A wELL-GUARDED MACHINE

A well guarded machine is called a
safe" machine, but the element of
human nature enters somewhere into
the condition and safety of every ma
chine. A we'll guarded machine may
be smashed up and someone injured
by an unsafe man. An unguarded
machine may be used for years by a
perfectly safe man and no accident oc-
cur. The ideal economic and indus
trial condition is every machine
guarded and every man safe" While
we are using our inventive genius to
protect the workingman from ac-
cidents, let us also endeavor TO edu-
cate and train the man to be always
fit for his job. He would thus be cap
able of working with machinery with
safety. For instructions and hints
along this line attend the Safety and
Efficiency institute held in this city
next week. Public invited, admission
free.

MANY BICYCLE OFFENDERS
City Ordinance Not Observed in City
Warrants May BE Sworn Out

Unless bicycle riders regard more
carefully the city ordinance relative
to the riding of bicycles on the side
walks there may be several warrants
sworn out this week. This is the
statement made by citizens living in
all parts of the city. 1t is said that
bicycle riders pay no heed to the city
ordinance and on some Of the city
streets it is dangerous not only for
children who play on the walks, but
for pedestrians to use them. While
there may be some reason for riders
using the walks when the unpaved
streets are muddy, there can be no ex-
cuse for people clearing the walks TO
allow a bicyle rider to pass when the
roads are i'm as fine a condition as at
present is the opinion OF those who
IRE making the complaints. The Of
lenders are not confined to boys, but
many OF our prominent citizens, it is
said, enjoy speeding down the smooth
cement walks, and in fact make it a
regular practice.

BOARD TO INVESTIGATE
Pine River Included in Sanitary Sur
vey of State Rivers

A complete sanitary survey OF
Pine river will be made by the state
board of health during the summer
months according TO an official an
ouncement coming from the depart
,lent at Lansing. 1t is probable that
the work will be started about Aug.
1st, as the larger rivers will be in
spected first. The river systems
which are to be studied thoroughly by
the state sanitary experts include the
Saginaw and its tributaries, the Kali
amazoo, the ST. Joseph, the Muskegon,
the Rouge, the Huron and the Raisin.
The inspection will be carried on by
members of the state board of health
and several professors from the Uni
versity of Michigan.
For several years the state board
of health has considered making a sur
vey of the river systems of the state,
but until this year have never taken
seriously the many complaints coming
to the state Office regarding the con-
ditions existing throughout the state,
especially in those localities where
water supply is procured from rivers.
The state department believes that
such survey will reveal the cause
of considerable of the summer sick
ness prevalent throughout the state.
The first week in August, the date
when the inspection will probably
commence on Pine river, will fine the
river system in the worse condition
of the year. At present the water is
decreasing daily last week dropping
almost two feet. The board Of in
spection will find ample room for
complaint.

CITY MAY GET SLICE OF
PORK WORTH $4,000
Public Buildings Bill Includes
Appropriation for Build
ing Site

If the omnibus public buildings
bill, authorizing the construction of
public buildings throughout the coun-
try, which was recommended to the
house for passage succeeds in getting
through without quietus from the
president, Alma will be among the sew
eral cities in Michigan to secure a
slice of the S35,000,0O0 appropriation.
The amount mentioned in the bill for
Alma was $4,000 to be used in Sc
curing a site for new postoffice
building.
The report on the measure was in
direct defiance to the wishes of Pres
ident Wilson who several months ago
announced that no public buildings
bill was to be passed at this session
of congress next winter.
This city has been endeavoring to
get the ears of some influential per-
sons down in Washington for several
years, but all efforts proved TO no
avail until last spring when com
mittee of citizens together with rep
resentatives from the local post Office
force called on Congressman Fordney
at his home i'm Saginaw and asked
him to assist in securing an appro-
.priation for this city. The commit
tee asked for building but the news
from Washington indicates that Mr..
Fordney was not successful to that
extent at this time. If the bill
passes the next congress the best the
government could possibly do would
not give this city a building before
1918. Meanwhile the business Of the
local Office is increasing every quarter
and a congestion is sure to come If
the present conditions continue.

GREAT ALLIED DRIVE IS
EXPECTED TO BRING END
First Three Weeks of Drive
Gives Allies FOOthOlds on
All Fronts

The first three weeks of the allied
drive shows conclusively that the
crucial weeks in the history of the
great conflict that is wide spread over
the Old World have arrived, and that
it is only matter of time now until
some unexpected turn of affairs will
mark the beginning of the end. By
many critics the drive which the AL
lies have been carrying on with such
great success is thought to be the
final and last blow. If the Allies con-
tinue their unprecedented smashes
something has got to bend before
them. If the Central Powers are able
to stay off the attacks of the com
bined forces of the British, French
and Russians it is impossible to say
when the end will come. In London
there is a feeling prevailing among
the diplomatic circles that the Allied
drive will bring the end and the
Germans in Berlin are just as de-
termined in their assertions that they
will be able to withstand the assault.
The next week will indicate what
truth there is for making these
statements.
1t is given out officially from Ber-
lin as well as from London that the
Anglo French troops have captured
25 villages and reconquered 60 square
miles of French territory since the
opening up of the drive the last of
June. The French troops have pene-
trated to the Germans second line
trenches and are within one mile of
Peroone, the immediate objective
point. The French advance has been
slightly over six miles. The wond-
erful offensive of the English during
the drive has netted practically four
miles in the vicinity of Baqaume
where they have driven the Germans
back into their second line trenches
at one point. They are now within
seven miles of Baqaume and latest
press account indiate that the John
nies are still determined in their
efforts to date the turning point of
the war from this drive.
The loss of life on both sides has
been terrible. The German official
estimates place the actual number
killed from 5000 to $4,000, while the
Allies say that this number is only
two-thirds of their estimate. There
has been no announcement of the
number of killed on the side of the
Allies, but the German critics say in
their reports that the loss has been
"frightful." More than 10000 Ger
man prisoners have been taken.

Proposed Extension to Water
and Sewerage Systems
to Use this Amount.
COUNCIL WANTS BOND ISSUE
Will be Submitted 10 Voters in
Near Future-BOard of
Trade Backs Council

The common council sitting in spec
ial session, Tuesday evening, reach
ed a definite decision regarding the
need of certain Improvements in the
water and sewerage systems of the
city after listening TO information
gathered in an investigation by a
special committee relative TO the pres
ent system and the probable cost of
installing new equipment and extend
ing the pipe lines in the city. The
decision was an emphatic affirmative
vote for everything that the com
mittee recommended and the proper
authorities were told to proceed to
formulate the necessary resolutions
that must be submitted to the people
on a proposition of the nature.
The actual plans that Mayor Nc
Kinney and the council have been
| working on for several months in
clude an extension of the sewerage
system and water mains throughout
the city, the construction Of a munich
pal water power plant and the ex-
penditure of reasonable amount OF
money TO give the city healthy water
supply. The extension of the sewer
age and water systems while incor-
porated in the plan has not taken
the attention of the council and the
mayor so much as the improvement OF
the water supply of the city. In
speaking of the water situation Mayor
Mckinney put it in this way:
"The water that this city has flow.
ing through its water mains is a dis
grace and if Alma ever expects to
become of any Importance steps have
got to be taken to right this wrong
when the city is small, when the cost
can be reduced TO a minimum
Throughout the state i'm our investi.
cation we have found towns and cities
not as important as this city forcing
clean and healthy water through the
water mains. They have their own
water power plants and secure the
supply from wells. With the supply
of water found in this city there is
no need to fear the success of this
plan. If we continue using the river
water contaminated as it is no one
knows how soon the city will be in
the grip of epidemic"
Previous to the council meeting rep
resentatives of the Board of Trade
met with the aldermen and informally
discussed the plans suggested by the
mayor and his assistants. The plans
were heartily endorsed and the council
given TO understand that their efforts
in making any of the improvements
would receive the support of the BOARD
of Trade.
The amount of money needed to
complete the necessary improvements
included in the plans of the mayor
and council will probably reach $780,
600 in round numbers. This sum is
divided into three allotments giving
$4,000 for sewerage extension, $40,-
600 for water pipe extension and $780,
600 for a city water supply and the

Despite Heat Wave Real Es-
tate Men and Contractors
are Kept "On the Job"
SO HOUSES NOW BUILDING
Many Families Forced to Oc-
cupy Tents-City Grows
Eastward

That this city is experiencing
boom that will intimately place her
among the cities. of the state is in
dicated by the reports and state
ments given out this week by local
real estate dealers and contractors,
which show a vast increase i'm bust
ness during the year and give prom
ise of what is bound to come in the
near future. During the past six
months the total amount of business
passing through the local real estate
Office in round numbers aggregates
100000. The real estate market re-
mains firm and prices are higher than
they have ever been in the city
Rents and prices for lots and homes
are expected to soar still higher as
the demand increases. The average
price for a regulation lot in the most
desirable locations is placed at $500.
1t is reported that lots have sold for
$500 and $500 and as high has 500.
In one instance two lots drew a check
for $1,000.
While most business men have been
endeavoring to find relief from the
torture of the suns rays during the
past few weeks, real estate men and
contractors have been sweltering in
hot and close offices in an effort to
keep apace with the ever increasing
amount of business. Reports from
every real estate Office in the city
and from contractors state that their
business has doubled during the past
three months; and with the announce
ment made recently of an increase in
factory buildings in the city, the bus
mess of the summer and fall months
will reach an aggregate that is hard
ly imaginable in city of this size.
/ 1t is the consensus of opinion
among real estate leaders that the
present condition is just the fringe
of the boom that is sweeping over
this city. While the population has
increased most a quarter in the last
twelve months and more houses have
been erected in a month than in any
previous year heretofore real estate
and contractors, who are keeping
close tap on the boom proposition,
are laying their plans for the actual
beginning year from now. To
what extent they are correct in their
conjectures is a matter that tan be
judged to a certain extent by the
condition prevailing throughout the
city at present. No estimate can be
put on the size of the boom in money
or house building until the first few
months have been weathered and
positive assurance is given that the
boom is here to stay is the statement
of real estate men.
The actual count there are at pres
ent 90 homes being built within the
city limits and with announcements
that half as many are to be commenc-
ed this summer the total number OF
residents that will be completed be-
fore the fall reaches almost the one
hundred fifty mark. The most salts
