Memorial Day
Proclamation

Memorial Day is peculiarly nm
American institution. 1t is a festival
unique in the annals Of the nations
it IS the day we set apart in memory
OF the dead and in honor of the liv-
ing. The ranks Of those in whose he
half 1t was first observed grow thin
ner year by year. The time will not
be very long until these honored vet
Grams Of the Civil War will be but a
memory, but not, let us hope, a fad
ing memory. Let this generation and
the generations yet to come never
forget what they owe to the men who
left their peaceful pursuits and went
forth in the name of liberty and JUS
tice to do battle for the Union cause.
they achieved their purpose. They
saved the Union. They established
liberty and justice, and we today are
enjoying the fruits of their labors
and devotion and sacrifices.
In the Spanish-American War and
in the Great War our soldiers and
sailors and marines, by their valor
and their devotion TO the cause Of hu-
manity, amply demonstrated that the
spirit of America still lives. Their
heroic achievements nobly upheld the
best traditions of the American Army
and Navy.
Therefore, in order that we may
pay tribute of respect and affection
TO the surviving veterans of the Civil
War, the Spanish-American War and
the recent World War and do honor
TO the memory of those who gave I'D
their lives in all these wars, hereby
sincerely urge that Monday, May
30th, 1921, be fittingly observed as
Memorial Day.
And | earnestly appeal to the peo-
pie Of Michigan for hearty co-opera-
ton in plans for the observance of
the day in their respective communi-
ties. / am sure that everything pos
sible will be done for the comfort and
convenience Of the old soldiers.
On Memorial Day flags should be
displayed at half-staff until noon and
then hoisted to the top of the staff.
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal Of the State this Sixteenth
day Of May, in the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and
twenty-one, and of the Common
wealth the eightY-fifth.

DICTIONARIES
PLAY COLLEGE
JOHNSTON, FITCH, ROGERS AND
OTHER STARS TO MEET
PRESBYTERIANS.

Saturday afternoon at 800 o'clock
the baseball team representing the
George w. Myers Post 1872, American
Legion, will stack up against the
Alma college aggregation in what is
expected to be a holly contested
game.
The Legionaires have some fine
material for the team, including such
men as SCOOP" Rogers, former AL
ma College second sacker; Eddie
Johnston, who in former days hurled
the pill for the Maroon and Cream
Bullet" Fitch, who was the backstop
for Eddie; Coach Ed. Steele of w. &
j.. and a number of other budding
stars.
Johnston, who played with the
Transport Trucks Of Mt. Pleasant
last year is slated to hurl against the
collegians, and the probabilities are
that his benders will prove just as
puzzling as they did in his palmy
college days.
The collegians hope to stop the
American Legion outfit, which Buddy
Ryan is plotting, and the strongest
lineup that the Presbyterian aggre-
cation has had this year, will be sent
against the former service men. 1t
is expected that Scott or French will
be the pitching selection.

Ford Producing
1000 Per Day

Ford is building cars at full speed.
And, according to an official state
ment from the factory at Detroit, the
demand for Ford cars and trucks still
exceeds the output, despite the fact
that new high level Of production
has been reached, says Gus Thompson
OF johnson & Thompson, local Ford
dealers
BY the first Of May the figures
representing daily production were in
the neighborhood Of 1000 a day, so
the May schedule was set at 1925
cars and trucks, not including the
output Of the Ford Canadian plant or
any Of the foreign assembling plants.
The output mounted daily, May 18th
brought forth 1892, the greatest num-
Der that have been produced in one
day so far this year. Since the month
has . working days, present indica-
tions point Co a new high record.
4 comparison Of Ford production
figures for 1920 and 1921 discloses
the fact that for April, 1921, the out
put was greater by 34,5l4 than for
the corresponding month Of a year
ago. The output for May 1921 will
probably overshadow May, 1920, by
between fifteen and twenty thousand
cars and trucks.
approximately $4,000 men are at
work in the Detroit plant Of the Ford
Motor Company. The factory is OPP
Grating on full time, six days a week
and three shifts a day.

BUSINESS WOMEN
Of ALMA MEET
MEMBERS OF SAGINAW CLUB
AND LOCAL WOMEN WERE
MRS. GAFFNEY'S GUESTS.

A very interesting meeting was
held in the Wright House Parlors on
Monday evening when the business
women Of the city were invited there
by Mrs. Gaffney to meet representa-
tIves from the Saginaw business
Moments Club.
Mr. ID. l.. Johnson, introduced by
Mrs. Gaffney, gave the address OF
welcome and was followed by Mr.. w.
A. Bahlkc, who gave short address
bon which he stated that the women of
the land had great responsibility
thrust upon them for which they are
not wholly prepared, that they need
to apply themselves with due dill
eence TO that responsibility, and ARE
doing SO i'm q very creditable manner
NOS only 10y manifesting an interest
in politics but also in business prob
lems as wen. Tie then gave a brief
resume Of the history Of Gratiot
county from the beginning and Of the
Growth of Alma and its relation to
Saginaw, stating that we must now
look To the future and prophesying
That i'm time, Alma would stand in
the same relation to Saginaw that
Pontiac now stands to Detroit. He
closed his remarks by bidding the
ladies from Saginaw welcome.
Miss Mildred Sweet then sang
manner and responded to an enthus-
Little Boy Blue in a very pleasing
iastic encore.
Mrs. Gaffney next introduced Mrs.
Francis =. King, who began her re-
marks by stating that she was a firm
believer i'm women's organizations Of
an kinds, that women should organ
ize for political purposes, for prohi-
bition and especially for the enforce
men tot law. She then spoke of the
organization Of women known as the
Woman's Farm and Garden associa-
tion Of which she was for several
years president, giving a brief resume
Of the history Of the organization and
If what it has accomplished and its
future outlook. There is nothing more
steadying, more uplifting, more gen
orally helpful, than the making Of
gardens, and this is especially true
for women, she said.
Miss Bishop, president of the Sag
niaw Business Women's Association,
was next introduced, and spoke Of the
work Of that association emphasizing
the value Of such an organization
socially and along other lines as well.
She then called upon several of the
ladies who had accompanied her to
supplement her remarks, among
them, Miss Dow, Miss Wright, Mrs.
Hebert, Miss Stork and others.
Mr.. Harry Gerber. president Of the
Alma chamber of commerce pledged
the cooperation Of the Alma
chamber of commerce with any or
eanizatio which the business wo-
men Of Alma might effect, and be-
pokc their assistance and co-opera-
tion with the Chamber Of Commerce.
The purpose Of the meeting was to
arouse interest among the business
women of this city in some such
association for Alma, and Judging
from the goodly number of business
women present and their enjoyment
Of the program, it would seem that
some such organization may be eff
fected in the near future.

State LdIC Requires
ReROU0L of Signs

The state highway department
calls the attention 10 the law requlr-
ing that all signs, markers or guide
posts not authorized must be removed
from within the limits Of all trunk
line highways. This IS a proper or
der and one which can not fail to
meet the approval Of all autoists. IL
is exceedingly confusing, when the
driver is looking for definite au-
thorized direction to find it necessary
to read a dozen big advertising signs
before he can discover what ne
wants.
