Farming
Town
The business of Saline is largely
distributing goods to the farmer.
The prosperity of the town de-
«. pends upon the prosperity *of the
farmer.
It is to the profit of Saline and to
the profit of this bank that we
should give first consideration to the
banking needs of the many farmers
who make Saline their trading center.
If you own or operate a farm near
Saline you will find it profitable to
do your business- at the Saline Savings 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, §jnd 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.

Last Legislature Disilngulshed Itselt
By the Passage of an Exceptional
V Educational Program.
BECENT MICHIGAN
SCHOOL LEGISLATION
The school laws of Michigan have
for many years been a piecemeal ar-
rangemsnt-because of the fact that
legislation lias heen passed from time
to time affecting various types cf
schools and as a result no uniformity
existed. A number of these, irregularities were cleared up by the los~
legislature, and following is a synopsis of the more important school laws
just passed: / .
1. The bonding laws were changed
so as to bring all districts under the
general school act and bonds are now
permitted to 'be levied for 15% 4>f
value and for over 30 years of time.
2. Other irrgularities were those
relating to school officers. These
were changed so as to make the offices uniform.
3. All special act township districts were brought under the general
law.
4- The township unit law was
changed very decidedly so as to clarify all points concerning it and make
it much simpler of operation.
*f. The law permitting the consolidation of rural schools was changed
in line with the experience of other
states and today we have probably
the best consolidated school law ia
th~i United States. The machinery *u>
simplified and all matters of friction
may be carried by appeals to the
State Department of Public Instruction. The state gives aid to these
districts on a basis of ?1,000 per
school and §400 per vehicle used in,
transportation.
6. School districts are now bsing
permitted to build and furnish teachers' homes. This .answers a real demand in the northern country and also in consolidated school districts.

now .pay the tuition of pupils ready
for high school to some neighboring
high school to cover the full per
capita cost of the school up to |P.r)
per year.
8. School officers are given the
right to raise money by taxation to
place schoolhouses. in safe and sanitary condition. "
9. Practically every child ip Michigan will now have a nine months
school, this being the minimum te^m
under the new law.
10. By 1925 all persons entering
the teaching profession in Michigan
must have at least one year of professional training above the four year
'high school course. This act also pro-

"Blind Hushauds Billed for the liberty Theatre Next Wednesday »
Evening. *
"Blind Husbands," an unusually
daring photodrama without the objection that generally attaches itself to
a courageous theme, will appear at
the Liberty Theatre next Wednesday
evening.
It is briefly the story of anegleeted
wife who almost overstepped the border of/discretion to satisfy her heart
fonging for affection.
Dr. Armstrong and his beautiful^
wife, Margaret, are sojourning at a
fashionable hotel in the Tyrolean
Alps. The physician is engrossed in
his professional interests and neglects
to demonstrate his affection for his
wife.
Lieutenant von Steuben, an Austrian
officer, arrives at the hotel and stalks
all womankind as a beast of prey
stalks game.
The climax shows the error of
indiscretion and awards a fitting
death to the villain.
Brie Stroheim, himself a former officer of the Austrian army, depicts the <
role of Lieutenant von Steuberit Fr*n-
celia Billingtoni supports him as Mai--
garet Armstrong. Th«| presentation of
"Blind Husbands" is enhanced by tlie
presence on the screen of such popular players as Sam^DeGrasse, H. G".b-
son-Gowland, Velerie Germonprez and
Jack Perrin.
In addition to a smashingly good
story, unsurpassed scenery, brilliart
dramatic situations apd praise-worthy
photographic effects contribute to the
value of the production.
Stroheim, the starring villafh, is
the author and the director of the
work.
"Blind Husbands'' is a photo-drama
that, will linger long in the memory.
