HERE FRIDAY
Congressman J. W. FOrdney TO BE
Guest of GratiOt Club.

The Honorable Joseph w. Fordney
Of Saginaw, congressman from this
district, and one of the most import
ant members of the lower house of
the national legislative branch of the
National government, will be the
guest of the Gratiot club Friday even
ing at smoker to be held at the
club.
This will be the first visit that
Fordney has made to a lima in months.
and is being looked forward to with
interest, not only by the members of
the Gratiot club, but by local politi-
cans as well, as it will be only a
matter of a few short months
until another campaign will be under
way.
Congressman Fordney will give an
address Friday evening to the men,
bers of the club, and it is expected
that he will bring out great deal
Of valuable information in regard to
the league of nations, with which
Alma people are not entirely familiar
and that he will also give some in
teresting information in regard to
the finances of the government. a
matter that he has always been vital
ly interested in.
Fordney is well versed in matters
Of National Importance. as one would
suppose from the years that he has
spent in congress, and is certain 20
prove one Of the most interesting
speakers who will be brought to
Alma this winter by the club.
The Hon. j. w. Fordney has been
in Congress for twenty years, and at
the present time is the chairman Of
the Ways and Means Committee,
which is considered as the most inn
portant committee in the lower house
Of the National legislative branch of
the government.

Commission Directs City Manager
To Make Tests of Gas.

Tuesday evening at the meeting

Reynolds, city manager, was directed
by the city commission to make daily
tests of the gas furnished by the
Gratiot County Gas Co. to determine
if it was up to the quality specified
in the franchise that the company
has.
The resolution, which was offered
by Commissioner Creaser, supported
by Commissioner Chick and given
the unanimous support of the COM
mission, is the result of complaints
to various city officials to the effect
that the gas that is now being fur
nished by the company is not up to

instruments for the tests will be Sc

company may secure recreation of
some kind if they so desire.
1t is expected Of course that con
siderable portion Of the funds Sc
cured from the association will he

gregation that will represent the
plant this coming year. Plans are
already under way looking towards
the formation Of the team for the
coming summer and it is certain to

MEMBERSHIPS
SELLING RAPIDLY
Campaign for The Thousand
Dollar Club Proceeding
Satisfactorily.
VISIT THE CIRCLE CLUB
Committee of Business Men Explain
Workings of Organization
at Republic.

1t was stated Tuesday that the cam
paign for memberships for The
Thousand Dollar Club, through which
it is hoped TO solve Alma's housing
problem, was proceeding very salts
factorily and that little trouble is
anticipated in the securing of the
thousand members which are being
hoped for in this city, which will in
time make one million dollars avail
able for building purposes.
Some of the solicitors in the city
have reported that the ten member
ships which they were selling have
been disposed of, and in two cases, it
is understood, solicitors have sold
thirty memberships each, for a total
of sixty thousand dollars. 1t is said
that a number Of the solicitors have
not yet reported the results of their
work so far, so il is very uncertain
just how many memberships have
been disposed Of. 1t is expected that
a meeting will be held within the next
few days, at which time a report will
be given on the sales of member
ships which have been made. 1t was
indicated Tuesday that the business
men of the city were taking hold
of the matter i'm fine shape.
Friday evening the committee in
charge Of the work met with the
Circle Club at the cafeteria of the
Republic Motor Truck Company Inc,
at which time the plans of the club
were gone into thoroughly by the
committee, and following the ex-
planation of the workings of the club,
various members sought for infor-
nation of various kinds in regard to
the matter.
1t was agreed, before the meeting
was brought to close, among the
members of the Circle Club to take
up the work of soliciting member
ships through their factory and it is
expected that several hundred mem
berships will be secured at the plant,
rs the members OF the club are highly
enthused over the prospects that the
Thousand Dollar Club offers i'm solv-
ing the problem of housing that is
confronting the city.
ne easy payments Tor the mem
berships, which are only $3.50 per
month. for one hundred months, and
the fact that these memberships will
earn 81 900 each, with the money in
vested on first mortgages, is making
the Thousand Dollar Club popular
thing in Alma, especially in view of
the fact that many of the well to do
business men of the city originally
got their start in Alma through a
building company that worked SIM
larly to the present one.

HAVE VACATION
College and Schools Closed for the
Annual Thanksgiving Vacation.

Both Alma College and the public
schools closed Wednesday for the
balance of the week for the annual
Thanksgiving vacation at the insti-
tutions.
The college closed Wednesday
noon, so that the students might
have ample opportunity to get home
in time to get their feet under the
home tables, which twenty-four
hours later would be groaning under
the weight of the Thanksgiving
dinners.
A few of the students, living at n
distance from Alma College, are re-
naming in Alma during the short
vacation, but for the greater part
they have gone home.
The public schools closed Wednes-
day afternoon, most of the rooms,
in the grades especially, having a
short Thanksgiving program early in
the afternoon. The public schools
will reopen Monday morning.

OPERATIONS
START SOON
Northern Wheel Co.'S Plant
Here Will BE in Operation
Before Holidays.
WORK PROCEEDING RAPIDLY
Roof Now Being Put on Factory
and Workmen are Installing
the Machinery.

1t was stated Tuesday by President
Smith of the Northern Wheel COM
pany that it was now expected that
the new Alma concern would be in
operation before the Holidays, the
work of construction on the new plant
having proceeded far enough to war
rant that conclusion.
The side walls of the new struct-
ure have been completed and the
roof is rapidly being put in place,
that at the east end of the long plant
already having been finished. With
a large force of men at work the
balance of the roof promises to be
quickly put in place.
Retorts for the plant were set the
first of this week, in the east end of
the plant and the balance of the
machinery to be used will be put in
place just as rapidly as possible, this
depending to a large extent, of
course, on the rapidity with which
the roof is put in place.
1t was also given out at the offices
of the plant that the boiler has been
put in place in the heating plant and
that the work of bricking it up will
be done Immediately, after which it
will be connected up with the piping
in the plant, most of which has al
ready been put in place.
President Smith stated Tuesday
that business was already coming to
the plant unsolicited, calling atten-
tion to the fact that blue prints and
specifications for wheels had already
been received from some of the con-
Germs which are expecting TO use the
products which will be turned out by
the Northern Wheel Company.
The officials of the company are
highly enthused over the present
prospects of the business, which they
feel will meet with big success
once actual operations get under way
The fact that wheel concerns have
been unable to keep pace with the
demand for wheels, and the fact that
unsolicited business is already com
ing in indicates to them that the con.
cern, with the management it prom.
ises to have with its present officers
will make its stockholders gooC
yield on their investment.
