A GOOD BANK
IS A REAL HEP TO ANY
MAN OR WOMAN
You can do without an automobile or a radio.
You don't have to have a bathtub or electric
light in your home. But such modern conveniences make life worth living.
, This is true of a bank, too. You can get along
without a bank. But you can get along much
better with it. A bank is a modern convenience
which can be a real help to any manor woman.

What About Fertilizer
We have been very careful in selecting our brands of
Fertilizers and feel we have what it takes to produce
bumper crops, when other conditions are considered.
Use Welch "Independent Plant Foods"
with ground tobacco stems
Or Swift's "Red Steer"
non-acid f arming Fertilizers
And I think you will agree there are none better.
Delouse your poultry nature's way—in the dust
box.   More simple—most effective.

With our county fair in full swing
at Ann Arbor this week, it may be
of interest to our readers to know
that a number of the Smith-Hughes
agriculture students from our high
school have exhibits on display there.
And a stock-judging team composed
of Eldean Hanson, Roland Goltz,
Walter Wild, Clifton Bird, Jack
Langstaff, George Richards, William
Harwood and Robert Lambarth, has
entered and will compete in that
event.
There are now twenty-one" fine
projects under way in our community, and this for a SmithJIughes department still in its second year is
an unusual showing. Many schools
show no more and no better project
developement after five or even ten
years of activity.
There is a rather wide variety in
the endeavors the boys are making,
which is a very good sign: And in
almost every instance there is the
lively prospect of 'good financial returns. But whether remunerative or
not the'projects are sure to prove
instructive and that is a matter of
first importance, as also is the fact
that the boys' interest in agriculture
is being quickened and strengthened,
and that in a neighborhood of -this
sort is very vital. For after all is
said no -other industry furnishes a
more stable and lasting foundation
upon which to build a thriving community. Agriculture contains most
.of the elements of growth and few
of the hidden germs of decay.
It is manifestly impossible to discuss in detail each of the twenty-
one projects. Let it suffice if we
select at random the splendid barred
rock pullets belonging to Roland
Goltz. They are from the cream of
the Saline Valley Farms hatch, and
their eggs by present contract, will
be sold back in the spring to the
Valley incubators for hatching purposes.
Local Home Ec's
Finish   Projects
Girls Work Under the Smith-Hughes
System and Accomplish Much for
Themselves and their Mothers.
With the starting of school almost
here, the ninth grade home economics girls are completing their projects.
Many questions have been asked
as to just -what the summer's work
concerns. The girls are fortunate to
have the opportunity to work under
the Smith-Hughes system, which
provides for one month's supervision
by the home economics teacher during the summer vacation. Part of
this is done two weeks after school
lets" out and two weeks preceding
the school year. The teacher helps
the girls to plan and carry out her
project. Credit is received for satisfactory results.
Although the school furnishes
equipment as nearly like that in the
home as possible, it has limitations.
Arrangements may be made at
school for each girl to plan and serve
a breakfast to four other girls, but
such home conditions as father's unwillingness to eat certain foods or
brother's failure to come to the
meal at the usual time, cannot be
provided for each individual girl. It
is evident that the school cannot
provide the human element of family
life; and what school can provide
telephone calls, salesman, a child's
cut finger, or the other numerous
interruptions which complicate the
management of a busy homemaker's
day?
With the foundation of home economics, training in the school and
the mother's training in the home,
the girl is ready to plan her project,
execute it, and finally evaluate it.
These girls, for the most part, do
their own work. Through experiences— successes and failures—they
learn to become good homemakers.
At the same time, these projects
oftentimes relieve the mother of
some of her numerous responsibilities.
During the summer, the girls have
time to work on their chosen projects, and the teacher can concentrate
on their individual wants and needs
Examples of such propects might
Glen  Weber has   a  big patch of.
sorghum cane towering lush and tall i De:
above   one's  head  and   holding  thei     Laundering   and   caring   for   my

Armen Hauessler has a patch of
potatoes from certified seed, so good
that the state inspector pronounces
it one of the best in the state.
Walter Wild, Eldean Hanson,
Charles Hartman and many, others
have splendid projects well in hand.
We would like to mention them all
but space forbids. It is sufficient to
say that from such beginnings as
these when projected forward into
life, that many of the real lifetime
successes are developed. And we
most heartily wish the boys—every
one of them—splendid success in
their several endeavors.

Dof't lose Time With a Worn-Out Binder
SPEED is° essential at silo-filBng time—it pays to
have a corn binder you can depend on for sure,
steady performance. Don't try to get along with an
old, worn-out binder—an investment in a new Mc-
Oormick-Deering is more than worth while.
The McCormick-Deering is available in vertical
and horizontal types, and there is a special vertical
binder for use where corn is short. Both have a
reputation for good work under all sort® of conditions. They get all the; corn and bind it tightly in
evenly butted bundles.

There wasn't much in the way of
a set program at the meeting of the
Rotary Club at The Tavern last
Thursday noon, but for all that all
members were glad to be on hand.
We forget the reason, but Cook
and Clay had to sing a duet, and
those who happened to be given a
card with one of the letters of "Rotary" oh it, had to sing a number,
G. C. Townsend conducting.
C. A. Jewell reported on the progress of the garden and flowei; projects. Considering the late start and
subsequent unfavorable weather, all
are getting along nicely. ' Only four
of the starters have "fallen by the
wayside."
The subject of-a fall fair and gala
day was discussed at length and the
committee is working toward something worth-while, a report of which
will be given later.
President Wilson attended a part
of the sessions of the district convention at Dearborn Thursday and
Friday and will give his report today.

A slight change for the opening
of school -has been authorized in
Saline. Instead of the date as given
out last week the plan now is to
have the students report on Wednesday morning, while the teachers'
meeting will be held at 1 p. m. on
Tuesday. This has been done to conform with the suggestion made by
Supt. Elliott of Lansing so that the
heavy traffic over the Labor Day
holiday will interfere as little as
possible.
The teaching force for the new
year will see but two new people,
Miss Virginia Horton of Lansing
taking: the place of Mrs. Miriam
Moore, resigned, and Miss Irene
Huehl of Chelsea, who will teach the
first grade. This is a decided difference and advantage over last year,
when a total of eight new instructors
joined the faculty. The group for
the year is as follows:
Miss Jean Fuller will have the
grade music and the kindergarten;
Miss Irene Huehl, the first grade;
Miss Dorothy Haselswerdt. the second grade; Miss Mary Morden, third
and fourth grades; Miss Katherine
Briggs and Mrs. Dorothy Hutzel will
have the fifth and sixth on the departmental plan. Miss Virginia Horton will have the seventh grade English, history and geography plus the
public speaking; Miss LaDorna Feller, English and Latin with H. S.
vocal music; Mrs. Elizabeth Kuebler,
the high school principalship with
literature and English; Mrs. Elizabeth Washburn, the home economics;
Hazen Jewell, the commercial; Donald Francisco, the science and shop;
Donald Rock, the history and coaching; Charles Jewell, the agriculture;
and Thurman M. Clay, the superin-
tendency.

SQUIRREL LAWS NOT
ALTERED THIS YEAR
DEER TAGS MUST BE
"LEGIBLE" THIS FALL
LANSING—The law has caught up
with the deer hunters who-smeared
their license tags with mud or wore
them upside down last fall.
A provision in the game bill
last year stated only that license
tags be worn so as to be plainly
"visible" has been corrected by the
legislature. Deer hunters will be
required by law this fall to wear
their tags so as to be plainly "legible"   as well as visible.
ALFRED KUEBHER
Alfred Kuebler, 37, of Freedom
township, died Monday night. -He
was born in Freedom township February 20, 1900, and was the son of
William and Katherine Blumenauer
Kuebler.
He was a member of Bethel's
church. He is survived by his wife,
Ida Casterline Kuebler; his mother;
three brothers, Paul, Saline township,
Calvin and Raymond of Freedom
township; and several nephews and
nieces.
The yolk of an egg contains e>
high fat content in the form of
oil, and also lecithin, an important
substance useful in aiding growth
and for nourishing nerves.
LANSING—The state conservation
commission took no action at its
August meeting with regard to altering existing fox squirrel regulations.
As a. result there will be squirrel
hunting season in Michigan this fall
as in the past yaar, but none in
1938
The legislature early this summer
amended the hunting laws so as to
eliminate hunting of fox squirrels,
the only game squirrel on which
there   has   been   an   open   season.
The law which will " accomplish
this, however, does not go into effect
until October 29. Until that date
present laws and regulations with
regard to the fox .squirrel remain
in  force   and effect
The present regulations permit an
open season on fox squirrels from
October 1 to October 10 in the upper
peninsula and from October 15 to October 24 in the lower peninsula, all
dates  inclusive.
The squirrel hunter comes in "just
under the wire" for his favorite
sport this fall, but he will get no
legal squirrel shooting during the
autumn of 1938 unless the legislature so provides before that time.

NEW WELL STRUCK
WE!_p.  OF DUNDEE
Saline General Hospital
An oil well which promises to be
the best producer of aQ in this vicinity was brought in last week on
the Frank Roe farm, five miles west
of Dundee. The well is part of the
field being developed locally by Albert Violette of the A. V. Oil and
Gas Company of Dundee.
The drillers hit the Trenton rock
at a depth of 2,067 feet and the oil
came in at 2,090 feet. They have
now drilled through 30 feet of pay
sand and a gas pocket forced" the oil
to the top of the hole. A pump ..was
installed and efforts are being made
to keep the oil below the level of
the casing which is down 1,400 feet
As soon as possible the well will be
shot but Mr. Violette is unable to
give a precise date owing to there
being so much oil in the casing.
Indications are for a much heavier
flow than well No. 1, which averaged
50 barrels per day.
Mr. Violette is also financing the
drilling operations on the'old Bullock
farm, a short distance off the North
Custer road, about three miles east
of  Dundee.—Dundee Reporter.
