GETS GOOD PUBLICITY
The Continent Calls Alma. the College
That Grew From the Pines.

A story of Alma college from its
start down to the present appeared
in the Continent for October 18th, in
which Alma college is called, THE
College that Grew from the Pines
The article deals with the growth
that the Presbyterian institution has
enjoyed since it opened its doors thir-
ty years ago; with its situation in the
heart of Michigan; with its buildings;
It's grounds; its aspirations and its
present day needs.
Its present day needs brings out the
endowment campaign which is now
under way, and the need that the col
lege has for the money that it is seek
ing to raise Alma college aspires to
have a new gymnasium, new science
hall and a presidents residence, be
sides adding great deal of new
equipment for which there has been
felt a big want. Alma college needs
these things, and to obtain them needs
money
The article in the Continent on
Alma college took up three pages and
IT was illustrated by nine pictures
from around the college.

HOLD THE AGGIES
TO A LOW SCORE
Helmer's Men Put up a Great
Fight Against Big Odds
Make Fine Showing.

Playing a hard game the Alma col
lege football team held the NJ. y. {.
aggregation to a score of 33 to 0 last
Saturday. this being the smallest
score that the Aggies have been able
to pile up in -four seasons, on the
Maroon and Cream, and it gives Alma
the promise Of team that will wage
a merry warfare in the effort to
bring the NJ. l. A. A. football title to
Alma college.
Not since the memorable team of
1912. has Alma sent a team against
the Aggies, which scrapped as hard or
more consistently than did the Maroon
and Cream last Saturday. Weakened
with quarterback Malcom Smith out
OF the game, the eleven put up a
great scrap, and time and again held
the heavy Farmer eleven for downs.
Once the Aggies hit the two yard
stripe with first down. This gave
them four downs to carry the ball
over for "A touchdown, but the Maroon
and Cream piled the Aggie host of
Coach Sommer in heap four sue
cessive times, between the two yard
mark and the goal, and took the ball
on downs. Over dozen times during
the struggle did Alma pile up the
Aggies within the required ten yards.
On offense Alma put up a good
game, but twice errors in judgement
in calling for forward passes at the
wrong time, aided the Farmers in
stead Of Alma. Twice under the
shadow of Alma's own goal, passes
were called for and twice they were
intercepted, one by Farmer Frimodig,
who Immediately placed the oval back
of the goal. Two touchdowns that
the Aggies made, were started from
Alma passes, so that the Maroon and
Cream really played the NJ. A. c.
eleven to about 20 to 0 score.
Coach Helmer's men played as clean
game as they did hard game.
Only once during the entire contest
was Alma penalized, and this once,
was given only five yards for offside.
NJ. A. c. was penaized S5 yards, the
penalties coming from offside, hold
ing, etc.
The main points of the Alma de-
fense were Captain Eddie Johnston
and Hooihan, the Alma halves. Both
men put up strong game and won
the admiration of the Aggie rooters.
The rest of the Alma machine showed
up in fine style, also, giving every
evidence of team that should batter
its way to the front of the Michigan
Intercollegiate ranks.

BIG RAPIDS AND
ALMA FIGHT TIE
Men of kimball's Fight Like
Tigers and Teams Each
Score Just Once.

Playing like bunch Of tigers the
Alma high school football team held
the strong Big Rapids team to an
even score last week Friday, the count
being to Z when the time was up.
The game was played on the Big
Rapids field which made it the harder
foi the locals.
Coach Kimball's men played bril-
liant game right from the start, and
early in the struggle took lead
which was held until the closing mo-
ment of the game. when the Big
Rapids team just showed counter
over, and came within inches of not
getting it at all.
Alma started the game with "A
slashing attack that carried the ball
fan past the center field, almost to the
Big Rapids thirty yard line. when
Howe broke away, and stopped only
after having placed the oval behind
the line, making a hard angle from
which to kick goal. Standing just
three yards from the sidline Smith
made one of the prettiest plays of the
day when he booted the ball squarely
between the goal posts, for what at
terward proved to be the one point
needed to give Alma a tie with the
Big Rapids team. 1t is seldom that
a goal is made from such an angle.
From this time on the game was a
pretty fight as one could wish for.
The two teams battled back and forth,
UP and down the field, from one thirty
yard line to the other, and then back
again, with neither apparently getting
any advantage over the other. except
before the end of the third quarter.
This came when Howe got away from
the field for second time, and crossed
the Big Rapids goal. An Alma man
was off side on the play, and the
touchdown was lost to Alma.
In the fourth quarter the two teams
went at it again, harder than ever
with the Alma team fighting desper-
ately to keep its goal clean and with
the Big Rapids men just as determined
to shove the ball over for touch
down. Just before the game ended
Big Rapids slashed and smashed its
way through the Alma eleven, and on
a fourth down just managed to place
the ball on the Alma goal Two in
ches less and the attempt at goal
would have been a failure Facing
defeat if the try at goal was not made,
Banner of Big Rapids used his best
effort and the ball sailed over the
bar, making the score tie, as it
should have been after the way the
two teams battled evenly for almost
an hour.
Howe, Campbell, Smith and Rich
ards starred for Alma. Banner was
the big noise for Big Rapids.

Our sister city of ST. Louis seems

fact the many workmen from the Re

HOME RULE AMENDMENT
Ontains Joker Which is Intended
TO Mislead the Voters.

The socalled Home Rule" amend
ment. which is up before the people
at the November election is a clever
piece Of work. which if passed will
work greatly to the benefit of the
liquor interests in Michigan.
A clause reading, "Appropriate
legislation shall be enacted to enforce
and make effective the provisions of
this section, and until such egsla-
ton is enacted existing local option
and regulatory laws on this subject
shall continue in force but no exist
ing law Inconsistent with the provis-
ions of this section shall continue in
force after January /, 1919"
Do you get the result of this
clause? Afraid that prohibition.
statewide, will carry in Michigan. this
home rule amendment is doped up
for you to swallow If the people Of
Michigan pass the amendment for
prohibition and also pass this home
rule amendment, it will knock out pro-
hibition in Michigan entirely, and
ard leave Michigan entirely wet after
January lst, 1919. Why? Simply
because the amendment for prohibi-
ton would be Inconsistent with
measure taking effect after the prohi-
bition measure goes into effect
Not only that, but fail to pass the
prohibition amendment and after
January lst, 1919, Michigan would be
entirely wet. if this measure meets
the approval of the voters. Why?
Local option is inconsistant with this
amendment as we have local option
sin Michigan.
All this just to show you that the
socalled Home Rule" amendment
contains a little joker, that you are
not supposed to know about, until
after you vote. Someone picked il
out and it is now known in advance,
and you have it before you just as il

FIND |NFANT|LE
PARALYSIS HERE
Domestic Was Taken With
This Disease on Tuesday
of This Week.
FIRST CASE IN GRATIOT CO.
No Cause for Alarm is the Word
Which has Been Given
Out by Doctors.

A case of infantile paralysis was
discovered here on Tuesday Of this
week. and all possible precautions
were Immediately taken by the au-
tkorities to check any possible spread
of the disease.
Miss Louise Basinger of ST. Louis,
a domestic at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Malcolm McLaren on West Cen
tel street, who has been working in
this city for only three weeks, is the
victim. Doctors called to the place
on Tuesday pronounced it to be a
genuine case of infantile paralysis.
The young girl, only sixteen years
old, had been here but a short time,
and had previously worked in the
home of Or. Barstow in st. Louis. On
Wednesday of this week she was tax
en- 10 the pest house, where she is be-
ing given all possible care and atten-
ton. 1t is not thought that the case
is bad attack, and hopes are high
that the young girl will recover.
There is no need for worry over
the breaking out of this case here. 1t
is very seldom that ease breaks out,
late in the year after the weather
gets cool, and the flies leave. Infan-
tile paralysis Is said to be contracted
through bodily contact or through the
carrying Of secretions by flies
1t has been given out that there is
10 cause for alarm over the continued
teaching of the Misses McLaren, as
from the time the girl was taken i'll
they did not go near her, and since
have taken precautions advised by
local doctors after being in communi-
cation with the state board of health.
Everything advised by the state
board of health has been followed with
the utmost care, so that there is no
danger whatever from the disease.

j. LEE POTTS
For Judge of Probate

Words of praise for the work that
Probate Judge j. Lee Potts has done
during his term would be idle
words, as the entire county is familiar
with the excellent record that he has
been making. He is perhaps, the best
versed of any of Michigan's probate
judges on the law which has done
away with much useless litigation in
the many estates that have come un-
der his charge.
Good judgement, kindness and a
rare sympathy have made him in
valuable to the entire county through
his handling of the juvenile criminal
cases which have come before him.
He has handled these cases in a most
painstaking manner, sitting them to
the bottom, getting right down to
the truth in them and handling them
thereafter most carefully, winning
back to good citizens many lad, who
had started astray.
