IT'S YOUR DOLLAR, MISTER
When you're tempted by wild advertising and wildcat prices on gasolines and motor oils, remember one
thing—these boys aren't after each other, they're, after YOU! Their only interest is getting your dollar,
quickly.
Dixie stations are established local enterprises—
not dollar-snatchers. At every Dixie station you'll
buy quality products at a fair price, today, tomorrow
and every day.
That's why thousands of motorists stop only at
the Dixie sign.   They get a real dollar's worth.

Saturday will be "Poppy Day'-' in
Saline and in thousands of other cities and towns throughout the United
States. America, going to work Saturday morning, will find women anct
girls % on the streets * wearing the
badge of the Americarn Legion and
Auxiliary and offering bright red
poppies to be worn in honor of the
men who lost their lives in the World
war. By night the little flowers of'
remembrance will glow on millions
of coats and the coin boxes or tne
poppy sellers will clink with the
country's annual-offering for the disabled veterans and their dependents.
The poppies to be sold have all
been made by disabled1 World war
veterans, thousands of whom have
heen given employment making the
flowers for the sale. Under the direction of the joint poppy committee
of the American Legion and Auxil- I
iary of Michigan, 1,000,000 poppies,
replicas of the wild poppies of '
France and Flanders, have oeen i
made in the U. S. Veterans' hospital
at Battle Creek. The work has been
given to these disabled men who receive no compensation and wnbse
families are in great need, and the
penny apiece paid for shaping the
little flowers has meant food, sneiter^
clothing and fuel for many veterans-
families during the winter and
Spring.
Many other women's organizations
will join the American Legion  and
Auxiliary in the poppy work Saturday.    Girls  from high school  clubs,
church groups and college sororities
| will sell poppies by the side-of gray- :
| haired Gold Star mothers whos= ouus
;' lie beneath the poppies   in   France,
j The wives of former colonels and the
', wives  of former privates will worij.
1 together.   In the poppy sale a reviv-
j al the war-timse efforts which united
j all the women of the country will be
I seen.
| Every penny of the dimes, quart-
t ers and dollars .which the nubile will
I pay for its poppies Saturday will go
i to the relief of the disabled veterans
I an<l their families through the relief
. activities of the Legion and auxi!-
I iary. Total receipts are expected to
! exceed $1,000,000.00 enroughout •r.ic
j United States.
One of Saline's oldest landmarks,
the Williams homestead, was destroyed by flames Wednesday afternoon
of last week at about 5:30 o'clock.
It is estimated that the cottage was
built in about 1870 by James Williams. Who was born in slavery in
the South and-who had, in some
manner, reached Carrada and returned to Michigan shortly after the
Civil -war.
Although the cottage itself would
not attract attention for its intrinsi'*
■vjalue, the simple atmosphere created
hy it. and its surroundings, a veritable jungle of beautiful lilac bushes
fruit trees and sweet smelling ground
vines, made it reminiscent of the <*>""
south, and attractive to the artistic
sense of many a photographer and
painter.
James Williams, the first ownpr
came to this vicinity in 1867 and
worked on, a farm belonging to Joh-
Woods. He moved to Saline and
built his little home in 1870, then
went to -Canada and brought bac*r
his wife, who had been Mary Brooks.
Two sons of this union are still liv-
insr* Charles, an attorney in Detroit,
and Henry, a postal clerk at Kalamazoo.
At one time Mr. Williams was em-
"loved to operate the nress for Th'*

Many of our older citizens remember
him and speak very highly of him.

Nearly aU 'of the members of the
4-H Corn club boys were pi-Esent at
the home *of Arthur Lutz, Wednesday evening of last week, and received practical lessons in treating seed
corn by their leader,  Mr. Lutz.
Later Arthur Hagen presided over
the business session, during -which
the following officers were elected
for the ensuing year; „
President—Ira Hauk.
Vice President—John Burg:
■Secretary—Warren  Finkbeiner.
Treasurer—Willard Feldkamp.
Other interesting features, to
those new to club -work, -were the
singing and the instruction ux new
members in the club pledge.*
The fathers of most of the boys
were present and their sponsors, local RiOtarians. Light refreshments
were served. Mrs. Henry Bredernitz
and Mrs. Frank Hauk assisting Mrs.
Ada Lutz :n this pleasant task.

"We. of course, atipre'ciate that we
; are, Indeed, living- in a new era and
that new thoughts and new qomn-
' tions are the order of the day."
stated Ban South, Ypsilanti Rotar-"
Jan. in a talk before the local club
Thursday noon.
"However," he continued, "who
has ever lived in an era that was not
new? If we are not awake to ths
trend of the times, then surely only
the good Lord alone can preserve us
from hecoming a disintegrating organization without object and with-
| out success.
"17-2(Jths    of    the    functions    or
Rotary clubs should be built around
! community service, and the remam-
[- ing 3-20ths should cover all of their
social   activities;   luncheons,    lacies
; nights, fun, frolic and etc."
• Mr. South gave examples of tne
!-fine work being done "by organic
i tions, in other towns in assisting the.
' jobless, helping the poor, aiding
; criippled children and many otlier
'; "benevolent works.
j He continued to stir the Rotarians
; on by quoting- from the MicnigaiL
■j Investor and fitting the quotation to
I Rotary: "Outstripping Self". "Our
i business in life is not to get ahead of
'; others, but to get ahead of ourselves.
. To break our own record. To out-
! strip our yesterday by our today.
J To do our work with rfiner finish tnan
I ever. This is the true idea—to get
i ahead of ourselves."
i Guests at the meeting were Dr.
'■ D. W. Meyers, Ann Arbor, wno pro-
* mised   to    talk   here   in    the   near
future, and Max Fosdick, Saline.
Safe hits at times when they were
needed by the Milan boys brought
victory over the Saline Independents
here Sunday afternoon, by a score of
11-4. Although the Saline boys out-
hit their opponents in tbe total for
tjie entire game by 12 against 11, the
blows were scattered while chose of
the visitors were'bunched in the second, third and fourth innings, and
brought in a total of nine runs.
The locals showed a considerable
improvement in all departments over
anything they have done this year,
and "Doc" Wheeler, their manager,
feels that with a few changes and
more nractice, the team will soon
be up to par.
The batting order was as follows-.
