Sunday, While the score was 7 to 2,
the contest was closer than the result

hits to Milan's 10. The fact, that errors allow another man go, to bat
indicate that our boys were hitting
the ball in good shape. Hoeft struck

NOTES    -
The hard hitting H. Norman didn't
get a bingle. Keubler, Hutzel and G.
Austin got /wo hits each in four
times up. Gordon secured one hit in
two times at bat and walked twice.
Saline had seven men left on bases
and Milan five. Each team pulled a
double play.
Hutzel's three-bagger would have
been an easy home run on a good
field.
The new athletic park is held up
by.the inability to obtain a suitable
entrance to the grounds.

GOTTLOB fflNDERER HAS
HEAVY FIRE LOSSES
Two  Barns  and  Nearly  All  of His
Crops of Grain Consumed.
At about 6:30 Monday evening" the
large barns of Gottlob Hinderer on
the Manchester road were burned,
with all their contents, which included his whole wheat crop, all Oats except a few loads, and a lot of good
hay.* Cause of the fire is not known,
but it is believed to have been spontaneous combustion. It was discovered when passers-by and others noticed dense smoke gushing from the
upper part of one of the building**.
Both the Bridgewater and Saline fire
departments were' called, but as the
flames had gained great headway and
the interior of both buildings a seething furnace when the departments arrived, it was impossible to save more
than adjoining structures. All wok-
ing at the north side of the barns
were handicapped by danger from
high tension electric wires which had
been separated by the intense heat.
The ends were causing a fury of electric fire.
It was very fortunate that the soil
and all else were very dry, otherwise
several doubtless would have been
killed by the electric current. Mr.
Hinderer's loss is heavy. While he
carried considerable insurance, money
will not make up the loss as he will
be short of shelter and feed for his
stock and will for a long time suffer
great inconvenience.
Because of burne'd-off wires Bridge-
water and users in that section were
without lights until late in the evening.
TRAVER FAMILY REUNION
.Members of the Traver family, de-
scendents of Absolom Traver, who
came from Long Island in 1832 and
settled in Ann Arbor, and for whom
one of the city's streets is named, assembled Sunday at the home of Mfr.
and Mrs. W. H. Barr for their annual
reunion. Guests were present from
Wayne, Detroit, Milan, Toledo, Chelsea, Jackson, Mason, Williamston,
Lansing and Howell. It proved, as
usual, a most enjoyable affair.
Laughs," is to be shown at the Liberty theatre  Saturday and Sunday.
j Remembering  the  screen  popularity
* of the two previous Hugo-Universal
; masterpieces, "Les Miserables" and
-j "The Hunchback pf Notre Dame,"
i Manager Zimmerman left no stone
1 unturned in his efforts to secure "The
Man Who Laughs" for showing here
at the first available* opportunity.
Hi,' promises a film sensation.
"The Man Who Laughs" surpasses
the previous Hugo-Universal films in
magnificence of setting, dramatic intensity and heartgripping qualities
The story of the- mutilated mountebank's life-long devotion to the beautiful blind Dea is as human as the
background is lavishly worldly. Paul
Leni,' the director, is said to have
j showered a wealth of detail in his re-
] productions of the England of Queen
I Anne's reign. The replicas of the
court, parliament, the Duchess Josi-
ana's boudoir, Southwark Fair, London's street scenes, and other colorful
settings; are promised as elaborate
and faithful.
j Against this rich background, a distinguished cast contributes some of
the finest acting that has yet reached
Qiifescreen.    Conrad Veidt and Mary
* Philbih play the roles of Gwynplaine
' and Dea, while in the supporting cast
\ are Olga Baelanova,.. Brandon Hurst,
j George Siegmann, Sam De Grasse,
j Stuart Holmes and-*Cesare Gravina.
, One of the most remarkable features
i of "The Man v/ho Laughs" is the ex-
! cellent work of the principal chara'c-
] ters   in expressing   the most   severe
and also the tender emotions, despite
| the unusual limitations of their roles.
Conrad Veidt registers pain, despair,
j joy and love by means of the upper
* part of his face. His mouth is a
grinning mockery.  Mary Fhilbin con-
I veys the blind Dea's tragic need in
spite of blank, un seeing eyes. "Brandon Hurst portrays the craftiness and
sly humor of the court jester from
behind a network of wrinkles and a
mask of sheer ugliness. Olga Baelanova, however, exerts her seductive
charm unhampered by anything more
substantial than powdered ringlets
and some of the most alluring costumes that have ever graced a picture.

VILLAGE TAX NOTICE

be paid not later than September 1st.
You can pay your taxes any day except Saturdays.
Roy Rogers, Treasurer.
One of the most interesting sessions
to date of the Rotary Club was enjoyed by a nearly 100 per cent attendance last Thursday, at which
time Mark B. Sugden gave the-second
in the series of vocational talks:
The spefaker told in a brief time
of the changes that have taken place
in the- drug business since he entered
that line of work many years ago.
For a number of years he spent a
good share of his time in. putting up
the different forms of preparations
in capsules and packages, but as time
went on the big wholesale supply
houses catered more and more to this
branch, being able to furnish druggists these things cheaper than they
scould prepare them in their stores,
and the result was the gradual taking on of different kinds of merchandise that seemed to naturally fit in
with their other stocks, until we have
reached the present stage (in the cities) where it has become the rule to,
carry so much that seems to be foreign to what used to be expected in
a drug* store.
Before the United States entered
the war Mr. Sugden was stationed in
Switzerland, where he did much
important *wark for Uncle Sam, although ostensibly just an employe in
a drug store. He told of the names
such stores are called in the different European countries, and said that
an employe in Switzeland, by reason
of the location of that republic, must
be able to speak from six to ten different languages and dialects.
The speaker dwelt a little on the
growth of the chain store organizations, and said that while apparently
they seemed to be cutting in on the
ones who are going it alone, the situation would never become so acute
the individual could not continue to
do a good business, for the simple
reason that the chain store managers,
in his line, worked under such high
pressure that the old idea of service
and accommodating ways are relegated to the rear, and the public will
stand for just so much of that kind
of treatment and then go where there
still is a.little sentiment mixed with
business. He disclosed how the bargain lists are made up for the big
sales, the lists containing ten leaders
sold" at a discount, and the balance so
priced that if one were to buy all of
the items they would pay in 'the aggregate more than would be charged
by the independent dealers at regular
prices for an identical list.
THEURER FAMILY REUNION
The fourth annual Theurer family?
reunion was held at the home of Mr.
and Mrsf Gotlob Henzler of Owosso
on  Sunday.    A potluck  dinner was
served at one o'clock. ".
The business meeting was called to
order by the president, George
Theurer. The officers elected for* the
ensuing year are:
President-—George Theurer.
Secretary—Lucile Theurer.
Treasurer— Carl'Schallhorn.
Fifty guests responded to roll call,
the oldest member present being
George Seeger of Ann Arbor and the
youngest Junior Aprill of Ann Arbor.
The afternoon was spent in playing
games and sports.
Guests were present from Detroit
Flint, Ann Arbor and Saline.
