SHOW PRICE DROP
DURING THE YEAR
EICHENBERG'S HAVE DISPLAY
WINDOWS SHOWING TEND
ENCY OF PRICES.

Eichenberg & Company's grocery
at the corner of East Superior street
and Woodwork avenue, had win
dow display a week ago that was an
unusual one in many respects, and
which gave convincing argument as
TO the difference between the costs Of
groceries a year ago, and at the pres
ent time.
Two windows were used for the
display, one showing the groceries
that could be purchased one year ago
for $1,000, and the other window
showing the groceries that can be
purchased at the present time for the
same amount of money.
The window showing the goods
which could be purchased ope year
ago for S3I.00, contained a bushel of
potatoes, hundred pound sack of
sugar and one 80 pound sack of
Maderite flour.
The window showing what could be
purchased for $3l.00 at present day
prices showed one bushcl of potatoes,
- Iipbiid 0eiNh VI SUGAR, one
80 pound sack Of Maderite flour, six
large packages Of cornflakes, six
packages of puffed wheat, six pack
ages of Quaker oats, six small pack
ages of Post Toasties, seven pack
ages of Argo starch, six cans Of X.
G. baking powder, six packages Of
Quaker Spaghetti, six packages Of
Quaker Macaroni, nine cans Of Chef
Baked Beans, IL cans of Logan corn,
seven cans of tomatoes, eleven cans
Of Hunter Salmon, six packages of
Old Tavern mustard, six bottles Of
Old Tavern catsup, II boxes Of
matches, three packages Of Argo
corn starch, twenty bars Of Fels
Naptha soap, twelve large cans of
Pet milk, six 5-pound sacks of Famo
flour, and six cans Of peas.
Judging from the difference be-
tween The two displays the price of
groceries must have taken somewhat
If a drop during the past year.
The goods i'm the one window which
cost $500 year ago, the potatoes,
sugar and flour, could be purchased
aow at $ll.20, unless quotations on
goods have changed somewhat in the
asst day or two.

Kick in Scores
;s,ssss For Ypsi Normal

Someone suggested that TO head a
column, What Alma Knows About
Baseball and to leave the column
blank would be about right, and per-
haps this ,night be true, but it hap
pens that this once we are to discuss
Alma's lack Of baseball and this must
necessarily take space with. some
thiiig apirnted' in about like this
Michigan State Normals "a, Alma
College 4. And that doesn't cover
everything about what Alma doesn't
know about the national pastime.
1t would hardly be possible to do
justice to the subject. But then our
best efforts will be used.
To start with, it is desired to show
that Ypsi scored II unearned runs in
the first inning, in Saturdays track
meet Hole doubled. Quinn's bunt
to French to put him on third, Quinn
beating the ball to first. Helenburg
was safe and Hole scored on Marks
error. Hole could easily have been
held at third, had the ball been field
ed. Westcott flied out to K. Will
liams. Carlson walked and the sacks
were full. Erickson was safe on
Williams error, on what should have
been the third out. From then on
until ten more runs were chased over
the plate, French was taken for four
hits. lie hit one man. A bushel of
mlsplays were made. That is Just a
sample of what the game was. No
need of going into detail.
Alma made fifteen errors, one
more in number than the hits that
the visitors took from the delivery
OF three hurlers, French, Swanson
and Rathsburg. Seven of the four
teen hits came in three different in
nings after the side had been retir
ed. AS near as the official scorer
has yet been able to determine Yp-
silanti earned only three of the "a
runs that were secured, and Alma
two Of her 4. There was not a Yp-
sllanti player during the game who
dld not make at least two runs. All
excepting three of them made three
runs. There were only two features
IN the entire game, the pitching of
y Hara of Ypsi, and the home run
mat Captain French of Alma poled.
French, Beattie and Rathsburg are
the only men who were not charged
with errors. r. Williams led the list
OF error-makers with six. Marks
was a close second with five mis-
plays. The others had one each.

WHAT HAPPENS
TO YOUR DOLLAR
JUST HOW EACH DOLLAR Is
DIVIDED FOR CITY AFFAIRS
is SHOWN.

How many residents Of Alma ever
pause to consider what happens to
their tax dollar, paid into the city
treasury for city taxes, into how
many different funds it goes, and
just what portion of that dollar is
used for salaries, for fire protection,
for the water fund, police protection,
etc.
A recent compilation of the
amounts i'm the various funds, as
provided by the budget furnishes
some Illuminating figures on what
happens to each dollar paid into the
city treasury as taxes.
The special street Improvement
fund, from which is paid the city's
portion of the cost of all Of the new
pavements that are to be constructed
during the year, calls for 1875 cents
out of your tax dollar.
The bond and interest and sinking
fund, to pay off bonds and interest
due, and to build a sinking fund with
which to pay all long term bonds
when they come due calls for 1917
cents from each tax dollar.
The general administration Of the
city, providing salaries for the may
or, manager, commissioners, clerk,
treasurer, city physician, city attor-
ney, and provides for the library,
health department, expense, com
munications, publishing Of notices,
printing, advertising, insurance and
all office supplies and expense takes
l2.l cents from the tax dollar.
The fire fund, an important matter
with the people Of the city, takes
only 2.94 cents from each dollar, and
provides a highly efficient fire de
partment
The cemetery fund takes sc of n
cent from the tax dollar.
The police department consumes
only 5.42 cents from the tax dollar.
The contingent fund, which has va
ried uses, and upon which unlocked
for demands are made, takes 7.65
cents per dollar
The general street fund needs al
cents from each dollar.
Out of each dollar 4.5 cents goes to
the general sewer fund.
The bridge fund needs PA cents
from each dollar Of city taxes.
The water fund for city purposes

is provided for with 81 cents from
The care and operation of the pub
lie buildings Of the City calls for 22s
cents from each dollar.
Like the cemetery fund, the park
fund is meek in. its demands. Only
1.6 cents from each tax dollar is
used for the park fund.
Street lighting, which is provided
for out of the light fund calls for sd
cents from the tax dollar.

item in your tax dollar II calls for

Cdntdta Vas
Well Rendered

The cantata, "Shut-up Posy," which
was given in the high school gymna-
SUM Friday afternoon, May Is, at
2 o'clock and also at $3.50, by the
pupils of the Washington school as
sisted by group of little ones from
the Lincoln school was very beauti-
fully rendered and much enjoyed.
The cantata was directed by Joan
French, supervisor Of music, and
Avis Mouser, physical training di-
rector, and reflects great credit upon
both teachers.
The stage erected in one end of
the gymnasium was beautifully deco
rated with spring flowers and shrub
berry and upon one side Spring was
lying, upon flower trimmed couch,
in deep sleep. Mother Earth ap-
pears and bids her awake but with
out success so she calls upon the
wood nymphs to aid her. They APP
pear dressed in brown and green and
dance a mystic dance to the music
of ,'Shine Little Glow Worm" This
dance is followed by ~ chorus to
Spring who still sleeps.
Next the sunbeams are called in
and the moon beams soon follow in
appropriate costumes with song and
dance. The ugly fay and the rose
bud, Prince Charming, the fairies
with their queen, the daisies and but
tercups, the rabbit with his Easter
eggs, old Jack-in the pulpit, modest
violet, the tulips Of Holland, daffodils
and hyacinths and forgetmenots all
appear TO make their appeal to spring
but it is finally the unopened bud,
led in blindfolded, who awakens
Spring and she arises from her couch
to open the bud and cause it to bloom.
The costumes were very beautiful
ly designed and added much to the
general effect. The choruses and
solos were well rendered and the
whole cantata was very beautiful.
Especially effective was the dance
of the wood nymphs and the fairies.
As the cantata progressed, group af-
ter group Of the appropriately cos
TUNED children took their places upon
the stage until at the close the entire
company sang the closing choruses
Such a program represents a large
amount of work and training and
both the directors and those who took
the different parts are to be congrat-
ulated upon the results obtained.
