Building up to one of the most
dramatic and spectacular climaxes
ever filmed, with a freight locomotive racing on a parallel track to
overtake a '^Special" running wild
and with a young'engineer's courageous jump from, one roaring monster to the other, "The Midnight Flyer,"* a sensational im'elodrama of railroad life in the feud-ridden mountains
of West Virginia, comes to the Liberty
theatre Saturday and Sunday for a
two-day showing, its first in. this locality. The new* P. B. O. gold bond
special is an adaptation hy J. Grubb
Alexander til two stories from the pen
oC Arthur Guy Empey, and it provides
both action and drama of an unusual
sort. The 'characterizations alone
would mate it stand out in a class hy
by itself. An all star cast iii which
Cullen Landis, Dorothy Devore, Buddy
Post, Charles Mails, Frankie Darro,
Claire McDowelil, Barbara Tennant,
Elmo Billings and Alphonz Ethier are

Tom For.man. who directed "The Midnight Flyer," was fortunate in having
the fbest of 'material and a corking
cast with which to work, and he has
made the most of both.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONTENTION
Notice ot" Call.
Michigan leads practically every
state in. the 'union in nearly all
branches of conservation work declare reports and statements in-ade by
high officials of the federal govern-
meiat at Washington. This exceptional praise is. off more than ordinary
interost to residents of Michigan in
view df the fact that the state had no
conservation department much over
five years ago.
One of the first acts of Governor
Alex J. Groesbeck when he assumed
the .governor's chair wa? to create
a conservation department. The state
had a fish and gaune warden and a
fire warden and that was about all
there was to it. The work of its conservation department in, a little more
than i&ve years has raised the state
to first rank in the .greatly needed
work.
According to the last annual report "of the United States forest service, "Michigan planted on its state
forests in 19.24 over =6,"50i0,000 trees
on 5,691 acres, about two thirds as
many trees as were planted in all
National forests." Department officials say the plant this year will far
exceed1 that olf amy previous year.
"" Colonel Allen *S. Peek, associate
federal forester,, recently .stated that
-Michigan's forest flr-e tower system,
is one of the most perfect in the
United States. In 1921 Michigan had
b-ut 15 forest fire towers. It now has
11*6 and this year every aicre -of forest lands will be within the range of
observers.
Comparative fish plantings of -varl-.
ous states show that Michigan leads
in efforts to keep its streams and
lakes filled with garnie fish. The -fish
planted last year exceeded 22S,000,000
more -than that of- any other state.
In all other branches of its work,
the Conservation Department has won
similar praise from those possessing
a thorough knowledge of conditions
in other states.
Un State Candidate f»r Governor Will
Be Here Saturday Afternoon.
Sa.tur.dav, Auaai°:t 2S Fred "W. Green,
can idate for governor, will make a,
speaking tcur through 'Washtenaw
county, and -wiTl arrive in Saline at
S-'OO p. *m. •
With Mr, Green will be a hundred
or more r-'t his many Ifriends and admirers in the county. The fcombined
State Normal and City Bands of Ypsi-
lanti-wllli arrive thirty (minutes In advance and "will play until the speaker arrives.
Preparations   are   being   ma.de     to
meet Green  and- his -party and wel
come them  to Saline, -where  he  has
many old friends.
Fred Green has put Gov. Groesbeck
on. the defensive in this Driniary campaign and is giving thei people of
Michigan an insight into some of the
thin-*** shout' their government that
they ought to know.
Reg"rr'less of personal feeling it is
n good thing for the voters to hear
both, sides of every situation if they
expect to vote intelligently. This
meeting will afford an opportunitv
to liear and see the mail who stands
a mighty "good chance o'f being the
ne?t -governor of Michigan.
