MILL CHANGE
IS CERTAINTY
First Payment on Property Has
Been Made by Backers of
Enterprise.
BOARD or TRADE ACTIVE
Notices Sent Out Asking Local
Stockholders to Make Payment
on Stock.

Rumors during the past several
days that the plan TO organize a
company and take over the Alma Rol-
Ter Mills, had fallen flat, have been
proven to be without the slightest
foundation in fact, as the first pay
ment on the property, said TO be S15,-
900, has now been made and ID. l..
Johnson of the Alma Board Of Trade
is sending out notices this week, that
in view of this fact that the payment
of fifty percent of the amount sub
scribed by local people in the venture
is now due.
The large payment that has been
made by John Hicks of st. Johns,
James Crawford and James Gibbs Of
Ithaca, and A. F. Crawford of Breck-
enridge, who will be heavily interest
ed in the new venture, insures the
fact that the proposition is far from
death matter, but that it is certain
to be concluded within the next seve-
raj days.
Within the next few days these
men will make the balance of the
payment that they are expected to
make for the property, it is certain.
Alma people subscribed to 1000
shares of stock in the company, which
is being formed TO take over the AL
ma Roller Mills, and the notices that
are being sent to them ask that they
make the initial payment Of fifty
per cent of the cost of the stock be-.
fore the week is over. The payments
can be made at either bank. In or
der that the matter may be closed
up at the earliest possible moment,
the business men of the city are
urged strongly to make the fifty per
cent payment this week.
1t is expected that within a very
short time now that the Alma Rol-
Ter Mills will again be opened and
in operation, aiding greatly in again
making Alma the big market center
of Gratiot~ county, if not of central
Michigan. Better roads, into Alma,
made possible through the state road
bond issue, which while still far from
what is expected to come in the fut-
ure, are better than ever before, and
wiz also aid in attracting farmers
to this city to dispose of their grains
and to make their purchases in the
future, when the roller mills is again
IN operation. While, perhaps SEEM
ingly of small Importance to some
people in Alma, it is a matter that
should be of vital interest to every
resident of the city. Anything that
will aid in making a community a
still better one, is a worth while
project, and as such should be given
the whole hearted support of the
citizenry of Alma, il the hopes of
the future are to be realized.
This proposition is just one of
many things that the business men
of Alma are hopeful Of for the fut-
ure, and the experienced millers who
are coming into Alma to invest their
money should be given all possible
cooperation in making the venture
the success that it should be.

The 1920 season of the Republic

the most successful seasons that a

On Friday evening. October 20. in
the post office hall, the Women's
Auxiliary of the American Legion of
this city, will give Halloween
dance, which they hope to make one

at $1.00 each, and the proceeds from
the dance are to be used in fitting up
the club room of the George w.

In view of the purpose for which
the ladies are seeking the funds that
the dance will bring, the event should
have a two-fold purpose in bringing
out the dancers of the city for the
evenings entertainment and recrea-
tion. A good orchestra will furnish
the music, the ladies intending to
leave nothing undone that will pro-
mote the success of the afafir.

v|BBER ARRESTS
TWO B00TLEGGERS
Cadillac Roadster and IA Quarts
Of Liquor COnfiscated
by Officers.
CLAIM TO Be OETRO|TERS
AT Hearing Before Justice Rogers
Tuesday They Were Bound
Over for Trial.

Two men giving their names as j.
L. Thompson and Joseph Brennan of
Detroit, are lodging in the county
jail awaiting trial on charge Of vi
olating the liquor laws, and Oscar
Vibber, chief of police, is in posses
sion of "a quarts of liquor, and a
Cadillac roadster, that the men
were using to distribute the booze,
through this section of the state.
The two men were arrested here
Saturday night, and the automobile
and booze confiscated by the local
police officials, following several
hours of work on the part of Vibber
in lining up the case against the two
men, who were arrested Saturday
evening, when in their car, which
held the liquor, giving the officials
a "cinch" case against the two men.
Chief Vibber got a tip at an early
hour Saturday that the men were to
be in Alma with the liquor, and all
during the day he worked on the
case. Early in the evening the auto
mobile was spotted, parked in front
of Burkheiser's store.
Vibber laid his plans for the arrest
of the men the minute they returned
TO the automobile, and when the ar
rest was made four officers were in
the immediate vicinity, prepared for
any emergency that might arise.
The men submitted quietly TO the ar
rest, however.
They were taken before William
II. Rogers, justice of the peace, i'm
mediately, where they were ar
raigned. Bail was fixed at $1,000
for each Of the men. 1t was not fur
nished, and the men were taken TO
Ithaca, where they were lodged in
the county Jail.
Tuesday the hearing of the two
men was held before Rogers, and
they were bound over to circuit court
TO stand trial. Bail was then fixed
at 81 900 for each of the two men. II
was not furnished during the day.
but it is rather expected that at
tempts will be made to bail them out.
Considerable credit is due to the
local officers in the case, and partic-
ularly to Oscar Vibber, chief of the
department, who worked up the case
In clever way. 1t is understood
that the two men offered Vibber
good thing, if he would let them go
Saturday night, but the official re-
fused. Tuesday evening at the COM
mission meeting Mayor Murphy ex-
pressed himself as highly pleased at
the conduct of the officer, who could
easily have allowed the men to escape
and to have made a good thing out

CRIMSON DEFEATED
C0LLEGIANS q TO 6
Olivet Aggregation Proved Well
Trained, Heavy, and Strong
Grid Team.

The Alma College football team
dropped the opening NJ. l. A. A. game
of the season to Olivet Saturday on
the Crimson field by a score Of 21
to 6, some hard luck humping the
local outfit at various stages during
the game, penalties in two or three
instances killing off chances for
touchdowns, while on one or two
other occasions fumbles killed scor-
ing chances for the Maroon and
Cream.
Olivet scored soon after the open
ing game, when Foster attempted to
knock down a Crimson pass. Instead
he knocked the pass into the air
again and when it came down, il
landed in a surprised Crimson play
ers arms. With a clear field ahead,
it was an easy matter for Field to
go the 30 yards to the goal line.
During the balance of the first
half Alma played rings around the
Crimson team, but fumbles and pen
alties, at critical stages killed off
scoring chances and forced Alma to
kick Oh the last downs. Just before
the half ended Alma, with Beattie
and Foster carrying the ball,
smashed through the Crimson de-
fense, carrying the oval from the AL
ma thirty yard line TO the Olivet
twenty when the whistle blew. with
Alma seemingly having a touchdown
"a almost wifi bat. orracp
Olivet's second touchdown in the
third quarter was well earned, being
secured on a series Of line smashes,
end runs and some good forward
passes. Alma came back at the
Crimson fighting mad after the sec
ond touchdown. Injuries had forced
Hale and Foster to the sidelines and
handley and Walker went into the
game. The two men gained practic-
ally at will, and in no time Alma had
the pigskin in front of the Crimson
goal. Handley smashed the line for
the final three yards. Alma started
another march, following the next
kickoff, but the quarter ended before
Alma could score. In the final quart
er Alma continued her march, almost
until the Olivet goal was reached.
when a tumble that Olivet recovered,
killed off the opportunity to count.
Just before the game ended, after
Olivet had carried the ball back into
Alma territory, Ruhl, Olivet's right
end, circled his team and on a long
end run of nearly 30 yards again
planted the ball behind the Alma
goal
Injuries hurt Alma chances to
score, and caused Coach Steele to use
every man on the squad. Barabeau,
after being ham-strung three times,
was forced from the game. Hileman,
the giant guard, was early forced to-
the sidelines. McNaughton was
chased by the "umps," while Foster
and Hale were also forced to leave
the game, injuries being the reason
in their case.
