j. GLASS OFFICE
81 AGAIN IS WORD
BUSINESS AT ALMA POST OF
sFrCE SHOWING NEARLY $3.50
INCREASE THIS YEAR.
NelO Ratings
Come In July

The Alma postoffice has the prom
Use Of again becoming a first class
office after July /, 1922, it became
known the first of the week, as the
receipts Of the office have every in
dication this year of exceeding the
$4,000 worth Of business required
for first class office.
Two years ago Alma's postoffice
from January to January /, exceed
ed $4,000 worth of business and the
following July became a first class
office. Last year from January to
January /, the receipts of the office
fell $1,000 below the amount required
for a first class office and on July
OF this year the ranking of the office
fell, and with the lower ranking of
the office 5000 was Topped off from
the salary Of the postmaster, making
the office one that paid $4,000, which
il Is doing at the present time.
l> At the present time, and in fact
since the first Of the year, the post
office has had it receipts growing so
that il is certain to make up for the
$4,000 which ii fell short last year,
and will have considerable to spare
in returning to a first class office. 1t
was during the last three months of
last year that the receipts of the
Office fell down. During October and
November of this year they have ex-
ceeded last years business for those
months TO such an extent that it will
more than make up last years short
age, on the sum required for first
class office. The increase over last
year is expected to be approximate
ly .95 per cent.
; The rating of the first class office
does not come with the close of the
year in which the business exceeds
$4,000, but on the July l following
80, il will not be until next July
that the office will again be rated as
a first class postoffce. At that time
the salary of the postmaster will be
increased 5000, to $3,200, and the as
sistaht postmaster will receive a $50
boost.
In this connection it might be in
teresting to note that NJ. Stuckey
the assistant postmaster, said Tues.
day that it was the desire of the
postoffce officials here to have peo.
pie bring complaints to either the
postmaster or the assistant when
they have them to make. In even,
that complaints are made to the
proper source, so that full knowledge
OF such complaints can be secured
every effort will be made to rectify
them, he said The postoffice offic
ials are also willing to receive sug
gestions that might aid in betterine
the service here, he stated.

WELL THROUGH
ROCK STRATA
At 655 FEET
IT is EXPECTED THAT THE NEW
WELL WORK WILL CONTINUE
TO GREATER DEPTH
The Exploration
Work Is Valuable

Almas new we'll is now down to a
depth of 655 feet, approximately the
last 200 feet of the well having been
drilled through rock, and in the strata
of ground beneath the rock, the
ground caved to such an extent that
it is expected that a pipe will be sunk
inside of the drill hole to the present
depth and the well put down deeper
One big reason for desiring to con-
tinue the well to a further depth is
the fact that the city officials are
anxious to ascertain whether or not
water may be secured at q deeper
point. The solution Of this veXina
question at the present time, with
the we'll at its present depth, can
be made at small additional cost as
compared with the sinking of new
well at some future period, and then
if water is not located in sufficient
quantities for a larger Alma, force a
large expenditure for other means of
securing water.
II IL II NNtlldlIltu lldb BitiNg VI
water can be secured at deeper
strata it will mean that the city will
have a means of furnishing an abund
ance of water for years to come for
the people of Alma, and that the well
water system will be the solution Of
the cty's water problem.
If it cannot be located in quantities
ut deeper strata, the city will still
be able to tap the pipe between 400
and $50 feet by perforating the pipe,
which goes down to the rock at 450
feet, and obtain enough more water
to supply the city for the coming few
years with this we'll and the present
wells.
1t would also serve to show that at
some future date the city would be
forced to provide for some other
means of securing water, and would
allow future work at the water works
to be made with that in view during
the coming years and perhaps save a
large sum Of money to the city.
State surveys indicate that water
will be secured at a deeper spot by
the present we'll The wells in ST.
Louis, Ithaca and Midland, which
/ furnish water for those communities
are about the depth of the present
well here, but indications from state
1 figures are that Alma lies over the
bowl of basin, the rock dipping to
deeper point here than in the sur
rounding territory. Thus it is hoped
that a good flow of water may be Sc
cured when the earth stratas at a
deeper depth are reached

Christmas Seal
Day, December 4

Lansing, Nov. 23-Christmas Seal
Sunday will this year be observed by
the churches in Michigan on Dec. 4.
All ministers in the state will be re-
quested by personal letter to give
some attention on that day to the
fight against tuberculosis. The sale
Of Christmas seals will begin on
Thanksgiving Day, and by the time
the seal sale Sunday comes most COM
munities in the state will be in the
thick Of the work.
An attempt will be made to have
some four thousand pastors in Michi-
gan call the attention, of their congre-
cations to the health campaign for
the purpose Of which the seal sale is
conducted. Many ministers have al
ready given assurance to the Michi-
gan tuberculosis association that
they will observe the day.
Almost every pastor in the state
has a direct interest in the tubercu-
loss campaign because there is nc
minister who has been in the work for
any length of time who has not been
called upon to pronounce funeral SER
mons over tuberculosis victims whose
lives might easily have been saved il
the necessary means had beer
brought to bear.

Michigan Hen Near
The Worlds Record

Coming within eight eggs of the
Worlds record for her breed, and
within twelve eggs Of the "all-breeds" !"
record, Mary Ann III, Barred Rock
hen owned by the Michigan Agricul-
tural College, has just completed a
years egg production which has won
her a lasting place in the poultry
Hall Of Fame. Mary Ann laid the
remarkable total of 3O2 eggs between
Nov. 16, 1920 and Nov. Is, 1921.
Proof that "blood will tell" is given
by the fact that Mary Ann ii has four
sisters who produced between 200 and
$50 eggs last year. She is the daugh-
ter of Mary Ann /, the founder of the
now famous strain Of Barred Rocks
owned at NJ. A. c.
The "Ann" family are to be on dis
play for class room work during a
special Poultry Short Course which
opens at the College on November 2s
and runs for four weeks.
During the short course we will
show how to raise hens capable Of
making such records, as well as how
to handle them to make the. records
possible says w. f. Newlins, AS.
sistant Professor Of Poultry at M. A
c. 81
An advanced Poultry Husbandry
course is to be given at the College if
January, according to the Winter
Short Course program. The work Of

tical man who is actually engaged, oil

LAY CONCRETE ON
MARQUETTE AVE-.
525 FEET PAVING BEING BUILT
FROM REPUBLIC AVE. TO
WHEEL PLANT.

Because of the fact that during the
greater part Of last winter, Mar
quette avenue was almost impossible
for the loads to and from the North
ern: Wheel Company, steps to correct
this condition are now under way by
the. city officials, which promise to
give the factory a good outlet to Re-
public avenue.
,, At the present time a concrete
pavement from Republic avenue, east
to Che factory, distance of 525 feet
is being constructed. The paving is
being laid only eight feet wide. This
street, however, is little travelled, ex-
cept for the traffic to and from the
factory and it is felt that the eight
foot width will be sufficient for the
purpose, as it will be very seldom
that two teams or trucks will meet
on the single block.
The Northern Wheel Company Of
ficials some time ago pointed out the
condition to the city officials, indicat
ing to them the much greater cost o,
moving the products OF the company
over the poor road in this. block.
The construction Of the eight foo
span Of paving on Marquette avenu,
will give the company fine outle
to Republic avneue and down this
well graveled street to the paving OF
Michigan avenue.

zETA SIGMA HAS
ANNUAL BANQUET
DANCE IN COLLEGE GYM FOL-
LOWS BANQUET IN |. O. O.
+. HALL.

The Zeta Sigma Literary Society
held it's thirty-third annual banquet
in the LO.O.F. hall Saturday even
ing. November 10Th. Many Alumni
and friends. as well as the active
members of the society were present
at this social function which yearly
marks the zenith of social endeavor
of the society.
At six o'clock in the evening,
couples began to gather in the lodge
rooms of the |. o. O. +. hall. With
out delay they were assembled in a
line according TO their position in the
guest list Of the program, and as
Gallagher's fve-piece orchestra struck
up q lively march, they were led into
the banquee room by President and
Mrs. II. NJ. Crooks. The decorations
for the room were of the simplest
sort and yet they were sufficient to
greet the observer with the pleasant
est sensations. The long tables, GOV
cred with white linen and set with
glittering silver reminded one of the
great essential of a banquet; glimpses
Of society and Alma colors on ban
ners and streamers released pent up
enthusiasm for an event which an
ticipation had stored up. When
everyone had reached his assigned
place, Or. Crooks returned thanks to
the One who had made the banquet
possible, and then all sat down to
enjoy themselves before the speakers
had an opportunity to oblterate any
possible desire to eat.
After the debris from the vicious
attacks on the feast had been clear
ed away, Toastmaster Marks arose
gave the welcome and introduced the
/ first speaker of the evening, Victor
/ Crittenden, president of the society
who spoke Of the Importance Of a
good foundation in connection with q
society as well as with a house. The
next speaker, Lowell Hudson, likeneo
/ the framework of the society TO the
many experiences that an organiza-
/ ton has to meet. The faculty Of the
college was ably represented by Pro
fessor X. c. Ditto, whose speecf
which was, "The House That Zets
Sigma Built" intimated that the roo
of the structure was in a position
TO look down upon the activities
which transpire inside the house ano
to see if the members are working
as they should. The last three speak
ers, Don Smith accompanied by Rob
lfnson from the Alumni, Fred Mobley
representing the Freshmen, and Mis-
Mildred Cash, president Of the Alph'
Theta society, represented well th'
equally as important parts of house
"The Shingles" "The Stucco," anC
THE Porch" respectively. At tn
conclusion of the programme, TIT
guests and the patronesses, Mrs
katherine Foster Roberts, Dean o
Women, and Mrs. Harry Mean
Crooks, were taken to the colleg
gymnasium where dancing was en-
ioyed until eleven-thirty.
As usual, everyone enjoyed th'
Zeta Sigma Banquet, for to thos,
really interested in the activities o
society there is no re-awakening o
acquaintances, no spirit OF interest
Of friendliness, nor of good fellowship
like that spirit which is shown a
Zeta Sigma's Annual Banquet.

IS AIDING MANY
EX-SERV|CE MEN
CLEANUP SQUADS COME TO
THE FORMER SERVICE MAN
WHEN IT is NECESSARY.

One of the best proofs, that the
newly created L. S. Veterans Bureau
is functioning efficiently and in the
best interests of the disabled eX-serv-
ice men, lies in the work Of the Clean
up Squads. These Squads are organ
lied through the District office and
there is, at the present time, one
Squad operating in each Of the forty
eight states of the Union.
The u. S. Veterans Bureau is a
government bureau which came into
being upon the enactment Of the
Sweet Bill in July of this year and is
composed 70 the three old government
agencies, the Federal Board for No-
cational Education, L. S. Public
Health Service and the Bureau Of
War Risk Insurance, all of which
were consolidated to form this new
agency. This District, which is the
eighth, comprises the States of Hi
nois, Michigan aid Wisconsin, the
district office being at Chicago, Hi
noiS.
In order to give service and elimi-
nate "red tape" the Veterans Bureau
has ben organized on decentraliza-
tion plan. Fourteen district offices
have been established in different
parts of the country, and under these,
there are one hundred and forty sub
district offices in operation. The out
standing feature of this plan is that
men desiring relief or training from
the government can get 1t directly
from the district office, whereas for
merly it was necessary for adjust
ments and authorizations to be made
from Washington. Through decen-
traization, the Bureau has estab-
lished personal contact with the ex-
service man who are its wards, and
today every disabled man can easily
find the means to talk over his case
personally with Bureau representa-
tive.
The Cleanup Squads, one of which
is operating in each state, Michigan
1 Wisconsin and Illinois, is one of the
most successful means of bringing
the Bureau to the disabled eX-service
man. Each Squad consists of a Com.
pensation Expert, Training Expert
Physician and a Secretary, who are
sent out from the Bureau; and fur
ther than this all Squads in this Dis
trict are now accompanied by repre-
sentative of the American Legion anc
the American Red Cross. These
Squads travel about in the state anC
establish headquarters for severa
days at some town which is the center
of population in the District. TIL,
ex-service men living within radius
of twenty-five or fifty miles of tha
town can then come to the Squad foi
personal interviews and present theii
claims for disqualification, compensa
tion, and vocational training.
Any ex-service man who is inter
ested in presenting a claim to one o
these Squads, may procure furthe
information concerning same b.
communicating with his local post o
the American Legion, the American
|. Red Cross, or the District Office o
