HEAVY WIND
Wind Storm Saturday Night Did
Considerable Damage.

The wind storm of Saturday night,
which followed closely on the heels
of heavy rain, is reported to have
done considerable damage here, al
though no great amount of damage
was done at any one place, or any
concern, excepting perhaps the Cen
tral Michigan Light 4 Power COM
pany, which sustained big loss
from light wires, which were blown
down
The blowing down of light wires
plunged the city in darkness for a
time late Saturday night, and it
was not until late Sunday that all
of these wires were repaired and full
service resumed, it is reported
The greater part of the other
damage done consisted i'm shingles be
ing torn from houses, trees being up
rooted, and large limbs Of trees
broken off. A few small sheds were
also blown over.
In the country districts Of the
county where the heavy wind got
better sweep at sheds and trees, a
considerable amount of damage was
done.

FIRE FRIDAY
European Cafe Closed Temporarily
Following Fire in Kitchen.

A fire which broke out in the
kitchen of the European cafe early
last Friday morning, badly damaged
this popular place, causing a loss
that is estimated at about $4,000
from fire, smoke and water.
1t is not known TO certainty lust
how the fire started. Mr.. Bonahus of
the cafe left the kitchen for a NOM
ent, and hearing a loud noise from
the rear Of the cafe started for the
kitchen, only to find it a mass of
flames.
The fire department was quickly
summoned to the scene, and two
streams of water were thrown upon
the fire, which had gained a good
headway, but brilliant fight on the
part of the tiremen quickly brought
the flames under control, and kept
the blaze confined to the rear of the
building.
A heavy smoke from the fire dam
aged the upstairs rooms, and the
dining room of the cafe badly. while
water which was poured upon the fire
ruined or injured some of the stock
in the basement.
1t is the intention of Nick Barda-
vile & Company, owners of the
European cafe, TO repair the build
ing just as quickly as possible and
reopen the doors, which were closed
pending the insurance adjustments.

NEW MACHINERY
Alma Record Has Installed New
Press With Miller Feeder.

During the past few days new
press has been installed nj the Offices
Of The Alma Record, which is oper-
ated by Miller Press Feeder, which
was first conceived in the mind of
II. A. Miller. when the Miller Saw
Trimmer company, now of Pitts
urgh. was located in this city.
The press feeder, which is attached
to y by Is Gordon, is the first of
its kind in use in the county, and
gives to The Record two self-feeding
job presses, which aid in relieving
overhead expense, and thus have con
siderable to ,do with keeping costs
low. One man will now be able to
take care of the work on the two
presses. which without the feeders.
would require the services of two
men.
The Miller feeder operates with
mechanical perfection, feeding paper
INTO the, press so that every sheet has
exactly the same margin. 1t makes
possible great accuracy where dupli-
cate and triplicate work is desired
The Miller feeder will take a sheet
OF paper from the very thnnest
stocks to heavy cardboard.
The Record has also recently in
stalled new job folding machine.
in view of being able to meet all de-
mands for this class of work, a need
that has been growing in view of the
varied work that the office produces.
The owners invite Alma people to
call at the Office and inspect the new
Miller feeder, and it's other high
grade machinery and equipment.
which is designed and in use with a
view Of giving the best possible serv
ce in the shortest possible time.

On Monday, December /, Sidney
Evey of Sumner, assumed charge of
his new work as treasurer for the
county of Gratiot, succeeding Willard
G. Folkert, who recently resigned

The retiring county treasurer has
proven highly efficient in his work
and will leave large circle of
friends from among those with whom
he has had dealings, while connected
with this office. Mr.. Folkert will
remain in the Office of the county
treasurer for a short time so as to
be able to render such aid and ad-
vice as may be needed at the outset
by Mr. Evey.
The new county treasurer is well
known throughout Gratiot county as
hustler of merit, and his many
friends believe that he will prove a
highly capable successor to Mr.

PIPES WERE FROZEN
Seven Outlet Pipes at Gas Plan,
Froze and Cut Gas Supply.

The freezing Of seven outlet pipes
at the plant Of the Giatiot county
Gas company last week. caused a
cessation of gas TO users of the prod
uct Of the company for some hours
during the latter part Of the week.
causing great Inconvenience to house
holders. not only in Alma. but in
the other towns that are being sun
piled by the company.
The seven outlet pipes had been
provided by the company, with a
view Of eliminating the chance of
such a freeze up. and for a time it
was thought that a main had broken
out in the country and gas was
shut off to the other communities
while the pipe lines were carefully
gone over.
Finally it was discovered that the
outlets were frozen, and the gas
was entirely shut off and the pines
thawed out. In some way water had
gotten into the outlet pipes, causing
the freeze up.
That people, who depended entirely
upon the gas for cooking, were high

some of the makeshifts that were
reported. A story is told of one

COAL SITUATION I
IS NOW CRITICAL
Wartime Restrictions Again
Put on Use of Fuel by the
Government.
CITY COMMISSIONERS ACT
ASK Alma Dealers Not to Sell More
Than Ton at a Time and Only
Where Needed.

With war time coal restrictions
again clamped on through the United
States fuel administration, and big
coal shortage as a result of the
strike, which made necessary the
move by the government, there is
every indication that the entire
country will be in the throes of a
coal shortage within the next few
weeks that will be far more severe
than the one of two years ago.
AS a result of the elamping on of
the coal lid by the government, which
was announced Tuesday, and in view
of the extreme shortage of coal in
Alma, the city commission Tuesday
evening passed resolutions looking
towards the equalizing of the de-
livery of coal here, so that every one
would have the same opportunities
IN obtaining fuel during the crisis.
The action taken by the commits
sion was TO the effect that the sew
eral dealers of the city should not
furnish coal in quantities of more
than one ton to any one house, and
then only in case that there was less
than one weeks supply on hand. The
resolution also asked that the
dealers refuse to fill back orders un-
less there was less than a weeks
supply of coal on hand in the house.
The order from the commission
will be a welcome one for the deal
ers, without question, as there is no
doubt but what they have been en-
deavoring to handle the little coal in
the city in an equitable manner. but
AS one dealer stated Tuesday, it is
hard 10 refuse a man coal, who has
been a customer for years, and also
user of other commodities that
they handle. 1t means that the deal
er will have a real excuse in not fur
sishing coal to even his best friends,
unless their bins are depleted, in view
of the action on the part of the city.
and will leave such people no argu-
ment because of past dealings
The action on the part of the city
officials is certain to be popular with
the poker people of the city, and is
certain TO find favor with all people
of the city who are fair minded, as
it viii have much to do in the max
ing of an equal distribution of fuel
during the coal strike, when coal is
certain to be a hard thing to obtain
m quantities by any of the dealers.

PLEA is GUILTY
Alma Spencer Made Plea of Guilty
In Circuit Court

Alma Spencer of Detroit, ARRESTED
about a year ago for stealing from
the d. w. Robinson stores i'm this
city, made plea of guilty, in Cir
cult court last week, before Judge f.
J.. Moinet.
The case has been of considerable
interest in Alma and in fact through
out the state, as the Michigan Re
tail Drygoods Association stood be-
mind Mr.. Robinson in the prosecution
as the association had determined to
eliminate this class Of people as far
as possible. Alma MERCHANTS, who
have in the past suffered from light
ones, watched the case closely.
Upon her plea Of guilty the Spenc-
er woman was ordered to paw Mr..
Robinson $4,000 for the goods which
were taken from his store. and was
placed on probation by the Judge.
and is also to pay the costs of prose
cution.
Because of this case. which from
the amount of goods taken was a
serious matter, and because of num-
erous other thefts from Alma stores.
the merchants of the city are de-
termined that shoplifting must cease,
and 1t is certain that those who are
detected in the future will find that
the coils of the law will encircle
them.
1t was stated yesterday by
prominent Alma merchant that store
detectives will be at work here dur
ing the holiday season, who will make
IT point to watch the crowds in
the stores, and suspicious actions on
the part of shoplifters. will be GER

tion.

fact that the tuberculosis workers
have traced this disease to milk in
some cases, and that sterilization of
the milk kills all germs.
The company has also added up
to-date ice cream making machinery.
and has secured a frst-class ice
cream man to take charge of this
part Of the plant. He is Mr.. Wing
of Cheyboygan, who has had consid-
cradle experience in this work.

festo written by Karl Marx some
fifty years ago as the fundamental

great gifts to the world made by
God through Jesus Christ was such
perfect law of such perfect

Long before the Masters birth it
was prophesied that the Messiah
when he came would give his people
the perfect law; and Jesus took care
to fulfill this prophecy What he
says is contained in three short
chapters of Matthew. The para

In these days of reconstruction no
study should prove of greater value
to people generally than the con-
sideration of these words OF Christ.

lngs will have to do with such a
study. The series should be a helm
