RAY BATTERIES
Shreeve & Buccanning Represent
New Battery in Alma.


The firm of Shreeve & Buccanning
have been appointed to represent the
Ray Battery Company, of Ypsilanti,
Michigan. Ray Batteries, made fam
Gus by their 'Lavier Formula Plates
are already stocked for immediate
installation in practically every make
Of car.
This new service station becomes
a part of National organization in
stituted by the Ray Battery Com
pany to render extraordinary bat
terry service. The foundation of the
policy of this organization of serv-
ice stations is a battery made espe-
cially for, and sold only for, replace
ment purposes, combining the manu-
featuring to one field and one policy.
AS evidence of high quality. the
factory presents a two-ycar guaran-
tee to each customer. This guaran-
tee, which becomes effective the date
the battery is sold, is unconditional.
which means that if the battery fails
to function properly at any time
within two years from date Of sale
by the service station, a new battery
is given free. There are no adjust
ment clauses whatever Thus the
purchaser knows he will have no re-
pair charges for two years, unless he
allows his battery to freeze, damages
il in an accident, or allows it to run
down so that it needs recharging.

QUALITY CREAM
McCracken, Swift's LEGAL Manager.
Tells of Efforts in This Regard.

United efforts for the improve
nent Of the quality of American but
er by producers, manufacturers and
dairy experts are necessary at the
present time in view Of the foreign
competition which the industry is
'acing. This is the belief of Mr.. II.
9. Cracker, manager of Swift & Co.
At Alma. Not only should the farmer
and manufacturer cooperate to i'm
prove the product, according to Mr.
McCracken, but aid should be obtain

VI. A. c. and the dairy extension de-
oartment, as well as from the farm
advisers Of the various counties.

Bureau Of Markets, quoted the Chi

MAKING SURVEY
Insurance Agent Here Aiding il
Nationwide Survey.

Stephen L. Bennett, agent in Alma
for the Fidelity and Deposit Com.
pany of Maryland, is conducting q
survey Of economy conditions in this
territory in behalf of his organiza-
ton.
This survey is being undertaken
simultaneously in more than one
thousand American cities and towns
The information gathered here and
in other localities will be telegraphed
TO the home office in Baltimore to
be analysed and tabulated, and when
made public will give a picture Of the
National situation. The question
naires drawn up by the company and
used by its representatives will be
answered by March %.
Last September this company in
stituted similar inquiry, which
aroused public interest in every city
and state because it gave reliable
answer to the question, "How does
this country stand?" Many Nation
al publications as well as all the lead
ing newspapers discussed this sur
vey, which predicted the results Of
the Presidential election most accur
ately. Industrial, agricultural, and
financial conditions, as well as poit-
ical, were reported impartially, the
press agreed last fall.
Following the lines of the first
survey, the F e. ID men are finding
out whether industry is getting back
into its stride and how far the pub
lie has resumed its buying. They
are questioning the bankers, mer-
chants and other key men of their
communities about the trend of liv-
ing costs, the building programme,
and the extensiveness of strikes, un-
employment and failures. In the cen
tiers which draw their wealth from
the soil, they are studying conditions
on the farm and the movement from
rural to city districts.

Of the United States is now being
supplied, not only with the butter
made in the United States, but with
butter imported from Canada, New
Zealand, Australia, Argentine and
Denmark.
"There was considerable prejudice
against Danish butter when it first
made its appearance on our market
in large volume last year, but the
superior quality of this product has
won for it an enviable position in
the butter markets of this country
This is not due so much TO the better
methods of manufacturing, but rath-
err to the fact that greater attention
is given to the care of the milk and
cream on the farm. 1t is surprising
TO know that butter can be manufac-
tured in Denmark and delivered in
New York three or four weeks later
and be of uniformly better quality
than the bulk of the butter manufac-
tured in the United States.
"The higher markets which have
recently prevailed in the United
States will attract more Danish but
ter. The S. S. Hellinglav reported
sailing from Denmark February %
with lilo packages will arrive in
New York about March 7th. 1t is
expected that this butter will find
a ready sale at satisfactory price
Cooperative methods to improve the
quality of our American butter
should be taken up at once"

"Ruddigore," New York's
Biggest Musical Hit, Com
ing Thursday, March "a

"Ruddigore' may be best described
as a rollicking comic opera burlesque
on the absurdities of melodrama and
their stereotyped heroes and heroines,
villains and villainesses. Theatergoers
OF Pueblo may look forward to Sec
ing that greatest of all comic opera
vulsed New Workers last season for
| month after month.
Laughter of all kinds from the gen.
| tie smile to an uproar of merriment
| is the reward OF every performance of
l"Ruddigore." Its side-splitting foolery
provides laughter all the way thru
every act and every scene. Gilbert
and Sullivan outdid themselves in the
making OF this comic opera, and Gil
bert himself never invented better
plot. wrote more delicious lyrics and
gave voice to such humor as ex-
pressed in the appearances and words
| OF his characters. And the tunes
| well, they are Sir Arthur Sullivan at
his very best, and that means a great
deal.
AS "Ruddigore" will be brought TO
| this scity at the City Auditorium on
Thursday, March "a, IL will have the
advantages OF beautiful stage settings,
| picturesque costumes and a cast OF
superlative excellence. There will also
be many astounding electrical effects,
and the chorus especially in the
bridesmaids and family portraits
scenes will be remarkably effective.
In a word, "Ruddigore'' Is the clev-
crest and funniest operatic burlesqus
on dramatic characters that has ever
been written and acted and sung.
