GET ANOTHER BUNCH
Twenty-Seven More Lads are Hauled
Up for Petty Stealing.

The fore part of the week twenty
seven young Alma lads, many Of them
from among the prominent homes of
the city, were called up before Justice
Mann, and given about as severe a
lecture as they care to hear for a long
time. The lecture came as a result of
stealing fruit from various places, it
Is said.
1t seems that in one place the lads,
made away with all the grapes from
an arbor in the northern part of the
city. and Oscar Vibber was called i'm
and asked the lads to report to
Justice Mann, which they did. Justice
Mann took the names of the twenty
seven lads in addition to giving them
a lecture, and asked that they pay for
the grapes, which they had taken from
one place.
This is the second time in two
weeks that Justice Manns office has
been crowded with young Alma lads
for such things, and many has been
the time since the first Of the year.
While il is all right for boys to be
full Of life, they should and must re
spect the rights OF others Sooner
or later, r such actions do not cease,
some Of these lads will find them
selves placed in a serious light

HAS THE PROMISE OF
A STRONG AGGREGATION
Alma College Team Promises to
be One of the Strongest
That Alma has Had.

With Il week and half of practice
the Alma college football team is be
ginning 10 take shape, and all indi-
cations are pointing to a winning br-
gade for the Maroon and Cream this
fall, and at worst a team that cannot
fall far short Of the Michigan Inter
collegiate honors.
Coach Helmer has been putting in
some hard licks with his material.
and the results of good hard work and
coaching are beginning to manifest
themselves in Helmer's hopefuls. Not
since 1912, has Alma had such prom
Using bunch of material from which
to whip "A team, and the new Alma
Mentor is making every effort to get
the material into the best of shape
for the opening game of the season,
a week from Saturday with Michigan
State Normal
Nearly a dozen old men are back
and out for the team, together with a
fine bunch of recruits, several of
whom look like budding college stars
Some of the old men are very liable
to find themselves located on the
sidelines, when the first team gets
into action, although they may see
enough play before the season is
over, to again entitle them to letters.
Of the new men, who are looking
like winners, Hoolihan, the former
Mt. Pleasant Normalite, is easily the
shining light. Hoolihan has a posi-
tion cinched probably at half. Ed.
Foote of Grand Ledge is another
promising young giant, who bids fair
tc take half back position Bara-
bou, also of Grand Ledge, should be
able to take a strangle hold on one of
the guard stations. At present it
looks as if Sullivan of Coldwater
would lead in the race for the quarter
back job
This list of four may be the total
number of men who will find posi-
tions with the opening Of the season,
leaving the other jobs for the old men.
Richards and Foote are likely to hold
down the ends. Richards played a re-
markable game there last year, and
foote showed a few flashes of ability
a year ago, when not out because of
injuries. Captain Johnston and French
are fixtures at the tackle positions,
which both have played for two years,
and Miller is again certain of his
guard position. McAuley at center
and Fitch at fullback promise to com
plete the first team lineup.
Spooner, and Chet Robinson, both
cid men with plenty Of experience,
will prove valuable subs, as will
Hebert and a new man, Thompson of
Old Mission.
This year IIelmer should have al
team that will average around 175
pounds, and this weight should make
the Alma college team the heaviest
eleven in the VI. l. A A.
The season opens week from Sat
urday with Alma playing the Mich-
gan State Normal at Ypsilanti. Nit
chell has a tough bunch at the Normal
and the Teachers will put up a hard
fight Alma. however, is expecting
that her pets will fog the Teachers in
good shape

MARRIED IN ITHACA
Orville Smith and Flossie Boldt Were
Married Last Saturday.

Another Alma couple missed the
customary shower of rice and old
shoes, when Orville ID. Smith and
Flossie c. Boldt slipped quietly out of
the city on Saturday Of last week and
were married.
These prominent young people left
the city late in the afternoon and went
to the county seat, where at 600
o'clock they were united in marriage
by Rev Beebe Of the Ithaca Metho-
dist church As it comes to us, Mr.
Smith had forgotten that witnesses
were needed, and hence was not pre-
pared for this part of the affair, but
couple of Ithaca ladies happened TO
be at the Methodist parsonage
when the wedding took place, and
were easily enticed into acting as wit
nesses for the wedding
Mrs. Smith has been resident of
this city for the past three years, and
during this time has made many
friends here. She is employed at the
local Office of the Wels-F Fargo Express
company, in the capacity of cashier
and has held the same position since
coming to this city.
Mr. Orville Smith has been resi-
dent of Alma for the past two years,
and has been in the employ of the
Republic Motor Truck Co, during
this time in various capacities. He is
now employed in the shipping depart
ment, and holds responsible posi-
tion.
Mr. and Mrs. O. ID. Smith expect to
make Alma their home for the winter
al least. and for a time both will
continue to hold their present posi-
tions.

number of our subscribers who have

the aggregate makes a pretty large
sum. Please give this matter your
