With present price- prospects it
is indeed"' a bit discouraging' to* plan
the spring planting.
There are however some favorable factors. Seed is also..* cheaper
and labor is and will be much lower.
The farmer who uses good seed and
prepares the soil with care is going
to show a profit for the year.
It -may not be as large as-some
other years, but with the. land there
and "the equipment with whichv to
work it,# no farmer can afford to let
his'acres lie idle.
As in the past, to the farmer who
works hardest and gives his farming-
operations the most thought, will go
the greatest profit. *

picture,   "The    Third  Kiss,"    which
will he shown at the Liberty theatre
- , ■» .
Saturday, Viviam . Martin, universally admired little (star, shows how
an heiress iseeks to atone for a great
wrong wfiich-had been perpertrated
when a factory owned hy her deceased uncle, was destroyed by fire and
many girls burned tp death. The
catastrophe was due to her uncle's
criminal negligence in allowing the
exits of the building to hecome congested. * '
She gives up a' life of ease and
luxury and under an assumed name,
takes up Work among the friends of
the unfortunate ire victims, and de-
Votes her spare time in helping Rupert Bawlf, a young settlement worker, in" making life easier for them.
But Rupert secretly comes to love
Missy, as the little heiress is called
hy her friends, although he is married to a faithful and unsuspecting
wife. .How she finally hrings about
the' regeneration of Rupert and finds
happiness is said -to form one of the
most heautiful stories 'ever vizual-
ized on the screen. Robert G. Vig-
nola directed and an excelled cast
supported the star.
This is a subject that interests us all, and especially now in" view of present conditions. We might
commence thjs week and keep our ad filled each week
with cuts and prices, but itjs sufficient to say. that we
are reducing prices all along the line whether good in
stock or bought new, and will not be undersold by anybody. If we use too much space the customer has to
pay for it. A clean, straight business on fair profit.
Goods bought right can be sold right. The bigger the
business the less per cent of expense per dollar of sales.
FORTY-NINE years of treating the public right.

BUTLEIUYEDELE WEDDING.   -
Miss Mary Yedele of Saline and
John H. Butler were quietly married
at the home of the .groom in Simcoe,
Ont., Thursday evening, April 14. The
marriage was the" culmination of a
romance which started in Saline*
when both were young, and which
was interrupted hy a long period of
years, to 'be renewed but recently,
when both had passed the prime of
their lives.
Many years ago young Butler "left
Saline, and later there came an estrangement, Correspondence ceased, and in time Mr. Butler wooed and
married another woman. To them a
son was horn. This.son lost his life
in the World war. Later the mother
died.
Recently Mr. Butler, who is now a
prosperous photographer in Simcoe,
visited 'Saline and called on Miss
Yedele, who had never .been forgotten
hy liim, and the renewal acquaintanceship drifted swiftly into a renewed', .affection, the long-deferred
marriage resulting.—Ann Arbor
