PAVING WORK
NEARLY DONE
EXPECTED TO FINISH WORK On
EAST SUPERIOR STREET
IN FEW DAYS.

1t is probable that before the end
Of the present week all Of the state
trunk line highway paving within the
corporate limits of the City Of Alma
will have been brought to a conclu-
sion, as workmcn are now laying the
concrete on East Superior street rap
idly and are nearing the end Of the
work
The paving on East Superior street
from Republic avenue, east to the
city limits, is twenty feet in width,
and as result can be laid much
more rapidly than some Of the other
spans in the city, which were con-
structed thirty feet in width, the city
paying the cost Of the extra ten feet.
After the work Of laying the con-
crete has been brought to a conclu-
sion the paving will be blocked off
for about three weeks until it has
dried and settled thoroughly, after
which it will be opened to traffic.
The entire stretch Of paving on the
trunk line out Wright avenue to the
city limits has now been opened TO
the public, leaving the only detour on
trunk line roads in the city the one
on East Superior street.

Good Contention
Held Recently

The eighth district convention of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union was held in St. Louis October
20 and 21, and proved to be one Of
the most inspiring meetings ever
held in the district. The people of
the town made the delegates very
welcome, and lent themselves to
make the convention a success. The
music under the direction of Mrs.
Storey was a great help in making
the program interesting. The even
ing address was by Mrs. Calkins,
state president, who in giving a re-
view Of the temperance question
proved that national prohibition was
an outcome of legislation, and not an
act of the dry forces while our boys
were overseas; an accusation often
made by the vets.
Officers for the following year are
Mrs. Mary McGee, Owosso, presi-
dent; Mrs. Grace Siblcy, Saginaw,
vice presidents; Mrs. Nina Gage,
Saginaw, cor. secretary; Mrs. Minnie
Ciandell, Alma, rec. secretary; Mrs.
Eta Killian, Garland. treasurer.

{. CLARK DIED
Of BURNS FROM
EXPLODING OIL
ALMA MEAT CUTTER FATALLY
BURNED SUNDAY ATTEMPT
ING TO START FIRE.
Held in High
Regard in Alma

Edward NJ. Clark, for some time
past a meat cutter at J. A. Bartley's
meat market in this city, was so bad
ly burned at his home in Marion Sun
day morning, when a can of kerosene
which he was using to start Fire
exploded, that he died Sunday even
ing in Branierd hospital in Alma to
which he had been brought by Gran
dell's ambulance. He was 80 years
Of age.
1t seems that Clark started to pour
some kerosene into the stove at his
home Sunday morning, and the ignit-
ing gases caused the can to explode
Oil was thrown about the room and
in a seconds time Clark was mass
of flames from head to foot. His
wife rushed to his aid and was badly
burned in assisting him.
The fire was extinguished on his
body with rapidity, but not before
he had been burned from his feet
to his head. An ambulance was sent
to Marion from this city and he was
brought to Alma and taken to Brain
crd hospital. He was so badly burned,
however, that there was no chance for
his recovery and he died Sunday.
The body was shipped to Marion
Monday noon by Crandel & Scott,
where funeral services were held
Tuesday Rev. Duffey accompanied
the body to Marion in the hope of
assisting the bereaved family, sor-
rowing wife and four young children,
the youngest Of whom is only about
six weeks of age.
The house in which the oil explod-
ed was practically entirely destroyed
by the flames from the kerosene,
which was thrown around by the
force of the explosion.
Clark had been employed at the j.
A. BARLEY meat market on East Su-
perior street for some little time, and
was held in high regard by the many
friends that he has made since COM
ing to this city to work.

Think of Community
Not of individual

Many towns are discussing the
question Of what is the greatest need
Of the town. What, can we say, is
the greatest need of St. Louis? We
can point to many needs-things that
would go to make us a better town
in which to live. Other towns do
the same. Some say paved streets;
some demand better police and fire
protection; some that a library is
prime need. But we have not no.
ticed that any Of them have touched
on what we believe to be the great
est need in st. Louis, and in many
another town-a broader charity.
Not almsgiving, but that charity
which covers the faults Of another
yet tends to their correction. With
this spirit Of charity, will come a
community spirit, all working for the
common good-and when that spirit
permeates any town that town will
secure all the material needs. The
greatest need of any town'is spiritual
teaching the people to think in
terms of the community instead of
the indiyidual.-St. Louis Leader.
The Leaders view Of what is need
ed to make a real city can be easily
applied the world over. Alma, like
her sister city, can take real inter-
est in Editor Burgdorf's sermon.

RIVERDALE
MAN VICTIM
Of BANDITS
LURED TO BARN TO TRADE
HORSES HE Is RELIEVED OF
$500 BY THREE MEN.
Robbery Took
Place "Wednesday

Henry Vanderhoff, a farmer living
northwest Of Riverdalc, caused a sem
sation here Wednesday morning when
he walked into the Alma Elevator
and announced to j. Watkins, manag-
er, that he had just been relieved Of
over $500 by three men in a barn just
south Of the elevator.
Watkins put Vanderhoff in his au-
tomobie and brought him to police
headquarters and as soon as possible
officers were searching the town for
anyone who might have the slightest
knowledge Of the robbery. Three sus-
poets were picked up during the
morning. One man was picked UP at
the depot, and two men were taken
from a freight train During the
day all three were able to satisfy the
officers that they had no knowledge
Of the affair.
Vanderhof stated that one Of the
men met him On the street, called
him by name and asked him if he de
sired to trade horses. Nandcrhoff
accompanied the the man to the barn,
he stated, whore the other two men
were in waiting. One pulled his hat
down over his face, and a second
man grabbed his arms and pinioned
them, he stated. The third took his
wallet from an inside pocket Of his
coat. One Of the men then struck
him and knocked him down, he stat
ed, after which they ran around the
barn and down into the flats, dis
appearing, he stated.

WATER SECURED
At A DEPTH OF
OVER 900 FEET
NEW CITY WELL TAPS VEIN OF
WATER LOCATED IN THE
BEDROCK.
NOlU Being Tested
BY City Officials

Prospects for the completion Of the
new water system to such an extent
that the people of this city will have
pure well water available in their
homes, are now excellent, the new
well at a depth Of $40 feet having
struck water the first Of the week,
giving a flow, which while not yet
measured, is believed to be sufficien'
to round out the supply that is need
ed together with the other cir wells
to give Alma an adequate wat sup-
ply.
The new we'll from which water ls
now being pumped for test purposcs
had reached a depth Of $40 feat Whom
water was reached in bedrock. The
strata that is yielding the water
through the new well is at such
depth that it will not interfere in tne
least, it is believed, with any Of The
flowing wells around the city. Nc
until the we'll has been pumped t.
quite an extent to see if the watet
will hold up, will test be made for
the quantity Of water that can be Sc
cured from the we'll in gallons per
minute.
Tuesday morning samples of the
water were taken and were sent to
NJ. A. c. to be tested. The report of
the test is expected shortly.
If the we'll holds up as conditions
seem to warrant, the connections tc
connect up the we'll with the pumping
station will be secured, matter OF
only a few days, and Alma will be
given pure well water very shortly
afterwards.
Just how quickly the well will be
tested out TO the satisfaction of the
city officials and connected with the
pumping station, is something that
Manager Reynolds was not prepared
TO say the first of the week, there
being no desire on the part of the
officials to promise pure we'll water
in the homes Of the city more quickly
that the needed arrangements can be
made.

BEET FACTORY
STARTED RUN
BEET SLICING CAM
PA!GN PUT UNDER WAY AT
ALMA PLANT SATURDAY.

The Alma Plant of the Michigan
Sugar Company got under way with
its annual fall campaign Saturday,
when the first beets Of the year were
started through the slicers and it is
expected that the factory will be in
continuous operation fog about 20
days before the run comes to an end.
During the past few months the
plant has been overhauled for the
annual campaign with a view of put
ting the machinery, etc, in the best
possible shape for the annual cam
paign, to avoid possible delays by
breakdowns and other unlocked for
causes.
The weather of the past two weeks
has been such that the farmers have
able to devote plenty Of time to the
beet harvest and with the roads in
good shape beets have been brought
to the sheds Of the company here
rapidly by the use Of both wagons
and trucks. Many cars of beets have
been received over the railroads from
nearby towns, where farmers have
beets under contract for the Alma
plant, and there is every prospect
that with a little more favorable
weather beets will be received at the
factory rapidly enough to give good
surplus so that there will be no dan
ger of the factory being forced to
stop slicing because Of beets not be-
ing received rapidly enough.

COUNTY WILL
GRIND FLOUR
GRATIOT PLANS ON DOING ITS
RELIEF WORK FOR ARMENIA
IN RIGUT WAY.

There seems to be a misunder-
standing on the part of some as to
the organization Of the Near East
Relief work in Gratiot county. The
state organization appointed the fol-
lowing representatives from the
Gratot county agricultural organiza-
tios:
Floyd Hines, president, Gratiot
County Farm Bureau.
Clare Smith, president, Arcadia
Farmers Club.
VIM. Stadlburger, president, Eu-
gene Arbor Cleaners.
Frank Howes, master, Gratiot Po-
mona Grange.
The committee met in the farm bu-
reau office and selected Frank iIowes
as chairman.
After talking the matter over
with many people in the county, it
was decided to have the wheat ground
into flour and the corn into meal -
a local mill, bagged ready for eN-
port. The Grand Trunk railroai will
transport it free to the shinsije and
the Ann Arbor has been ashed tu de-
liver it to the Grand Tr t free OF
charge.
If it is more convenient for amy to
donate money than the gcair tho
money will all be spent for wncat or
corn. Under the arrangements, each
one who donates to this worthy cause
may be sure that this donation is
1907 efficient. This grain cal bc
