MARCH
(By  "Walter  Bredernitz,  fifth   grade,
Dell school)
March is the "windy month that
hrings the spring. It gets its name
from the word Mars.
The storms are often broken in upon by days ot real spiring mildness
and sunshine." The stone "of tte month
is the blood stone ana. the flower is
the violet.
Years ago March, "was the first
month hut wias changed hy Julius
Caesar. People say tliat if the -first
day of March comes in. like a lion it
will go out like a lamb, or if it comes
in like a lamb l|t "will go out TBce a
lion. -Another slaying, is that the last
three days of -the month- are "borrowed from April, "while the third call
the first three days hlind daiys and -say
they are unlmietky- Years agio people
wouH not plant seeds oh- these three
days.
There are no general holidays in
March but Texas celebrates the second day of the month as the anniversary of their independence from Mexico. March 4 of evemy fio&rth year is
of special interest to the people of the
United States >as the inauguration day
of the President.

After finishing his course at the
Cincinnati College of Embalming in
1907, William E. Dietiker came to Saline and began his undertaking career.
At the same time his father, Charles
Dietiker, came here and engaged in
the furniture business in conjunction
with his soft's undertaking establishment. They purchased the business
ccnduqfced at that time by A. C.
Clarke,. Eight years passed under >this joint arrangement hefore
Mr. Dietiker, the elder, decided to
seeik new fields, and, leaving the business to his son, moved to Wyandotte.
Since that time his son has successfully carried on both branches of the
business.
William E. Dietiker was born January 21, 1SS6, in the village of Free-
land, west of Saginaw. His father
during his early .years was a merchant, postmaster, operated a grain
elevator, and a number of other
things. As Mr. Dietiker *-iaid, "When
I got old enough to work, my mother,
my father and myself ran the town,
for father had his hand in about
everything he could." So he certainly had an ample business training.
During his youth, Mr. Dietiker
nursed the idea that he wanted to be
an undertaker some day. That idea
stayed with him. His first step in
that direction was when, at the age
of 17, he decided to go to high school
in Saginaw and work for an undertaker outside of school hours. Believing that a high school diploma
was not necessary' fior what he wanted
to do hut that -experience was, he left
school after the second year in order
to devote all of his time to learning
Ms profession. A little over a year
of this fallowed (before he left for
Cincinnati to obtain training in embalming under experts prior to opening an establishment of his own.
The following year he aame to Sar
line, where he has carried cn a successful "business ever since.
Three years after he "was here, Mr.
Dietiker married Miss Martha Feldkamp of York township, June 14,1911.
He now has two childrgen, a son,
Wesley., "who is somewhat of an athlete In Saline High school, and an
Infant daughter, Marilyn.

The annual celebration of the Wied^
man Auto Company held at their
pleasant and c'oniniodious quarters
Saturday, .was one of the most interesting and complete ever held by the
firm. The occasion was nnt given so
much for sdlling purposes, but more
fior demonstration and for the benefit
farmers could get from special talks
on the subject of the corn borer situation which is at this time menacing
farmers in this vicinity.
Mr. Bacon, of South Bend, a high
authority on the corn borer situation,
gave a long talk on the many phases,
and the best methods of procedure.
He was followed hy Mr. Dibble of
Michigan. State cdllege at Lansing
continuing the same subject. Mr.
Dibble made several suggestions
strengthening statements of the former speaker and offering new ones
relative to the eradication of the pest
and of how best to handle the soil,
weeds and grasses in the fields and
along the fences. It was shown that
alfalfa in particular is the ondy plant
on which the corn borer will not deposit its 'eggs, while red clover is not
commonly found to harb-T their litter.
Paul (.Cement of Biittcn, connected
with the Lenawee county control
board for corn borer destruction, was
present and gave a very intei eating
talk on the work and progress in his
territory which for the past yea*.* has
been among the sections most severely infested' and where whole fields
haive been lost.
William Ford of Detroit, a brother
of the Ford car magnet, gave the only real machine demonstration of the
day. He explained most thoroughly
every detail of the Fordson tractor;
its advantages, its control and power,
and wherein it in* a general way is
the tractor to buy.
The Liberty theatre was campCete-
ly packed, where a fine selection of
reels displayed the corn borer situation from hatching to maturity, and
different stages of the destructive havoc wrought by the worms.
One of the interesting demonstrations was that given by Mr. Miller,
a representative of the Standard Oil
company. Mr. Miller took for his
main theme, Standard oil taken from
autos, the oil of which had been
used in the cars for some time. In
this he showed that such oil is not
dead nor is It lacking in quality and
its usual substance. He took the old
dirty oil, put it through a process
where the good oil still in the mixture was separated from the dirt
and worthless worn crease, the light
deteriorated liquid and all dirt taken
out, leaving more than half the quantity -of oil in its original pure and
clean condition, thus to show that
miuich good oil is wasted by throwing
it out. He fuaither explained a new
device which is being installed in
many new cars for the purpose of
clarifying the old oil and taking
from it all dirt and worthless matter
—quite a saving! to auto and truck
drivers.
At the close of the meeting Mr.
Osier, county agent, who was present, remarked that this had proved
the best, most interesting and instructive one of the kind that had
been held in the state.
At the noon hour the Wiedman Auto Company had not overlooked the
fact that a little feast might be appreciated, and 500 buns, 500 fried-,
cakes, 50 pounds of frankfuffts and a
suitable quantity ofi good coffee were
soon taken care .of by the big crowd.
Not a sale was offered nor made,
the meeting having been offered simply to interest people in the corn
borer situation and the demonstrations mentioned, and it was a success in every sense.
