opens SCHOOL I'M DGRANDE RAPIDS,

The following paragraphs taken
from the Grand Rapids Herald of
last Sunday will be of considerable
interest to Alma people, as Mr..
Churchill during the past two years
had charge of the Commercial de-
partment of Alma college: George
T. Churchill has opened a new train
ing school in shorthand and type
writing in Powers Theatre building.
Mr.. Churchill has had a wide ex-
perience in his chosen line of work
and has been associated with some
of the largest and best business
training schools in the middle west.
The school is we'll equipped with
typewriters and adding machines and
the aim of the proprietor is to avoid
overcrowdng in his school, using
care in selecting his pupils so that
when they have completed the course
they are thoroughly proficient and
able to command better salaries than
the average stenographer usually re-
ceives at the start"

Atty.-Gen. Kuhn Says Present Town
ship and School Officers Are Barred
FROM INCREASE IN SALARIES
People Must Approve Provision Was Made
For Submitting Proposition to Voters

A Lansing dispatch of recent date
said: County school commissioners
and township officials who expected
to secure increases of salary under
the laws passed by the last legisla-
ture, are barred from a raise in their
stipend by opinions which Attorney
General Kuhn handed down.
Relative to the act which author
lied township officers to raise their
own salaries, in case the people ap-
prove, the attorney-general states
that the law does not contain any
provision for submitting the question
to a vote of the people, and this lack
of election machinery is fatal, as
there is no general statute governing
the submission of such questions.
In response to a question from st.
Clair county, the department holds
that school commissioners elected last
spring and taking office July 1, can
not secure an increase in salary under
the law providing for graded salaries
for these officials according to the
number of schools in their respective
counties. 1t is pointed out that the
law did not take effect until Aug. l.
a month after they went into office
and the constitution bars any increase
or decrease of salary of an officer
after he has been appointed or elected
to an office"

SUGAR GOES SKYNARD
Prices Higher Than in Many Years
Retailed at lOC a Pound In Detroit
FACTORIES OPEN IN OCTOBER
Rival RefinerS Seek TO Crush One Another and
the Consumer Is the Goat, as Usual

In speaking of the high price of
sugar and the cause leading to the
sharp advance, a New York dispatch
of September IA said: with 250,000
tons Of raw sugar now af1oat on its
way TO this country from Hawaii and
Java, with more sugar in sight in the
world than there was at this time last
year, even taking into consideration
promised shortage in the crop due to
the drought in the beet sugar districts
of Germany, the Arbuckle and Amer
lean and European sugar rehners have
a corner on the sugar market and
have jumped the price from AGO cents
a pound-the low mark last February
to cents, with every prospect that
it will go higher.
The advance is purely due, big
sugar brokers say, to speculation, and
there is no legitimate reason why
sugar should be any higher now than
it was last February.
The price of 7 cents is the highest
in twenty-five years. The German
beet sugar situation is regarded as
the foundation for the speculation, as
reports of immense injury to the
crop there have helped along the con-
dition which now exists
Just at the present moment the
Arbuckle company holds the whip
hand and is demanding cents a
pound, while the American Sugar Re-
fning Company is filling orders at
6.75 cents. A peculiar combination
Of circumstances is partly responsible
for the situation.
In June last the Arbuckle refinery
in Brooklyn was destroyed by fire.
Ordinarily such a loss would have
been a calamity; but it proved a
blessing in disguise to the Arbuckles.
They were loaded up with raw sugar.
Their refinery was out Of commission
as a result of the fire all of June
and July and a good part of August.
They were unable to do any refining
and consequently had this immense
stock Of cheap raw sugar left on their
hands.
The Arbuckle trade, unable to get
its supply from that concern, turned
to the American, and that conc cern
was swamped with orders. 1t used
up its immense supply of cheap, raw
sugar supplying the Arbuckle trade.
The advance in price had started
Feb. IS last, when the low water
mark was 4.6Oc, April 1s it moved up
to 4Oc. After that the price fuctu-
ated back and forth, once going as
low as 4.s5c on June l.
June there was a general advance
to cents June 25, following the
Arbuckle fire, that company advanced
the price to $40 cents. Aug. 0 it was
SOS cents and that date the American
Refining Company was booking
orders for three weeks delivery at
SIS cents. Since Aug. the price
has moved up almost daily.
About Sept 25 the first of the
Hawaiian shipments will begin to
arrive and within the next month the
entire shipments from Hawaii and
Java will be Jumped into the three
big Atlantic ports, New York, Phila-
delphia and Boston. There is about
225,0OO tons of this raw sugar That
means thirty days supply for the
whole United States"

conceded that the emigration might
be due to commercial conditions.
The report was not based upon the

Active preparations are being made
