BOARD Of TRADE
ELECTION HELD
Annual Meeting of Board Held
at Council Chambers in City
Hall Wednesday.
BROWN HEADS BOARD AGAIN
King. Johnson and Washburn, the
Other Officers Who Were Also
Reelected.

The annual meeting of the Alma
Board of Trade was held in the coun-
Gil rooms at the city hall last night,
for the election of officers and the
directors of the association.
The attendance was rather small,
and when the elections were held
everything went along very smoothly,
only one contest coming during the
election of the officers and directors,
this one coming on the election of the
twelfth director. John S. Knoertzer
finally came through.
The rest of the directors are the
same as last year, these being C. F.
Brown, d. l.. Johnson, Francis King,
Otto Sanderhoff, Fred Slater, A. p.
Cook, Carl H. Washburn, James E.
Mitchell, Harry Gerber, W. w. Cush-
ing and J. S. Knoertzer.
The same officers who have been
elected for the past several years
were again elected. c. F. Brown of
the Alma Record heads the board of
trade for his eighth year. and ID. l..
Johnson as manager and secretary
for the past ten years, with the
other officers of the association for
slightly shorter periods. The officers
follow. president, c. F. Brown; vice
president, Francis King; treasurer,
Carl H. Washburn; secretary, D. L.
Johnson.
committee was appointed to ar
range for monthly get-together af-
fair which will be held in the near
future. The committee for the first
meeting consists of Fred Slater, j.
w. Blakley, A. A. Chick and Harry
Gerber.
The reports of the secretary and
treasurer and others indicated that
the past year has been fruitful one
for the Board of trade, which has
been very instrumental in bringing
to Alma new industries, which are
certain to make for us a larger Alma.

COLLEGE TEAM SCORES
TWO GREAT VICTORIES
Defeat KazOo on Home Floor
First Time Trick Is Turned
in Five Long Years.

The Alma college basketball team
scored two great victories last week,
defeating Olivet and Kalamazoo. The
latter victory gave Kazoo her first
defeat on the home floor in five years.
Alma defeated Olivet on Olivet's
floor last Friday evening by score
of 26-22. 1t was a hard, well-fought
game from the moment the ball was
first tipped off until the final whistle.
Olivet's fighting spirit combined with
long, narrow, poorly-lighted floor
held Alma's score down much lower
than it would have been upon our own
floor. Hayes umpiring was the best
Alma has become acquainted with
this year.
Alma started the game by scoring
early in the first half. The four man
defense of Alma baffled Olivet at
first, causing them to take many
long shots. Olivet soon began playing
a fast, snappy game, always keeping
within striking distance until the end
of the first half which ended 1913.
The change in baskets in the second
half gave Alma an advantage, which
combined with hard playing and fine
passing gave them lead too great for
Olivet to overcome. But even then
Olivet showed her fighting spirit and
would not be defeated until the final
whistle. The game ended 26-22 in
Alma's favor.
For Alma Smith played a star
game, Richards was back in his old
form and Anderson came tearing
down the floor for three baskets, be-
sides playing an exceptionally fine
game taking the ball off the back
board. The floor was long so that
Medler could not go down and shoot
as usual. He made two attempts to
cage the ball but one shot went wild.
His other shot from the center of the
floor was easily the sensation of the
game.
Herrick and LaMonte were the big
scorers for Olivet. The Crimson is
undoubtedly one Of the scrappiest
teams in the NJ. |. A. A., but Alma's
teamwork was faster and their shots
more accurate

IMPORTANT BUSINESS
CHANGES ARE MADE
Miller Bros. Sell to Eichenberg
& Co.-McCullOugh & Be
sore Dissolve.

Alma has had two important bus
mess changes this past week which
are worthy of note, as both effect
we'll known institutions of the city,
which have been here for a number of
years.
Miller Bros, who have conducted
grocery for several years at the
corner of Superior and Woodwork,
have sold their business to the firm
of Eichenburg & Company, which
took possession Of the store the lat
ter part of last week.
The new concern is welcome ad-
dition to the ranks of the business
houses of the city, being backed as
it is by some live wires among the
smaller cities Of the state. The firm
of Eichenburg & Company owns four
other stores, three in this section of
the state and the fourth at Orin.
The members of the firm are enter
prising merchants and will give Alma
store worth while.
Roy Miller, who has had active
management of the store under the
former ownership, expects to take up
farming in the near future near this
city.
The firm of Mccullough & Besore,
owners of the Alma City Laundry,
has been dissolved by the mutual
consent of the owners, f. r. Besore
retiring from the firm. Ben n.
Mccullough assumes the sole owner
ship of the Alma city Laundry as a
result of the dissolution.
Mr.. Besore has not yet determined
just what he will do in the future,
but expects to remain in this city

GOOD LECTURES
Science Club Lectures We're Very
Pleasing to Audience.

Those who attended the course of
popular science lectures at the college
Friday afternoon were we'll repaid by
a lecture on Comets" by Dr. Notes
tein. The discussion was illustrated
| by a number of lantern slides of the
most noted comets. Perhaps the most
striking feature of this wonderful
! phenomenon as brought out by DR..
Notestein is the inconceivable size
and rate of travelling, some of the
best known having been estimated to
be from five TO six million miles long
and travelling at a rate of several
hundred miles per second. The comet
is made up of a moving swarm of
solid particles widely separated and
surrounded by various gases, the head
being more dense and brighter than
the tail The tail is now thought to
be formed by particles driven off from
the head by some radioactive force
from the sun. Many comets come in
to view of the earth then pass off into
space never to return, but others
move in an elliptical orbit which
!
ly. The period of this appearance
varies from a few years to several
thousand, depending upon the size of
their orbit. Halley's comet which
was visible in 1910 was first verified
in IL B. c. in Italy, and has continued
to reappear in periods of about every
seventy-six years. At each appear
ance it shows more signs of old age
and is evidently in the last stages of
its life history. The ancients thought
the appearance of a comet was an ill
omen, foretelling all sorts of dire
calamities, but the scientific study of
this gigantic phenomenon of Nature
has dispelled all such superstition
regarding it.
Professor Stearns took charge of
the course on Tuesday discussing
insects and Camp Sanitation" He
called attention to the fact that in the
past more soldiers died of disease
4 than from wounds, due TO lack of
camp sanitation and intelligent control
of disease. But in the present war
this state of affairs is rapidly i'm
proving under the strict supervision
of the sanitary and medical corps of
the various armies. There is no dis
ease peculiar to soldiers but the gath
ering together of men from all walks
and conditions Of life, and the crowded
state in which they must live, make
the outbreak of disease very probable
unless the strictest sanitary measures
are observed.
Prof. Stearns discussed several dis
eases common in camp life which are
caused or are spread by insects, and
gave some constructive advice as to
their prevention and control by an
attack upon the insect involved.
He explained the important part the
mosquito plays in causing malaria
and yellow fever, and told of some in
teresting experiments made in the
Panama Canal zone a few years ago
when our government was attempting
to ascertain the cause, and the means
of control of yellow fever.
In conclusion he discussed typhoid
fever and the manner in which it is
spread by the common house fly.
Typhoid fever is practically unknown
among our soldiers today because Of

Raleigh.-"The worldwide food s't'
uation and their own individual inter-
ests demand that the farmers OF North
Carolina plant during the approaching
season the largest acreage OF corn
and other food or feed crops in the
history OF the State and that they give
such crops the best possible cultivation
and the heaviest possible fertiliza-
tion," declared State Food Admins
traitor Henry A. Page in an Interview
with newspaper men today
1.-THE coming wheat crop VIII supply
not more than half the normal needs
Of the world, which must continue to
be largely supplied by this country
until the end of the war and for a con-
siderable period beyond. This means
that the demand for corn ard other
grains for human consumption will
be more than double during 1919,
Must Raise Own Requirements.
1.-THE transportation situation Is
such that our farmers have no assur-
ance OF being able TO secure any food
or feed stuffe from any other section
OF the country next Fall and there's
after. and II they do not produce suifi.
Client food and feed crops for this
section our people in all probability
will have to do without. A large pro-
duction OF cotton is desirable and
necessary and no particular reduction
in the acreage of tobacco is being urs-
ed, but any farmer will be foolish to
plant either tobacco or cotton TO the
exclusion OF sufficient food and feed
stuffs to run his own establishment
and to provide his part Of the surplus
that will be required by the markets
In our cities, towns and Industrial
communities.
Few people have the imagination
to conceive OF the actual want and
suffering which was prevented in our
State by the Increased cultivation OF
gardens and truck patches and in
creased production OF staple food and
feed crops last year. We are import
ing this fiscal year a comparatively
small proportion Of the thousands Of
carloads of canned goods aad other
food and feed products that we nor
mally imported during past years. II
we had not produced the stuff at
home we would be going without at
this time. We shall be able to secure
even smaller imports Of food and feed
stuffs during the coming year.
Every acre Of wheat In North
Carolina which has not already been
heavily fortified should be top-dress.

asters grew In profusion by the road
sides. The day called for birthday
cake, and for decorations for the tn.

and their lovely tint suggested the
coloring for the cake. This was pro-
cured by the use of grape juice. The
