Didn't   "Even   Get   a   Single' Run  to
Show for Tlieir Efforts.
Saline took their final drubbing
from Manchester Sunday, 13 to 0.
Although only nine hits were made
off Saline pitchers they were turned
into a baker's dozen of runs.
We were unable to get sufficient
players together to give the boys
their regular places and numerous errors was the result. But hope springs
eternal, etc., and next spring is
another day, and with a new battle-,
field, if we have one, we promise, a"
better team. If we don't have a playh,
ing field in Saline the boys have "an
offer to play all games away from
home.
ROTARY CfLTJB "MEETING
There was a good attendance at
the Rotary Club last Thursday, and
all were well repaid for turning out.
George Schmid, Jr., gave a "vocational talk that proved very interesting. Among other things he told of
the time, before the introduction of
refrigerators, when 'it wasn't possible
to carry much stock on hand
—that one had to butcher a beef at
night, put it on sale in the morning,
and kill no more until that was practically all sold. In those days, too,
it was considered unhealty to eat
pork during the summer, and as to
eating veal—it simply wasn't -dorms-
He traced the development of refrigeration from the first crude ice box
up to the present elaborate electric
systems. Likewise he told of the development of other mechanical devices, such as grinders, sausage stuffing apparatus, and altogether made
a very wort?!' _*hile talk.
E. F. Henne told of his recent trip
to Niagara Falls with his family and
his mother, the party making the entire journey without tire trouble or
other annoying incidents. They paid
a visit to the big exposition at Toronto and were more than favorably
impressed with it—in fact, so much
so he recommended that every member of the club who could do so
visit Toronto when their exposition is
in progress, as it is more than well
worth attending.
SEASON OF AUCTIONS
IS FAST APPROACHING
With fall comes auctions and with
auctions come bills and advertisements all over the country. The
season is fast approching and to
those who are considering having an
auction sale, especially those living
within the radius of Saline's trading
territory, are urged to see what this
newspaper has to offer in the line
of territory coverage and the price
we have on -sale bills.
A check-up of the users of Observer printing and advertising last
year showed that the results were
more than satisfying and with less
expense for advertising than usual.
STATE'S OIL INDUSTRY
IS NEAR MILLION CLASS
The oil industry in Michigan is
stepping' into the "million " dollar"
class, figures from the offices of the
state tax commission show, and with
the development of the industry Michigan stands to receive a substantial
increase in its revenue. Based upon
the tax collection of $15,141.68 during
July the production in the three
fields, Muskegon, Mt. Pleasant and
Saginaw, the value of the oil and gas
brought above the surface in that
period was in excess of $750,000. The
tax levy is two per cent on the value
of the gas and oil at the well and
without the deductions which are
made for handling.—Michigan Investor.

Ladies  From Milan  Narrowly
Escape Fatal Injuries.
Another bad auto wreck occurred
at about 7 o'clock Wednesday morning almost, under the red light at the
main four corners, when a Chrysler
car from. Milan, with Mrs. Isabell
Conklin and Mrs. Lucy Knoll as oc-
pants, struck an Indiana truck. The
car belonged to Roy Alf erd of Milan,
and the ladies were enroute to the
Kyer laundry in Ann Arbor, where
they are employed.
The truck, . going east, had the
right-of-way. The sedan came from
the south at high speed, evidently not
under control of the driver. When
the car hit the truck it was turned
completely around and crashed into
the curb in front of the Saline Confectionery, badly wrecked.
The two women were thrown to the
pavement unconscious. Doctors Wallace and Woodbridge gave first aid
assistance and the ladies sent to the
hospital. Their injuries were not considered serious.
