In the Spring, we find many things around! tlie home or farm
which, need a coat at paint or varnish, to preserve the material and
improve the looks. But paints and varnishes have gone so high in
cost that many put off the painting. We can help ,yau out this spring
and save you the biggest part oi your waint and varnish hill.
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 our shelves with fresh goods. These are good, standard
brands, the assortments fairly complete 'in the varnishes, not quite as
complete in the paints, hut if you have a piece of furniture to refin-
ish, porch furniture to fix up, a floor to varnish, a piece of machinery 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 "bje surprised at the values we offer.

Red Cross activities have been the
all important subject of work and
conversation, in Saline and vicinity
during the past week.
Th,e first big gst-togtther m.eiing
in the county was held in Hill auditorium in Ann Arbar on Sunday evening and abaut one hundred Saline-
ites were in attendance. The following from the Times-Niws will be
read with interest by Otys rver subscribers:
"The meeting was presided over by
Prof. E. H. Kunclerland. Fo':owing
the address of the evening, General
Secretary Harold L. WesUrmnn of
the City Y. M. C. A. led the audi, n e
in a "Yea Lamed," expressive of the
people's appreciation of the iiiter s:.-
ing .address given by Abnet- L rn.-d
of Detroit, wh& was the orftto' of the
occasion.
"What Saline Did.
"The prayer at the opening of tlie
meeting was made by Rev. Frank M.
Spooner of Milan. H. \V. D ughus
president of the Wt-s'-.t naw < ounty
chapter of the Red doss, made a
brief statement cf the pi an of the
campaign which; will open tomorrow,
but one of the most interesting features of the meeting was the announcement made by Rcse.ce M.
Bonisteel, general manager of the
war preparedness commit tie, that
Saline had already "gone over the
top" in the Red Cross war fund drive,
even before the campaign had opened. Mr. Bonisteel said that he had
received a message just previous to
the meeting announcing that Saline
had already sub^es'-ibed $"2,400 to the
Red Cross second war fund. The
quota" -•afsstgijefitb' SaTme>far -this drive
was §1,750. Mr. Bonisteel said that
Saline had broken all the rules of the
campaign, hut he said that Saline was
ready to pay a. fine as a punishment,
and offered to double its quota. Mr.
Westerman led in a. "Yea, Saline,"
which showed that the audience
really understood what Saline had
done."
Dr. Wallace has been a busy man
the past few days, tabulating the
subscriptions so that the printer
mjght be able to handle them e.^fi-
peditiously, and it is with a feeling
of pride in Saline and vicinity The
Observer is thus able to continue
the work of recording the names of
subscribers to the Red Cross fund

We are getting quite a lot of good soft coal at th,e present time
ajnfl have got to move this coat off the car to the consumer's bin. If
we have to put this coal in qui' bins,, they will soon be full and we
will stop-buying. Get your coal when you can get it. Don't wait for
the hard coal. There will not b,a one-half enough to go around. The
c.oal situation is very had and will he worse as sooa as all the good
coal goes to boat shipment UP the lakes. A word to, the wise is sufficient.
All coal will be sold for spot cash the day the coal is delivered.
"We are obliged to enforce this rule to get money to pay for more coal.
We will appreciate it very much if all persons owing us for coal
will kindly pay up.
