INTERESTING TRIP BY SCOTT
Finds Home of Grandmother
And Relatives in Ger
many After Search.

Rev. Charles Ernest Scott, who de
livered the commencement address,
Thursday morning in the college cha
pei continued on his lecture tour Fri
day morning, the editor being in re-
ceipt Of a very fine letter from the
former Alma boy who was on his way
to Detroit. Mr.. Scott who returned
from China where he has been a mis-
sionary since graduation from the
seminary following his graduation
from Alma college, has been lecturing
Throughout the United States since his
return last July and will continue un-
til the first Of September If condi-
tions are more settled in the Far
East by that time Mr. Scott will re-
turn to China where he will again
take up his missionary labors.
While visiting with Alma friends
Mr.. Scott told of two trips which he
had made to the old home of his grand
mother in Germany. While on ship
board he made a chance acquaintance
ship with man who knew of his re-
latives in Wurtemberg Germany. The
stranger directed him TO their home
There he found his old grandmother
whom he had never seen before and
several other relatives. He learned
that his ancestors were the founders
of the Protestant religion in that part
of Germany and suffered severely dur
ing the early religious wars. From
the inscriptions on the tombstones in
the cemetaries of that city he learned
that his ancestry could be traced to
the days of Martin Luther. His par
entage is very high on both sides of
the family and his relatives are high
ly respected in that community.
Mr.. Scott's father had come to A
merica with his wife, as emigrants.
settling first in Ohio and later coming
TO Gratiot County. They were greatly
beloved by the early settlers and the
death of the young mother caused
great sorrow. Ernest was adopted by
Mrs. Charles Scott, who educated and
took care of him.
Alma people are following his bril-
lint career as a missionary and lee
turer with the keenest interest for as
a boy and a young man he was highly
respected. AS a missionary he is do
ing a wonderful work in China while
as a student of world affairs he must
take rank with the best informed men
of the country. Alma College was in
deed fortunate in securing Charles Err
nest Scott as commencement day ora
tor.

McPHAUL AND WILTON INSTALL
NEW MACHINE

McPhaul & Wilton have installed
a very useful electric machine for the
convenience of the patrons of their
barber shop whereby customers may
be sure of their turn. A card is Civ
en- each customer as he enters the shop
upon which is a number. AS the work
on each customer is completed the bar
Der who has done the work presses a
button which rings a bell and shows
the number of the customer who is
next
Under this system the busy mer-
chant or the prospective customer who
wishes TO save time may go into the
shop, get his number, find out the
number who precedes him by the ma
chine and then come back when he
figures his turn will come. II is a
fine time saving machine.

A MODEL BAK ERY

Few Alma people realize the mag
nitude of the business being done
daily by the Smith bakeries, or the
facilities they have for making baked
goods, and particularly bread. Every
day there is turned out at the two bak-
cries, the one on west Superior and
the other on East Superior street,
thirteen hundred loaves of bread be-
sides vast quantities of every sort of
pastry goods.
Within the last few weeks Mr. c. II.
Smith has installed over twelve hun
dred dollars worth of new machinery
in his East Superior shop. This in
cludes new bake oven costing four
hundred fifty dollars, new electric
bread moulder being able to handle
thirty six hundred loaves an hour A
new bread cooler capable of contain
ing four hundred loaves has also been
installed.
Five barrels of flour are used each
day. This is bought in carload lots.
Five men and women arc in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Smith and as soon as his
growing business will warrant it he
will employ two more expert bread
men. Though he has already a very
big business, Mr. Smith is planning for
trade on a much larger scale and with
the quality which his bread possesses
should have little difficulty in getting

ty, the Board of Education and the
speaker, marched up by the platform
entrance. Immediately afterward the

SEASON CLOSED SATURDAY
Alma H. S. Baseball Team
Ends Season With
Defeat.

Though her Representatives suffered
a crushing defeat last Saturday on
Davis field at the hands of Arthur
Hill High School of Saginaw by the
score of 13 TO /, Alma High closed a
very successful season. The accep-
tance of such an overwhelming defeat
is only an indication that Coach
Lutchman's boys are human and that
victory cannot always be the lot of the
home team.
The break which started the down.
fall of Perry's men came in the first
inning when, with the bases crowded,
what should have been an easy out
was allowed to go for three bases.
This raw error threw CONSERVATION
in the Alma camp and the fight was
given up then and there. Highfeld
was in the box for Alma and until the
closing innings was not hit 10 any eX-
tent at all. Five runs were scored by
Arthur Hill in the first inning without
single hit being registered off the
delivery of the Alma twirler In the
third inning Captain Perry suffered a
very painful bump on his forefinger
which put him out of the game. The
loss of the team leader and the heav-
lest hitter on the squad didn't tend to
encourage the Alma players very
much. Smith went behind the bat
and Wilson went to third base in
Smiths place.
Arthur Hill continued their scoring
until the ninth inning, repeated
Alma errors being the largest factor
in the big score. Goodsill, the visit
ing pitcher held the Alma batters un-
der his control.
Despite the Saturday reverse Alma
has had a distinctly successful season
of base ball. Coach Lutchman may
well be proud of the team which he has
trained and led through a schedule Of
ten games, only two of which resulted
defeats. Mt. Pleasant and Arthur
Hill were the only two teams TO beat
Alma and the former was only wip-
ing out a defeat which they had prey
iously suffered at Alma's hands this
season.
Graduation will deprive next years
team of several valuable men, but
enough will be left from which a nu-
cleous may be formed to maEo a very
good team. Wood, Smith and Perry
are among the most prominent who
will graduate this June.
If one man should be singled out
from the teams roster as a little more
valuable than any other, that man
would undoubtedly be Captain Perry,
who has caught Highfeld throughout
the season in highly creditable man
ner and has been at the same time by
far the heaviest hitter on the team.
Smith also must be given credit for
the fine work which has characterized
Alma's playing this season. Though
compelled TO give up much of his time
to track work he has nevertheless
found time to help out the baseball
team materially. The most promin-
ent individual feature of the season
has been the superb pitching of High
field. The diminutive right handler
has pitched every game and has never
been hit consistently by any team,
though he has suffered much from
poor support at times. His only fault
has been at times a tendency to wild
ness.
Coach Luchtman has not only de-
veloped a very fine team as playing
machine but he has developed many
players.

Home made ice cream was the
cause of wholesale poisoning at the
home of Mr. and Mrs Frank Keefer,
last Sunday, when Misses Doris Cas-
Ter, Ethel Smith and Carl Titus, Roy
Keefer, Lamont Wood, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Keefer suffered bad cases of pto-
maine poisoning one hour after eating
ice cream.
Just what ingredients of the ice
cream caused the poisoning has not
yet been determined though it is
thought that the vanilla with which
the cream was favored, might have
been the cause. Two doctors were
quickly called and no permanent bad
effects resulted from the accident.

MERRILL VISITED BY COSTLY
BLAZE

At twelve-thirty o'clock, Friday
night, fire broke out in the Merrill
garage. Two men from st. Louis had
just taken on gasoline and were pre-
pairing to start when fire was discov-
cred i'm the office, and Immediately
afterward an explosion burst into
flames. The fire quickly spread TO the
residence of VIM. Donahue next door,
and despite the best efforts of the cit
izens only a badly wrecked shell re-
mains of the handsome building. The
lower story was occupied by Mr. Don
ahue and family, and the upper by w.
Wright and family. Nearly all the
household goods of both families
We're saved but much damaged. The
dwelling was a large two story struc-
ture worth $500. The garage had
just changed hands and Mr. Tippen
Of Breckenridge was in charge The
exact extent of his loss is not yet
known. A car belonging to DR.. J. H.
Hudson was in the garage.
The wooden cupola on the new town
house and jail was burned and all the
windows on the side next to the fire
broken and sash burned, and it took
strenuous efforts to keep the flames
from the out-buildings Of j II Whit
ney and D = German. John Coughlin
Jr. had his arm badly burned and sew
eral others were slightly injured. Mrs.
Donahue, who has been i'll, is suffering
from the effects of shock and fright.
Merrill Small was knocked down by
an auto and painfully injured, his head
being cut and faced bruised
