ROBBED ALBA STORE
Grand Rapids Youth Now In

Saturday evening at supper time
Harold Fox robbed the safe in +. NJ.
Shepard's store at Alba Of nearly $40
in currency, gold watch and a revol-

Some weeks ago Fox applied to Mr..
Shepard for assistance as he was broke
and in his usual generous spirit. Frank
took the young fellow and has been
paying his board at the Tuttle House.
Saturday evening Mr.. Shepard and Ed.
Biain were in the store ard as it was
nearly supper time they left the store,
young Fox remaining to lock the place.
AS soon as Mr.. Shepard was at the
supper table, Fox sneaked back to The
store, took the money and started
south. When Mr.. Shepard returned TO
.aae store he discovered the robbery
and posse soon started after tie theft,
who was overtaken between Weizeli
and Mancelona. When the posse
called to young Fox to surrender he
commenced firing at them with the
revolver, and as none OF the party had
guns it was necessary to 90 to farm
house and secure guns, when Fox was
easily taken. Deputy Sheriff Willough-
b. was notified by phone and went
down and brought the young despars-
do to Alba. Fox did not deny his crime
and in fact stated that he had been
planning on it for some time and was
just waiting for favorable opportuni-
ty to put his plans into commission.

ALUMINIUM NOW CHEAP

The housewife who steps into the
hardware store to price an aluminium
kettle or saucepan and pays handsome
ly for il without complaint, because
the kettle is worth it in convenience
and durability, perhaps does not rea-
lize that aluminium is no longer the
rare, expensive metal it was portrayed
to be not many years ago. She does
not knoy that aluminium is now quoted
on the open market at 19 cents pound
with copper at lat cents pound and
tin at 38t cents. Furthermore, the
price figures of 10 and 14i cents for
aluminium and copper are misleading,
since, because aluminium is only three
tenths as heavy as copper, for most
purposes only three-tenths as much by
weight of the metal is needed. The
metal for vat weighing ten pounds
made of copper ought to cost $l.45; the
aluminium for vat of the same size
would weigh three pounds and ought
to cost 81 cents. The use of aluminium
in the industries is still in its early
stages, and in consequence the manu-
featuring cost of many articles is still
excessive; however, we may shortly
expect lower prices to consumer.
1t is no doubt the prevailing opinion
that iron is the most abundant of all
metals. AS matter of fact, of all the
seventy odd clements which make up
the earth, only two are more abundant
than aluminium, namely, oxygen and
silicon,-and these are not metals. Be-
sides, it is of common occurrence, be-
ing principal ingredient OF the ordin-
ary clay that the farmer turns up every
time he lets the point of his plow down
into the sub soil. This clay contains
sometimes as high as 25 per cent of
aluminium in chemical combination with
silicon. However, as yet no process
has been devised by which it can be
recovered cheaply from common clay.
The metal now on the market is re-
duced from the mineral bauxite, which
occurs In Georgia, Alabama and Arkan-
sas in this country, in County Antrim
in Ireland, and in the north of France.
The process for its reduction was devel-
oped in the years from 1886 to 1889 by
c. M. Hall in this country and P. T. L.
Heroult in France. The pure oxide of
aluminium is heated to melting by an
! electric current and separated electro
lytically while in this condition from
the oxygen.
Weight for weight, aluminium is
stronger than any other metal except
the best cast steel and some of its own
alloys. Therefore it is coming into
considerable use in boat building and
other kinds Of construction where

o United Colonies
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

1.-TWO hundred and seventy
years ago was formed the
New England Confed-
eracy." between Massachusetts,
Plymouth, Connecticut and New
Haven-an association of very
great significance in our coun-
try's history.
Scarcely had the New Eng
land colonies been planted when
it was found that there had to
be between them some sort of
united action. and in 1913 the
four colonies mentioned entered
into league which they styled
The United Colonies of New
England or as it later on came
to be called The New England
Confederacy." At this time the
four little States contained thir-
ty-nine towns, and population
of 24,000. 1t may be said that
the Confederacy had a life of
forty-one years duration-from
1648 to 1854, during which time
1t served many useful ends and
fully justified its being.
Ii is with the historical i'm
portanCe of the Confederacy,
however. that We are chiefly
concerned.
TO begin with, it was the first
act Of federation, and therefore
of concerted action, among the
American colonies, antedating

the Continental Congress one
hundred and thirty years and
the Union of the Constitution
hundred and sixteen years. Nor
was there any misunderstanding
the spirit of that first confed-
eracy. They did not ask the
King to permit them to form the
confederacy. They went to work
and formed it of their own free
accord, thus virtually declaring
their ndependence-in loca.
matters, at least-of Great Brl-
tain and her Government, a very
strong hint that sooner or later
independence would be declared
all around the circle.
1t is quite likely that at the
time of the formation of the New
England Confederacy no one in
England or in the colonies
thought of what was com
in in 1915, but We, living
long after the event, are able -
see very clearly what mighty
things were brewing when the
farmers of massachusetts,, Ply
mouth, Connecticut and Ne"
Haven came together and re
solved to create the politlca

The man who is anybody and
who does anything is surely going
to be criticised, vilified and mis-
understood. This is a part of the
penalty for greatness, and every
great man understands it-and
understands, too that it is no
proof of greatness.
Not long ago | met a Yale stu
dent home on a vacation. l am
sure he did not represent the true
Yale spirit, for he was full of
criticism and bitterness toward
the institution President Hadley
came in for his share, and / was
supplied items, facts, data, with
times and places, for a peach of

Very soon I saw the trouble
was not with Yale; the trouble
was with the young man. He had
mentally dwelt on some trivial
sights until he had got SO out of
harmony with the institution that
he had lost the power to derive
any benefit for it, Yale is not

most Yale men are quite willing

certain advantages, and 1t de-
ponds upon the students whether
they will avail themselves of these
advantages or not.

there. You get good by giving it.
You gain by living-so give SYM
