FOODSTUFFS for Tempting
Warm Weather Menus
It is much too "warm to labor over a !hot stove, preparing hot
dishes and perhaps the family is tired of the same old thing, anyway,
so why not ohoose Tegularly from our stock of warm weather foodstuffs for menus that are appetizing and easy to prepare? You'll
find that everyone around the table will relish the things we offer
and you'll save many weary, hot hours in the kitchen.   We suggest:
Sandwich Spread
Canned Baked Beans
Olives Crackers
Dried Beef Pickles
Radishes
Sandwich Bread
Fresh Fruits
Potted Meats
Green Onions
Potato Chips
Cookies

Saline Loses To Ann   | Know y^r Neighb
Arbor In Close Game l"°——
i
gnborj
Errors and  Poor Judgement
Displayed By Both
Teams.
Game is Below Standard Due to Activities of Old Sol, Who Saps
Vitality of Players.
Old Sol was too much for baseball
Sunday. The excessive heat botnered
players and spectators alike, so the
contest was nothing to rave about.
Errors and poor baseball contributed
to place the game far below the
standard that the team had set in
the encounter of the previous week
with Teeumseh.
Nine and ten was the final count
and the score indicates the closeness
of the contest. First Saline and thei
Ann Arbor would forge into the leau
In the eighth inning the local lads
came within one run of .taking ths
lead, which they had during the first
four innings but lost in a disastrous
fifth. This was the stanza 'in which
four errors marred the festivities of
the day.
On several occasions it seemed a'
though the sun had taken more than
its usual toll from the vitality of both
the players' physical and menta'
abilities. Ann Arbor and Saline alike
seemed to be working under a strain
that no doubt was caused by the terrific waves of heat that bore dowr
upon the playing field.
The result of this contest makes a
signal mark in the progress of th*;
Ann Arbor team, as it is the first
game that can be recorded in the
win column for them. The irony pt
the thing comes from the fact that
it should be chalked up against the
team that defeated the league leaders only last week.
Next week will see the Saline team
in a battle with league-leading Milan
at the latter's field, which should
prove a good contest, the weather
not too hot.

Construction Progresses
Steadily On New School
Bids for Old Buildings Have Not Been
Accepted Yet, But Decision
Expected Soon.
Brick laying, sheet metal, 'and partition work have occupied the men
employed on the new school building
during the last week. This part of
the construction is of a fussy nature
so progress is slow and not readily
apparent. It is expected that the
rootling will soon be completed over
the gymnasium, which is the* last section to he put in. The ventilating
fans have heen installed and the
floor is being laid in the basement,
which will eventually become the
manual training and lunch rooms. *
The bids for the old building have
not been decided upon as yet, although several are being considered.
A decision is expected within a short
time.
Window sash will be placed in position soon. It is of the modern steel
type which allows for ,plenty of light
passage. The lighting arrangement
for the whole structure is of the most
up-to-date design, according *to A. A.
Kalder, superintendent.
JOHN W.  HULL
Yesterday was the birthday of one
of Saline's oldest residents, who has
lived all of his eighty-eight years in
Saline or Saline township. On July
23; 1842, a boy "was born to Sylvanus
Lawrence Hull and Mary Bartlett
Hull, and was named John W. Hull.
He grew up on the farm and attended
the Union District school until he
was 19 years old, when he went to
the Normal college at Ypsilanti.
For some time after attending th-?
college he worked upon his father's
farm. In 1867 he left the farm and
established a hardware (business in
Saline in partnership with L. N. Risdon. The firm operated thus for two
years and then became Webb and
Hull.- Mr. Hull's first store was on
the site of the present Burkhar.
Store. Later he moved to the brick
building now occupied by Fred Layher, Jr., where he was in business for
20 years.
In 1870 a great event happened for
Saline. A railroad was put through
and it was possible to ship by ra.
from 'the town. Mr. Hull was one (
the first to realize the importance oE
the convenience and established a
shipping business in produce and
stock. He continued in this line for
20 years. In one momentous year
8,000 barrels of apples went out on
the (trains from Mr. Hull's establishment. This business was later sold
to the Cool Brothers.
Mr. Hull was made a master Maso:
in 1868 in the old lodge rooms above
what was later his store next to Tht*
Observer office. He was an auctioneer
and officiated at many of the farm
sales for a period of two decades.
In recalling events of the past, Mr
Hull compared the excitement tha;
was in evidence during the World
war with the much tmore intense feeling that kept the countryside on edge
during the Civil war. He recalled
some of the old political campaigns
that were characterized (by high feeling aroused by bands, speakers, and
hoorah men. Pole raising was a popular diversion of the political parties.
The Democrats hoisted hickory poles
and the Republicans tamaracks.
Sixty-five years ago Saline was all
in a hoil because of the possibility
of becoming rich and renowned from
the salt deposits that were said to
be present in the vicinity. There was
much activity south of town where
test bores were sunk, tout little ever
came of the efforts.
Saline was the scene of a mammoth
fife during the late seventies, when a
block of stores on the south side oi
East Michigan evenue burned. The
buildings were all frame and identically alike -with gable ends, a story
and a half in height.
Mr. Hull now lives with his daughter on East Michigan avenue, but resided in a large square brick house
on Monroe street for a period of
30 years.
Damage to the extent* of over S200
was suffered by the Manchester Handle factory here early Friday morning, when fire broke out in the shavings room. Stephen Baker, an employee at the factory, discovered the
blaze, which was caused hy spontaneous combustion, and sent in the
alarm.
Although the fire started at 6:15.
it was well under control in less than
an hour, and fine factory was in operation at 10 o'clock. Thomas Shurtz,
owner of the plant, .expressed his
thanks to the many people who aided the department in putting out the
flames.
The shavings room is separated
from the building by a partition anc
is on the east side of the factory.
Shavings are forced into -the storage
place by a blower system, where they
remain until utilized as fuel for the
boiler.
The fife rapidly spread from the
pile of shavings to the wooden walls
of the room, which were completely
consumed on the east and south sides
and rthe other walls were badly
charred. No damage was done to
the boiler room or to the workshop,
or any of the valuable machinery.
The fire department responded in
short order to the call and was assisted hy many townspeople who
gathered when the alarm was sounded. 'Two hose lines in the main shop
of the factory were brought into action and prevented, with the chemical apparatus of the fire department,
any spread of the flames outside of
(the shavings department.
Mr. Shurtz the owner, did not know
of the hlaze until it was nearly out.
He states that the loss is not covered by insurance.

ROXARY CLUB MEETING
Last Thursday's program consisted largely of a song-fest, led by
Edward Henne, with Mrs. Merritt
Martin at the piano. Mr. Eckley ot
Ypsilanti was: the only out-of-town
guest.
Lee Tescher was called on for a
few remarks, because he had a birthday recently, and acquitted himself
very nicely.
Miss Muriel Woodbridge and Wesley
Dietiker were guests of the cluh, and
Mr. Henne in a few happy remarks
presented each with a loose-leaf hinder with a liberal supply of fillers, to
use in future school work. These
young people have heen very gracious
in presiding at the piano at the meetings since the eluh was organized,
hence the tokens, of appreciation.
Both were taken completely by surprise, but quickly recovered and expressed the pleasure that had heen
theirs in playing for the members and
voiced their appreciation of the mementos.
