Do You Like Good Bread?
This question is always answered in the affirmative by every housewife, business man and
child. It is surely appreciated when mother giyes
them & big* slice of bread and butter. The more
they eat the more they want.
But let them eat all they want of it. It's
wholesome, nourishing and good for them when

Schnebelt's Bakery
"The Virgin of Stamboul," a mas-
ter-£sature produced by Universal-
Jewel, with Priscilla'Deau" as the
star, and directed by Tod Browning,
is the announcement 'for Saturday
and Sunday at the Liberty theatre,
which 'has aroused such unusual interest among the theatregoers of
this place.
"The Virgin of Stamboul" is heralded as one of the important pheto-
•productions of the year, presented in
a big way. It unfolds the life of the
mysterious East and .reveals tha customs of the Turk and the Arab, from
the mosque at Constantinople to ihe
great Arabian dessert. It lays' open
the heart of. Stamboul with its filth
und wretchedness, its sin and iniquity. It leads through the door of the-
sacred .temple, through the forbidden
portals of the ha,rem, through the
vast stretches :of the arid waste.
It shows what happened when a
beautiful beggar girl, Sari, turned
her footsteps towards the mosque,
there to lift her voice in supplication
ta a God she had never known before.
What she saw as she knelt there, her
eyes lilted to Allah, will maike the
blood of the bravev.t man boil, and is
the beginning of a fusillade -of tense
situations following eacli other with
machine gun-like rirpidity.
Whole streets and sections of Stamboul, "the wic'kedest city in the East,"
have been reproduced for this production, and many weeks were spent on
the desert for certain scenes in this
photodrama.
The role of Sari is one which gives
Priscilla Dean greater opportunity
than she has ever had before, having
been, written especially .for her by H.
H. Van Loan. Wheeler Oakman as
the captain of the Black Horse
Troop,.-Wallaee-BeeaT'as-tErsHgiTc,"En
A. Warren as Yussef Bey, Edward
Burns as the young American tourist,
Nigel .de Braillier as the Arabian
chief, Eugenie Forde as the mother,
Ethel Ritchie as the favorite of the
harem and thousands of others contribute to the success of tihis master-
feature.
County Fail' Notes
The revival of the County Fair is i
certainly a most welcome step fcr-
! ward for Washtenaw. The manage-
| ment has been able to overcome
what may readily be seen to be almost unsurmountable obstacle^. While
it is necessary io have ail exhibits
ir temporary quarters the arrangements are very satisfactory and need
deter no one from exhibiting. The
■women's fancy-works Jiiid the school
exhibits) of the country! II be nonsod
iu the log cabin \ylueh provides
ample space and perfect safety.
Mrs. L. A. Seamans,, superintendent
o! the needlework dopartiaoii*. reports great interest among the ladies
of the county and expects big displays in these lines.
A number of farm organizations
have entered the club exhibits.-
These are one of the best features of
a fair and always interesting. The
boys and girls club work is a big
feature of fairdom and the Washtenaw exhibits should give good evidence of the high elass work started
here by Mr. Lyons before his death.
The fruit, grain, vegetable and
honey departments all promise exhibits worthy of the great Industries
they represent and the farmers
should recognize, the great advertising value of a good show in these
classes.
Early entei-ies of live stock indicate that the new fair is hot after
their neighbors laurels' fcr a good
stock show. Every breed in the
county will be represented by their
best.
Last year's poultry show was equal
to any in the state. This year promises to surpass that in  many years.
The County Farm Bureau will occupy a large tent -with a line instructive exhibit of farm business; methods.

children's day is the .yroatesit    event
SCHAIRER   FAMILY   REUNION
V
A very happy faniily reunion ai;
birthday party was enjoyed at the
old home of the late George Schairer,
Monday afternoon and evening, at
which Miss Bertha Schairer was the
hostess. D. F. Scihairer of Ann
Arbor, uncle of the hostess, celebrated his seventieth birthday anniversary
The house was beautifully decorated
with flowers and ferns, and
covers were laid tor thirteen. The
guest of honor was D. F. Schairer,
an uncle of the hostess, and Mr. and
Mrs. Grant Schairer, cousins, and
Miss Eva Schairer, sister, to the
hostess, of Ann Arbor, Dr. Waldo
Scihairer of Rochester, N. Y., Mrs.
Eunice Stanfer of Oak Park, 111.,
Mrs. Sarah E, Giffert of Palm Beach,
Florida, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Krause,
and Mi-, and Mrs. W. W. Huelster of
Grand Rapids, the ladies all aunts
of the hostess..
A MAN'S JOB.
The fellows who -kee-p Hooding the
country editor's mall with free publicity stuff don't know that the country editor has a trash basket bigger'n.
all git-out. The cute city feller who
thinks the country newspaper man is
just dying for easy copy Is hitting
only on the one cylinder. Getting
out a country paper these days is a
man's job and the editor hustles for*
j c.ipy same as the city editor d es.
IF all the cheap space grafters from
the big towns knew this their press
agents would be hunting new jobs.—

AUCTION SALE
E. W. Hunt will sell at auction on
the premises, 200 South Ann Arbor

Saturday, September IS, 1920    ,
at   2   o'clock   p.   in.,  the  following
household goods:

fail- is the big thing, the amusement
and entertainment part will not be
neglected. Each day is a special
day with special music, special programs and special fire works. There
will be a niierrygoround, ferris wheel,
whip, dance hall, shows, and numeral i lunch joints, dinning hall serving regular    meals    and   plenty    of
,-games. The entire fair program
will be "topped off," with a fiin program of big free attractions. It is
up to every citizen of the county to
boost the-Big County Fair and be a
factor in. its success.
The Washtenaw County Farm Bureau will be represented at the County Fair next week. A great tent,
S0x30 feet will be placed advantag-
ously for the Farm Bureau exhibit
and here county people and townspeople alike will find not only exhibits of beauty and interest but a
great store of information graphically illustrated, such information as
both producer and consumer should
have.
• As never before residents of town
and country are realizing their interdependence. When the city rej-
idents realize all the expenses and
labor invested in what the •producer
offers he will be the more willing to
pay the fair prices. When he realizes how much more of this expense
is involved in getting the products
from their starting point to the ultimate consumer, he will be more
willing to cooperate in measures
aiming to lessen that expense.
The exhibit to be made by the
fair will cover much of this ground
and cover it in such a manner as to
entertain as  well as instruct.
The man who thinks the country is
being run just as good as he could
run it himself can be safely classed
as a conservative.
The Boys' and Girls' Club work,
though sadly interrupted by the
death of E. F. Lyons, superintendent,
will nevertheless be well represented at the Fair. Mr. Ray Baylis of
Webster township, has stepped Into
the breach and will see that the
club members get their products together and aid them in arranging
their exhibits. This will be one of
the most interesting features on the
Fair grounds, since it will be a
demonstration of the department of
Farm Bureau work which most nearly concerns home life of the rural
committees and- is reaching far into
the future, through the boys and
girls of the farm.
By all means visit the Farm Bureau tent on the fair grounds.
Beauty is only skin deep-^and most
of the pretty girls haven't much
depth. s
WALLACE WATT NEW COM-
MUNITY BOARD SECRETARY j
At a special meeting -of the Washtenaw County Community Board held
Friday Wallace Watt of Ann Arbor
was made permanent secretary of the
board to take the place of Bay E.
Bassett, who for the past fourteen
months has been organizing the work
of Community Service in the county.
The expense of organization during
the past fourteen months has been
borne by the state commission thru
Community Service (incorporated) of
New York whicli was- invited into
Michigan to organize Community Service according to the state law as
passed by the 1919 legislature. Mr.
Bassett has been employed by Community Service (incorporated) and
the entire expense up to date has
been borne by that organization. Mr.
Bassett working in connection with
the county board has succeeded in
getting tlie organization of community councils in the nine districts of
the county fairly under way and
numerous activities! have been conducted which include the planning
and arranging of the program, in connection with the Victory Day celebration given the ex-service men a year
ago at the county fair by the boaad
of supervisors; also the county entertainment series which was given in
the rural communities of the county
during the winter. The county board
office is alsj the official aigent for
comriling the individual military
service records of ex-servlee men of
tills county. This compilation, it is
hoped, will be completed within another month. The final activity under iMr. Bassett's direction was the
County Community picnic which was
held at Whitmore laite September 1.
From now on the expenses of the
oi'.ice will be met by -funds from this
county. Already some funds have
been procured for the board of super-
\ isors will approve an appropriation at its fall meeting to cover certain necessary expenses in connects th this public welfare work.
.-Wallace Watt*has for several,years
been deeply interested in social and
emmunity welfare work.

Michigan Public Domain commission
p,t Lansing. Hunting will be permitted in both peninsulas.

days. The reduction of 10 days is
said by the comniissiion to have beeo
made at the suggestion of hunters as
well as boards of supervisors.

be possible for hunters1 to spend the
Whole season in the woods and be
home in time for Thanksgiving din

BED CROSS HEALTH CENTER.
The Red Cross Health Center is
just what its nature implies—-a voluntary local health agency established, maintained and operated by the
Red Cross Chapter or - Branch. It
does not attempt to treat or to cure
disease; hence, at is not a hospital,
it does not give out any drugs; hence,
it is not a dispensary. It is not solely or primarily interested even in
the diagnosis of disease; hencft the
Bed Cross Health Center is not merely a eliniic or a collection of clinics.
The Bed Cross Health Center is a
beparate and distinct health promotion agency. Its -primary function is
to teach well people how to keep
well. It gives out information on
how people should prevent disease,
how they should protect themselves
tiid others against disease, why tiicy
should avail themselves of medical
advice and treatment. The Red
Cross Health Center is for the physical life and development of foliis
what the church is for tiheir spiritual life and .development, and ihe
school for their mental life and development. The Red Cross Health
Center promotes a healthy environment and a healthy body, the bi.sie
material for a healthy mind and a
healthy spirit.
The organization of Red Cr ss
health service has been welcomed
as a stimulating supplement! _ig
and coordinating influence in the
public health field. If it is ever to
become such a potent influence, it
can become so only by undertaking
health work in its most element ry
forms, by using the simplest mea.is
and methods till at will interest and
inspire because of their very simplicity, by performing the most :m-
vious tasks that are usually overlooked because they are so obvious.
The rules of professional hygiuie
are simple, rules. The methods of
prevention and protection are simple
methods. Tihe people who need to
learn these rules and .methods should
be; -treated-simply as folks. The
health forces that are to work together in any community should simply work togetlher. Health work
should be play work, play work
should be team work. Health wcrk
should be a pleasant, exhilarating
exercise. Health work should be
healthy work.
The Red Cross Health Center it a
simple institution teaching simple
things in simple language by simple
methods. It- proceeds upon the belief that no normal person deliberately chooses to be weak or sick, or
die an untimely death; 'that no normal person wants his children, relatives, friends and neighbors to be
weak, or sick, or to die an untimely
death. It believes that people naturally want to be well, strong and
happy, and that they want their
children to be hale and hearty. It
believes, therefore, that as people
have learned to appreciate the value
of doctors, drug stores, and hospitals,
so they will learn to appreciate the
value of health centers.
The Red Cross Center deals in
health  as a commodity that ca» be
