ALMA /. :. DEFEATED
AT Foot Ball by St. Louis, Friday, for
First Time In Many Years

Alma high school suffered defeat
at the hands of St. Louis high school
last Friday afternoon at Davis Field
for the first time in many years at
football St. Louis with their great
weight rolled up thitty-three points
in four twelve-minute quarters.
1t was no disgrace for Alma to
lose for the local team was made up
entirely of green material, only three
having ever participated in a football
game before. The St. Louis team
played in manner that showed much
experience on the part of the indi-
vidual players They were strongest
on their smashes off tackle and
worked the forward pass successfully
"a number Of times.
The Alma boys fought like tigers,
and though they never came near
scoring they displayed now and then
some very good offensive work. A
number of times St. Louis was in the
shadow Of the goal posts with only
a yard or two to go for touchdown
when the Alma boys would take re-
markable brace and hold them for
downs. Miner, Handley and McClin-
ton were the stars for the locals.
The game gave the new rules
try-out There appears to be very
little difference from last year other
than the ten yards to make in fouI
instead of three downs. The game
however seemed to justify the pre-
diction that there would be more
scoring this year and that the tackle:
would be the points of attack.

international reputation. At that time
no funds will be solicited for the
work, but the speakers will endcavor
to show its scope in such vivid and
interesting manner that this city will
know whether or not it wishes to
have an organization in Alma
Among the speakers for the ban
quet, which is to be held at the par
Tors of the Episcopal church, at s
o clock Wednesday evening. will be
a. +. Roberts, of New York, an in
ternational secretary who knows
more about boys and boys work than
any other man in the country. He is
man OF strong and winning person
atty. and is i'll such great demand
that he only visits this State once a
year, and then for only day or two.
At recent association banquet in
Hillsdale. 375 men turned out to hear
him, and so well did they like what
he had TO say and the way he said it
that he was given an invitation to re-
tarn for a third time.
Several others have also been in
vited to come here for the Alma ban
quet Among them is Probate Judge
Stone of Hillsdale, one of the best
after dinner speakers in southern

markable degree" said Secretary
Stanchhed, when he was in Alma
Tuesday consulting with the local
committee. 1T is countrywide
movement. just as the county is a
political unit, likewise it is strate-
gic policy to plan moral and religious
work on a county basis. Then it is
business-like movement. One OF
the first principles of modern bust
ness with its splendid efficiency, is
the elimination of waste and the
utilization of by-products. We have
discovered that the greatest waste in
| modern life is the boy waste 1t is

swinging at advantageous points high

The canaries interrupted the Rev.
Holmes sermon very little. But when
the choir and the congregation arose
to sing hymns. the feathered song

which greatly enhanced the human
praises of the Creator.
The Rev Mr.. Holmes does not know
that canaries were ever used before
at church services, but he thinks them
a great help to sincere worship. They
will be used every Sunday hereafter
