In thfe'Spring, we find, many things around! the home or JJarm
which need a coat ot paint or varnish, to preserve the (material and
improve thje looks. Biit paints and varnishes have gone so high in
cost that nlany put off the painting. We can help ,you out this spring
and save yiou the biggest part or. your w.aint and varnish 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 (jn out shelves with fresh goods. These are good; standlard
brands, the assortments fairly cpmplete in the varnishes, not quite *s
complete in the paints, but if you have a piece of furniture to refin-
ish, porch furniture to fix up, a floor to varnish, a piece of (machini-
ery or a small building to repaint, these goods will do the work at
less than half present costs.
Gome inland look over out paint and varnish bargain counter,
yoinvilYliie' surprised at the values we offer.

FIRST REQUEST
OF THE WOMEN
GOVERNMENT  ASKS   ALL   TO~ETo
THEIB   BIT,   EVEN   IF
SSIALL
Others There May Be Who Can And
"Will" Bo Much More
We have come to our last talk on
Woman's Registration. "Women are
asked to register "for the work that
they are doing at h.ome; even if they
can do nothing extra. Most of us will
register as home-keeper. You, expect
your government to he ready to protect you, and you should not_ toe
ashamed to tell the government how
you are spending your time. Especially the women on farms, and thos.e
earing for children are now doing
just as good government work as can
he done. If you, are ill and in need
of care or .help, register for that
under "Remarks" on hack of card.
We wish to obtain a list of women
who will not register. If you are ill,
we will, send a registrar to you.
This is the same work and the
same talks that are heing told all
over Michigan and your- friends in
Other towns are all helping. Twenty
three states .have already taken the
registration and others now preparing to do s.o.
It is the first government request
to women, and we hope it may not go
on state record that Saline women are
undersized. We want you to register
regardless of your work or health:
Many women are always ready to do
their part in any public duty, and
others wish to sleep past without being "bothered." The last class want
you. to do your public work, and
theirs; eat your corn "thread and
theirs; knit your hoy's, socks, and
theirs.; buy your Liberty bonds, and
theirs; and send your boy to fight for
you and them. To these we woujd
say, "Remember this is your country.,
your government, and your war and
some day you can only record your
own work. To the first class we
would say, that the world is better
because you, passed this way.
To show the character of the registrations that have been made during
the week a few representative, women
of" this village and vicinity have
consented to allow theirs to be pubj-
lished.
One woman registered as follows:
Persons dependent upon you, "child
age seven years for care," service
offered, "volunteer," time pledged for
service, "one afternoon or one evening a week," if training is wanted,
specify line, "practical nu,rsing;"
tuition paid or free, "either;" present
occupation, "house-wife;" education,
"two years high," specialized training, "music, private teachers;" will
you go anywhere? "no;" home town
only, "yes.;" how soon can you- start?
"Short notice, if emergency."
In the list of occupations this
woman has had training or experience in poultry raising, carl of children, cooking, housekeeping, knitting
and sewing. She reads and speaks
German well, has had training and.
experience in general charities and
relief visiting. Under recreational
social service, stated she had had
training in music. Relief visiting is
her preference.
Under "remarks," the most valuable
information appears on the registration cards.- The registrar in this
case wrote, "Has had a great deal of
experience in aljl phases of church
work. Adaptable and practical woman.
Another woman registers as housewife and*farm woman- She has had
training or experience in all of the
agricultural lines, care of children,
cooking, housekeeping. She can
drive a motor can. She does not dk>
any Red Cross work of any kind and
does not offer service of "any kind;
The registrar says of her in remarks:
/'Have no help on !?arm: and she has
to take man's part," which shows that
she is already doing all she can.
One woman registered as a practical nurse and she offered paid serr
vice in. hej line to go anywhere on
call. She is also experienced in the
care of children and cooking for invalids.
Another volunteered three half-
.days or more per week. She is a
•housewife; and able to serve anytime
in Her homfe town only. She has had
experience qr training in gardening;
cooking, 'knitting and; butter .making.
Tomorrow and; Saturday will he the
last days to register.

Prayer meeting topic: Home and
Foreign Missions, i. e., Mexicans in
United States and Latin America.
Much of our trouhles„political and
rsocial, has come through our religious indifference to. the foreigners.
The ladies of the church are meeting this week with Mrs. B- D„ Hammond; in .her new home on Monroe
street. It is a very gracious act
and no doubt w.ill prove a genial
housewarming, whatever that proverbial saying may mean.
The PresbyteriEfti church is noted
for its inspiring leadership. This is
remarkably true in the case of the
newly selected home missionary superintendent in the state of Michigan,
the Rev. John Comin o,f Three Rivers.
His iclji'ildhood. in the manse marked
him for the ministry, his Scotch ancestry gave him a quiet, unassuming
manner,- a clearness of purpose, his
broad scholarship and contact with
people in all practical relationships
qualified him for leadership and
opened to him the door of opportunity,
and we have no doubt he will make
good in co-operating wiith the religious and moral forces in the state of
Michigan.
My good brother, Rev. Stevenson,
preached a very timely sermon Sabbath evening on the man who is 'p]n
the fence. It is. very encouraging to
know that'these Liberty Loan drives
are so shaking the fences that many
are finding it an unsafe place to sit
and are scrambling down on the right
side and lining up as all loyal Americans should. May the good work go
on until every fence shall be clear
and .all those who. have not the
courage of their convictions and are
blind and indifferent to the duties
and obligations they owe to this country in her direful need.
Considerable excitement and a lively tussle was liad at the home of'
-Henry Boettger, on Maple avenue,
late Saturday night when the" son,
Bernard, returned from his barber
shop duties to retire^for the night.
Bernard entered the house as usual
and at once went quietly to his r(?bm
on the second floor. Entering in the
darkness he saw a man pass between
himself and a window, and; supposing
it to b,e his brother, Karl, who- at
times gets up and walks while
asleep, called to him. No reply coming, Bernard a little uncertain, called again more forcefully when the
party ducked for a partially open
window. Bernard, still believing it
Karl and that he would fall to the
walk below and be injured, sprang
/for and grappled him by the legs, but
as his victim was partially outside,
Bernard was powerless to do much
'having only the feet to cling to and
they were hammering fiercely for
freedom, leaving Bernard with a badly cut arm, scratched face and
bruised hand from contact with broken glass. The party dropped to the
ground and was lost in th.6 darkness-
Two of the family heard the fellow
come in and go up stairs, but supposing it Bernard they were not concerned. Although quite dark there
was sufficient light to reveal the
makes-up and other points about his
e.aller, and Bernard is well satisfied
as to the identity. The time of the
prowler iu the house was so short
'Khat he had no time to gather up
jewelry and other articles qf value.
It is evident that the party well
'knew that Bernard had on his. person
his day's earnings, and was hopeful
of obtaining it, hut failed.
Willing Workers* Meeting
The "Willing "Workers met with
Mrs. Hattie Mehler for their April
meeting.
The meeting opened with a song by
the club, followed hy the reading of
scripture by the president, the Lord's
Prayer by the club, reading by Mrs,

fcommittee: §33.50 was paid to the
Saline chapter of. the Red Cross.
The remainder of the afternoon was
spe"ht in sewing for the Red Cross-
Aifter a fine lunch by the hostess
the\ meeting; was adjourned, to meet
in l^ay with Mrs. Henry McMann.
