Yen Might .Need Glasses?
Did it ever occur to you that you might need to
have your eyes examined? Perhaps that's the reason why your head feels queer at times and you
have difficulty in keeping' your eyes on one object
for any length of time. 'Have them examined at
least to satisfy your own mind.

Cotton Wrapping for Cotton Bales
Probably the greatest single opportunity to widen, the market for cotton lies in the substitution .of cotton
for jute as a covering for cotton
'bales and for other articles, says the
United States Department of Agriculture. This countriy imports annually, chiefly from India, more than
75,0'00 tons of jute and more than
900.000,000 yandis- of jute cloth. Some
of the manufacturing problems incident to fabricating cojtton coverings
for cotton bales and processing them
against decay have apparently been
solved, and with cotton and jute at
their present relative prices the cotton wrapper is cheaper*

HUNTERS WARNED TO OBEY
THE "POSTED" LAW
Complaints are heard that some
hunters claim that arrests cannot
b^e legally made by trespassing on
farms which have been "posted" to-
prohibit hunting.
Such persohis are referred to sections three and sixteen of Act 266,
public acts o|f 1925.
The penalty for violation of the
posting provision may be a fine of
from $10 to $100 or three months In
jaiL
Another claim has been heard that
land must be fenced to make the
posting provision effective.

jamera, "that it is not necessary for
•farm land to be enclosed to prohibit

born In, the south but completed her
musical education under the renowned pianists, Mt. and Mrs Joseph
Lehyiinne, who have been heard so
frequently and with so much pleasure in Hill auditorium, Miss Deck
is a graduate, as well, of the Institute of Musical Art of New York
City,, one .of the leading institutions
of its 'kind in the east. In addition
to her ability as a performer, the
young artist nas evinced talenti and
imagination in composition. In this
field she was a pupil of Rubin Gold-
mark. And on her programs in Ann
Arbor,, she will play one of her own
compositions. Miss Deck made her
debut in New York two years ago,
on which occasion, she received high
praise from the daily papers.
The University School of Music is
fortunate in being able to present
such a distinguished artist on this
series. The public,, with the exception of small children, is cordially
invited.

Be Generous With Good Cows
Many owners of dairy cattle fail
to give thje goad cow sufficient feea
.livn i. u wquired for carrying on
her bodily functions!, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The highly specialized dairy cow
returns in the form of milk practicably all the GUgp.stible nutrients in
the feed given her except those for
body maintenance. Nearly all highly
specialized milk protdlucers lose weight
in the eraly (pai-ft of the lactation period, but they normally regain it
toward the end of the milking period.
The dairyman can well afford to feed
such cows liberally, since they will
return the feed in the form of milk
when they again freshen.

The weather fluctuations of 1926
in general differed in no impirtant
particular from normnls established
by more than 50 years of record',
wtitth the tendency to .sliphily warmer conditions than usual, says the
weather bureau of the United States
Department of Agriculture. In most
of the country the growing season
was also slightly longer than usual.
Such variations, hoowever, are expected by meterologists-, and during
the period since 'the Weather Bureau
records began many years could' be
selected showing greater variations
than were observed In 1926.
For several days a Ford truck
has been parked in front of the [Congregational chuiriehi. Evidently some

A fatal step m'ay end the moist
happy lifle. The most cultivated, reclined, beautiful and the best loved
are no exception to the same fate!
A father's devotion,, a mother's fond
oare and love, or a brother's or sis-,
ter's companionship will not shield
them whtai thay desire to take the
step.
Such was the illustration last evening when one of the highest educated,
most refined and vivacious girls
was found hanging in the home
parlor, surrounded by all the luxuries that go to make home happy.
Late in the evening she was missed
and careful search failed to reveal1
her whereabouts.
The telephone -was used without
results. Her friends were called tn-
help tn the search- for her. Finally
the almost heartbroken mother returned to the parlor and there to her
horror and, surprise,, she found her
beloved daughter hanging.
How must that mother have been
affected by what met her gaze! There
was that daughter hanging to her
sweetheart's neck, begging him to
subscribe to The Saline Observer in
order that he might be better informed as of the news af this community,
by reading this splendid Home Town
newspaper. And only for $1.50 per
year, at that!
