Grand Rapids, April 9 (SpeciaD-
The Bridge Street branch of the
Grand Rapids Savings Bank at the
corner Of Stocking avenue and Bridge
street, was robbed shortly after noon
yesterday by two men who contented
themselves by taking the money that
was lying on the counter, which
totaled $493.20.
The robbers used a green Essex
roadster, bearing the license number
No. 1850. At Burlingame, west Of
Grand Rapids, the machine was aban-
doned by the robbers.
Officers are hot on the trail Of the
robbers, and hopes are being held in
police circles that they will be ap-
pretended within short time
Later in the afternoon deputy
sheriffs of Kent county caught Allen
Neuman, aged is, and Clinton Bull
len, aged 20, near Byron, and later
secured a confession from the mer
that they robbed the bank. Most Of
the money was recovered.

CLEANUP WEEK
IN THIS CITY
Transfers Will Remove Win
ter's Accumulation of Rub
bish Next Week.

The week Of April II to 16 is
Clean Up week in Alma and all res
idents of the city are being request
ed to cooperate with the Civic I'M
provcment League in making it a
real clean up in Alma.
This can only be done by a united
effort on the part Of the people of
Alma. 1t means little work on any
PERSONS part, but if every person
does his little, it promises to re-
move from every lot in the city,
every accumulation of the winter
and brighten up the city greatly
The city has made arrangements
for teams to go over the entire city
during the week TO pick up refuse
and debris that has been accumu-
lating during the winter months. The
city will dispose Of the rubbish.
There is probably not residence
in the city where there is not some
rubbish that has piled up during the
winter months that should be re-
moved.
If each resident of the city will
pile this refuse at a handy place in
the alley the teamsters that will be
around next week will remove it. It
means but little work on the part of
any person, and it is the easiest and
cheapest way for any resident to get
rid Of this accumulation of debris.

PEONAGE CASE
IS At AN END
John Williams, Plantation Own
er, is Convicted by Jasper
County Jury.
FACES LIFE IMPRISONMENT
Recommendation BY Jury Automat-
ically Fixes This Penalty
For Crime.

Covington, Ga, April 9 (By U. P)
This morning, after deliberating
all during the night, the Jasper coun-
ty jury, considering the evidence
placed in its hands, returned a YER
dict Of guilty against John S. Will
liams, plantation owner, charged with
the murder Of eleven negroes.
Williams conviction on the muir
der charge is for the murder Of a
man named Henson.
In his charge to the jury Judge
Hutcheson charged the jury on three
verdicts, acquital, murder, which un-
der the Georgia law would bring the
death penalty, and murder with a
plea for mercy, which automatically
brings life Imprisonment.
The jury recommended the plea for
mercy, thus fixing the sentence
against Williams as life imprson-
ment.

INVITED AGAIN
Alma Boys Are Invited To Attend
Camp Roosevelt.

Muskegon, Mich, April 8 (Special)
Boys from Alma are again invited
to take the course in military train
ing to be given during July and
August at Camp Roosevelt, near
this city, under command of Captain
F. l.. Beals, u. S. A.
During the past two summers,
thousands of boys underwent train
ing at the encampment, and it is ex-
pected this number will be greatly
increased this year.
Camp Roosevelt is intended as a
living memorial to the principles of
military and physical fitness which
the name suggests, and is established
by the Chicago Board of Education
with the sanction and support of the
U. 5. War Department. In order to
stimulate interest in military and
physical preparedness, Camp Roose-
welt is all-AmerICsn, and recruits are
received from al parts Of the coun-
try. AT the Exec itive Headquarters
Room 403, $50 South Clark street,
Chicago, applications are steadily be-
ing made from practically every
state in the Union.
The camp is divided into three
sections, the r. o. T. C. for boys of
school age, the summer high school,
and the Scoutcraft Division for the
younger boys. For the boys in the
X. o. T. c. section there will be
training in drill formations, setting
up exercises, workmanship, ground
aviation, signaling. Boys who desire
to make up high school subjects, or
to advance in their school work will
been enrolled in the summer high
school, where all of the academic
subjects, including woodworking, au-
to mechanics, ground aviation, wire
less, will be taught. For the young
er lads in the Scoutcraft Division,
special course of instruction in Scout
craft and woodlore will be arranged.
The athletic program for all boys in
camp includes swimming, baseball,
gymnastics, basketball, hiking, etc.

SEEKS PREVENTION
Anti Tuberculosis Society Seeks TO
Prevent Disease.

Lansing, April (SpeciaD-"There
are still good many people in
Michigan, said DR.. William DeKleine,
president of the Michigan Anti
tuberculosis Association, "who be-
lievc that such an organization as
this association should give direct
financial aid to persons afflicted with
tuberculosis. A little operation in
arithmetic will Immediately dispel
this idea. There are today, conserv-
atively stated, $4,000 cases Of tuber-
culosis in Michigan. Suppose that
the state tuberculosis association
should undertake TO finance directly
these sufferers. Let US say that the
state association should appropriate
$500 for each case. That would mean
the enormous sum of 100000.
The mere statement Of the figures is
all that is needed.
"The annual income of the Mich
igan Anti-tuberculosis Association
gets only a very small percentage of
this.
"But che association was not or
ganized to extend direct financial aid
to tuberculosis sufferers. The func-
tion of the association is to spread
information throughout the state
about tuberculosis so as to help the
people Of the state to prevent the
disease The state society is for the
purpose of encouraging all move
ments in all parts of Michigan that
tend to lessen tuberculosis, such as
the building Of sanitoria, the erection
of open air schools, the formation of
Modern Health Crusade branches,
etc.
"In the fight against tuberculosis
the people Of the state must be
taught to help themselves. 1t is
only when all classes of citizens ev-
erywhere get into the fight that the
disease can be conquered. And to
the forces all over the state
against the disease is the function of
the Michigan Anti-tuberculosis Asso-
ciation."

The report meeting will be held in
the basement of the First Presby-
terian church Monday evening at

Alma college students will join the
canvass Monday. Every resident of
the city not previously solicited will
be given an opportunity to contribute.
The college students, who made such
a success in their own campaign, Sc
curing an average subscription of
SAC apiece will attempt to duplicate
their own contributions as a result of
their Monday canvass. The students,
il will be remembered, raised $S,l57.
If they are able to secure an equal
amount, the organization as a whole
will be within striking distance of its
goal.
College students will also assist in
tic canvass lildl Will DC Indue III
Bannister, Ashley and other near by
points during the coming week. Dur
ing the week arrangements will be
made for canvass in Ithaca and St.
Louis. The dates for this canvass are
wholly dependent upon the local ar
rangements made.
The building of the proposed me-
mortal auditorium and gymnasium is
a project to which the college is
definitely committed. Ground will be
broken for the structure, it is stated,
probably at commencement time.
During the interval the canvass of
the county will be continued until it
is certain that all those who are
friendly 10 the college and who de-
sire to help it in the work it is doing
have been given an opportunity to
contribute.
Division Commanders Cushing,
Winslow and Wagner believe that
even after the Monday clean up, con-
tributions will be secured in this city.
In number of instances contribu-
tions have been withheld by persons
who were confident that they would
be able to enroll themselves on the
list Of substantial contributors in the
course of a few weeks.

THE GOAL MUST
Be ACHIEVED
Every Possible Measure TO Be
Taken to Make Drive
a Success.

Alma is your city. 1t is a city
that has a splendid past. 1t is city
that SHOULD have a bright future.
Bright futures do not come by
chance. They are the result of plan
ming and of pluck; of working and
building. Cities that do not build for
the future fall behind little by little
until they come to dwell permanently
in the past.
The time to get ahead in any race
is to sprint when the other fellow has
slowed up. Alma now has an op-
portunity to SPRINT. Plans are be-
ing projected that will double the
present facilities of Alma College.
Doubling the present facilities of
Alma College is equivalent to estab-
fishing a new college.
Suppose some one were to make
this proposition to the people of this
city.
"If you will raise $1,000 we will
raise 100000 and we will invest
every dollar of it in a college that
will bring a faculty of 25 people and
far larger student body to Alma"
What would be the response :?
Would the $1,000 be secured? I'm
der such circumstances it would not
take even a week to secure the sum
desired. Every person in the city,
every business interest, would line
up in a solid phalanx in order to Sc
cure the NEW industry. For a col
lege is an industry. It's product is
trained men and women.
What is the practical difference be-
tween doubling the capacity of a 60
ing concern and establishing a NEW
one? The result is the same. The
obligation is the same.
The reputation of community is
a business asset to every interest in
it. It makes a great deal of differ
ence what sort of a reputation your
city acquires. 1t will not help a great
deal if people in this state, when
speaking of Alma, were to say:
ooh, yes, Alma. That little city
must be going backward. That's the
town that could not raise $4,000 for
the college there even after the stu
dents and faculty had contributed
more than $4,000"
The man who was looking for a
wide awake community in which to
launch ar enterprise would not be
likely to turn to a place that was un-
willing to invest one dollar in a local
enterprise for every dollar that out
siders invested.
There is a saying that a man is
never licked until he acknowledges
defeat. AS long as he keeps trying,

HARDING MESSAGE
IS TAKING FORM
Rough Draft Ready and Some
Recommendations are

Washington, ID. c., April 9 (By U.
P.)-The rough draft of President
Harding's first message to Congress
is nearly completed today, and while
the foreign problems to be discussed
are kept secret, recommendation on
domestic matters are known.
Among the important recommend
ations on domestic problems will in
clude foreign trade legislation which
will enable American business men
10 enter foreign ports and compete
to better advantage with the citizens
of the countries that are pursuing
an aggressive trade expansion pol
icy; soldiers relief; matter of taxa
tion, including the repeal of excess
profits tax, and possibly the repeal
of soda water and other consumers
taxes.
Recommendation regarding the
foreign policy will not be announced
at the present time and will probably

London, April 9 (By U. P)-The
approaching strike is the opening of
decisive warfare between capital
and labor, Ramey Mcdonald, labor
leader in parliament, declared in an
interview with the United Press to-
day. He added that if general
strike is not averted the British in
dustries will be paralyzed within a
week. There may be some "head
breaking" he intimated, but it will
not be the result Of deliberately
planned Bolshevism, he continued.
The general strike is not merely a
walkout by the miners, railway and
transport workers, but a show down
in living by the interests of capital
and labor, Mcdonald said.
