NEW FACTORY
FOR THIS CITY
Stock Enough Sold to Insure Big
100000 Paint Factory
Coming to Alma.
BOARD OF TRADE WILL ACT
Expected That the Company Will BE
tied Up by Board Before
Saturday Night.

That the next week will see a deal
closed by the Alma board OF trade
which will bring 10 Alma a company
with capital of 100000 is almost II
certainty now, and it is expected that
the consummation Of the deal will
come not later than the last of this
week The new concern which il is
proposed to have locate in this city
is paint factory, which has been
turning out a product which has been
most favorably received by the public
and which is giving the most salts
factory service where it has been
tried out.
1t had been announced some time
ago that Alma could secure such a
factory if a certain amount OF the
stock Of the company could be sold
tc the residents Of this city and a few
of the enterprising and loyal boosters
OF Alma got busy and went after
stock subscriptions so that the city
might have the concern. II is report
edthat the stock in the paint com
pany is now almost all disposed of,
and about all that is now needed is
scme official action on the part of the
beard of trade to bring the matter to
focus.
A meeting of the board will be
called tonight and the proposition
ironed out and coupled with Alma.
Just how many men this plant eX
poets to employ has not been given
out as yet, nor has the name Of the
paint company been divulged by those
Interested in the proposition, as il is
desired To get the matter all settled
before these matters are made public.
1t is certain, however, that "a com
pany with capital Of 100000 viii
be big asset TO the city Of Alma.
and continue TO send Alma further
on the high course to prosperity and
growth, which will rival that of other
wonder cities of Michigan, if the pa
trotic residents of Alma continue TO
stand behind and push for better
Almn when the pushing is needed to
secure such industries

LECTURES ON WAR.
Prof Cation Gave Three War Lee
lures at High School

On Monday and Tuesday three lee
turcs On the present war were given
in the high school auditorium by Prof.
G.. r. Cation. During the last three
months these lectures have been given
to different high schools about four
teen or fifteen times, and have been
most favorably received. They GER
tainly caught and held the attention
ct the young folks in Alma, as well
as the older part of the community
who accepted the invitation to be
present. There has been nothing
startling or sensational about them,
but they were just the thing required
al the present time. Every lecture
wide and careful reading
the sitting Of evidence and the appre-
citation Of different points of view II
il safe to say that the pupils have
now "A much better general view
.Cf all the forces entering into the
present conflict and the part that this
nation is called upon to take. Prof.
Cation has all his life been teacher
and knows just what young people
need. and knows also how to put that
before them. Whenever he comes to
Alma in the future he will be sure of
a welcome. A very pleasing feature
of the time was the unanimity with
which school yell" was taken up
and given by all the pupils for the
lecturer. who had so wildly brought
hcme TO them the nature Of the forces
