The officers of the Central Michi-
gan Poultry association, which will be
held in this city from December 2Sth
to January lst, inclusive, have just
succeeded in obtaining suitable quar-
ters for the coming event.

show this year, and thus the associa-
tion is assured of ample room in
which TO make proper display of the
many exhibits that are expected to be
here at that time. This will give the
association much greater floor space
than they have had in the past.
1t is expected that within another
week the association will be able to
announce the name Of the Judge and

did his heart good to see Alma's
sashing attack in this game.
Kalamazoo came to Alma the fol
lowing Saturday with her famous
team, and defeating Alma by the
smallest score of the season. they won
the NJ. !. A. 4. title. The officiating
was not Of the best but they have "a
better team. There is no question AS
10 that They have every right TO the

Last Saturday Alma closed the sea

ieated Alma fought hard, and turned
a bad defeat into a creditable show
ing, when during the last period the
Catholics could not score
During the entire season Alma has
scored - more points than have been

than any VI. L. 4. \. team can Show,
except the champions from Kalama-

est and hardest schedule Of any team

Alma and Olivet played VI. a. c., and
only Alma played Notre Dame, one
of the finest teams in the middle west,
a team that has been beaten once this
year and that once by the Army

1t was great disappointment wher
her early engagement here was post

great attention to her, far and wide.
while her many lectures are only in

SCHOOL DISTRICT
MAY Be CHANGED
There Is Big Desire to Make
the Fractional District
More Compact.
WILL TRY TO GET SCHOOL SITE
School Ground Which Board was
Authorized to Purchase May
he Brought In.

Ii is very probable that within a
short time the fractional school dis
trict No. of Pine River and Arcadia.
IT. which the city of Alma is located,
will be changed greatly, if the various
township boards interested cay be
interested as to the needs of Alma
To the east of the present district
the board is desirous Of adding con
siderable territory and taking in all
that lies between the Fitzgerald road
and the present eastern limit of the
school district.
1t is also probable that other por-
tions of the district will be dropped.
81 that it will more nearly conform
with the law, which says that, "....
and be in as compact a form as may
be-" In several cases, the school dis
trict has been extended TO take in
various farms and leave out others,
so that the limits Of the district do
not make the district in as compact
a form as possible. Rather does il
resemble a congressional district,
Gerrymandered in the neatest possible
fashion
1t is owing to this and nothing
more, that the site chosen for a new
school by the board recently, is not
within the school district. Both north
and the south Of the site, land as far
east as this proposed site is, is within
the school district Yet because of a
whim in someone years ago. this one
particular spot is not in the district.
Had the school district been carved
out right, when it was carved the last
time, this spot would have been within
the district and would be now saving
great deal of trouble and worry.
The township board of Arcadia, it
is understood. has been invited to
confer with the local school board in
regard to a means of Strengthening
cut the tangle, so that the proposed
site may yet be purchased, if it can be
brought into the school district Ii
is hardly thought that there will be
any great difficulty over the matter
Two portions of the district in Arcadia
may also be dropped.
1t is probable that the Pine River
township board will soon receive an
invitation to confer with the local
school board also in view Of getting
some tangles Strengthened out. The
St Louis school district for instance
comes clear TO the Bridge street
bridge in east Alma, and in one place
takes in territory on this side of the
ricer, just east Of the bridge This
must be changed and brought into
the local district if the fractional dis
troit No. /. Pine River and Arcadia
is to be in as compact form as may
be. Also north of the city, the school
district limits are extended TO take in
two farms, and then drop back again
While the school board is at the
proposition it would be well to clean
the matter up entirely, and get the
district limits the way that they
should be. 1t may save trouble il
future years However, the matter
is in the hands of the board, to do that
which they think best, and they vii
work out the problem as best they
can

&c win the Michigan intercollegiate
championship
There are two big reasons why.
First. Kalamazoo college has a foot
ball team this year which is an execp-
tonal team for the Michigan college
circle, and it has been years since
the NJ l. a. A. has seen a team that
could defeat the 1916 champions. with
the lone exception of the all-Star
team that Alma put forth in 1912.
Alma this year cannot compare with
the exceptional team put forth by
the champs.
Alma has a team that in an ordinary
year would have won the champion
ship. Alma was defeated by Albion
that is true. but all observers still
bold the belief that Alma has "a bet
ter team than Albion, and should have
defeated Albion by from three TO five
touchdowns. Comparative scores.
throughout the NJ J. A. A. will show
that this belief, which has been held
al year, is founded on something
more tangible than hot air That
Alma didn't defeat Albion is football
luck Albion caught Alma on the
one day, when she could turn the
trick Comparative scores. other
than the one Albion game, show Alma
have been far the best of any team,
excepting Kalamazoo college. 1t has
been season when dope has run
true TO form Right from the start.
it was certain that Kalamazoo college
was the one team 70 be beaten. AL
bion was not considered at all as "A
team that would be a serious con
tender The beating that Kalamazoo
gave Albion shows that this consider
alton of Albion was not far wrong. as
/ Kalamazoo defeated Albion the worst
Of all the NJ |. a. 4. teams.
Starting the season, things looked
good for Alma Ypsi Normal was
walloped IS to o. and by the way the
only other defeat that Ypsi suffered
was at the hands Of Kalamazoo col
loge YpSi was strong and known to
/ be strong, making Alma's stock climb
At VI. \. c.. Alma held the Farm
ers 33 to 0. or seven points better than
did Olivet. In past season NJ. A. G..
i had trimmed Alma far worse than
! Olivet. yet Alma managed TO be a
contender in the NJ /. 4. a. and give
I Olivet good battle. 1t promised well
for the Olivet game and dope held
true to that extent again.
The Mt Pleasant Normal. which had
planned on defeating Alma was given
TWO rude shocks. when Alma tumbled
their hopes ~ to 0 and 80 to o in
two games.
Alma went to Albion and dope had
II that Alma would win Hardly y
person would credit the report that
came back, Albion 20. Alma 10. The
men on their returned acknowledged
that they had played their poorest
game and that ordinarily Alma would
have won from this same Albion
team. Ii seemed that NJ. |. A. A. dope
had suffered big upset. Rather was
it that Alma was far off form on that
one particular day. Everything else
during the season goes TO show that
this was true that Alma was capable
of defeating the team that took sec
ond in the race.
The NJ. A. c. Scrubs taken on in
place of Adrian had good team,
but could not stand the pace with
Alma's eleven, week after the AL
bion game and they fell by count OF
27 TO z, before the terrific Alma on
