FINAL eAMEs Of SEASON
Biggest Crowd That Ever Packed
High School Gym Sees Cadillac
and Adrian Lose By Big Scores

The two high school iives took
the floor at eight o'clock with the
biggest crowd which has ever ,ail-
med the high. gym on hand for the
double header. The scoring for the
hrst half was very light with Dutt.
the big Alma center dropping in TWO
baskets and Smith digging the DalI
up in fine style. The half ended
with Alma i'm the lead bv u tn 4
count. For the final period Med
Ter took Tinkham's place at rieht
forward and with the game safely
under way, Stevens displaced Dutt
and Haner took Muscotts place.
Alma literally ran away from their
opponents during this half. Smith
scored several fine field baskets
though his foul shooting was rath-
er off color.
Last Friday evening at the High
School gymnasium the college and
nigh school basketball teams closed
up their seasons by scoring decisive
victories over Adrian college and
cadillac high school fves respec-
lively. Basketball fans of the city
were given rare treat for both
games were well played, though one
sided. and the play at times bordered
on the sensational. Adrian was de-
feated by the score of SO TO IA and
Cadillac by the score of 25 TO 16.
The college band led by Ray Tomlin
was on hand and rendered fine Sc
lections which were very much ap-
preciated by the audience.
After this game the band render
ed several popular airs following
which the two college fves took the
floor. Alma took the lead from the
first toot of the whistle and at the
end of the half was leading bv the
score of twenty-four to four. the
visitors being able to score but one
field goal. Gallagher. Wood and
Stegall scored baskets at will be-
sides showing the visitors some ex-
CellenJ passing.
With no substitutions the local
quintet continued their good work
during the second half and rolled up
the score to So to IA. The local de-
fense was relaxed somewhat and the
Adrian forwards tossed in four field
baskets.
Wood and Gallagher each scored
twenty points. while Steggall scored
the remaining twelve points Nisbit
played an excellent game at guard
for Alma.

AUTO OWNERS SHOULD
HEED LICENSE WARNING

The Automobile Department at
Frankfort will contribute to the
State road fund for the year 1915
about 100000. This is double the
receipts of any previous year.
When the 1915 plates were order
ed, more than year ago, 1t was es-
timated that 10000 pairs would be
sufficient but more than $1,000 have
already been ISSUED.
The fetal receipts of the Office to
date this year are 100000 and This
would have been very materially in
creased but from the fact that s.
$50 old cars and all new cars have
paid only the proportionate part of
the fee for the license to run to
January 1. 1916.
When the Acts OF the General AS
sembly of 1914 became effective
there were $3.50 licenses that did
not expire January 1st. but ran int"
1915. These We're the Series &c"
licenses with tags of black and let
tiers in white. This has caused
much confusion. as there were two
kinds of tags good during the first
six months OF 1915 and many peo-
pie were laboring under the mis-
taken impression that a large num-
Der OF cars were being operated on
improper licenses. This confusion
was removed on June 10th and all
tags now in use should show the
date "1915" on the right hand end
Of the plates.
Local officers in many places are
arresting all motorists seen With
improper tags, and TO avoid trouble
all drivers should see that cars are
registered for this year and are car
rying tags with a white background
with red letters.
In 1916 when all Cars now in the
State must renew their licenses and
pay the full fee for the year, there
should be collected for the highways
of the State not less than $175. 900
and probably much more.

though where the pest is In the
flaxsesd stage this disking will
not destroy them all. Flowing
under is the only sure way to gel
all but II is too late for that in
most places. The infested volun-
tser wheat should certainly mol
be left standing after the regular
crop ID sown. Where the intast-
