Camp Roosevelt
Has Been MOUed

Camp Roosevelt, the national edu-
cational training camp for boys under
the jurisdiction of the Chicago Board
Of Education, will move to its perma-
nent campsite near LaPorte, Indiana
This brings the camp within sixty
five miles of Chicago. The site was
used as a boys school, and a splendid
gymnasium, mess hall seating one
thousand, modern sewage system,
large hospital, classroom buildings,
bungalows, and recreation rooms will
add materially to the comfort and be-
ing of the boys who attend.
The camp will open on July 5, and
continue for period Of six weeks, in
stead of eight as heretofore. The sea-
son will be divided into two periods
of three weeks each. Boys may en-
roll for either one or both of these
periods. The Summer School, the
Military Division, and the Junior
Camp will provide for the differing
requirements of boys Of various ages.
Because Of the splendid facilities
which the new campsite offers, it is
anticipated that many Improvements
and additions to the camp program
will be effected. The Camp Roosevelt
Association is decidedly optimistic
about the 1922 camp outlook.
The Chicago Headquarters has
changed its location to Room SOB, 400
South State street, the new home of
the Education Division of the Board
Of Education. Major F. l.. Beals
makes this public announcement
through the press for the information
of the many people who are already
seeking information for the summer.

In 1873 Mr.. and Mrs. Fuller moved
to Missaukee county, Michigan, where
they resided for seven years, moving
from there to Cadillac, where Mrs.
Fuller united with the NJ. +. church
in which she has since been a very
faithful worker. Her husband pre-
ceded her in death in 1894, his death
being caused by sunstroke. He is
buried at Conklin.
For the past twelve years Mrs. Full
Ter had been a resident of this city,
making her home with her son, Err
nest. During the time that she has
been in this city she had made a wide
circle of friends.

SUNSHINE K|DD|ES
ARE COMING HERE
A CLEAN CUT AND HIGH GRADE
ENTERTAINMENT TO APPEAR
AT THE STRAND.

With the appearance at the Strand
theatre Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
of the Sunshine Kiddies of Melody
Land, an attraction comes to Alma
that is far out Of the ordinary and one
which has been creating a stir in the
larger cities of the state, Detroit,
Lansing, Kalamazoo and others. 1t
seems fortunate indeed that Alma
theatre goers are again to have the
opportunity Of seeing an attraction
here that usually is seen only in the
bigger cities Of the state.
For three days this coming week
back stage at the Strand will be a
large family, as that is about what
this assembly of twelve spritely young
children is, who form the Sunshine
Kiddie group.
There are eight families, however,
represented by the talented young
sters who are to appear here, and
three mothers are in charge as chap
erons, stage directors and all-around
guardians. Just one man accompanies
the Sunshine Riddles, F. f. Munro,
the manager, whom the kiddies call
Daddy There is also a tutoress
with the apt name of Charlotte Teach
man, appointed by the Michigan board
of education to look after the school
ing and educational welfare of the
youngsters.
The little tots are unusually well
behaved and know their songs and
dance cues like veterans. Each child
has from three TO six changes to
make and there is always a busy time
behind the scenes.
Not only is there a busy time be-
hind the scenes, but in front of the
stage there is always a highly appre.
ciative audience as these kiddies Ger.
tainly know their work like veterans
and are constantly surprising their
audiences with their entertainments
The appearance of the Sunshine Kid
dies in Alma promises to be one q.
the rarest treats of the year.
The management of the Strand i.
particularly fortunate in being abl,
to book this high grade, clean cut at
traction, and is to be commended
highly upon bringing here an enter
tainment of such nature that ever
the most eXacting cannot but com
mend it highly once they have heart

Best Seal Sale
In State History

The complete returns for the annual
Christmas seal sale conducted by the
Michigan tuberculosis association
have not yet been received, but the
figures are definite enough to show
that during December Of 1921 the
largest seal sale was conducted since
the state tuberculosis association was
organized.
This is all the more gratifying in
view Of the fact that reports from
other states show that in most places
the seal sale fell short of the figures
of previous years. The sale came af-
ter a year of great business depres-
sion, and health workers all over
American were dubious about the re-
suit. In most states the battle was
an effort to hold their own and not to
fall far below the record of the year
before.
The Michigan association followed
the policy Of increasing its effort and
went out from the start for start for
a larger sale than before. Health
workers, womens clubs, teachers and
others throughout the state enthus-
iastically supported this policy, with
the result that the sale was very ma
terially larger than the best year be-
fore this. The thanks of the state
association are due to all who gave
their time and efforts unstintedly to
bring about this happy result.

Sunday evening at $3.50 the topic
for discussion will be Habits, Good

ises to be a wide-awake meeting, and
as the subject is a broad one there

others after the leader gives his talk.
A hearty invitation is extended to
all who are interested in this kind of

APPLICATIONS
MUST Be FILED
IN A FEW DAYS
ASPIRANTS FOR POSTMASTER-
SHIP AT LOCAL OFFICE HAVE
LITTLE TIME LEFT.
Time Limit Is
Tuesday Night

Next week Tuesday, March II, is
the final day for the filing of applica-
tions with the Civil Service Commits
sion in Washington for the position as
postmaster at Alma, which will be
filled in the very near future.
Ezra l.. Smith, who was recently
appointed as acting postmaster, fol-
lowing the resignation Of Vincent p.
Cash, does not expect to continue at
the office because of other business
affairs which require his time and the
post office department set March II
as the time limit for the filing of APP
plications for the postmastership at
the local office.
1t is understood that there will
probably be several aspirants for the
position as postmaster at the local Of
flee as number of applications have
been secured by various people in the
city, who probably hope to become
Almas next postmaster.
1t is very possible that some of
these applications may not be sent in
to the Civil Service Commission at
Washington, as some of the prospec-
tive candidates for the place may pos
sibly change their minds.
1t is understood, however, that four
or five applications have already been
sent to Washington so that there is
certain to be no lack of competition
for the place.
Following the expiration of the fill
ing time next Tuesday night at mid
night the commission will rate the
applications and three of them will be
certified to and sent to Congressman
Joseph w. Fordney, who will have
the privilege of recommending any
one Of the three for the position as
postmaster here.
Just how quickly the matter will be
settled is question, but it would not
be surprising if three or four weeks
elapse before a new postmaster is
named.

The efforts that are being made to
better the educational possibilities of
the Alma public schools was the sub
ject that was up for discussion at the
weekly luncheon of the Alma Cham
ber Of Commerce yesterday at the city
hall, A. c. Luchtman, principal of the
high school, and j. w. Kelder, super
intendent of the schools, going into
the various phases of the work in con
siderable detail, giving the business
men of the city an insight into the
affairs of the schools that they have
not previously had.
Over one hundred business men
were present at the meeting including
several visitors from other cities.
Following the luncheon. Chairman
Babcock, called upon the friends of
the various visitors to introduce them.
Among the visitors were Ross Miller,
secretary of the st. Louis Board of
Trade; b. L. Case, of Ithaca, county
clerk; Charles Heisler, of Ithaca, Mr.
Rowland, a prominent farmer from
the southern part of the county, Will
lam Schiff, a farmer near here, and
Mr.. Whitsel of Lansing.
Mr.. Luchtman in opening his ad-
dress called attention to the crowded
condition of the high school, which
was constructed for the accommoda
tion of less than 300 students, and
the growth of the high school until
now it has 34S students, 80 of whom
must be seated in the balcony fol
part of the time, at least, because OF
the very crowded condition. With
such condition he called attention
to the fact that the various recitation
rooms of the high school are naturally
crowded to the limit.
That the high school is growing in
spite of the depression was indicated
from the fact that two years ago the
graduating class was the banner class
in the history of the schools with 81
and that this year the class will mum

The big sleet storm Of last week
damaged trees badly over large
area of central and northern Michi-

as high as ninety per cent of the trees
in some places were badly broken by
the weight of ice and sleet which ac-
cumulated during the storm.

PROTECT WATER
AND THE PUBLIC
SEWERAGE PLANS MUST BE
SUBMITTED BY PRIVATE AND
PUBLIC CORPORATIONS.

Protection of water supplies from
pollution and the public from prevent
able diseases, rather than saving Of
fish, is the purpose of the Michigan
department of health in waging its
campaign against stream and lake
pollution and indiscriminate disposal
of industrial wastes and domestic
sewage.
This point has been brought out
recently at various court proceedings.
The fact that fish are being smothered
in many streams in Michigan due to
oxygen deficiency is merely an indica-
tion of the extent to which inland wat
ers are being polluted, it is said. Such
gross pollution, samaritans assert, is
a menace to the public health, and the
safety of water supplies.
Under the state law amended by the
1921 legislature it is now necessary
that private corporations as well as
public shall file with the state depart
ment of health true and correct de-
scriptions of the entire sewerage sys-
tens owned" Letters requesting this
information are now being sent out
by the department. Plans and speci-
fications will be examined with refer
ence to their effect upon the public
health, and approved or alterations
ordered.
Among the worst offenders of the
stream pollution law, it is alleged, are
the industries whose unsatisfactory
disposal Of waste creates nuisances
kills fish, and pollutes water supplies
In enforcing the law against stream
pollution the state department OF
health will receive the cooperation OF
the departments of conservation ano
agriculture.
