Churches Cooperate
In Making An Appeal

On Sunday afternoon workers from
the various churches Of Alma will Wis
it every home in the city and invite
the persons there found to church.
Only one-third Of our population is
found in one Sunday within the va
rious churches Of the place. We should
think it a great calamity if only
33 ! 5 per cent of our children were
in school during the week, yet the
church as an institution ranks right
along with the school in Importance
to the life of the land. Many careful
thinkers name the church as first
among all institutions, inasmuch as
the school is its child, and even the
home, an institution which preceded
it in point Of time, is given its char
actcr by what the church teaches. The
fact is that any community in which
two-thirds of its citizens are without
the stimulus toward right things
which the church gives is in more
deplorable condition than men realize.
1t is common condition so we are
blind to It's fautiness, but in the day
of our Lord 1922 it ought not to be
! tolerated.
One reason why so many persons
are not lined up definitely with the
local churches may be laid to the UNI
certainty of their plans. Many per-
sons come here, as to other cities, and
do not know how long they are likely
to remain. Instead of bringing church
letters from their various homes
where they have been interested work
crs, they delay action thinking few
months will make clear what their
course viii be- Months pass and often
years and they are still uncertain. In
the meantime they have had no church
home, have eXerted small influence for
Christ in this community and are well
nigh lost 20 the Masters cause. Their
home churches, not wishing to cum
her their rolls with unnecessary names
put them on. a reserve or retired list.
This is what is commonly called leav-
ing the church by the back door. Hun
dreds Of persons enter the various
churches by the front door Chat is
by Joining every year, but so many
regularly go out by the back door, the
actual driving force Of the church all
over the country is not augmented to
the degree it should be. This is only
one reason for our unchurched con-
dition. Many others may be given.
Every pastor in Alma is attempting
to correct a condition such as this all
the time. Once year just prior to
Easter all the congregations combine
to tackle the problem together. This

SHORT SELLS GROCERY

{. l.. Short, who has conducted the
cash and carry grocery on South
Gratiot for the past two years, has
sold this grocery to Perry d Son, who
have already taken possession of the
business and who will continue to
conduct it under the cash and carry
plan.
Mr.. Perry has been in the employ
of the farmer management for some
time and is thoroughly familiar with
the business. which he has purchased
and believes that it offers some good
possibilities, as he feels certain that
the people of the community as a
whole like the cash and carry plan,
which permits of lower prices on
goods because of the decreased over
head.
Mr.. Short, the retiring proprietor
will continue to operate the grocery
which he has on River avenue and
also the one that he owns in st.

STYLE SHOW PLEASING

The ID. w. Robinson stores style
show held at the Strand theatcr Tues
day and Wednesday evenings attract
ed wide attention and certainly has
drawn a great deal of very favorable
comment from those who attended
the event.
The various dresses, suits, spring
coats and charming spring hats were
shown during the style show, living
models being used on the Stage at
the theater in order that the various
designs might be shown just as they
would be worn, giving the ladies Of
this vicinity every opportunity to OBJ
serve the neat way in which they
could be worn, and just how attract
i've they were. The use Of the living
models permitted a much better dis
play of the spring goods than any
other method would have done.

DETERMINE FLOW BY TEST

BY test of the various city wells
City Manager Reynolds has determin-
cd the direction Of the flow of the
strata of water from which the city
wells are pumping, the flow being
from the southwest to the northeast.
This is indicated by the fact that
when the west wells are being pumped
the head of water in the east wells
drops, and the tests also indicate that
the west and north wells are more
nearly in the center Of the water vein
than the south and east wells, which
give a smaller flow than the others.
The tests also indicate that the
amount of water is limited, because

The autopsy was performed following an assertion of , Mrs. Schlatter who arrived here from Kansas City, Mo-, last night, that she i he,ieved that her husband had been a victim of foul play.

 1 Mrs. Schlatter said her husband had contemplated becoming a member of the Episcopal church and this met with opposition by certain persons of spiritualistic faith,
 | Mrs Schlatter today emphatically denied that her husband was the man who was convicted in 1917 in Los An geles of using the mails to defraud in connection with selling by mail bless ed handkerchiefs to persons seeking relief from illness.
 Sha daclarad the man was Ona of the numerous imposters who took ad- vantage of the divine healer's popu- Iarity and initiated him so far as even to assume his name.
