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

you in old age—unlock the door to opportunity—in short, keep life moving upward.

THOSE LITTLE LINER ADS DO THE BUSINESS, TRY 'EM
f  '•    .    ~
(From the Brighton Argus)
The, picture of little Lois Allen,
who has been chosen from among SO
children at the Veterans of Foreign
Wars National Home at Eaton Rapids for a special duty, that of presenting President Hoover with the
first poppy made by disabled veterans
for the poppy sale of 1930, recently
appeared on the front page of a Detroit daily.
The accompanying article, clear and
concise, started all its readers to
thinking and talking of "Poppy Day"
and its meaning, for it carried them
back to the days of 1917-18 when
their own dear lads were fighting
among the poppies of France and to
those who are resting there now beneath them. What a picture can be
drawn from a few lines of the poem,
"Flanders Field."
"In Flanders field the poppies blow,
Between the crosses, row by row."
To our ex-service men this is a
reality, to some of us, an imaginative
picture, to others the realization of
the supreme sacrifice some dear one
has paid. They are gone but they
will never be forgotten.-
But memories of those who have
passed on bring thoughts of many
who did not die but -who came back
to a life of suffering and pain. -Each
year our hospitals are being crowded
with more and more of the brave lads
who have tried to struggle on but at
last have been obliged to seek aid for
their tired and worn bodies and
troubled  minds.
Ma-ay of them live over daily the
horrors of that awful conflict; They
close their eyes only to see the un-
believeable suffering and torture of
their comrades and to hear the cries
of agony and pain from some whom
they were forced to injure.
War is war and we cannot eliminate its gloom but we can help to
brighten the darkened lives of those
who fought for us "over there."
Many of our disabled veterans depend on the making of the poppies
for part of their livelihood. These
poppies are sold through Veteran organizations and auxiliaries. ~ Th_
money obtained by these sales is used
only for the welfare and relief funds.
No price is set on the little paper
symbol you will be asked to buy just
before Memorial day. School children's pennies are just as acceptable
as the rich man's dollars. Just remember, that what you give is a donation to help relieve the suffering
caused by the war, and that somewhere someone has had a bit of sunshine because of the poppy you
bought. They did their part so let's
stick by them and as we read "Wearing of the Poppy" let's resolve to do
our bit.
Wearing of the Poppy
"Tis not to flaunt our service,
Or in pride of days of war,
But a sacred memorial token
Of comrades gone before.
In legions red like crimson,
On the fields of France they grew.
With the Wind Flower and Forget-
me-not,
Our own Red, White and Blue.
Every cross road, town and city
Will honor each year the brave,
Who lie enslaved on beds of pain
And who sleep in a soldier's grave.
'Tis not to flaunt our service
But an emblem, a Legion tie,
Of service for God and Country
Lest comrades' faith might die.
Frank J. Schneller.
FAVORITE POEMS
THE WORLD WASHED
I saw God wash the world last night
With His sweet showers on high,
And then when morning came
I saw Him hang it out to dry.
He washed each tiny blade of'grass.
And every trembling treje;
He  flung His   showers   against  the
hills
And swept the billowy sea.
The white rose is a cleaner white,
The red rose is more-red
Since God -washed every fragrant face
And put them all to bed.
There's not a bird, there's not a bee
That wings along the way
But is a cleaner bird and bee
Than it was yesterday.
I saw God wash the world last night;
jAh, would He had Washed me
As clean of all my dust and dirt
As that old white birch tree!
—William Stidger.

Federated Church Notes
C. E. Kircher. D. D.. Pastor
We are glad to see so many at the
services. We are glad to see new
faces in our pews. Come again.
Next Sunday is Palm Sunday. Ev- '
ery one shoud make an effort to be
present. The sermon will be in keeping with the day. The music will be
just what the day suggests. The
choir will sing "Ride On in Majesty"
and Mr. Henne -will sing "The
Palms." The morning service will be
a great one. Come and enjoy the
worship. Palm Sunday fits one for,
Easter. j
The evening service will be Palm '
Sunday service, given in music and
song.    The   junior   choir   will   sing
"Like Angels Whisper Steady."
Next Sunday we begin Holy Week.
Easter will not give you much meaning unless you travel with Christ
during Holy Week. If you want Easter to be a day of ioy, then come
Sunday night at 8 o'clock and enter
into the spirit of this week.
At the evening service Holy Week
will be highly illustrated by pictures
showing Christ coming up to the awful tragedy. The stereopticon shows
this week as you can realize in no I
other way. Come and see. Bring
the children. '■

Every few days a man, or gang of
men, hit town and canvass for roofing jobs, and quite of.ten land one,
despite the fact that ahout ■ every
kind of wanted material in the line
of roofing is sold in Saline at a price
that is as low, or lower, than is asked by the outsider. Too, we have very-
competent workmen in Saline -who
should be considered, when it comes
to passing out -work.
Our dealers in roofing materials
bear their just share, or more, in the
upkeep of village, township and county, and deserve- at least an opportunity to bid on all jobs given out, public or private. Also, in case of faulty materials or other debatable questions they are always here where they
can be consulted and will be found to
be anxious to rectify any mistake
that may be their fault. Not so, your
transient—he's here today and tomorrow if you should chance to want tc
talk to him, it may require a force
of sleuths to gather him in.
Our carpenters and builders make
their homes with us, pay .taxes', donate their share toward our chari^
ties or public enterprises, and especially now when work is slack, should
at least be given the same consideration the outsider receives—a. chance
to bid on such work.
* We have had -an opportunity during the past 17 years to patronize all
local building supply dealers and nearly all of our mechanics; we've never
even considered it necessary to ask
for bids on anything, and to date we
have no fault to find either with
workmanship or materials.
Again we suggest, give the home
people, business men or mechanics,
at least a "fair show for their white
alley."
BIRTHDAY PARTY
Friday evenmg when Mr. and Mrs.
Edward J. Muir returned to their
home after attending a show in Ann
Arbor, they found friends had taken
possession during their absence. They
had come from Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti
and Saline, 17 in all, with well filled
baskets to help celebrate Mrs. Muir's
birthday. The evening was spent
with games and visiting and at a late
hour the guests departed, leaving
many beautiful gifts for their hostess
as reminders of the occasion, as well
as best wishes for many happy returns qf the day.
