GOV. CALLS SPECIAL
Says he Regards Situation Extra.
ordinary and Demanding
Relief.
SESSION TO MEET OCTOBER I
Call Refers Only 10 Mt. Pleasant
Normal Funds and Primary
Reform.

Governor Fred NJ. WARNER has is
sued the following call for a special
session OF the legislature to convene
October nth
ITO all whom it may concern:
Section seven of article FIVE of the
constitution of the state of Michigan,
empowers the governor to convene
the legislature in extraordinary occa-
sions. AT the last regular session OF
the legislature the two houses disa-
greed regarding the bill making ap-
propriations for the maintenance OF
the Central Normal School for the
ensuing two years as well as for inn
provements at that institution. The
contention was raised after the legis-
lature had adjourned that the bill as
signed by the governor was not the
bill that had passed the house and
the senate and therefore void, thus
depriving the college OF funds for
maintenance and necessary better
ments.
The people of the state ara almost
a unit in demanding that all candi-
dates for public office who are voted
for by the primary system shall be
selected by the people and under no
circumstances by a delegation. The
existing law in Michigan makes this
provision for all candidates save
those for governor and lieutenant
governor. At IT'S recent session the
legislature failed to make a number
Of changes in the law which the peo-
pie OF the state desire. These uni
versally desired changes should be
made before another general election
is held in Michigan. The legislature
alone can supply the needed remedies.
Regarding the situation as extra
ordinary and as demanding immediate
attention, hereby call the legislature
Of the State OF Michigan to meet in
extraordinary session on Monday. the
9TH day OF October, 1907, at - o'clock
noon of that day to consider such
matters as Shall be submitted by the
governor by special message"

MISS VELAA SHARP GIVES OPENING RECITAL.
Large Audience Which Filled the Chapel Overlooking En-
Oyed the Classical Program-The Singing of Mrs.
Roy Arthur LitleieId Was Pleasing
Feature.

The first recital held under the
auspices OF the School of Music was
given by Miss Velma Sharp in the
college chapel Friday evening, Sep
tcmber goth, at 500 o'clock. Miss
Sharp is a post graduate of the
school, a graduate of the Michigan
Conservatory OF Music, probably the
only woman who has graduated from
that institution i'll Orchestration, and
will return to Europe in October.
Her teachers have been Jonas OF
Berlin, Friedman of Vienna, and Les
tchetizky of Vienna, under whom
she resumes her studies. Miss sharp
was assisted by Mrs. Roy Arthur
Littleheld, solost of the First Pres
byterian church Of Detroit. The coll
lege chapel, usually large enough to
hold the audiences that attend recitals
there, was filled to overflowing by
the students and friends of Miss
Sharp.
The first number was a Beethoven
Sonata, Op. 10, No L. This was rem
dered with traditional Interpretation
and adequate tecnique Miss Sharp's
beautiful singing tone made this clas-
sical piece appeal even to those un-
initiated in music. Her Chopin num-
Der showed originality in its rendition
and a depth Of feeling that placed
her work far above mediocrity. Her
great strength, her finished tecnique
and tone beauty appeared in the
Raft selection, "Giga con Variazione.7
Both the Raft number and the Valse
lmpromptu by LIT are pieces writ
ten for the virtuosi but the large
audience was held by these even more
than by the first two numbers. The
Lit Valse came forth with spon-

taneity and freshness that were de-
lightful. Miss Sharp's mastery Of
the singing touch and her knowledge
OF the technical side OF music make
her by far one OF the most finished
artists that have ever studied in the
school OF music at Alma.
Too much cannot be said of the
singing OF Mrs, Littleheld, who as
sisted Miss Sharp. The song, "Elsa's
Dream from Lohengrin, was given
with deep feeling. Mrs Littleheld
has a fine soprano and her method
is good As to her German number
the first three songs from Schumann
were pleasing; and the beautiful
Strauss song, "Allerseelen,' which is
one Of his gems, was very we'll given.
Her English songs, given as the sixth
number on the program, were re-
ceived the best on ac ccount of the
ease with which the large crowd un-
derstood them They were rendered
with exquisite finish, spirit, and deli
cacy In response to an encore Mrs.
Littleheld won hearty applause by a
tender Scotch ballad, playing her
own accompaniment. In her other
songs she was accompanied by Miss
Ellen Ransom, head of the piano de-
partment in the college. Her work az
an accompanist was perfect and must
have been a delight to the singer.
il is hoped that these opening re-
citals by alumni of the school of
music may be made an annual affair.
Surely the enthuiastic reception Civ
en- Miss Sharp and Mrs. Little6eld by
last Friday nights audience would
warrant a strenuous effort on the part
Of the college authorities to make it
a permanent thing. -Almanian.

LEE MERCANTILE AT SUMNER

Arrangements have been completed
whereby the Lee Mercantile Co. of this
city are TO open up branch store in
Sumner. The building known as
the Maccabee Hall has been put into
excellent condition, and the new firm,
under the name of the Sumner Mercan-
tile Co., will open up its doors to the
public, nothing preventing, within the
next two weeks.
Sumner is located in one of the best
sections of country in the State of
Michigan, and is one of the best trading
points anywhere around Alma.
We feel that in securing a location in
this place the Lee Mercantile Co. are
making an excellent investment.
On the other hand we feel that the
people of Sumner are fortunate in in
ducing such concern to place a branch
within its borders.
1t will insure for our neighbors a GER
tain market for their produce, such as
butter and eggs, no matter what qnanti-
ties the Lee Mercantile Co. may be re-
quired to handle.
Full lines of groceries, dry goods,
shoes, clothing and gents furnishings
will be carried, and a good representa-
tive of line ladies ready-to-wear goods,
such as skirts, cloaks, muslin under
wear, etc.
Some carpets and curtains will also be
carried; in fact, the Lee Mercantile Co.
are willing to carry just such stock as
the people Of Sumner and surrounding
country will demand of them and sup
port. We congratulate both Sumner
and the Lee Mercantile Co. on the new
venture. Harry G. Lee will have the
management of the new enterprise.
