SAVE ON THE BUDGET PLAN
*
Ask any man who has made a financial success in life how he accomplished it. His answer will be, "By saving." He did not spend
every cent he made, but built up a fund
which was available when he needed it for
business purposes. He is no different than
you, except that you must learn the saving habit. Save on the budget plan—a certain amount each week going into your
savings account. You will be surprised
how it will grow and earn more money for
you.   Interest 3% yearly.

Essay Prize Winners
Announced Monday
More Than 125 Participated and the
Articles Submitted Very Good.
The Edison essay contest, conduct-:
ed by the school, came'; to a close
Monday with the announcement of
the winners and awarding of prizes.
The students had been waiting impatiently for this occasion and endured breath-taking' suspense while
.Mr. Nurnberger opened the program.
Rev. Wittbracht announced the
winning essays by the numbers thejr
bore. This was very exciting for if*
wasn't until Mr. Nurnberger had
looked up the owner of the number
that we knew who was the winner.
Senior first prize went to Mary.
Mood, $12; second, Alma Wiedman,
$7; third, William Schwacho, ?6.
Juniors, first, Eileen Martin* second, Lauren Alber; third, Velma
Jedele. The amounts received weri.
the same as awarded the Seniors.
The first prize essays were read
by their authors and were very excellent.
The school was. presented a larg.
sized picture of Thomas A. Edison
and two replicas of his first lamp.
The committee, composed of Rev,
C. H. Wittbracht, Dr. J. B. Wallace,
Mrs. Bessie Collins, Mrs. W. E. Dietiker and Mrs. G. O. Woodbridge, selected the fitting topic, "Why We
Honor Edison,' and judged the essays.
Great interest was taken in the
contest as was shown by the 130
essays that were handed in. The
contest was considered very wort!
while and one from which all the
participants received a better knowledge and appreciation of the father
of the incandescent lamp—the hero
of all humanity.

INTERNATIONAL SERVICE
DISCUSSED BY DR. WALLACE
Subject  Ably   Presented   at   Rotary
Meeting Last Thursday.
The subject of International Ser
vice was ably presented to the Rotary Club at their meeting last Thurs-
noon by Dr. J. B. Wallace, chairmav
This subject covers a wide field i*
Rotary work, and in introducing hie
remarks Brother Wallace said: "In
order to develop our interest and ser
vice along the line of international
relations we suggest that three meetings be devoted to that special sub
ject during this year. * At these sessions we suggest:
.'1 The discussion of subjects by
exchange of speakers with a chose**
club.
2. By studying the special country
assigned to us by our District Governor. Also by inviting a professor o:
student from that country to speak
to us about it.
3. By purchasing a stand of flag,
of all Rotarian countries and taking
such steps as will make us familin,:
with these flags."
The speaker also suggested an in
terchange of speakers with some club
in Canada, and then outlined a program for the year along international service lines.
A study of of flags was urged.  "Off
course the first flag to study is ou:
own Old Glory.   We should know it
history from the colonial emblems t
Betsy Ross and on to the present day.
We should know and never neglect
tne proper manner of honoring th-.
flag.    . .   We must have a stand ..
the flags  of all Rotarian countries
Identification   of  flags   by  mernberi
will be interesting  and instructive'
And the Doctor took us back to tL.
earliest known  devices  used  as  or
flags are today, working -up to tf
present in a very instructive way.
"Our special flag meeting will h
in June, just before or after Nationa"
Flag Day.
"If there be any outstanding
product of our community, we
may make interchange of this with
club in Canada or some other country, and receive instruction botr
about our own product and also that
which we receive.
"We may alsp extend this idea
along the line of letters and communications  exchanged with other clubs.
"A meeting at which representatives of six or eight different countries are present might* be arrange •
and have each one speak for five minutes in his own tongue and then
translate what he has said into ou*
own language."
The speaker closed by reading Wil
bur D.  Nesbit's  poem," "Your  Fla£
and My Flag,' a fitting climax to a
very fine meeting.

Opportunity Knocking _
At Saline's Front Door
A little JXimely Effort Expended in
Right Direction Might Land
Big Hospital Here.       '
Since the state has decided not to
acquire the Urania site for the new
psychopatic hospital, the Saline site
is now the one4most likely to be s&r
lected. There Were several reasons
why the Urania location was turned
down, but chiefly because of the high
tension. electric . towers running
through the property:
State authorities have been here
to inspect the new site, which is high,
picturesque and rolling and contains
some of the best land for diversified
farming. The site begins at the river
and runs south on both sides of the
Britton road to the school house,
thence south, thence east to the river,
along the river northerly to the village limits, comprising about 1,400
acres. It takes in the two Finch'
farms, the Smith, Jordan, Rouse.
Nichols, Jaroslawski, Edward DePuy,
Barreith, Haas, Galish and Shaw
properties.
The .New York Central officials
have been in conference with statt
authorities for some time in regard
to a spur track to be built. Officials
and engineers for the railroad were
here again on Monday. It may be
that the state will only want a small
spur and place its power and heating
plant near the track and conduct the
heat south to the site by conduits tc
serve the different units.
It will require two years to build
and equip the hospital and the institution would result in nearly doubling
the size of Saline. Dozens of nice new
homes would have to be built here,
postoffiee facilities would be increased
and all in all it would make for general prosperity for everybody concerned. It is stated that this is the
most beautiful site offered and has
many advantages not found in other
localities, and in addition is very near
Ann Arbor's medical college-and hospitals.
Every effort should be made by all
to further the location of this big in
3titution here. There are too many
possibilities involved for the future
prosperity of the village not to do so
DOLORES  DEL RIO
MAKES BEARS PALS
Movie   Star  Has  Bruins 'Eat  From
Her Toes Not to Say Hands
in Film.
How would you like to walk arm
in arm with a 750 pound bear?
That's what you will see Dolores
Del Rio doing in "Revenge," which
comes to the Liberty theatre for Saturday and Sunday.
In this latest Edwin Carewe production which stars the Mexican actress, she is seen with as many as 50
bears at one time. The story centers,
about the taming of wild bears by
the gypsies and Dolores is the chief
bear trainer of the tribe.
The average person would think
twice before letting a bear kiss hi:-
or her lips. However, that is nothing
for Dolores. One scene shows the
fiery little star with two bears eating raisins stuck between her toes<
And that isn't all. She tames wild
bears as though they Were kittens.*
She tried to tame a man the same
way—and failed.
You will see how it all happened
when you visit the theatre and watch
Dolores Del Rio do her stuff in "Revenge."
SAY LIVESTOCK DOES
BETTER ON WARM WATE-l
Good feeders have long recognized
the value of liberal quantities of water to all classes of livestock, says a
prominent research department. Hogs
"do better" and are more thrifty, and
cows give more milk when they
drink freely. One justification of the
old slopping method of feeding hogs
was the fact that it encouraged them
to drink great amounts of water.
Experiment station tests and farm
experience have established beyond
question the value of warm water for
stock during winter weather. In one
-test with fall pigs, the use of automatic heated waterers saved .1 per
pig in feeding costs. A cow producing five gallons of milk a day will
drink about 20 gallons of water. If
she is compelled to drink that
amount of ice water, much of her
energy is required to heat it to body
temperature, and her production suffers.
Tank heaters and automatic waterers help solve the problem of
worm water in winter. Some of the
automatic waterers can be used to
heat water in cold weather and to
keep it cool in summer.
In the good old days the city slickers drove out into the country and
sold lightning rods to the farmers,
much to the disgust of the latter
when the series of notes given in pa?/
ment fell due at the town bank
Now it seems they've reversed the
old order of things, all except the
notes, robbers slipping out of the city
last week and stealing the lightning
rods , off the Charles Ginnebaugb
farm east of Collins. Indications are
that somebody drove a truck up to
the barn, hitched onto the grounded
end of the rods and tore them loose.
The value of the rods is said to be in
the copper they contain.—Ionia News
A flock of sheep belonging to Mr.
Guenther, who lives on the Ben Feldkamp farm between here and Manchester, were badly mangled this
week when dogs got into the Sock.
•fhree were dead, four had to be killed and eighteen were brought to the
barn and are expected to die. The
dogs have not been found.—Clinton
