Word was received this week by
Secretary A. p. Cook to the effect
that $1,000 coming from the estate
OF the late Henry c. Patterson Of
Lapeer would be forwarded to Alma
college Immediately Mr.. Patterson
died in 1910.
Following the filing of the will af-
ter the death of Mr.. Patterson, cir
cumstances arose that warranted the
commencing proceedings to have the
will restated. Alma college, accord
ing to the first will filed, was to re-
ceive $4,000, but after the second
settlement only the amount stated
above was realized.
The plans to remodel Pioneer Hall

According to Dietz, the elder Dietz
disappeared from his home in Adrian
two weeks ago. 1t was said that
when the old man left early in the
morning he made several queer
statements relative to his not return

vicinity does not have much faith in
these remarks, thinking as he said
them to be a means of covering the

MORE MONEY
Ann ArbOr Railroad Motor Men Want
Wages Increased

An Owosso dispatch dated July II
said: "Ann Arbor railroad conduct
ors and engineers who have been
running on motor cars, have asked
the company through a grievance
committee, to pay them larger wages
for service in this, connection, than is
paid on runs by the steam trains.
The reason for the request as set
forth by the committee is that the
motor cars make many more local
stops than the steam trains and that
consequently more time is consumed
and the men on the motor runs have
to put in longer hours than those on
the steam trains.
"In the monthly pay checks recent
ly received here the men were not
paid for the motor runs and it is
understood that their compensation
will be held up until an agreement
is reached between the grievance
committee and the company of
fcials.".

BAD ELECTRIC STORM
Slight Damage Done in This Vicinity.
Southern Part OF County Hit

The worst electric storm that has
ever struck this section of the coun-
ty broke over the city last Wednes-
day evening. A wind and rain storm
acting as forerunner of the storm
in the evening, came during the af-
ternoon, lasting for fully half an
hour The wind was terrific and the
rain fell in such torrents that walk
ing was made dangerous. The main
part Of the storm reached here about
$50 o'clock and from then on until
early the following morning the hea-
vens were lit by constant lightning
Although the storm was of dan
gerous character there was very little
damage done to the city and sur
rounding country as a result. The
crops suffered little in some parts
but rain was so much needed that
what little damage was wrought was
of no consequence. In the southern
part of the county the storm was
even worse and reports reaching here
say that several barns and houses
were struck by lightning and much
damage done to crops.

the number of parcels mailed are
handled within the proposed first and
second zones, and the postmaster
general believes the increase in the
weight limit and the reduction of the
rates of postage in the first and sec
ond zones, as proposed, will beneht
greatly more than one-third of the
public; and that the producer, the
consumer and the local merchant will
profit materially by the changes. He
points out, too, that the farmers, who
were led to anticipate much benefit
from the parcel post service, will be
afforded a cheap means of transport
ing their products directly to the
consumer, and that the local mer-
chant whose trade does not justify
the employment of extensive delivery
service will be benefited as the sys-
tenn will put him in close touch with
his customers.
At the outset it was estimated that
3OO,OO0,OOO parcels would be handled
during the first year Of the operation
of the parcel post system, but it now
appears from the statistics that, in
luenced by the changes proposed to-
day, the service will be so popular
lied that the number of parcels car
ried during the ensuing twelve
months will be more than double the
original estimate.
The rate sheet, which is to be used
as a substitute for the parcel post
map will be prepared as soon as
practicable and attached to the par
eel post guide. The rate chart, to be
made for each separate postoffice,
will be worked out from the local
point of the unit in which the post
office is located. The simplicity OF
the plan, it is thought, will greatly
facilitate the handling of parcel post
matter at postoffice windows.
Under regulations recently adopted
the use of distinctive stamps no long
er is mandatory and the public now
is permitted to mail parcels with or
dinary stamps affixed

BLUE RIBBON CONTEST
To be Held In Detroit August 18th. to
10th.

From the form and speed shown
by horses at the earlier grand circuit
and Michigan meetings it is evident
that there will be exceptionally fast
time during the Blue Ribbon trots
Detroit's great midsummer races
have an advantage this year in COM
ing later, the week of August II to
l6 being set apart for the first visit
OF the famous drivers and sensation
al trotters and PAGERS to the Michi-
gan state fair grounds.
In the past the Blue Ribbon meet
ings generally have been held in
July, when the number of horses up
to their best efforts is much smaller
than a month later. Now that the
Detroit races are moved back some
weeks there will be more horses
ready to compete in the rich stakes
and purses and they will be able to
trot or pace faster than at Cleveland
or Pittsburgh.
Racing so far this year has been
unusual. Not only did the half-mie
track stables go very fast in June
and so far this month, but the grand
circuit stables are in rare shape.
When one considers that a green
trotter stepped in 2:o6M and a green
PAGER in 2:04 at Cleveland the pos
sibilities of the future are attractive.
Horses that are being brought
along for the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' and Chamber Of Commerce
stakes and other early closing events
at Detroit are showing more class
comparatively than in other years
1t looks very much as though there
will be more contests than have been
seen and that the Blue Ribbon meet
ing will be the big sporting affair of
the summer term. The track at the
state fair grounds will be in prime
shape for the fast things and time
records Of all previous Blue Ribbon
meetings will fall during the week OF
August II if the weather is at all
favorable.
Attendance at races held thus far
has been unusual, hence it is sug-
gested that those who intend coming
to Detroit to witness this annual
speed carnival make their hotel res
ervations in plenty of time.

GARDEN CLUB Of ALMA
organized With Mrs. Francis Mn q
PreSident-MuCh inter est

The Alma Garden Club, which hal
been tentatively organized during the
past few weeks, was made a perma-
nent organization at the home of
Mrs. Francis King, Monday after
noon. Mrs. King, who is the founder
OF the club, was elected president,
with Mrs. Verne Gardener elected
secretary Two honorary presidents,
Mrs. Anderson, who is one OF the
Oldest gardeners in the county, and
Mrs. Timby, one of the first to have
a flower garden in the city, were
elected. A board Of directors who
are to have complete supervision OF
the delivery and exchange OF all
seeds throughout the city was ap-
pointed. Mrs. george Moore, Mrs.
Lamb, Mrs. w. a. Bahlke, Mrs.
Ezra Smith, Mrs. Rowland, Mrs.
Charles Murphy,\ Mrs. Verne Car
dener, Mrs. King and Mrs. X. H.
Wilcox were made members OF this
body.
While the Garden club is a separate
organization its establishment is a
direct result OF the work Of the Civic
league, that has done so much DUR
ing the past few years to create a
spirit of civic pride in the city. The
real purpose Of the club is to encou-
rage among the ladies of the city and
community the keeping of flower
gardens, which in time will result in
a more beautiful city not only in a
private way but also publicly
Not enough Of commentator can
be given for the work the ladies of
this city have accomplished during
the few years that organizations of
this nature have been present in the
city. Civic pride has grown to mean
something in Alma and its influence
has been felt not only in the city,
but throughout the county and coun-
try 1t was only in a recent issue of
neighboring paper that a call was
sent forth to the ladies and also the
men of that community to follow in
the path OF our neighboring city,"
as the editor expressed in establish
ing this spirit called civic pride. The
fact that the Ladies Home Journal
recognized the good work the ladies
of this city are doing places empha-
sis on the Importance OF such efforts.
Following the business part of the
meeting light refreshments were
served.

At METHODIST CHURCH
Last Sunday Morning Rev. c. |. Wood
Delivered Able Sermon

Bishop {. L. Wood OF the United
Brethren church preached Sunday
morning in the Methodist church in
the absence of the regular pastor,
Rev. w. L, Doty, who is taking his
vacation His subject was victory,
as indicated by the text from Ro-
mans s 81. He stated that victory
was the keynote Of the gospel of
Christ. No man planned failure.
Everyone strove to succeed, but
Gods plans only were always sue
cessful. One great characteristic of
Gods successes was to succeed
and His methods are re-
vealed to us in the life and character
of Christ. Not one miracle was
failure, or even a partial success, but
each was complete unquestionable
victory accomplished with that quiet
dignity which assumes no egotism,
that power which speaks only of
living-kindness and mercy Human
resources are meager. Gods re-
sources are infinite. Christ came to
reveal the way by which mankind
may have the blessing and co-opera-
tion of infinite guidance and help If
they live for the accomplishment of
Gods plan. The greatest victory
comes through willingness to obey.

FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1913

The news from the farmers is very
encouraging, while the other indus
tries are in reverse state. Not only
are grain crops in the best condition
for years, but the area planted has
sensibly increased. 1t was larger
last year than the year before, and
again this year the acreage of such
crops as are far enough advanced to
determine the acrea is also enlarged.
The cotton area will be seven per
cent ahead of last year and the corn
area will also be enlarged. The re-
suits of this condition of area and
climatic influence is that the prices
of farm produce generally show de-
lining tendency in spite of an almost
tationary pric e for any other com
modities. But in the long run the
controlling element in the general
price making is the price of foods.
If they are made low by the eoffrts
of man and nature combined, other
things cannot long stay high, no mat.
ter what the production of gold is.
