SEWER ISSUE DEAD
Sewer Bonding Proposition Will moi
Come up Again.

1t is said that the sewer bonding
proposition. which the voters of
Alma recently passed by large vote,
only to have it declared void, will not
come up before the voters a second
time for their ratification. The rea-
son for this is not through any fear
on the part of the city officials that
the measure would not pass.
At a recent special election held in
August at the time of the primaries.
the citizens voted by about 6 TO l to
bond for $4,000 to extend the sew
err system of the city throughout its
corporate limits. thing which was
badly needed, owing to the rapid
growth of Alma and the big demand
for sewers.
The laws governing sewer PROPOSE
tions contain kinkles, which rather
kinkled around the Alma bond issue,
but which would not have interfered
with the validity of the bonds once
they had been sold to an innocent
purchaser, it seems. The bonding
company's attorney was aware of this
fact. so that the company could
not be an innocent purchaser of the
bonds, according to reports, and tn,
whole thing fell dead.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Public School Students Have Narrow
Escape.

A serious accident was narrowly
averted one-half mile north of North
Star village at about ten O'Clock last
Saturday evening. when the car In
which they were riding turned turtle
and pinned the occupants beneath
the wreckage.
Four students of Alma high school
j. Dale, son of Joe Grover, Bradley,
son Of Joe Sartor, Jr., Florence Selby
and Decola Townsend the two latter
daughters of prominent North Star
citizens were enjoying ride in a new
Studebaker owned by Joe Grover
S3rtor. who was at the wheel and
driving at about l5-mile speed, lost
control and the ear landed on it's top
in the ditch, which fortunately, was
not more than five feet deep at this
place. Grover was the first to extri-
cate himself, being obliged to divest
himself of overcoat to crawl through
the small space available, and ran
to a nearby farm house whose occu-
pants summoned help by telephone
from North Star.
Nodl anu Aiioo p'ibN III th'
time had managed TO crawl from be-
meath the wreck. A crowd soon ar
rived and lifted the car sufficiently to
allow Miss Townsend, who was held
fast, to free herself.
Drs Pankhurst and Crane, assisted
by Mrs. Pankhurst and Miss Coral
Mertens cared for the injuries Of the
young people Miss Townsend re-
ceived bruises about the chest and on
the back, Miss Selby slight cut on
the face, Sartor portion of the
muscle torn from the shoulder blade,
and Grover a badly bruised face and
cuts on the chin and on the leg.
Mr.. Grover, who had been notified
by telephone went to North Star and
brought the boys home.
Sunday, with the help of about thir
ty North Star citizens the car was
righted and after being given supply
of gasoline was driven on its own
merits to Alma by Mr. Grover, al
though the body was almost COM
plete wreck.

A THANKSGIVING POEM.


TIME sun hath shed its kindly light
Our harvesting 10 gladly DER.
Our fields have felt no killing
- blight
our bins are filled with goodly
store.
We feel that mad our merits been
The measure OF thy gifts 10 US
We. erring children born OF sin.
Might not now be rejoicing thus.
No deed OF ours hath brought US grace
When thou vert nigh our sight was dull.
We hid in trembling from thy face
But thou. O God. vert nerciful.
Thy mighty hand Ger all the land
Hath still been open to bestow
Those blessings which our wants demand
From heaven. whence al blessings now.
Thou hast. with ever watchful eye.
Looked down on us with holy care
And from thy stoiehouse In the sky
Hast scattered plenty everywhere.
Then lift we up our songs OF praise
To thee, O Father. good and kind.
To thee We consecrate our days.
BE thine the temple of each mind.
Before thy works our powers pail.
Though we should strive years without
end.
We could not thank thee for them all.
Paul Laurence Dunbar
