DOLLAR A MINUTE
This is Just What il Cost Conductor
for Holding a Crossing Too Long.

Mr. George Jennings breezed into
the city Saturday on a freight train
Of which he was the conductor. The
train was coming from the north on
the Ann Arbor and when it reached
Alma, MIR. Jennings very considerate-
ly left the train standing on the
tracks, blocking the crossings for
some few moments, moments which
were to prove costly to him.
As result, under new ordinance
which just lately took effect, Mr.. Geo.
Jennings was placed under arrest,
kindly introduced to ID. l.. Johnson,
justice of the peace, to whom he
poured out his tale of woe regarding
the reasons for having blocked the
crossings in violation of this new AL
ma ordinance which says a train shall
not block a crossing for more than
five minutes.
Justice Johnson estimated the time
that the train stood on the crossing
blocking traffic and then made an at
tempt to assess a fine and costs that
would amount to one big round dol
lar for each and every minute that
Mr.. Jennings allowed the train to
stand on the crossing. The net re-
suit was Sl0.25 less in the pocket of
Mr.. Jennings, as he paid the fine and
costs.

Hence, he started the ball rolling,
and then just kept right on keeping
it rolling. He made all Of the ar
rangements for the affair, and then
saw that things went along just as
planned.
In order to add interest to the
affair he promised a percentage of
the money to the various organiza-

a check for S25 as result. Not only

GET INCREASES
Post Office Department Advances
Pay of Its Employees.

Through a new act which has just
gone into effect the employees Of the
Alma post Office, except Postmaster
Cash, will receive increases in salar-
les to the amount of $4,000 per year.
The act provides that employees
whose salaries are under the sum Of
81, 100000 shall receive this increase.
Those who are slated for advances
without the law going into effect will
not receive this increase this year,
according to Postmaster Cash, as the
law specifies that no employe be Civ

PAID FINES
viOlators of Ordinance Paid Fines
Tuesday in Justice Court.

Two rather well known men Of the
city were arrested Monday evening by
one of the officers Of the city, charged
with having violated the ordinance
against expectorating on the side
walks of the city, and paid fines as a
result
When taken into justice court, be
fore d. l.. Johnson, Tuesday the men
spoke in rather loud tones, regarding
their opinions of the police force,
which would enforce such ordinances,
but nevertheless they were glad to
pay the small fines and costs which
were handed out to them to avoid
further trouble.
Some people seem to entertain an
idea that ordinances are passed just
so they will have something to break
and that they should be exempt from
being scored for breaking them.

FORM "A RABBIT
CLUB IN ALMA
Boys and Girls of this City Will
Raise Rabbits as Means of
Conserving Meats.

A Rabbit Project club has been
formed for Alma boys and girls be-
tween the ages of ten and eighteen,
Who are interested in the care of rab-
bits and who wish to help very ma
terially in the food campaign now on.
Any child can successfully raise rab-
bits with but very little expense and
thereby save on the more scarce and
much needed meat and at the same
time provide for change in the fam
ily's diet. Many are now enrolled and
any boy or girl desiring to join the
club may do so by sending in their
name and address to +. NJ. Clark,
city supervisor of club work. 324 W.
Superior, before July II.
There is but little expense to the
club work and much enjoyment and
benefit for the child. He will need to
purchase a pair of hares probably
costing from one to two and a hall
dollars apiece, but will get ample re-
turns from the meat or from the sale
of the offspring, as rabbits breed
rapidly. Beside this there will be a
little expense for the housing and feed
of the hares but the most of this is
cheap. In the winter they live mostly
on cabbages, carrots, hay and oats.
INFORMATION concerning reliable
dealers in rabbits and also bulletin
explaining the care of the hares will
be given each member. Supervision
and help will make the work more in
teresting and successful.
u. S. Farmers Bulletin No. 496
says. "The present shortge of farm
live stock throughout the country is
one that cannot be remedied quickly.
In the Belgian hare and other domest-
icated rabbits we have animals that
breed rapidly, mature early, and fur
nish palatable and highly nutritious
meat. The supply can be increased
enormously within a few months
without using space that may be need
ed for the production of crops. Rab-
bit meat can be produced in almost
unlimited quantities at less cost
than that Of any other meat, not ex.
cepting poultry.
The business of growing rabbits
on farms and on village lots affords
opportunity for an agreeable change
in the family diet, for cutting dowr
the cost of living, and for conserving
the meat supply of the country
Though not always yielding large
profits, it is a reasonably remunera.

NEARING FINISH
Rev. Joseph Jelinek Will Soon Fin
ish His Work i'm Gratiot County

Rev. Joseph Jelinek of Milwaukee,
Wis, who has been rendering such
efficient service to the Bohemians of
Gratiot county, is about to complete
his work for the season He has been
working under the auspices of the
Gratiot county Sunday School asso-
citation for the past month. This will
make three months during the past
year that this line Of work has been
pursued.
The work was begun last August
by Mr. Jelinek and continued in
October by Mr.. Stack of Chicago.
They are both very well qualified by
race and education to do this kind OF
work in our midst. Several patriotic
meetings have been held at which Mr..
Jelinek addressed the Bohemians in
their own language, regarding the
part we are to take in the present
conflict, by giving to the Red Cross
and the Liberty Loan, and subscrip-
tions were made for these causes. He
has found the Bohemians of Gratiot
county 10 be loyal to the country &C
their adoption, and willing to help
in anyway possible to win the war.
The expense of this campaign is
met by contributions to the Dollar
Club, organized by DR.. Skinner, Sec
retary of the association. There are
about $50 members of the club, so
that if the dues of the present year
are promptly paid, the expenses can
be easily provided for.
If you are member of the Dollar
club, or feel inclined to help in this
work, send in your contribution
promptly.
A full accounting and report of the
work done TO date will be given at the
county convention at Riverdale, Aug
ust 1913. Every Sunday school
worker should plan to be there.
