Why Husbands Leave Home.

Why do so many husband iun
away. A Chicago statistician,
connected with the bureau of
public welfare in this city. has
been trying to answer the ques-
ton.
After investigating thousands
of cases Of assertions he finds
that the husbands action can
usually be ascribed to one Of the
following four causes:
Ill health and peevishness OF
the wife.
Slouchiness of the wife. either
in her own person or in her
housekeeping methods, or both.
The wife's habit Of nagging OF
gossiping.
Dislike for children on the
wife's part.
This statistician found that
the strongest incentive to recon-
Citation in cases Of family dis
cord is almost invariably the
child. He also found that very
few wives are deserted who are
Physically healthy and mental
ly cheerful.

THE WEATHER

Alma people have noticed lately
that the weather signals displayed
on the staff on the roof of the Opera
House block. In order that the mean
ing of these signals may be made clear
we give their significance as follows
The white flag means fair weather.
The black flag signifies the approach
of storm. A flag with white above
black denotes storm followed by fair
weather and black above white pre-
diets fair weather followed by storm.
When a white flag with black center
is flown, a sudden drop in temperature
of several degrees may be expected.
p NJ. Smith receives the govern
ment weather bureau reports and
turns them over to the janitor of the
Opera House Block who makes the
necessary changes in the signals.

On the way down town the boys
stopped at Gulick's Ice Cream Par
Tor and the DeLuxe Candy Kitchen,
where the proprietors treated the boys
literally from their stocks OF good
things
Only one incident occurred to mar
the evenings enjoyment. This was
when someone turned in a false alarm

reached the Hall, however, they seren-
AIDED the girls for some time, after
which w. +. Baker took a hash-light

HAMILTON HIGHWAY BEGUN
Expected To Have Highway Com

Work is progressing fine on the
Alma-St. Louis highway. Commits
sioner Hamilton informs us that the
first coat which consists of 10 inches
Stag has been put on the east half and
that twenty-four more cars of Stag
will arrive this week at Alma which
will complete the first coat on the
west half or the Alma end. As soon
as the work of putting on the Stag is
completed the gravel will be put on.
The road will be finished this fall if
teams and labor can be procured. The
road probably will not be used much
this fall but will be settled and in ex-
cellent shape for next year. Deputy
State Highway Commissioner on a
visit of late to examine and accept of
the grade stated that if completed
according to plans this would be the
banner piece of road in the state. II

Board of Trade Petition in
Favor of Republic Co.
Is Only Fair
DISTRIBUTE BIG PAY ROLL
Other Large Cities Owe Their
Growth to Concessions Made
to Manufacturers

In accordance with an agreement
made with the Republic Motor Truck
Co. at citizens meeting held at
Weese's Hall some weeks ago with $50
of its citizens and business men pres
ent, whereby the Board of Trade by
a unanimous vote of the citizens pres
ent were instructed to pass petition
to be signed by its citizens, petition
ing the common council and its sue
cessors to remit the city tax on the
Republic Co.'S property for a period
of ten years, it being signed up by its
citizens. We are pleased to state that
very little opposition is being found.
Those who refuse to sign certainly can
not understand that this was part of
the consideration for which the Com
pany was induced to remain in Alma.
Another feature is that those who op-
pose the renting i'm almost every
case are those who did not contribute
cent toward the fund of Sl2, 800 that
was raised and with which the ma
chinery was purchased. Had the Re
public Co. left Alma the present plant
would have been closed up and very
little tax would have been received.
but by the effort of our citizens and
the conses.on of renting the tax
they were induced to remain, and
abor payroll OF $50 men is being dis
tributed in our city every day, $780,
600 in new buildings is being expended
and the prospects are bright that be-
fore July lst. 1916, 500 men will be
employed. Is it worth while? The
Record emphatically says yes.
Show US another city in Michigan
that would not remit the tax to secure
an industry like this, and this is all it
will cost the tax payers at large. What
has it done for real estate owners? 1t
has increased every piece of property
in Alma twenty-five per cent, it has
put Alma on the map as one of the
best towns in the state. Not only this.
it has turned the eyes of other manu-
factories toward Alma, and in time
we predict that Alma will be the fac
tory center of this part of the state
We are in hopes every citizen in Alma
will sign this petition and then act as
a committee of one to see that il is
carried out. These little concessions
are what has made such cities as
Flint, Pontiac, Jackson, Lansing, Sag
inaw and Detroit. Lets all get into
the game and boost for a better and
bigger Alma. Don't let il be said
that Alma or any Of its citizens was
party to notification of such a pro-
position.

OF INTEREST TO AUTO OWNERS

Twenty-Five automobiles have beer
stolen in the small towns and coun,
try districts of Michigan during the
past few days. A Maxwell car was
stolen in the vicinity of Niles. JOIN
Motion and John Moore have been ar.
rested and brought to Marshall foi
stealing the automobile of ID. NJ Var
Syckle. A Ford car belonging to f
NJ. Chatterton was stolen from the
Jackson Fair on September 18th. A
new Buick "Six" was stolen from Ed.
ward S. Hunt, Buick agent at Flint
A Peerless (seven passenger) car was
stolen and driven to East Jordan
Michigan, where it was abandoned and
now awaits an owner.
Over fifteen hundred cars were
stolen in Michigan last year and over
two thousand automobile accidents
have occurred in Michigan since Jan
uary 1st, which caused the death of
about forty people; therefore, the
time has come where the prudent man
feels the need of protection against
the auto thief and the damage cases
as a result of the accidents.
The following are few of the judg-
ments obtained against automobile
owners: Cooper VS.. Clifford, Calhoun
County $3.50; Faulkner VS.. Payne,
Calhoun County $500; Regan VS.. Pat
terson, Calhoun County Settled for
$500; VIM. Moran VS.. Phil Alexan-
der, Genesee County, judgment $500;
judgment against Jas. Johnson, Isa-
bella County S126S; judgment against
Charles a. Bigelow, Bay County
$1,000; against Mr.. Hill, Oakland
County $4,000; against Lester r.
Ulrick, Macomb County $500.
No careful man feels like visiting
the Fair or the City and leaving his
automobile even for one hour without
insurance; therefore, why not take a
policy? The cost is only 81 for policy
and 25c a H. p. under the State rat
ing which makes $3.50 on a Ford car;
1925 on a Maxwell, Dodge, Stude-
baker or Oakland, etc; other cars ir
proportion.
