BEN HUR IS A
MIGHTY ROMA WE
Its Love Element Equal to Its Power
of Plot and Characterization.
PICTURE LIVES VIVIDLY
Novarro and May McAvoy Head the
Great Cast.
The magnificent plot, fine characterization and beautiful love story are
among the outstanding reasons why
"Ben Hur" has gripped tlie imagination of America for fifty -years. In the
motion picture coming to the Liberty
theatre Sunday, Monday iind Tuesday
the splendid portrayals of Ben-Hur by
Eamon Navarro, Esther by May Mc-
Avoy, Mother of Hur by Claire McDowell, and Tirzah by Kathleen Key, add
to the effect and enhance the romance.
These players live tlie romantic side
of She story, which is just as engrossing as the sea battle or .even the chariot race.
Miss McAvoy, who previously was
best remembered by her role of Grizel
in "Sentimental Tommy,"' is a charming Esther, daughter oi the Merchant
of Antioch. who secretly has saved the
Hur fortune for the young heir, and
Bamon Novarro in the Ben-Hur role is
handsome, valiant, marked by sincerity, depth and range of feeling.
"Perhaps the deepest note is struck
after Ben-Hur and Esther set out to
find his lost kin. who lave been immured in a forgotten Roman dungeon
and (unknown to him) finally released
as outcasts. Mother :and Tirzah find
tlie youthful Ben-Hur asleep on a
bench outside the disused Palace of
Hur. The sister kisses his shoe but
the mother does not dare touch him.
Silently they go away to save him from
the ruin which is theirs.
There are few dry eyes during the
enactment of this "scene. But the sorrow is turned to joy after Esther disc-overs the outcasts in the ATale of Hin-
nom.'takes Ihem to the Divine Healer,
whose bonodicii-ii cures them, and the
happy four are reunited.

Lambarth with four baskets and
one from the free throw line led the

Probyn with three baskets in the

to keen it.
It was the first game that Martin
had failed to score in, white it was also the first that Capt Hiutzel had not
sucoaadad in topping the scoring list,
either at the top alone or by trving for
it.
Saline meets University High this
coming Friday evening at Anin Arbor,
and the team will redouble its efforts
to win, remembering that Saline has

t.ast year's tournament and at Saline
earlier in the season. The games were
lost by close scores, 22-20 and 29-26.

FINE DISPLAY. OF ORES
An exhibit of (numerous specimens
of various ores of gold, silver, and copper, is being shown in the lobby of
the Citizens Ban]-;. These specimens,
among which are niuggets af solid
gold and native icojpper, include many
from Alaska and some from. Michigan and South Dakota.
The, puii^pose of this exhibit is to
show the original form of the various
metals from which United States
money is made, ajnd is very interesting from that standpoint alone., though
the geologist will find among the
sppecimens many other things to attract his interest.
This display is a small part of a
larger private collection owned by a
former townsman of Saline and former employe of the banik, Harold J.
Lutz, by whom the entire collection
was personally made during his connection, over a .period of several
years, with the United States Forest
Service, i'n various parts of the.
country.
Mr. Lutz is a graduate of Saline
High school and of M. S. C, and is
now taking special post-graduate
work at Yale university.
The pupils of all schoils are invited to examine these samples of ore,
each of which is accompanied by a
short description.
INDEBTEDNESS OF COTNTY
RETEALED BY  AITHTOR
The bonded indebtedness of Washtenaw county is $2,009,325.
An analysis of this figure, which
hr-s been complied by L. 0; Cushing,
county auditor, reveals that almost
all of the sure for which the county
has bonded itself -has been for the
construction of drains, the remainder
being bonds for the improvement of
roads.
According to- the county official's
figure, the outstanding drain bonds at
iiresent amount to Sl.S10.000. Two
large projects, the Allen's Creek drain
through Ann Arbor, and the PiHsfeld-
Ann Arbor drain, partly in tbe southeastern section of Ann Arbor, and
partly in adjoining townships account
for $1,21'0,000 of the drain bonds.
To construct the Allen's Creek drain
the county was bonded for .5550,000
while the Pittsfield-Ann Arbor drain
bonds amounted io $660,000. This
leaves §600.000 which is divided
among ma>iy drainage projects.
The total amou'i.t of the county's
debt for tlie construction of roads is
