BIG PRIMARY SCHOOL Fund

Alma's apportionment of the Pri-
mary School Fund will be much larg-
er than in former years. $40 is the
allotment for each person of school
age in the state of Michigan. There
are nine hundred fourteen persons of
school age in Alma so that the appor-
tionment for this city will amount to
6,763.60 This will tighten the local
burden of taxation for this purpose
considerably.
Multiply the number Of school child
rem in your district by $40 and you
will know the amount received by
your district
Figures compiled by superintendent
of public instruction, Fred l.. Keller
show that s26,434 school children OF
Michigan are eligible to participate
in the apportionment of primary
SCHOOL money that will be made this
year at the rate of $40 per capita or
perhaps more.
Supt. Keller says that there has
been an increase of ,5S5 school chill
dren during the past year.
According State Treasurer Haar-
er's report there was S6,14S,595.50 in
the primary school fund on April 30
This is an increase of more than ST.
cocoon in the amount of fund one
year ago. The big increase is due to
the fact that the Pere Marquette and
Ann Arbor railroads were behind in
their taxes when the last apportion-
ment was made and they have since
paid
AS usual Detroit will receive the
highest amount of the primary school
fund as there are 1884 children on
the rolls this year.
Saginaw east and west side has a
total of 1888, an increase of 1913 over
last year
Lansing has 1850 school children
between the ages of five and twenty
an increase of 165 over last year
Grand Rapids has 3O,62S school child
rem, an increase of 276 over last year:
Flint has 1901 school children, an in
crease of $50 over 1914; Jackson has
S,l0S, which is seven less than the
number recorded a year ago Muske-
gon shows 6,9O5, an increase of A.

DEPUTY FISH WARDEN MURPHY
MAKES 4 BIG CATCH

James 0. Dell, Dick Bonness and
Graham Massey were convicted i'm the
circuit court last week on the charge
of dynamiting fish IN the Pine and
Maple Rivers. They were fined S25
apiece and give one year probation
during which they cannot leave the
state without permit from Circuit
Judge.
The case was worked up and pro-
secuted by Deputy Game Warden Ar
thur Murphy who has handled so ma
ny similar cases with such satisfactory
results. Mr.. Murphy has allowed few
violations of the law to escape his
notice and those which he has appre-

to be in good working order for there
is evidence that fish are coming up
stream from the Saginaw River.

4. II :. WINS 9th STRAIGHT
VICTORY

Ithaca High School was the sixth
victim of Alma Highs superior base
ball skill when they. we're beaten on
Davis Field by the score of Z to 3 in
a seven inning game. Alma played
very loosely or they would have Sc
cured the victory by shutout
Highfield was in the box for Alma
and pitched a fairly good game being
rather wild at times but tightening
up in big league form at critical. times
Smith, Wilson and Mindell led the hit
ting for Alma. In the sixth Mindell
drove out three base nit to the fence
and was sent home by a freak home
run by Wilson.
The locals stole bases at will run
ming bases exceptionally well. 1t was
their sixth straight victory of the sea-
son, not having lost game as yet
Coach Luchtman, Captain Perry and
the other eight or nine men are max
ing a fine record for the local high
school and they certainly deserve more
loyal support from the townspeople.

MUSICAL TREATS ARE
GIVEN At THE COLLEGE
Spencer Piano Concert and Pupils
Recital Were the Important
Events of the Week.

On last Monday evening was pre-
sented in the College chapel, the sixth
number of the Artists course in which
Allen Spencer of Chicago, both amazed
and overwhelmed his audience in a
piano recital. His program was chos-
en- from the Oldest to the newest
schools of musical endeavor being rep
resented by Rameau, Beethoven, Men
delssohn, Brahms, Franck, Debussy,
John Alden Carpenter and LIT.
Space will not permit of an extern
sive resume of the program although
few points may be reviewed.: Mr..
Spencer's reading of the Beethoven
Sonata OPP. 80, was never TO be for
gotten example of poetic imagination
and conception. The obviousness of
of the harmonic structure, the purity
and direct appeal of the themes cou-
pied with the tremendous technical
difficulties of the senate which all TAX
en- together renders its performance
so hazardous, was easily within the
of the Brahams group the Romanza
Op. 11S, stood above the rest, both as
composition of inspiration and APP
peal Following a group from the
modern French school by Franck and
Debussy (the latter on which Mr..
Spencer said a few words of explana-
tom came an ''lmpromptu" and "Pol-
onaise Americana" by Carpenter, a
Chicago composer who seems to be
the greatest hope of music in Amer
lea today The latter number was of
special interest inasmuch as Mr. Car
penter has attempted the much talked
of project of Incorporating our rag
time melodies into composition of ser
ious import.
The last group which was made up
of three LISTS well known "Etudes'
needs no mention further than the
fact that they were wonderful exam
Piles of the greatest school of piano
technique ever produced and also the
results of an exhaustive and never
firing study of pianistic possibilities
tonal values and a virtuso technique
the possession of which alone enables
the performer to ascend the heights
of Mount Parnassus.
A small but appreciative audience
was in attendance and gave Mr. Spen-
Ger the warm welcome that he deserv-
ed. At the conclusion of the ultra
modern group he responded to an en-
core with a Romance by Schumann.
AT the end of the program he was OBJ
liged to play another extra number
for which he chose the Chopin REV
dictionary Etude".

fered a place in the cast of the great
Savage Opera Co. of New York, but
owing to his interests in Grand Rapids
declined this brilliant offer
Mr.. Neatch, who will assume the
baritone part in the "Seven Last
Words" needs no introduction, as his
work has spoken for itself not only in

CATARRH GERMS EASILY
KILLED
BY Breathing Into Throat Nose and
Lungs a Pure Antiseptic Air

BY Breathing Into Throat Nose and
Lungs a Pure Antiseptic Air
If you have catarrh and want to get
rid of it you must kill the germs which
cause the disease.
The best known way of destroying
catarrh germs is to breath into the
air passages of your nose and throat
and lungs, the pleasant, penetrating
air of Hyomei pronounced High-o-
mel. Hyomei is made from purest oil
of Eucalyptus combined with other
powerful, healing, antiseptic and ger
micidal ingredients. You breath it
through a little pocket inhaler which
Chas. Rhodes and other leading drug
gists in Alma and vicinity are furnish
ing with every complete treatment
sold. Every time you inhale the sweet
fragrant air of Hyomei through this
little device you are drawing into your
swollen, inflamed, germ laden men,
branes, a medicated air which will not
only reduce all the swelling and in
fiammation and open your clogged
nose and stopped-up air passages, but
will absolutely and positively destroy
every trace of catarrh germ life it
reaches. Druggists are so sure of the
blessed, lasting relief that Hyomei
brings to catarrh sufferers that they
sell it invariably on the positive guar
antee that money paid will be refund
ed if successful results are not obtain
ed from its use.
