BOLSHEVIST REGIME
 FORCES HUNGARIAN
 WOMEN TO WORK

LONDON, June 20 Correspondence of Associated Press) ).-Of all the suf- ferers from the BOlshevist regime in Hungary, the women he saw were the most unhappy, according to Il. Il. Brailsford, a well-known British jour- nalist
 He says that during his stay there he met a good many aristicrats who were obliged to work for the first time in their lives.
 Some were certainly angry" he went on, land a few were fearful It may have been chance, but the ma iority of those whom 1 happened to meet, especially the women, were re- markably spirited, and even gay.
 "I sat once in a drawing room in which each lady in turn began to re- count her experiences in getting work. Most had succeeded Most had met with courtesy and helpfulness. These ladies seemed amusingly proud to dis cover that as linguists, teachers or mu- sicians they had a value, and rather high value, in the labor market
 '"The women in this company were much happier than the men, obvi- ously because the revolution had emancipated them and ended a some what idle and useless existence"

Ii the rules of past years hold true

a number who viii come TO Alma coll

mated at the college.

not been able to secure their dis
charges yet, who are expected 20 re-

PIONEER RESIDENT
OF CITY IS DEAD
Mary Delavan for Many Years a
Resident of This City, Died
on July 81.

The death on July 31st, after a
short illness at her home on State
street, of Miss Mary Caroline Della
van came as a great shock TO her
many friends.
Miss Delavan was born at Wat
kins, n. Y, September 9th. 1886, the
daughter of the late Henry A. Della
van and Mary F. Delavan. The fam
lily later made their home at Jones'
vile, Michigan, where Miss Delavan
was a pupil in the first Union school
established in the West. There she
showed great aptitude for languages
Spanish, Latin and Greek Her pro-
fessor, afterwards of the University
Of Iowa at Ames, said of her that
she was the finest woman Latin
scholar he had ever known. After
her work there was completed she
attended a finishing school at Sing
Sing, n. y. She was a natural stu
dent, loved study, and next TO her
interest in languages came an inter
est in botany and the study of plant
life
II Miss Delavan had special in
terests they were her church. the
Episcopal church, for which her la
bors were unremitting; her town. for
whose good she was always actively
concerned; and her love of plants
and OF gardens. She was quick 70

and on the farms beyond, from slips.
roots, and seeds from her hand, liv-
ing legacies of beauty to those who
tend them now. But allied to all
these gifts, Miss Delavan possessed
most lovely and unselfsh char
acter. She was by inheritance, birth
and training a gentlwoman in the
fullest, oldest meaning Of that word.
She belonged TO the aristocracy of
learning and cultivation and charm
and one prof Of this lay in the fact
Of her extreme modesty, her gentle
ness. The memory left in the hearts
Of Miss Delavan's many friends is
that Of certain innocence and purity
of soul combined with good sense
and unusual intellectual power. Her
loss will long be felt by those who
knew her best.

WATER SYSTEM
IS A PUZZLE
City Commission is Still Study
ing Matter That Results
May Come.
ARE NOW USING RIVER WATER
Official Carelessness Seems Evident
in Payments Made To Contractor
by City.

Alma is again getting her water
supply from Pine river, and it is
probable that the city will continue
TO pull its water from this source for
the next few weeks at least, while
William +. Reynolds, city manager,
and the city commission are devising
means of securing sufficient water
from the new wells TO supply the en-
tire city.
Just what the city commission may
90 TO get the water which was con-
tracted for with A. K. Purcell of
Jackson, and which is not forthcom-
ing, now that the city wells have been
pumped in unison as called for in the
contract, has not yet been made clear.
The commission is going over the
ground thoroughly to find just what
can be done, but no definite conclu-
sion has been reached.
One thing is certain, however, and
that is that the city viii have a pure
we'll water supply if it can be OBJ
tanned.
In checking up on the payments
made to Purcell, it has been found
that 1,030 was voted to him by the
former council on December II, a
considerable portion of which should
have been retained by the city under
the contract until such time as the
wells were tested in unison. 1t is
understood that this payment was
IrI IA
engineer, informed the council that
the wells were sufficient, TO give the
1000 gallons o1 wqter per minute IS
contracted for. Il, Is also alleged
that there is d Big possibility that
Mr.. White gave this information TO
the council on representations of Mr.
Purcell. Included IN the amount paid
at that time is fifteen per cent OF the
total contract price which was TO
nave been withheld until the wells
We're tested in unison, under the con-
tract.
There Is also another item, which
seems to have slipped through in
some way. On November of last
year Purcell asked for permission
20 move one of his well machines TO
Howell The permission was given
by the council provided that $500
of his next estimate (that of Decem-
Der IL was withheld by the city.
The machine was taken to Howell,
but when the estimate was paid De-
cember IL, this item of $4,000 slipped
through in some way in the estimate
and was paid to Mr.. Purcell.
So instead of having over $4,000
of the contract price on the wells. in
the city treasury, the city has only
$4,000 which under the contract is to
be withheld for a year to see if the
wells are still producing the contract
amount of water which is not yet
forthcoming

PRODUCE REVIEW

Swift d Company's produce re-
view for the past week says that
there is a noticeable decrease in the
amount Of cream being received.
which coupled with the large demand
for butter is making higher prices.
The reserve supply of butter in
storage IS considered heavy by COVE
ernment officials, according TO the
report.
The production of eggs appears 70
be normal, with a smaller demand
for current use than usual.
Poultry is in big demand, with
supply that is smaller than last
week. AS a result the prices are
slightly higher than a week ago. The
supply in storage on July l was
nearly three times the amount in
storage a year ago.

CUT SUCKERS FROM SEED CORN

Farmers should cut all suckers
and undesirable plants from their
seed corn plots" says Prof j. F. Cox
Of the Crops Department at the
Michigan Agriculture College. "This
gives the remaining stalks a chance
to develo better and improves the
seed production"
Many farmers Of the state make it
practice to set aside a small plot
Of corn for seed purposes. This can
be given special attention which would
not be worth while on the general
field. Application Of fertilizers TO
improve the yield and hasten matur-
ity IS one quite common practice on
seed plots, and Prof. Cox now advises
the pulling of all suckers and weak
stalks in order to give the desirable
plants the best chance possible.
