SHORT COURSE FOR FARMERS

A short course for farmers will be
held at the Mt. Pleasant Normal for
one week during the early part of the
winter. This is not to be an insti-
tute, but a school of agriculture. The
work will be made as practical as pos
sible with our facilities. Considerable
time will be spent studying stock, and
stock feeding; visits will be made to
nearby farms for the work; corn
judging will be taught; soil expert
ments, spraying, mixing of fertilizers,
and the chemistry of farm products
will be illustrated. The following is
the program for one days work:
9:00-l0:3 :30-Soils.
10:30-11:30 - Chemistry of farm
products.
1:00-2:00-Fruit and spraying.
2:00-3 00-Stock feeding.
3;00-5 5:00-Stock judging.
7:30-Good roads.
In the evening more general sub
jects, as the country school, good
roads and forestry, will be discussed
by good speakers.
Any one interested may attend and
no tuition will be charged. Arrange
ments will be made to secure board
and rooms at reasonable rates.
There will be several instructors
from the Agricultural college TO assist
in the work. This is the first attempt
TO hold a short course for farmers in
Michigan outside of Lansing, and it is
hoped that it will meet with hearty
support and good attendance. Due
announcement as to the exact nature
of the work and the time of holding
the school will be made later

new SHOW CASES

The enterprising firm of Cushing &
Benedict are again demonstrating that
hustling and advertising get the busi-
ness. The latest feature in the growth
of this firm is their Improvement in
equipment for showing goods. Upon
purchasing the store which they are
now conducting they found ordinary
wooden counters Now they have
equipped it with glass display coun-
ters. These consist of glass front and
top, with mirrors in the back and are
very serviceable in two important re-
spects In the first place they add
very materially to the beauty of the
store and the amount of display room.
Second, they afford very much more
counter room than the old fashioned
round topped display cases. Cushing
& Benedict will no doubt find their
new equipment of much value to
them.

1HEYPLAYED FOOTBALL
Alma College Team Defeated YpSilantl
22 TO 8
BEFORE AN AUDIENCE OF 1000
Coach Grady Is Getting ResultS-FOrward
Pass Used

Last Saturday Alma college football
team played the State Normalites at
Ypslant, in speaking of which the
Detroit Free Press of Sunday said:
"Alma college football team sue
cessfully defended its title of Michi-
gan intercollegiate champions by a
22-to-6 victory over the Normals. The
game was replete with brilliant play.
Both teams took advantage of the new
rules and made frequent use of fake
forward passes, punts and end runs TO
bewilder the opposing eleven.
"Ypsilanti owes her defeat to the
fact that experience counts for every
thing in football. This is the third
year on the eleven for some of the
Alma men and their interference and
tackling were superb. The Normals
lost to a better team. Kefgen, Rogers,
striffler and Hyde of the upstate
school played stellar ball at all times.
Avery, Durgan and Exelby were the
shining lights of the home team.
Becker had it over Cook in the kick
ing, making one punt of over SIS yards.
\ pretty feature of the afternoon was
procession of about 1000 Normal
rooters, men and co-eds, who marched
about the gridiron during the inter-
mission between the second and third
periods, preceded by the Normal
band. 1t was touching example of
college loyalty"
