THEY ALL RECOGNIZE
A GOOD THING
That's Why The Record Has SO
Many Subscribers.
AND THERE ARE MORE
Of THEM EVERY DAY.
Some of the Many Reasons Why We
Have Such Subscription List.

The fact that the Record is becoming
better and better is evidenced by the
large number Of new subscribers which
have been entered on our subscription
list within the past three weeks.
The value of good county paper is
recognized by everyone, not only for
present value, but they are kept and
filed away for ready reference therefore
reliability is one of the most essential
features of the paper you take.
The Record enters your home every
week, bright and fresh with home news
the very news which is nearest your
heart, and Of the greatest importance
and interest TO you-and you lay aside
your great state paper to read Of those
who are your friends and acquaintances.
You have heard, perhaps, of the man
who claimed he was too poor to take
county paper, so he sent his boy 10 the
Deighbor's to borrow it. On his way
the boy fell through a barbwire fence
and broke his leg; the father, in rushing
to the boys assistance tipped over
churn CT cream into basket of five pup
pies drowning the entire lot; the mother
heard the commotion and rushed out to
see what was going on; in her absence
the baby crawled through the cream
and across the parlor running forty
dollar carpet; the calves got through
the hole made in the fence. tramping
the garden and chewing the tails off
from six fine shirts which were hanging 2
on the line.
But this isn't true of the present d ay,
as is proven by our solicitor, for nearly
every man in this county takes one Of its
papers, and it is only by comparisons
that he is able to choose the best
And il is by means Of this comp arison
through our solicitor that we have dis.
covered that The Record enters more
homes and is considered the most reli-
able, cleanest, brightest, newsiest paper
circulated in Gratiot county, and he
proved it by taking many new SUBJ
scribers in communities which were
being diligently and fruitlessly work by
other papers,
The Record has adopted new and
absolutely correct system of giving the
market reports each week. We have a
! large corps OF correspondents who keep
you informed on what is going on in
your neighborhood. The local news is

VILLAGE FATHERS GET BUSY.
Extend the Tax Roll Thirty Days without
Added Per Cent.

The council met in special session
Tuesday evening and transacted consid.
erable business. The first thing under
consideration was extending the time on
the tax roll and IL was decided to extend
the time Of payment thirty days, or un-
til August 81, when the levy would be
raised from one to four per cent,
In refusing to confirm the appoint
ment OF Amos Bodine. in place of James
Parker, the village finds itself without
a nightwatch, for the present at least.
The Alma Record was chosen as the
official paper Of the city and will print
all the proceedings of the council.
No definite action was taken by the
council relative TO street sprinkling, but
IL was decided TO have the work done by
the city team on Superior-st. i'm the i'm

Society for the Alma Fire Department

Does il pay our citizens TO patron
ize mail order houses or merchants
in outside towns and cities? Do the
outside merchants contribute toward
the building up and maintenance OF
our town? Do they assist us in
building public highways? Do they
help to give the required support in
beautifying our town? Do you go TO
them for sympathy or financial
aid? Do they assist in any
manner in increasing the value Of
your property? Do they furnish
employment to our laborers: Your
answer must be in the negative un-
less you are near-sighted.
Our home merchants stand ready
to supply your needs at living pro-
fit, making every effort TO furnish
such goods as you desire, placing be-
fore you such samples of goods as
are usually carried only in the large
city stores at competing prices. Your
own merchants have the interest and
welfare Of your town at heart; do
everything that money, push and
enterprise can do to promote the best
interest of their community, labor
ing increasingly in this direction.
In fact, don't you know that you
should give this serious thought
and patronize home institutions.

then our merchants will not falter
in giving you city stores. There is
but one way to accomplish a rapid
growth of any town with a solid
foundation, and that is to stick TO-
gether, patronize the 'institutions
that assist in keeping up our public
institutions, that directly and indi-
rectly furnish employ ment to our
laborers, professional men, and
other.
1t is an indisputable fact that both
farm and town property in this Sec
tion Of the county have been in
creased about 100 per cent in the past
few years. Why? Simply because
few enterprising business men
have furnished the brain and money
TO establish institutions that create
a demand for both labor and farm
products.
What would your property be
worth today without live. active,
enterprising lot of citizens.
Help keep your town on the boom
by contributing your support, pat
ronizing home institutions, and
thus be loyal and enterprising citi-
zens, greeted and welcomed on all
sides by your fellow townspeople,
instead of undermining your own
interests through an act of selfish
illusion.
