Reject PROPOSED
BOND SUBMISSION
SUPERVISORS REJECT PROPOS.
AL TO SUBMIT BOND ISSUE
TO THE VOTERS.

At the meeting of the Gratiot
county board Of supervisors held at
Ithaca Monday, the board turned
down motion by Supervisor Albert
p. Cook of Alma that a resolution be
passed that the matter Of bonding in
the sum Of 100000, the proceeds to
be used for good roads under the di-
rection Of the Board of Supervisors,
the bonds to be issued as needed, be
put to vote of the people of the
county
The matter Of a proposal to bond
the county for 100000 has been un-
der discussion for some little time
having first come to the attention of
the public at a good roads meeting
held in st. Louis some little time ago,
and again last Friday at a meeting
Of the Gratiot County Good Roads
Association.
1t is said that there has been some
little misunderstanding regarding the
matter, especially in the rural parts
of the county and when the PROPOSE
NlOit NChN ~ a. NObt by lliI odBNi NlSOl ,
it was defeated II to 8. -Four Alma
supervisors, three from st. Louis and
the Ithaca supervisor voted in favor
Of the submission Of the proposition
TO the voters. The supervisors of the
townships voted against it.
1t is understood that the proposition
will probably be taken before the su-
pervisors at the January meeting for
a second time and that the prelimi-
nary work will be handled differently
and that it will also be indicated how
much Of the money is to be used for
state trunk line improvement and how
much of the fund for other roads of
Gratiot. 1t is believed that a mis-
understanding regarding the use to
which it was proposed to put the
money was responsible for the defeat
Of the proposition.

lliteracy in Gratiot county and the
percentage of foreign-born white peo-
pie are shown in late figures released
by the Bureau of the Census at Wash

illterate. The figures for the for
eign born whites show 7.S per cent
illiteracy. The total percentage for
the county is only Ia per cent, only
fifteen counties of the state showing

the total population 10 years of age
and over, or the total native white or
foreign-born as the case may be.

age of forcign-born whites as COM
pared to most counties of the state,

HEAT CONTENT OF GAS SHOWN
BY TESTS TO BE GIVEN PEO-
PIE BY COMMISSION.

At the meeting Of the city commits
sion Tuesday evening the commission
went on record, now that the city has
calorimeter for the measuring of heat
units in the gas supplied by the Gra-
tiot County Gas Co., in favor of fur
nishing the public each week with the
tests that the city secures on the
gas. The tests will be made a part
of the official proceedings of the
city commission published each week
in The Record.
The gas furnished by the company
is supposed to contain $40 heat units
a mile from the plant, according to
city officials. Tests over a period of
nearly half a month, made by Man
ager Reynolds, since the city received
the calorimeter, indicate that the gas
has not contained a sufficient num-
ber of heat units to comply with the
requirements of the utilities commits
sion.
The matter has been taken up with
Manager Wagner of the company
who is making every endeavor to keep
the heat units up to requirement. A
very noticeable improvement in the
number of heat units was recorded
Immediately after Manager Wagner's
attention had been called to the mat
ter, City Manager Reynolds said
Tuesday evening at the commission
meeting when he made his first re-
port, the heat units going up to soc
on the next test.

MT. PLEASANT
ELEVEN COMING
CAMPBELL GETS NORMALS FOR
FIRST GRID TILT WITH ALMA
IN NINE YEARS.

Coach Roy Campbell and Manager
Marks of the Alma College football
team have arrangements completed
for a game with the strong Mt. Pleas
ant Normal aggregation on Davis
field on Wednesday, October 26, at
300 p. M, insuring what promises
to be one of the most hotly contested
football games to be staged in Alma
this year, and one which will attract
the attention of football fans of both
Gratiot and Isabella counties.
1t will be the first meeting between
the two schools in football since 1912,
when the Alma collegians swept
everything before them in Michigan.
This year it will be different. Alma
will have no easy time with the Nor
mails, who this year boast Of the
strongest lineup that the Teachers
have ever had. The aggregation that
Parker is coaching at the Normal
consists almost entirely Of veteran
men, and it is fighting wild to face
the Alma clan and show them that the
Normalites know something about the
great fall sport.
Coach Campbell's new team will
not find the going easy against the
Normals. Alma will be forced to put
forth every bit Of fighting strength
that she possesses to stop Parker's
crack gridiron machine, which is par
ticularly strong on offensive work.
With the Ypsi game on Friday and
the game with Mt. Pleasant coming
Wednesday Alma will have all of the
football that she needs for a few days,
especially with the Olivet contest
coming on the following Saturday.
1t is reported that Mt. Pleasant
is preparing to move to Alma on
Wednesday afternoon to back up the
Normal team, which Mt. Pleasant
people feel has every prospect Of de-
feating the Maroon and Cream.

TICKET SALE To
START NEXT WEEK
LYCEUM COURSE TICKETS WILL
BE IN HANDS OF TICKET
SELLERS IN FEW DAYS.

Season tickets for the 1922 Com
munity Lyceum curse will go on
sale next week according to an
nouncement by Dr. J. T. Ewing of the
committee, who believes that the sale
for the season ticlets this year will
be large in view Of the excellence of
the program that has been arranged
for the winter, consisting as it does
of six all-star numbers.
The tickets this year will be sold
at $500 for the six numbers on the
course. A charge of ten cents will
be made for reserved seats for each
number on the program. Single adj
missions for any one attraction will
be fifty cents, so it will be readily
seen that it will be much cheaper to
have the season ticket.
Announcement is also made that
the entertainments this year will be
given in the auditorium of Alma High
School. The auditorium has a large
seating capacity and is obtained at
very reasonable amount, which makes
possible a still larger fund with
which to procure talent for the
course. This means naturally that
the attractions this year will b. bet
ter than ever before.
Entertainments this yea' viii tart
promptly at S:15 in tn evening
Doors are to open at 7:30
As the first number on the lycaum
course this year comes early n NO
vember it is important that everyone
who contemplates attending IA vo-
rious numbers, secure their season
tickets at the earliest possible e-
ment. They may be procured at tae
banks or drug stores.

CORYEL PURCHASES SHOP HE
HAS CONDUCTED FOR Lam
SING FIRM FOUR YEARS.

The Barker-F Fowler Electric shop
located on Woodwork avenue has
been sold by the Lansing concern to
+. f. Coryel, for the past four years
manager of the Alma store. The deal
was consummated last week and Mr.
Coryel took possession of the place
Monday as the proprietor.
The Barker-Fowler company en-
tered the Alma business field -four
years ago last July and since that
time has been enjoying growing
business, achieving a good popularity
in this vicinity.
Mr.. Coryel stated Monday that the
concern would continue the same elec-
trical lines that it handled under the
former management, including the re-
tail sale of fixtures and electrical
appliances. Installation work will
also continue to be one of the chief
matters of consideration Of the shop
Mr.. Coryel stated that the man
agement would be please to meet all
of its old customers at any time and
also would be pleased to meet new
people in the city. He spoke highly
of the patronage that the local store
has received in the past from Alma
people.

SERVICES FOR
D|sARNAME Mt
ALMA CHURCHES WILL JOIN IN
THE SERVICES FOR INTER
NATIONAL LIMITATION.

A call has just been issued by the
Federal Council Of the Churches of
Christ in America to its 10000 con-
stituent churches TO observe Sunday,
November 6, as day for special
prayer for Gods blessing on the In
ternational Conference in Limitation
Of Armament" soon to convene at
Washington. Request is made that
all churches shall on that day consid-
er a sermon on the subj that meet
ings during the week following shall
be held for the purpose of discussing
the international relations Of our
country and her allies, and that on
November 1lth, Armistice Day, a
mass meeting for the same purpose
in each town be held.
In response to this appeal the Alma
Federation of Churches took action
Tuesday night. 1t was decided to
observe Nov. 6 as a Day Of Prayer
and on that day to ask each pastor Of
the city to present from his pulpit
those teachings Of Christ which apply
to the issues at stake in the Washing
ton conference. On Friday, Nov. H.,
it is planned to ask that all places
of business be closed for one hour
between II noon and l p. m. and for
one half hour of that time to hold a
mass meeting for all citizens at some
central place in which short address
may be heard and a time for prayer
given.
1t is Of interest to note that similar
action to the above is not only likely
to take place at this time in all cities
of our own country but also wherever
professionalism is strong throughout
the world. The Federal Council Of
American has cabled to the Church
Federations in England, France and
Japan, suggesting similar observance
of November and II by those coun-
tries. Also the World Alliance for
International Friendship through the
churches which met at Geneva Sept.
ii, 1921, comprising twenty-three Ma
tional Councils is appealing to Chris
tians in all nations to observe Sunday,
November 6, as a day of prayer for
the Washington conference.

CROWDS TO ALMA
MANY PEOPLE TAKING ADVAN-
TAGE OF THE GREAT BAR
GAINS BEING OFFERED.
Continues Until
Saturday Night

Alma Retail Merchant Bureaus
trade extension week is here and peo-
pie from a radius Of over twenty-five
are making this city their shopping
headquarters this week, realizing that
the merchants Of Alma in their ef-
forts to extend their trade beyond
the confines Of Alma and the very
immediate vicinity are offering bar
gains this week which are not to be
duplicated in this section of the state.
Many of the people who came to
Alma from surrounding towns yester
day to trade were very agreeably
surprised, not only at the quality of
the special bargains that are being
offrcd at highly cut rate prices, but
also at the very low prices at which
the merchants generally were quoting
their most staple goods. They have
come to a realization that Alma mer-
chants arc indeed paving the way in
getting back to normal in central
Michigan.
Practically every merchant in Alma
is enjoying a business that ial
greater than the business shat 40
been enjoyed by these busine nousee
for some months, which speal,. yeit
clearly for the effect that the faae
extension week is having j. u SINS
new business for Alma.
Not only are the merchants Of s.
ma offering the people Of ce1teai
Michigan some rare bargains and
their entire stocks at low prices, H.
are giving further trade inducemen
Twice yesterday eight sacks o
flour were given away. Twice todag
eight sacks of flour are being givea
away. This will happen again cn
Friday and also on Satu day.
On top of the special 81 Of flour
that the merchants are making, there
is new Chevrolet automobile wait
ing for someone Saturday afternoon
when the drawing is held, and somone
is certain to get this automobile with
out the outlay of single penny by

OFFICERS WERE
GIVEN BATTLE
y BY INSANE MAN
FRANK PARLOVITCH, HEAVILY
ARMED, SEEKS TO KEEP
HIS FREEDOM.
Used His House
=. As A Fortress

Deputies from Sheriff Alfred T
Willerts office and Colonel Roy c.
Vandercook and number of state
police were given royal time Mon
day night and Tuesday morning in an
attempt to capture Frank Parlovitch,
an escaped inmate of the insane asy-
lum at Traverse City, who secaped
from there October l and made his
way back to his home about five
miles south east of here.
Parlovitch, whose family lived in
a cement block house, turned the
house into a miniature fortress, and
evidently aided by his mother and
brothers, determined to keep Officers
from taking him back to Traverse
City. Armed with three revolvers, a
rifle and a shotgun in addition To d
quantity of ammunition Parlovitch
was evidently in position to cause
trouble for anyone who sought to
capture him, especially as the house
stood in a clear space, so that any
person approaching the house would
be forced to make his way across the
cleared ground making fine target
for those within the house.
About October II officials from the
asylum endeavored to effect the cap
ture of Parlovitch, but the insane
man drove off the officials. Since
Saturday Sheriff Willert and his de-
puties had been keeping their eyes on
the place in the hope cf effecting the
capture Of the man, but when their
efforts to take him failed word was
sent to Lansing Monday and Governor
Groesbeck sent Colonel Roy c. Van
dercook, Captain |. NJ. Marmon and
a number of state police to the scene.
1t was intended to attack the house
Monday night about midnight, but the
moonlight was so bright that anyone
approaching the house could easily
be seen by the insane man who was
fighting to keep the officers from re-
turning him to Traverse City. A tear
gas attack was used, which drove all
except Parlovitch from the house.
During the night Parlovitch fired sew
cral shots at the forces that Colonel
Vandercook had scattered around the
house at various points of vantage,
taking refuge from the shots behind
trees and stumps, but watching war
lily to keep the insane man from max
ing an escape from the house.
Tuesday morning Colonel Wander
cook hit upon clever ruse to bring
Parlovitch from the house, fake
note to Parlovitch, delivered by his
mother bringing him out Of the house
to meet Vandercook. While the two
were going over some papers, Captain
Marmon of the state police, who was
close by, gave leap and before Par
lovitch realized what had happened
Marmon had snapped handouts on
his wrists, making him prisoner.
Shortly after he was started from
St. Louis for the asylum for the Grim
inally insane at Ionia.
