawing
card for Lenawee's lake" region. Automobile tourists from all over the
land will seek !the <somforts and
beauty of the Park for a rest from
travel and the people of Lenawee
will also have the privileges of the
camping and picnic places. _
Jn regard to the preliminary work
the Clinton Locals published the following: ~-       »
"Wencel L. Cuseriski, state, engineer for the Michigan State Park
commisision, is here this week surveying the land in the vicinity of
Raund lake, where the proposed
site of the state park is to be loeuted.
His purpose in surveying the
grounds is to determine how much
land will be necessary to develop
drives to the hill |tops^ grading them
fo that no abrupt rises will be encountered'.
"The park will be situated at the
-intersecting corners of three comities—Lenawee, Washtenaw and, Jackson. Cucerski could not state what
the iexact acreage of the park.
He said similar parks in Michigan
raqged from 40 to 500 acres, and
this would be among iihte largest in
the state.
"Mr. Cucerski w'ent on to describe
the natural advantages of this site,
■such as elevation, the many picturesque lakes, the woods; and the
marshy low lands for the preservation of game. The park bejng situated on the Chicago-Detroit* turnpike, it would draw many people
from these two large cities and intervening points.
"The engineer stated that drives
would be developed so the park
would be accessible to the public
Jhe~ first year, and further developments, such as comfort stations,
damping spats, bathing facilities
and lockers, benches and tables foy
picnickers, trails, walks, etc., would
depend upon the patronage. He al-
fb spoke of the interest and pleasure
this would afford the people of the
vicinity in watehtag the park develop from year to year.
"The state pays nothing • towards
the purchaseing of tlhe land, this
money being raisea*. entirely from
donations! but as soon as money^eaa
be raised, the state park commission
makes all the innprovements.
"Mr. Cucerski has been actively
engaged in -the developing at state
parks in various parts of the. country for the past ,25. years, and he
said that Michigan bias the great-;
est natural advantages for parks of
any state, and the site he is now
working ' is one of the finest in
Michigan."
POOB BOB WHITE.
Why do we so ruthlessly destroy
the quail? aslca" an exchange.
The next time you kill one. take
him in your hand a minute and think
of the appealing little eulogy a friend
of the quail once wrote:—
"Here lies the pitiful remains ;of
the farmers' ally -and friend—-poor
Bob White! In life hevdevoured .145
different kinds of bad" insects and the
seeds of 129 noxious Weeds daily. For
the smaller pests of the farm he was
the most marv,eIous engine<o£ degtrucr
tion God ever put together of- flesh
and blood. He was good, beautiful,
game and true; and his small life
was blameless. And here he lies
dead,1 snatched away from his field of
labor and destroyed that I may have
a little sport!" Arid then go and try
to wipe out the rest of the covey.
