CONFER DEGREE
UPON JOHNSON
FORMER MISSIONARY GIVEN
HONOR AT SPECIAL CON.
VOCATION THURSDAY.

At special chapel service held
Thursday morning the degree Of
Doctor of Divinity was conferred on
the Reverend Weston +. Johnson.
The ceremony was performed by
President Crooks and DR.. Ewing, and
was closed by singing the college
song. DR.. johnson is an alumnus OF
Alma College having been graduated
from the academy in 1895 and the
college in 1899. After his gradu-
alton from Princeton Theological
Seminary in 1902, he went to Japan
where he worked as a missionary for
sixteen years. At present he is
Secretary Of the Presbyterian Board
Of Foreign Missions for the Pacific
Coast Region. DR.. Johnson was to
have received the degree last June,
but owing to the fact that he was un-
able to leave his work the honor had
to be deferred until the present time
when he received it after a journey
Of two thousand miles.
In Q forceful talk at the regular
chapel service, DR.. Johnson emphasi-
zed the need for people with inter-
national minds. The true Christian
cannot be provincial; he cannot seek
to become bound up in the affairs
directly around him. The conditions
in the whole world demand his atten-
ton just as much as those in his i'm
mediate vicinity. Jesus had an inter
national mind, and he was crucified
because he refused TO become a pro-
vincialist and head the Jewish nation
Jesus realized that the Christian re-
ligion must be all embracing, and he
made no provision for nationalism OF
any other narrow view of human wei
fare or suffering. The world can
not live half Christian and hall
pagan; it will become either one OF
the other.
! The call, he concluded, is to the
red blooded men Of energy and ac-
ton. The Christian religion must
be preached in every nook and cor.
ner Of the world. The suffering OF
the more unfortunate countries mus,
be alleviated az surely as though j,
were in our own country, and the best
Of missionaries are needed to carry
out this work. The field is great
the workers limited, and the need i'm
perative.

WILL CONSTRUCT
NEW WATERMA|NS
CITY ALSO PLANS TO CON-
STRUCT STORM DRAINS DUR
ING COMING SUMMER.

Some extensive changes are being
planned in the watermains and the
drainage of the city during the COM
ing year, the former making for bet
ter water service in the city and bet
ter fire protection and the latter hav-
ing for its purpose the carrying off
of storm water, so as not to flood the
sewers in the business section of the
city, during periods Of heavy storms.
A six inch water line has already
been laid on West Downie street from
Prospect to Park avenue in view of
the coming pavement on that street
A six inch water line is also to be
laid on East Downie street from Pine
TO State streets.
On Hastings street four inch
waterline is TO be laid from Pine to
State streets.
A inch drain is to be constructed
on East Downie street from State
street east to the river, which will re-
lieve the sewers on State street and
the buildings on the north side of Su-
perior street, east from State, from
storm water.
On the south side of Superior, east
from State, a new dram is to be con-
structed which will empty into the
race, which will have for it's object
the taking Of storm water from the
sewers and stores on the South side
Of Superior street.
One other storm drain is also to be
constructed, this on West Downie
from State to Park and then down
Park avenue, emptying into the Kress
Drain, which will aid in carrying of
the storm water from this portion
Of the business section.
1t is expected that this work will
all be done during the present sum-
mer, and greater part of it will be
put under way in the very near
future.

PLAN UNWILLING
Of. NEW MONUMENT
WRIGHT MONUMENT TO BE UN-
YELLED MEMORIAL DAY,
MAY 80.

Wright monument, being erected in
Wright Park TO the memory of the
late Ammi w. Wright, distinguished
citizen of Alma, and philanthropist,
whose name will be recalled in this
city as long as it continues as COM
munity, will be unveiled on Memorial
Day, May 80, according to present
plans, a time at which it would be
fitting to remember the staunch
hearted citizen who worked such
wonders for the betterment of the
city during its earlier days.
At the present time there is every
expectation that the monument to
Alma's benefactor will be completed
in Wright Park before Memorial Day
and as a result the city officials are
planning for the unveiling of the
monument on that day as a part of
the memorial exercises that will be
held in this city. The tablet to be
placed on the monument is expected
to reach Alma on May %.
The monument is being construct
ed of granite field stone of various
colors and will be about five feet
square at the base and about ten feet
in height. Lights are to be placed
on each side of the monument, which
is also to be provided with drinking
fountains. A suitable bronze tablet,
with an inscription relative to the late
benefactor, will be placed on one side.

Work of the Red
Cross Progressing

At the regional conference of the
American Red Cross held at Flint
last week, the Peace Time work of
the Red Cross was discussed Repre-
sentatives of Chapters from 20 coun-
ties in central eastern Michigan were
i'm attendance and gave reports Of the
splendid work being done by the Red
Cross, and many helpful suggestions
toward making the organization Of
increasing service to the community
The work Of caring for the disabled
ex-service men, Public Health Work,
and service in time Of disaster are the
three leading activities although
many chapters are doing production
work for the poor and for over seas,
and the larger chapters have organ
lied Motor Corps for giving poor
people, or shut-ins who need the air,
auto rides. So long as there are ex-
service men who need assistance, so
long as there is poverty, so long as
fires, floods, and cyclones devastate
the country, there will be need for
the Red Cross.
The delegates from Gratiot County
Chapter were pleased to note that the
work in this county in activities un-
dertaken by the Chapter is being con-
Quoted as satisfactorily as in any
county represented at the meeting.
Mrs. Nina Harrington, of Ithaca, has
charge of the work Of the ex-servce
men of Gratiot county, and all claims
are given prompt attention and fol-
lowed up to a final adjustment. The
Public Health work that is being con-
Quoted in the county by Miss Acker-
man, was outlined in a most inter-
esting manner by Mrs. II. f. Colwell.
The Lake, and Atlantic Divisions Of
the National Organization are to be
discontinued. Chapters Of Michigan
are to be transferred to the Central
Division, May 18th, with headquar-
ters at Chicago, while the work Of
other states formerly included in
these two Divisions will be directed
from National Headquarters at Wash
ington, ID. c.

Alma Takes the
Scalp of Ithaca

Alma High maintained her stride
in the Central Michigan race Fri
day by taking Ithaca High into
camp at the County Seat by Ia to
8 score, taking a lead right at the
start of the contest which was never
headed by the Ithaca aggregation Of
ball tossers.
Dicke and Wagner inauguratcd the
ball game by cracking out homers as
they came to bat, the first two men
to face the Ithaca hurler in the game.
Wagner was out on his power,
however, for cutting second base.
Just to show that it could be done
properly, the little second sacker,
stepped into one the next time that
he came to bat and shot out another
on which he made the rounds Of the
sacks before the ball came to the
infield.
Alma had no trouble in solving the
delivery of the Ithaca hurlers as the
81 hits that Alma secured will
show.
Chaffin pitched the best brand of
ball that he has shown this season
from the standpoint Of control, walk
ing only one man during the entire
nine innings Of the contest. He al
lowed nine hits, which coupled with
few errors, which came easily on
the rough diamond, the Ithacans were
able to cross the plate on eight oc.
casions.
Burt in center field and Strong al
first base played stellar fielding
games for the Alma team.

LIFE PRESERVERS
ON ALL BRIDG ES
IN CITY OF ALMA

During the past week life pre-
servers have been placed at handy
spots on all bridges crossing over
Pine river in the City of Alma,
and will be quickly available in
the future should there be any
occasion to use them. Each of
the life preservers is equipped
with about 100 feet Of rope, SO
that if called into use, they may
easily be pulled to the shore. 1t
is possible that there may be a
time in the future when drownings
may possibly be avoided by the
use of these preservers which will
furnish quick means Of giving
aid.
