LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

II YOU doing pretty well, let well enough alone
Don't try be the greatest swell upon the business throne
Don't try outdo all the rest and make the biggest splash
Let well enough alone is best and not invite crash
if you doing pretty well be satisfied with that
Lest at the striking of the bell fate throws the mat
Men say, No risk gain Ah well that be very true;
But when you've lost ALL tell what's to become of you
you doing pretty WELL keep and health
Don't slave and risk all day and sell happiness for wealth
Don't rush the grch scheme peme and claim the business
throne.
If you doing pretty well, let well enough alone.

all other laundry soaps-be-
cause it IS cheaper than the
fats and oils used in Sunny

soap of which we know. 1t is kind to
clothes-wlll not shrink hannels or

Sunny Monday is. just as pure as

SMALL BOY BURNED
-Four Year Old Son of Mr., and Mrs.
John BrOntO Burned In Barn
Thursday Afternoon

Thursday afternoon, Henry, the
four-year- son of Mr.. and Mrs
John Bronto, living one-half mile
west and one-half mile south of Elm
Hail. was burned to death in his
fathers barn.
1t is thought that the lad was play
ing with matches and started fire
in the hay. Mr.. Bronto was away at
the time and when the flames were
discovered by the mother it was i'm
possible to enter the building or to
quench the flames, which were roar
ing inside. In short time many of
the neighbors had arrived. but were
unable to be of any assistance until
after the building had fallen, when
the crisp and charred body. of which
only the trunk remained, was remov-
ed from the debris The remains
were inferred Friday afternoon.
A strange coincidence is the fact
that number of years ago a small
sister of the boy was burned to death
in the same building, then used as a
dwelling. The family have the sym
pathy of the community.
A horse valued at 5000 was also
burned, besides a quantity of hay,
oats, corn, clover seed and num-
Der of tools, which were stored in
the building.
No insurance was carried.

A SPECIAL TRAIN TO LANSING.

Prof. J. Q. Adams, of the depart
ment of English speech in the col
lege, is making preparations for
chartering a special train to run
from Alma to Lansing, March 4th,
on account of the mems and women's
state oratorical contest to be held
there on that date, in which two rep
resentatives from Alma college will
take part The train will leave Ian
sing on the return trip Immediately
after the close of the program,
reaching here the same night. A spe-
cial train will make it possible to OBJ
tain a round trip rate of $l.30. This
is a fine chance for those who are in
terested in seeing Alma come out
ahead to help bring the oratorical
honors of the state to this city. AT
no time has Alma stood better
chance to win than she does this
year and every effort will be made to
carry off the honors; and this is one
of the best ways to help, by being
there.

Attendance at Public Schools for
Last Term Averaged 97peF cent
LETTERS AWARDED TO MEN
Over Dozen High School Football Players
Receive ReCOgnatiOn

The average attendance of the pu-
pills of the public schools of the city
for the semester ending last week
was the very remarkable average of
ninety-seven per cent This includes
not only the high school but also all
the lower and primary grades, the lit
tie children as well as the bigger
ones. This is very good showing
as an average attendance of about
nnety-fve per cent, is usually look
ed upon as very creditable. Superin-
tendent Ellsworth states that this is
the best showing the school has
made since it has been under his
superintendency, and that he does
not remember of any school of
which he has had charge that
has eXcelled or even equaled
this record. He attributes large
share of this good attendance
to the fact that the children of Alma
have up to this last week or so been
exceptionally free from any con-
tagious diseases. which always keep
a great many from school. And even
in the last week or so the only seri-
Gus disease among the pupils has
been the measles The slight cpl
demic has however affected the at
tendance but little as it was found
that so many has had them once that
it was unnecessary to close the
schools.
Two new copies of the latest die
tionary out Webster's International
the latest edition, have been added to
the reference books of the high
school and eighth grade. These
books are up to the minute and are
standard authority. The second
semester's work has begun and is
progressing nicely, the examination
of a week ago having had no very
serious effects
At the chapel exercises Friday
morning sixteen men who had earn
ed their right to wear the football
AS were awarded their letters. The
lucky ones were Gargett, Wood,
Kress, Weaver, Bahlke, Dunham, ].
Barry. c. Barry. Clark, Rowley, F.
Smith. Cheney, Montigel, Austin and
Helman, all of whom played the
number of games required for this
honor. Each man as he was present
ed his letter was called upon for a
speech with the result that there was
flow OF oratory such as has rarely
been heard in the local schools.
President Hood. of the high school
athletic association, also responded
to repeated requests for talk. All
the speeches met with vociferous ap-
plause and noisy hand-clapping. All
day Saturday bright orange AS were
very much in evidence in the down
town streets. 1t was hard matter
for the boys to keep their coats but
toned even if it was cold day. Al
though the letters were awarded late
in the year. still they are none the
less appreciated.

Manager Of the Little Giant Hay
Press Co., Takes Trip
BUSINESS INCREASING RAPIDLY
Mr.. StOpDle Finds Business Conditions
Throughout the East Very Encouraging

w. W. Stopple, general manager
OF the Little Giant Hay Press COM
pany, returned home last Friday after
weeks trip in the eastern states.
Mr. Stopple LETT Alma, Friday, Jan
uary 2sth, stopping first at Detroit,
where he took in the automobile
show which was being held there at
that time. Leaving Detroit, he spent
Saturday and Sunday in Wilkes
barre, Pennsylvania. At this place
contracts were closed for the agency
OF the Little Giant presses in terri
tory including Philadelphia and New
York city
One day was spent at Philadelphia
and then the trip continued TO Wash
ington. Here several days were
spent in the patent offices of the
government on work in connection
with new ideas OF Mr.. Stopple, the
details of which will be given out
later.
Mr.. Stopple reports that business
conditions all through the east seem
very encouraging, excepting perhaps
in the city OF Philadelphia, where he
found that the business men were
complaining somewhat, and even
there any dullness was due, he said,
to local conditions. In all the other
places he stopped at, he found
everything in the business line com
ing along nicely and everybody hap
py.
The prosperous situation in the
east is only similar to that in the at
fairs of the home company. The
company is already doing a big
business and that is constantly and
rapidly increasing There are at
present seven people employed in
the office to care for the clerical end
OF the business. The company con-
tributes more than any other local
concern to the support OF the post

est nights in the way of church and
lodge doings in the city for some
time The biggest crowd of the
evening assembled at the Methodist
church to hear the Southland Night
ingales present program of south
ern melodies, followed by number
of classical and popular songs The
church was crowded to the limit of
its capacity All the chairs in the
church were brought into use and
yet some had TO stand in the back
part. With all the other outside at
fractions the large attendance was
somewhat unexpected and was really
more than could be handled conven-
iently
At the Presbyterian church state
secretary of the Christian Endeavor
society OF Michigan, VIM. R. Hall,
addressed a representative audience
composed of the members of the
young peoples societies OF the Bap-
tst and Presbyterian churches, on
the endeavor work in the state, and
gave them valuable hints and inspir-
alton for their work in their home
societies. Mr.. Halls business is to
travel through the state for the bene
fit of local societies of Christian En-
deavor and he always makes good
wherever he goes. Following Mr..
Halls address a general social time
was enjoyed.
At the Baptist church Mrs. Calk-
ins gave an address to a very good
audience on the temperance question,
while at the opera house VIM. d.
McCracken, NJ A., c. s. B., of Bos-
ton, gave free lecture on Christian
Science TO a good sized assembly
Besides these church affairs there
was an assembly dance given by Mrs.
Wright. the dancing teacher. in the
Woodmen's hall, at which about 25
or 30 couples enjoyed themselves in
a series of waltzes, two-steps and
barn dances. 1t was late when this
affair broke up.
At the college all the five college
literary societies held their regular
weekly meetings. The Froebel So
ciety of the kindergarten depart
ment, elected officers for next semes-
ter. Those chosen for the honors
were:
President-Myrtle Ryan.
Vice-president-Edith Harper.
Secretary-Lena Ward.
Treasurer-Emma Bach.
About twenty school friends Of
Roy Phillips participated in a sleigh
ride given in honor of Mr.. Phillips
and his bride The merry crowd rode
to st. Louis in a hayrack and had a
supper there, returning in the even
ing. Mrs. Phillips arrived in this
city only last week, and the newly
weds arc now settled in their home
on North State street
The Odd Fellows held their regu-
lar meeting Monday night in the Odd
Fellows hall.
Besides these various places of en-
tertainment and amusement the local
vaudeville theater played to its us
ual crowd and the Free Reading
room was open as usual Plenty of
places to put in ones time last Mon
day evening.

LEGAL HOLIDAY FOR BANKS

Next Saturday, Lincoln's birthday,
will be legal holiday and for the
first time the banks will so recognize
it and close their places of business.
This is a new departure for although
the twelfth has annually been a legal
holiday the banks have been open
for business as usual This innova-
tion will be appreciated by the bank
ing forces, but coming on Saturday
as it does may work hardship upon
the farmers of the county unless they
are aware of the change.
