FOURTH OE JULY
 CELEBRATION AT SULZER
Contributed

The Fourth of July Celebra- ton at Sulzer was, an event to be remembered by every one present. It was a success from the beginning to. the end. Everybody entered heartily in- to the spirit of the occasion and without any friction on the part of any one throughout the day. made it possible for all ao realize that the Fourth of July has a real meaning to the American people. Congratu- lations to the program commit tee for the excellent program and for the manner i'll which it was conducted. Every part of the program was interesting and calculated to lnSplre en- thusiam for each contestant to show the very best skill pos sible to win the very valuable prizes offered. We wish al so to thank the good ladies for preparing such an excellent luncheon and elaborate din- ner. Every one had plenty to eat and all seemed to have good apitites.
 At 500 pm, at the Town Hall the celebrated Dark-Town minstrels gave their grand minstral show which was the climax of the whole days pro- gram. Too much cannot be said about this Grand Minstral Show. It was one of the best the writer has ever seen. The

mystery to me is, how these men, who have never lived near the black man had the ability to initiate the darky so we'll. c. A. Sulzer certainly made a very handsome negro, Scotty Smith should have been born black and gone on the stage. He could soon make a fortune playing the black man. L. Short with his musical talent should put into practice his ability to initiate the black man and win for himself a world wide name. Harry Sel- lers makes good looking greasy negro very natural. Gus Copstead with his ability to play the aceordian could black his face, travel in the States and soon make a fortune. J. D. Wynne who was interlocter did his part with excellent manner. James Nakajima fil- led his plaeewell and gave an excellent violin selection. Mir. Myers can't deny his having lived among colored people, Charles Jacobson looked more like a real negro than any of the company. H. R. Raffleson showed quite a talent to lead in all the vocal music. A. J. Sander can't be beaten for a coon. If you missed these minstrals you have missed seeing the best one 1 have ever seen and I have been reared in the South. the home of the

BRIGHT PROSPECTS

The prospects for prosperous sea-
son were never brighter for Alma than
at the present time. The coming of
two new manufacturing institutions to
our city is practically assured, the Gas
Company have plans perfected to COM
mence work laying mains early in the
spring, the erection of a modern hos
pital building at the Masonic home the
paving of State St, the large amount
OF sidewalk work to he done in addition
to the new residences contemplated and
the many improvements of public and
private property that always come with
the spring months makes the outlook
for 1914 especially bright to the citizen
OF Alma.
The bringing about of these pros
pective good times is the result OF the
hustle of few of Alma's citizens. What
could be accomplished if every citizen
Of Alma would put their shoulder to
the wheel and push can only be imagined.
The Record does not like to find fault
with as progressive and energetic a
bunch of citizens as reside within our
corporate limit, but it is certainly
shame when a meeting of the Board OF
Trade with its 100 members is advertised
for two weeks in advance to find less
than a quorum present when time to
call the meeting to order arrived. That
was the the condition Tuesday evening,
Feb. "a. After the adjournment of the
City Council, enough members of that
body arrived to make quorum and per-
NIT the business of the evening to pro-
ceed. In unity there is strength, and in
stead of quorum of Is men electing
the officers, listening to reports and tran
sacting the business incident to the An
nual meeting of the organization, 100 or
more should have been there to lend
their presence and aid to the work of an
organization that was organized to build
up and promote the welfare of our cit
izens generally.

THE SCHOOL AND THE
CITY.

Did you ever stop to consider that, If
it were not for the city and its money,
there would be no school and tn if it
were not for the school and its teach
ings, there would be less progressive,
a less productive city? And what does
this signify? In a few words, it signi-
hes that one is necessary to the other ;
that the school needs the city, and the
city needs the school. If it were not
for the city, we would not at present
have our beautiful High School Build
ing, which is open to all, for all manner
of purposes, from political banquets to
weekly "volley ball." for the business
men. If it were not for the school, we
would have fewer educated citizens, few
er intelligent, ambitious boys and girls
who are just as ready to help the city
after they graduate, as the city was to
help them before.
Mutual helpfulness, harmony and good
feeling between tie citizens of Alma
and the students of our High School is
what we are striving to obtain. If we
can obtain this to its fullest extent, then
we will have raised to a maximum all
the advantages mentioned above.
AT present, there is an effort on foot,
in which the High School is taking the
initiative to get acquainted" This is
being done by inviting different citizens
of Alma to address the school; to give
practical talks from business or pro-
fessional point of view, outlining the
advantages and disadvantages of this or
that vocation in life You are likely to
be called upon to do your share in this
work, because, if you are one of those
citizens who helped to build our High

Tubbs Bros Talk On Pure
Milk.

To those interested in pure milk.
Tubbs Bros. have this to say in this
weeks issue of the Record relative to
clean milk from healthy Holstein cows
which they purpose offering for sale
in Alma soon.
Cleanliness is now recognized as the
Safety First" guard of the human fam
lily. Where 1000 people are grouped with
in the boundaries of mile square,
greater precautions are necessary than
when only few families occupied the
square mile, hence sewage disposal clean
yards and out-buildings are constant
necessity. We hear much nowadays
relative to pure food and as milk is very
largely used as food in, its raw state,
that is without heating or other sterili-
zation, it has attracted the attention of
physicians and scientists as perhaps no
other article of food. AS a consequence
of this investigation, there has sprung
UP an insistent demand that milk from
cows that are known to be free from tu-
berculosis, disease that is most preva-
lent among dairy cows, and that are
kept in clean quarters where sunlight
and good ventilation assist in warding
off disease germs, is the only milk that
can be said to be pure.
Antequated methods, dark under
ground, ill-smelling poorly ventilated
stables are not tolerated in the produc-
ton of pure milk Three things are
absolutely essential. A healthy COW,
clean stable, and strictly sanitary hand
ling Milk cows like the human fam
lily, can only be kept healthy by being
housed in strictly sanitary quarters where
they are kept clean. When one stops
to copsider the amount of disease germs
that may be carried by one particle of
barn refuse into pail of milk. or that
it has been determined that one ordinary
hair from cows body will carry l00.-
600 germs, the cleanliness of the sur
roundings of the dairy herd becomes at
once paramount. A very recent demon
stration OF this point was made at the
Prize Milk Contest, held in Grand Rap
ids. in connection with the Annual Meet

LESS DYSPEPSIA NOW
HERES THE REASON

The fact that there is less dyspepsia
and indigestion in this community than
there used to be is largely, we believe,
due to the extensive use of Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets, hundreds of packages
of which we have sold No wonder
we have faith in them. No wonder we
are willing to offer them to you for
trial entirely at our risk.
Among other things, they contain Pep
sin and Bismuth, two of the greatest
digestive aids known to medical science.
They soothe the inhamed stomach, allay

a cut of the interior of our dairy barn
in next weeks issue We also want to
take up the question of the quality of
milk in next weeks issue. We have Sc
cured the services of Arthur Rowland

lege, has been one year with Mcpherson

ing of the State Dairy Mems Associa-
ton, when the winning sample con-
tained only 1900 bacteria per cubic cent?
meter. This is remarkable when it is
known that milk is not condemned until
it is found to contain more than 200
600 bacteria per cubic centimeter. In
spection by non-partisan board offers
the only solution to the problem of clean
milk. Our equipment is coming for
