have gotten your money's worth.

you rather have the money today that you
spent yesterday for luxuries?

Three prime qualities you look 'for in a motor car are beauty, comfort ,and power. These three qualities are well combined in the
Nash Six.
You will like its beauty of line from, radiator to tail light.
"Ijts double-cowled, .aiirline body, a deep Nash blue, penciled with
gold, is swung law upon a clean, strong chassis of 1215111011 wheelbase.
The Nash airline body is so designed and constructed as to offer
the least possible resistance to the atmosphere when the car is in motion. Its well-upholstered seats ai e deep and wide and so shaped that
they form a restful support for their occupants.
Both hack and front compartmdnts .are roomy and the car carries
five passengers with space to spar.e.
Long isemi-elliptie springs for a car of this size, 40 inches in front
an,d 56 inches in rear, let the car take its passengers over the r.oad
most comfortalSly.   And it geits its unusual power and' quick "pick-up"
from its deep-breathing Nash Perfected Valve-in-Head Motor.
THE NASH PERFECTED YALYE-IN-HEAD MOTOR
The deep-breathing Nash Perfected Valve-in-Head Motor has abun-
damt power for every motoring use aind has its greatest power at average driving speeds..
Its power is due to its unusual breathing capacity. It is the deep-
breathing motor.
By greater breathing capacity is meant the ability of the motor to
get more gases into its cylinders, filling them—its lungs—more completely before each explosion. The better a motor breathes, the more
powerful its explosions;, and df course, the more power it puts in;to the
drive of the car.
Because the straight, smooth passages-of the valve4in-head motor
offer, less resistance to the gases coming info the cylinders than do the
curved rough ones of other types of motor, the valve(-in-head has the
greatest breathing capacity.
But in addition to this natural advantage, Nash engineers have
further improved and perfected the valve-in-liead type until the Nash
Perfected Valve-in-Head Motor has greater breathing capacity than
any df its size used in passenger motor vehicles-
This extraordinary breathing, capacity is secured by providing
extiia large valves, high valve lifts and! straightening and enlarging
the passages from carburetor to cylinder^.     \
Its pistons are light ahd^ perfectly balanced and its crank and cam
shaifts are sufficiently heavy to eliminate all vibration.
As it sets in the car, it is clean-cut and tinm-Iooking, having much
the same appearance as a smooth "block, of jSteel.
SAMUEL J. GALL
Miss Bales has a high, brilliant
soprano voice, very flexible, and of
dramatic quality.
Miss Shearer's voice is a deep, rich
contralto, of unusual sweetness, and
especially adapted to folk songs,
which is one of the most popular
parts of the program of this company.
Miss Bales and Miss Shearer have
done concern work in the same company, even previous to becoming-
members of the Concert Favorites-
This, with the fact that their voices
are exceptionally suited to each other,
has brought their duet work to a high
degree of excellence. Their costume
singing is .a feature that is very attractive, and includes classical, songs,
Gypsy, Dutch, and others.
The entire program presented by
the Concert Favorites is ideal in that
it is given hy artists of talent and
culture, who know how to blend seriousness and fun, and! to set a standard for entertainments that has made
these three young ladies favorites of
hundreds of audiences.
Miss Johnson is one of the few who
both sing and read well. In each line
of work she has .met with unusual
success, both while one of the members of "The Lyceum Players" and in
"The. Concert Favorites" company.
In her singing' she not only has a
•rich, well-cultivated voice and a distinct enunciation, but her selections
are such as people love, both for the
melody and for the sentiment, and
She sings, as some one said, "not to
show off her voicq, but. to make you
feel, the beauty of the song." In her
readings, she is versatile, but excels
in impersonations of boys. In all hei
work, she is original, unaffected, of
charming personality, and of a fine
sense of humor.
One of the best things to be said oi
the whole company, is that they .have
"the lyceum spirit." They bring to
the platform, whether in the largest
city or the smallest village, a high
standard of what a lyceum program
should be, and a sincere wish to
please and to contribute something
worth while to every'audience which
they entertain.
The program, consists of solos,
duets,' trios, pianologues, readings
and impersonations, folk songs and
character songs.
The Irish harp 'is an attractive
feature of their program. It is not a
solo instrument, hut is used as accompaniment in some of the groups
of songs.

BEEKEEPEES ATTENTION
As it is desired to have a full list
of the beekeepers of the county, it
will be a great help if each one wild
send his name, address, number, of
colonies, kind of hive used, to the
secretary.
Important literature for beekeepers is available and other helpiful
matters.
If you have bees to sell or if you
wish to buy bees, mention the fact
and we may help you get together.
Co-operation will help us all to
produce a bumper crop in 191S.

Rev. TV. H. Hoffman, Pastor.
Subject Sabbath morning: "Spiritual Buoyancy-"
The evening service is in the Methodist church.
The special program for Christian
Endeavor day brought out many
salient points in the history of this
world-wide organization.
The Sabbath school lessons are becoming more and more interesting.
"We are coming to realize what an intensely active life Christ led.. There
was hot an idle moment in all his
ministry.
. Those who wish to make a.n offering for the work our church is doing
at Camp Custer, co-operating with
the Army Y'. M. C, A., may do so this
Sabbath. ;
'In an address befo're the high
schoql of Detroit, tha statement was
made that two million college men
had met death in»this world war.
'This goes to "show how the world's"
leadership is being reduced. ,
"We all want to help conserve food
to observe wheatless and meatless
meals and prove ourselves loyal in
every way, hut why say this so
sti;ongly to housewives and families,
while politicians and food adhiinis-
'trators overlook apparently the fact
that in New York dity alone there is
said to he forty consecutive miles of
dramshops, the output of the breweries that turn barley into beer,. The
thing to do is to make prohibition a
war measure and stand four square
on a great moral issue.
While in the city I chanced to wit-
njips a home suddenly enveloped in
flames.. It was a sad, pathetic sight
to see two old people cast upon the
street, with a few meagre belongings
scattered about and the saving of
years, vanishing in the flames.
Neighbors gathered about and expressed sympathy and for a. time the
cold conventional reserve of the city
gave way and the true heart of humanity was revealed. Grieving out
their sorrow to friends these old people anxiously inquired about their
insurance papers, "Are they saved?"
The inquiry came to me with a personal application and I pass it on.
Life is very uncertain, business speculations may fail, property is insecure, how about the insurance papers? Have they been made out and
placed on record?
Have you the testimony through
Christ? Come what will, it is well
with my soul. There is no time for
this when the crash comes. Now is
the day of salvation-

Work of the Bed Cross Greatly Hampered hy Lack of Money.
In a communication received from
the local branch Of the Red Cross it
will be noticed the society is on the
verge of a shut-down, owing to a lack
of -funds. It will be a pity if the
society cannot go forward with the
splendid work in surgical dressings
wliich has been done for. the past
several months- During this period
thousands of bandages and dressings,
so vital to the needs of our home boys
once they go across, and they soon
will be in increasing numbers, have
been made and shipped; by a loyal
band of women who have sacrificed
not only time but much of their private funds in furthering the efforts
to keep Saline dn line with other communities of our size and importance.
There are hundreds of people in
town and vicinity who could ver,y
easily contribute a dollar a, month to
this cause and never feel it, but because they have not been solicited to
do so the treasury funds are about
exhausted and unless replenished
soon the work must naturally be suspended. Read the paragraph below
and then ask yourself if it should be
necessary for some one to coax such a
small sum from you, or lif it isn't
really up to you to come forward and
pledge voluntarily,
"Our funds are ahout exhausted and
it is necessary that at least $100 per
.month he subscribed on monthly
pledge cards at once. If this cannot
be done within the next week, the
rooms will have to he closed and materials disposed of to meet outstanding bills. Feeling sure that our loyal
citizens are anxious for tha continua-
tlion of this work, we hope that the
monthly pledge cards will he signed
and turned in at either bank as soon
as possible. Cards may be obtained
at the banks."

THE  BEEKEEPERS   ORGANIZE
The beekeepers of "Washtenaw
county met at the Masonic Temple in
Ypsilanti January 16, for4m informal
meeting and after canvassing the
matter thoroughly, it was voted to
organize for larger efficiency in honey
production. A constitution was adopted and the following officers chosen:
Floyd Markham, Ypsilanti, president;
'E. B. Manwaring, Ann Arbor, vice
president; Edwin Ewell, Ypsilanti,
secretary and treasurer.
Any person interested in the object of this association may become
a member upon signing the membership book. The expenses of this association will be mat by the voluntary offerings of the members. S. "Wr
Erbaugh of the M. A. C. gave a very
interesting address on "How to winter
bees out of doors," Four important
points were emphasized. I- A good
supply of young bees. II. Plenty of
winter stores, thirty to forty pounds.
III. Eight to twelve inches of packing on all six sides of the hive. IV.
A good wind break about the bee
yard-
B. F. Kindig, state Inspector of ap-
iarine, spoke on "The importance of
producing a large honey crop in
1918-"" The shortage of- sugar has
increased the demand for honey far
beyond the supply. In view of the
need of sweets, every beekeeper
should do his best by giving his bees
better; care and by enlarging his
apiary.
Mr. "Walpole of the high school gave
a suggestive talk on "How I became
a beikeeper" and Edwin Ewell spoke
on "Some experiences- with foul
brood,"
The association adjourned to meet
again in Ann Arbor early in March,
when it is hoped a much larger number of the beekeepers of the county
will be present.
