Ask for Placement
on East DOUnie st,

A petition Of residents and proper
ty owners residing on East Downic
street between State street and Pine
avenue, was submitted to the city
commission Tuesday evening asking
for pavement on that street.
The petition was referred to the
city manager with instructions TO
prepare plans, specifications. and es-
t.ma,es Of the cost Of the work.
The expectation is that the cost Of
the work will be submitted sometime
during the present winter and that
the budget to be adopted early in
the spring will provide for the city's
share Of the work, which would be
very nominal in this case most of the
stree.s to be crossed by this pave
ment already having pavement, thus
doing away with any costs for cor
ners by the city, excepting on Gra-
tiot avenue.

ONE N EAST END AND SECOND
ONE IN WEST PART OF
THE CITY.

The fire department has been call
"a out twice during the present week
t9 fires, and fortunately in each case
ihe department was able TO extin-
guish the incipient blazes with only
small losses in each case. One of, the
fires was discovered in the house at
l1l3 Eastward street at an early
hour Tuesday morning and the other
took place Wednesday morning al
the house at 325 Lincoln avenue oc-
cupied by Carlyle ITawley.
The house at 1113 Eastward street
where the blaze occurred early Tues
Gay morning is at the present time
unoccuped, although some household
furniture was stored in one of the up
stairs rooms. 1t was in this room
that the fire was discovered. BY the
time that the department could reach
the scene the flames had gained a
good Roadway, but they were quickly
quelled and it is probable that the
less will not exceed $500.
The blaze at the residence of Carly
le Hawley caused loss that probably
will not reach $25000 It is believed
that this fire was started from an
overheated furnace, IS the fire ap-
parently started in the basement ard
worked IN through a partition to the
first floor of the house.

BROTHERHOOD
TO BANQUET
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OR
GANIZATION PLANNING FOR
FALLS ACTIVITIES.

The Presbyterian Brotherhood is
new laying plans for its fall and win
ter activities, the first feature being
a banquet that is to be held Armis-
tice day.
The banquet will begin promptly at
Gas O'Clock, and it has been announc-
ed that Judge Edward j. Monet of
St. Johns is to be the principal speak
er of the evening. Judge Moinet was
speaker before the Alma Chamber
of Commerce last spring and his ad-
dress wen him many new friends in
this city, and the members of the
Brotherhood who heard him at that
time will be delighted to have the
opportunity to hear him again. The
men are invited to bring their wives
or lady friends to the banquet.
The second function that the Broth
erhood will hold will be an attraction
Friday evening, December /, at which
time Professor Roy Immel Of the De-
pertinent of Public Speaking of the
University Of Michigan will present
"The Servant in the House" as a
reading.
After the Christmas holidays the
Brotherhood hopes to announce a
banquet at which President Marion
Leroy Burton of the University of
Michigan will speak. He has already
given encouragement to the belief
that he will be available at that time.

PAR-KAR COACH
BUSINESS SHOWS
GOOD INCREASE
NINETY MEN NOW ON THE PAY
ROLL OF THIS NEW IN
DUSTRIAL CONCERN.
Company Has Landed
AnOthr Big Order

Unless they have been watching
the developments very closely the
people Of St. Louis and Alma, who
are the most affected, have not a
good realization of the Importance to
the "Twin Cities" of the Par-Kar
Coach Company located in the Boil
strom plant, in st. Louis, and are pro-
badly not aware that this concern
which started operations less than
three months ago with less than 80
people on its payroll, is now employ
ing more than 80 and has every ex-
pectation Of soon being forced to add
still more men to It's working force.
The Par-Kar company has been
meeting with a success little short Of
wonderful with its new product, all
things considered, and indications are
that its highly promising business
will become greater during the COM
ing months
The company has been making de-
liveres on its large Grand Rapids or
der during the past few weeks and is
rapidly nearing the completion of this
order, which was a large one. The
order included both trucks and bus
jobs the greater part Of the latter al
ready having gone forward TO the
Michigan transportation Company.
This transportation company has the
Michigan rights for the use of the
Par Kar busses and expects to devel-
op large system through Michigan,
which will bring more and larger or
ders to the rapidly growing st. Louis
company.
A concern in Toronto operating a
number Of "rolling stores" is another
company that is taking most kindly
to the Par-Kar product and has in
creased an order with the st. Louis
concern to from ten to twenty-five
jobs, making an order of S137 800
The Toronto concern investigated the
product Of the new company closely
before placing the original order for
ten trucks and in increasing the order
to such an extent shows the faith that
it has in the Par-kar product.
With concern in the Twin Cities
of Gratiot county showing such pos
sibilities for success the people OF
the two cities should be solidly behind
the Par-Kar Coach Company and its

Kent Joins Dairy
Alfalfa Campaigns

Kent County will join the list of
state sections which are driving ac-
lively for better dairy standards,
when the special Dairy-Alfalfa cam
paign, under the auspices of the Mich
igan Agricultural College, starts in
the county on November 6, to run two
weeks.
Kent will be the second county to
take up the intensive campaign work
in the state this fall, Clinton County
just finishing a similar drive. Wash
tenaw will start two weeks series
on November 20, while Genesee, Ing
ham, and other sections will take up
the work later in the winter
The county series are part Of the
big campaign work being put on by
the college in the interests of more
efficient dairying and increased alfal-
fla acreage for Michigan.
Local, or so-called "barn-y yard"
meetings, which are held in every
section of each county by the teams
putting on the campaigns, are the
special features which mark the
Dairy Alfalfa campaigns. Every
farmer in the county is given a chance
to attend at least one of the demon
stratons without going more than
three or four miles from his own
farm. In Kent County, for instance,
rs of these local meetings are sched-
uled.
This type Of "direct contact cam
paign is something new in agricul-
tural extension work, and is proving
so effective that striking results are
apparent in the countries covered inn
mediately following the campaigns.

international Egg
Contest at N. A. &.

With pens entered from several for.
eign countries, as well as from many
of the states in America. the first
Michigan Agricultural College Inter-
national Egg Laying Contest got un-
der way at East Lansing this week.
The contest will run from Nov. /,
1922, until Nov. !, 1928.
Some of the most famous poultry
breeders in the world have entered
their best stock for the competition,
according to Prof. f. c. Foreman,
head Of the NJ. A. c. poultry depart
ment, who is in charge of the con-
test. The result is that high records
are expected to be made during the
event, which will be one of the big
gest of its kind ever held.
One hundred pens, all told, are en-
tered, with birds from most of the
popular breeds represented. Included
in the list of breeds are: Leghorns,
Rocks, Reds, Wyandottes, Orpingtons
and others.
Six new poultry houses, construct
ed at the college for the express pur-
pose of housing the contest entries,
were completed last week in time for
the incoming birds.
Laying contests are popular now
in all sections of the country and are
the only medium the utility poultry
man has for getting official records
on his stock" says Professor Fore

lens, such as the amount of food re-
quired by the various breeds and va
rieties, the number of eggs produced
the seasonal distribution, costs of
production, and all other facts in
volved in poultry economics.
"The prospective poultryman will
also have an opportunity to study
poultry characteristics before making
final decision on the breed he intends
to carry for commercial purposes.
