as there is chance of bringing
about his nomination for that office.
"Be it finally resolved that we ex-
press our disapproval and condemna-
tion of any party or politicians who
would barter away the safeguards of
our American institutions and jeop-
ardize our national independence by
casting the future of this grand and
glorious country of ours into the
boiling-pot of European revolution.
And in furtherance of this sentiment
and belief, we most heartily commend
and approve the action and efforts of
the Republican Senate or the United
States for its noble and fearless OPP
position TO the so-called League of
Nations" and aprticularly to Article
X thereof, which would bind this
country in future generations to
share not only its money, but its
American manhood in foreign con-
flicts between nations ruled and dom
ineered by designing and ambitious
monarchs.

BIG CROWD ATTENDS
OPENING OF NEW STORE
New Gaffney Style Shop Was
Opened to the Public on
Thursday Evening.

The formal opening of the new
Gaffney Style Shop on State street
was held on Thursday evening, Sep
tember 2, from 1880 until 1000
O'clock, at which time hundreds of
Alma people, who during the past
few months, had been watching the
rebuilding of the former store into
one of the finest stores in the city,
thronged the store to compare it with
the old place, and with other in
stitutions of similar nature.
They were delighted with the new
place, not necessarily because it was
owned by a friend or acquaintance
entirely. but to a great extent be-
cause il gives TO Alma another high
grade modern store, such as are
gradually coming into being in AL
ma, as the new era of the city comes
into being, as the city changes from
farming community, into a prosper
Gus, hustling industrial city. They
were pleased because it was a store
worthy of the new Alma, and which
must reflect great credit upon the
business ability of its owner, Mrs.
Sylvia Gaffney.
The front of the new place Is with
out peer in the city, with its large
display windows, so arranged that
the displays can be taken in at a
glance and with a minimum of effort.
With marble bases around the dis
play windows and the large display
case, located in the center Of the
front, with its tiled corridors leading
to the large entrance door, in the
center, but to the rear of the dis
play case, it is without a question
the finest store front that Alma
boasts. Prism glass installed over
the display windows, throws light in
uniform manner back through the
store.
Numerous new display cases have
been installed in the store, and ais
a group of new dustproof wallcases,
in which the goods are carried, keep
ing them in the best possible condi-
tion, while they are awaiting the
selection Of the customers.

SCHOOLS OPENED
TUESDAY MORNING
New Opening Day Attendance
Record Set As Youngsters
Pack All Buildings.
GOOD YEAR IS PREDICTED
Unusual Interest by Both Pupils and
Teachers In Courses Is
Reported.

In spite of the big shortage of
teachers in all sections Of the coun-
try, the teaching corps Of the local
schools, had been completed some
weeks before the opening Tuesday, at
which time they were all here TO take
charge Of their work, as hundreds or
Alma youngsters flocked TO the
schools to start the new year. The
enrolment this year is exceptionally
good, according to the figures given
out Wednesday by J. w. Kelder,
superintendent, and there is every ex-
pectation that numerous other stu
dents will entel the schools during
the coming few weeks, as has been
the case almost every year in the
past.
With an enrolment that shows a
healthy increase over last year,
making a record attendance for the
opening days of the school year,
there is every prospect that the en-
rollment at the close Of the present
school yeal will also see new marks
established. as the Increase during
the year / expected to be at least as
g>eat as that of a year ago.
The enr 'llment il the iIgt school
is not yet up TO the figures of last
year, but it is known that there are
"A number of high school students
still to enroll, who will greatly swell
the present figures The enrolment
of the high school as given out yes
terday by Superintendent Kelder
was 325.
All of the ward buildings show a
big increase over last year, even to
the temporary Hillcrest school on
the south side. The Washington
school shows the biggest increase
over the opening days of last year.
Last year at this time the Washing
ton school had an enrolment of 349.
This year it was reported as 800.
The Republic school shows an in
crease of from 800 to 41S, and the
Lincoln school an increase of from
4O4 TO 432. The temporary Hill
crest school shows an increase of %.
there being l30 children enrolled
there.
Supt Kelder stated that the in
'structors and the pupils were ap-
parently showing q big interest in
their work, and that there is every
indication that the school year will
be = highly successful one. This is
particularly true in the ward build
ings where manual training and do
mestic science courses have been
added. These courses are attracting
the interest of large number Of pu-
pills in those buildings, giving the in
dication that they will prove not
only instructive to the pupils at the
present time, but courses that will
be extremely valuable to them in
later years.

SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED
Football Schedule of College Team
Is Given Out.

Just what kind of material Coach
Edwin Steele will have at Alma Col
lege this year, is problematical at the
present time, but Judging from the
reports of field workers of the col
lege during the summer months,
there will be number Of good foot
ball men in the class that will enter
the Presbyterian institution this next
week, who with the old men that will
be back, should give the Maroon and
Cream a scrappy aggregation.

scrappy team will be needed if the
eleven is TO make much of showing

tute. Five of the seven games now

collegiate teams, Kalamazoo and AL
bion being the headliners of these
colleges. VI. a. c., Of course. will be
the strongest eleven to be played.
Three Of the seven games scheduled
are to be played in Alma, and it is
probable that at least one more game
will be staged in Alma of those still
to be booked.
The schedule follows:
September 25-Open.

the sacks. In the seventh inning
four hits brought two runs and in the
eighth the Truckers smashed around
another counter.
LeCronier, former Normal star,
who has been winning consistently
for the Transports this season, was
on the mound, and suffered his Sec
ond shutout of the series, both of his
games being against Hagerman. He
was taker for nine good healthy hits
including two doubles. He displayed
poor ability also in holding men on
the sacks, Dunckle getting three
stolen bases and Chouinard one.

ture, the clever first sacker getting
three blows out of four trips to the
