INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan. 18.- When they began making car wheels of paper some years ago it was such revolutionary thing that almost every newspaper and magazine had articles about it. Since then paper has entered into the making of so many things that we are not surprised at any new application of it. Washtubs, pails of all kinds, doorknobs, the inter io- insh of houses-these uses of paper are familiar to all of us.

Now that the war is over and the

for the people of Gratiot county to
wake up and get their share and do
something for old Gratiot. This is a
matter Alma business men should
take up, and do il at once, as the
roads out of Alma are a disgrace to
any wide-awake city. There is not a
business man in Alma but who recog-
nizes this fact and is ready to go in
10 his pocket and do his share, but
the city lacks an organization or

ton now is, how can this be brought

MORE DEPOT ARGUMENTS

The railroads which are using the
present passenger depot as a Union
station claim that they cannot give
Alma a new depot at this time, it is
said. The probable reason is that
the railroads believe that they can
get by and use the present structure
by adding some box-like additions,
md possibly sweep and mop out the
station once or twice a year more
than at present, thus making it more
commodious, and much more sanitary
by the additional sweeping and mop
ping.
That they will construct a new
depot, when the present one cannot
be longer made somewhere near
adequate, is shown by the action of
the Pere Marquette railroad with its
old freight depot. which by the way
vas larger than the present depot.
This freight depot became so mad
equate to handle the freight business
which the company was doing, that it
was torn down and replaced by a far
larger freight depot, so that the
company could handle it's rapidly in
creasing freight business.
Yet, the Pere Marquette does not
propose to construct new depot in
order that il can better handle its
passengers. No, there is a place
where tickets can be purchased, and
where its patrons can stand, inside
N cold weather, if the crowd is not
TOO large, or outside if necessary.
after the needed tickets have been
purchased, the railroad evidently not
being liable for colds and various ills
which may be secured at such a time,
while it is liable for damaged freight.
etc, and must have room in its
freight depot to accommodate il.

crossing, and while a lease might

IN this case, there are something's

1t is understood that the railroad
rot only contemplates the present ad.
dition' but if it secures this permis.

OF another addition at the east end OF
the depot in another year, and in the
meantime expects 10 improve the de.
pot by new heating plant.
Why not, in view of the inadeonac,
and unsanitary condition of the pres
ent structure, the addition of a few
thousand dollars to the cost of these
contemplated pieces Of patchwork
TO be used in the construction Of 4

a source Of satisfaction to Alma, bu

WHY FRANCE NEEDS WHEAT

France never did produce all the
wheat she used. In 1914 herproductior
was about 81 per cent of the normal
consumption. In 1917 the production
was but As per cent of the normal pro
duction.
After deducting the amount neces
sary for seed, 1t is estimated that the
1917 production will be one-third
Frances needs.
France cannot economic on food as
much more than usual as we can in the
United States because her food con.
sumption has always been very close
to her actual food necessities. They
cannot increase their supplies by war
gardens, for most of them are in the
habits of growing their own garden
supplies, and they are famed for their
careful household management.
Last year France kept her food sup
ply production plus exports) up to
Sc per cent of normal. This year it has
fallen to between 60 and 20 per cent.
The rations of the French soldiers
has been cut twice. 4 soldiers ration
is never lowered until the danger at
home from food shortage far outweighs
the damage the same lack can do at
the front. .
England, who needs food badly, con.
siders the French situation so serious
that she shares her scanty supply of
wheat with France.

and are all ready to go anywhere and
do anything they say. We are having
good times-dances, movies, baseball
and plenty of English girls are fea-
tured at our camp-home was never
like this. Our squadron has a peachy
brass band and jazz band and the
music is surely great. Tonight a big

truly is going to attempt to attract
some eggs and vegetables his way.

hand in it.

I've had and other interesting things
when l return, which we all hope will
be soon,
Let me hear from you when you find
