ATTENTION READERS

Commencing Monday, August lst,
Miller Bros, the grocers, will open their
store at 600 o'clock a. III. sharp, and
continue open until $50 p. m., which
hour the store will close. The only ex.
ception to the above will be Saturday
evenings at which time the store will
remain open as late as necessary to ac-
comod ate the trade.
This means we work 121s hours FIVE
days in the week and as many as neces.
sary Saturday. We believe our traders
realize that it is unnecessary to keep
open fifteen to eighteen hours per day.
Yours for business,

LINDLEY is HONORED.

Adelbert Lindley of Lupton, Michi-
gan, member of the graduating class
of 1911 of Alma college has been
highly honored in being awarded a
scholarship in Columbia University
Scholarships in that institution are
exceedingly rare and much valued
While but four scholarships of the
nature OF that received by Mr.. Lind
ley were offered there were about
one thousand applications. From this
alone it can be seen that the Alma
graduate was very fortunate in re-
ceiving it. However, he deserves it
as his standings in his studies while
at Alma have been top-notch while
at the same time he has carried a
great deal of extra work, being on
tests, and the staff of the college
paper, and has always been very act
i've in Y. NJ c. A. work In addition
to this he has supported himself all
the time he was attending the college
Lindley is without doubt one of the
most capable and energetic men AL
ma has ever had the pleasure Of hav-
ing. He goes to Columbia next year
to study law
The awarding of the scholarship
is of honor not only to Mr.. Lindley
but to the institution which has grad
uated him. The determination that
he should be the recipient was made
largely because of his good record
here and the high standing of former
graduates OF Alma who have taken
work in Columbia. The college fac
ulty may we'll feel proud of the show
ing made by students they have in
structed.

AUTOMOBILE LANS
City Marshall Wright After ViOlaterS
of Law
SOME APT TO MEET TROUBLE
Lights Must Be Lighted and Speed Limit Con-
formed TO

City Marshal John Wright has had
numerous complaints lately on ac-
count of the violation of the laws
concerning the regulation of motor
vehicles. The state laws affecting the
ordinary driver OF vehicles are in
brief as follows:
Lights shall be displayed during
the period from one hour after sum
set to one hour before sunrise.
A driver of motor vehicle shall
upon request or signal (made by
raising OF a hand by the driver OF a
horse) stop his machine and allow
the horse to pass.
When passing vehicles coming
from the opposite direction, the driver
shall pass them on the right; when
going in the same direction, he shall
pass them on the left.
The speed limit is never above
twenty-five miles an hour; and with
in the corporate limits of cities and
villages it is ten miles an hour in the
business portions and fifteen miles
an hour in all other portions. Upon
approaching corners, bridges, curves,
and so forth, the driver shall have the
machine under control and operate
it at a speed that is reasonable and
proper having regard to the traffic
then on the highway.
Upon approaching a person or rig
the driver of the motor vehicle shall
slow down TO ten miles an hoM and
give reasonable warning of his ap-
proach.
The penalties for violation of these

PRAYER of a Horse

By direction of Acting Police
Commissioner Bugher, there has
has been posted in every stable
where police horses are kept a
card bearing a copy of The Pray
er of a Horse" This is it:
ITO Thee, my Master / offer
my prayer:
Feed me. water and care for
me, and the days work is done,
provide me with shelter, clean,
dry bed and stall wide enough
for me to lie down in with COM
fort. Talk to me. Your voice
often means as much to me
as the reins. Pet me some
times, that | may serve you the
more gladly and learn to love
you.
DO not jerk the reins and do
not whip me when going up hill.
Never strike, beat or kick me
when / do not understand what
you mean, but give me a chance
to understand you. Watch me,
and if fail to do your bidding
see if something is not wrong with
my harness or feet.
Examine my teeth when j do
not eat. ! may have an liberated
tooth and that, you know, is very
painful. Do not tie my head in
an unnatural position or take away
my best defence against flies and
mosquitoes by cutting off my tail.
And. finally. oh, my master,
when my useful strength is gone,
do not turn me out to starve or
freeze or sell me TO some cruel
owner to be slowly tortured and
starved to death. but do thou my
master, take my lie in the kindest
way and your God will reward
you here and hereafter.
you may not consider me ire
weren't if / ask this in the name of
Him who was born in the stable.
Amen"
The acting commissioner found
the prayer in Pittsburg recently
and it struck him so forcibly, that
he obtained copy and arranged
to have it reproduced for the pol
ice department. He thinks 1t will
serve to obtain better treatment of
the horses by men who sometimes
lose their temper and abuse them.

NOT A SCIENCE.

Hypnotism is not a science. 1t
never has accomplished any good in
the world, and public exhibitions such
as this town is being subjected to
now have a demoralizing effect upon
any community.
For any human being, man or wo-
man, to be exposed to public view in
a public shop window for three and
four hours and gazed upon by hundreds
OF the morbidly curious that compose
the large portion of any community,
certainly does not tend to heighten the
moral standing of that community, OF
advance its standard along scientific
lines.
Some few years ago these hypnotic
exhibitions were given here, and the
bad effect was far-reaching. There
is nothing in hypnotism so far as has
been demonstrated by the most adj
yaneed scholars and learned scientists.
but if it must be practiced and ex-
hibited. Our people would do well to
protest against public demonstrations
and compel the Professors" and ex-
hibitors to confne their marvellous and
extraordinary powey and talents
inside some hall or theatre. not on
public streets and to open view.
When people are compelled to pay
to see a thing, fewer of them will
see it. What is free reaches class
under whose demoralizing influence
these things come with unreasonable
force and after effect.

MARYLAND.

There is a tide in the affairs of
men," ct cetera. United States Sen
ator Rayner and State Senator Lee,
of Maryland did not take their latest
tide at the flood. Indeed, they did
not take ii at all. Whether they will
be shoaled as the result is a question.
At the outset of the campaign be-
tween Mr.. Lee and Mr.. German for the
Democratic nomination for Governor,
Mr.. Rayner signifed support of the
former. There were two reasons Tor
his attitude. First was the super
iority of Mr.. Lee over his opponent,
and the second was the consideration
of self-preservation. Mr.. Rayner
knew that Mr.. German was getting
into position to try for his seat in
the Senate.
But the Senator's health, or his
nerve, or both, failed him. He did
not take part in the campaign. An
important engagement to address
large meeting in Baltimore in Mr..
Lees behalf was Cancelled, and Mr.
Rayner went to bed. His eloquent
voice was not heard there or else
where during the controversy.
Mr.. Lee conducted an excellent cam
paign. upon high ground, and lost to
his opponent by only one vote in the
convention. He had been advised of
the skulduggery that had been prac-
ticed in Baltimore at the primary, and
some of his friends thought he should
demand an investigation, not only in
his own interest, but in those of the
party's good name. But he refused,
Bitter as it was. he took his medi-
cine, declared promptly for the nomi-
nee, and asked his friends to support
the ticket.
As now seems likely, few stirring
speeches by Mr.. Rayner, who is most
effective stumper, would have carried
Mr.. Lee to victory. Mr.. Germans
aspirations, first to be Governor and |
then Senator. would have been de-
feated, and Mr.. Rayner's path to a re-
nomination been unopposed. In Mr..
Lees case, had he challenged what |
was plainy wrong, and insisted on a /
clean bill Of health for the democracy. |
he would have served the cause of !
honesty at the polls, and the strength |
ened his hold on the people of the |
State. What he might and should have
done was left to an inconspicuous man
in Baltimore to do.
If, as the result Of the exposure Of /
the primary frauds in Baltimore, and
elsewhere 3 new order within the
Democratic party of Maryland is es-
tablished, neither Mr.. Rayner nor Mr..
Lee will share much in the credit.
They missed their chance-the former
by dropping out of the fight while it
was at the hottest, and the latter by
bowling to a performance whose integ-
rity then stood impeached in the news
pers by Democrats of the best stand
ing. The old order deserves to go.
1t repeats too brazenly the capers Of
3 gang which for many years made
the Baltimore machine almost as wide
