New Pump. Installed

The Redwood Falls Laundry last
week let a contract for an electric
pump which will be used to pump wa
ter from Lake Redwood to the IauTl-
dry, thereby furnishing soft water for
washing purposes. The contract was
let to the Beecher Cummings Com
pany of New York and the pump viii
be installed by the Company's local
agent Edw. Duncan. The pump will
cost between $1,000 and $110O and has
capacity of seyenty-five gallons per,
minute The water problem has been
hard one to solve for the local laun-
dry because of the minerals fourd IN
the city water. An analysis of the
lake however, shows that it is admir-
ABLY fitted for laundry purposes aud

better results and with less wear on
the clothes sent for cleaning.

SAFETY FIRST
City viii Start Go 10 the Corner
to Cross Street" Campaign.

1t is expected that the city will
shortly start campaign in Alma to
ask people to go to corners before
crossing the streets, particularly on
Superior street, which is nearly al
ways congested with traffic, making
the crossing of the street a danger
Gus proposition to pedestrians.
1t is expected that crossing lines
will be marked on Superior street,
with white paint, so that they will
show up distinctly, to serve as an in
dicator of what is expected of the
people of the city.
With this end in view the school
pupils will probably be asked in the
school rooms to cross the streets
only at the crossings, and thus avoid
the danger that there is in crossing
streets in the middle of blocks. The
congested traffic on Superior street.
and the fact that there is almost
constantly a large number of auto
mobiles parked on this narrow thor
oughfare so that automobilists have
little opportunity, if any, to see peo-
pie who dodge out from behind the
parked cars, make the habit of cross
ing the main street between blocks "A
highly dangerous practice
The liability that there is for ac-
cidents in such cases is unusually
large in Alma, and it is to avoid
these possibilities that the campaign
will be carried on, that injuries, or
perhaps death may oe averted.

AGED PIONEER or
CITY DIED FRIDAY
Joseph Grover, ST., for Many
Years a Resident of Alma
Died After Long Illness.

Joseph Grover, Sr., one of the pio-
neers of this city died Saturday, at
the advanced age of 81 years, the end
coming after over four years of i'll
health.
I Mr.. Grover was among the early
residents, of Alma, having come here
with his parents in 1856, at which
time his father purchased consider
able land in the eastern part of what
is now Alma, along what is now
known as Grover avenue. The tract
was then wilderness, and he aided
his father during that time in carv-
ing farm out of the woods, but it
was almost seveN years before the
woods had been cut away sufficiently
so that the village of Alma could be
seen on the west side of Pine river.
Until overtaken by i'll health about
four years ago he had been a con-
slant resident of the community, and
was long regarded as one of the sue
cessful farmers of this section.
He was married in 1869 to Miss
Mary Ann Barnes of North Star, to
which union were born several child
rem, five sons of whom survive the
father. Mrs. Grover preceded him
in death in 1910. The five sons who
survive are Joseph, Jr., and Fred of
Alma, Charles of Lansing, William
of Jefferson, Ohio, and Thomas A..
of Seville township. He is survived
by four brothers, Charles of Ohio,
John of California and Henry and
Thomas of Alma.
The funeral was held Tuesday af-
ternoon from the Episcopal church,
Rev. J. Frank Jackson officiating and
interment was made in Riverside
cemetery.

MEET INDIANS
High SchOOlers Will Meet Strong In
dian Eleven of Mt. Pleasant.

On Friday afternoon the Alma high
school footballers will play what is
expected to be the last home game
of the season, when they meet the
strong Mt. Pleasant Indian aggreg
alton on Davis field.
The Redskins are reputed to have
one of the strongest of the three ag-
gregations that are representing Mt.
Pleasant, and promise to make
things interesting for the locals. With
Tibbetts, former Carlisle star, coach
ing that government school gridders,
the Indians should have well polish
ed capable bunch Of players, that will
put up great battle. The Indians
have made an excellent record this
year and are figuring on annexing
the scalp of the Alma team.
The high schoolers did not have a
game last Saturday and as a result
every man on the aggregation should
be in fine shape for a gruelling battle
this week, and Coach Mullin believes
that his youngsters can take the
measure of the Indians i'm the coming
battle. He has been giving them
two or three trick plays this week,
during the long hard workouts, which
he believes viii work for good gains
on the Indians, and is counting heav-
lily on them and the forward passing
game for victory Friday afternoon.

NEW BURDENS
Added Work Needs More Member
ships in Red Cross.

New burdens have been laid upon
the Red Cross, and cheerfully as
sumed by that organization, as re-
suit of recent order by the War
Department recalling all other well
fare organizations from camps and
hospitals.
The war department will assume
all the work formerly done by the
various welfare organizations in the
way of recreation and relief work in
the regular army camps. But in the
hospitals, where the responsibility
has already rested with the Red
Cross, the work formerly done by
other volunteers must now be done
by the Red Cross and Red Cross
memberships will go far in aiding in
this great work which must be done.
Alma people can aid in this way.
In the Central Division the Red
Cross has added four men to the
personnel at the United States Gene
raj Hospital No 28 at Ford Sheridan,
Ill. Ward workers were formerly
supplied by the Salvation Army, jew
ish Welfare organization, Y. NJ. C. A.
and others, and much of the activity
was duplicated. The change will not
mean that the wounded soldiers in
the hospitals will receive less atten-
tion, or that less will be done for
their entertainment. The govern
ment holds that the work among the
military forces can be handled more
efficiently by the army officials, and
that the hospital work, which has
been gradually decreasing, can now
be done entirely by the American
Red Cross.
The booths in this city report a
good number of Alma people as hav-
ing subscribed in the Red Cross Roll
Call, but this number is far short of
the number that should join before
the close of the roll call November
IL. Alma people are urged to re-
member the work Of this great or
ganization and to visit one of the
booths in the post office or in the
drug stores before the night Of No
vember IL, and by joining, aid in the
work that is being done by ''The
Greatest Mother of Them AL"

CASES SETTLED

Grand Rapids papers this past
week mentioned the settlement of
cases brought by +. L. Wellman
against William G. Griffin, and by
Griffin against Wellman. Griffin, a
former resident Of this city, was sued
for fraud on capias by Wellman.
Thereupon Griffin sued Wellman for
false arrest.
The trial of the first of the cases
started in the courts there last Tues
day, and before being brought to a
finish Wellman settled all of the
cases, which were being watched by
grain men in all parts of the state.
The amount paid to Griffin in settle
ment was not announced, but is said
to have been a substantial one. At
torney j. NJ. Durham, formerly of
this city, handled the cases for the
former Alma man.

THOSE SIX QUESTIONS
OF MR.. DUFFEY'S

A copy of letter sent by Rev. NJ.
W. Duffey of the Methodist church
to many men in Alma and over
the state and to men of National
prominence, appeared in The Record
last week. This letter sought answers
to questions regarding the church:
Why more men in Alma did not at
tend, what they thought a minister
ought to preach, etc. Some most in
teresting replies have been received
from men in many walks of life,
representing various ideas of the
church and the ministry.
These will form the basis of a
series of Sunday evening addresses
to be delivered by Rev. Duffey, the
first Of which will be given next
Sunday evening at TOO o'clock. The
non-church-going as well as the
church-going public will be interested
in these addresses.

PURCHASES WERE
MADE FOR STORE
City Officials Have Secured
Large Quantity of Army
Goods for Alma.

The store, which the city officials
had contemplated opening this com
ing Monday for the sale of govern
ment foodstuffs and clothing will be
delayed somewhat in being started as
1t is not expected that the goods.
which were purchased will arrive here
in less than another week.
Charles R. Murphy, mayor, and
John c. Chick, city commissioner.
were in Detroit Monday, making
purchases Of the goods in the ware
houses there, where it was stored.
They secured a large quantity of ba-
con, 1000 pounds in strips and 900
pounds in cans, one hundred fifty
cases of tomatoes, peas, beans and
corn, and other foodstuffs, which can
be sold at very small figure. Some
of the food which they desired to
secure, could not be had because the
Detroit Government Store was out
of those things the first of the week
and could not promise that further
stock would arrive before the goods
purchased were sent to Alma.
Considerable clothing, including
underwear, woolen socks, mittens.
ETC., was secured, as were number
of blankets, hip boots, hand towels,
and other desirable goods, in which
Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Chick believed
the people of the city could make
some big savings.
Just how soon the store will open
in the city hall is problematical at
the present time, but it is expected
that 1t will not be later than a week
from Monday or November II. 1t
was expected that the goods would
be shipped. from Detroit this week.
and that it might take several days
for them to reach Alma by freight.
The city is required to sell the
goods at certain price, fixed by the
government, and is prohibited from
selling the goods for resale. The city
is given a slight discount from the
list prices for overhead expense. so
that 1t will not lose money in selling
the goods. 1t is equally certain that
with the small margin allowed for
overhead, that the city will not make
any profit.
1t is expected that the city officials
will have advertising in next weeks
issue Of The Record il the sale is held
later than next Thursday. If it is
held earlier than that handbills will
announce the time of sale

GET OPTION ON BUILDING

That Detroit interests. which are
now rushing the construction of AL
mas new theatre just to the west of
the city hall, have plenty of conf
dence in the future growth of the
City Of Alma, is judged from the
fact that they have secured an op-
tion on the John b. Spinney prop
erty on East Superior street, in
which the Genesta theatre is located.
II is expected that the Detroiters
will close a deal for the property in
the very near future.
