In 1916 there was used in the

sumption and export about co.

This represents about 80 per
cent of the normal barley crop
, and one-half Of one per cent Of

GET UNIT OF TRAINING CORPS

The War Department has officially
designated Central Michigan Normal
School of Mt. Pleasant the location
of a unit of the Students Army
Training corps, to be under the direct
supervision of the War Department
and to provide military training for
boys Of central and northern Michi-
gan, between the ages of Is and y.
An army officer will be in charge, as
sisted by five men who are now being
trained expressly for this purpose at
Government expense at Fort Sheri-
dan. Rifles, uniforms, overcoats and
other equipment will be provided free
by the War Department.
The purpose of this special War
Department plan is to train boys who
have had a good preliminary educa-
ton TO become eligible to enter off
GERS training camps, and for other
specialized war service. The War
Department has further planned To
supplement this training by a six
weeks intensive course at summer
camp at Government expense, al
though it is possible that new draft
regulations by Congress may upset
this part Of the plan so far as the
older boys are concerned.
Central Michigan Normal School
is receiving frequent instructions
from the War Department by tele-
gram and letters and will at any time
communicate the most recent infor-
nation in reply to inquiries from
eligible boys or their parents. This
Office has on hand q copy of the cir
cular, issued by the school, which
covers all details of the plan indi-
Gated by the War Department to date.
A copy viii be mailed by the Central
Michigan Normal Schoo. to any par

found every light on the main streets
of Alma burning at that hour, and
was highly Disguised to think that a
hustling city like Alma was paying
so little regard to the rules and COM

We know that the lights on the
main streets are not supposed to be
burning at that hour. Yet they were
1t evidently was an oversight on the
part Of someone. IL is matter
which should be given attention by
those in charge, as such things reflect

As one result OF the voting here
Tuesday. the eyes Of the city were
opened to the need of holding the
polls of the city open for longer
period of time during the day, thus
enabling the working men of the city
to cast their votes.
Many Of the men who are laboring
in various places in the city, and
notably at the Republic plant, are
working on bonus work or on time
work. These men Rave little desire
to take time off during the course Of
the day to vote, no matter how badly
they desire to vote To take off time
to vote when on such work loses them
money. They need the money, worse
than someone needs their vote, they
feel and hence do not take advantage
Of the chance offered them to go and
vote.
They cannot be blamed in this day
of rapidly rising cost Of living, wnen
it takes all they can earn TO make
both ends properly come together.
Neither is it fair to expect that these
men will lay off to vote when it il
affecting their own pockets
This takes away their opportunity
to vote The polls are not open wnel
they go TO work. They do not have
time to vote at noon and when work
rs over at night the polls are closed
To give them every opportunity "a
vote, the city council should fix such
hours for the polls being open. as
viii insure their being open to these
men during their leisure hours, say
until 300 y. m Most of them vii
probably vote if given q chance, wher
it is not going to affect their pockcr
books.

Teutons thought they doing something cunning they
We're only being supremey stupid They thought it was
smart thing to have the Teuon troops fraternze with
the Russians thinking that thereby dissenson would be

some dssenson followed that did great injury temporar

while the Russians being inoculated with political
smallpox that they exposed to and would contract
the Russian sociastic "itchsh The dispatches tell of
25000 German soldiers who have deserted and gone
to the Russians They heard Of and from the Russian
soldiers of the revolution and of its objects They learned
that each Russian expected in the end to receive ao
ment of land and realized that by joining them they too
might become land owners They too, might know what
freedom meant what equality was, what real manhood
was possible for them and they not the Russian soldiers
were the more powerfully affected. This was quite
natural for after ALL all the Teuton could offer the Rus
sian was peace while the Russian could offer peace along
with homes and land ownership, something the Teuton
could not hope for at home. 1t cunning scheme
