Ex-Service Men Determined To Put
over Salvation Army Drive.

The American Legion has deter
mined to put the Salvation Army
drive over, and will turn out next
Wednesday evening TO render all pos
sible assistance TO Chairman Frank
+. Smith in achieving the goal that
has been set for Alma.
AT the present time the city is
approximately $4,000 short of the goal
that has been set for it, and the
Legionaires have determined to sweep
the city Wednesday evening, with the
determination TO secure pledges for
tn amount that is still needed.
Commander Reese Of the American
Legion post stated yesterday that
Alma has never gone over the top in
Salvation Army drive, and that in
view of the wonderful work of the
Salvation Army during the war, the
post had determined to swing into
action to finish the job, and see that
the Army secures its quota and that
Alma goes over the top.
He also called attention to the fact
that If the ounty goes over on the
drive, the Army is subject to admin
lister anywhere in the county, and
that the public could rest assured
that the Salvation Army would not
be found wanting when it's services
were needed.

MAY FESTIVAL
Charming Event Given at Republic
School Friday Afternoon.

One of the prettiest events of the
year, was the May Festival given at
the athletic grounds of Republic
school last Friday afternoon by the
pupils of the fifth, sixth and seventh
grades of the East Side school.
The setting for the festival was
superb, the natural beauty of the
wooded tract just behind the athletic
grounds, forming magnificent back
ground for the pageant that was
given. The May-pole was wound
with the now famous black and yell
low of Republic Trucks, colors which
have been adopted by the school
which bears the name of Alma's
world famous product.
Admission tags, cut in shield form
representing the Republic shield
netted almost $500, which is to be
used in securing athletic equipment
for the school.
To the instructors of the school
headed by Miss Stitt, and to Garland
hewitt of Mt. Pleasant Normal, who
spent much time in preparing the
pupils for the events, should go the
major portion of the credit for the
success of the affair.
An audience of between three and
four hundred. was present at the
event.

FOR CHILDREN
Children Warned Not Not to Play
i'm Streets.

Police Chief Vibber has some good
advice for the children. which il fol
lowed. should go far toward averting
many accidents.
"Play on the sidewalks or vacant
lots, but never in the street" is the
police officers advice. Roller skate
on the sidewalks, except sidewalks on
the main street, where vehicles can't
harm you. II ball goes into the
street, get il after the vehicles have
passed, but don't chase II regardless
Of danger.
Never hitch or TO automobiles
with carts. As rule, children suffer
the heaviest toll Of deaths, because
they are the most reckless. They
run into and across streets. Children
should remember that they surprise
the motorist when they dash into
the street, and tha; q child can start
quicker thar an automobile can stop"

CHIEF OF POLICE TO
ENFORCE MOTOR LAWS
Warning Issued TO Motorists
That They Must Observe
Speed Laws.

Fast and reckless driving of auto
mobiles and other vehicles is to be
vigorously combatted in Alma this
year, Police Chief Vibber announced
today. Open cut-outs are to be
closed, and speeding drivers to be
slowed up, he said.
I'VE have no desire To work any
injustice to anyone. We are anxious
TO prevent as many accidents as pos
sible before they happen, and we ex-
pect to secure the cooperation of all
motorists in our effort
1T should always be remembered
by drivers that children do the un-
expected: they dash into the street
quicker than a car can be stopped,
and for this reason, drivers should
always have then machines under
control. All are urged to drive slow
~ when passing children or school
houses; and corners should always be
turned slowly.
Under present regulations. driv-
year for reckless driving, which
means driving in manner that en-
dangers life or property, irrespective
of the speed limit or leaving the
scene Of an accident after causing in
jury to a person or damage to prop
erty without giving your name and
address and offering assistance.
always give pedestrians proper
warning signals and don't think your
responsibility ends by merely honk-
ing your horn. 1t is the driver and
not the pedestrian that brings dan
ger into the street. Brakes should
be tested often and kept in condition.
Don't imagine you are within your
rights if you go at the maximum
speed allowed by law"

REPUBLICS WIN
Danville Series Taken by Alma's
Crack Truck Team.

The Barger- White team of Dan
vile, Illinois, industrial champions
of Illinois and Indiana, hit snag in
the Republic Trucks of Alma in the
games in Joe Cannon's Burg during
the past week, the Truckmakers from
Alma grabbing the two games out Of
three that weather conditions per
mtted
The Yellow and Black warriors
played on a field that was not CON
dusive to good baseball. and in spite
of the fielding slips caused for this
reason, the Truckers were able TO
make merry at the expense of the
Illinois factory champs
In each of the two games, won IS
to > and 8 TO ,, the Republics pound
ed the opposing hurler from the box
in the first inning. and then found il
a very difficult matter to hit the sue
ceeding pitcher That did not mat
ter, however, as in each game the
Truckmakers sewed up the games in
the opening inning.
Big Bob Sherlow. the GI.atiot pro-
duct. was sent TO the mound to de
liver the first game of the trio. and
a fine job the big lad made of it,
Seven hits were taken by the Barger-
White clan, but they did not prove
enough to shove around the runs that
were needed to pull down the lead
that the Republics had taken.
In this game the Republics
f,,., ~ -, H..
ing inning for four runs, before he
was pulled from the danger zone, and
given a place on the bench. The sue
ceeding twirler handed up fine
brand Of baseball, being taken for
just two runs during the balance Of
the game.
On Sunday rip" Hagerman in his
usual fine form, just simply wouldn't
let the Illinois team hit the pill. One
hit was all that he allowed during
the nine frames, and this coupled
with Truck errors handed the visit
ors two runs.
The Republic landed on Jack Car
roll, formerly of the Wyandotte team
for five runs in the opening inning,
the attack coming so fast that the
game was lost before the derrick
could be applied The succeeding
hurler allowed just one hit during
the seven innings in which he
worked.
The game that was scheduled for
Monday afternoon in Danville was
rained off. possibly saving the in
dustrial champs of Indiana and III
nois from taking another defeat at
the hands Of the Republics Of Alma.
The Danville team is considered TO
be the best that the Republic Trucks
have played this year, and il is pos
sible. indeed probable, that the poor
choice displayed in the selection Of
the pitchers to oppose the Truckers
had much 20 do with the ease with
which "Har1k- Olmstead's men tied
up these games.

ANT|.V|CE CASE
IS BEING TRIED
Seek $4,000 DAMAGES From A
Former Health Officer
in Suit.
SOME SURPRISES EXPECTED
Defendant May Ask Court for a
Directed Verdict on
Friday.

The case Of Nina Mccall Rock, who
is suing DR.. T. j. Carney, Miss Ida
Peck and others for $4,000, was
started in circuit court in Ithaca
Tuesday, and is still on trial, the case
going slowly because of the length
of time that the various witnesses
are being kept on the stand.
There was very little trouble eX-
perienced in the securing of jury
to try the case, and it got well under
way before Tuesdays session came
TO an end.
Wednesday the principal witnesses
were Nina Mccall Rock. and her
mother, Mrs. Van Norman, and much
matter of interest in regard to the
case was brought out. but little, in
the opinion of some who were pres
ent, that would be of damaging
nature TO the defendants. Ii is said
that the Rock girl made some adms-
sions on the stand under cross exam
ination that are very liable to prove
damaging to her case, once it gets in
the hands of the jury.
1t was fairly well shown Wednes
day that the funds which were being
used in putting up the court battle
against DR.. Carney, the former local
health officer. were secured for the
greater part from various Alma citi-
Zens.
1t is evidently the intent of the
plaintiff in the case to endeavor to
use Il technicality, the claim being
that DR.. Carney had exceeded his
authority under the law in the mat
ter, but rumors this morning were
that a witness Will go on the stand
for the defendant today to clear up
the alleged claim of exceeded author
ity on the part Of Carney.
II is understood also that if the
plaintiff in the case does not bring
forth stronger evidence today. that
the defendants attorneys may ask
the court for directed verdict on
Friday.
