GERMAN DAY CLEARED $600

A LIGHT WHEAT CROP IN SALINE THIS YEAR.

BUT SUPERVISOR HAUSER FARED BETTER THAN HIS NEIGHBORS DID.

Saline, Mich., Aug. 19. - (Special to Daily Argus). - Supervisor Ed Hauser had nine acres of wheat which threshed 146 bushels this year. But his wheat was much better than that of his neighbors. One farmer secured 52 bushels from 28 acres, which is just about the quantity he planted. Another secured only 22 bushels from 20 acres. But the average of the township it is said, will be about eight bushels. Mr. Hauser's 10 acres of oats yielded 42 1/2 bushels to the acre. The corn crop is a good one.

The Saline Arbeiter Verein took in $1,200 at the German-American Day celebration and cleared about $600.

Tommy McNamara, of Chelsea, when he came over here on German-American day, brought nine horses with him.

A. Frank Clarke was the first secretary of the Tri-State Band Association which held its meeting in Detroit this week.

Will Collum, of Jackson, was here yesterday visiting his father.

Leon Shaw, of Ann Arbor, was here yesterday. He has secured no trace of his stolen bicycle.
