PRACTICAL FARMING.
Two Year Course at M. A. c. Opens
November 3.

The Two Year Course in Practical
Agriculture offered at the Michigan

lar one. Numerous inquiries are be-

Perfected and Patented by a Former
Alma Boy

The Michigan Contractor and
Builder, published in Detroit had the
following to say of an invention re-
Gently patented by Earl Porter. son
of Mr.. and Mrs. g. B. Porter. of this
city:
"G Earl Porter, of the Admiral
Motor Company, of St. Louis, has
perfected and patented new inven-
ton which promises to fill real need
in the economy Of the railway loco
motive. Everyone has observed the
little window directly in front OF the
engineer, through which he obtains a
view of the track ahead, and has won
dered how he managed to do SO
when the window is covered with
sleet or rain. The usual method in
such cases is to swing the window
out at the bottom so the engineer can
see through the opening beneath it,
and he gets strong draft of cold air
full in the face at the same time. Mr..
Porter's invention is a windshield de-
signed to do away with this very un-
PHEASANT lCdtulS & II 10 81 COlloll uSl-
ed that when the window is raised a
few inches, a curved surface beneath
on the outside carries the air pressure
upward past the opening instead OF
through it into the cab. Mr.. Porter
has submitted his invention to the
Michigan Central car shop managers
at Jackson, who have regarded il
with much favor.

THE LYCEUN-- COURSE

Many of our readers have doubt

vertising book issued in the interest
of the local Lyceum course. Pos
sibly it is not really necessary to urge
our community to support it for such
has grown to be our habit 1t is a
pleasure, however, to commend the
numbers of the course singly and as
a whole for their high quality and
adaptability to the requirements of
our people. We want good things
and will not remain satisfied with the
inferior; and certainly the present
series of entertainments bid fair to
equal all reasonable expectations.
Many of the patrons of the course
have already handed in their sub
scriptions. An easy way is to phone
to any of the banks or drug stores,
or to Prof J. T. Ewing, for reserva-
ton of tickets. DO IT TODAY, and
thus assure your securing the covet-
ed pasteboards.
Beginning with next Monday. Oct.
20, advance subscriptions become due
and are payable at either bank or at
any of the drug stores, in advance of
the general sale, which begins Mon
day, Oct. 81. The first drawing for
reserved seats begins on Monday,

ALMA a, Bay CITY D
Alma High School Too Strong For the
Bay City Bunch
MT. PLEASANT TO Be NEXT
II Team Keeps Up Present Hustle II Will Have
Clean Sweep at End Of Season

Although it was windy day, a
good crowd assembled at Davis Field
Saturday afternoon to witness the
Bay City Western and Alma High
game, which proved to be walk
away for the locals.
Bay City received and defended the
west goal The ball was caught on
Bay City's 25-yard line where the
receiver was thrown in his tracks.
After a series of fine plays by the
visitors the ball fell to Alma on her
own 4O-yard line. Alma fumbled and
the ball was recovered by Bay City.
Again the visitors charged, but with
little avail. They made no gain and
the ball went over. Again Alma fun
bled but recovered; the result being
that no score was credited the first
quarter.
In the next quarter things took on
a different attitude. Alma advanced
the ball to their opponents 5-yard
line where, because of downs, the ball
went over. The visitors undertook
to punt but fumbled and Dutt fell on
the ball behind the goal giving Alma
her first touchdown Handley kicked
goal.
Alma received and advanced the
ball to its own 4O-yard line where it
was put into scrimmage. With two
end runs and forward pass, which
netted fifteen yards, the ball was car
ried to the 20-yard line of the op-
ponents' goal Handley carried the
ball through the line for a touch
down. Again goal was kicked.
Alma received again and returned
the ball to the 25-yard line. One
play brought the pill five yards near
er when Handley broke loose for the
entire remaining distance for the
third touchdown, and kicked goal.
Thus the half ended.
lntermission of fifteen minutes be-
tween the halves followed
The locals again received but the
visitors came back unusually strong
and held Alma for downs in the CEN
ter of the field. Bay City put up
some very spectacular work at this
time, but were unable to battle the
locals defense. Alma came in pos
session of the ball and advanced to
Bay City's 25-yard line where Bang
hart carried the ball for the fourth
touchdown. Stoddard failed to kick
goal.
Again Alma received the ball it
being carried by Jessup to the center
of the field. a series of line bucks
brought the ball to 2O-yard line where
two more plays by Jessup and Dutt
advanced it to the j-yard line. Hodge
here carried it over for a touchdown.
Handley again kicked goal. The
score, $40 the locals favor, the game
ended
With the exception of few min
utes in the first quarter, as good a
line of football was played by the
locals as has been seen this year.
Handley scored the most points for
Alma, but it took the honest work of
ten other Alma men to make such a
victory possible.
Muscat played a strong offensice
game at center while Jessup and
Banghart starred on defense. With
some more good earnest work this
week they ought to bring the Mt
Pleasant team into camp next Sat-
urday.
