A CORRECTION

We wish to make correction in the
story of the Elwell automobile smash
up which appeared in last weeks issue
of The Record. Among other things it
was stated that Stanley Langin.
Charles Hulse and Frank Miller ap-
propriated car and were drunk when
they took the trip to Elwell.
The car belongs to Mrs. William
Ring and she had given Langin per-
mission to use it whenever he wished.
Furthermore, the boys assert that they
were not drunk and though they had
a serious smashup it was purely an
accident and they had a perfect right
to take the trip.

BACK TO THE FOLD

The latest demonstration that it is
a difficult thing to get an old dog ia
miiar with new tricks, is the return
of our old friend, c. f. Brown, of
Alma, to the journalistic game, he
having recently purchased, or rather,
re-purchased the Alma Record, which
he conducted SO many years, and with
such marked success, until the post
Office bee got to buzzing in his head
gear, when he retired to serve his
country by licking stamps.
And when he quit the postoffice he
branched out into the next best thing
to newspaper work, went into the gas
business, but that did not fill the
aching void and he is now back at the
helm of the old Record. grinding out
sizzling editorials while the better
half of him. with CHEEKY face. hair just
a little more silvered, presides at the
business counter with the same grace
as in days of yore.

UNIQUE WINDOW DECORATIONS

The Gratiot County Gas Co. has fol-
lowed out a unique advertising idea in
the decoration of its show windows.
In the north window has been placed
an old range much the worse for wear;
nearby is the old-fashioned woodbox
filed with rubbish; on the table is the
)ld-fashioned oil lamp which manu-
actures more evil smells and smoke
han it does light; everywhere matches
IRE strewn ready to start dangerous
laze. In the south window is one of
heir latest models Of gas ranges; gas
lat iron; kitchen cabinet and gas
