The Women

The hand that rocks the cradle may rule the world all right, but the wom- an who is competent to handle finan- cial matters is able to take good care of herself which at times may be as important to her, as the question of ruling the world.
 Many women today are good finan- lciers. They understand all about handling money. Many of them keep their own accounts at our bank. Other women might profitably follow their example. It's fine of course to depend upon husband, father. brother or some other friend to save you the care of handling money matters. but the relative you depend on may not be with you always. What would happen then? We invite all the la dies to open little account with us, no matter how small. The eXperi- ence will be helpful.

On Monday evening, Salem's Luth-

pastor, held it's annual meeting of
voting members at the school hall on
Milwaukee street.
The meeting was one of the best in
attendance as well as interest and
amount of business transacted. The
reports of officers show that the con-
gregation is in a flourishing condition
in every department.
The salaries of the pastor and
teacher, Prof. VIM. J. Rudow, were in
creased. The parochial school con-
Quoted by the latter with the assist
ance of Rev. Theo. G. Hahn, is again
we'll attended, having an enrolment
of 76 pupils, who are taught in all
the studies of the eight grades of the
public schools under the influence of
the word of God. Salems congrega-
ton is especially proud of this school
as it is a great mission work to keep
the youth in the church and to make
not only good Christians, but also true
loyal citizens of our country. 1t is
well worth the extra sacrifice. The
following is the list of officers for the
ensuing year:
Trustees-R. Raatz, chairman; c..

Extra collectors-W. Rudow, c..
Wietzke, H. Schneider, c. Fritzler.
The congregation has in it's pos
session a church building, corner
Washington and William streets, and
parsonage, 10 E. Williams, its school
building with two rooms and hall and
the teachers dwelling at 508 Mil
waukee st. Only a comparatively
small debt, which was caused mainly
through the purchase Of the teachers
dwelling several years ago, is resting
on the property.
Next Sunday at 2:3O p. m. English
services and Lords supper will be
held at the church.

FOR LIBERTY BONDS.
Governor Sleeper Issues Proclamation
Urging People to Buy.

TO the People of Michigan:
Once more it falls upon me as the
Governor to bring to your attention
a matter of the utmost Importance to
all of us in the conduct of the war.
1t is not necessary to recount al
this time the events which led up to
our entry into this terrific struggle
nor the reasons which forced us, a
peaceful and peace-loving people, to
take up arms in defense of liberty
and democracy. We know them all
only too we'll.
In consequence we are outstanding
our resources, are giving of our ma
terial wealth, and are offering on the
sacrifcial altar the life blood Of our
splendid young manhood.
Michigan Is sons are going forth to
defend the nation. Michigan must
stand as one man behind them and
provide a full share of whatever f.
nancial support may be required.
Nothing must be left undone, no mat
ter what the cost, to win this war,
and win it speedily. Let us not do
half-heartedly the part that may be
ours in the conflict, but so lend our
selves and whatever we may have to
the cause of humanity that the clench-
ed hand of an outraged civilization
may strike not only heavily but also
quickly.
We are asked at this time to as
sumo $125,000,0OO of the second Lib
erty Loan, totaling "a, 900, 000, 600.
The bonds will be issued in such form
as to be within the reach Of all. Ev-
cry man or woman at a desk, every
worker at bench, every farmer in
the furrow, every housewife in the
home, even the children in our
schools, may take part in the Won
derful work Of making these funds
available.
Michigan responded nobly to the
call for the first Liberty Loan and to
the Red Cross appeal. We will do
our full share now and always.
l, therefore, Albert E. Sleeper, gov
ernor Of Michigan, do hereby proclaim
the month Of October period for the
distribution of Michigan portion of
the second Liberty Loan.
l further designate the fifteenth
day of October as Patriotic Day and
l request the Mayors of all cities and
the Presidents of all incorporated vii
lagos to make public proclamation
thereof to the end that all our citi-
zens may know of this opportunity
to be of service to our country. Let
every agency within our borders
whether public or private, put forth
every effort that our beloved state
may stand ont as one Of the chief
supporters of America IS fighting men
on the field of battle.
On this day or the evening.thereof,
let meeting be held in every school
house in Michigan with a program
suitable to the occasion, the children
participating, and let careful consid-
Grafton be given to the progress of
the work and its further promotion.
Given under my hand at the Capt.
tol in Lansing, this 4th day of Oct

GERMANS TO BOYCOTT
ARTISTS SINGING In U. S.
Seebach Applies New Monroe Doc
trine to Opera Stars.

THE HAGUE, May 3O.-Count See
bach. director OF the Royal Opera at
Dresden, will propose on behalf of
the German Stage Society at its next
general meeting. June >. that no
single male or female accepting en-
gagements in America shall be per-
mitted to sing in any German opera
house for 1--WE years. This does not
apply to opera conductors and d.
rectors.
Explaining the proposal. which Is
certain TO be carried unanimously,
Count Seebach says in the Berliner
ZeitunE:
This IL an artistic Monroe Die
trine for Germany. This has nothing
to do with politics. and ! should have
proposed the measure even IL Ger
man and American relations had re-
manned friendly. II il simply a ques-
tion OF self-defense The proposal
was made by me on behalf OF all the
opera directors OF Germany. for we
have all suffered under the fact that
America with gigantic salaries snaps
our best talent. ] personally have
had unpleasant examples.
Even during the war certain en-
gagements have fallen through owing
to higher salaries offered by Amer
lea"
Count Seebach concluded by saying
that in future artists would have to
decide between Germany and America.

Memorial Seems to Mean More
Silent Tribute to Flag Borne by Veteran of
Fighting in the Long Ago Gains in
Significant Fervot.

The bystander who watched the
parade or the G. A. r. today turned
away with the realization that he
had seen something different. Some
how Memorial Day seemed to mean
more today than It did a year ago
and the years before.
The test OF its deeper Significance
came as the nag was carried past by
an old fellow who did his nEhtinE
half a century ago. Almost every
body along the streets lifted hats as
the colors came by. In former years
patriotic men have uncovered their
heads. but the silent tribute to the
flag has never been so general as a
was this morning.
National guardsmens- boy scouts,
young reserve corps officers on leave
from Fort Myer. old men who fought
on the other side in the civil war,
and hundreds of plain Americans who
win register on June 5 for the war
of 1917. saluted the Stars and Stripes.
As the marchers swung around the
Treasury building q father, holding
by the hand q little boy of about six
years, barred his head. simultaneously
he took of the hat OF his son.
why did you take on my hat,
daddy?" the boy asked.
The nag is going by, son." re-
sponded the father.
That was the spirit Of this Mem
orial Day, observed at a time when
the nation once more r. at war and in
appreciation Of the fact that before
May 80 comes again many Americans

Try. Even the morale OF the people
OF the district has undergone an i'm
pIoVement. Civil life Is gradually
oelng resumed, trade is showing
signs OF revival and there is a general
ItaNak ening of the agricultural and
economic activities of the region.
The bringing in OF seed for the
farmers has permitted the planting
OF considerable tracts OF land. and
the army has given assistance by
lending the workers horses. In some
parts OF the devastated region she
ilrst signs OF the new crops already
have begun to show themselves in
the soil. Mechanical tractors are
giving marked aid and give promise
OF much further assistance next year.
All the market gardens of the re-
gion are planted and within a month
the inhabitants will be eating green
vegetables grown on their own strick-
en- fields.
