SERVICE
In the Spring, we find* many things around! the home or farm
which need a coat of paint or varnish, to preserve the material and
improve the looks. Bu!t paints and varnishes have gone so high in
cost that many put off the painting. We can help you out this spring
and save you the biggest .part oi your waint and' yarnish bill.
We have a quantity of Paints, Varnish-Stains, Enamels, Etc., in
cans which have become shopworn, and which we do not wish to
continue on out shelves with fresh goods. These are good standard
brands, the assortments fairly complete in the varnishes, not quite as
complete in the paints, but if you have a piece of furniture to reftn-
ish, porch furniture to fix up, a floor to varnish, a piece ofTmachim'-
ery-.or a small building to repaint, these goods will do the work at
less than half present costs.
Come in and look over our paint and varnish bargain counter,
you will he surprised at the values we offer.

PROCLAMATION
Saturday, April 27, marks the official date tfjor the beginning of the
registration of the women of Michigan for war service.
This date has been officialljy set
aside by a proclamation issued hy
Governor Albert E, Sleeper as the
day on, which Michigan women shall
begin .to register the service which
they are fitted and willing to give to
their country during this time of war.
In his proclamation Governor
Sleeper heartily commends the work
which the women ofi the state
through the "Woman's Defense Committee are doing. The text of the
proclamation follows:
"The women of our state and nation have their part to play in the
winning of the war, and right nobly
iha.ve they responded to all the calls
that have been made upon them.
They held a wonderful conference
recently in Lansing in preparation
for their coming registration for service. Hundred's of women from all,
over the state were in attendance and
the interest and enthusiasm manifested must have been a revelation
to the promoters of the conferenee-
"Taking lesson from the experience
of our allies in the war, the federal
government and the Michigan "War
Preparedness board! have given their
endorsement and assistance to the
registration of women for war service, to be taken by the Woman's
Committee (Michigan Division)
Council, of National Defense.
"Therefore, I, Albert E. Sleeper,
governor of the state of Michigan, do
herehjy designate and se.t aside Saturday, April 27, 191S, as the date on
which registration in Michigan shall
begin; and I call upon all loyal
women in this state of sixteen years
oij age and over, to go to the places
designated in .their several communities, and there to register for the
services they are able to render to
their country, or for special training
to meet the needs of war."

A bunch of girls from, the Normal

Saline Saturday morning, reaching

SETTLE QUESTION
OE YIVA-SECTION
PRIVATE   FUNDS  PROVIDED  FOR
RESEARCH' WORK
Many   Saline   People,   Objecting   to
Viva-section^ Will Now Help    .
the Red Cross
The question of "viva-section vs.
anti-viva-section" in connection with
Red Cross medical research work in
France, which has been the cause of
much discussion during the past
winter, has been settled. Funds for
this research will be supplied by
private parties.
As several Saline people have been
among those who objected to viva-
section, the fact that the question is
settled ds of interest here. Harvey D.
Gibson, general manager of the American Red Cross, in a recent announcement says in part:
"The Red Cross did not appropriate
this money for abstract medical research and expemrmentation. It was
%> be used for the/direct and immet-
diate purpose of finding ways to prevent or cure wounds of American
soldiers. In deference, however, to
the sincere convictions against the
use of animals for research' work
which has b,een expressed by earnest
Red Cross workers, we recognize our
onligation to them;
"Realizing the situation an individual has come forward and has offered to supply the funds necessary
for' the work so that none shall be
taken from the general, funds of the
Red Cross. This fund will also provide for the 'reimbursement of the
Red Cross for any expenditures ifi
connection therewith in the past.
The war council has decided to'accept this offer without in any way
taking a position either for or
against the question in controversy,
but because they do not wish their
acts to be considered to be in conflict
with the sincere convictions' of Red
Cross members."
