PRICES!
This is a subject that interests us all, and especially now in view of present conditions. We might
commence this week and keep our 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.

Body   of William  Lutzr War   Hei'i,
Buried With Military Honors
Sunday-
Tbe body of William B. Lutz, who
was killed in the "World war at the
battle of Fism.es early in the war
arrived in Saline from overseas on
Wednesday. He was given a military
funeral Sunday afternoon, about forty
of the local boys and members, of
thev American Legion of Ann Arbor
acting as pall bearers and escort.
Rev. W. H. Hoffman of Detroit
preached the funeral sermon and
Rev. W. J. Cross made the closing
prayer at the grave.
The services, which were very impressive, took place at the "cemetery
in the presence of nearly a theousand
people. As it was impossible for
many to hear Rev. Hoffman's eulogy
'of Mr. Lutz we give it in full below.
The life and career of David is one
of the entrancing romances of Js-
raelitish history. His fair and ruddy
childhood and youth, the rural scen-
eny that cast its charm around lis
boyhood days, the spectacular manner
in which God called him to public
life. His life, through many trying
vicissitudes, was ultimately successful because he was "not disobedient
to the heavenly vision that' marked
out his career in the days of ~his
youth.
Today we have .a striking evidence
how history often- repats itself thru
the cycles of human experience. The
life. and career, of a noble young
manhood is portrayed in bold relief
before this eomimunity in this nie-
njorial service. This life measured
by its years is brief and fleetinc.
Still how much has been accomplished, how it speaks to us in golden
memories, what ap influence; he being dead yet speaketii.
The childhood and youth of thU
young map was innocent .and pu§*v
He was governed by high and'nbblo
ideals. He valued life as a sacred"
trust from God—a talent, a privilege,
an opportunity, not to be squandered
■amd wasted, but to be used for a high
and rSsble purpose.
William Lutz spent much, of his
life amid these rural regions. Hid
home was upon the farm. He mingled among his young companions in
all their sports and amusements. The
bleating of tire sheep, the lowing of
the cattle, the, ever-changing scenery
of farm life were all familiar to him
and struck their pleasing harmonies
in his soul. He was respected apd
loved by everyone. This young hero
was inspired by worthy ambitions.
He identified himself with the
church, the Sabbath school and the
young peoples' society. He graduated at our high school and was eager
to complete his education in tho
higher schools of learning.
When Samuel, the prophet, looked
upon the youthful David he was
greatly impressed by . his striking
personality'. He saw before him a
youth who was living a clean and
noble life, and he gave God's blessing
upon the lad.
The young man whose memory we
honor today lived a life before this
community free from the sinful follies of youth, and cam§ to his death
without a smirch upon his fair
name and character. His encomium
is treasured in the hearts of all who
knew him.
Our love and tender affection for
William Lutz would have kept him
ever within the protection of the
home. Our esteem for this young
man, cjO.nside.red from a purely selfish view, wonld prompt us to have
him live within the narrowing confines of the community, so dear to
all the tender associations of his
young manhood. Today we realise
that God had need of William Lutz,
in the wider activities of the world,
and so there came to him a soul
awakening, a clear vision of coming
events, a crisis inj the world's civilization to which God seemed calling
him, and which, transformed this
quiet, pe^'eful country boy info the
hero and patriot that enabled Eini to
make the supreme" sacrifice to save
i^merica and make it ever impossible far1 tyrants to wantonly destroy
the world's civilization.
God's call to this young man came
with no imomentary ^inpulse, with no
emotional enthusiasm aroused by
.beating war>drums or patriotic appeal, but the deliberate offering of
himself to •"meet a .great «risis in the
world's history, -when others about
Jhim saw fllo occasion for alarm.
