kirker.
Campbell started what is believed
to be the tentative first team, and it
went after the Independents in start
ling fashion. The passing Of the five
for so early in the season was little
short of wonderful, and usually ended
with either kirker or Carty taking
pot-shot at the basket, and both had
their batting eyes as they located
the spot on numerous occasions as the
score indicated.
At the end OF the half Alma was
leading the Independents by score
Of % to 10, and soon after the second
half had been inaugurated the count
had been run up TO 30 points for the
Maroon and Cream, at which time
Coach Campbell started rushing 9th

able rapidity until an even dozen
Almaites had n chance to show their
wares under fire.
When the fray started Carty and

ABLE FOR DRINKING PUR-
POSES Is THE WORD.
Mains Are Clean
Says Reynolds

Water from Alma'S new source of
supply, deep wells, is now ready for
drinking purposes and the people Of
The community may now go 10 their
taps in their homes and help them
selves, the state board of health hav-
ing informed Manager Reynolds that
the water has been authorized for
drinking purposes by the state board
This brings about the final realiza-
tion Of the hope OF the city officials
covering period Of years to give the
people of Alma a pure we'll water
supply in their homes.
1t will come as welcome news to
the people Of the city, many of whom
wearying of the wait over 4 period
of some years during which time pure
well water was being expected every
few months, had practically given up
hope Of ever securing suitable sup
ply Of pure water for the homes Of
the city from deep wells.
The new well which was just re-
Gently put down by the city officials
has not yet been connected up with
the other wells. 1t is expected that
still further work will he put forth
on this well with the expectation OF
securing greater flow of water be-
fore il is connected up with the new
system.
Fears of some people that the water
mains will not be clean can be set at
rest according to Manager Reynolds,
who calls attention to the fact that
the chlorination Of the water has re-
moved all possible germs. The mains
themselves are free from dirt, he
says, calling attention to the fact that
when water is forced through the
pipes at n high pressure it takes out
any dirt that there might be in the
pipes.

BEANS ARE BEST
MICHIGAN CROP
ELEV ATOR EXCHANGE GIVES
FIGURES ON THE CROP
IN STATE.

The Michigan bean crop stands out
this year as the hest proposition the
farmer had, says the Michigan Ele-
vator exchange in pointing out that
the price TO the farmer for the past
two months, hased on the average
yield Of beans per acre and the aver
age yield Of wheat per acre for the
state has brought the farmer about
S4S an acre on the beans and about
$l5 an acre for wheat
An average yield of beans in Mich
igan is 10 or 20 bushels to the acre.
There are yields Of so TO So bushels
to the acre. The average yield of
wheat in Michigan is around II bush
els to the acre.
For the past two months the price
paid TO the producer for Michigan
beans has been about 81 a hundred,
which means S2.40 bushel. On n
yield of 20 bushels TO the acre the
return to the farmer at the above
price has been about SlS an acre.
Wheat at an average yield of 10
bushels 10 the acre at prevailing
prices has returned about Sl5 an acre
TO the producer. With both beans and
wheat at a higher or lower yield, Of
course, would change the return per
acre to the producer.
The effect Of the present price of
beans has resulted in nearly half the
Michigan bean crop going TO market
within the past six weeks. Receipts
at many points have been two to
three times what they ordinarily are,
and it is very likely that the bean
acreage will be increased materially
next year.
Michigan is again the nations lead
ing bean producing state. California
held this position for two years
during the war period, but has
dropped behind Michigan once again.
The Michigan Elevator exchange
will probably handle 175 carloads Of
beans for its membership during No--
vember, according TO its estimate.
