lean farmers face a new era which
will be marked by a steady i'm
provement in marketing conditions,
despite the present discouraging
low price of farm products, speak
ers declared today at the 0pening
session of the fifteenth annual in
ternational farm conference
Confidence in the future of the
farming industry was expressed
and farmers were warned of the
danger of cutting production.
Marketing of products on hand
rather than future production
pans drew the principal discus
sion at the first session.
Condemnation of the conditions
which brought about the decline
in prices of farm products was
voiced. Transportation was blamed
by some for inability to market
products when prices were higher
and boards of trade generally were
denounced.
Despite calamitously low prices
a real era for the farmers is at
hand" declared Dr. T.. o, Lyman,
of Utah, vice president, who di-
rected the meeting in the absence
of Senator Arthur Capper, of Kan
sas, president.

situation will emerge greater

BUILDING MATERIAL
PRICES DECLINE
Manager of Company Here In
dicates Slump That Has
Come in Prices.

Lumber prices are on the decline
in Alma. says Harry Gerber. mana
ger Of Alma's hustling lumber COM
panies, the slump in the local market
following closely that Of the state
and nation.
Mr.. Gerber pointed out that the
managers of the local concerns have
been following the market conditions
very closely during recent months,
and that the changed prices here,
averaging from % per cent to 81
per cent, give local market prices
that are as low as those to be found
elsewhere in the state.
1t was pointed out that when the
decline in lumber prices was started
in Detroit recently, that the Alma
markets were at that time under the
Detroit prices, and that while prices
there dropped slightly more than
they have here, that the costs in both
Detroit, other Michigan cities and in
Alma, now compare very favorably.
There is every indication that the
slump in lumber will do much to
stimulate increased building activi-
ties in Alma this coming year, es-
pecially in housebuildyg, where the
community has experienced great
shortage in the past few years.
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1920-12-07

purchasing power Of the public is so
reduced that the decline in the price
of commodities loses its meaning
Prices. indeed, remain as high as
they ever were relatively, because
mems means are proportionately far
less than when both wages and COM
modities were high. Remember:
Low prices indicate for greater hard-
ship than do high prices. The man
who looks back with yearning upon
the low prices Of the nineties either
did not live in those days or else has
forgotten that, though prices were
low, wages were still lower.
To stop buying is TO invite a ca
tastrophe; 20 continue buying mod
orately and sensibiy-is TO eDcourage
prosperity.
When the wheels stop turning,
they stop for all Of us-not for the
merchant and manufacturer only.

BOOSTING WEEK

1t was with fear and trembling,
but with firm determination to do
its share in boosting the Chamber Of
Commerce drive, that The Record de-
cided to issue a special edition this
week in cooperation with the Alma
Chamber of Commerce.
There was a realization among the
members of the force that for the
next few months at least, The Record
is not as well prepared to issue a

fact coupled with the fact that it
would be useless TO attempt TO Sc
cure wire service on a special daily
for some five days, makes the mat
ter a difficult one. Yet yesterdays
publication, and today's shows what
can be done simply with determina-
ton. Later conditions may be diff
ferent-in that they will be better
and it may then be possible TO issue
a small live daily.
The present issues have their
shortcomings, we know. But as

bear fruit In addition to the special

POLICE WILL
PUNCH CLOCK
Chief Will BE Able to Keep in

INSTALL NEW INSTRUMENTS
Beats Will Be Arranged So That
Officers Will Ring Up Three
Times.

Very shortly it will be impossible
for Alma policemen to loaf on the
Job, even though they may be de-
sirous of doing so. Plans that are
nearing maturity will prevent this,
as the members of the force will
soon be asked to punch the clock,
when they make their rounds of the
main streets.
In this way il will be possible TO
check up the movements of the va
rious policemen with fair degree Of
accuracy at all times day or night,
something that has not been possible
in past years.
Through the city commission Os-
car Vibber, chief Of police, has Sc
cured three boxes ;or this purpose.
One of these will be placed at Park
avenue, one at the city hall and one
on East Superior street, near the
river
The route of the various members
of the police force will be so laid out
that they should cover certain ter
ritory in a certain length of time.
As they make their rounds of the re-
spective beats, they will be expected
to ring in at the three boxes. Should
they ring in at a different time than
that which it will be expected that
they should, naturally an eXplana-
ion will be looked for
Should any one make complaint
that any member of the police force
is "ioafirg" on the io1- it will be
fairly easy To check up the com
plant by the use Of the Instruments
