Thursday, May 1, was the twenty-fifth

furnished by the young people of that
community we note especially as excel
lent.
Rev. n w. Weston, in "A few well
chosen words, presented the host and
hostess with a beautiful silver cake

North Shade Farmers Cub Dis.
cuss Important QUESTION.
METHOD TO IMPROVE H|GHWAY
The Meeting was Held With Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Strong Last Friday
Afternoon.

a fair sized crowd Of farmers and
their wives gathered at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Strong in Middleton
Friday p. m. MAY ,, TO enjoy the fine
musical and literary program which had
been prepared, but owing 10 the busy
season several who were 10 have taken
part i'll the program were absent, hence
the program was cut short. However,
all seemed 10 enjoy the afternoon.
President Cushman was unable 10
remain through the session so the meet
ing was called TO order by Vice Presi-
dent Jas. Stonebrook and song was
sung by the club members. The state
question, "Should Michigan have uni
form set of text books for her rural
schools and they furnished by the state?"
was opened for discussion by Mrs.
Frank Salisbury. She favored uniform
as also did Mr.. Spiece bat was not in
favor of books being furnished by the
state as many scholars wished TO keep
their text books and then there was apt
to be carlessness on the part of the
pupils in tearing to pieces and destroy
ing books if furnished by the state
while Oh the other hand if the books
were purchased by the parents they
would feel that their books were taken
care of and if they were destroyed let
the parent replace them. Mr.. Stone
brook thought if the books were printed
by the state they could be furnished at
half of the present cost.
How can We improve the present
method of working the highways" II
was stated that the law calls for a road
bed sixteen feet wide, then if a ditch
was made on either side, the road bed
turnpiked mp, then graveled we would
have fine roads; then let each man when
working on the road, work with as much
interest and as faithfully as though he
was laboring ON his own farm. IL was
also stated that il Is not the farmers.
who are objecting TO the present method
of working the road or the present con-
dition of the road but the man who is
seeking office or the owner of an auto.
Mrs Lucy Reynolds gave a select read
ing, then little Gertrude Foust gave
recitation in very distinct and pleasing
manner. Good Night Papa" very
touching selection was read by Mrs.
Salisbury. Several questions were pre-
pared for the question box which took
up some time in answering and after
another song by the club the meeting
adjourned to meet the first Friday in
June with Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Cr rsmore.

MICHIGAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION
Thorton A. Green at Head of Movement for
state Organization.

Under the immediate leadership Of
Thorton a. Green, the representative
business and lumberman of Ontonagon,
Mich, the numerous and active friends
of forestry are organizing the Michigan
Forestry association. For years the
need of such an organization has been
felt most keenly. The possibilities for
action of such an organization in Michi-
gan are unusually great. For half
century the people of the state have been
interested in their forest wealth; the
wood working industry has stood next
TO agriculture in its importance and for
years the state of Michigan was the
greatest timber producing district of its
size in the world.
A meeting of the members will be
called some time in June when the
organization will be perfected and
definite plan of action outlined.
Ii is an undertaking, which if properly
carried out, will result in untold good,
will add millions of dollars every year
to the income of the state and do much
TO maintain the high standard of Michi-
gan as al agricultural a. well as manu-
featuring commonwealth.

As Result Of a Religious Awak-
enins Roy g. Hershey Re-
turns to Uncle SANS
Service.
A DEsERTER FOR TWO YEARS
But Afterwards Deserted His
Company at Fort Sloeum.
New York

Last Monday morning Roy CT. Hershey
young man twenty-four years of age,
surrendered himself TO the L. 5. officers
at Grand Rapids, as deserter. Most
of the time for the past two years he
has been in Alma, known by his assumed
name, Roy Williams.
At the time he deserted he was re-
gular in company G. 18th Infantry, He
enlisted at Kansas City, Kansas, had
served Uncle Sam one term in the
Philippine army and was honorably
discharged, but he reinlisted and had
served only ten months when he became
dissatisfied and deserted from Fort Slo-
cum, n. Y
He first stopped at Cadillac but stayed
there but short time when he came on
TO Alma, where he has made many
friends He was good industrious
fellow and soon found employment with
the ellison Brothers, where he lived all
the time he was in the city
About IA month ago when the wave Of
revival swept the city he was converted
and made a public confession, exposing
his real identity and stating his willing
ness TO return TO the army and receive
his punishment
An investigation was made by Rev
Hoag, who corresponded with the proper
officials, and found that the statements
were true. Mr.. Hoag accompanied the
young man TO Grand Rapids Monday
morning TO appear before the recruiting
officers there, and il was supposed he
would be sent back 20 his company at
Fort Slocum, but instead he was ordered
to Detroit They returned through here
Tuesday afternoon.
The interest taken i'll this young man
by Mr.. Hoag merits the highest praise
His genial spirit and companionship is a
great influence i'll keeping the young
people of his church i'll the right way
The case of Roy Hershey is one of the
most conspicuous results sof the recent
conversions among the young people in
the Methodist church

ZETA SIGMA WON.
Defeated Phi Phi Alpha I'm the lnter-soci-
ETY. Debate, Monday Evening.

The most spirited contest that Alma
platform, was the society debate, Mon.
day evening, between Phi Phi Alpha
and Zeta Sigma. Both Societies had been
working long time for this occasion
and went into il with the customary
zeal and enthusiasm of Alma College
students. Both organizations are at
present strong and the competition be-
tween the two societies is a lively,
healthy one, and its result was seen in
the excellent debate which they put up
Monday evening.
The question debated was: Resolved,
That the best interests of society and
labor demand the Open Shop.
The Phi Phi Alphas took the affirma-
tive and David A. Johnson, '05, as
leader opened the debate The others
on the affirmative in the order in which
they spoke were, Francis Cobb. '0S;
Clair Cratzenburg, '0S; Norman King,
'O5; and Levi Butler. '05.
Zeta Sigma defended the negative, and
Earl r. Casterlin, '07 acted as leader,
the other debaters being ]. Earle Web
ber, '05; Harold G. Gaunt, '06; Israel
Himelhoch, '07; and Fred G.. Soule,
'06. Both societies delivered themselves
IN very crediable manner, in the argu-
ment presented, the refutation, and in
ease and grace upon the platform.
However only one side could win and
the decision of the judges was in favor
of the negative, thus deciding in favor
of the Zeta Sigma Society.
The judges were Congressman A. b.
Darragh, of ST. Louis; Rev. r. NJ
Williams, of Ithaca and ID. l.. Johnson,
of Alma
The proceeds of the debate will go
toward debating cup, which will be
put up each year and striven for by the
two societies AS a result of the debate
Monday night the cup will remain with
the Zeta Sigma this year.

WHOSE SOCKS!
Some Alma Fishermen Have Queer Tx

Early last week some well known
heads of families hiked TO the Northern
streams TO gather in speckled beauties.
and breath the air of freedom. This
was all right on the face Of it, but il
now comes TO light that this was not
all they did while away on that trip
They enjoyed the hospitality of farmer
over night, and one of the party, a
clever agriculturist, was quite at home.
so much so in fact, that after eating a
breakfast that would more than do
justice TO lumber jack, he deliberately
walked away without paying the good
farmer for his accommodation, and
worse yet, IL was later discovered that
he had worn off pair of the farmers
socks. He was justly scored by his
reverend friend for such conduct The
penalty was later metered out TO him
when he returned TO his room TO arrange
his toilet so that his own dog would
know him on his return home. His
best shoes and stockings were missing
and with a bewildered look and an
I-didn' -think-it-of-you expression on
his face he espied them on the feet Of
his reverend friend, whose only excuse
was that he fell in the creek and had no
change of footwear. This excuse was
accepted from the fact that the Rev.
looked very humble, and had shown
himself humble servant by prefering
TO sleep on the floor rather than rest his
weary bones on downy cot with his
room mate. Whether these episodes
cast reflections on our would be fisherman
or the Accommodations as they existed we

Proposition is Advanced to Turn
The Alma" Into a Con-

BE PURCHASED BY THE STATE
Pres. J. X. Lancashire Of the Sanitar-
ium Board States He Has Not Been
Approached on the Subject.

The state papers say that Chairman
Ward, of the house committee on wayi

bill for state tuberculosis sanitorium
says a new proposition has been ad
vanced in connection with the matter
This is that the state shall acquire the
big sanitorium at Alma for the treat.
ment of consumption, and he proposes
that some member of the committee
visit the institution to see what arrange
ments could be made TO secure il.
Sanitarium Board stated TO the RECORD
yesterday morning that he had not as yet
been approached relative to the matter,
but that they were ready TO consider
any favorable proposition tending 10
the sale of the property.
The Moriarty tuberculosis bill, which
passed the senate Wednesday without
objection, provides for state sanitorium
for consumptive patients, 10 be located,
erected and conducted under the direc-
ton of a board of six trustees, who are
TO be named by the governor and con-
firmed by the senate, and who shall serve
without pay. Four of the trustees shall
be legally registered physicians, and the
board shall appoint medical superin-
tendent not of their number, who must
be legally qualified physician, TO have
personal charge of the institution. Per-
sons suffering from consumption who
are residents of this state and are unable
to pay the expense of their residence at
the sanitorium, shall be received a. pa
tients at the public expense; aud those
who are able 10 pay, whether residents
of this or other states, may be received
at their own expense, under regulations
and at rates of charges TO be determined
by the board The cost of maintaining
INDECENT patients at the institution is 10
be charged to the counties from which
they come, and superintendent of the
poor are also required TO provide at the
county expense for their transportation
and for such suitable clothing and srti-
cles of necessity as are needful. The bill
appropriates fifty thousand dollars for
buildings, and provides for site TO be
conveyed by the land commissioner ont
of the public lands of the state upon
selection by the trustees; and for the
maintainence of the institution, thirty
thousand dollars annually. The meas
ure was given immediate effect, and the
concurrence of the house is not doubted.

ALMA AND STANDARD TIME.
why Shouldn't Alma Get in Line on the
standard Time Issue?

Why not standard time? 1t is now
something over thirty years since stand
ard time was adopted by the railroads of
this country, and today there are only a
comparatively few cities and towns
too old fashioned and puritanical as TO
adhere to local or sun time. The incon-
veience and annoyance of having two
times in our community has been tole-
rated, but not enjoyed, and will isome
good citizen tell us why il should be
continued. Why carry any longer the
red and black hands ON our watches?
Let our city fathers make standard time
official and then let Us run ON standard.
Don't blew our factory whistles at
$3.50 a m. standard but o'clock stand
ard. Let our churches commence at
lO:3O a. m. standard. Eat drink and
sleep and have all our doings on stand
