PAINT COMPANY
Alma Auto Paint Company is Orga-
nized in This City.

The Alma Auto Paint Company
has been organized in this city, and
two year lease has been secured OH
the former Pollasky hide house, near
the depot, which will be used by the
company for the present time at
least.
1t was stated Tuesday by George
p. Harmon, who with Leon Irish, is
interested in the venture, that the
new business will be ready to start
on Monday, March l, at which time
Mr.. Harmon expects that the paint
sprays, etc, which Will be used will
have arrived and be installed in the
building, which the men are fitting
up with view of giving this city a
first class automobile and truck
paint shop.
Leon Irish, who will have charge
of the work shop of the company has
had twenty years of experience in
the paint business, much of this time
being spent in the paint shops of
automobile and truck concerns in the
state. He is highly rated as a cap
able man for this work. Mr.. Harm
on has had varied experience, but
has devoted considerable time to the
automobile and truck business and it
is believed by the friends Of the two
men that their knowledge of the bust
ness in which they are embarking,
will make it highly successful
venture.

COMING HERE
Almost Certain That Mint League
Champs Will Train in Alma.

1t is almost a certainty now that
the Saginaw Aces, champions of the
Michigan Ontario League last year
will do their spring training in this
city, which President Clements Of the
Saginaw organization believes will be
almost an ideal spot, if weather con-
ditions are what they should be.
Red" Mckee, former Detroit Tiger
backstop, is TO manage the Aces this
year, and if the Mint champs come
here for their spring training, Nc
Kee will being about thirty hopefuls
here with him, who will strive TO
make the 1920 Saginaw league team.
One of the big reasons for Alma
seeming so attractive TO the league
organization as training camp is the
fact that Alma has two strong mines
against which the Saginawans may
work out in their practices, these be-
ing the Republics and the Alma Col
lege aggregation. Both are expected
to be exceptionally strong, and should
prove to be of enough strength TO
make things interesting for the
leaguers.
If the Aces come TO Alma TO train,
it will be the first time that league
team has made Alma the spring
training camp since the days of the
old South Michigan league, when Bay
City came here with Hi Cole, who
later proved such sensation with
the Cubs.

NATIONAL NEWSPAPER
Cleaners Magazine Will Now Be
come National Newspaper.

Cleaners have arranged for the
printing of a national newspaper,
with headquarters in Detroit and of
flee of publication at Ann Arbor,
Mich, according TO announcement of
Grant Slocom Of Detroit, head of the
Cleaners. of whom there are 10000
in Michigan alone.
For twenty-five year the Cleaner
official publication has been printed
in magazine form, but, to increase its
service, il has been enlarged into a
full-fedged newspaper. The paper
known as The Cleaner Forum. will be
sent TO the sixteen states in which
the Cleaners operate, and will expand
it's circulation materially during the
national membership campaign which
has just begun among the farmers in
the Middle West.
The marketing news promises 10 be
of special interest due TO the taking
over Of the Armour & Company ele-
vator interests in Michigan, and the
great expansion Of the Cleaner chain
Of elevators throughout the Middle
West. Ohio has already begun or
ganization along the Cleaner lines
and Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and sever
al other states are being lined up by
Cleaner workers.

SCHNAPP AND DOTY
ARRESTED TUESDAY
Goods Taken From Car and Sold
Is Alleged in Charge
Against Men.

Ben Schnapp and Albert Doty, the
latter one of Alma's well known
characters during the past few years
were arrested Tuesday evening by
local officers, and We're charged with
grand larceny IL is possible, how
ever, that the men will be turned
over TO the government TO be dealt
with, this depending upon the atti-
tude of the railroad administration.
1t is alleged that Doty broke into
freight car here, and took from
the case a carton, containing either
ten or twelve pairs of shoes, which
for the greater part were later sold
by SchnaPp, it is said. II is stated
that Schnapp believes that he sold
eight pair, and it is understood that
Doty admits to burning up four pair.
If this is true the case contained
twelve pairs of shoes. Doty, how
ever, is said TO claim that there were
only ten pairs Of shoes in the carton.
Oscar Nbber has yet been unable
to locate the destination Of the shoes,
but it is believed that the inform
alton will be secured within a day or
two, from the railroad officials TO
whom the matter has been taken.
1t is more than possible that gov
ernment officials may step in and
take the two men for stealing from
the freight car, as the railroads are
still under government control. If
the government does not step into
the matter, the two men will face
charges of grand larceny, which have
already been preferred against them.

Passed Away Following In
fiuenza and Pneumonia.

ness men died last week Friday at

of his death.
Mr. Aldrich came 10 Alma about
three years ago, going into the bak-
cry business with A. G. Moore under
the firm name of the Superior Baking
Co. During the time that he has been
in this city, modern bakery has
been constructed, and more recently
large additions were added to the
plant in order that it might have the
output that the rapidly growing bus
mess demanded. Nh. Aldrich came TO
Alma from Birmingham where he
had been in business.
Mr.. Aldrich was an active member
Of the Masonic lodge, and at the time
of his death was member of the
Blue Lodge, No. 244, Chapter No. 1913
and Of the Ithaca Commandery No.
40.

CITY TO SEEK
A NEW DEPOT
Present Structure Far Too
Small is Claim of Officials
of the City.
SANITARY CONDITIONS BAo
Mayor and City Commission Seeking
Data To Place Before
Railroad.

The proposition for a new depot
for this city, which has been slumber-
ing peacefully since the railroads
were taken over by the government,
at the outbreak of the war, is arous-
ing from its sleep and within the
next week or two the Pere Marquette
railroad officials will be asked TO give
this city a new depot, which will be
in keeping with the community, and
the needs of the hundreds Of patrons
of the railroads which are serving
Alma.
The fact that the railroads go back
to private ownership, and the Pere
Marquette probably is in the best f.
nancial shape in its history one of
the big reasons for early action in re
gard to pressing home the needs of
Alma, with the officials of the COM
pany.
That the present Onion depot" is
inadequate, falling far short of the
size that is needed so patrons may
find comfort, when awaiting trains
is a fact that is so plain that il does
not need to be elaborated upon. Wis
its to the depot at almost any period
of the day, or on any day, when
trains are about due to arrive, will
convince the most skeptical of this
fact. One Sunday night recently two
city officials waiting for late train
counted l05 people waiting for a
train, and found only thirty-six seats
in the depot. Such facts as that can
not be disputed.
Neither can it be disputed that the
depot is highly unsanitary place.
and that health laws are disregarded,
so far as the toilets are concerned.
at least. This certainly should be an
argument for new depot.
The growth of Alma, its great
amount of freight business for the
size of the community and other good
reasons can easily be advanced as
reasons why Alma should be given Il
new modern depot by the railroads.
About two years ago committee
from the city council and the board
Of trade went to Detroit and inter
viewed high officials regarding a new
depot for Alma, and at that time il
was stated that it would not be pos
sible for such a thing with the rail
roads under government control. The
officials of the railroad were some
what surprised at the amount of bus
mess that was being done at Alma,
and the committee was given assur-
ance that when the railroads came
out from under government control.
that Alma would not be forgotten.
The city officials believe that the
proper time to go after new struc-
ture has arrived, and data is now be-
ing compiled and within the course OF
the next two weeks, it is expected
that Mayor Murphy and VIM. +. Rey-
nolds, and the entire city commission
will go to Detroit to interview the
officials of the rtilroad in regard to
securing a modern depot for Alma.
that will be sufficient to meet the de-
mands that may be made upon it dur
ing the next few years by the travel
ing public.

ly a few more than the necessary

is the securing Of industries, or some
thing else of Importance.
