STORES IN ONE PLACE.

Clarence Hanley, we'll known Alma

ago purchased Coryell Electric Shop
from Lewis Hudson, has purchased
the retail end of the Medler Electric
Company business and has consoli-
dated the two electrical shops at the
location of the Meder Electrical
Company on East Superior street.
Mr. Ilanley has been in the electric
al business in this city for some
years. entering the business about the
time that Mr. Medler did, the two be
ing associated at that time under the
firm name of Medler & Hanley.
Soon after Mr.. Hanley withdrew
from the firm and since that time
has been engaged in both the retail
business and in the contracting end
Of the business at different periods.
About month ago he again enter
in Alma, when he purchased the Cor
yell Electrical Company store from
Lewis Hudson. Last week deal was
consumated, whereby he purchased
the retail end of the business conduct
ed by the Medler Electrical Company
and Monday the two retail stores
were consolidated.
He will not only conduct the retail
store, but will also do wiring and re-
pair work.
Mr. w. w. Meder and his two sons,
who were associated with him in the
Medler Electric Company, will con-
tinue in the electric business, but in
the future will devote their entire time
to the contracting end of the business.
Mr. Medler and his sons at the
present time have number of cleo
tric contracts which are requiring
their full time.

Mr.. w. A. Borton has been investi-
eating the Hudson Essex proposition

enthusiastic about both makes. He
looks for substantial business from

that they have unusual financial
strength. | went most carefully into
the entire matter, including construc-

manship of the two cars, and am
confident that no other cars offer as
much for the price asked as the Hud-
son Super-Six or the Essex. | feel
fortunate in being selected as their
representative for this territory.
while in Detroit was shown a
number of letters sent in by Hud-
son and Essex owners which certain

economy, ease of handling and COM
fort which the construction and en-
gineerig principles of the Hudson and
Essex make possible.

experienced in years.

1t was the desire of Mr.. Ellison
in moving the Sport Shop to acquire
larger quarters, which We're badly
needed in the business, which had
been showing a good growth, par
ticularly in the tire and repair end of
the business.
The firm, as in the former loca-

all kinds of fishing tackle, ammuni-
tion and all of the other things that
the sportman loves and needs.
Mr.. Ellison also announces that in
connection with the new place free

Girl Knocked From
Track Into Ditch

Maude, the charming little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Cole, living
on Grafton avenue, could not cee-
brate the glorious Fourth along with
the other children, and neither could
she celebrate her second birthday as
do most little kiddes of that age
Little Maude was struck by an Ann
Arbor passenger train, southbound,
Monday morning, at the Grafton ave.
crossing and is in an Alma hospital
recovering from the injuries that she
sustained. Maude's birthday happens
to fall on the same day that all Amer
leans celebrate as the nations birth
day.
Little Maude, whose home is only
a short distance from the railroad
crossing on Grafton avenue, had gone
down the street just short distance
Monday morning, and when the south
bound Ann Arbor train left the depot
Maude was in the immediate vicinity
Of the track. Maude continued to
VAIN lOWdl uo lIlI tidth, All uil-
suspecting Of the danger that might
lie ahead.
Reaching the railroad track Maude
stepped into the danger zone, just
after the train had started to cross
Ely street, and it was almost upon
her before the little tot was seen by
the engineer Of the train, which was
then starting to slow down to take
water and coal. Quickly he sensed
the danger, threw on the brakes and
brought the train to a stop as quickly
as possible. 1t could not be stopped
in time to save an accident, but its
speed was cut down to a great extent,
and as the engine reached little
Maude, she was thrown to one side
into the ditch, lightly compared with
the way she would have been thrown
had not the engineeer seen the little
tot.
Her head was cut and she was 9TH
erwise injured, but the presence Of
mind of the Ann Arbor engineer had
averted a fatal accident. The little
girl was rushed to a local hospital,
where she is receiving medical atten-
tion. Soon she will be able TO return
home again, a happy frolicking little
girl, little realizing the danger that
she has gone through.

4. Il. Death Rate
Falling Rapidly

Lansing, July Ga report of the
United States Public Health Service
furnishes interesting figures Of the
death rate, from various causes, pre-
vailing in 1910 and 1920 in the United
States.
In 1910 the general death rate from
all causes was 14.9 among each 1000
inhabitants Of the country, whereas
in 1920 it was reduced to 13.l-a de
crease of 13 percent.
In the same years, the tuberculosis
death rate from all forms of the di-
sease, for the entire country, was 100
in 1910 and ia in 1920, for each 100,-
600 population. These mortality fig
ures indicate a decrease Of % percent.
tuberculosis has therefore been re-
duced more than twice as fast as the
general death rate during the years
under study.
There's reason" as certain
popular advertisement would put it.
The reason is that the general pub
lie has become Interested in tubercu-
losis to much greater extent than
it has in the prevention of other di-
seases. The public is making tuber-
culosis its own problem, not leaving
it to physicians alone.
And the moral of the figures cited
by the United States Public Health
Service, according to the Michigan
tuberculosis Association, is that now
is the time to increase the efforts
against this disease. If the efforts of
the public are followed by such good
results then they should be kept up
so that by 1880 the reduction in the
death rate will be still greater. The
tuberculosis death rate can be cut in
half during that time if the public
will give their earnest attention to it.

In Lansing and Central Michigan
are hundreds of horse fanciers, many
of whom have been in touch with the
manager of the fair regarding the
racing and show cards. There will
be races daily, attractive purses hav-
ing been arranged. The Hotel Kerns
has made a very liberal donation to-
ward $1,000 pacing race purse and
other firms have expressed a willing
ness to donate toward them. A large
barn and stablemen's quarters have
been erected on the grounds and fast
horses soon will be receiving daily
workouts on the half mile track. This
track is of regulation size and few
weeks ago was the scene of some fast
automobile races, the drivers express
ing themselves well pleased with the
straightways and turns.
There will be a showing Of the best

GYMN CONTRACT
LET ON MONDAY
OWEN, AMES 4 KIMBALL OF
GRAND RAPIDS GET THIS
AND OTHER WORK.

At a meeting of the building COM
mittee of the Board of Trustees of
Alma College, held Monday, the con-
tract for the new memorial gym
nasium- auditorium was let to the
firm of Owen, Ames & Kimball of
Grand Rapids, one of the large con-
struction firms of that city, which
now has the contracts for large no
tells in that city, which total over
two and half million dollars of con-
struction work.
Two other matters pertaining to
building were also taken up by the
building committee Monday One of
those has to do with the completion
of the remodeling of the old gymna-
sium into modern chemistry build
ing. The first floor of this structure
was remodeled last summer and a
greater part of the chemistry de
partment was moved into the new
quarters last fall This summer the
second floor Of the structure, which
was formerly used as the gymnasium,
will be remodeled and the entire
chemistry department of the college
will soon be located in this structure.
The matter of completing the rooms
on the fourth floor of Wright Hall,
on the Cedar avenue side of the
building was also taken up, but no
final decision was arrived at This
wing of the fourth floor of Wright
hall was never completed, and the
growth of the college is such that
the room is now needed. About ten
rooms can be secured by finishing up
this wing of the fourth floor. The
architects are preparing plans for the
work, and a decision will probably be
made when these are ready.
Mr.. Ames Of the Grand Rapids
firm is to have charge of the build
ing operations in connection with the
new gymnasium. He is expected to
arrive here within a few days, and
operations will be started just as
quickly as possible Expectations
are that the new structure will be
ready for use late in the fall Every
hope is held that it will be available
for the beginning of basket ball prac-
tice Immediately after the Thanks
giving vacation.
Members of the building commit
who were at the meeting were w.
w. Tanner of Saginaw, w. o. Hug
hart of Grand Rapids and Francis
King and Mrs. w. A. Bahlke Of Alma.

PASTOR TENDERS
HIS RES|GNAT ION
REV. EDWARD +. SHOULDER
WILL COMPLETE PASTORATE
ABOUT SEPTEMBER FIRST.

Rev. Edward f. Shoulder, pastor Of
the First Baptist Church, has resign
ed and will bring his work to close
here about September /, according
to his present plans. The church
board has not yet acted on the res
ignation, which Rev Shoufier has
presented, but he says that the de
cison that he has arrived at is final.
In this church the pastor serves
three months notice, which was re-
Gently rendered by Rev Shoulder.
1t has been known among his
friends that Rev. Shoulder has re
ceived calls to other churches and has
been offered larger salaries at var
ious times during his pastorate in
Alma. In fact, he made proposition
to come to the local church and be-
fore it was accepted had been ten
dered an offer that carried $40O
larger salary. 1t is understood that
it has been a somewhat difficult mat
ter for the congregation TO raise
even the present salary, which IS
said to be about fifty per cent more
than the church had ever paid.
Mr.. Shoulder has had a large and
broad experience, going from the
teaching profession to the ministry
soon after the close of the Spanish
American war, in which he served.
In connection with his work in the
ministry he has rendered valuable
service in filling lecture course num-
bers, chautauqua dates, and has
during this time written for maga-
zines, daily papers and religious pc
riodicals. He is at present member
of the American Literary Associa-
tion
One of the earliest and most sue
cessful pastorates was at Ottawa
Kansas, seat of Ottawa University
During his senior year in the uni
versity he worked under the direction
of Dr. Edward Judson, in connection
with the Judson Memorial Church of
New York City. Following this he
held important pastorates in New
York and Indiana.
During his pastorate at the local
church many changes have taken
place for the good Of the church, and
no doubt will be of benefit to the
church for years to come. The con-
gregation has been increased by
baptism about twenty per cent of the
resident membership; the amount
paid for missions has been about
three times greater than that raised
in any previous period of the church's
history. Every department of the
church has correspondingly increased

ANNUAL BUDGET
WILL CALL FOR
ONLY S113,0l5
TO ELECT TWO BOARD MEM
BERS AND VOTE ON PUR-
CHASE OF PROPERTY.
School Meeting
is Monday Night

The annual meeting of the Alma
school district, fractional Arcadia and
Pine River, will be held Monday
evening, July 10, in the high school
auditorium, at which time the voters
of the district will be asked to elect
members of the school board to sue
oeed William w. Medler and Carl
H. Washburn, whose terms expire at
that time, to approve the proposed
budget of the district and 10 pass
upon proposition to purchase l8
lots in Elmwood addition to the city
of Alma, to be made playground
and park at Republic school.
The budget that will be proposed
by the school board for the approval
of the voters of the district is small
er than that of year ago by over
S3,500.00 and this in spite of the
fact that the salaries Of the various
teachers of the Alma Public Schools
have not been decreased. The pro-
posed budget calls Tor $ll3,0l5 as
compared with the budget of $l16,-
1876 passed by the voters of the dis
trict last year. Some of the reasons
for the decrease in the budget are
said to be the fact that the interest
on bonds this coming year shows a
good decrease over last year, and the
fact that not as large sum is pro-
vided for books this coming year as
last year.
The school board will offer for
consideration the matter of the pur-
chase Of eighteen lots-Nos. S8, SO,
81, 92, SO, 81, SO, SO, 100, 1O1, lO2,
1913, 104, 105, LOG, l07 and lOS of
Elmwood Park addition to the city
of Alma, at the Monday evening
meeting, at a cost of $500 each. The
plan of the board and others inter-
ested in the matter is TO not only
round out the grounds at Republic
and playground on the east side. 1t
will be up to the voters to decide
whether or not they desire TO pur-
chase the lots.
The terms of William w. Medler
and Carl II. Wsshburn as members
of the school board expire with the
Monday evening meeting, and the
voters will be asked to name their
successors. Mr.. Washburn was ap-
pointed member of the school
board about year ago to succeed
Fred Slater, when he moved from
the district. So far as known both
of these men are candidates for re-
election to the board, but neither is
making the slightest effort to make
certain that they will be returned,
being in the nature of receptive
candidates. Whether or not any op-
position to their selection will de-
velop is not known. SO far there has
not been the slightest intimation that
any candidate may oppose them for
a place on the board, and present ex-
pectation is that both men will be re-
elected Monday evening.

MOre Picric Acid
Coming to State

A second big allotment of picric
acid, totaling 1,250,000 pounds this
time, has been granted to Michigan
farmers for land clearing work, ac-
cording TO announcement of l.. f.
Livingston, land clearing specialist of
the Michigan Agricultural College.
The explosive will be delivered to
farmers of the state in car lots,
county agricultural agents pooling
orders from their districts under the
direction Of Mr.. Livingston, who is
in charge Of the distribution.
The picric acid is distributed by
the u. S. Department of Agriculture,
Bureau of Public Roads.
A large assignment of the explos-
i've several months ago proved made
quate to meet demands for stump
blasting material.
Our experience with picric acid
last fall and this spring has shown
that this explosive is beyond a doubt
suitable for land clearing work." says
Livingston. "a thousand pounds is
the maximum which can be allotted
any one farmer. The cost will be
seven cents a pound, f. o. b. Ft. Win
gate, New Mexico, where it is to be
cartridged, plus the freight rate to
the consumer"
Addition of hundreds of acres of
land to Michigan's total will result
from the picric acid shipments. The
explosive, while effective, is compar-
atively cheap, and will make possible
land clearing operations which could
not otherwise be attempted.
