Print Paper Situation is Serious
Paper Wasted in Comic Sections of the Big Dailies
Would Go Far Toward Relieving Present Shortage

The print paper situation has become so
serious that, the smaller dailies and weeklies
are facing extinction unless there is some re-
lief. The large city dailies are wasting so
much paper that smaller towns and cities
may soon have to depend upon the cities en-
tirely unless there is some relief
For illustration on Sunday, April 18, one
of the large city daiies in Detroit got out an
edition of one hundred eight pages. Thirty
two pages would have provided for all the
worth while material in the paper, and the
extra paper used on that one day, after al
lowing them thirty-two pageS-which is the
size of the Record and the Gratiot County
Herald put together-wOuld supply the Rec
ord for twelve years and twenty-seven
weeks. And this was only one of the many
big Sunday dailies that wasted paper.
There is nothing that is more vital to the
life of village or small city than its news
paper, and the people in every country COM
munity should rally to the support of the To-
cal papers 1t is a matter of more vital i'm
portance to the community than to the in
dividuals engaged in the business. 1t is vital
to the community life, but the individual can
do something else
The following from the Hastings Banner
is a clear statement of the case. Read and
reflect:
Last week the Banner announced that af-
Ter July 4 Tic price VI lIIt paper WOuiu idNC
= to be So 90 per year. If the price of print pa
per stays where it is there will have to be a
further increase, for reasons which we will
explain, and which our readers can readily
see Four years ago the Banner bought its
last carload of low-priced print paper, pay
ing little less than 2 cents pound ($1.92
per 100 lbs. to be exact). Then $4,000 ID.
car of print cost little less than $1,000.
To-day that same paper is selling at 13 cents
(n,. llc \ at thf or.
aronud 15c per ID. including freight, carriage
and expense of hauling in our basement.
$4,000 10. car at to-day's quotations would
therefore cost around $7500-or S6,500
more than it cost four years ago. One years
issue (52 copies) of the Banner will weigh
about Is pounds. Thus when the Banner
was selling at $1.00 per year, and print pa
per was costing less than cents pound the
print paper for years subscription cost us
little less than 80 cents, leaving a margin
of 70 cents toward meeting other expenses
of getting out the paper

HELD MEETING
Gratiot County Good Health Society
Members Here.

A meeting Of the Gratiot County
Good Health society. was held last
week in the Wright House parlor.
The report of the treasurer showed
the society had about 81 500 on hand
and the society decided to use this
fund for permanent county medical
clinic and a public health nurse.
Mrs. Sheppard was elected a dele
gate to the state convention held in
the senate chamber of tha capitol
Lansing, April 27 and 28.
Mrs. Shepard attended the conven-
ton and reports that there are no
public health nurses available at
present, much TO her disappointment,
as she was very anxious to start the
monthly clinic May lst, but as this
society cannot secure a public health
nurse at present, DR.. DeKleine, the
state president, advised not opening
the clinic until nurse can be Sc
cured.
There will be a directors meeting
of this society in a short time and
they will then decide on just what
work Will be taken up by this organ
ization. The money in the treasury
Of this society was obtained through
the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals
and this society should be heartily
commended for the success ir-raising

remodeling of the front Of the hotel
the dining room, the lobby, the max
ing of modern hotel rooms, and the
installation of new modern heating
plant.
The work is expected to take sever
al weeks, and will probably cost in
the neie borhood of $4,000. The ex-
act cos. cannot be estimated at the
present time, owing to the fact that
the plans have not yet been complete
ly worked out, and because of the
rapidly changing costs of material.

GAS COMPANY HAS

The joint application of the Gra-
tiot County Gas company, serving
this city, st. Louis, Ithaca and Breck-

Public Utilities Commission Monday,
and asks that the commission fix a
rate for the company and to take
jurisdiction over the affairs of the
company.
The company asks for authority 70
issue S60,00000 worth of par value,
7 per cent preferred stock, which is
to be sold at not less than 80. Ac-
cording TO an article in yesterdays
State Journal, the company wants its
gas rate boosted to $500 gross or
S1.85 net, temporarily, pending the
appraisal of the property by the com
mission.
In its petition it is set forth that
the company is desirous of making
the following improvements at the
Alma plant, from the sale of the
proposed stock: One 100000 cubic

START CONCERTS
Alma Masonic Band Will Give Week
ly Concerts Very Soon.

Frank j. Tucker of the Alma Ma
sonic band stated yesterday that il
was now expected that the organiza-
tion would start giving weekly con-
certs in the city, commencing in
about two weeks.
These concerts will either be given
in the city park or else on the street.
This will be decided later, as will the
question as to what evening will be
used for these concerts. The new
uniforms for the organization are
ready, and the new Masonic band will
as a result be as fine looking organ
ization as it is capable. Capable it
will be, without question, as the
band contains some of the finest wu-
sicians, about twenty of them, that
the city has within its confines. Dur
ing the past weeks the band has been
practicing two or three times each
week, every effort having been made
to bring the organization up TO the
high standard that Alma people de-
sire.
Since the disbanding of the famous
Republic band, Alma has been with
out an organization of this kind, and
is certain to extend big welcome to
the new band, which numbers in its
personnel some of the well known
musicians, who were members of the
Republic band, which made such hit
on its tour Of the country few years
years ago.

INTERCHURCH COMMITTEE
Hear Reports on Financial Drive
Churches DO Well.

Monday evening the Interchurch
committee, which has in charge the
canvassing of men Of good will in
order TO raise Alma's quota of the
National lnterchurch budget, met at
the First State Bank. Reports then
presented show that the campaign
outside the churches is tagging some
what. In the churches, although final
statements are not in, the prospect
seems to be that all will go over the
top. The decision of the committee
was TO press on in the work until all
persons on the lists now out shah
have been seen and all corporations
heard from. Everyone who is ap-
preached will need to be generous OF
Alma will fail of her quota.
The church first to report itself
over the top was the Baptist church.
This church had quota of $1,000 to
be paid in four years. The entire
sum (about $2.25O per year, was
pledged the first Sunday of the pres
ent campaign.
The NJ. r. church had most of its
work done inasmuch as pledges were
taken from the people of that congre-
CATION last year, the same to run for
five years. Newcomers had to be
seen, however, this year. Other con-
gregations in the city cooperating in
the campaign reported good progress.
Out at Eastminster chapel, stimu-
lated by the activity of the churches
at large and given splendid impetus
by their recent revival, the workers
are out after a budget of $1,000. Of
this $500 will go to the Interchurch
goal for benevolent and missionary
purposes and the remainder for local
expenses. This sum is all to be paid
this year. One or two large contri-
buttons already received insure the
success Of Eastminster's efforts.
In the Presbyterian church the
workers are seeking to raise a total
budget Of $l1 ,s98.50 in one year This
sum includes $4,000 to go toward the
Interchuich goal, $5,l70 for current
expenses for the church for this year
and $3,l85 TO cover a debt now rest
ing on the church. The whole sum is
to be covered by pledges taken at
this time and no further appeal is
then TO be made throughout the year.
In the county outside Of Alma the
churches generally are going over the
top. There is a stimulus in working
shoulder 10 shoulder. The corpora
tions and men of good will are also
giving. pretty generally as fast as
they are solicited. In the case Of cor
poratiois some delay is experienced,
inasnuch as the matter has generally
to be acted upon by the board Of di-
rectors.

HEAVIER SEEDING ADVISED

Because of the unusually late seas
on, farmers should use more oat and
barley seed in their planting this
spring, declares Prof. J. +. Cox, head
Of the M. A. c. Farm Crops Depart
ment Instead of the usual six To
eight peck per acre, growers are adj
vised TO plant nine or ten pecks to
the acre.
"The majority Of Michigan farm
ers will be forced to plant their oats
and barley in May this year." says
Professor Cox. Oats planted as late
as this will not stool as well as usual
and a heavier planting is advisable.
Nine or ten pecks Of either oats or
barley should be planted TO the acre
this spring"
