TIUO Small Fires
During the Week

During the past week the Alma
Fire Department has been called to
respond to two fire alarms, one
Thursday evening at the headquar-
ters of the Yellow Taxi company, and
one Sunday afternoon at the home of
Mayor Charles r. Murphy.
Thursday evenings fire saw one of
the yellow taxi's ruined by flames
and the barn used for storing the
cars of the company damaged.
The fire at the home of Mayor
Murphy Sunday afternoon did little
damage other than to burn small
hole in the roof of the house. The
damage will probably not exceed $35.

TICKETS ARE
NOW ON SALE
COMMUNITY LYCEUM SEASON
TICKETS ARE NOW IN THE
HANDS OF SELLERS.

Tickets for the Community Lyceum
course, which will open about the
middle of November, and will give to
Alma people six fine attractions dur
ing the winter months, are now on
sale and expectations are that the
season ticket sale this year will be
much shorter than it has been in past
years, because of the demand that
there is certain to be for tickets be-
cause Of the high class of the enter
tainmcnts that are coming to this
city. The tickets went on sale Tues
day.
The ticket sale is in charge of stu
dents Of Alma High School, and they
are making plans for pushing the
ticket sale with a rush so as to have
the entire number of tickets sold be-
fore the opening number Of the course
if possible. The ticket sale will be
more limited this year than last be-
cause of the fact that the various
attractions will be given in the Alma
High School auditorium, which does
not have as large a seating capacity
as the Strand theatre, where the Ly-
ceum numbers were held last winter.
The first number on the course is
"The Mollusc," a wonderful three-act
comedy, which is coming to Alma
with New York cast. This number
will be given on November Ii, so
those who plan on attending the Ly-
ceum course this year should avail
themselves Of the opportunity of Sc
curing their season tickets at the ear
licst possible moment.
Those who purchase season tickets
should not fail to have them reserved,
which can be done at the small add
ed cost of ten cents.

addition, the menace Of a country
wide railroad strike that would tie
up business almost completely, pro-
duction in all industries is being Sc
riously curtailed."
Trucks can be of very consider
able assistance in clearing up the
issue. Last year the total freight
carried by Motor Trucks was 1,200,-
100000 tons as compared with 2,504,-
100000 tons carried by railroads.
The truck industry can therefore re-
lieve the strain, if the strike should
come TO head"
"The Republic Truck Sales Cor
poration is meeting the situation in
the most practical method at it's dis
posal, namely, by reducing prices on
the whole line Of light, medium and
heavy Republic models to a level
making them the lowest truck prices
in America.

ciples will win because they are fair
and right and appeal to the con-
sciences as well as the intellects of
the wheat growers.
Few people would have believed
that such far reaching results could
have been attained in so short a
period of time from that little meet
ing of earnest men held at the
Davenport hotel in Spokane in Jan
uary 1920. The movement for the
cooperative marketing of wheat
which originated in that meeting
has now assumed national scope and
the fact that it was started by the
farmers of Washington and Idaho
Is but another proof that the North
west leads.

CHANCE FOR STUDENT TO TRY
EXPERIMENTAL FARMING

A letter has been received by
President Holland from the Interna-
tional Grenfell association asking for
the services of an advanced student
capable of conducting an expert
mental farm and supervising a dairy
in Newfoundland.
The work is in the nature of mis-
sionary work and the transportation
must be paid by the student. Board
and lodging would be furnished. The
association is anxious that the west
be represented in a project of this
kind and the letter stated that many
volunteers for the work were re.
ceived from eastern colleges, such as
Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Johns
Hopkins and many others.
The work will give fine opportuni-
ties for experimental farming at the
expense of the Grenfell association
and President Holland is anxious
that the matter be investigated by
students who may be interested.

Pullman, as a whole, might be said
to have been built to burn. Com

sentials for a conflagration, ancient

Nothing but natural circumstances
prevented a conflagration of large
proportions at this last fire For
tunately, the fire department was
able to do excellent work in confin-
ing the fire to one building, which
is all the best department could have
done. Had the fire been preceded
by a dry period, or the wind shifted
to another direction, It is highly
doubtful if all the fire fighting

averted a conflagration of large di-
mansions The sparks were carried
by the wind for a distance of several
thousand feet. Fortunately, the
single roofs were damp from rains
of that afternoon.
1t certainly behooves every citizen
of Pullman to examine the condition
of his premises, both business and
residential, looking for any possible
fire hazards that can be corrected.
II man lived on a desert island,
he might say that his fire hazard
was exclusively his own affair. Most
people do not live on desert islands,
yet they act as though they believed
that their own personal habits and
conditions of their premises con-
cerned no one except themselves.

Claude l.. Maylott, former student
OF the college and at present instruc-
tor at Bangkok Christian College,

need of teachers in the Orient.
He writes: "All reports say that
teachers are very scarce here. The
mission work in Siam is now need
ing Is teachers. both men and wo-
men, nine medical men, and a bust
ess man or accountant. The teach
ing work is of the ordinary type of

penses and a salary of $3.50 per year.

A WORTHY EFFORT

The organized effort which is be-
ing made in Pullman to increase the
attendance at the Sunday schools is
worthy of hearty commentator and
earnest support The study of the
Bible is being sadly neglected in the
United States today and the result
of this neglect is reflected in the
indifference to religion and church
going.
The only religious training which
many children now receive is in the
Sunday schools of the land and the
instruction given in these schools is
even more important than the les
sons taught in the public schools.
This fact is recognized even by many
non-churchgoing parents. While
they are Indifferent to religion
themselves they do not want their
children to grow up without a
knowledge of the Holy Scriptures
and the precepts therein expounded.
These precepts are the guide and in
spiration to right living and to the
right relationship of every human
being to the rest Of mankind, and up
on them are based the hope of inn
mortality.
No book has ever been written
which has approached the influence
which the Bible has exerted upon
the human race. A knowledge of
its teachings is an essential part of
any worth while education and
every boy and girl should be en-
couraged in every possible way to
attend the Sunday schools, where
this knowledge can best be acquired.
AS rule, the young people who are
not regular attendants of the Sun
day school do not grow up into
church going men and women.
THE child is father of the man"
and the Sunday school is the pre-
paratory school for church workers
and supporters.
There is encouragement and in
spiration in the knowledge that last
Sunday over thousand persons as
sembled in the several Sunday
schools of Pullman to study the
Bible. But it would have been even
more encouraging and inspiring
had those thousand persons been
assembled in one group to study the
scriptures in their application to
every day life, without any thought
of interpreting them to support any
particular creed or denomination.
1t is a fine idea for the various
churches to work together fn an
effort to increase the attendance at
the Sunday schools conducted by
each of them, but it would be a
finer idea if they would all join in
working for one big union school
in which the sole object would be
to teach the simple gospel of Jesus
Christ and Him crucified."

THE NORTHWEST LEADS

When Aaron Sapiro of San Fran
cisco conceived the idea of applying
the California cooperative market
ing system to the handling of wheat
he decided to first present the plan
to the farmers of the Pacific North
west, on the theory that they were
more progressive than the wheat
growers in other sections of the
country and would consequently
more readily grasp the possibilities
OF the system and give it a trial,
which would convince the producers
of the nation of its feasibility and
potential benefits. The little group
of men who assembled in Spokane
and worked out the details of the
plan and breathed the breath of life
into the Washington and Idaho
Wheat Growers Associations started
movement which now promises to
sweep over the United States like a
prairie fire and bring to this section
the credit of having started a revolu
ton which will overthrow the long
established system of marketing
wheat.
That the plan appeals strongly to
the wheat raisers is demonstrated
by the success of the associations in
Washington, Idaho. Oregon and
Montana in signing up some 49,
100000 bushels of this years crop.
The basic principles of the system
have been adopted by the grain
growers of Canada and have been in
corporated in the recommendation
OF the committee of II, appointed
by the American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON, which will be considered al
a meeting of representatives of all
the great farm organizations to be
held in Chicago next week. At this
meeting some plan for the co-opera-
tive marketing of wheat will doubt
less be ratified and recommended to
the producers of the United States.
Mr.. Sapiro will be there as one of
the representatives of the Washing
ton and Idaho Wheat Growers as
sociations and can be counted upon
TO see that whatever plan is adopt-
ed Will be based upon bona fide CO.

to be a terrible accident at this cross

| Another factor in the same situation is
| the tendency to ignore the outcome OF
government lawsuits because congress al
ways apprOpriates money for the pay
ment of judgments. Thus department
officer doesn't feel that the Judgment must
| be paid out of his own appropriation for
this year. Usually the lawsuits take
years to settle in the courts. Congress
has not insisted that any special sums be
| set aside by any department to meet
! judgments in the courts. Indeed, 1T has

department set aside 70 per cent of the
value of certain properties because 1T
thought that was fair price. The

wasn't enough. Congress has had to make

Not Question of Personnel.
| The usual thought of the average man
about government economy is to reduce
personnel. He imagines that the govern

indefinite powers of admin strative officers

suggested that congress meet the needs of
government agencies hereafter by def

that all receipts accruing to the United

Carpenters record, before the war, is

since the armistice, with a heavyweight

has engaged in fewer glove contests.
Jack Dempsey has fought 64 battles
and % resulted in victories for him. The

Nine times he has won on point decisions

The champion has fought four draw
