TIRE WEEK
Place Worn Out Tires on Band Stand
as Gift to the Red Cross.

Throw your old tires in the band
stand during the coming week and
help the Red Cross. All the old auto
mobile tires in the county are wanted.
Old worn out tires are the kind those
of which are no benefit to the users
of automobiles
Get in line The Red Cross is doing
a noble work. work which means
much. not only for the United States,
but for humanity at large over the
entire world. 1t means much. very
much for the Sammies at the front.
The Red Cross needs funds. large
funds TO carry on the great work
which it is doing. That is the reason
for the placing of the band stand in
front Of the city hall on which you
may place your old automobile tires,
which are to be sold and the proceeds
turned to the Red Cross, to aid in
giving it funds with which TO carry
on its work
Old worn out tires do not mean
much to anyone. All of them. placed
on the band stand will make respect
able pile. which when sold will yield
good sum for the Red Cross
DO your part. Pull those old tires
out of the corners of the garage.
Load them into your automobile and
take them down TO the band stand
IN front of the city hall. Deposit
them there. The advertising depart
ment of the Republic will see that
they are sold and the proceeds turned
to the Red Cross.

RED CROSS DRIVE
MEETING WITH SUCCESS
Ii is Expected that End of Week
Will See Alma and GratiOt
Go Over the Top.

Reports which are coming in indi-
cate that the Red Cross drive in AL
ma and out through the country is
meeting with great success and that
there is every indication that the en-
tire county will top the quota in the
drive for funds for this great organi-
zation. which is doing 80 much for the
relief Of the soldiers on the field
No figures have been obtainable on
the results Of the drive as the va
rious committees have not yet turned
in the cards which have been signed
so far This is probably due to the
fact that none Of the committees in
charge of the various wards have SO
far completed their work.
1t is gathered that the committees
are meeting with a whole hearted
support here in Alma from those
they have been able to see in the house
to house canvasses, but the solicitors
have not been able to see many who
have been working or were away from
home. but expect TO visit these people
again before the week is over and Sc
cure their pledges for the big drive.
1t is very probable that the entire
amount subscribed in Alma will not
be known before Monday or Tuesday
evening.
The response out in the country is
reported as very favorable in every
district and high hopes are being en-
tertained that the county will go far
above the quota which has been as
signed to il.

branch of Uncle Sans service.

led by the Shepherd band secured for
the occasion. The band was followed

Team in Overtime Game.

In the last NJ l. A. A. game of the
season Alma took Olivet into camp

superiority of the helmer coached

game that the Alma team has played
some Improvement has been made and
it is now just hitting its stride
The infield took the first three
Oljvet men to face Boyne, and then
the fireworks began. Smith was safe
on an error at short. Pelton took one
in the ribs. Ardis hit and Smith
scored. Eddie walked and Pelton
scored on w Richards infeld out.
Olivet managed to get two on in
the second on a walk and felder's
choice after two were dead. Eddie
just added a little steam and the
third man struck out In her half
Alma scored six runs. Richards was
safe on an error Warner was safe
on a fclder's choice which took no
one Smith took one on the edge of
his shirt Pelton hit and Warner and
Richards scored Ardis soaked one
for three sacks and scored minute
later on an error at second Boyne
scored on two inied outs and field
er's choice while the ump had piece
Of dirt i'm his owe
The third was short, both sides
goin out one, two, three. Myers had
replaced Greenwood. The fourth was
hardly more fruitful, Olivet going out
in perfect order while Alma scored
one on a walk, stolen base and a hit
w Richards replaced Boyne on the
mound and was greeted with a hit
between short and third He walked
the next man. the only one he issued
and then settled down and the infeld
took two while Boyne helped with his
catch back Of short.
Alma added two in the sixth on
three errors and felder's choice and
completed their scoring. Olivct was
unable to score until the ninth when
Richards loosened up and they touched
him for two hits in succession. Just
to show them he was good yet he
struck out the last man.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkal, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle Of dust, dirt and dan
druR-Advt.

In an alarm.
In a very few minutes the hose
wagon and truck returned from the
north side and in that short time the
flames had extended to every part Of
the building. A reserve hose wagon
with $50 feet of hose was pulled out
of the building. but the hose was al
ready ruined. All OF the hose in the
tower was saved,
The upper part OF the building was
occupied by the council chamber and
the Headquarters and sleeping rooms
ords were kept in the building. Three
Of the firemen, Theodore Anderson,
John Vinton and Henry w. Kueh4.
lost all of their clothing except what
they wore at the time of the fire.
All, sorts Of wild stories are, in cir
culation as to the cause of the fire,
but neither Chief N. B. Remley of the
department or Chief of Police Peter
E. Malvey knows of any clue. There
was no fire in the stoves in the
building and such progress had been
made by the flames when discovered
that it Is impossible to determine
where or how it started.
The insurance on the building is
$4,000; on furniture and fixtures,
$1,000, and on equipment, $3.50.
Temporary housing for the hose
cart and truck was in the John Lamb
barn and the Comstock garage will
probably be leased for use until
new fire hall can be built.
The city council will meet Monday
evening, when some plan will be con-
stdered for a new building.
