Arbor Day was observed at the college
this year with fitting services. Prompt
ly at 10 the multitude assembled
and listened TO a reading by Miss
Conelly and addresses by DIR. Bruske
and Prof. Davis. Music was inter
spersed, TO liven the occasion. After
this exercise the company repaired TO
the campus and the work of planting
trees and shrubs was begun. Before the
work ceased about forty had been added
to the list already on the campus. The
arrangement of the trees is very COM
mendable. ms Il few years Alma will
have her forest, as well as Cambridge.
Although the regular Arbor Day exer-
cises in the chapel were more widely
advertised the work of planting the
beautiful weeping willow" in front of
the boys dorm, "The o." in many re-
spects surpassed them. Frank Knox
read the poem from Oliver Wendell
Holmes, Maurice Grigsby delivered the
heart-rending Grafton and Edwin r.
kinnic ofliciated at the dedication
service Music for the occasion was
furnished by the "g4 Quartet " The
attendance was large, though strange to
say the faculty were conspicuouSly
absent. When You get the start of the
boys you must rise earlier than usual.

Probably there is no man in Alma
who has been more alive to her needs,
more liberal and progressive in business
or more highly respected by her citizens
than M. Pollasky. This gentleman has
devoted no small part of his active bust

ward worthy enterprises i'll our village.
But he does not cease here, though he
has become an old man. his interest is in
no wise weakened but he promises to do
even more for our citizens than before.
DenBergh store burned, the vacant
corner across from the Wright House
has been an eyesore TO our people.
More than once rumor has been started
that the block was TO be built, but each
time the enterprise has failed of fulfill
ment. Now we are informed that the
thing is sure go. a magnificent new
brick block will be erected, probably
three stories high, on the site.
The front will be entirely of red sand
stone with heavy French plate windows.
The third story will be erected for the
secret fraternities Of the place, provided
sufficient guarantee can be obtained from
them, and be used for lodge rooms. The
cost of the structure has been estimated
at $20, 600.
When this block is completed Alma
