I Saline's 1928 chautauqua has pass-
■ ed into history, and marked what is
more than likely t° be the last affair
of the kind our people will have an
opportunity to-attend, owing to the
poor support given it. Less than 200
tickets were sold this year to adults
and children, and the guarantors will
make up the deficit of about 5175.
The programs were as good as in
previous years, and but for the appearance of the Cutler-Griffin Company, who were here on the winter
i lyceum course, the talent was all new
if we except J. Coates Lockhart, the
] inimitable Scotch comedian, who ap-
' peared on the lyceum course a few
years ago. Mr. Lockhart is a genius
in n'is .work, and this year showed
his capabilities as an actor in the pre-

TAMARAC SCHOOL REUNION
The fourth annual reunion of the
Tamarac school was held at the
school grounds Saturday, August 18,
with about 75 in attendance. A pot-
luck dinner was served and the following program was given in the afternoon.
Singing—America.
Prayer—William Kelsey.
Recitation—Mrs. Bodley.
Reading—Miss Geraldine Richards.
Music, Violin and Cello—Misses
Doris Miller and Mary Sloggett.
Collection of readings from Edgar
Guest—Miss Kenzlar.
Singing—"Juanita."
History of the School—Miss Eva
V ar.V alkenburg.
Remarks were made by William
Kelsey, George VanBlarcum, Mrs.
Stringer, Miss Jennie Dexter and
Mrs. Frank Parsons.
Mrs. George Rattray, their very
capable president, refusing to be reelected, Mrs. Sibert Richards was
elected president.
Vice President—Miss Jennie Dexter.
Secretary-Treasurer—Miss Sophia
Schanz.
The meeting was closed with tb
Mizpah.
Thalis Rosebrook of Lansing was
one of those present at this reunion,
it being 46 years since most of his
old schoolmates had seen him.
Heroic deeds of the "devil-dogs" of
the United States' Marine Corps in
foreign fields-during war 'time iiave
been adequately lauded the world
over. But a most important peacetime domestic service of the "leathernecks" has gone practically unrewarded. Under recent Congressional
order, the Marine Corps has been detailed to assist in the protection of
valuable U, S. mails in transit. The
effect of the assignment of the marines to the job has made mail holdups uncommon. This great service
heretofore has been almost unrecognized until FBO's moving picture
production, "The Great Mail Robbery," to be shown at the Liberty
theatre Saturday and Sunday. The
central theme of the production is
laid around the defense of a mail
train carrying a fortune in gold, dynamited and besieged by bandits in
a remote mountainous section. The
daring band finally is routed after a
prolonged and desperate battle with
the "leather-necks," providing one of
the most thrilling climaxes ever
screened, and a real tribute to the
U. S. Marine Corps.

We left Lucerne at 9 o'clock on a
mountain train, with an engine en
front and one at the rear, with a cogwheel to catch beside the regular
track. All the way was up moun-
trains; we went through the famous
Brugin pass, which is more than
4,GOO feet above sea level. We could
see snow capped mountains above,
and when one looked over the side of
the slope one could see villages in the
valley.    I did enjoy it all so much.
We stopped at Interiaaken, a little
town in the mountain valley and it
