NUMBER 26
HARDING
Is President
Some of us voted for him, some of
us voted for Cox.
No matter which way we happened to vote the fact remains that the
majority favored Harding.
So let's get behind our new president. Let's fbrg'et politics and return to the big job of putting business back upon a normal basis. *
The thing for each of us to do is
to work and save.

Who Doesn't Like Toast!
Almost everybody likes ,a couple of slices of
hot, buttery toast this - kind of weather. Of
course, there is toast^ and toast. And then there
is toast made from Schnebelt's Bread. That's the
kind of toast that has a rich golden brown crust,
tender and yet crispy and delicious; with "a heart
of soft, warm, spongy bread to .absorb the butter
-say, folks, isn't that the kind of toast you like?

Gentlemen—Inasmuch as the deep

of universal recognition throughout
the 'civilized world;
And inasmuch as the period of
Lent, and more especially that of
Holy Week, are ,- recognized by
Christiane everywhere as periods of
preparation for this signal event;
And inasmuch. as the observance
of Good Friday"- in commemoration
of the sufferings and death upon the
cross of Jesus Christ, the Savior of
the world,. is an open recognition of
the universal -and supremely important meaning of .His" mission for
all human kind, wherever sufch observance is practiced; ,
. And inasmuch as the custom of
such recognition has beome so widespread that last year, and previously, such civil communities as the
cities of Detroit and Ann Arbor
participated to Such a ^general extent that the majority of stores and
business places in these and other
centers closed their- dors for the
three-hour period from 12 until 4
in the afternoon, in order that in
addition to the silant tribute of stich
action opportunity mlight be afforded for worship in the several
churches  during  these  hours;
Iti is therefore (hereby ' requested
that your honorable "body' carefully
consider and take such subsequent
action (concerning this matter that
such a period.of, observance may be
offi'diaflfc- urged and recommended
in the village o£( Saline upon Good
Frilay, March" tjlie ttwenty-fifth

* Speaking of plans for the sale oi
the stamps, the local chairman, C
P.  Bayless,  said:
| "What Ave would like, of coures, ic
fjpr everybody in the country who
sends a letter through the mails to
s'ttek on the back of it a life savins
stamp.
."The best estimates • obtainable
Show that some 15,00,000,000 postage stamps are sold in the course of
a year in the United States. That
means that every man, woman and
child in the country uses on an average 150 postage stamps a year, and
will average about 12 each month,
during, which the starving millions
in north China must 'be fed from
outside sources until their next hardest in June enables them t.o. fend
for themselves.
" "Locally that means that in this
community of -1,000 people 12,000
TJjosta'ge - stamps %ftl*^n'-e— '-tSe'd^each"
month. If only we could sell a corresponding number of life saving
stamps. If everybody who mails a
letter would stick on the back of it
a* three-cent China life saving stamp
it would mean that this community
alone wpuld keep alive that nuirtber
of Chinese' for a single day in each
month. Or, putting it in. another
v/ay, and calculating that a dollar a
month would be sufficient to.feed a
hungry Chinese until his next harvest is ready, ,jt would mean that
the people of our community would
be. responsible for the saving of 375
lives."
