Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1918-05-02

The Alma of the past five years speaks in
glowing terms Of what may be expected of
the Alma Of the future. Develop Industrial
~ live up to the new name, alma, the Won
der City Of Michigan and grow, grow more
rapidly in the future than in the past.
1t can be done. What has been done can
be done agan A hustling Board of Trade,
backed solidy by the business men of the
city, can do wonders-can do the seemingly
impossible-the story of AlmaS growth
shows that conclusively.
To bring about this development it must
be remembered that city needs homes for
her workers. Right now this is one of the
crying needs of Alma. Alma even now could
probably use one thousand more homes than
she has, homes of the workingman To de-
velop TO her utmost she must have homes for
for her workers, must be able to show the
prospective manufacturer that his workers
can find locations can locate homes within
the city.
Today there is large overflow from Alma,
an overflow which is being taken care of in
our neighboring cities. Alma must take care
Of her own.
Alma people in carving out their future
as a city, should not overlook this highly inn
portant end Of city making, and developing.
The bonds have already been sold. the De-
troit Trust company being the purchaser.
Three temporary school buildings are also
in use here in addition to the three splendid
school buildings which the city has. One Of
these will be done away with, perhaps two Of
them, by the coming of the new ward school,
the other in the south end Of the city will be
continued, it being needed for the little tots

walk a long distance TO school
Several hundred have been graduated
from the Alma high school, and the records
Of these are such as the city can well be
proud Of the education which she has been
bostowing upon her young. Few have be-
come wealthy. as worldly possessions count
but almost every one of them has become
useful, law abiding citizen leading life of
helpfulness in his or her community. The
fingers of the two hands would count those
who have turned out as n'er-do-wells. Many
Of its graduates are now finding themselves
on the front line trenches in France and in
the training camps Of America. their edu-
cation having decided for them their duty in
this critical hour

One Of the most popular Of the bus
mess places in Alma is the business
home Of Charles X. Murphy, "your
druggist" which is looted right on
the main corner Of the city.

by Mr.. Murphy two years ago. after
sixteen years behind its counters, dur

valuable practical experience TO add
to his years Of education in this work
has peculiarly fitted him 20 be "your

some years.

The X-Cel-All company and the Western

former is the latest addition to the factories
of Alma and is enjoying a business even now

Use for the future, and ii is believed in many
quarters that this concern will make valu-
able asset to the community. The Gratiot
County Gas company, organized here four
years ago, is one of the growing business in
stitutions of the city, piping gas to st. Louis,
Breckenridge and Ithaca, as well as furnish
ing Alma. It has enjoyed a great growth
until Just recently when war prices have
caused the concern to retrench in many re-
spects. It's future is assured, however. once
the war is brought to an end.
The Central Michigan Light & Power com
pany is another concern which found the
lure of progressive Alma too great to resist,

NO MORE PARCELS,
SAYS P. o. ORDER
New Ruling Forbids Sending of Ev-
en- "Rsquisitionsd Material

The following article is clipped
from "The Stars and Stripes" a
pulication which is being published
for and by the soldiers in France, on
date of May oath, for which copy we
are indebted to Fred F. Tyrrell, Q.
M. c., Second Corps School, A. E.
F. France. The article reads as fol-
lows:
"No more parcels from home.
No, not even if you send over a
written request, duly o. KID by you,
c. o. for them. It's new order,
just gone into effect. It's tough,
but it's necessary. The old ruling
whereby you could "requsition" your
family or friends and they could pre-
sent your requisition at their local
post office along with the bundle of
things you asked for-that's gone.
"The reason is, of course, the OBJ
vious one-the United States and its
Allies need all the room they can
possibly get for more men, more
food and ammunition, and then for
more men, more food and more am
munition.
"The order from the Post Office

MAKE A LITTLE MEAT
GO A LONG WAY

"Most people eat more meat than
they need. The reason for this is
that they crave stimulants found in
meat. This craving may be satisfied
without consuming ~ much meat as
ID usually eaten and the dishes pre-
pared may be even more attractive
than those in which much meat is
used, says Magdaline Hahn Bark
ley, of the Colorado Agricultural
College. Mrs. Barkley gives the fol-
lowing method Of extending meat
flavors.

ped meat and . comparatively large
amount Of rice, dumplings, baking

ARVADA TO HAVE A
SOLDIERS DAY SOON

Arvada will have a Soldiers Day
in the near future, if the plans set
upon by the Arvada Community
Club at its meeting Monday evening
can be carried out. The plan origi-
mated with Mr.. Ma oney, who is al
ways awake to the crying needs Of
the hour and of this community.
While Arvada has done many lit
tie things by way of showing her
interest in the great struggle tina!
is being waged, yet there are still
more things that she can do, an
will do, no doubt, when opportunit!
offers, The plan suggested by Mr.
Maloney is that day be set apart
for the purpose Of showing to the
soldier boys and to the world ou'
appreciation of what the boys arc
doing and going to do, for US. Ou,
own boys are far away, but they arc
constantly writing home about thu
great hospitality that is being ex.
tended to them at the various vii
lagos and towns thru which they
pass. So, it is Mr.. Maloney's ides
that we have a sp endid opportun
ity knocking at our door. Over a.
Ft. Logan there are hundreds OF
boys who are far from home and i
is proposed that those who have aut-
omobiles get together on day to bt
agreed upon, at certain hour il
the afternoon, and take as many Of
them as can be taken care of in the
machines for a drive thru the parks
and thence to Arvada and vicinity
where by a prearranged plan they
be taken into the various homes ant
entertained with q spread Of some
kind, just to show the boys that our
hearts are in the right place.
It d suggested that those Of the
citizens who will thus open their
hearts and their homes to these boy.
confer with the committee and work
In conjunction with It. The COM
mittee appointed for this preparat
tion are Mayor Russell, A. L. Davis.
A. H. Barth, w. p. Smith and Josiah
Maloney.
Another thing which was discuss
ed at the Community Club, which it
was thought might be brought
about, was for Arvada to annex the
Coal Creek Canyon and feature il
~ an objective to attract the auto
mobilists, 50 as to bring more people
thru our town. Coal Creek Canon
In many respects, rivals any canon
In easy access to Denver. About
the worst handicap to this beauti-
full canon seems to be its name.
What would anyone expect to find
in . "coal creek? Certainly no
great beauty, but in fact It 10 quite
the reverse, and those who have Wis
tied It once 20 again and again.
II was suggested at the club that
this beautiful canon might be re-
christsnsd and called "Moffat Can.
on" with all impunity, ~ the Moi
fat road crosses It on = picturesque
tresssl near tho mouth, and from
this point can be seen some five or
SIX tunnels, - the tracks climb to
lofty heights above.
Let someone get busy and circu-
late . petition to the proper author

offer any strenuous objections to Il.
