uous resident of this city since 1882
died at the home of his niece, Mrs
A. j. Clum of Lafayette township, or
Thursday, June 3, at the age Of 81
years.
M. F. Burkhead was born in Har-
rison county, Ohio, February 8

During his younger life, Mr.. Burk-

No Cause for Action
Is the Court Result
Dr. Thomas ]. Carney is Completely Exonorated
in Highly Important Case on Our
Health Laws
ISLANDER MERCHANTS
Five Hundred Dollars Reward OF.
fered for Apprehension of Guilty.

A malicious story has been cir
.culated in Alma during the past
week to the effect that several Alma
merchants have been arrested by
government agents and fined various
sums for profiteering. The story, as
repeated, relates that a person would
call at "a store, price an article, buy
it, and then ask the merchant to see
the invoice, telling the merchant that
the buyer was a federal agent, and
displaying the official badge. The
invoice invariably showed that the
merchant was making one hundred
per cent profit, an arrest would fol-
low, and the merchant gladly paid
the fine to save a Jail sentence.
The Record has made very care
full investigation of these stories and
finds that they are absolutely untrue.
Such stories are not only malicious
and hurtful to both the individual and
the city, but they are silly on the face
If them. No one pays a fine without
standing trial and being duly convic.-
be an arrest, a regular trial, and a
court record, all Of which is open to
inspection so tnat the facts may be
easily attained
1t seems almost beyond belief that
amy person Of sound sense and judy
ment would repeat story of this
kind without first obtaining the facts
which could be attained with very
little trouble. This same sort of story
is being circulated all over the state
and back of it somewhere there must
be malicious propaganda. 1t is well
for people to remember that the per
son who repeats slander is just as
guilty in the eyes of the court as the
one who starts it.
A representative of the Michigan
Retailers Association was in ehe city
yesterday, and it has been determined
to run down the guilty parties and
bring them to justice. A reward Of
five hundred dollars is offered for evil
dence that will lead to the arrest and
conviction of any party or parties
guilty Of this outrage against Alma
business men and the fair name OF
the city.
There should be no knockers or re-
peaters of evil stories in our city. We
all live here. 1t is our home city and
we should defend its fair name as
we would defend our homes. There
should be no room for slander. 1t is
vicious, unjust, and does untold harm
to both city and individual. Do not
tell anything derogatory to neigh
Dor unless you have personal knowl-
edge Of the facts and then only re-
peat it for the purpose of protecting
the public and not as mere idle
gossip which is always harmful.

DETROIT ALL STARS
COMING TO THIS CITY
Famous Detroit Team Will BE
Here For Two Twilight Games
This Coming Week.

The famous Detroit Colored Stars
considered by many as the strongest
colored aggregation in the world,
will meet the Alma Republics here
next week Thursday and Friday,
June II and Is, on Republic field in
two games that will furnish the
hottest test that the Truckmakers
have ever had.
The Detroit team has been well
known with Michigan fans for some
years as a fast aggregation, but
during the past two or three years
has been stronger than ever and has
defeated nearly every team of i'm
portance that it has played and
seldom has lost series of baseball
contests. 1t has just finished a
series with the Toledo colored team
for the colored championship of the
world. In view of the strength of
the Chicago All Stars, and other col
ored teams, the fact that the De-
troit team has been able TO stage
such a series, shows that it ranks
among the best.
1t has defeated practically every
team that the Republics have met
and defeated in the past year and
half, and will furnish a fine test for
the strength Of the Truckers this
year.
The Republics know that they have
two real battles on their hands with
the Detroiters and are making every
effort to be in top shape for the two
games, and will not conceed that the
Detroit All Stars can defeat them
until the trick has been turned.
Manager Olmstead is certain to send
his best pitching talent against the
Stars in the effort to stop the bril-
liant record that the Detroiters have
been piling up. Hagerman is certain
to be the pitching selection for one
of these games and it is probable
that Big Bob Sherlow will be chosen
for mound duty in the other game.
Alma will see twilight baseball in
this series, as the midweek games
with the Stars on Thursday and
Friday are to be called at 500 p.
m.
At noon today it was stated that
the Republic and Alma stores would
close at 500 p. m. for these games.
Games will be called at 500.

RESUME CAMPAIGN
College Ia Continue Drive for $780,
900 Before March 81, 1921.

At a meeting of the trustees of
Alma college Tuesday plans were for
mulated for the continuance Of the
campaign by which the institution
expects to raise the first 100000 of
the fund that it expects to add to the
college endowment. This fund is to
be raised before March 81, 1921, if
these plans mature properly.
The Presbyterian College Board
has offered a substantial sum for the
endowment provided that the college
raises a certain amount before March
81, 1921, and it is for this reason that
this date has been set for the close of
the first drive for additional endow-
ment for the Presbyterian college of
Michigan.

ertop tells how old Mother Rigby, a
reputed witch Of New England days
converted corn-patch scarecrow into
the semblance of fine gentleman,
and how she dispatched him to play a
part in the world and what became of
him.
