There are two distinct phases OF
city life. There is one that has Ia
do with all the material or physical
elements. such as streets. parks,
buildings, railways, etc. There lis
also the other great element of
thought. passion and willing. In
studying city we must ever keep
these two different, but closely re-
lated elements Of life in our mind.
There are some people who think
of a city only in terms of it's ply
siral well being. Their whole at
tention is devoted simply to fac
tories, banks, real estate and such
things. A city to them is only a
place in which to do business and
make profit Business" according
to this view point, is the one cNter-
ion by which to measure the value
of city life.
There are other people who tend
TO think Of city almost exclusively
in terms of thought and emotion.
To them a city is simply home for

place Of Colonel Gansser. as the
speaker at Tuesday evenings meet.
ing, gave an address that was vel
appreciated by the good sized audi
ence that attended the meeting in
spite Of the damp weather
In his address Mr.. Lusk pointed
out that cooperation, devotion to the
community, community patriotism,
and unselfishness were necessary in
the making Of a successful chamber
Of commerce. In showing what CO.
operation and patriotism, properly
applied would do, he called attention
20 the performance Of the American
people during the war, when united
effort was bended for Red Cross
work, for Liberty Loans, etc.
He stated that the plan of the
Alma Chamber Of Commerce in at
tracing the ladies as members was
something new. and that it would
bring in a big power for community
betterment.
Agricultural conditions in the sur
rounding territory, methods Of cor
recting such conditions, and like mat
ters of Importance to Alma were
gone into TO some little extent dur
lng the address, giving slight ink
ling TO the valuable work that a
chamber Of commerce could do here.

The Chamber Of Commerce is a
civic agency through which the So
cial Intelligence and conscience of the
community may function in many ef-
fective ways.
Through it our educational insti-
tutions should receive fostering care.
Our local churches, specially inter
ested in all matters affecting the So
cial and moral well-being OF the in
dividual, the family and the commun-
ity at large, may here find means of
putting into effect wise regulative
measures. OF course our business
and farming interests, on which de-
pends so largel~ the general we'll
being Of the community, needs such
facilities Of trade and commerce
which only an efficient Chamber of
Commerce can promote. The entire
community, with all its multiplied in
terests, may be greatly benefited by
the cooperation of our citizens
through this agency

Clergynen Endorse Alma's
New Chamber of Commerce
Pastors the Various Alma Churches See Opportunities
For Wonderful Community Betternent Through
An Active Organization of This Nature

The clergymen of the city of Alma
have all endorsed the work of pro-
noting a good Chamber Of Commerce
in this city as they believe that such
an organization is not only for the
purpose of securing new industries
for community, but that it must,
to be a successful Chamber of Com
merce, such as it is hoped 70 make
the one in Alma, an organization that
viii function in many effective ways
in aiding in the promotion Of civic
betterment.
Civic betterment Of course includes
the securing of new industries, which
VIII make community bigger than
ever. but it means more than that
much more. II means the beautify-
ing of community to such an extent
that 1t will attract as does a magnet.
II means the establishing of play
grounds and recreation spots for the
residents of the community. II
means the uniting Of the community
intelligence for better moral and So
cial conditions in every way. II
means aiding in the bringing about
Of good regulative measures in the
community. 1t means aiding in
bringing capital and labor into closer
cooperation in the community. Ii
means that efforts should be bended
towards better traffic conditions. In
fact it means the lending of effort
and interest in every measure that is
a community proposition. as a Cham
Der Of Commerce is nothing, if not
an organization for the betterment
Of the community in every respect.
With these reasons in mind the /
clergymen of the city have heartily /
the movement that is on
foot. They speak not only for them
selves, but also for those whom they
represent
Following are number Of en-
torsements by various clergymen Of
the city:

THE BROTHERHOOD OF BETTER
THINGS

He dreamed of a better city. he
longed for fairer fame.
For the home Of his daily labors, and
} he talked of a brighter name
/ For the scenes of his children's play
/ time and the place of his children's
/ birth.
And he talked as a man who loved
his town and was proud of her
splendid worth.
He told her needs as he saw them.
to him were her failings known.
And he wanted to build for her
greatness-but he couldn't do it
alone.
He was one of the many thousands
who dreamed of the better day
With visions of greater splendors
when they should have passed
away.
And each in his dream. unselfish.
could picture a distinct goal
When his city should rise in beauty
and throb as a living soul,
But the dreams would have come
and vanished, and the visions from
earth have flown
Had each of the dreamers tried to
work for his city's fame-alone.
You may think great thoughts for
the future, you may fashion and
build and plan,
But you never shall see your dreams
made real, save your work With
your felIovman.
And never a greater city shall spring
into being here
Save that the many have labored to-
gethcr ITS fame 70 rear.
Out Of the hearts Of our fellows has
all Of our greatness grown.
Together they stood for this purpose
for no one could DO it alone.
Stand off By yourself with your
dreaming and all OF your dreams
are vain.
No splendor Of soul or structure can
man by himself attain;
Tis willed we shall dwell as broth
ers, as brother then we must toll:
We must share in common pur-
pose, as We share in a common soil.
And each who would see accom-
plished the dreams he is proud to
own,
Must strive for the goal with his fell
Iows-for he cannot reach it alone.

hall daily, ready to receive the taxes
from Alma property owners. The
total tax this year is S17.0O per

The taxes must be paid before

The school tax is by far the largest
single item in the fail taxes. The
amount for school purposes is
Sll.43 per thousand of valuation.
This is big increase over last year.
when the tax was S728. This is
made necessary by the growth of the
schools, which has called for new
teachers, and other added expenses.

costs OF al materials.
The state tax amounts to $500 and
the county tax to S237.

Frederick OMara Of Detroit, Mchigans's Best
Orator, WIN Give Address at Sunday
Evenings Big Civic Rally

Right in our own state you can see
cities that are built on these separ-
ate foundations. There are cities that
are simply industrial centers with
out any higher educational or cul-
tural Influences. They are crude.
selfish cities when thoroughly stud
led. There are other cities, smaller
in size, that are nothing but educa-
tional and cultural centers. Their
life is interesting and refined, but
1t lacks the dynamics Of industry
and commerce. This kind of city
is lopsided and limited just as the
purely industrial city is.
But whatever type of city may
be studied we shall always find
present conflict Of aims and ideals.
It becomes the duty Of citizens 70
study these various groups of people
who belong to them The Board Of
Commerce is representive Of the IN
dustrial and commercial class. II
can be Of influence as representing
these interests by Interpreting the
aims of the commercial and indus
trial class TO the rest Of the city with
view of bringing about "a greater
spirit Of cooperation No doubt this
is the program Of expansion in CON
nection with the Alma Chamber Of
Commerce. If the Alma Chamber
Of Commerce can bring about such
cooperation along with the indus
trial, educational, cultural and relig-
ious forces Of the city it can be a
power for the harmonization of our
physical and spiritual life and can
contribute to the enlargement Of the
Civic Vision.
