FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION
Ithaca And Crystal Lake
Have Good Programs
3rd. and 5th.

Alma people had golden opportuEi-
ties to celebrate the Fourth with a
program of sport at Crystal Lake or
the third of July, one at Ithaca. on the
fifth of July and with numerous lakes
and rivers within easy driving dis
tance. The opportunities for recrea-
tion were as numerous as the various
tastes to be considered. The feature
of the celebration at Crystal was to
have been an aeroplane flight Con-
sequently when it was announced on
the morning of the third, that the ma
chine had been disabled during a fight
on the previous week, the bottom
rather dropped out of the days fun,
there. However aeroplane or no aero
plane the lake itself was sufficient
source of enjoyment to the big crowd
which thronged the resort town.
Somewhat of an encore celebration
was given at Crystal on the Fourth of
July when nearly as large a crowd as
on the day before was present.
Ithaca was the scene of the joint
tri-city celebration. The program for
the day was well arranged and as well
carried out. The country seat Fourth
management should De given their full
credit for their work. The feature of
the morning part of the program was
the baseball game which was won by
Ithaca, by the score of 2 to 0. Ed.
johnson the Alma Independent first
baseman, pitched for Ithaca and let the
Lansing Reos down with one hit. In
the |yernoon, Ithaca defeated the
same team to l.

which the Republic people have built,
and are Offering for sale to the city,
was driven over and exhibited 1t
made an unmistakable hit The Ith-
aca people were fully as enthusiastic
about it as were the Alma people
when it was exhibited in this city,
Saturday afternoon.
Pine and Bass Lake were scenes of
several Fourth picnics while many
left the city to spend the day or week
end at Saginaw, Grand Rapids and
other cities.

REV. KENNEDY ILL

Rev. JOS. Kennedy was taken seri-
ously i'll quite suddenly last week,
Thursday night. The attack was pro-
nounced appendicitis, and on account
OF the seriousness Of the attack it was
decided that an operation was neces-
sary. Saturday afternoon, DR.. Hall of
Pompeii, performed the operation as
sisted by DR.. II. +. Ferguson. This
was a success in every way and the
reverend gentleman has been doing as
well as could be expected. Troubles
never come singly is evidenced by the
fact that Mrs Kennedy has been hav-
ing the mumps.-Carson City Gazette

from Alma College this year and is
at present, pastor of the Congrega-
tional church of Carson City.

EASTERN STAR CELEBRATES

Past Matrons' and Patrons Day
was observed by over eighty members
and guests of the Eastern Star lodge
at their hall Friday evening. 1t was
undoubtedly the best meeting and en-
tertainment which this lodge has ever
held, not only in point of attendance
but in respect to the fine social time
which all enjoyed.

among the number being Mrs Simon
Messenger, the first Worthy Matron
of the local organization, Mrs. f. Mes

Two new members were initiated
into the lodge. Messrs Vern Wright

ARMY PROGRESSING
FINELY

Three months ago, Captain and Mrs
Lamont met on the corner of State
and Superior streets for the first time
without any converts. Last Sunday
there were gathered with them seven
teen new members of the army, in a
big open air meeting. On the same ev-
ening three more joined the ranks.
This is remarkably fine record but is
natural consequence in view of the
splendid work which the Captain and
his wife are doing and the strong SYM
pathy which they are showing to the
less fortunate.
Alma people are cooperating splen-
didly in the work of the Army but if
the efforts of the Captain are to be of
the best advantage, greater means
must be placed at their disposal.
Captain Ward of Hillsdale is assist
ing the Alma leaders in the work.

Local Team Had Game Won
Until Visitors Ninth
Inning Rally
LONG HITS FEATURED GAME
Alma Has Well Balanced Team and
Merits the Support of Every
Local Fan

BY the scant margin of a solitary
run the Alma City team was defeated
by the Mt. Pleasant Normal baseball
men on Davis Field, Monday after
noon, before a fair sized holiday
crowd in a rafting good game,
replete with hard hitting and lots of
excitement. The hitting honors for
the day went to the visiting players,
the home hopes. Four of Alma's hits
were punched in the one inning, other
wise Alma would have been satisfied
with nothing much better than a shut
out, for luck was entirely with Mt.
Pleasant.
Harry Helmar whose baseball star
shone luminously for Alma College,
some six years back, pitched for Mt.
Pleasant and must be given credit for
harmonizing beautifully, pitching with
pure luck. Buckhart pitched for AL
ma and did very well though touched
up for nine hits. Captain Bates whose
guiding hand has had much to do with
the early season successes of the team
was unable to be present to play. This
weakened the playing strength of AL
ma considerably though his substitute
Clifford Steggle filled his shoes very
nicely. The latter was the only Alma
man to secure more than one hit, two
of them falling to his lot. Wood was
in the Alma lineup for the first time
this season and played a fine game,
securing a double in three times at
bat. Johnson hit out the longest drive
of the fray getting three bases on it.
A single by Page, double by Wood,
triple by Johnson and single by
Steggle, following in quick succession
were responsible for four of Alma's
runs. Burkhart kept the visitors hits
well scattered though glaring errors
on the part of his teammates made a
victory impossible. Alma was guilty
of seven misplays in the field; Mt.
Pleasant erred thrice.
Considering the fact that the big
celebration of the county was being
held in Ithaca, a very large crowd saw
the game. The contest itself was not
lacking in thrills though repeated mis-
playing on the part Of the Alma play
ers somewhat dampened the enthusi-
asm of their hackers.
The team is playing good baseball
now and with the advance of the sea-
son and more generous response of
loyalty on the part of the fans, Alma
should have a winning team and one
of which she may well be proud. Man
ager Ruggles of the Republic Motor
Truck Co. is allowing all men who
work at the Republic plant and are
members of the team to be laid off
on game days and has promised the
team his heartiest support.

FORD TRACTOR READY SOON
Dearborn Celebrates in Hon
or of Big Industry To Be
Established There

Dearborn, one of the suburbs of De
troit, held big celebration of its own
on the Fourth, but the observation of
independence Day was of far less i'm
portance than the observation of the
coming Ford Tractor Day, when that
machine will come to revolutionize
farm work and incidently build up
Dearborn, from a small suburb to a
good sized city in itself. The work
of constructing buildings for the new
plant will begin very soon.
This Ford Tractor of which so much
is expected both by its inventor Mr..
Ford and by the automobile world at
large is expected to cost about two
hundred fifty dollars and will do al
post everything on the farm except
pick potato bugs. The small son will
still have to officiate at this task be-
tween swimmin' spells.
One of the Detroit dailies had the
following to say of the Sunday cele-
bration by Dearborn people in honor
Of Mr.. Ford:
"We will make these with all kinds
of wheels-every kind that's needed
for every kind of work." said Mr..
Ford, who was no longer the squat
ting Dearborn villager, but the lectur-
er of his friends, and the center of
the whole scene. eve put rubber
wheels on that one when we sent it
down to Toledo couple of weeks ago
"What? Not wheels of rubber? ?"
"Sure; just take off those lugs and
put on rubber ones. Perfectly simple" !"
The crowd saw that it was.
won't the motor stop" The
tractor was now doing an exhibition
of ground and lofty hill-climbing, a
cross distractions, and around gullies.
1t plowed Fight through tract of
marsh knee-deep in water.
"Here, bring it up here again" or
dered the tractors creator, and the
machine came obediently to him,
though he was standing only forty
feet from it and twenty feet above it.
Engineers would have called it a fifty
per cent gradient. "Some hill-climb-
in," declared Dearborn.
The tractor came to tree and stop
ped. Don't stop the motor" directed
Mr.. Ford. Twenty horsepower, you
know" he added, in an aside to an in
credulous farmer.
The tractor stopped but the rear
wheels dug into the earth. Dug and
dug into it, until the tractor was ac-
tually burying itself in a grave of its
own digging. Clods flew behind it in
clouds, and the sweet smell of the new
turned virgin earth reached the nos
trils of the thousands gathered there.
Then Mr.. Ford made his three new
announcements.
The first is that if the United States
government doesn't see fit to deepen
and widen the River Rouge immedi-
ately for his $25,OOO,00O plant where
iron ore on his own ship bottoms will
be turned into motors and machinery
he himself will do this colossal work
out of his own pocket.
The second is that the moving pic.

tractor at work during the Afternoon
will be shown at the White House
privately before President Wilson anc
members of his family. This has beer

Over Twenty Thousand See
Performance Wednesday
Afternoon And Nigh
BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE
Alma Entertains Big Crowd To One
of The Best Circuses Ever
Seen in This City

II the universal opinion Of betweei
twenty and twenty five thousand peo-
pie is fair criterion, the two per
formances of Ringling Bros. circus in
Alma was a huge success--outside Of
the weather At the afternoon per-
formance the big tent was packed to
the doors and scarcely single seat
was vacant. The capacity of it is six
teen thousand. At night, in spite Of
the terrific rainstorm in the afternoon
and early evening there was a fair
sized crowd in the tent though there
were a lot of empty seats.
The unloading of the trains was
big drawing card. People began to
come in from the country during the
evening before and continued in num-
bers until several thousand had gath
cred by the early hours of the morning
beside the railroad tracks. The first
of the four trains arrived in Alma "a
bout four thirty o'clock, the remaining
trains arriving at intervals of about
an hours time. In all there were
eighty five double length cars.
The parade began at ten o'clock and
continued for an hour. 1t was rather
long and unwieldy for Alma,'s streets
but is could not have more apprecia-
tive audience in any place than it had
here. The streets along the line of
the parade were packed from store
front to curb for several blocks. The
circus of Ringlings' seemed to have
more elephants than they have had
previously though no more animals of
other sorts.
The early arrangements such as un-
loading, raising of the big white top
were carried off with the same beauti-
full precision which always marks the
work of circus forces.
Unlike previous performances given
by Ringlings' in Alma, there was a
big outstanding feature which was
played up to unusual Importance and
which was very effective in production.
This feature was a reproduction of
Solomon's court and the visit of the
Queen of Sheba. The center of the
north side Of the section usually de-
voted to seats was taken up by big
platform on which Solomon and sever
al hundred members of his court were
seated. The costumes and makeups
were gorgeous and when the spotlight
was turned on them the effect was
quite striking. The scene in the Bible
where the two women dispute the mo-
therhood of the child and the wisdom
and judgement of the Hebrew king is
brought to a test, was first depicted.
The scene where the queen visits his
court, was then shown. The dancing
of the several hundred girls was es-
pecially good and provoked round after
round of applause.
The acrobatic, trapeze work and all
work of that sort was done well though
the bareback and saddle back horse
riding was hardly as good as usual.
During the entire three hours of the
afternoons entertainment heavy
rain fell making it very oisagreeable
for the big crowd. Jitneys were in bic
demand and umbrellas more so.
Taking it all in all Ringlings' was a
big success from beginning to end and
their next visit to Alma will be cor
daily received.
