;     The significance of the terrible re-
I ality of the war and what it is going
! to mean to thousands    of   American
i
! hearts was. brought home to this vi-
■ cinity when the news was received
! Friday morning that William B. Lutz
j had been killed in action on August
110, in France.
•   .-He is the  first Saline boy to  give
: hislife at the front while fighting for
world freedom.
I    William Bryan Lujtz   was born  in
Saline township July 17, 189.6.
He graduated fiom the Saline High
School'in June, 1913.
Taught school two years, then entered the Michigan Agricultural College at Lansing in the fall of 191G.
Enlisted May 19, 1917, and entered
service July 15, 1917.
Killed in action August 10, 1918.
Peeling strongly the- call to serve
his country, he enlisted as stated, as
a member of Battery A, 1st Michigan
Field Artillery. After a month's
'^training at Lansing he was sent to
Grayling, remaining there for s^nie
time, and then went to Waco, Texas,
to Camp McArthur, later to Camp
Merritt, New Jersey. He sailed for
France with the 119th TJ. S. A. Field
Artillery, reaching England March 6,
1918.
He proved a fearless soldier, and
his work was in the open behind the
machine guns.
Surviving him are his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. John Lutz, and three brothers, Arthur, Harold and Walter.
Memorial services were held in the
Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon at 2:30. The church was appropriately decorated with cut. flowers
and flags.
He v. W. H. Hoffman spoke impressively of the manly, fearless and heroic
qualities which characterized the
life of William Lutz, both in his work
as a student, as a member of the
Christian Endeavor society, and as a
soldier on the battle field, where he
laid down his life for his friends and
his country. His is the first gold star
to be placed on our service flag.

MUCH ROSEN RYE WILL
BE SOWN IN WASHTENAW
COUNTY THIS AUTUMN
That a considerable acreage of
Rosen rye is to be sown in Washtenaw county this fall is indicated by
the fact that County Agricultural
Agent H. S, Osier has already secured
for farmers in the county 250 bushels
of this variety of rye. The farmers
who will sow this seed this fall are
scattered all over the county, and it
is expected that their fields will be
an example to many, other farmers of
the great advantage of using pedigreed rye seed.
Rosen rye was originated and bred
to a successful strain at Michigan
Agricultural college, and the college
is endeavoring to have the seed generally used throughout the state in
place of the common varieties which
have only a low yield capacity.
The field of Rosen rye from which
County Agent Osier secured the 250
bushels for Washtenaw county this
fall, was grown in Jackson and produced 36 bushels to the acre. Many
fields in that vicinity, using the same
variety of seed, produced from 35 to
40 bushels.
Misses Edna Smith, Ruth Bond,
Gertrude and Margaret Miller, Bertha and Eva Schairer, Blanche Mead,
Mary Morden- and Mrs. Edward
Henne were at Whitmore Lake
Thursday.

!     The Ann Arbor Concert series has
just announced an unusually attractive list of artists for the coming year.
;    Enrico  Caruso, the  greatest tenor
of all time, will open the course Saturday evening. October 19.   Hill audi-
, torium  has  been the scene of many
' brilliant musical entertainments, but
Caruso'* coming is expected to eclipse
all   previous    attractions.   The   fact
i that the concert occurs on the even-
' ing of the day of the annual M. A. C.~
' Mcihigan football game is of special
, interest to friends and alumni of the
j two great state institutions who will
have    an    opportunity of witnessing
both events.
Monday    evening,    November   'IS,
Anna  Case,   the  renowned American
operatic and conceit artist, will   appear in recital.    She has distinguish-
j ed herself as a shining light among
j the Metropolitan Opera's many stars
i and her splendid artistry has won for
her a host of enthusiastic admirers.
1 "onday    evening,    December    16,
. e po d  (iodowsky, the famous  Russian p'an st.will make his Ann Arbor
.debut.    He  is one of the few  great
piano  virtuosos   who   have   not  been
heard in this series.      He was  first
in ard in America, where he was heiv
a ded as one of the greatest.    Since
1SS5. he lias toured the country several times and has made it his home.
He is referred to as "The most American of foreign artists."
Tuesday evening, January 21,
.T seph Bonnet, the distinguished
French organist, will make his second
appearance in" Ann Arbor. His triumph as a Festival artist last May
was so pronounced that his immediate re-engagement for a second ap-
pea-ance before his return to France
was necessary to satisfy the insistent
demandsof Ann Arbor concert patrons.
'i uusday, February 18, Tosclia Sei-
d;-l, the last and greatest of Auer's
violin sensations", will appear in the
final Pre-Festival concert. The Boston "Transcript" has aptly illustrated
the different processes of the two re-
mat "icable young men, Heifetz and
Seit'el, by the phrase that "Heifetz
plays lilw an angel" whereas "Seidel
p"a*s like a devil". In other words,
the great perfection which is attained oy the one with almost uncanny
ease and apparently without effort,
is secured by the other as the result
of conscientious and dogged persistence.
Tiie Annual Festival will be held
during four days in May and will
consist of six concerts, utilizing the
combined efforts qf orchestra, chorus,
organ, and a list of the world's greatest artists, both vocal and instrumental.
Those desiring further information
may secure illustrated announcement
by addressing Charles A. Sink, secrev
tary, Ann Arbor.

Here is Why Farmers Buy
MeCormick Corn Binders
THE MeCormick goes into a cornfield, in whatever
shape it may be — heavy or light crop, tall or short       *
corn, standing or badly, d"own and tangled — and it finishes
the job with the field "slick and clean," stalks and ears all in.
smooth bundles, easy to handle.
Besides, it saves a lot of very hard work and much time,
and it puts your stalks into shape for shredder or stack, instead
of leaving them in the field.
The MeCormick does these things because it is built right:
— very strong, yet easy on the horses, with a solid steel main
frame that keeps the parts always in perfect alignment. It
can be easily adjusted^ from the driver's seat to handle all
Ir*- -•'■hs or conditions of your corn crop,
jr.-ie in and see the MeCormick corn binder.    Drop in any time.
