company has ever had, and it is
coming here with full determina-
tion to take the series from the Re-
public Trucks.
The Danville team has made a fine
record this year, and is expected to
prove to be a formidable team. It
as number of former high grade
leaguers in the lineup.
The Republic Trucks naturally are
figuring on taking at least two of
the three games, and are hopeful
that the trio may be grabbed off.
Every effort will be made by the
Yellow and Black to continue the
brilliant run of victories that the
Republics have been making this
season.

PLANS UNDER WAY
FOR BIG ASSEMBLY
Church Workers Will Meet at
Rock Lake from August
to August Is.

Folders are out announcing the
Rock Lake Assembly for August /
TO 10, 1920. This assembly was
started last year and proved such a
success that it was decided to make
it an annual event.
The Assembly is to be held on the
east side of Rock lake in what is
known as Stauffer's grove, Mr..
Stauffer having given a site for the
erection of the assembly building.
The building is to be improved this
year and several changes made.
The program this year is to be
better than last, if that be possible,
and the schools of methods will be
held in the afternoon instead of the
forenoon so that those in the vicin-
ity will be able to attend in larger
numbers.
Lots are being sold and already
are coming in for camp
ing sites and tents. All sites are
free but reservation should be made
before the assembly starts. Tents
may be secured from the manage
ment.
Great addresses and eloquent SER
mons on every Sunday and evenings
during the week, and fine music and
special numbers on the program from
time to time will make II worth

STILL HOPE FOR
ROAD PAVEMENT
Difficulty of Securing Cement
May Hold Up State Work
in Alma.
CAR SHORTAGE THE TROUBLE
Efforts Being Bended to Secure the
Number of Cars Needed
to Move Ii.

Whether or not Alma will be able
to secure the paving of the trunk
line highways within the corporate
limits of the city this year, is still a
question that remains for decision,
and the decision is independent upon
at least two highly important factors.
Upon these same factors will depend
to pave the few blocks Of streets that
are also in line for Improvement this
summer.
The biggest proposition that is
confronting the city in its efforts to
obtain the paving of the trunk lines
within the city this year, now that
the bonds for the cost of the work
have been underwritten, is the scare
ity of freight cars. This might seem
offhand to be no reason at all, but
because of the situation with the
railroads in acting in the capacity of
carriers, it becomes, perhaps the
prime factor.
1t will require, it has been esti-
mated. n freight cars to move ce-
ment enough to Alma from the
plants, for the state road work.
These n freight cars would be load
ed with $4,000 barrels of cement,
and this would mean full loads for
all of them. 1t would require the
services of a few more cars to bring
the cement needed for the other
street wonk.
1t is no easy matter to obtain the
spotting of freight cars now, when
they are extremely scarce, and it
would be a much more difficult mat
ter to get nearly 80 of them.
The state has been experiencing
any amount of trouble in this re-
spect, and is finding itself unable to
obtain cars to move the quantity of
cement that it needs in various parts
of the state. AS a result, it is semm-
Ugly up to Alma TO devote her efforts
also, in this respect.
While it is understood that most of
the cement concerns have cement on
hand there is no certainty that this
quality of cement can be obtained.
If it can be, this factor that might
hold up the work would be eliminated
and the whole matter would revolve
around the securing of cars to move
the cement from the plants to Alma.
In some quarters here, it is be-
lieved that the city will be able to
bring influence to bear in various
sources, and that it will thus be pos
sible to secure the freight cars need
ed to move the cement to Alma.
Officials of the state highway de-
partment will be in Alma Friday at
which time it is expected that this
natter, as well as matters pertaining
% the drainage from the state trunk
inc paving will be taken up.
