A Coon EXAMPLE. The ladies OF
the Presbyterian church, finding that
A debt for the parsonage had been paid
of by few gentlemen Of enlarged
and literal views, and that the men
were inefficient and poor manager Of
church finances, have naugurated
and carried into successful execution
plan Of extinguishing the debt.
The plan, rs We understand 1t, Is
this: The debt is divided into six hun
dred shares OF parts; and members Of
the congregation and church ,or those
who usually worship there take 70
many shares. The holder Of each
share pays half cent per day or three
cents per week or Sl.56 annually to-
wards liquidating the existing debt
and meeting other current incidental
expenses. The plan meets with favor,
about 80 shares being taken on the
first day Of opening the books.
The investment will pay good diyi-
dends TO the stockholders, and Will,
moreover, insugurate a systematic ei-
for. to discharge a high and sacred
duty. A suspension Of an adequate
support ofthe ministry and Of meeting
church expenses, hurts a community

100 barrels of rye and buckwheat

has built up for the quality of the
flour produced is one of which they
have just cause to feel proud. and
they are very large shippers to New
York and New England, the greater
portion of which goes into the export
trade to Liverpool and Glasgow.
One thing which has made these
mills of especial value to this city
and which is fully appreciated by its
residents and the people of the sur
rounding country, is the fact that the
same quality of flour is sold locally
as is made for the export trade In
many mills throughout the country
there is custom of making one class
of flour for the export trade and an
other for home consumption. Not so

Hhnd Sugar Company

raising of this crop has proven of
great financial benefit to the tillers
of The soil
We have no intention of discussing
the technical question of whether the
raising of sugar beets is profitable
to the farmer or not. While there
are undoubtedly those whose opin
ions will differ from ours, still by
far the large majority of those who
have tried the crop will agree that
there is no room for an argument
this great majority agree that they
are a very profitable crop for the
farmers and the fact that those who
have given their cultivation the most
careful study are the most persistent
growers is an argument which is hard
to meet. That many mortgages upon
the farms in this locality have been
paid off from the proceeds of beet
values of farm lands have increas-
ed from % to 80 per cent since the
establishment Of a sugar factory in
this city. The farmers who stick by
the sugar beet year in and year out
are those who are the most enthu-
siastic over this crop as a money pro-
Queer, and who should know more
about it's merits than the man who is
everlastingly at it?
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1905-10-13

That this factory has been Of mark
ed benefit to the city of Alma is also
generally admitted Not alone be-
cause of the money which it has spent
among the farmers of this locality,
but also because of the large sums
which have been expended here in
wages since it first commenced oper-
atoms. Although this factory runs
but three months in each year, still
it must be borne in mind that while
in operation il runs continuously
p hours per day and seven days to
the week. The sugar factory employs
275 men and working "a hours per
day puts in 1GS hours per week, or
two and two-thirds times as many
hours as the ordinary factory, which
runs ten hours per day, or sixty hours
per week Thus in three months
operations the sugar factory works
more hours than does the ordinary fac
tory or manufacturing establishment,
running ten hours per day, in period
Of eight months. When these condi-
tons are carefully considered it will
be seen that the sugar factory fur
nishes employment to a far greater
extent than it is sometimes credited
with.

ALMA ROLLER MILLS.
One of the Leading Industries of This
Little City.

Little City.
While in no wise disc. editing or de-
tractirg from the benefits derived
through the presence of the other
manufacturing concerns within the
city of Alma, still it must be admit
ted that the Alma Roller Mills have
been, and are today, to the very fore
front among those institutions which
have largely contributed toward the
upbuilding of this city, and the bring
ing of Ii to its present state Of thrift
ana prosperity. Their presence here,
and the manner in which they have
been conducted, has long been one OF
the inducements which have brought
farmers to this place, while the class
on flour manufactured by them has
been the means of gaining much val
liable advertising for the city.
The original Alma mills were built
by James Gargett in 1861 and were
the first built in this section of Mich
igan. Under his management the
mills at once proved a successful in
vestment being conducted by him
until December 1880, when the plant
was entirely destroyed by fire. In
the spring following the site was
purchased by Col w. S. Turck and
new mills of a modern pattern were
az once erected.
In the fall of 1881 a. w Wrigh.
purchased an interest in the plant
and for the next six years it was con
Quoted by Messrs Wright and Turck
proving very profitable investment
/ for these gentlemen In 1887 Mr..
! Wright purchased Mr. Turck's inter
est and in 1891 Mr.. l.. A. Sharp was
admitted to the business, since which
time it has been carried on under
the firm of name of A. w. Wright &
| Co. Modern machinery has been ad-
ded, and today these are considered
among the very best equipped mills
in Michigan In 1897 a large grain
elevator was erected with a storage
capacity of 10000 bushels, and a new
warehouse constructed the same year
has a capacity of 1000 barrels of

give a more comprehensive idea of
what has been accomplished during
the six years this factory has been
in operation. The total amount paid
10 the farmers of this section FOR
sugar beets during the first six sea-
sons was $1,300O00, while during this
same period $303. 600 was distributed
among the men who found labor in
this factory. In these same six years
the company has manufactured a to-
tai of 53,OO0.0OO pounds of sugar.
These figures are something for peo-
pie to study upon.

line of staple and fancy groceries,
yet devotes a portion of his attention,
in season, to farm and garden seeds.
Ii has always been his endeavor to
place before his customers thorough
ly reliable goods, devoting the great
er portion of his energies toward an
effort to get the best possible goods
for the money. rather than endeavor-
ing TO see how cheap goods could be
secured regardless of quality. By
following these lines he has firmly
established himself, not alone with
the people OF this city, but with the
farmers for many miles outside the
city So well has he succeeded that
it is no uncommon thing to hear some
person remark that anything you
buy at Bakers is all right"

The Alma Sugar Company was or
ganized early in the year 1899. Their
factory was constructed during the
summer of that year, and in Novem-
Der, 1899, they first commenced slic-

sugar.

The Alma Sugar Company is one OF
the business enterprises which have
very largely contributed toward the
upbuilding of this city, and the pros
perity felt by the farmers of this sec
ton of the state. The raising of sugar
beets has proven an industry which
has raised many of the farmers out
of the rut of despair and placed them
in comfortable, If not prosperous
financial conditions. The installa-
ton of sugar factory in this city
added a direct impetus to the life of
the farmer of this section, and it is
almost universally conceded that the
