FnreUeU Sermon

Rev. Eward f. Shoufler delivered
the closing lecture in the series on
"The Christians Bible" at the Bap-
tist Church, Sunday morning, and in
that same lecture brought to a close
his pastoratc with that church.
The meeting was we'll attended
showing the increased interest that
there has been in this series Of
special addresses.
The subject Of the address Sunday
was "Do We Need Another Revela-
tion?" The speaker discussed the
various phases Of knowledge obtained
through Christian experience, which
confirm the Scriptural experiences Of
all ages and he made it very plain
that we Go not need a new revelation
today, hut that we do need a new
vision Of truth and revival Of Bible
study, and a committal Of individual
conservation to things religious.
He pointed out That Christianity
must influence the world at the point
where the truth touches life. Where
ever 1t is preached it will stir up
something, it will set certain forces
in motion that will create new or
der of things A man cannot be dis
honest in business, he indicated, dur
ing the week and expect crowds to be
drawn TO the place where he worships
on Sunday or to accept his preten-
sions at honesty in things religious.

Sends Donation A.
ter Losing Contract

Rev John A. Klich, pastor Of St.
Joseph Catholic church, made public
a letter, Sunday morning which he
had received during the week from
one Of the contractors who had made
a bid on the job Of building the new
church and who lost out on account
Of his bid being little too high.
The letter was from T. l.. Brough-
ton Of Alma, a building contractor
Of no small repute, and with it came
a check for $25 as first donation
for the new church, which is now in
course Of construction. Mr.. Brough-
ton, himself protestant, said he
wished TO make his donation in view
Of the fact that he held churches to
be character builders" and thought
it his duty to contribute toward their
original cost and maintenance.
Work on the church is at a stand
still owing to the non-arrival OF
several carloads Of lumber which
have been on the way for nearly
three months. Belding Banner News.

The monthly meeting Of the Alma
Civic Improvement League to be held
Friday afternoon at the home Of Mrs.
Francis King promises to be meet
ing Of rare interest TO the ladies of
Alma and the other cities who have
been invited TO attend, as it may be in
the nature Of a political meeting at
which the three principal candidates
for the Republican nomination for
congressman from the Eighth district
to succeed Joseph w. Fordney will bs
brought together for the first time,
and probably for the only time dur
ing the primary campaign.

however. No invitations have beon
extended to him to be on hand and
listen to his favorite candidate orats,

should be favored as the Republican
congressional candidate.
The invitations extended to the
candidates to speak before the ladies
makes it certain that they are taking
real interest in politics, and that
husbands are not to decide how they
will vote when they go to the polls.
They intend to check up the candi-
dates for themselves and then vote
just as they think they should vote.
The Alma Civic League, which is
holding the meeting, which is OF
course in the nature of a general
mass meeting for the ladies, has in
vited ladies from several other cities
TO be present and it is expected that
delegations may be on hand from
Saginaw, St Louis, Ithaca, st. Johns
and other cities.
1t will, undoubtedly, be the biggest
mass meeting political or otherwise,
TO he heid in the congressional dis
trict this year, and without single
doubt, it will be the most interest
ing, with three candidates speaking
before the ladies', each seeking the
favor of their votes.
lf the afternoon, Friday, is clear
and bright, the meeting is to be held
in the orchard at the King home,
where there VIII be plenty Of room

the past two months came TO fit
ing close Sunday evening with Rev.
c. IL. Hull's sermon, which proved a

A fine spirit was manifested all
during the services by those who
took part and as is also attested by
the increasingly large audianccs that

There is little question but what
these services will be continued dur

FROM BUSINESS
JOHN {. CHICK DISPOSES OF HIS
INTEREST IN ECONOMY
SHOE STORE.

Announcement that John G. Chick
had disposed Of his interest in the
Economy Shoe store Of this city, in
which he had been interested with
his father for period Of fourteen
years, which became public the first
Of the week, was greeted with sur
prise in the business section Of the
city, as it had not been anticipated
that he had contemplated withdraw
ing from the firm.
The deal, whereby Mr.. Chick dis
posed of his interest in the shoe bus
mess, was made Friday, Mrs. A. A.
Chick being the purchaser Of the in
terest of the junior member of the
firm Of A. A. g. j. c. Chick.
The Economy Shoe Store was
opened in Alma fourteen years ago
by A. A. Chick and his son, John c.,
and since that time they have de-
voted their efforts to building up the
business. Tusday, A. A. Chick, who
continues to hold his interest in the
Economy Shoe Store, stated that the
same policies would be followed by
the firm in the future as in the past
John c. Chick is undecided as to
his future and stated TO The Record
representative that in view Of present
business conditions he probably woulC
not again enter into business before
next spring, although there was q
possibility that he might go into busi-
ness before that time if a suitable
proposition turned up.
1t is understood that present bust
nses conditions had considerable TO dc
with the withdrawal Of John c. Chick
from the firm with which he had beer
associated for so many years.

SiIO Valuable in
Late Corn Season

In the event Of an early frost this
fall, farmers Of Michigan who are
able to store their corn ~ s.os will
fare much better than those who de-
pend upon curing it in the shock This
insurance against a partial loss Of
the corn crop, which was planted late
last spring, is one Of the most I'M
portant benefits Of the silo, according
TO Prof. George Brown Of the NJ. A.
G. animal husbandry department.
"The corn crop which fails to ma
ture is worth several times as much
in the form of silagc as it would be
as dry fodder" says Prof. Brown,
"and it can be kept in ideal condition
as feed for an indefinite period,
whereas immature corn rs grain has
little value after it is frozen and the
dry stalks are Of slight value after
midwnter Silage, on the other
hand, may be kept until pastures
fail the coming summer or held for
use Turing the fall and winter Of 10
23-24."
Many silos have been constructed
in the state within the last few years,
but there are still great numbers Of
farmers who fail TO realize its many
advantages. Others pointed out bJ
Prof. Brown are its economy, due to
the elimination Of waste Of forage
which results from weathering in the
field and from the fact that the
coarser parts Of the stalk arc not eat
en-; its efficiency as place Of stor
age; and its advantage in production
in allowing the farmer either to in
crease his livestock holdings or re
duce the cultivated acreage necessary
to maintain those already on hand

 Trade is still curiously irregular spotted is perhaps as good a word as any-and varying reports come fl Iom different sections of the country and lines of trade. Wholesale and jobbins trade still lacks definite form, ai- though the stirrings of spring buying are noted by jobberS at many north ern, eastern and west central markets, with optimistic sentiment showing more growth than does actual buying Features. of the week have been cut rate sales, run by central western job bers and eastern manufacturers Cf percales and some printed goods, with fair results, While the shipping de- partments of some large eastern job bers have run nights forwarding spring goods. Central and western trade sentiment has been quite fav- orably affected by the proportions of the rise shown since last autumn, and particularly since January l in gains and meat producing animals. Wheat is up nearly 40 per cent, corn 35 ger cent and hogs 20 per cent. Southern trade, however. lags despite an ad- vance of l cent pound on cotton from the slump point of January.
