MORE GRAETERS

Now we are RECALLED with a story
of grating in the emergency fleet
corporation of the shipping board,
during the war period. IL is about
the same old story of extravaganza,
favoritism, the paying of high prices
for supplies, the feeling of those who
did the buying and the selling, the
padding of pay-rolls, thefts Of sup
plies and equipment, the sale of per-
fectly good plants to favorite ones at
ridiculous prices, and so on.
We probably shall have to go
through a prolonged period Of SINH
lar revelations, wherein government
agencies will be exposed az function
ing improperly during the war The
change in administration means that
that there must be a housekeeping
at Washington, and a house-cleaning
means an exposition Of the petty and
big grafters in the democratic re-
gime.
The more experience we have with
government operation the more con-
WINGED we become that government
should keep its hands off everything
except those things it must tackle.
During the war we heard a great
deal about the dollar n year men
who were going to take efficiency
into government affairs. But it
doesn't seem as if they could upset
the old system, so thoroughly in
grained. Some of those men honest
ly tried TO put business methods into
government, but they couldn't. The
system beat them.
We would like to have someone ex-
plain why perfectly honorable and
otherwise honest men, when they get
into government work, forget all
their old ethics and begin to become
portion of the machine of graft.
Why 1t is difficult to handle public
moneys as one handles the money of
private individuals? Isn't there
something fundamentally wrong in
our education? Isn't there something
rotten at home, where those impress
sions must be first received Grand

Mt Pleasant-Alm Game Expected
to BE Hard Fought Contest

The big game of the local season,
between Mt. Pleasant and Alma high
schools will be staged Friday after
noon at 800 o'clock on Davis field,
and is expected to be one of the most
bitterly contested games of the en-
tire season.
Alma is out for revenge in this
game, revenge for the defeat last
year at Mt. Pleasant, and the 6 to G
defeat here two years ago, and with
the Orange and Black elan primed to
fight to finish Mt. Pleasant is GER
tain to find the going hard and
rough, if she succeeds in slipping
over victory again this season.
Except for Captain Marzoff, injured
in the first play of the Flint Central
game last Saturday, the entire team
is in fine shape for the fray, and
feels certain that it can take the
measure of the lads from the Normal
Town. although dope gives tie Isa-
bella County team an edge on the

which is proclaiwing undisputed
honors TO the central Michigan
championship. Mt. Pleasant has de-
feated st. Louis by larger scores than
Alma, won from Ithaca, which took
fluke 2 to 0 game from Alma, and
whaled Owosso, which defeated Alma
g 70 0. Her team has not played
since Arnistice day, and has thus
had ten days rest, so that there is
not cripple on her squad.
With both teams in good shape, il
is certain that the one that goes to
defeat must acknowledge the other
as superior aggregation.
Mt. Pleasant-Alma games are al
ways real football battles, and with
Alma out to muss up the central
Michigan title by defeating Mt.

Gov. Sleeper Issues Thanks

The following Thanksgiving
Day proclamation has been is
sued by Governor Sleeper:
Praise waiteth for thee, q.
God, in Zion; and into thee
shall the vow be performed.
Thou crownest the year with
thy goodness; and thy paths
drop fatness.
The pastures are clothed with
flocks; the valleys also are
covered over with corn; they
shout for JOY, they also sing"
Following the custom estab-
lished by our fathers nearly
three hundred years ago, it is
entirely fitting that we should
set apart one day in the year
as Thanksgiving Day.
We have gathered this year
a most abundant harvest. We
have enough and to spare. Our
own people will be fed, and out
Of our abundance we shall help
TO satisfy the worlds hunger.
For this and for other bless
ings, for peace at home and
abroad, for the general spirit
of content, for work to do and
the will to do it, the people of
Michigan may well give thanks
and make solemn and public
acknowledgement Of their debt
to the Most High.
Therefore, !, ALBERT f.

State Of Michigan, do hereby

CLOSE SEASON
Steele Coached Eleven Finishes the
Season with Kalamazoo.

The 1920 football season of the AL
ma collegians will close Saturday at
Kalamazoo, when Coach Steele leads
his cohorts against the fast Orange
and Black aggregation on the Celery
City field, in what is expected will
be one of the hardest games that
the Maroon and Cream has gone
through this season.
The Alma eleven is in far from
good shape for the final game, how
ever, because of numerous injuries

certain TO keep some Of the backs Of
the team out Of the fray. At the
present time there is little prospec.
that Walker. castro, or Hale will
get into the game. While Jimmy
Beattie and Verne Hsndley will go
against the Celery City grid artists.
neither Of these men will be in the
best of shape, and while Steele is
leaving no stone unturned to put
the backficld in the best possible
shape for the battle, the chances are
that it will not be as strong az il
