A Century's
Growth
One hundred and four years ago
the first Savings Bank in America

been truly wonderful-
Today not a person in the United
States but lives within driving distance pf a good bank.
THE SALINE SAVINGS BANK
is a part of this comprehensive system. It serves Saline and the surrounding territory faithfully and
well.
You tan do no better than to deposit your dollars in this good bank.

ICES!
This is a subject that interests us all, and especially now in view of present conditions. We might
commence this week and keep cur ad filled each week
with cuts and prices, but it is 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.

IT'S EASY ENOUGH
to say "Sehnebelt's Home Made Bread is the
best bread"—but it takes old Mr. J. P. Quality to convince anybody that it's the truth!
From the way|our sales are increasing, it
looks as though Sehnebelt's Home Made Bread
were a pretty gooif convinced At least, we
haven't heard of -anybody trying Sehnebelt's

The Federated Church
W. J. Gross, Pastor.
Last Sunday wias a fine day" as to
weather and just as fine as to attendance at church and Sunday school.
The largest audience Sunday morning
that has greeted the present pastor
since coming to Saline, and the largest Sunday school made it a day of
special encouragement. The Sunday
school was well up to the 125 mart
and the splendid thing about it is the
attendance of young people. The
pastor's class numbered 32 young
men and Miss Morden's class of
young women 28. These with vary
few exceptions are all members of
our own Baptist and Presbyterian
families. Mention should be made of
Mrs. Wallace's women's Bible class,
which has a regular membership cf
about twenty, and was full size last
Sunday. Miss Smith is also rejoicing
at the unusually large number at the
junior service.
The membership contest between
the young men's class andi the young
women's ended last Sunday in favor
of the young men. The race was very
close, the young 'men winning by only
six. The young women made them go
some to win. We are looking forward
to that feed which is t'he penalty of
losing.
Mrs. Sellen and Mrs. Henne have
turned ira the money collected for the
suffering Armenians, $102 having
been collected. This with §104 previously contributed to other famine
sufferers and over $300 given to missions,' mates our total gifts to objects
outside our local church, more than
$500.
Eight delegates were elected to attend the Baptist county convention,
being held this week in Ypsilanti.
A week from next Sunday a reception jaervice for new members "will
be held. A few of our young people
will unite with the ^church.
Worship Sunday-10 ia. m. and 7:30
p. nr. Sunday school 11:30. Thursday Bible study and prayer 7:30 p. m.
A welcome for all.
Detroit,  April  21,  1921
Editor of Observer:
I feel quite sure I have an item of
news that will be of interest to the
■people of Saline. .
I ha,ve recently had the opportunity
of attending a meeting of the Detroii
Presbytery and as I glanced over the
company of my brethren1, I recognized on the opposite side of the
church the bright and cheering face
of the Rev. Thomar Leith, so well
and favorably known in Saline.
The business of the Presbytery had
not gone far when a motion was
made, that the Presbyterian church
of Milan be permitted to change its
mame to the People's Church1 of Milan. Our good,, brother then rose am!
introduced a delegation of christian
men from the various churches of
Milan strongly advocating a closer
federation of the churches. They
said this feeling predominated among
the people generally and if any
would take the lead and broaden
out its fellowship, so as to include
all evengelical christians, other
churches would cooperate and thu
much desired unity would be accomplished. Rev. Leith in hearty sympathy with such a movement, proved
himself the man of the hour, the very
one for such a leadership. And so
with the same impelling zeal with
which he inspired the christians of
Saline to build new temple of worship
he has now launched a movement in
Milan that gives promise of wiping
out denominational narrowness and
bigotry and promoting a brotherhood
that will bring .all christians more
closely to Christ.
These representative churchmen
made it clearly understood that this
community movement should be definitely inu touch .witl* .som.e.-fivaiige"',-,
ic'al organization that would safeguard the interest of all along the
broad lines of christian fellowship.
They didn't wish to form a local
community church independent of
all ecclesiastical affiliations, the prey
too often of traveling montdbants
and fanatical tramps, who with glib
tongue, find occasion to spread their
deceptive and erratic notions.
It is encouraging to note all these
various effects to "bring christian-:
into closer fellowship. The tendency
is to discard rationalistic liberalism
and emphiasize the great cardinal
doctrines of Christianity upon which
there is esential agreement among
all christians, the deity and leadership of Christ the supreme authority
of the scriptures, the regenerating
and sanctifying wort of the Holy
Spirit and the common brotherhood
of all the followers of Christ.
W. H. Hoffman.
Two years ago Dr. Theodore S.
Rich, director of tuberculosis eradication of the state department of animal industry, predicted that by 1921
entire counties would apply to place
their cattle under state and federal
supervision for the purpose of wiping
out tuberculosis and obtaining ""neal-
thy herds. At that time individual
herd owners were beginning to demand the test.
Within the past few weeks Dr.
Rich's prophecy has1 come" true: Supervisors of Jackson county have
appropriated $5,000 to cooperate with
the division of animal industry—
now a branch of the new. state department of agriculture—in eradicating .bovine tuberoulosis in that coun-
t y, while Wayne and Hillsdale county supervisors have each appropriat-
ted $3,500 for a similar purpose,
ed $3,500 for a similar purpose.
Traverse, * and Go,gebec counties have
also made appropriations.
Early in the year the tuberculin
testing of cattle in Livingston county
was begun, with the result that up
to April 1, 500 herds—composing
more than 6,000 cattle—were tested
end placed under state and federal
supervision. But 2 per cent of the
6,000 herd were "reactors"' -^-declared to be an exceptionally low
percentage, since on the average
about 5 out of every 100 cattle in
Michigan are tuberculosis. People
are now being urged to use milk
from herds that have been, government tested and shown free from
disease.
Need for the combined effort of all
organizations and agencies in fighting tuberculosis of every form is
shown, according to officials of the
state department of health, by the
increase of 491 reported .dases of tuberculosis among' humans "during" the
first quarter of 1921 over the same
period of 1920, Recent governmental studies have proved that 25 per
cent of tuberculosis individuals receive their infection from bovine
sources.

Anna Katharina, daughter of John
and Anna Genter, was born August
16, 1848, at Beiengen, Wurtemberg.
She came with her family to New
York in tlie spring of 1850, and to
Ann Arbor in September of the same
year. She was married to Albert
Blaess in November, 1868, and to this
union six children were born, ;all of
whom survive her, viz.: Charles A.,
of Clinton, Wis.; August F., of Chicago, 111.; Max A. and Emma E., of
Saline; Matie B. Wood, of Douglas,
Wyo., and Mathilda B. Mummery, of
Ann: Arbor.
In February, 1877, her husband
purchased the place known as the
Capt. Lowrey farm in Lodi, where he
brought his family to live and developed one of the finest country homes
in this section. Here she continued
•to live until two years after her husband's death, which occurred in the
summer of 1911. She then moved to
her home on East Henry street in Saline. At the latter place she spent
her remaining years comforted and
cared for by her faithful daughter,
Emma. For the last year and a half
her health had been gradually failing and about a week before her
death she suffered a paralytic stroke,
from which she failed to rally and id"
the early morning Iiours of April 20,
1921, she peacefully slept to eternal
rest.

South-west Michigan
gets worst oe frost
Last  Week's   Freeze   Ruins  Part  of
Fruit Crop, According to M. A.
C. Reports.
Ea;st Lansing, April 25, 1921
South Western Michigan stood the
brunt of the state's fruit loss in last
week's freeze, according to reports
from over the state which have been
gathered by the horticultural department at M. A. C. Severe damage to certain crops is noted from
this section, particularly in Berrein
county, while .reports from the
northern part of the state indicate
but slight loss to cherries and apples there.
Good news for lovers of a "sputtering .row" of apples by the fireside is contained in tlie report from
the college that winter varieties of
apples, over the entire state, snow
only slight damage. In fact.". late
varieties in .general seem to have
escaped the ravages of the April
freeze.
An estimate on the damage caused
in the South Western sections places the grape loss at about 80 per
cent; cherries at 85 per cent; and
pears at 25 per cent, while early
plums are reported as practically
wiped out for this year. But little
injury to small fruits is reported
from the section; however.
