In the Spring, we find many things aroundl the home or fiarm
which need a coat ot paint or varnish, to preserve the material and
improve the looks. But paints and varnishes have gone so high in,
cost that many put oft the painting. We can help .yau out this spring
and save you the biggest part oi your waint and! varnish bill.
, "W"e have a..quantity,of.Paints, Varnish-Stains, Enamels,-"Etc;?-Hi-
cans which have become shopworn, and which we do not wish to
continue on out shelves with fresh goads. 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 refin-
ish, "porch furniture to fix up, a floor to varnish, a piece of machita!-
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 b|e surprised at the values we-offer.

Be a True Red Cross Soldier
The time is near at hand when all
of us must show that we are good
Red Cross soldiers—especially those
who a're actively engaged in the production of supplies. As. you all know,
there have been complications in supplying raw (materials which the workr
ers turn into various completed articles. These complications have been
Unavoidable and there will likely be
more unavoidable ones in the future.
It behooves every chapter and every
worker to do his and her best to minimize the disadvantages qf these c:"-m>
plications to the last degree. How?
By following orders with true, faithful military precision. Do the work
that is called for and in the way that
if is called Sor and do nothing eteoj.
You will then be a genuine worker
helping the'army and the navy and
your country.—-Red Cross Bulletin.
Here is what Sir Walter Ro. er
Lawrence, who was a commissioner
under Lord Kitchener in the building
*up of "England's army, says of Our
Boys:
"I .have been among your American
troq/ps. * * * They are modest
thoiough, soldiers—fine, manly men.
America may well bT3 proud of these
men; but America must, and, I know,
wiU back them up as such men
should b,e backed up!"
"We shipped for April: 25 hospital
shjirts, 13 pairs of pajamas, 150 triangular slings*; "80 abdominal "bandages, 45 T bandages, 3,953 gauze
dressings.
The Junior Red Cross made 30
scultetus bandages Monday evening.
They also made 8x4 cornpresses-
The officers and members of the
Red Cross wish tq thank the orchestra for the entertainment given for
the benefit of this organization and
also .the grange of Stony Creek for
the use of the hall.
The concert given by the Presbyterian chair for the Red Cross last
'Sunday evening was a decided success. The collection amounted to $25,
We are very grateful to Mrs. Henne
and the choir for their interest.
Don't Send Unnecessary Gifts
3S!b hardship has been imposed upon
our soldiers in France and England
by the new order of the postoffice that
packages cannot be sent to them from
the United States unless they contain
articles specially requested by the
men and approved by their commanding officers.
The American Red Cross and the
Y. M. C. A. maintain canteens where
tlie soldiers can buy everything they
need or want. And in spite of the distance, the prices at these canteens in
most instances actually are lower
than in the United States for the
same articles.
The government had to stop the
immense shipment ofi parcel post mail
to the soldiers because all space on
ships is needed for troops and munitions. The Red Cross and the Y. M^
C, A., however, have the privilege of
buying their canteen stocks here in
large quantities and shipping in compact cases, -so that the American
(troops will not suffer from the new
order.
It should; be kept clearly in mind
that the Red Cro^s does not sell anything which is contributed by the
labor of American women, like
sweaters and other knitted articles,
comfort bags, wearing .apparel,, etc.
The only things sold at canteens are
candies, tobacco, cakes and similar
articles which are sold at cost.
CABD OF THANKS.
We wish to thank the friends and
neighbors who so kindly assisted us
at the death and burial of our beloved daughter and sister, also the
Rev. Lederer for his comforting
words and for the many beautiful
flowers and letters of sympathy.'
Mrs. Fred Woelper and family.

OBITUARY
Louise Christine Maria Woelper,
daughter of the late Godfrey Woelper
and his spouse, Anna Woelper (nee
Klein), was born- October 13,. 1895.
When she was not quite one year of
age her father passed away. After
several years of diligent work at the
Saline high scho.ol she was graduated and accepted a position as
school teacher at a district school.
It had been her intention to take up
a post graduate course at the State
Normal school, but the Dispenser of
Life and Death had not deoreed it
thus. She had been in delicate
health for about a year. Though it
seemed at times that she would regain her health, her state' changed
for the worse.
Having been organist at the Trinity Lutheran church for some time,
she had received ample opportunity
to-vhear the Word of God. Her last
attendance at the house of worship
was last Christmas when she partook
of the Lord's Supper, and at one service in Lent.
On Monday, April 29, 1918, at
6 a. m., she quietly passed away at
tho age of 22 years, 6 months and 16
days. Besides her mother, she has
left one brother, one sister and a
large circle of relatives and friends
who mourn her death.
Farewell I must now leave you;
The grief.this day doth give you,.
Soon others, too, shall bear.
Be ye to God commended;
In heaven all woe is ended _
And we shall meet in glory there.
WASHTENAW CHARACTER FACTORY
THAT'S WHAT THE COUNTY Y. M.
C. A. IS CALLED
Plans Being Made for  County-Wide
Work Among the Boys
"Washtenaw Character Factory,"
as the County Y. M. C. "A. is called,
has begun operation. Lewis C. Rei-
mann, one of Yost's IT. ofi M. football
stars of 1914 and 1915, has arrived
in Ypsilanti where the Washtenaw
county committee of the Y. M. C. A.
will have its headquarters, and is
planning for a permanent cpunty-
■nflde work among hoys from twelve
years up.
Feeling that the boys left at home
should be looked after and given the
benefits that come from that great
Red Triangle organization, the men
of the county have provided for the
Y. M. C. A. work. Secretary Rei-
mann duplicates in a way the work
ihat is being done in "hu,ts" of the
training camp both here and "over
there" and will establish, a work for
our boys who "keep up the back
lines," while the boys in the front
lines are taken care of.
A building and equipment, gym
and swimming pool are not necessary
ior the county work that is being
carried out' in 25 counties in Michigan. What is. necessary is a "group"
or "gang" of boys and a christian
man who realizes that "the boy of
today is the man of tomorrow."
"Group" is the Y. M. C. A. term for
•"gang" and a "gang" becomes a
"group" when, it has a leader who
leads them in constructive worE in
the community.
The four-fold program of the
.Y. M. C A. is carried out in these
"groups" which, can be organized in
town or in the open country- The
boys are given a chance .to develop
physically, -mentally,,.Socially- andV
spiritually. Group games that can be
iplayed in a hall, church basement,
school or home are taught the boys
by the leader. Practical and instructive talks given by business and professional men. First aid, sex instruction, parliamentary practice, debates, etc., are taken up for the
mental development. Social service
and social events are conducted
under competent guidance, while
Bible study specially prepared for
boys forms the spiritual part of the
program- It is the aim of the county
c,omm!ittee to 'chart each boy and by
systematic instruction in the things
he is weak in to help him become
what is believed to be the American
standard boy.
The work that will demand th.e immediate attention of the secretary
and the county committee is "Father
and Son War Suppers" in the different communities, and spring athletics
for the schools. The summer county
camp <ar you,nger boys will be held
in the middle of the summer.
BIG TIME SATURDAY NIGHT
Jazz Music and Short Addresses to
Aid Thrift Stamp Sales.
There's going to be a big time in
town Saturday evening, for a few
minutes at least, when a bunch of
patriots from Ann Arbor will try to
stimulate a little interest in the sale
of Thrift Stamps.
The party will comprise a few
students who will entertain the
audience with some-lively Jazz music,
"and a speaker or two who wiUl der
liver short addresses on the importance of Thrift Stamps in the government's financial operations, while the
students are putting up nice new
posters in the business places.
Be on hand promptly at 8 o'clock,
prepared to enjoy the festivities and
purchase a few stamps.
