A Big Bee At The
Saline School House
,*#yr
"Friday,   September  16,   Set as
When School Yard Will
! Be Graded.
Date
1     In the dim, dim days of long- ago, ,
when the world was young, when all |
the girls wore  their hair  and  their j
skirts both long-, when all the boy? j
started a moustache as soon as they j
had to shave, it was a common oc- '
currence to have ra "bee"  to accom- I
plish   a   piece   of   public   or  private '
work   which  would    otherwise  have
taken a long time   The men from, far
and near  gathered  to  display  their
muscle and agility—first in doing the
, 'work necessary to put the "bee"
over, later to eat, and finally to show
by races and wrestling matches the
strength and skill of the champions
. of the various localities.
! On Friday, September 16, it is
planned to -revive 'at least a part of
• this ancient custom andi "to liave a
j "bee" for the purpose of completing
; the grading of the school yard. Eats
' will be provided by a group "of the
! ladies of the town, but just which
, ones it is not yet "settled. :No matter
1 which ones do ■ it, a dinner will be
[ provided! at noon for the workers.
J Also, while many have offered their
• services, we still need about twenty
; men with   shovels,   half  that   many
picks, four or five teams with plows [
. and slip scrapers.,  and^three cr four j
tractors with onejplow and scrapers
i for the remainder. If you feel that
: you'd like to help   out in this   "bee"
■'and keep- taxes down to that extent
■ while   still   getting  the   yard   to be
■ more of-' a civic credit to- the ,
city,   Write,    see, or   telephone   Mr. •
, Kalder,     telling:     him     what     you.
i can       bring.      Gasoline       and     oil '
will be   furnished   for   the  tractors
used   if   the   owners   ask   for   these ,
supplies. ;
Two or three of "the men who-are.
interested hope to call on and solicit
aid from others who .iriay be willing
to help. If they don't see you, don't .
be offended. Let Mr. Kalder hear
what you can bring andi do and enroll
yourself in a fight against weeds and
neglect where n.o politics enter into
the selection of men—and women. :

STATE BOARD CUTS
eOUNTY'VALUATION
Washtenaw Real Estate is Reduced
$19,000,000 from 1931
Figure.
A reduction by the state board of
equalization of approximately $19,-
000,000 in the equalized valuation of
Washtenaw county real estate has
been announced by the county treasurer's office after official notification
from Lansing.
The large reduction means a cut in
the amount of state tax paid by the
individual, although the tax rate for
this year is higher than in 1931. Last
year the rate was a trifle lower.
The state board this year made an
aggregate equalization of the valuation of $113,414,000 as compared to
the 1931 figure of $132,665,000.
The valuation as equalized by the
"j/Va'shtenaw county board of supervisors this year was $93,459,020 as
compared to the board's figure of
$109,514,000 last year. The amount
added, to this figure by the state
board this year was $19,954,880,
while in 1931 the state board added
$23,150,350.
The reduction by the state board,
officials state, is largely attributable
to the reduction in the valuation
made by the county board.—Manchester Enterprise.

By Horace B. Johnson
Candidates Are Asked Not to
Place Signs Along Highways
The Washtenaw County Board ot
Road Commissioners have made their
perennial plea to candidates of all political parties not to litter the highways* of this county with their advertising signs'.
The attention of all citizens is invited  to   the  State Law  prohibiting
such practice.   This law states that—
"No person, firm or corporation shall j
erect or cause to be erected on or j
along any highway  any .sign,  guide j
•post, marker or advertising device * *
* and no sign, marker or advertising
device shall be painted upon, attached
to or made to form a part  of any
fence, building, rock or other surface
that marks, or is on the line of, the
highway right of way . . ."
The placing of any sign upon trees
or shrubs is expressly prohibited and
is covered in the law by a separate
Act of" the Legislature.
The cooperation received in the_past
lias been appreciated and a like attitude is desired this year particularly due to reduced budgets, which are
called upon to carry the expense of
-removing all unauthorized advertising.

Picked up a hitch-hiker Monday, a
young husky American going south
on M-50 to challenge Toledo and the
world as a marathon- dancer. It developed that we knew his family,"
stalwart farmers, his1 father and
mother-of the thoroughly good kind
with the ideals of the best times before the jazz age. And a little lump
came in our throat as .we thought of
whafmight be the feelings of the. parents, now gone, to know that their
boy was on such a pilgrimage. We
know a big policeman in Toledo
whose pet peeve is against these debilitating, shuffling, straining marathon dances?"- And we hope this big
cop will have an opportunity to turn
this boy around and with a swift
kick if necessary start him back up
country where he belongs.—Brooklyn
Exponent.
While plowing for- -wheat and' rye
has been delayed in some sections recently because of dry g-round, Michi-
gan wheat growers are planning to
expand their acreage this fall, according to the official report.. 'The
high yields; secured from the* last
three crops have undoubtedly been a
factor in stimulating this ^increase.
The indicated acreage to be sown this
fall is 740,000 acres or six- per cent,
more than the 698,000 acres seeded
in 1931. Actual plantings may vary
from this figure according to. the extent to "which weather conditions at
seeding time are more or less favorable than average. Michigan's wheat
acreage reached a low record level
this past season, and even .though
the above indications are carried out,"
next year's~acreage will still be con^
siderably below averag;e.
The indicated •acreage**of rye-to be
sown for all purposes this fall is
193,000 or four per cent less than
the 201,000 seeded* last fall.
The "United States -wheat intentions
report shows 39,805,000 acres to be
sown this fall as compared with 40,
172,000 seeded last year. The acreage of rye to -be sown for all purposes is indicated at ■*4,611,000 acres,
which compares with 4,853,000 -planted a year ago.

The way of the columnist is hard:
any interesting facts' will be appreciated if sent to me, either in care or
this paper or direct to Rock Hill, S. C.
Hoover voluntarily reduced his salary to $60,000. If Herb figures he 15
only worth $5,000 a month, why can 1
some .of these railway executives cut
their salaries ? That would save them
borrowing quite so much money.
American tourists spent $570,000,-
000 abroad last year. Yet they say
times are hard in America. The keynote of the past session of Congress
was Economy. They succeeded in
spending only $237,000,000 more
than last. time. American transport
airlines said to have traveled $13,000-
000 miles in night flying last year.
In* night flying we are leading the
world. Average farm wages in South
Carolina, 55c a day. In Massachusetts, $2.60 a day.
America, the land of the Fad. 2,700
people in, New York City alone given
employment because of the white
duck cap fad. Why not bottle some of
this campaign hot air for heating our
homes this winter?
Will Rogers,'school teacher, elected
overwhelmingly as representative 'at
large in Oklahoma. Voters evidently
thought he was Will from Claremore"-
Never hazarded a guess as to the end
of the depression before, but will
venture to say it will be. history by
fall of '33. Present estimates are
that there are born each year 547,-
500,000 and in the same period there
are 365,000,000 deaths, of a yearly-
gain of 182,000,000.     , v
There are nearly 6,000 murders
committed yearly in the U. S. at
the present rate. Eggs, in Russia-
are selling at $2.65 per dozen, while
butter is $5.50 a pound. How would
you like to be a butter-and-egg man
in Russia?
We mentioned in the beginning the
-way of the columnist is hard. So is
it with the editors and publisher^.
Witness these two stories:
The evangelist was preaching on
the subject of paying one's debts.
He called for all who paid their debts
to stand. All stood but one dejected
little man. When the others were reseated,, the speaker asked the meek
hombre, why he didn't pay his debts
so that he, too, might stand and look
the world in the face.
"Well, you see, sir, I am tbe publisher of the local paper, and these
people who have just been standing
are my subscribers and—''
"Let us pray,'* 'interrupted the
preacher!
The publisher of a small newspaper
had retired from business. Some
other struggling editor wondered
how he had managed to amass sufficient money to be able to retire, and
wrote him. for his secret of success.
Here was his reply:
"Dear Friend; You ask how I
was able to retire, after a struggling newspaper life, and I am glad
to -tell you the whole matter, though
I doubt your obtaining very -much
benefit therefrom.; For 40 years I
slaved and economized, pinching pennies and using every scheme ever devised to keep a newspaper on a paying basis. .Then, a few months ago,
my uncle Abie died in California and
left me his estate, amounting ,to $99,-
999.95, and this, combined with' my
life savings, made me $100,000, which
I deemed sufficient to retire on."
