What Is It?
An accumulation of money, made up of
sums of varying amounts, which will buy
what you desire,'on the best terms possible
—fit your needs to an emergency—protect
you in old age—unlock the door to opportunity—in short, keep life moving upward.
You have already guessed it: a steadily
growing Savings Account. What else could
do more? And so, if you have desires, or
needs, or ambitions, what better could you
do than to come in and open a Savings Account now?

- Because DIXIE Distributors are in the strategic position of independent quantity buyers
of petroleum products, they prescribe quality specifications and maintain them without
variation.
DIXIE contracts are with the largest and
most reputable refiners in the world—who
guarantee an unfailing supply at all times.
With such an infallible source of supply, plus
a state-wide organization of independent
local merchants working hand in hand for
the. service of their customers, car owners
may drive in at any DIXIE Station with full
confidence that they will get maximum value
for their money.

World of Today"
THOSE LITTLE IINER ADS DO THE BUSINESS, TRY 'EM
The members and friends of the Saline Union enjoyed a pleasant and
profitable meeting at the M. E.
church Thursday, March 27.
The committee * in charge, Mrs.
Charles Parsons, Mrs. George V.
Cook and Mrs. Sproal, arranged a
splendid program.
The meeting was called to order by
the president, Mrs..F. McBride, opening with a song from "Everybody
Sing," page 22,  "Rally Song."
Devotions were led by Dr. Kircher
of the Federated church, followed by
song from "White- Ribbon Song
Bool.," page 18, "Carry On."
The usual reports of tha secretary
and treasurer were read and adopted.
Annual election of officers resulted
as follows:
President—Mrs. F. McBride.
Vice President—Mrs. Martha Rogers.
Corresponding Secretary—Mrs. Adelaide Clark.
Recording Secretary—Mrs. Amanda
Rogers.
Treasurer—Mrs. Anna Camburn.
Annual reports will be given at the
April meeting.
County president, Mrs. Anne Blaess,
was present and told of the coining
work and convention plans. Attention was called to our various publications, both national and state; also
announcement was made that the
county convention is to convene at
Manchester April 16. A good attendance is desired of both members
and friends of the cause. Delegates
from the local Union will be appointed by the president.
At the close of the business session Mrs. Parsons took charge of the
program. The first number was an
address by Mrs. Blaess on the subject of "Narcotics." This was very
ably handled and is a very timely
topic. She referred to the report recently issued by the World Confer-
enc on Narcotic Education, which
met in New York City and of which
Richard Pierson Hobson is secretary
general. She quoted statistics found
by.this organization which are appalling; also many facts as to the
widespread evil of the drug habit and
the great necessity of education along
this line among our young people,
thousands of 'whom are ruined thereby every year. Drugs play a large
part in crime. It has been rightly
named the worst scourge of the nation.. Its effect on the brain causes
atrophy of all moral responsibility.
We must be on the watch for it.
Next on the program was a vocal
solo by Mrs: G.- T.' Alexander, accompanied by Mrs. Unterkircher.
This was greatly enjoyed.
A talk by Dr. Kircher was highly
instructive and brought out many
features of the work of the W. C.
T. U-.—He—reviewed the past work,
giving the ^ women a large part of
the credit in past education along
temperance lines, but claimed the
educational work had heen lost in
this, generation in that the schools
are not being interested. The first
years of a child's life are most precious for this work. Much needs to
be done.
He also gave some very strong arguments for prohibition from statistics, both economical and moral,
comparing the past decade with the
present. Figures talk. Conditions
are changed.
Miss Irene Fitzgerald entertained
with a violin solo, accompanied at
the piano by her mother. This was
followed by a question box and open
disucssion, which brought out many
interesting facts and articles, noticeably the enormous propaganda
put on by the opponents of prohibition. We are convinced our ladies
know some things concerning this
great question.
Dainty refreshments were served
by the committee in charge.
The district convention of Washtenaw, Jackson and Monroe will be held
at Blissfield May 1 and 2. Also don't
forget the county convention at Manchester April 16.
, FAVORITE POEMS
MY PRAYER
Great God, I ask thee for no meaner
pelf
Than that I may not disappoint my-
seli; '•  .
That in my action I may soar as high
As I can now discern with this clear
eye.
And   next   in   value which Thy kind'
*- *     ness lends,
That I may greatly disappoint my
friends,
Howe'er they think of hope that it
may be,
They  may  not   dream  how   Thou'st
distinguished me.
That my weak hand may equal my
firm faith.
And my life practice more than my
tongue saith; ,■   ~
That my low conduct" may show,
Nor my relenting" lines,
That I Thy purpose did not know,
Or overrated Thy designs.
—Henry,David Thoreau.

10:30 a. m.
Testimonial meeting Wednesday
evening at 7:30.
A cordial invitation is given to all.

"Unreality will be the subject for
the lesson-sermon in-all Christian
Science churches on Sunday, April 6.
Among the citations which comprise the lesson-sermon are the following from the Bible: "All things
are full of labour; man cannot utter
it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing"
(Eccl. 1:8).
The lesson-sermon also includes the
following' passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures,"
by Mary Baker Eddy: "Spiritual
sense, contradicting the material
sense, involves intuition, hope, faith,
understanding, fruition, reality. Material sense expresses the belief that
mind is in matter . . . When the real
is attained, -which is, announced by
Science, joy is no longer a trembler,
nor is hope a cheat"    p. 298).

CAMP FIRE NEWS
. The Camp Fire Girls are very busy
working on their headbands and ceremonial gowns. These are needed
for the play which they are working
so hard on, and the ranks.
The headbands are necessary before
a girl can fulfill the rank of a Wood-
gatherer; the ceremonial gowns have
to be finished for the Fire Makers
Rank, so all the girls are very busy.
The play, "Any Girl," shows the
work and ideals of the organization,
and will be given at the school assembly April 18 and at the P. T, A.
meeting the following Monday.

COLMAN STARS EST
CONRAD SEA EPIC
"The Rescue" Coming to the Liberty
For Saturday and Sunday.
Using Joseph Conrad's masterpiece..
"The Rescue," as the vehicle for his
first appearance -as an individual star
for Samuel 'Goldwyn, Ronald Colman
will appear before his ^public in a
new light when "The Rescue" comes
to the Liberty theatre Saturday evening. "The hero of "Beau Geste'' and
"Two Lovers"*"now has a role of the
sea and, desperate intrigue among the'
natives of the Malay archipelago.
Herbert Brennon, the same director
who made Colman in "Beau Geste,"
wielded the megaphone for this
United Artists picture, and Lily Da-
mita, Samuel Goldwyn's new French
find, plays opposite Colman as the
beautiful Mrs. Travers.
There is every opportunity for
beauty of setting and matchless drama in the plot of "The Rescue." In
the midst of Captain Tom Lingard's
lawless airs of affairs of honor involving the throne of a.Maylan prince,
blundered an English yacht, fatefully
stranded in the midst of what was to
be the dark theatre of war. Of the
three white passengers, only the owner's wife understood the situation—
and Lingard. On him fell the decision—to save the whites and ruin his
enterprise,;—or let the natives have
their way with them and fulfill t,his
debt to the Malayan prince.
And love!' To Lingard this woman
—"imperfectly civilized".—her husband said-^-came as the first blinding
flash of all woman could mean to
man. Integrity—the duty of a white
to his countryman in the South Seas,
the never-broken word of King Tom
to a native. His whole career—and
this woman. The ineveitable climax
of "The RescUe" is unguessable.
Ronald Colman is said to* have
never appeared tb better advantage
than as the daring wanderer of the
sea—"King Tom," in this thrilling romantic drama.
