At the Liberty theatre last Thurs- |
day  evening a meeting was  held  of I
the members of the Saline Mercantile i
Company to consider matters of vital
importance to this organization.
The Saline Mercantile Company is
a nourishing one, already owning andj
operating a large elevator and doing]
business on a oi'g scale. The major- j
ity of the stockholders at the meeting
expressed themselves as in favor cf!
extending the business io cover new |
lines, which would involve the use of j
much more capital.
The   proposition   before   them   w&s ;
the purchase of P. D. Ford's real es- j
tate, lumber business  and store.    It!
was explained that Mr. Ford, having !
acquired a competence, wishes to retire   from    business    and,   -having  a
friendly   feeling   for   the   Mer.canti'e
Company, and   desiring   to see them
have  the property,   has  offered  it  t)
them on 'advantageous terms.
The matter was discussed at some
length and a vote taken. Though
there was a large attendance, and th->
majority favored the proposition, the
opposition was sufficient to prevent
the two-thirds vote necessary, so the
matter was laid upon ths table until
tonight, when an adjourned meeting
is  to be held.
The same disposition was made of
a proposition to so amend the bylaws as to increase the limit of individual stockholders from a -possible
$500 to a possible $1,000- or, from
five shares to ten shares.
The Mercantile Company desires to
join the Elevator Exchange and had
invited Robert J. Wiley, promoter of
the Exchange, to address the meeting
on the subject. In the meantime,
however, they had found, much to
their disappointment, that they ate
organized under an act which does
not permit of such federation. They
are- .organized^-as. a 'Straight-sto-sk-l
company.
Mr. "Wlilejr assured them that he
would take the matter up with the
attorney general and that he thought
in time he could have It so adiusted
as to permit of their federation. He
would certainly try hard, as they
wanted the Saline  folks with them.
Mr. Wiley briefly outlined some o"
the things the Exchange is accomplishing and the methods followed.
They absolutely agree to market afl
grain and beans   entrusted  to   them

was highly elated over the idea that
he had "put it over" on the Exchange
and would be able to boast of h*s su-

was great, however, when he learned
that he 'had been selling, in every
instance, at a price bellow what the

THANKSGIVING  ^PROCLAMATION
By the GOVERNOR
•'Praise  waiteth  for  thee,  O God,   in

vow be performed.

The    pastures     are    clothed     with
(locks-;  the    valleys   -also    are
covered  over  wjith    corn;  they
shout for joy, they also sing."
Following  the  custom    established
by our forefathers nearly three hundred years aigo, it is entirely fitting
that we should set apart one day in
the year as Thanksgiving Day.
Yfe have gathered this year a mast

work to do and the will to do it, the
i>t'jple of Michigan may well give
thanks -and make solemn and public
acknowledgement of their debt to the
Mcst High.
Therefore,  I,  ALBERT  B.   SLEEP-
3R, Governor of the  State of Michigan,  do hereby join the President of
the United States in designating
"Thursday, November 25th

Even Poultry Hare "T-B"
That even chickens are subject to
tubercoulisis i3 a fact known to
comparatively few people, but according to the state livestock commission there is a good deal of the disease among flocks of 'Michigan poultry. And the tuberculosis tliat decim-
eats poultry Is exactly the same as
the disease that kills people.
More familiar to the average person is tubercuolis in cattle. Many
cities have milk ordinances designed
to protect the cities against tuberculosis -infected milk. The state
livestock commission and the state
department of health are cooperating in an attempt to curb the disease among cattle of the state, because it is a source of very real
danger to children who drink infected mjilk.
The Michigan Anti-tuberculosis
Association, through the modern
health crusade and other agencies,
is' doing all in its -power to protect
the childhood of Michigan against
tuberculosis. It is almost always in
childhood that the disease takes ist
first hold, and during 1921 the Michigan association will greatly increase
its work among the children of the
state.
