Since coming to Alma, July 9Th,
1911, l have been greatly impressed
with this little city; the amount of
building and improvements, the pub
lie spirit, push and energy of its cit
izens. / doubt much if there is an
other city in Michigan that can show
so great a percentage of improve
ment in the last eighteen months as
can Alma, but more particularly |

been treated all the time with that

PATRONIZE YOUR HOME MER-
CHANT AND SAVE MONEY.

Under the Parcels Post law which
becomes effective January 1st, the
farmer can buy goods by telephone
from his home merchant cheaper
than he can of a mail order house,
because it will cost him less money
to have any package up to eleven
pounds weight delivered from his
home town than it would if he bought
of a firm outside of a radius of thirty
miles. For instance, a Seville, Pine
River, Bethany, Sumner, Arcadia or
Emerson township farmer can order
a package weighing ten pounds of an
Alma merchant and have same de-
livered at his door for ii cents;
vheI cas-, if he ordered the same pack
age from Chicago the postal charges
would be SO cents, and there is no
question but what the consumer pays
the freight" no matter at what place
or for what price he buys the goods.

IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Detroit News Correspondent Tells OF
University Of La Plata

The Detroit News Tribune of Sun
day, December 18th, contained a
lengthy article on the affiliation OF
the University of Michigan and the
University of La Plata in South Am
erica in a cooperative plan for scien-
tifc astronomical research The plan
was adopted because of the desire OF
both universities 10 have the services
of Prof. Hussey who is recognized
as perhaps the leading astronomical
authority of the world, but who is a
Michigan man, loyal to his native
state, yet who realized the larger
opportunities which would come to
him if he could study the heavens
from both hemispheres and conse-
quently made such arrangements, di-
viding his time between the two great
universities. To help him in his work
in South America he has his wife, an
able assistant, Bernhard Dawson, a
young man from Muskogee, Okla
homa, but for the past two years
student at Ann Arbor and our own
fellow townsman Paul T. Delevan and
his wife.
The Tribune speaking very highly
OF the work done by the Michigan
people and in referring to Mr.. Dele
van in particular says:
Paul T. Delevan, another man OF
the staff who graduated in June from
the civil engineering department of
the university specializing in astron-
omy, has previously spent year and
a half in South America with an as
Economical expedition which prac tic
ally aided in his splendid qualification
for the work Mr. Delevan was an
exceptional student, and his affilia-
ton with the staff strengthens its
status as we'll as pays homage to
him"
That Mrs. Delevan, who accom-
panied her husband as a bride, is
happy and we'll pleased with her
home 5000 miles from Michigan, is
evident from the following:
But it is all so beautiful" writes
Mrs. Delevan to the home people in
Ann Arbor "All the Michigan con-
tingency are living on the grounds in
the directors residence, and dine in
the open court. The observatory is
a half mile from the town and the
walk is down an avenue of eucalyp-
tus trees, now heavy with white
bloom. We are delighted with the
country, and the buildings, which
have such external grandeur and dig
nifty. Patterned after Paris, there is
an external harmony and beauty that

cells the world.
There is a band concert nearly
