ALMA COMMUNITY
COUNCIL WORKING
Committees Are Seeking Data
Regarding the Conditions
in this City.
DELINQUENCY BIG problem
Corrective Measures to Be Planned
for Evils Found in the
NeighbOrhOod.

Committees are now delving deep
ly into Alma affairs with a view Of
ascertaining the needs of the COM
munity, that the Alma Community
Council may be better prepared to
work to advantage in securing for
the city those things which it needs
that the welfare of its people may be
raised to higher plane than ever.
Monday evening meeting of the
council was held in the offices in the
Wright Estate block, and plans laid
for the survey of Alma, which is now
actively in progress. Tuesday even
ing, the various committees working
under the council, met and the work
that is TO be followed by the commit
tees was laid out for them.
This work will cause committees
to delve into the needs Of Alma as TO
recreation, park space, Fairgrounds
and supervised recreation, CONNER
cialized recreation such as is found
in the poolrooms and bowling alleys;
need of a community center, health
conditions including the care of the
sick; medical inspection in schools,
housing and sanitary conditions, ju-
venile delinquencf and its treatment,
educational work and vocational
training.
1t is expected that the work of the
committees will take from ten days
to two weeks, after which the data
compiled will be sent to the Red
Cross headquarters in Chicago,
where it will be analyzed, and formal
recommendation will then be made
as to the lines that should be fol-
lowed in this city in order that the
best results may be obtained.
Wednesday evening another meet
ing of the committee was held, at
which time reports were given as to
the work that had been done up TO
that time and special stress was laid
upon the necessity Of ali early com
pletion of the work
1t was decided that a better OBJ
servance Of the truancy laws was
needed, and that better care should
be taken of delinquents, especially
the juveniles, whose ways can far
more easily be corrected while they
are still young, than later in life. In
this respect the Alma Community
Council believes that much good can
be secured by proper cooperation.

FLOWER SHOW

Two objects demand the attention
of every public spirited loving
man and woman in the city today;
the kind of books the boys and girls
are reading and the care of the
summer gardens. If one has recently
visited the new public library, he
would be impressed with the dearth
of good books. A fund has been
created for the purpose of providing
such books, and everyone should add
to this Nnd. An opportunity will be
given at the Flower Show and Gar
den Party to be held Saturday after
noon from 3 to 5, on the lawn of Mr..
and Mrs. Francis Kings place on
Orchard ~. Everything to please

STARS ON FRIDAY
Final Home Game With State
Champs To BE Played Tomorrow.

The. Detroit All Stars will finish
their engagement in Alma with the
Republic Trucks with Fridays game
at Republic field, which starts at
$50.
This game will be the sixth Of the
series for the state championship,
each team having collected two
games of the four played up to to-
day. The Friday battle promises to
be bitterly fought, as it will make
it possible for the series TO again be
even Friday night, with each aggreg-
alton having three games to It's
credit, thus making a seventh and
final game necessary. In such a
case the seventh game would prob
ably be Sunday affair to be played
in Detroit.
II is expected that Republic field
will see another record in attendance
for tomorrow's game, and it is prob.
able that over 1000 people will pass
through the gate.

some carelessness on the.part of those

carelessness on the part Of. parents of

HISTORY MERELY A LESSON
Paints Pictures Only That They May
Be an Inspiration to Future
Generations.

History does not relate for the sake
of relating; it does not paint for the
sake of painting; it relates and paints
the past that it may be living lesson
of the future. 1t proposes to instruct
new generations by the experience of
those who have gone before them, by
exhibiting to them a faithful picture
of great and important events with
their causes and their effects. with
general designs and particular pas
SionS, with the faults and virtues that
are found cOmmingled in human
things. 1t teaches the excellence of
prudence, courage, and great thoughts
profoundly meditated, constantly pur-
sued, and executed with moderation
and force. 1t shows the vanity of
immoderate pretensions. the power of
wisdom and virtue, the impotence of
folly and crime. Thucydides. Polybius,
and Tacitus undertake anything rather
than procuring new emotions for an
idle curiosity or a worn threadbare
imagination. They doubtless desire
to interest and attract, but more to
instruct; they are the avowed masters
OF statesmen and the preceptors of
neutrality-suspicious. Cousin.

For a Headache.

sick headache particularly. Cut a
lemon in half and squeeze the juice
into a tumbler. Add few-a very
few grains of sugar. and fill the glass
nearly three-Quarters full of cold wat
er. Now stir in half an eggspoonful
of ordinary baking soda. This will fizz
up, of course, and the draught must
be swallowed during effervescence.
If one does fails TO relieve headache.
repeat ii three hours after. Taken
fasting. the first thing in the morning.
1t will do much to settle the stomach
after the sick headache. and probably
prevent its recurrence for some time to
come. This kitchen physic has pre-
vailed when phenacetin and other
nerve-quieters have signally failed to
do SO.

GROUND UNDER HEAVY TAXES
People In Bible Times Completely at

ors of Tribute.

People In the Bible times were taxed
heavily. They were on straight levy.
not based on incomes or excess profits.
Payment was compelled and no excuses
made, nor were there any exemptions
to married men or heads of families.
Although there were no army or navy
establishments and no airpane pro-
gram, the people paid their assess
ments in both gold and silver.
King Solomon compelled the Ca
nantes who were left in the cOun-
try to pay him tribute, The rebellion

taxes levied by Solomon. AFTER
ward growing into the revolt Of
the Ten Tribes. was the most pre-
tentiOus kick against the levy Of the
powers in Bible times. JerObOam was
at first compelled to take refuge In
Egypt, and it was on account of the
taxes and levies laid by Solomon that
the Israeltes sIid to Rehoboam. the
son of Solomon, upon the latter's
death:
'"Thy father made our Jokes griev-
GUS; now therefore make thou the
grievous service of thy father and
his heavy Jokes which he put upon
us lighter and we will serve thee"
