READING ROOM Is
PLANNED FOR MEN
Who Are Engaged at Work
During the Week
DAYS.

The Central Trades Council held
its regular session Thursday night
in the Pythian ball, with larger at
tendance than usual, in fact there
was almost full representation.
/ The meeting was a most interest
ing and helpful one, owing to the
many matters disposed OF and plan
ned for the betterment OF the work
ingman and those dependent upon
him.
The interests OF employers have
by no means been overlooked as the
council fully appreciates the import
ant relationship between employer
and employe, and 1t is argued that
what is for the highest good of the
one Is also beneficial to the other.
An important matter which has
been under discussion the last two
or three meetings is the establish
ment and maintenance of reading
room. centrally located. and to be
open especially on Sunday after
moons. for the benefit of the public
IN general, but for laboring men in
particular. II is urged that quite a
number OF men are engaged at work
In and around clarksburg. who are
away from their homes and who
have NO especial place to so for en-
tertainment and mental and moral
Improvement. A reading room
would meet this need. AS a rule,
when Sunday comes the working
man needs not so much active recre-
alton as rest and regeneration. 1t
is the general expression OF all the
delegates that this movement should
be taken up before next winter.

Sentenced To Hay Fields.

A dispatch from Owosso says
'Shiawassee county first, last and all
the time is the motto of Gustave Frie-
gel, the new municipal Justice in this
city. Shiswsssee being almost sur
rounded by dry counties. is mecca
for those whose thirst for strong
waters becomes too great to Withstand
and the result il that many end up in
Jail here for too much indulgence.
Now Shiawassee farmers are calling
long and loud In their having. and
this shortage of help gave Justice
Freigel an idea. When these drunks
are brought before him he gives them
the option of going to Jail for 80 days
or going to work for some Shiawassee
farmer for the same length of time.
Most of them prefer the working
stunt and the farmers. having heard of
the scheme, are flooding the Justice
with applications for men.

A Favorable Comparison.

At Monday evenings school meet
ing President Ezra.Smith made the fol-
lowing comparison of school expenses
with our neighbor city st. John IS
St Johns was selected as being the
city nearest in size to Alma in this
part of the state. Alma having 100
pupils on her school census and ST.
Johns 800. The figures by Mr. Smith
were as follows ana given in round
numbers; Alma has 81 school teachers.
st. Johns 26. Alma paid $l1.500 for
teachers wages, st. Johns Sl4.5
Alma's total school expense $17 800
per wear. St. Johns S24. 900. In other
words with difference of only 10
pupils 1t costs st. Johns So. 500 more
per year to operate her schools than it
costs the taxpayers of Alma The
above is certainly a credita BILE show
ing for the work of Alma's efficient
school board. especially so when we
consider the fact that the schools of
Alma are second to none in the entire
state.
