SUGAR FACTORY
To START Soon
HARVEST HAS STARTED AND
BETS WILL BE RECEIVED
At STATIONS MONDAY.

Harvesting of beets under contract
by the Alma Plant Of the Michigan
Sugar Company started on Wednes-
day of this week and on Monday, Oc-
tober II, all of the receiving stations
of the company will be opened to
receive beets. The exact time Of the
starting of the plant, however, is still
questionable.
The factory will open just as quick
" as a sufficient quantity of beets
have been received at the sheds Of the
plant to make it fairly certain that a
run of bad weather would not deplete
the supply of beets to such an extent
as to force a temporary closing Of the
plant. Weather conditions during
the next week or ten days will have
much to do with the time that the
beet sicing campaign will be put un-
dor way. If the weather holds good
beets are certain TO be rushed to the
factory in large quantities and per-
NIT an early start.
Mr.. Allen, manager Of the Alma
plant, expects that the company will
slice upwards Of $4,000 tons Of beets
at the plant here during the season.
II is expected that the run will last
approximately 20 days.

KrOh and Others
VIII Be Speakers

The biggest good roads meeting
ever held in Gratiot county will be
held in Ithaca from 1000 a. m. until
500 p. m. Friday, October II, in the
armory. 1t is expected that the meet
ing will be the most productive of
good for the future of the highways
of the county of any ever held, and
every person in the county who can
find the time to attend should be
present at the event.
\. L. kroh, one of the leading good
roads experts Of the country, will be
present and give an address on the
subject Of better roads. Mir. Kroh is
an expert who is in constant demand
1T the big state road meetings in va
r.ous states and Gratiot is indeed
fortunate in getting him to attend
this meeting and give an address. He
is an extremely forceful speaker and
being strong advocate of good roads
is able to present his subject in a
most highly convincing manner
Phil T. Colgrove of Hastings, one
of Michigan's well known good roads
men, hopes to be at the convention.
Deputy State Commissioner of
Roads Nelson will be present and
will tell those who attend the session
just what the state can do for Gratiot
county and the conditions under which
certain things can be done. Consider
able information regarding the work
Of the state in the betterment Of the
highways will undoubtedly be forth
coming in his address.
Some of the townships Of Gratiot
have been trying out the township
patrol system during the past year,
and it is expected that reports from
these townships as to the results
achieved during the year will be
made. These reports promise to be of
unusual interest as the patrol system
is a new thing to Gratiot.
Another interesting feature Of the
big meeting will be the presence at
the armory Of the leading good roads
advocates in Saginaw, Isabella, Liv-
ingston and Montcalm counties.
Good music will be furnished and
will aid greatly in enlivening the
meeting.
The report Of the committee recent
~ appointed at a good roads meeting
held at st. Louis will be made at the
Friday meeting, and will endeavor to
give its best opinion as to how Gra-
tiot county is to get its share Of the
$5O,OOO,O00 bond issue raised by the
state for good roads. Gratiot must
eventually pay its share of the bono
issue and it would seem like, and is
poor business for the county to pass
up the opportunity to get its share
Of the bond issue.

TYPHOID FEVER HERE

There are number of cases Of ty-
phoid fever in the southern part of
the city, the cause of which is as yet
unknown. Tests of milk used in that
vicinity indicate that the milk is not
responsible for the condition, and is
regarded as possible that it comes
from contaminated wells. Manager
Reynolds deems it advisable to have
all drinking water boiled as pre-
caution. He also says that it would
not be unwise to take the same pre-
caution with milk, although there is
still nothing to indicate that the milk
might be in any way responsible.

HERE |S LATEST THINGS ABROAD
 IN MASCOT LINE
By Ruth Sterry

The latest thing in mascots has been discovered in connection with the great races to be staged at the Los Angeles speedway on Feb. 22.
 It is a mans gray flannel shirt!
 Where once upon time the man who entered the lists for champion ships wore miladys discarded glove. or a knot of her ribbons, or a rose thrown from her hand, today the modern knight picks his own mascot-and in at least one instance it's gray flannel shirt
 Roscoe Sarles, one of the worlds greatest speed kings, is the origina tor of q flannel shirt as a lucky piece, and he has secretly worn the flannel shirt for six years now in all but two of the races he has ever ever been in.
 He wore this shirt first because it was warm and soft, and he won his race. Twice he laid the shirt aside when he was racing, and each time he lost So now this self-same thirt is his most prized possession, and he'd no more think of racing without wearing it than of racing without a car. Between races Sarles puts his precious flannel shirt away in moth balls and cherisheS it carefully. It's out of moth balls now and all ready for service on the great day. Feb. P
