"The Farm-Proved Plan"
is the title of a new booklet giving precise feeding
directions for all Larro feeds. Let us put your name
on our mailing list.   No obligations.
When you start experimenting with lower priced
feeds it's pretty hard to know just where you're going
to get off. You can be sure of one thing, however.
If a feed costs less it is worth less—for the final
measuring stick of all feed is feeding value. The
best way is to play safe. The most profit over feed
cost—"That's Larro Feeds."
Yes, we 'have Binder Twine, Timothy Seed, Fertilizer, Meat Scraps, Tankage, Oyster Shell, Bone
Meal, Cottonseed Meal, Linseed Oil Meal, etc.

The Saline correspondent to The

they left for parts unknown." He
probably meant unknown to him, for

he was going.

With the beginning of the school
year, there is always one occasion
that is looked forward to by all, perhaps, but the Freshmen. This occasion is the Freshmen initiation. It
is sponsored "by the. three upper classes, but the Seniors do the initiating.
The program carried out was something of this order: at first all the
Freshies got their faces dabbed with
some nice coloring. Then they were
blindfolded and "led up the stage, on
an ever so high hill, which was only
an elevated plank. Did any of you
ever shake hands with a skeleton?
Well, if you haven't, ask any one of
the Freshmen and I think they can
very well tell you. Some of the girls
were asked to walk barefooted on
some crunchy corn flakes. The boys
were told to crawl through a big barrel and the girls had the pleasure of
spanking them with a nice big stick.
Some got bananas to eat, but the reports -were that the "doped" bananas
weren't so good. The Freshmen did
quite a lot of fast rushing around at
one time as the object was to see
who could find and put their shoes on
the quickest.
Following this part of the program
dancing was enjoyed by all. Refreshments consisted of cider, served
by the boys who have class offices.
Some people may have wondered
about the admission price. It was decided to have a ten cent charge to
all High school students, faculty, parents and members of the school
board;' and twenty-five cents for all
others. The money received from
this admission charge will go toward
paying expenses.

BY HIS TEACHER OF 1869-71
"Let us hear the ^conclusion of the

"God never imposes a- duty without

SUPERVISORS WILL MEET
Monday forenoon, September 21,
Dr. A. S. Hall was very peasantly
snurprised to receive a call from
Mrs. S. B. Mereness and her daughter, Miss Eugenia, both of Ypsilanti.
They had aslo called on their cousin,
Miss Nettie Simmons.
Mrs. Mereness was formerly Miss
Julia A. Talcott, who taught one of
the grades §h the former school
building during the years 1869-70 and
1870-71. During that time she gave
Mr. Hall private lessons in German

Injuries Cost Possible Victory
By Robert Dieterle
Injuries in the early part qf the
game with Tecumseh cost Saline a
possible victory. The line-up for Saline:
Right End—Kenneth Volz.
Right Tackle—Harold Armbruster.
Right Guard—W. Wild.
Center—M. Hartman.
LSf t Guard—P. Mann.
Left Tackle—H. Sage.
Left End—Mills.
Quarterback—Lloyd Armbruster.
Right Half—T. Klager.
Left Half—L. Dicks.
Fullback—L. Bowen.
At the toss of the coin, Saline won,
.and chose to defend the west goal
and Tecumseh elected to kick off. By
the way, this game was played at
Tecumseh. The kick was down the
field and taken by Lloyd Armbruster,
who advanced it about fifteen yards.
Saline came to the line of scrimmage
and crashed through for a first down.
On the next play Saline made another
first down and on the third play made
her third consecutive first down. Boy,
oh boy! This Saline team was certainly going to^ town. On the next
play Tecumseh charged in fast and
when they unpiled there was a Saline
player on the ground. Lloyd Armbruster had a broken collar bone.
This was a severe blow to Saline, for
the boys were working together fine.
A number of changes were -made by
Coach Rock and the game proceeded,
but something -was lacking in. the
team, because they couldn't gain any
ground, and Saline was forced to
kick. Tecumseh brought the ball up
the field and before the half was over
