SALINE TRIMS BELLEVILLE
Saline, after losing three straight
games, broke into the winning column
by defeating Belleville' on the home
floor by a score of 19-17.
The margin, however small, proved
to be sweet revenge for the defeat
handed out by Belleville there last
week.'
The Purple and White started right
out, gaining a slender lead and'holding it, although being tied several
times during the contest. At the half
the score was tied at 7-7.
The *boys came out in the third
period determined to fight hard and
by the intermission had succeeded admirably, the score'being 13-9. Both
teams rallied and with the score 17-
15, with Saline leading, the climax
came. Ellward took the ball out of
bounds near the corner of the floor
j and proceeded to pass to Simmons.
"The acting in comedy must be However Bill Carr's sixth sense timed
more subtle than in tragedy," said the situation, correctly and as the ball
Miss La Plante. "One can actually ; was passed he:fan in, snatched the
overact in tragedy without the audi- [ ball out of Simmons'; hands and shot

and see what happens. The audience ket. Just then Ives was fouled and
will refuse to react—and nothing is made good two free throws, making
more pitiable than a player who is the score 19-17 at wliich mark it retrying to be funny and isn't. j mained for the final niinute of play..
"The tragic  feeling is  caused by j     Arnold    Lambarth,    and    Howard
!     One comedienne who has no desire
to   be   a   tragedienne   is blonde, be-
i dimpled Laura La Plante, whose new-
j est Universal comedy, "Home James,"
which comes to Liberty theatre, Saturday and Sunday.
It is one of -the traditions of thp
theatre that comedy groups want to
exhibits for the ladies,
no doubt would like to show
his versatility at the expense of
"showing up"  the others.
But Miss La Plante is satisfied with
her comedy roles. She believes it is
much more difficult to be a good
comedienne than to be a good tragedienne.
"Lifelong Resident Passed Away "Wednesday Night, January 23.
i Edith Lillian Parsons, daughter of
Cornelius and Mary A. Parsons, was
born in Saline village July 3, 1858.
She was a graduate of Saline High
school in 1874, being one of a class of
four, the fourth class to graduate
from the present school building.
On July 23, 1876 she was married
to Andrew J. Warren, and to them
one son was born, who died in infancy.
Until within a few years she had
been an active member of the Maccabees and Eastern Star societies, having held several important offices in
each. About a year ago she began
a siight decline which continued until
Christmas time, when she took a
cold which turned to flu, developing
into a heart and lung attack. During the last week of her illness she
was a great sufferer, yet never did
she murmer, gradually growing
weaker until at 11:22 o'clock Wednesday night, January 23, 1929, when the
end came peacefully," being conscious
until the last.
She is survived by the bereaved
husband and two brothers, Grosvenor
L. Parsons of this place and GeorgM
W. Parsons of Washington, D. C,
two nephews, one niece, one grand-
niece and a large circle of cousins.
Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon at the residence on East
Michigan avenue, Rev. S. T. Dunk
ofilciating. Interment in the family
lot in Oakwood cemetery.

almost the same things to most people, so it is not so difficult to arouse
this emotion in the audience. But everyone laughs at something else.
Some things will be funny to the sophisticated people, some to the sim- ;
pie sort; some to the intelligent and
some to the ignorant. To make an
average audience laugh the comedy
player must hit upon something that
will, be funny to everyone. !
"A good comedienne -should take
herself seriously. She should play
the role very seriously and try not to
think of people laughing later at her
image on the screen.. My ambition is j
to be the greatest comedienne of all
time." |
In "Home James," Miss La Plante '
portrays her funniest role in motion
pictures.    William   Beudine  directed;
this hit, which is adapted from the '.
stage play of Gladys Johnson. |
Included in the cast are Charles ;
Lamb led the Saline -scoring with six
points each, while Ives and Bird got
the same number. It was mainly
through the efforts of Howard that
Saline maintained an early lead, but
Lambarth, who ccwjdh't seem to
get going in the first half, came
through with three baskets which
helped out a lot in its maintainance.
Bill Carr played the best game at
center that he has displayed this
year. Bill continually fooled the opposition with his heady work. If Bill
can keep up this good work he wiE
become a "real" center.
Capt. Estermyer watched his teammates struggle through to victory on
the bench, a sore ankle occuring during practice relegating him there.

At a meeting of the State Prison
Commission, held, at Jackson recently to look over matters pertaining to the proposed State Women's
Training school, a site on the old
Franch farm north of the new Michigan State prison on Cooper street
was found favorable.
The commission will ask for an ap-
propiation of $335,000 to finance the
construction of the institution, which
would comprise an administration
building, hospital and three cottages
capable of housing 100 women eacb.
The site is thought to be well suited as it is hilly, slopping toward the
Grand river, and can be made a beautiful and satisfactory location with a
minimum, amount of excavation.
Of course it is likely that if this
site is purchased some changes will be
made in the plans before construction begins. The state administration board will first have to be shown
the need for the project, the amount
to be expended on it and then they
will submit it to the legislature so as
to get the money.

Tuesday was a big day at the Parsons & Dodge Service and Sales
station, as they held their annual
tractor demonstration event. Fanners and others began to assemble
early in the forenoon and so continued until fully 200 were present.
During the forenoon Earl J. Jewett
of Jackson gave a talk on tractors,
their uses, construction and importance to the farmer. Following this Mr.
Harper gave some good advice, on the
care of tractors and the importance
of people handling them.
At the noon hour, sandwiches, coffee and friedcakes were served. In
the afternoon* the Internatnonal Harvester Company put on at the Liberty theatre several reels showing
tractors at work and the process of
manufacturing them, all of which was
interesting and instructive, especially to those who employ tractors,
which are rapidly coming into prominence and soon to be in general use.
AH visitors on entering the office
of the firm were given souvenirs and
a ticket entitling them to a chance in
the prize drawings later in the afternoon, the prizes being several
cans of grease and oil.
Messrs. Parsons and Dodge were
highly pleased with the day's doings
and feel sure that they have many
good prospects as a result.
