SCHOOL NOTES

BASEBALL
Each day tlie boys are putting
forth more effort in order to clinch
their Coveted positions amd from the.
appearances of some of the practices
one wouldi tihinlk- tihe Saline team was
practiciing with the Detroit/ club.
Several candidates have shown, some
real .ability in their respective-' positions. If the boysi keep! on. at their
present rate Saline will have a real
team this year.
The opposition will be similar to
that of basketball, with all hard
foams to face. Many lost few through
graduation 'last year and consequently will be all tha more versatile this
season. Our boys are missing the
teamwork of" April!, Schmid, Beasley,
Trolut andi Gordon. T.he places of the
missing wiflj b.-j ably taken but not
filled as well as they _might be.
Arnold Folk -will undoubtedly replace
Gordon on. the mound and Estermeyer
wipi substitute for Beasley at short
stop. Leonard Hutzel, a veteran
of lasb year, is still in school and .
will have little difficuflty in holding
diown ihiis job at first base. Five fielders are among- the left overs, which
might include Clarke Gordon and
Carl Mohrhardt Both are Seniors
this year..
The sarnie field wiftl be used this
year with little change. The only
thing left is a home plate, which will
be accompanied by some bases later
on. Just now thie black muck does
noli present an altogether inviting appearance to the coach and followers.
The location is ideal with the exception of ,ai tew tile to icarry away the
surplus water. However, the water
cannot evaporate, soon enough to
auiiit tlba veterans who are cooped 'up
in the little space back of the school
house at the present tijme. (
Rtgular practices" are held at neon
and 'after school, with Coach VaaiRip--
er imparting as much of his knowledge as possible to those, who are
rather green with the- bat. As far as
can be seen the leading hitters this
year will be Paul Estermyer, Gordon,
Mohrhardt, Wiedemeyer, Probyn and
perhaps Lambarth. More infomation
regarding the games, etc., will probably be available next week.. '.
A union sunrise prayer meeting
will be held in St. Paul's church on
Easter Sunday morning, April S, at
6:30.
Although, this is a young people's
movement, all, people of the community are urged to attend. The general
theme as, "Crusade With* Christ,*"
and is. a- special challenge to the
young people of the world. It is
Significant to remember that not one
hour qf Baste.' .day will pass without
a ^sunrise prayer meeting in some
part of the world.
This is" mu conjunction with an International, and Interdenominational
movements, suggested by Dr. A. Pooling, of "the International Society of
Christian Endeavor, held in Cleveland' lasb summer/
The. executive committee chosen
from the young people's organizations
Oif our community met Mcgidjay night
at thei home of, Mr. and. Mrs. Lewis
Ernst. The members were as follows:
Rev. Crosby, Rev. Wittbracht, .Rev.
Dunk, Kennetli Spitler, Erma Heininger, XiKlian, Bracy, .Evelyn Ernst
and Ronald Tower. This .committee
made plans for the program which
will be announced fully next week.
If the community* as a whole will
catch the spirit that was prevalent
at this meeting the Easter sunrise
service will be a great success.

MICHIGAN  FARMERS
TO INCREASE ACREAGE
All Inipiortaiit Croiis Except Hay Are
Going to Be More Plentiful.
Michigan farmers are intending to
have larger acreages of all the important crops except hay for harvest
this year, according to reports recently issued from Lansing. The reports
also show that in most instances
formers throughout the United
States are planning crop acreages
'thait will exceed lasti year.
There is a prospective increase in
sprihg wh.eat .acreage in Michigan of
35 per cent, however, the intentions
for the. north central- group of states
is for a spring wheat acreage only
98.3 per cent as large as last year.
The intentions report for the grain
crops in Michigan shows increases
amounting to three per cent for corn,
two per cent for oats, and 40 per cent
for barley.
Potato growers throughout tlie
country intend toi increase the .pr'-fit.i
acreage again this year. The intentions for the United States are 119.9
•pea* cent, for the north central group
of states 113.5 per cent, and for Michigan 110 per icent. There was a 16
per cent Increase in Michigan acre-
.age last .year, but the production
turned out the -shortest since 1916
beia'?Rise of 'thie small yield per acre.'
If Michigan farmers actually plant
this increased acreage and an average yield results, the outturn will be
a 32 million bushel crop. If the indicated Mcrease for the United States
is carried out and an average yield
resuilts, ia total production of 411 .million bushels will be obtained which
will be another crop above normal
consumption  requirements..
The inten.ions inquiry further indicated that Michigan .farmers plan to
increase their bean acreage, about 35
per cent. This increased acreage
with an average yield will mean a
fnta'- production, about 35 per Cent
largiir than,- the average for the. past
ten years or 45 per cent larger than
last year's short crop.
Throughout the United States the
intentions are to cut less tame hay
this year than last with a decrease
in Michigan amounting to two per
icent.

A one-eyed gunman has an advantage. He doesn't have to take time to
close the other eye when aiming.
Monte Blute, as Dan Foster, engineer, epitomizes all that is fine, strong
and loyal in the railroad man. His
pride is hat he is always in on schedule, ithat he can put bread In the
months of- his widowed sister's children, that he is in good standing with
his employers and with the men of
the Brotherhood.
That the speeding car of a joy-riding society girl shopld crash into his
train, causing the first accident identified with hfe name, is a grief to him,
blut this) is forgotten in pity for the
girL Pity turns easily into love, and
before he knows ft he is engaged to
a girl whose mother comes to plead
that she canpotr stand poverty.
The engineer's hroither goes to the
dogs», and for the girl's sake Foster
gives her up. When she marries the
rich man, Foster is thei engineer on
the express that carries her private
coach and bridal party. Bandits hold
UP the train. One of them, proves to
be Foster's brother. Terrific are tha
adventures he goies -through to keep
his honor cOieian-.
In the .cast in support of Monte
Blue are Edna Murphy, Myrtle StedJ-
-man, Claire McDowell, Carrol Nye,
William Demare-st .and J. W. Johnson.
