Considerably   interest   was   shown
in the meeting, of the P. T, A. Mon^ f
day night, and a goodly number were !
present.   An architects drawing of a j
proposed  mew   school   building   that ,
would  eaa*e for thet needs  of Saline
was shown, together with blueprints
ojf   the   floor   plans.     Interior   views
from other buildings were shown to
give an idea ,of the inferior construction. .
Preliminary estimates from the
architects show that this building
could be built and equipped ready for
use for about $135,000. This could'
be financed, as most school buildings
are, on a 30-year bonding proposition
without muich increase to the - tax
rate. The 30-yea.r bonding proposition spreads the paying, for the
biuilding ove'r a long period' so that
those who get thie. use of building pay
for it] and 'not make it a burden, for
anyone.
CHRISTIAN KLAGER
..Christian .-Klager, aged - 85;-died
suddenly Sunday morning at his
home in Ann Arbor. He was born
July 31, 1S42, in Germany and had
been, ia resident o|£ Ann Arbor for the
past IS yeaTs. He is survived by
three sons, Charles of! Ann Arbor,
George of Lodi and Henry of Seio;
seven daughters, Miss Karoline Klager, Miss Emma Klager, Mrs. Matilda Ramsey and Mrs.- O. T. Beall, all
of Washington, I>. O,; Mrs. Stanley
Davis of Greenboro, N. C, Mrs. B.
W. Ayers of Chicago and Mrs. Bertha Herold ofi Dertroit; two brothers,
Charles of Detroit and George cf
Pittsfield township* three sisters,
Mrs. Barbara Kolch of Saline, Mrs,
Ernest Rathsack and Mrs. Carl Gir-
man, both of Ionia.; nine grandchildren and a great-grandchild
Saline   Will   Continue   to   Hold   tlie
Lead as a Market.
One of the chief sources of income
for the farmer oif thisi county is that
derived from sheep and wool. Sheep
produce, both lambs and wool, making
a double income without the continuous outlay for additional foods, as
with othgr- lines. This means, in
other words, that .tine farmer can
raise .all that .is required, for sheep,
except itheitr salt.
Washtenajv co)unty produces mora
wool than any other county in the
state, and more than, that, but one
county east of. the Mississippi- river
produces more; This makes it seem
reasonable that ourr former dealers,
Hauser and Parsons of Saline, shtaiuld
have been the largest buyers in the
state to purchase directly from the-
jfarmeirs.
It is hoped that tha present buyers,
Parsons & Dodge, will keep1 up this
reputation.

"Solicit the. newly-miarried man-
he needs-protection," says a manual
o(f instruction, for insurance agents.
But it is not always the newly-married ones that need it most
About noon; on, Sunday our fire department was called to the home of
Mir. and Mirs. Frank Smith, east of
town, where their home was in
flames. Mr. Smith had gone to
church, Mrs. Smith remaining at
home wiibh her sister, who "had come
to spend the day, and they were -unaware of anything wrong 'Until a
passerby, noticing a small blaze coming through the roof, rushed into the
house and .gave the alarm. Thinking
to save the property he. proceeded to
the home of George .Heiningei*; only
a few rods away, where 'be secured a.
ladder and some help, but when he-
returned it was too late.   **■
The fire, whiich. had started in the
attic, probably from a defective
ahdmney, had gained much headway,
and to combat it had little if any effect.
Tha fire truck made the two-mile
dash in a very few mihlutes, and
many others from town made the
trip to the scene, willing and anxious
to be of service.
From tlie first it was impossible to
reach the upper rooms, being cut off
by smoke and flames, and the. articles
therein were destroyed. Nearly all of
tliis housjehold effects on the first floor
and provisions in the basement were
'saved in fa'rly good condition.
The chemicalli engine was able to
hold back the flames sufficient to aid
the ones working on the inside, some
of whom had clotihiing damaged by
thei chemical spray, and a number
suffered slight burns. Fortunately,
tha winds was from the north, otherwise it wojuld have been practically
impossible to save the barn and other
outbuafldings.
While the burned property was insured, the, loss to Mr. and Mrs.
Smith will amount to considerable,
besides the inconvenience and exposure of cold weather. George Heininger, who owns the vacant house
next east of the Smith, place, opened
it and the goods of Mr. and Mrs.
Smith that were saved were soon
under cover. "The family have not
fuffly decided as yet as to their plans
for the ftutore.
Mrs.  Sela A.  Fitzgerald,  after  an }
illness of about six weeks peacefully
passed away at her home early Monday morning.
Eva A. Hotchkins was barn, in Lo-i
township May 5, 1S53, some time after with her parents moving to York
township where she remained until
nearly five: years after her marriage.
In 1881 she and her little family
moved into the village, where they
have siniee lived,
On Augnist 9, 1S76 she was married to Sela A. Fitzgerald and to
them four sons were born, Lee of
San Aatonio, Texas, James of Benton
Harbor, Max: of Adrian and Chaun-
■oey of this place, all of whom with
the, bereaved husband and one niece.
Miss Luella Barton, of Detroit and
several grandchildren survive her.

. The club met with Mrs. Edna Craig

.e-:! a vary nice dinner. After dinner
the president-, Mrs. Ada Lutz, called

Craig read the fifth chapter of James.
The club then repeated the Lord's
prayer. After the business session,
lit which it was voted to hotld a
b ke-l gords sale in thei near future,
there was am interesting, program.
"Auld Lang Syne" was sung by the
club; a reading, "Origin of St. Patrick's Day," Mrs. Grace Hammond;
song by the ladles' quartet of Macon; reading, "Mrs. Casey Attends
a Euchre Party," Miss Ella McMann;

'call to be "What do we contemplate
coiiig to Our homes this- spring to
make &>r_jconvenience or adornment."
At the meeting with Mrs. Hammond

crippled children movement.
Ye scribe was not present at the
meeting but was given, notes through
the kindness ofi those who were, and
if she has committed! any errors she
must say to the hostess, "Pardbnnez
Madame."
Local fishermen who on March first
had to discard the spear as an implement of acquisition, have lately been
having fair luck with lines through
the ice. The warm days of this week
have been weakening the ice. but also
seem to cause activity among the
schools of fish. They want to bite and
to find something to tempt them the
fishermen have resorted to a new discovery. They don hip boots, go into
the creek beds and scooping up tlie
mudd bottom they sift out little shell
incased grubs or "crawlers." These
seem to just hit. the spring appetites
of the blue.gills. Over in the bay at
the east end of the Michigan Center
mill pond the past week dozens of
fishermen, yes and fisherwomen; have
been pulling out fine catches of blue
gills. Like a, gold strike, good fishir.g
news has! a way of traveling far and
fast, and plenty have been sharing In.
