ALMA : BAKERIES
HAD SMALL FIRES
FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED
TO CALLS FROM SUPERIOR
AND MODEL BAKERIES.

Twice this past week the Alma fire
department has been called to respond
to fire alarms sent in by Alma bak-
cries, the first on Monday night call
ing the department to the Superior
bakery and the second calling the
firemen to the Model Bakery, early
Wednesday mornings
The blaze at the Superior bakery
was very small one and had been
extinguished before the department
arrived on the scene. The loss was
very small.
Wednesday morning about 4:30 the
department was called to the Model
Bakery where a fire had started in
a room at the southeast corner Of the
building on the second floor. The
flames had gained considerable
headway by the time that the depart
ment reached the scene, but prompt
and efficient work soon had the
flames extinguished. The loss is not
expected to reach more than $500.
As the fire was on the second floor,
and above the packing room, it was
not sufficiently severe to cripple the
bakery or halt the production, which
proceeded with its usual activities on
Wednesday.

Children Contract
Disease From Mix

When an early writer first framed
the remark that truth is stranger
than fiction, it was the outcome of
vivid observation. The statement
became trite through repetition, but
occasionally leaps into strong out
line in fact. A case in point has just
come to the notice of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The department, through it's office
of motion pictures, recently produced
a film, "Out of the Shadows" which
told Of tuberculosis creeping into a
family through the unnoticed infec-
ton of handsome herd of cattle In
the film the farmer disposed of his
unhealthy animals and built on a
sound basis.
Now comes report through the
Vermilion County Farm Bureau of a
case in Edgar County, Illinois, more
striking than the picture story and
without its happy ending. A farmer
had his herd tested for tuberculosis
and one cow reacted. Instead of de-
stroying her, the farmer declared the
test undependable, removed the ear
tag, and sold her to his hired man
for wages.
Of seven children in the mans
family, five have pronounced cases
of tuberculosis. The other two did
not drink this cows milk. A pig
and cat also contracted disease after
drinking the milk. A warrant has
been issued for the original owner on
charge Of breaking quarantine, and
it is stated, should one of the chill
dren die, he will be subject to a
charge Of manslaughter.

CIedn-Up Squad
At SaginalU

Veterans of the World War will be
afforded an opportunity to press their
claims against the federal govern
ment in a meeting at Saginaw from
September - to 1G. A "Clean-Up
Squad" of federal officials will hear
their claims, and American Legion
representatives will be there to help
them.
Claims will be heard both from
men who have cases pending and
from those who wish to file claims
for the first time. Men who wish to
protest awards which they now re-
ceive, because they consider them in
adequate, also will be given an op-
portunity.
DR.. Frank b. Broderick, State Wei
fare Officer of the American Legion,
sends the following tabloid instruc-
tions to prospective claimants:
"lf you think you have a claim, be
sure to come in. Bring your honor
able discharge, and every possible
scrap Of evidence. Be sure to con-
meet up your present disability with
your service in the war. Bring affi-
davits from men who served with
you, or from physicians. If you are
protesting a present award, make
your evidence all the stronger"
At Saginaw, the cases of veterans
from Saginaw, Gratiot, Tuscola, Bay
and Midland counties will be heard.
In some meritorious cases, transpor-
tation of claimants from their homes
to Saginaw will be refunded to them.

Another Fire
This Morning

Shortly after midnight this morn
ing the Alma Fire Department was
called to the Horr e. Gibbs block, bet
ter known perhaps as the Church
block, where a fire had started in a
vacant apartment on the second floor
over the National Clothing store.
The fire was discovered by G.. Her
ron, assistant police chief, who turned
in the alarm. BY the time that the
department arrived on the scene the
fire had gained good headway, but
prompt action quickly brought the
flames under control Water damage
was exceptionally light, chemicals be-
ing used exclusively by the depart
ment in extinguishing the blaze.
The loss will probably be several
hundred dollars.

ATHLETICS ON
THE UPGRADE
A. II. S. EXPECTS STRONG TEAM ;
COLLEGE AGGREGATIONS TO
BE MUCH STRONGER.

Athletic fans in this city have the
promise of seeing a brand of athletic
teams at both Alma High School and
at Alma College, this coming year
that will be better than those shown
last year, if present Indications hold
true.
There is every indication that ath-
letic conditions at Alma College are
taking a decided turn for the better,
but of course it is still too early 70
Judge just how big an improvement
will be noted.
The coming of Coach Roy Camp
bell to Alma. after six years of coach
ing experience at the University of
Detroit and Knox College, has proven
popular and it is intimated that Alma
will see a number Of good athletes
in college this year from various see
tionstof the state, who will be able to
hold their cwn. This promises to be
particularly true in basketball and
baseball
Conditions for football are prob
lematical as yet. a better team by
far than Alma had last year is re-
garded as a certainty. However the
Maroon and Cream from its stand
ing last year has long way to beat
back to the championship path of
the NJ. /. A. A., and must show an
improvement little short of wonder
full to cop in football. Some splendid
material is being looked for, when
college opens next week, but whether
it will be plentiful enough and of
good enough caliber to allow real
old time team, is the proposition that
is open to question.
At Alma High School practice is
already underway, Coach Mullin
having called out his candidates
Tuesday evening, when 22 men re-
ported, which included seven veter-
ans, Wednesday still more men
turned out. Three old men-Elias,
Anderson and Hyde have not yet re-
ported for grid work. 1t is expected
that Anderson and Elias will be out
next week with the squad. Hyde, it
is reported, will not don the mole
skins this season.
The old men who turned out Tues
day evening were Garner, Sartor,
Marzoff, Holmes, D'Armond, Wallace
and Handley.
Much of the success of the team
will depend on how soon Anderson
and Elias, two stars of last years
aggregation, report. Both are hard
fighters and will be needed right
from the start, especially in view of
the fact that two Of the hardest con-
tests of The season are among the
first three games on the schedule.
Among the new men that Coach
Mullin is working with, is some
promising material that should make
good, but the men will not be able to
replace Elias and Anderson in the
early games, should the two stars
fail to turn out for the fall sport.
Much Of the success of the team will
depend on the two men. 1t is re-
ported, however, that they will be on
the job the first of the week.

Health Society
Clinic Successful

The Gratiot County Good Health
Society made very creditable show
ing at the Gratiot County Fair held
last week
In cooperation with the State
Board of Health, the Gratiot County
Red Cross, and its nurse, Miss Acker-
man, the society conducted very sue
cessful tent at the fair.
One hundred and thirty-five babies
were weighed and measured and sew
eral emergency cases were cared for.
An excellent rest room was provided
for the mothers and was constantly in
use.
Prizes were awarded for the most
perfect babies by the good health
organization.
DIR. Poole, the examining physician,
stated that he had found a higher
percentage of normal babies in Gra-
itot county than in some of the other
counties where he has been doing a
similar work.
The organization also made use of
the opportunity to solicit member
ships and was very successful in this
respect also.

GOOD YEAR IS
PROSPECT AS
SCHOOLS OPEN
NUMBER OF PUPILS IN ALMA
SCHOOLS ABOUT THE SAME
AS YEAR AGO.
Slight Decrease
is Noticeable

The Alma Public Schools opened
Tuesday with an enrolment of nearly
$50 more pupils than when the
schools closed in June, but with a
number about 30 less than the total
enrolment of year ago, according
to figures taken from the files.
Four Of the five schools show an
enrolment that is much larger than
the enrolment Of the same schools
in June. Only the Lincoln school
had a larger enrolment in June than
at the present time
Only one of the buildings now has
more pupils than it had year ago,
this being the Republic school,
which shows an increase Of three.
| Thus the loss of the enrolment over
year ago in September is shown to
be scattered nearly equally over the
various schools, and the increase over
last June being distributed very
nearly even.
A comparison Of the attendance at
the various buildings at the present
time, a year ago and when the
schools closed in June is interesting.
There are 316 students in the high
school at the opening of the year.
Last year in September when the
schools opened the number was 325.
In June it had decreased to 305.
/ l.. L,.
rollment at the present time of $50.
This is much higher than the mark
of 316 in June when the schools
closed, but is far short of the mark
of 800 when school opened year
ago,
The Lincoln school reported 426
pupils yesterday. In June the num-
ber attending was 442. Last Septem-
Der it was 432, slightly more than
this September, and slightly less than
in June.
Republic school shows an increase
over last year and is the only school
to show the increase as compared
with last September. At the present
time the enrolment shows 421 p1-
pills. Last September the enrolment
was 4l8. In June, 1921, it was only
357.
Hillcrest school also shows a nice
increase over last June. There are
1913 pupils enrolled as compared with
"A in June. The number is slightly
under last September's mark of 1870,
however.
The attendance at all Of the schools
yesterday was 1856. This is 80 less
than last September when there were
1866 pupils. 1t is, however, 142
more than the number of students at
tending all of the schools in June.
The. fact that the Alma Public
Schools have suffered only such a
very slight decline over year ago,
is indicative of the fact that Alma
has not been as hard hit by the pc
riod of depression as dame rumor
would have one believe.
AT a meeting of the teachers Mon
day afternoon Superintendent Kelder
impressed upon them the necessity
of getting the school work under way
at the earliest possible time, and it
Is surprising to notice the way that
both teachers and the pupils are evil
IDENTIFY cooperating to secure the very
best results.
