COUNTY REMAINS DRY.
Vote Was Somewhat Smaller and the
Majority is Less.

Montcalm county will remain dry
for another two years, the election
last Monday giving a dry majority
Of 144.
The vote on local option in this
county was something of a surprise
to both the drys and vets. The drys
expected to increase their majority
over two years ago and the vets
hoped to win by getting out their full
vote. The dry vote two years ago
was 3,774 and the wet 3,242. Last
Monday the dry vote was $3.50 or
335 less than two years ago, while
the wet vote was 3,195 or only AZ less
than two years ago. These figures
show conclusively that the vets got
out their full vote while the drys fail
ed to do so, and that the sentiment
in the county remains about the same
as it was two years ago.-Stanton

CLEANUP DAY COMING
Thursday and Friday, April "a
and 70.
LET EVERYBODY GET BUSY
And Assist in Making Alma the CleansSt little
City in Michigan

The ladies Of the Civic Improve
ment League have designated Thurs
day and Friday, April oath and 25th
as clean up days. Teams will be pro-
vided and all refuse placed in streets
and alleys at that time will be re-
moved. A glimpse of the alleys not
only in the residence portion of the
city but in the business section as
we'll show the need OF this work. In
speaking of cleanup day the Owosso
Times of last week said in part:
During the winter it was easier
TO dump the ashes in the alley than
10 cart them away. The pile of ashes
is not thing of beauty. Take it
away. The sooner it is taken away
the sooner will an unpleasant duty
be out of the way. During the win
ter it is easy to toss the discards OF
life into the back yard and the snow
charitably covers them from view.
Spring reveals them and strewn
around they are not joys to the or
derly soul nor sources OF happiness.
Clean them up early and have them
out of the way. During the winter
rubbish gathers in the corners and in
the cellars, under the counters and
in the cutters in the street outside.
Get after it with broom and mop
and hoe, if necessary, and put 1t
from view as early as possible. The
windows may have been neglected,
during the cold weather and dust may
have gathered on the shelves-right
now is the time to clean up. Clean
illness and neatness are business
assets"
Alma has the reputation of being
the busiest little city in Michigan.
Let us all pull together and by rid
ding our alleys, yards and streets OF
the winter accumulations of filth and
debris make t the cleanest city in the
state.

matter of history, the last session of
the conference being held in the
school house auditorium last Sunday
evening. Last week, Friday, the
bunch began coming and every train
from the east, west, north and south
brought its quota of enthusiastic
young men bent on a good time. An
interesting program of events had
been prepared by the committee. The
first number of which was the ban
quet planned for Friday evening IN
the High school gymnasium. Six
tables running the length OF the
room accommodated the 34S boys,
while at table placed across the end
of the room were seated the officers
of the association and the speakers
of the evening.
1t required the combined service OF
forty-hve Alma young ladies to serve
the group and their part OF the pro-
gram was accomplished in manner
that kept every boy busy for the hour
or more they spent at the table.
Following the feast, the boys ad-
iusted their chairs so as to secure
good view of the speakers table, and
listened to the report of the nomin-
ating committee, which was as fol-
lows:
President. r. Whitney, ST

item of interest to Our citizens
"Mr. and Mrs. w. A. Tuttle, of
Alma, Mich, who have been season
guests at the Osborne, Orange ave-
nue., departed Tuesday morning on
their return north, stopping enroute
at Jacksonville, Atlanta, Chattanoo-

was quite i'll during the first month
here, but has steadily improved and
goes home feeling very well indeed
They greatly enjoyed their stay in
Daytona and at the Osborne and
very much regretted leaving, but
hope to return next winter. Before
departing Mr.. Tuttle subscribed for
the Gazette-News to keep them in
touch with happenings in Daytona
and vicinity. Like many other visi-
tors they are enthusiastic over the
natural beauty of Daytona. They say
they shall miss the singing of the
mocking birds, the sound of the surf
on the ocean beach and the delight
ful music of the Saracina band"
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Tuttle will be glad to welcome them
back to their old home.

COMMUNICATION.

Alma, Mich, April 12, 1913.
If set of men should 90 down 70
Washington and advocate that il
would be for the benefit OF the United
States as a whole to make laws which
would compel our people to buy all
of their flour from other countries.
how long do you suppose they would
be retained in office and how manv
OF our farmers, laborers, or others of
our citizens could they make believe
such teachings? You say, This is
absurd to talk this way and no such
thing was ever done or ever will be
done" But hold on a minute before
you pass too hasty opinions. This
very identical thing is trying to be
done by our president and some of
the leading men we have sent to
Washington to make our laws, only
1t is being done with another COM
modify besides flour and that COM
modify is Standard Granulated Sugar.
which is just as essential to the well
fare, comfort and being of every man.
woman, child and babe of this vast
NCOiiliy y Oh ours as hour.
We all know that it would be utter
~ impossible to talk about us living
and enjoying the comforts of life TO
Danish flour from our homes, and il
would be equally absurd and uncom-
Portable to Danish sugar from our
homes; in fact, the two articles COM
bined constitute the larger part of
Our living and they especially enter
into all the best life sustaining and
delicacies of foods, and it is lust as
absurd and unreasonable for our law
makers to legislate in any way which
deprives us of producing one of these
two articles upon Our farms as the
other. 1t seems to me there is no
practical sound argument against this
question.
From the best obtainable statistics
from the United States Department
OF Agriculture, it takes $40 bushels
OF wheat per capita to furnish our
hour which we consume yearly.
Now, taking the average price of
wheat per bushel for the last ten
years and the average price of sugar
per pound for the same time, you
will find that the dollars worth of
Hour consumed per capita would buy
each one of us 90 pounds of sugar
every year, which is just a trifle more
than Our present consumption per
capita.
Now, dear reader, if you don't be-
lieve these statements are correct.
just send to Washington and procure
the United States Crop Reporter for
March, 1913, and make figures your-
self and see if you don't arrive n
just about the same conclusion az
have.
we certainly conclude that il would
be a great drain from our resources
