arranging to electrify its line from
Eckman to Bluefield, which is 81

USE THE sPLIT-LoG DRAG.

Whenever the spl't-log drag has
been used on the dirt roads it has
been pronounced the best method
yet for working them. Why don't you
farmers try it? You can make one
in two hours time and at an ex-
pense OF about 25 cents, and by
using it about two hours in each
month can keep the roads around
your farm in splendid condition. Try
it, and see how easy it is to keep
your dirt roads in good condition.

out the amazing number of 1884,
900 logs OF splendid quality and

THE LIGHT ETERNAL.
Coming to the Opera House Next
Week-Will be Presented by the
Same Company Seen Here
Last Season.

In The Light Eternal" the stir
ring spectacular drama of early Rome,
which was seen at the Opera House
last February, will return again on
Wednesday night, October IS.
Martin " Merle, the author, has
hit upon happy blend of unhappy
love and religious persecution result
ant in one of those rare dramas, or
almost melo-dramas, that appeal alike
to every class and condition of peo-
pie. Avowed theatre-goers revel in
it's intense drama, while churchmen
find much to commend in its religious
fervor. When Wilson Barrett wrote
"The Sign of the Cross" he paved the
way for other dramatists in whom
lurked a desire to portray early
Christian martyrdoms-and followers
he has had in plenty; though it has
remained for the author of THE
Light Eternal" to outdo Barrett at
his best This play combines intense
human interest with the beautiful and
subtitle sentiment of the Christian re-
ligion; the best thoughts of a bril-
liant playwright with the clever con-
ceptions of a master producer; the
players have caught the spirit of the
theme, and every person in the cast
harks back to the strife of paganism
and the glories of new faith with a
sincerity and conviction that engulfs
the audience in the intricate meshes
of the play Added to the evident
sincerity and unquestioned dramatic
worth there is in "The Light Eter-
nal' glitter and splendor of pro-
duction possible only in presentations
of that period When seen in Alma
last season "The Light Eternal was
pronounced the best play ever offered
on the local stage.

CHURCH NOTES.

AT the communion service last
Sunday morning the pastor an
nounced a plan for establishing a
Sunday school in the east end of
Alma; in that neighborhood COM
monty known as "The Heights" The
call for volunteers for the work met
with such hearty response that there
seems every reason TO believe that
the first session of the new school
will be held next Sunday afternoon.
For the present a dwelling house will
be rented and suitably furnished.
Prof f. n Notes.-The will act as su-
perintendent for the present. This
school will minister to a community

who do not now attend any church

STATE CONVENTION
Important Event TO Be Held In Grand
Rapids This Month
MANUAL TRAINING EXHIBITION
Ida N. Tarbell To Address National Vocation
Guidance Association

Michigan is to have the honor of
entertaining two important conven-
tions during the week commencing
October 10Th. The first of these is
the National Vocational Guidance
Association, which meets to complete
its organization, and the second is the
National Society for the Promotion
OF Industrial Education which has
been in existence for several years,
but has never before met in Michi-
gan. Both Of these conventions will
be held in Grand Rapids On Sun
day, October 10Th, twenty or more
OF the pulpits of the Grand Rapids
churches will be filed with eminent
men and women identified with voca-
tional education On Tuesday after
noon. the 21st, the National Voca-
tional Guidance Association will hold
its meeting and the National Society
for the Promotion of Industrial Edu-
cation will begin its session on the
afternoon Of Thursday, October 23rd.
The president of this latter associa-
tion is Hon, VIM. c. Redheld, Secre-
tray of Commerce, and he is to be
one Of the speakers at the session to
be held on Thursday evening, as will
also be Gov Woodbridge n Ferris,
who has an established reputation as
successful teacher along practical
vocational lines. The other speaker
of that evening is to be Laura Drake
Gill, of the University of the South,
said to be one of the most effective
speakers in this country. The con-
vcntions will bring together Meyer
Bloomfield, of Boston, prominent in
the vocational guidance work; Ida NJ.
Tarbell, best known as the author of
the history of the Standard OIL B.
+. Harris, chairman of the committee
of the American Bankers Associa-
ton, on Agricultural and Vocational
Education; Owen K. Lovejoy, secre-
tary of National Child Labor Com
mittee; w. Stanwood Field, director
of Evening and Continuation schools,
Boston, and number of other prom
inent educators from all over the
country. Michigan has not made as
much progress in industrial educa-
ton as the neighboring states of Wis
consin, Indiana and Ohio, and it is
believed that these conventions will
have much to do with stimulating an
interest in this branch of education.
Aside from the cities of Muskegon
and Saginaw, where wealthy men
have made liberal donations for the
establishment of trade schools. and in
Grand Rapids and Detroit, little as
yet has been done TO establish voca-
tional schools for both boys and girls
throughout Michigan. There will be
an elaborate exhibition of products
of the manual training and industrial
schools throughout the United States
and the United States government
will send a very large exhibit Of prod
ucts of the industrial schools of the
Philippine Islands, including lace and
embroideries. Parties who expect to
attend these conventions should make
application TO Lee IT, Bierce, Secre-
tary Committee of Arrangements,
