SLIPPER A SUCCESS

The Catholic Ladies Club came to
the rescue last Tuesday with a chick
en- supper that was one OF the most
enjoyable things that Alpha has seen
In many a day. The supper was SER
we'd at the school house with Mrs.
Nap, Liberty and Mrs. Thorpe among
the directors OF the affair.
1 Ii was election day and most OF the
people had been out about town work
ing up an appetite. Likewise more
figured on getting supper at the soc
fable than the ladies figured would be
there and before the last one was
served the chicken ran low but that
didn't dim the success OF the affair
in the least for everyone who ate
there was loud in praise OF the supper
that was served
The ladies were very happy when
the receipts OF the affair were counted
up and they are thankful 10 Mr.. Fred
olin for his splendid assistance and
the many others who donated so liher-
ally also.

the sun was shining on the wrong side
OF the street

MecoRD WHEEL A WINNER
Oificers and Directors OF Go. VIII Meet
to Arrange For Manufacture


That the McCord Spring Wheel which
has been designed and expeimented
with from Alpha, is decided success.
The wheel has been given attention
mainly BY the truck people as It's de-
sign has been for truck purposes
but the inventor Is confident that after
the wheel Is well settled In its place
as a truck wheel. IL can be developed
along the line OF pleasure car wheels
as we'll
The directors and officers OF the
company will meet in Chicago next
Monday 10 make final plans for the
financing and manufacture OF the
wheel The reason for their action at
this time is that the Republic Truck
company has become very interested
In this wheel and after having giving
Il severe trial has concluded that IL
is what they want for their trucks.
The wheel has not been exploited at
all so far. II has simply been in it's
experimental stage. Before Il gets TO
the manufacturing stage It will be
necessary To arrange for the financing
OF the venture and this Il is under
stood TO be the main object OF the
meeting next Monday The Blue Sky
law makes II necessary that any
company proposing to sell stock in
this state have something that will
pass the scrutiny OF the commission,
The directors will pass upon the a.
mount OF stock TO be issued and upon
other matters necessary TO get their
case. up TO the securities commission
at Lansing.
II is understood that the ways are
so creased that there is little liability
OF any hitch in the proceedings be-
tween the financing OF the company
and the immediate manufacture OF the
wheel as there are interests ready TO
take over the burden OF the financing
and also assist in arranging for the
manufacture.
The Alpha people who will be pres
ent at the meeting are Mr. McCord

BASE BALL THIS YEAR

Alpha is TO have base ball this year.
so we are told Dave Mendelson Is
.one OF the members OF the athletic
committee OF the Louis Bowman Post
of the American Legion and he has
made arrangements whereby Alpha
and Crystal Falls will combine and
that one-third of the games will be
played on the Alpha grounds and two
thirds on the Crystal Falls grounds.
Supervisor Perkins has taken a
hand in the matter and he and Com
mander Burridge OF the Crystal Falls
Post agreed on the arrangements two
weeks ago.
This assures us lot OF amusement
and also successful season as the
attendance at Crystal Falls Will un-
douhtedIy be sufficient to make the
games pay while Alpha has a bunch
OF players that will assure a good,
snappy game. The team will be
wholly under the management OF the
American Legion and almost all OF the
players will be ex-service men.

POLITICAL BREEzEs


seems 10 have warmed up the political
blood OF the people OF Alpha for the
talk since that day has been centered
about doings on primary day with oc-
casional reference TO the coming
township contest
One of the most noticeable things
about Tuesdays contest was the mum
ber on women that were out and vot-
ing. The women voters outnumbered
the male voters and some OF the can
didates were the recipients OF especial
female favor. Frank Kazilek figures
that he was was one OF the favored
ones for he has II doped out that the
big majority of his votes were cast by
the ladies.
Pat Raher has spent most OF the
week figuring out how his name came
to be on the bottom OF the list. In
fact the question OF position was
very live one and previous to the
arrival of the ballots--they being held
up in the Crystal Falls post Office
there was a lot OF wonderment in evil
dence early in the morning as TO just
how the lineup would be
In explanation II might be- said
that the primary in the village of Al
pha and in the township OF Mastodon
is not regulated by any law but is
simply the result of agreement in the
direction of nlirness. The officers
might have an old fashioned caucus II
they choose to but they decided that 1t
is much fairer 10 have the names
printed on the ballot and let electors
have plenty of time in which TO vote
rather than resort 10 the hurrah and
the jostling of caucus. The officials
had no design in the order that the
names came upon the ballot.
On ballots printed for primaries held
under the law-and that law covers
county. state and national primaries
the names are placed in alphabetical
order and rotated but in villages and
townships there Is no rotation unless
the people ask for IL.
Out OF the primary comes several
well defined indications. One Is that
Andrew Rysberg is very popular cit
izen OF Alpha and that Captain Good
ney isn't very far behind in popular
ity.
DR.. Edwards received such fine en-
dorsement that he now knows the peo-
pie noted and appreciated his many
efforts in their behalf during the last
two years.
AS war brings rumors OF war, SO
politics breeds rumors OF politics and
the rumor mongers have been excep-
tionally busy the past week. Among
Others are the following:
That George Williams will be can
didate for township clerk
That Carlo Camponi will be a candi-
date for supervisor.
That John X. Hubbard Is liable 70
shy his castor into the ring as a can
didate for supervisor.
That Frank Kazilek may run Tor
village clerk on slips.
That Supervisor Perkins VIII have
no opposition for supervisor,
That one Of the fair sex is apt to be
in the race for clerk OF Mastodon
township.
That pave Kenney is TO be the young
mans candidate for treasurer.
That the Dunn mine crowd Is lying
low. waiting an opportunity to make
the best crop Of hay
And 80 the rumors fly about these
days when the sun Is shining brightly
making one think OF spring and robins
and kids playing mibs and everything
OF that kind that follows the thawing
out OF the cold winter
