Faith in Saline
No business is .so dependent upon public confidence as a bank. The veiry nature
of its business as guardian of its customers finances implies implicit faith on the
part of those customeirs.
It is, theOaeifore, imperative that those
persons who direct the business of a bank
measure1 up to this responsibility.
Our consistent growth is evidence of
the confidence imposed in us by the cubic-ens of Salide. And this confidence brings
home to us a geinuine appreciation of our
responsibility and duty.
The Saline Savings- Bank pledges its
services to Saline. We have faith in its
future and -we shall endeavor to grow as
our village grows.

Washtenaw County! Fair society
entertained the county board of supervisors, the county newspapeninen
and their wives at. a l*anquet Friday
evening at the fair grounds.

future. He thanked the supervisors
and newspaper men 'for their co-operative spirit.
"This year's fair will' represent the
whole county. The bands which will
Play at the Ifair and the baseball
teams which, are entered in the tournament have been picked from all
parts of the county," Mr. Watt said.

Watt promised*. "We have protected

THE 1(126 WOOL CROP
It is estimated that Michigan growers produced 7,92S,000 pounds of
wool this year as compared with
8,008,000 in 1925. The average weight
por fleece this year was 8.0 pounds
while last year it was 7.7 pounds, the
increase being due to improvement
df flocks and the 'unusually long winter, according to a statement issued
to the press-.
The production for the United
States is placed at 269,054,000 pounds,
or 15,147,000 pounds m,ore than in
1925. The- average weight per fleece
is 7.S pounds for both years. The 1925
Census figures are not yet available
for all states. Revisions have been'
•made to the census basis as far as
the figures have been published, and
revisions for the remaining states will
be made later when the census re-
parts are received.

Tlie amount of money in circulation
August 1 was estimated by the treasury at $42.01 per capita, compared
with $41.31 a year ago, and 552.36
November 1, 1920, the higest figure on
record.
In reaching its estimate the treasury calculated the population of the j
United   States   at   115,641,600.     The;
money in circulation August 1 amounted to  $4.S5S,473,503,  while  the total!

The new* cement pavement beween
Ypsilanti and Saline will be opened
Friday, August 30, making a complete
cement road into Detroit. To celebrate this important event, the Board
of Commerce at Ypsilanti will give
a banquet at the. new Huron hotel in
that city August 2Q, and will entertain the village officials and othei-s
who have been interested in the road
work, of Saline and Clinton.
Olin C. "Bckley, secretary of the
Ypsilanti Board of Commerce, was. in
town a week ago and said that Clinton, Saline and Ypsilanti had worked
long and hard for the completion of
this i-f*ad and he thought it fitting
that the three towns celebrate the
completion of the road together.
Mr Eekley stated that he hoped
to persuade Frederick Hewitt of Cam-
brige Junction to give a talk on the
History of the,Irish Hills.
Marl taken from some Michigan deposits may prove injurious for a short
time at least, when applied directly to
the soil before seeding to clover or alfalfa, but it is satisfactory after passing through a weathering or curing
period of a few months. This fact is
indicated by the recent tests which
have been conducted at the M. S. C.
soils laboratories.
Tests in the laboratories have shown
the presence of sulphides which are
injurious to plants, but which are oxidised and destroyed during the weathering process. At the present time,
tests are being made to determine the
time required Ifor the destruction of
such 'compounds.
"In the light of these conditions,"
sm-s Prof. M. M. MieCool, head of the
college soils department, "it is prudent for the farmer, either to allow
the marl to be exposed to the elements for some time before adding it
to the soil Or to delay seeding for a
season, as in the case where it is ap-i
plied in the fall in preparation for
the spring seeding."
Christian Science Notes.

"Inside" Information
A pinch of curry powder is sometimes liked with lima beans.
Turn cakes upside down when they
are taken from the oven and allow
them to coo! partially. Remove from
the pan before the (lake reaches room
temperature or has a chance to sweat.
Tomatoes fresh, raw, or canned are
a good source of vitamins A. B, and C
This is the reason that child specialists often recommend that young
children and sometimes babies be
Siven tomato juice. It is a good plan
also to include tomatoes often in the
family menu.
Serve all, lamb dishes piping hot,
on hot plates, because many people
object to the texture of the fat that
has hardened as it has cooled. Tliat
jellies and tasty sauce also "'cut*' the
fat and tone down the pronounced
flavor of the meat.
Seitz Family Reunion
The sixth annual renunion df the
Seitz -family was held Sunday at
Blind lake, with 50 members present
from Ypsilanti, Saline Chelsea and
Ann Arbor. '
A picnic dinner was served at noon,
and the afternoon was spent in games
and visiting. A fishpond provided by
Mr. and Mrs John Seitz containing
several different sorts of fish, furnished amusement for the older members
of the family as well as the children.
At the business meeting. Floyd
Wuerth of Ypteilanti was chosen president, and Mrs Philip Seitz of Chelsea
was elected secretary for the ensuing
year.

The growing of mint is big business in St. Joseph county. A person
who knows estimates the acreage this
year at nearly if not quite 4,000.—
Burr Oak Acorn.
Tlie Potato Situation on August 1
Michigan -potato growers should
feel rather ootimistic over the potato
price pospects this ye?r. The acreage
for the country is below normal and
the pro'uetion estimate of 345,569,000
bushed is around 40 millions under
normal consumption demands. While
unusually favorable weather -conditions might' improve the crop to the
extent that the shortage would be
reduce*, it is highly improbable, that
a sufficiently high yield .nuav be obtained as to create a surplus. The
present forecast for Michigan is about
three millions more than last year
and for the country as a whole, approximately 22 millions .more. It is
pointed out that if these figures are
maintained 'to the end of the season,
prices cannot be expected to rule as
high as last year but 'they should be
high enough to .return satisfactory
profits to growers. The principal increases are in Michigan, New York,
■Wisconsin, Virginia and Idaho.

BIG DOUBLE BILL
AT LIBERTY THEATRE
■Tohny Hines    and Harold Lloyd Saturday and .Sunday.
You can always be .certain about
one thing in a Johnny Hines picture.
This racy, spontaneous comedian is
very mulch, of an athlete and never
hesitates to "do his stuff" by himself. Each Hines- production manages to contain a lot of thrills and at
least one big thrill which is usually
of the hair-raising variety.
In "Rainbow Riley,1' liis latest
comedy, Johnny is seen swinging
across a cha&mi via. a suitfcase wnich
is attached by a rope that has been
thrown over a wire cable. If you
iloii't think that takes nerve, try it
yourself some day. But Ibe siure to
pick out a chasm that is at -least 600
feet deep, since that is exactly the
depth of the chasm of Dingmans
Falls, Pennsylvania, where Johnny
miade the leap.
Harold Lloyd arrives at the Liberty theatre Saturday in a popular
edition tit his Pullman car special
comedy, "Now or Never." With
most of the action taking place In
a train, the inimitable comedian
shows us the error df our ways when
traveling. Accompanying him on his
three-reel laughter trip are liis wife,
Mildred Davis; and Anna May Btlson,
a talented youngster.

BEANS   OR MEAT
Many poeple believe that beans
such as navy, lima and other kinds
of dried beans, are substitutes for
meat from the standpoint of their
nutritive value. Recent research by
the Uniter States Department of Agri-i
culture on the kind tif- protein conn
tained in different foods has shown
that the protein of meat is superior
to that of beans from the standpoint
of meeting the needs of the body. The
protein in meat is call'ed "complete*'
or "efficient"' while that in beans is
;called "inconilpp.ete," because it lacks
certain acids. The average meal
that Americans eat, however, usuaily
contains bread and other fcods that
contain some kind of protein. Generally a combination df these with the
protein in beans will, supply the body
what it needs. So far as nutritive
value goes it is therefore all right to
use beans occasionally in place of
meat for dinner.
BIRD MENUS
In addition to a seed supply, lettuce
or a bit of apple should be placed between the wires of the canary cage
frequently. Where practicable, this
menu may be varied by the addition
of chickweed, dandelion, thistle and
plantain seeds, and the fruiting
heads and tender leaves of senecio
and shepherd's purse. Water-cress,
wild oats, knot grass, and other grasses are relished, especially in spring
and earl;,- in summer.
Bread moistened in scalded milk,
given cold at intervals, is beneficial.
Soft foods should not Ibe made too
wet. Supplies of moist food must be
kept strictly fresh and clean or sickness may result. It is advisable to
keep cuttle bone available at all
times.

TEMPORARY  SHEEP PASTURE
Sheep can be successfully and
economically raised with temporary
pastures, numerous farage icrops being used for such pastures, says the
United States Department of Agriculture. Soil and climate conditions
should determine largely the kin£s
to be grown. More sheep ean be
raised per acre on temporary Pasture
than on permanent pastures with
soils of equal fertility. Pasturing
sheep on annual crops makes it possible to rotate pastures more frequently and thus lessen the danger of
'nfection by stomach worms and other
internal parasites. AVheat, when it
can be successfully grown, provides
better winter and early spring pasture for sheep than rye. Oats and
field peas together make an excellent
spring pasture for sheep. Where the
soil is thin soybeans *make one of
the best temporary pasture crops for
sheep. This crop can be pastured
from July until the first frost.
