be found the announce of the opening
of the Fortino Brothers fruit store.
These gentlemen were previously con-
nected with the Pontiac Fruit House

lishment which is operated by another
brother. They have twelve years eX-
perience in the wholesale and retail
fruit business and will conduct in
Alma a first class fruit market The
store is located nearly opposite the
city hall on East Superior street. A
neat Job of window lettering has been
completed, and most of the fixtures in
place All fixtures are finished in oak.
A circular show case containing box
candy holds front position along the
east wall, and another glass case, con-
tanning the bulk extends to the rear
of the room. Back of the counters is
shelving for candy and glass contain
ers.
On the west wall, is the cigar and
tobacco case, and another case for box
candy. A fruit rack extends across
the rear of the room. The floor is
covered with a cork inlaid linoleum,
of light color and with glass fixtures
gives the store a very pleasing ap-

MICHIGAN BEAN J0BBERS
TO BOOST PRODUCT
Would Make Michigan Crop as
Famous as that of Cal
ifOrnia.

Michigan beans, their quality and
their prospects of winning in the mar
kets of the world, were strongly boost
ed at the mid-winter meeting of the
Michigan Bean Jobbers' Association in
the banquet room Of the Hotel Cadil-
ac, Thursday At the afternoon ses-
sion many bean producers were pre-
sent on invitation of the jobbers and
standing room was at a premium.
As stated by w. J. Orr, president
of the jobbers' association the main
reason of the gathering was-to in
spire everybody connected with the
growing and marketing of the beans in
Michigan to rise above the discour-
agements imposed by the weather con-
iitions Of the 1915 season and make
the coming season a banner one in
bean production.
Michigan, as the producer Of 20
per cent. of the beans raised in the
United States must not allow her sup
remacy to be in any measure de-
ceased Speakers on the extensive
program drove home this fact many
times.
w. E. Griffin. Of the Alma Roller
Mills attended this convention and
was booked on the program for the
response to the address of welcome.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

The games of last Friday between
Cadillac and the local high school team
resulted in a score of 33 to y in favor
of the Cadillac team. Seems as
though the home boys were outplayed
at every stage of the game, and it has
been the hardest "whitewash" they
have had for a long time. However,
the boys are feeling considerable bet
ter over the outcome Of the game at
Merrill Wednesday night The Alma
team hit the Merrill boys hard, bring
ing home a score of 26 to 8. Merrill
has a good team this year but Alma
outplayed them throughout the game.

That Bulgaria Will Weaken and Allow fsraeks to Drive Them From Territory, Is Another Possibility Pleas ing the Allies.

London, August 31.-The whole interest In the war Is now focused on the Bal kans and on the German Field Marshal Won Hindenburg. Rumania's participa- ton is considered here important not only from the accession of fresh army, but from the opportunity it gives the Rus sian army to extend It's base, and to cooperate with Rumania on Galician and TransyIvanian territory virtually as one army against the Austrians.
 Another important factor is the closing of the Danube, the principal route for the shipment of munitions from Germany to Turkey aMi the shipping of supplies to
 Germany.
 WAS AUSTRIA PREPARED? Repore differ as to whether the central powers Were ready for Rumania's entry. While Austrian official messages assert that Austria-H Hungary was prepared, dis
 patches to the newspapers say that the central powers were so confident of Ru- mania's neutrality that they left the boundary thinly guarded and that they arc hurrying endorsements from every quarter, while the inhabitants are fleeing, panic-stricken, before the Rumanian ad- vance.

 occupation of the territory in Greece. so

 cussed King Ferdinand of Bulgaria Is
 visiting Vienna and English speculation
 Is that he fears to return to his king
 dom and Is prepared to abdicate in favor
 of Crown Prince Boris.
 Grown Prince Boris, reported to be
 hedging on Bulgaria's gamble by ex-
 pressing Sentiments friendly to his fathers enemies.
 The Munich Nachrichten says that the
 central powers do. not doubt Bulgarias s
 loyalty. but are alarmed at her obscure
 attitude and the lack of news from that country. Rome reports that Bulgaria requires insurance by a<reinforcement of
 10000 Turkish troops before she will declare war on Rumania.
 Chief speculation regarding Field Mar

 in what direction he will change Ger
