DO THEIR DUTY
Over Five Hundred and Fifty Men at
Republic Take Bonds.

During the past week a big cam
paign for the Liberty Loan Bonds has
been going on at the Republic Motor
Truck plant and it has had great re-
sults-567 men from this great Alma
institution subscribing to the issue 70
aid Uncle Sam i'm his efforts TO hu-
manity.
The reports say that the total
amount OF bonds subscribed is $751;
600, which shows that the men Of AL
ma and the Republic plant know a
worthy cause and are not backward
about their duty to their country.
Five hundred men from this plant
are also registered and are at the call
of the government for the selective
draft.
During the week the company has
given the men every opportunity to
hear representatives of the govern
ment discuss the needs of the country,
at this time, and nearly every man
who could save $l00 or more week
subscribed to the bond issue. There
are no slackers at the Republic Mo
tor Truck plant. All are willing to
do their bit and stand by the men
who go to the front. They would
rather buy bonds at three and one
half per cent than be in bondage
and pay indemnties to German en-
peror. They all will economize, save
and if need be sacrifice their all for
the government.
With the aid of the Republic, Alma
will take nearly its full quota OF
Sl20,OO0 worth of Liberty Bonds
EI Ieryone here feels the responsibility
and is aiding i'm the great work
Those who have not subscribed can
still do so today at either of the AL
ma banks $lO0 down and Sl.00 a
week and upwards for the bigger
bonds. Buy bsd today and do your
bit, if you have not already done so

SENIOR PLAY
High School Seniors to Give The
Man from Home"

The high school senior class will
favor the lovers of good plays by
staging THE Man from Home" next
Monday evening, June 18th, in the
Realty Opera House.
The class of 1917 has chosen a
strictly modern play; play distinct
ly different in action and plot from
most amateur productions. and writ
ten by one of Americas most noted
humorous writers-Booth Harrington.
THE Man from Home" is true
American play, typifying the shrewd
but honest character of the Yankee,
along with that of scandalous trick
cry of European nobility. Like all
of Tarkington's plays. there is an
ever noticeable atmosphere of humor,
intermingled with true Americanism.
The trend of the play is moderately
romantic
Two wealthy orphans. a boy and
girl, under the guardianship of their
family lawyer, leave America for
travel in Europe Immediately upon
their arrival they fall in with an Eng
lish noble and his party, who at once
become interested in the wealth of
the young Americans, which results
in scandalous love affair, instigat-
ed for the purpose of getting the or
phans' money. Everything develops
successfully for the viliany of Eng
lish nobility, until the arrival of the
American guardian, who at once re-
allies the plot and lays his plans to
obstruct it. At this period Of the
play, an escaped Russian fugitive
seeks refuge at the hotel where the
scene is laid, and is protected by the
American guardian, with the assist
ance of a Russian noble. The Eng
lishman, pressing his plot to an alb
rupt finish, finds that this American
rival is breaking the law by shelter
ing the Russian fugitive, and threat
ems arrest if the guardian will not
consent to the scandalous marriages.
/ The American dcfies the Englishman,
despite the overharging threat But
the Russian noble proves TO be the
! Grand Dake. who authorizes the re-
lease Of the Russian fugitive. thus de-
feating the plans Of the English vii
lain. who Immediately leaves. never
t. be heard of again. The two or
phans begin to realize what their
American guardian has done for them
and decide that they have had enough
of European life, finally consenting
to go back to their old home across
the Atlantic and live in the quiet viii
lage of their birth

The preliminary work of organizing
the nations business for war purposes
as accomplished by the old advisory COM
mission and subordinate committees I'M
der the defense council is regarded as
finished. The presidents war chiefs now

and the country's business and maHufac.
