HOW RAILROAD Strike
WOULD Be FELT HERE
Wilmington, Close TO Coast
Cities, Would be Better
Off Than Many
WOULD USE TROLLEYS
AND MOTOR VEHICLES

While all inland towns OF the state
would be hard hit by the threatened
railroad strike. Wilmington would
suffer less than many. owing 10 It's
proximity TO the coast and its other
transportation and freight facilities.
Convenience would be badly shattered
by such a strike but as far as getting
necessities in the food line and trans

other places 70 and from their work
there would be little suffering Where
In this place would be a lot better
on than hundreds of others.
Wilmington does not have TO de
pend on train service f0r its m TX
supply as the source Of the supply is
near the city and is brought In by
horses and motor vehicles. Vegetables
100 come in here mostly from outly-
ing farms. though some of the whole

from ifteen miles or more away
Legs and other farm produce would
continue TO come in. The scarcity in
other places would tend 20 boost the
price there but with no train faciliti-
Ties the farmers would have to cater

would face heavy demand from
places In the same condition as viii
mngton. there might be trouble get
ting a sufficient supply by boat here,
especially at the start. but eventually
the wafer freight would keep this
section supplied
Raw Material Shortage.
One hardship. which il would be
dinicult to surmOunt. would be a
shortage OF raw materials for the fac
tories n this happened and threw
many out OF work. coming together
with the almost certain Increase In

would be heavily felt Small con.

TOMLIN LEAVES BANK
Accepts Position With Republic Motol
Truck Company, Incorporated.

Mr.. Ray Tomlin, bookkeeper with
the First State Bank of this city, re-
signed his position several days ago
to take effect November 1st. Mr..
Tcmlin on Wednesday Of this week
accepted a position rendered to him
by the Republic Motor Truck Comany
Inc, of this city, and is now at work
in the offices of this company
Mr.. Tomlin has been with the First
State Bank for a considerable over
four years, and has proven to be a
capable and accurate bookkeeper. His
close attention to his work made him
a most valuable employe of the First
State Bank, and brought him to the
attention of the Republic company,
which is looking out for such men as
Mr.. Tomlin. The position rendered
the young man at the Republic is a
good one, and considerably better
than the one at the bank.
The officials at the bank are casting
around for a suitable successor for
Mr.. Tomlin, but as yet no one has
been selected for the place which re-
quires the most careful and accurate
work. Over a score of applications
have been made for the position from
which the successor to Mr. Tomlin
will probably be chosen.

H. N. CROOKS IS
COLLEGE PRESIDENT
Inaugurated on Wednesday with Host of Educa-
tional Men from All Parts of the Country
Present at the Affair.

mobiles, but that one man could no
make world peace, leaving in the
minds of the audience that colleg,
students working towards that end
, might be able to do it.
President j. Campbell White OF
The College of Wooster. took the sub
ject from the standpoint of WorlC
Wide Movements. The college stu.
dents are organized for Christian
work he stated. that they expect q
power in leading to the Christian
life, and that they keep their eyes or
the world tasks. The student volun.
teer movement, world wide, for the
betterment Of humanity, is one proof
of this. Thinking in religious con-
tributions the college put forth the
mightiest forces in the world.
At the evening session with DR..
kane, president of Olivet, presiding
the general theme, What Should the
American Public Expect of the De-
rominational College ?" was discussed
by President Hutchins of Michigan
President Mcclure of Mccormick
seminary. President Hutchins took
the subject from the expectations in
aiding to meet the problems of the
commonwealth. He said in part that
the college was an essential part of
the educational machinery of the com
monwealth TO the denominational col
lege could not be over estimated; !;
that the college offered opportunities
of the first order in general know
ledge and culture The college. he
stated, fitted men for public service
and citizenship, that they nodded for
ces, and taught its students to make
sacrifices for the public good. and
that the college professor has the
best opportunities for impressing the
need Of broad views and the need of
good character building.
In taking up the subject from the
expectations in religious education,
President G.. J. X Mcclure of Nc
Cormick seminary, said in part that
the college did four things: First,
Alliance created with Christian life.
Second, loyalty TO convictions taught.
Third, mastership of intellect, taught.
Fourth, assistance given to world
needs. In summing up these four
facts, he called attention to the fact
that the first letter from each of these
spelled Alma. He also told Of the way
ne had watched Alma and its many
students that have taken up religious
work.
A general theme, What Equipment
is Necessary for the work 2" was dis
cussed by President w. w. Boyd Of
the Western College for Women, and
President Diclie Of Albion. Boyd
took the subject from the view Of
equipment needed In endowments and

BUY SITE FOR
SCHOOL BUILDING
Voters of School District Ex-
press Desire to Purchase
East Side Property.
SPECIAL MEET|NG WAS HELD
New School Will be Needed Soon
if City of Alma Keeps up
Its Present Pace.

At a special meeting of the elec-
tors OF the fractional school district
OF Pine River and Arcadia held last
week Thursday evening in the Alma
high school auditorium. the school
board was empowered by the voters
of the district to borrow 81 200, with
which to purchase a school site at the
corner of Republic and Eastward
streets.
AS usual the number that turned
out to the school board meeting was
very small, only thirty-one voters
from the entire school district being
present TO vote on a 1,200 PROPOSE
tion in which some hundreds are in
terested The vote on the PROPOSE
tion to empower the board to borrow
$1,000 to purchase the ground was
carried by vote of % TO 9.
The proposition which was first put
up TO the school board was to give the
board two lots free of all charge, but
when the owners of the subdivision
found that two would be far too small
for school, they offered to sell four
others to the school board for 81 200.
giving the board nearly three-fourths
of an acre Gust two square rods
short for school lot
With the local schools crowded it is
being felt in many quarters that with
in year the school board must begin
to think about building new school
house, and it is also thought that an
eight room school would not be any
too large. Two rooms could be used
now, and before spring Superintend-
ent Schultz believes that three could
De used owing to the rapid growth of
the city and corresponding growth of
the schools. Within a year all eight
rooms would probably be used with a
growth such as Alma has been enjoy
ing in the past few years.
Just why voters will stay away
from such meetings as this is a mys-
terry. Money was being voted out.
Prehaps the voters were inclined to be-
heve that it should be voted, but it is
well TO call attention to the fact that
il would have taken only three more
votes against this proposition to have
defeated it, as it requires a two thirds
vote. The voters should be active
when such propositions come.

BIG EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE
Nationally Known Educators
Held Sessions in Connection
With Inauguration.

The big educational conference oi
college presidents, held here on Tues.
day in connection with Inauguration
of Harry Means Crooks as president
of Alma college, was a big success
from start to finish, but one thing
marring the entire program which
had been arranged.
On Tuesday afternoon session was
held in the Alma college chapel al
which time the general theme, "The
Contribution of the American College
TO Society" was discussed by some
able leaders of well know American
colleges President w. O. Carrier of
Carroll college presided at the after
noon session.
The Contribution in the Field of
Scholarship, was taken by President
John S. Nollen of Lake Forest col
lege. He brought out the fact that
the contribution was large one, from
the fact that the greater portion of
the students in the graduate schools
were college men, and that theologi-
cal seminaries were filled from the
college ranks, and that the college
gave desire for personal attain
ment made for professional talents
and polite learning.
Rev. E. A. McAlpin, president of
The College Board Presbyterian
church, took the subject from the
standpoint of the Contribution in the
Field of Religious Leadership" He
said in part that college were started
to educate for Christian work, that
the Presbyterian college, while Chris
tian is not sectarian, and that il i'm
plants religion in the students. He
also stated that the universities kept
away from teaching religion through
a fear of being called sectarian.
The discussion 'Tn the Field of
Craftsmanship" which was to have
been taken by Governor Woodbridge
N. Ferris, was left out, as the Cover
nor could not be present owing to
state work.
"In Matters of Public Taste" was
the standpoint from which the Hon.
Charles Moore Of Detroit, took up
the subject. In his discussion Mr..
Moore stated that the college trained
the unit to seek the best, and made for
a better humanity, that the college
students are gathered under a true
leadership. One man said he might
be able TO undersell the world In auto

GROWING SOME
Nearly Three Hundred and Fifty
New Houses in Alma.

The fore part of the week a repre-
sentative of the Alma Record, in an
effort to find out just how much the
city was booming, took little run
up and down the various streets of the
city and looked around for new
houses.
II was found that since April 1st,
1916, three hundred thirty-seven new
houses have been built or building,
not counting any that may have been
started since Monday night. This
probably means housing room in this
city for an additional thousand peo-
pie, over those here before April 1st,
and as the city has no empty houses,
we naturally take il that the popu-
lation has been increasing with great
rapidity during the past summer.
Since April 1st, 1916 twenty eight
houses in the city have been remod-
eled and made better residences, which
alone would have been a big improve
ment, had it been done just FIVE sum-
mers ago, when IL was thought that
Alma was dying by inches.

ST. LOUIS HIGH
MEETS DEFEAT
Kimball's Eleven Nearly
Double Score On That
Undefeated Team.
TAKE CRAT|OT COUNTY TITLE
Biggest Crowd That Ever Saw a
High School Game Here
Saw Locals Win.

The undefeated ST. Louis high
school finally took the count, when it
/ bumped up against Coach Kimball's
lads for the second time this year, the
Alma high lads, staging big come
back after seemingly being beaten,
and coping off the game by score
OF % to -, before the largest crowd
that ever saw a high school game
here.
Alma took the ball at the start Of
the game and lost it on downs under
the shadow Of the st. Louis goal. The
ST Louis team carried the ball back
down the field and Fulcher carried it
over on forward pass, going ten
yards after taking the ball He kick
ed the goal
In the second quarter Alma was
started for touchdown, but a pass
went wide, and was intercepted by
fulcher, who carried it to the goal.
The goal kick failed Alma braced
and started heavy mass attack off
tackle that had the St. Louis team go
ing, and smashed down the field and
Campbell went over the line minute
before the half was up on line
smash. Smith failed to kick goal
When the second half started Alma
started also, and in one and half
minutes Howe planted the ball behind
the St Louis goal, making a thirty
yard run for the score. Smith tied
the score by kicking goal Alma
kicked to St Louis and on the sixth
play st. Louis fumbled and Medler
grabbed the leather pill, and went so
yards TO the goal for the third touch
down Smith goaed. Alma twice
had the ball within the ten yard line
before the quarter ended, but both
times lost it on fumbles, after this
touchdown.
In the fourth quarter the locals
plowed through st. Louis in good
style, and on a fourth down on the
fifteen yard line with five yards to
60 Campbell dropped back and sent
the oval spinning over the goal post
on a dropkick, cinching the game.
Coach Kimball deserves consider
able credit for the way the team has
been working Starting the season
with practically nothing he has built
UP a team that has won, except
against two undefeated high schools,
Owosso and Saginaw. and one game
to the st. Louis tea N by three points,
