the war. In fact il was the last hard
battle fought on the Argonne front.

THE DEPOT

While the committee which went
10 Detroit the latter part of Last
week and interviewed President Al
fred of the Pere Marquette, did not
bring back new union passenger
station for Alma, II did achieve
some results that were we'll worth
the while. and which promise to
bring a new station into being here
as soon as the railroads emerge from
under government controf.
The committee achieved several
results in addition to the promise of
a new depot later, which made the
trip paying one.
The proposition 10 construct an
addition at the station TO make room
for express. which includes milk cans.
chicken crates and boxes, and what
not, by the hundreds, and which
would cause the express Office to be
moved from the business section of
the city TO the depot, went by the
boards as the committee secured a
promise that no such addition would
be constructed. This will do away
with the threatened danger of bad
crossing at Prospect street, where
this street crosses the railroads, and
will keep the passenger station plat
form from becoming a menace. be-
cause of the piling of cans, crates,
etc. there for people TO bump into
or fall over. and possibly injure
themselves Ii will also do away
with the creation of a greater eyesore
which the addition would make.
1t saved to the city one of Alma s
few beauty spots-the rose garden,
which lies just to the east of the
present depot. This is charming
spot in summer, when the thousands
of roses have reached forth TO
gather in the rays of sunlight. and
the light mist Of the falling dew.
The ladies of the city were most
anxious that this spot be preserved,
and their wish is now granted.
The matter was put before Pres
ident Alfred in a cold-blooded bus
mess way, as a business proposition
should be put before busy business
man The business done here, the
inadequacy Of the depot and the UNI
sanitary conditions were pounded
home by the committee, and con-
WINGED President Alfred that Alma
has a grave need of a new depot
Without question this need will be
met with modern structure just
as soon as the railroads get out from
under government control and such
building again becomes possible.
The Alma Record, most consistent
in its remarks regarding the pro-
posed addition, feels that it did much
to awake public sentiment in Alma
in this regard. a sentiment which
demanded action, and which secured
results. 1t was another case OF
molding public opinion to point
where it became a force which could
not be denied.
