And also our trade in other lines of baked goods. It is because our products are pure and appetizing and also, because
it is about as cheap and much less trouble than baking at
home.

Get Ready For United
War Work Campaign
Plans .for the great United "War
Work Campaign are well under way,
and it will be the biggest thing of its
kind ever pulled oft in the history of
the world.
It is no small task the country asks
of its people, to raise more than $170,-
000,000 to carry on the -work of tftie
several organizations which are doing
so much in the way of welfare work-
for our boys in the camps aind ''over
there."
The; quota, for the Saline district
has been placed ajt $8,000, .and this
amount will be raised in muoh the
same way the fourth Liberty Loan
was put across—by the -volunteer
plan. Headquarters will be in the
old Savings Bank building, and two
days have been set apai-jt as volunteer
days; Saturday and Sunday, November
9 and 10. On these days every man,
woman and child in the district who
can contribute to this big fund, are
expected to go to headquarters and
make their pledge. The pledges may
be for any amount, and six months
are to be allowed in which to redeem
them, if one wishes time on them-
We say pledges may be for any
amount, but this is -said advisedly. All
are supposed to pledge ais much as
can possibly be afforded. To make
jt easy for those^who do not know
just how much should be pledged, every -one in this district will, be given
a quota by a committee competent to
do so, and (this quota may be learned
on iinquiry ;at headquarters. It is expected there will be clerical force on
hand large: enough" to get the work
done promptly, so no one neied be detained very long.
Think it over, carefully and prayerfully, to the end that the Saline district may go over the top on the days
set, and with some to spare. The
Cause is right, the quotas will be fair,
and when the boys come home they
will tell us the money was wisely
raised and expended.
Get the days and dates fixed in
.your mind,—'Saturday and Sunday, No^
vember 9 and 10.
The quota for- the district is $8,000
—-which means that we shall all have
to give, and give till, it hurts, and
then, perhaps, some more.

FIRE PRETENTION RAT IS
SATURDAY, NOYEMRER 2
Governor Sleeper Urges Inspection of
"Premises—Fire  losses Impair
American Fiiiane'al Resources.
Following we give Governor Sleeper's proclamation for Fire Prevention
Day, which is self-explanatory:
"One of the greatest problems confronting the. American people today
is the great destruction of property
by fire and the losses have increased
to an .alarming extent. During" the
year 1917 the tosses by fire in Michigan exceeded the sum of $10,000,000
and in the United .states the losses
were approximately $275,000,000.00
•wMdh is nearly $3 per capita for,
each man, woman and child in the
cipuntiJy'.
"These great financial losses thus
impair American financial resources
at a time when war conditions caTS
for the utmost retrenchment and
thrift, and in keeping witfh the spirit
of conservation I earnestly request
that all efforts of prevention of fire
shall be aided and I do therefore proclaim Saturday, the second day of
November, Fire Prevention Day, .and
urge all. citizens of the state to properly observe the day by (thoroughly
inspecting their premises and removing causes which would permit needless conflagration.
"That public buildinigs and factories be cleaned of rubbish.
"That all heating, wiring land fire
extinguishing apparatus he examined
and placed in proper condition.
"That all chimneys be thoroughly
examined, cleaned and properly repaired, and
"That appropriate exercises be held
in alii, schools throughout the state on
Friday, November 1st, and (the teachers assisted hy municipal officers and
the fire departments give the children
such, instruction and information as
they may have a*t theiir command on
the subject of fire prevention.
"We shoul|d remedy the conditions
that entail suoS. enormous losses of
life and property, and let us co-operate in helping to make Michigan fire
proof.," —■

Better Service to You
We don't want you to think of the Citzens Bank just
as a place to deposit jour money, although of course we
are glad to have you keep as large a balance with us as
possible.
It is our desire to render our patrons every service
and accommodation that can reasonably be expected
of us.
The Burrougs Bookkeeping Machine, which we have
just added to our equipment, makes it possible for us
to give you better service than ever before in the handling of your account.
By the machine method, your account is kept in balance all the time. If, as sometimes happens, you want
a statement of your balance in a hurry, we can give it
to you, including today's checks and deposits, in less
than five minutes.
A neatly printed statement made out on the Burroughs goes to each depositor every month. The state-
* ment shows all checks and deposits and gives the balance of your account to date, taking the pl'aee of the
tedious and unsatisfactory plan of calling in and ^balancing pass books.
The machine affords absolute protection against "errors in figure handling. It can't make a mistake. You
can always be sure that your machine-figured balance
is correct.
The increased speed, accuracy and protection of this
rnechanical bookkeeping system, added to our tbioT-
ough knowledge of good, consistent banking and business methods, makes it possible for us to offer you an
improved service that is equal to that furnished by the
country's most progressive banks.
