MUCH PAVING
WORK IN ALMA
State Expected to Let Contract
For Trunk Line Paving
Very Soon.
CITY APPROVES THE PLANS
Many Other Streets Will See Great
Amount Of This Work Done
This Summer.

That there will be a great amount
of paving done in Alma this year is
becoming increasing certain, espe-
cially in view of the fact that it is
regarded as a certainty that the paw
ing on state trunk lines Ia and 46
through this city will be done in
the very near future by the state
highway department, making a large
addition to the paving which the city
itself expects to do this summer.
AT its meeting last night the city
commission voted unanimously to ap-
prove a resolution, which approves
the plans Of the state highway de-
partment for the paving on the
trunk lines in Alma 1t is expected
that notice Of the approval of the
state plans will go to the state de-
partment today.
within the next three or four weeks
the state highway department will
ask for bids for the paving to be
done in Alma on these two trunk
lines, and it is being expected in Of
ficial circles in the city that the ac-
tual work on the state trunk line
roads here in preparation for the
paving will be started within the
next two months.
A resolution was also passed de-
claring the intention to pave an ex-
ira ten foot on the width of the
streets on which the state will pave,
making the pavement on these
streets 80 feet in width. The city
will do this extra work, and five feet
of each of the additional ten foot
width will be on each side Of the 20
foot span of pavement to be con-
structed by the highway department.
The taxpayers will be called upon to
pay for only the five foot width on
each side of the street.
In addition to this paving the city
has about two miles of other paving
to do this year. This work will be
on Woodwork avenue, Gratiot ave-
nue., Pine avenue, Prospect avenue
and probably some other small
stretches of pavement, called for in
other petitions that have been pre-
sented to the commission. The pave
ment that is needed most badly by
the city will probably be the pave
ment that will be started first.

: The Alma College Glee Club re-
turned yesterday from the longest
trip that an Alma organization of
this kind has ever taken, taking a
sixteen day jaunt through northern
Michigan, more than week of
which was spent above the straits.
During practically the entire time
the glee club entertained before ca
pacity houses, and it is reported that
in every appearance in the dozen diff
ferent cities that were visited, the
club was received very enthusiastic
ally by the music lovers Of those
communities, which speaks better
than can words for the ability Of the
1921 organization that is. represent
ing the Maroon and Cream.
The trip started at Clare, the club
then going TO Cadillac, Harbor
Springs and then across the straits
into the northern peninsula. On the
return from northern Michigan the
club stopped at Cheboygan, return
ing to Alma from that city

CYCLONE HITS
CLARENDON
Texas Town Badly Damaged by
Cyclone Which Hit City
at Night.

Clarendon, Texas, April (By U.
P)-Damage that is placed far in
excess of quarter of a million dol
lars was done last night when a cy-
clone struck the main street of this
city.
Thousands of dollars worth of
plate glass was destroyed by the
force of the storm as it hit the main
street of the city. Awnings and
signs were wrenched out of place,
and piles Of debris was left on the
streets in the wake of the storm.
A fire broke out in the business
district Immediately following the
storm, which for time threatened
the entire business section. 1t was
finally subdued, but not until three
buildings had been wiped out.

1t is reported that during the en-
tire time that the club was on the
road that it failed to make the guar
antee just twice, and most of the
time its share of the funds from the
door ran well over the guarantee, so
on the whole the trip was a good fl
nancial success for the Glee Club
More than that, it has stimulated an
interest in Alma College in a section
of the state that has never before
been visited by an Alma organization
Of any kind.

Club. The members are as follows:

EASTERN TIME
Clocks Are To BE Turned One
Hour Ahead at Midnight
Saturday.
VOTE WAS A UNANIMOUS ONE
Entire Membership of Commission
Favors Starting Work a Lit
tie Earlier.

At midnight Saturday night, April
., the city of Alma will turn its
clocks ahead one hour, TO eastern
standard time, which has been adopt
ed for the summer months, it being
believed that this will work for the
greatest benefit of the greatest num-
Der Of citizens of the community.
Action to this end was taken Tues
day evening by the city commission
at its regular meeting.
The resolution that was offered a
week ago and tabled for a week, was
taken from the table at the meeting
of the city commission last evening
and after the date Of changing the
clocks one hour had been changed
from last Saturday night at midnight
to this week Saturday at midnight,
the resolution for the adoption of
eastern standard time in Alma for
the summer was offered by Commits
sioner Chick. 1t was supported by
Commissioner Glass.
A short discussion of the PROPOSE
tion followed and it was deemed adj
visabe in these discussions to pass
the measure and when the vote was
taken it was unanimously in favor of
the daylight saving( as predicted last
week in The Record.

SENTIMENT IS
CRYSTAL|z|NG
Reports of Last Twenty-FOur
Hours Show Workers
Are Busy.
GOOD RESULTS ARE COMING
Noon Day Luncheon Today Was an
Inspiring One for the Cam
paigners.

That Sc ntiment is rapidly crystal
izing in favor Of the Alma College
endowment campaign is the belief of
the workers today, as the report on
the campaign at noon indicated that
considerable progress was being
made by the workers who arc deter
mined to put the campaign over the
top.
Today's report is practically $1,000
above that given yesterday, and it is
believed that tomorrow will see a
continuation of the good results OF
the past twenty-four hours, and pos
sibly see even today's mark shatter-
ed Two times the number subscrip-
tions were reported today as were re-
ported yesterday. The average Of
the subscriptions during the past u
hours, which were reported at noon
today, was $1,000.
Division C continues in the from
of the three divisions in the drive
with Captain Gelston's team leading
not only his division but all other
teams. His team has total Of
1850. Division A has a total Of
1862, and Division b total Of
$3.50.
Some splendid short talks were
given at the noon day luncheon, one
by William W. Cushing, commander
Of Division A, who pledged the
amount that his cigars would cost
him during the next two years, to-
tai on his own figures Of $3.50.
President Crooks re-affirmed his
talk of yesterday saying that the me
mortal gymnasium would be built if
Alma raised its quota, regardless Of
the outcome of the campaign in the
balance Of the county.
Rev. Gelston stirred up plenty o.
enthusiasm with his short address in
which he pointed out that the teams
were not going fast enough, that
Alma was not thoroughly realizing
that this was her day Of opportun-
ity. Alma, he said, was being asked
to raise only about one-tenth Of the
total endowment sought, which would
all be used here, bringing more stu
dents to Alma College, perhaps 500,
possibly in time 900.
If Alma determines to put over
the campaign itlwill go over he sale
because if Alma wills, "Alma will
not fail"

L. S. IN CONFERENCE
United States To BE Asked In, is
Paris Report.

Paris, April 6 (By U. P.)-The
United States will be asked into the
allied conference to "show her hand"
in the game of settling the war, it
was predicted in official circles today.
There was hint of impatience over
Americas lack of interest and her al
legged interference in the solution that
has been attempted by the allies.
In such a conference she would be
asked to indicate which settlements
are approved by the United States
and which are disapproved, which one
she believes the United States should
decide and to help devise methods for
the settlement Of the others.

BEAUTIFUL CRoCUs BORDER

Have you seen the glorious bloom
border at the Francis King place?
If not, you have missed a sight
which will tighten your heart and
satisfy your soul. Walk up State
street and feast upon the $4,000 cro-
Gus blossoms, in white and all the
shades of blue and yellow, making
a veritable carpet of color. The GRO
Gus has a good many strong points,
being a hardy bulb, easy to set, and
willing and even anxious to blossom
early and crafty our longing for
out-ofAdoors bloom. This spring
these brave little things were lifting
up their bright faces to the sun long
before the cold rains ceased and
they withstood the last hard blizzard
and coating of ice. Long may this

charms to Alma. This one was plant
ed by the unselfsn hands of Alma's
flower devotee, Mrs. Francis King.

CAMPAIGN NOTES
ARE INTERESTING
Rev. Duffey Gives Good Advice
TO Workers at Noon

II some genius will evolve a plan
whereby it is possible to help Alma

is forthcoming the city Of Alma mus

concerned.
There seems to be no disagreement
concerning the worth of the work
the college is doing. 1t is pretty
generally agreed that there should b.
a gymnasium upon the college cam
pus and that this gymnasium should
be so constructed that it can be use
as an auditorium.

workers determine whether or not
they will join the strike Their de-
csion is bein gexpected hourly, and
the probabilities are that they will
also join in the strike movement. In
this case it is expected that they will
join with the transport workers in
deciding methods to be taken in aid
ing the coal miners. The transport
workers have asked for conferences
with two other groups to decide on a
united action of the triple alliance" j"
1t is believed by the transport
workers that victory for the miners
will be the means of saving their
own wage scale a little later on. SO
serious has become the situation that
large bodies of troops have been
moved into parks and are prepared
to mount guard over food supplies.
Others left railway stations sup
posedly enroute to danger points in
the mine districts and in the indus
trial centers.
Train service has been curtailed 20
per cent starting with today.
That there is a slight hint for a
speedy settlement of the wage dis
pute is seized upon from the fact
that Arthur Henderson, the English
labor leader, conferred last night
with the premiers.
London, April 6, (By U. P)-Qhe
British coal miners this afternoon
agreed to the governments PROPOSE
tion that they again meet with the
mine workers in an effort to avert
an industrial war. A proposal for
them to negotiate directly with the
colliers was made by Premier Lloyd
George in a letter to the miners and
owners, in which he stated that the
government rendered its good offices
in an endeavor to bring about a
settlement Of the strike.
