Safe from Fire
Valuable  papers,  Bonds,   Securities   and
similarly important documents—if kept in
the home—are in constant danger of destruction by fire. For Fate, in dealing out
flames, makes no choice.
Better to put such valuables beyond the
reach of destructive elements. Somewhere
where you have "peace of mind" that they
are safe from possible loss or damage and
where you can get them when you need
them.
That "somewhere" is in a—

While there are several conflicting
stories afloat concerning a location
for the new State hospital, from late
reports it seems safe to say that the
section of land around Urania Station in York township will be the one
chosen. The price of land in the different localities has been one of the
causes for delay on the part of the
committee
The amount of land required is
1,200 acres, and we are told the option covers one of the side tracks of
the Ann Arbor railroad at Urania.

and Saline's fire department made a
speedy run, but were able only to
save adjoining property, the granary
and garage. A tractor and the few
tools in the barn'were saved, the hay
crop oeing consumed as was a large
stack of straw.
The cause of the fire is still a mystery, the theory of spontaneous combustion being almost beyond reason
as much of the hay had been mowed
away ever since June and early July.
The separator was owned by the
neighbors, who had it for their own
use, and it had been put in the barn
for the winter.
The property carried fair insurance,
but far below the loss. «■
REV. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON
To Speak at Masonic Rally in Ann
Arbor Monday Evening,
Rev. Newton is rector of St. Paul's
Memorial church, Overbrook, Philadelphia, and is widely known throughout this country and England through
his lectures, magazine articles, sermons and Moronic publications. He
served four years as minister of the
City Temple, London, England, and
six years as minister of the Church
of Divine Paternity, New York.
Rev. Newton served as Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of Masons of
Iowa and is the author of a number of
ever experienced,
This is -the situation' in "The Cameraman," Keaton's new Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer comedy which comes to
the Liberty theatre for Saturday and
Sunday. It is a hilarious succession
of trials, tribulations and troubles,
with a love romance with pretty Mar-
celine Day on the side and a spectacular Chinatown tong war with machine
gun embellishments for a huge thrill.
"The Cameraman" was directed by
Edward Sedgwick, and shows Keaton
as an aspiring newsreel man chasing
the elusive "Story" in New York.
He gets mixed up in a parade and
almost arrested, he tries to film a
boat race and gets all mixed up with
a churning propellor, he's almost
droyned, dragged over the streets—
then, goes to Chinatown, finds himself
in a tong war, hides In a pipe to
dodge the bullets and is used for. a
human battering ram by a Chinese
attacking army.
Outside of that it's quite uneventful
for Buster—as uneventful as sitting
on a can of dynamite ahd pounding
it with a hammer.
Much of the picture was taken in
New York, including the scenes at
the city hall, Yankee stadium, and in
Mayor Jimmy Walker's office. A sensational boat race was staged at New
port for the picture.
A complete Chinatown street with
500 oriental actors marked the big
battle scene in the picture, and sever
