Springbrook Mill Is
Purchased By Alber
    **
Gains Full Ownership of Mill
Which Has Run For
Nearly Century.
Many   Improvements   Made   Within
!Last Few  Years;  Including
New Overshot "Wheel.
With the dissolution of the partnership which has operated! the
Springbrook mills, south of^ Saline
for the pasrt -fifteen years ' another
chapter is added to the history oi
this old institution, which has, been
grinding flour, for nearly a century.
Edward Alber has (purchased ithe interest of Jacob L. Theurer and will
continue to operate the mill. Mr.
Theurer releases his ownership today.
*vfh 1915 Mr. Theurer formed a partnership with Mr. Alber and for the
past fifteen years the mill has been
run under the na)mie of Alber ane
Theurer. Many improvements have
been made in the plant during this
period. First among these is a steel
overshot wheel, which was installed
at considerable expense in 1920. This
wheel is very economical in the
amount of water necessary to turn
it and during a season such, as is being experienced pat present is of great
value. At one time th'e mill was
equipped to operate by steajm, power,
but the plant was discarded before
the installation of the steel wheel.
Previous to the Alber and Theurer
partnership, the mill was operated
by Mr. Alber and his brother, Herman, for four years. They purchaser?
the business from C. B. Peyfer, who
had been in possession for four anci
a half years. S. M. Bixby and So:
ran the mill before that time and ii
was under Mr. Bixby that* Mr. Alber
learned the milling trade. He late:
left this locality for a period of time
and then returned to enter a 'partnership and operate the 'mill_ only.: t
finally become sole owner today.
Mr. Theurer has no plans for the
immediate future.
Painter Plays Prank Upon
Placidly Snoozing Porkers
Local Hogdom In Uproar Over Insult
To Clan for Advertising
Purposes.
One ■dark night last week a "man
crept silently into the pig pen of a
resident Ion the eastern outskirts of
town. In his- hand he carried a paint
brush and a can of red paint. The
porkers snored blissfully on the
straw, dreaming sweet dreams of
wallowing in giant .troughs of mash.
Life was sweet to the porkers, ibut it
was sweeter to- the artist, for the ex^
pression.of true art is the ultimate
in personal satisfaction.
Deftly he dipped his brush into the
can an'd with careful strokes emblazoned a message across the 'bristly backs of the hogs, who were oblivious to all in their journey through
the Land of Nod. Not a pig opened
an eye during the whole silent performance. Swiftly the artist painted his 'message until the -whole pen-
ful had been decorated. Silently he
slipped out of the presence of the
porkers and went away, softly whistling tj-r-himself.
The next morning there was an
angry snorting and grunting among
the brotherhood of hogs. There was
a squealing such as has never beer
heard in all history of local' -hogdom
when the irate future hams beheld
one another. They angrily made
noises that rarely eminate from- the
throats of hogs, for they were being
sacrificed upon the altar of the modern god of advertising! In- brilliant
red paint the legend, "BAR-B-Q,"
was written in a bold hand, across
their backs! The aforesaid resident
on the eastern outskirts of town has
a barbecue stand among other interests and this was an advertising
stunt that he. pulled at the expense
of the porkers.
The Renz family reunion was held
at the home of Henry Bredernitz on
Sunday with 150 in attendance.
Games an'd races were held, for the
children while the grownups held a
social gathering. It was decided to
hold'the 1931 reunion at the home of
Lewis Renz in Lima township.
Officers elected "were:
President—William Lindemann.
Vice   President—H^enry Bredernitz.
Secretary—Alma Steso.

HOLD DOLLAR DAY
Saline merchants will be
hosts to the people cf the community at a big Dollar Day celebration on Wednesday, September 3. Remember to keep
that date open—Wednesday,
September 3—two days after
Labor Day. The business men
of Saline are planning this
great event with two purposes
in view. _ The first is to give to
the people of the locality some
'real bargains in merchandise.
By real bargains is meant values that cannot be duplicated
for one dollar ,at any store during ordinary times. This is to
be a truly bargain Dollar Day.
The second purpose of the"
Dollar Day is to acquaint .the
people of Saline and trading
area with the many opportunities that are to-'bei had in their
own stores. The habit of .buying in Saline-is a good habit.
Oftentimes individuals <do not
realize the value of the offer- -
ings that are made by local
merchants and for this reason
a special event is being prepared in Dollar Day to acquaint
everyone with the stocks of the
business men of the town.   •
As an added feature an em

daises.

Wheeler, as bridesmaids, wore pink,
green and yellow frocks, respectively,
similar tq that of the matron of

Mr. Edward Smith of Lafayette, Indiana.
The ushers were Oscar C. Wheeler,
Jr., Harold Hilsinger of Midalnd and
James H. Mcintosh of Ann Arbor.

the ibride, was the flower girl, and

cloth of Irish hand lace and was centered with, the wedding cake and
tall white tapers.

motor trip through northern Mic*hi-
gan. For traveling the bride wore

POjMERANIAN ELUDES
ATTEMPT AT CAPTURE
Back in the lowlands behind the
property of Herman Gross tiaere is
a little black Pomeranian dog that
is as shy as a 16-year-old girl.. For
several days it has Ibeen scampering
'through the marshland, only appearing in the early morning or at night,
while its owner is far away in Iowa.
The owner passed the night at tlie
home of Miss Cora Hull on the journey back to Iowa and the little dog
escaped when it was left untied for a
short time. Many attempts have
been made to capture the animal, put
it is very particular about who it
picks- up_ with, so that no one has
been able to collar it.
Meanwhile the owner is waiting in
Iowa for someone to make friends
with the little pup and send it back
to her. She wants it badly because
her husfband gave it to h'er little baby
when it was only a day old, and last
May her husband was killed in an
airplane accident near Adrian. ■
It remains for some ibrave 'soul to
capture the little outlaw dog and
send it to Iowa for the little baby
and the widowed mother. The lady
wants it so badly that she has offered five dollars reward for its return.
Miss Cora Hull has her address.
THE COUNTY FAIR
(C. F. Wadsworth in The
Publisher's Auxiliary)
Oh, let us see' the county fair—'
(Forget the cost of living!)
Everybody will be there   v
To see the show they're givin'—
The beef-steers broad,, the cornstalks
tall,
The windmills humming gaily;
The meek-eyed Jersey in the stall,
The races pulled off daily.
We'll go and see the fruit and grain,
That farmers take a pride in,
And maybe find an areoplane
That we can take a ride in.
We want to see .the bread and cakes,
And what the high school teaches;
Examine all the plows and rakes,
And note the blushing peaches.
To see the Fair in days ol yore,
Was not an easy matter;
We had to rise at three or four,
And all was rush, and clatter;
We'd feed and water Ding and D^ong,
And hitch them to the surrey,
But now—"it rambles right along"
And gets there in a hurry.
Albert Smith and a boy friend
hiked home fromi Bay View. They
were in Detroit eight hours after
they left Bay-View. They expect to
fourffl-their way back to Bay View tomorrow.—Petersburg Sun.
Law Breakers Require Nightlong Vigil By Local Justice
Tru|k Driver Brought Before Court

7 T
quired. Permits.
Law breakers were so numerous on
Wednesday night of last week that
Andrew J. Warren, justice of the
peace, stayed up all night performing
the duties of his office. William A.
<Jackson, lieutenant of state police
conected with the^ public utilities
Commission, was in town tooking' for
trucks being driven without the necessary utilities commission, license
plates.
Three trucks were stopped, and the
drivers brought ibefore the local
court. Lieutenant Jackson was assisted by Fred Jahr, local police official. $135 in'fines was collected
from the violators, while one put up
a bond and is to appear for a hearing today. None of the drivers had
sufficient money to get them out of
the toils of the law so they -had to remain until rthey could get financial
assistance from the main offices 'of-
the concerns for whom they were
working.
A lawsuit involving C. L. Green, of
Detroit and Mr. and Mrs. Alfred
Springer resulted in a judgment for
Green of $47 • and costs. This case
was also tried on the same day as
the truck cases. : Four lawsuits are
pending in court^at tbe present time
and will be tried within a few days.
