Offers Cared For.

A pair Of fully developed offers have
been discovered in a slough along the
BrandyWine, near West Chester, Pa,
and have been watched with interest
by many persons.
They are the only ones reported in
Chester for probably 40 years, and
are very carefully protected by the
owner of the property where they
have made a den In a bank beside the
still water.
The animals are said to be about
four feet in length and very active.
It is believed a number of young may
be produced In the den beneath the
bank and prove the founding of col
ony which will arouse much future

vi All the amusements that we. in

OF mans primitive instincts. The

made dancing necessary as a gym

approved of it. mo one dances sober

Train robbery, a pastime which was
f0r some years very popular In the
West, was inaugurated 4S years ago
at Verde, Nevada, when the Overland
express was held up and despoiled Of
about $4,000. This robbery marked
a new departure in the field of crime,
for previously only stage coaches and
travellers had fallen prey to holdup
meE. When western outlaws are dis
cussed, the name of Jesse James is
usually the first brought up. but he
was not the pioneer train robber.

TO Stage Games

Alma is TO see baseball this sum-
mer, according TO announcement
made the first Of the week, the Elm
hall diamond aggregation having
leased Republic baseball field for the
summer, with a view Of staging its
games in Alma, instead of in the
western Cratiot village.
The first Of the games to be played
in Alma viii be staged here this COM
ing Sunday, Elm Hall having booked
the strong Carson City nine for q
game on Republic field
The Elm Hall team is a strong one
that is making a name for itself in
its class, and it bids fair to be a real
entertainer for the local fans this
summer. Naturally the team is not in
class with the old Republic team by
any means. 1t is good average ag-
gregaton for its class, however, and
should give Alma some good diamond
exhibitions during the balance of the
summer.

CAMPBELL IS
new DIRECTOR
Of ATHLETICS
NEW BOARD, CONSISTING OF
TRUSTEES, FACULTY AND
STUDENTS Is FORMED.
NeuC Mentor Is
Experienced Nan

President II. NJ Crooks of Alma
College has announced the resigna-
ton Of Edwin steele, athletic director
Of the college during the past year,
and the fact that Roy W. Campbell,
for two years coach Of the athletic
teams of Knox college, Illinois, and
for three years coach Of the uniyers-
ity OF Detroit, has been secured as
the new athletic director Of the Pres
byterian institution.
The securing Of Campbell as the
athletic director here, and the an
nouncement of the formation Of new
athletic board gives every evidence OF
the intent Of Alma college to regain
the, standing that it has held in the
past in. Michigan college athletic cir
cles. Boz years Alma was among the
leading schools Of Michigan in az
athletic way, but since the war has
had little success in developing win
ming teams, due to a great oXtent to
the exceptionally heavy losses in vet
Gran material at the time of the war,
when almost every letter man in the
college went into the service.
Campbell is regarded as one Of the
best all around coaches in this sec
ton of the country and his coming tc
Alma is forcasting some successful
teams for the future. During Che
time that he was engaged in coaching
he has had six years. Of experience
He spent a year at Owosso high
school, and made g wonderful record
there, and then went to the Univers-
ity Of Detroit, whore he remained for
a year. From Detroit he went to
Knox collegeafor two years, and then
returned to the University of Detroit
as coach again, for another period OF
two years.
Another thing that is promising for
the athlete future Of the college Is
tho establishment Of a new athieti,
board on which viii be representa-
the board Of trustees Of the college
the faculty, the student body and ths
Alumni. The board is expected t
work similar to those OF other insti
tptions which are making good name.

have strong effect in upbuilding
