HIGH SCHOOL
LEAGUE OPENS
ALMA ONE OF SIX SCHOOLS TO
OPEN SCHOOL LEAGUE SEA
son FRIDAY.

The six school teams of the re-
Gently organized Central Michigan
league, composed of the leading high
schools Of Clare, Isabella and Gratiot
counties, will open their league sea-
sons on Friday, putting under way
a season that should be more con-
ductive to good athletics in central
Michigan than any in the past.
None of the teams is in good shape
for the opener on Friday, as the
weather conditions up until this
week were such that the teams were
able to secure but little outdoor
work, and the greater part of this
was secured on rain-soaked dia-
monds, which do not offer the best
possible places for workouts. The
local team has been working faith
fully during the past few days in
the effort to make up as much as
possible for the previous lost time,
and probably will be in as good shape
to open the season as any of the
teams in the league.
Local hopes to finish high up in
the standing in the new school league
are high. The team will be far
from veteran aggregation but is
seemingly giving every promise of
developing into a. speedy high school
nine.
Alma high will open at home with
Clare, meeting this school in an ath-
letic contest for the first time in a
dozen years. Clare has had some
classy baseball teams in recent years
and promises to give Coach Van
Hoesen's nine a real battle on Re-
public field The probabilities are
that Chafin, ace of the high school
hurting staff, will be given the mound
assignment in the hope Of picking
off the opening fray.
The other opening trays in the
league Friday should also see some
good contests, as indications are
that the various teams will be nearly
equal in strength. st. Louis will
meet Shepherd at Shepherd and Mt
Pleasant will play at Ithaca.

CIVIC LIBRARY
GIVEN To THE
CITY OF ALMA
CIVIC IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE
ASKS CITY TO TAKE OVER
THE PROPOSITION.
The City Commission
Takes Prompt Action

communication from the Alma
Civic Improvement League to the
City Commission Tuesday night car
ried resolution passed by the
League at recent meeting offering
to the city the library which the
organization established here in
1907 and has continued since that
time with fine success.
1t was pointed out in the com
munication, which was signed by
Mrs. Sadie NJ. Soule, vice president
of the Civic League, by Mrs. Wilcox,
secretary, and also by the members
of the library committee, that the
library has now reached such pro-
portions that the league feels that it
is no longer able to finance the Ii
brary to the extent that shoeld be
done TO keep pace with the demands
that are being made upon it by the
public.
In the communication the League
asked that it might have the right To
suggest the names of members of
a library board to be named TO gov
ern and direct the affairs of the Ii
brary, if taken over by the city.
The communication was accepted
by the city commission and filed, and
the city attorney was instructed to
prepair library ordinance, which
will provide for a governing board
for the library.
1t is expected that as soon as the
library board has been named by the
city, which Of course will not be for
a few weeks, pending the preparing
and passage of the ordinance, the
Civic Improvement League will turn
over to the city the fine library
furniture which was purchased about
a year ago by this organization, Civ
ing to the city a fully equipped Ii
brary, that is a splendid foundation
for the city to build upon in the flu
ture.
The library and free reading room
was established by the Civic I'M
provement League in 1907, by the
gift of books from various people in
the city, and the purchase of some
books and magazines. Gradually
the library grew until it has assumed
fine proportions for a privately own
ed library of this character. At the
present time the library contains over
1900 books, the leading magazines
and daily papers.
That the library, even now, means
much to the city is shown from the
fact that between 5000 and 1000
people visit it each month. Last
year over $4,000 books were loaned
and over $4,000 people visited the
reading room in all. A total of
$40 books was bought last year.
About a year ago the library was
moved into the west room Of the city
hall, where it has a good location
and considerable room in which To
expand.
1t is understood that the budget for
the city for the coming year, which
is now being prepared by William +.
Reynolds, city manager, will contain
an item of $4,000 for the library
during the next twelve months. Ii
is possible, however, when the bud
get gets before the city commission
for discussion prior to its passage in
May, that the amount may be in
creased.

SUMNER CONFERENCE IN JULY

The annual conference of Presby-
terian young people, which is an
nually held at Alma College during
the summer, will be held this year
from July to July 9, inclusive.
1t is expected that the program
for the conference this year will
bring to Alma better religious speak
ers than had ever appeared at pre-
vious conferences. The Board Of
Publication and Sabbath School
Work of the Presbyterian Church has
charge of the program of the con-
ference. AS the attendance at the
summer conference here has been
greater each year, since the first
summer school several years ago,
it is confidently expected that the
coming conference will see another
record breaking attendance.

HEAL II NURSE
IS IMPORTANT
BY PREVENTING "REPEATERS"
SHE SAVES MUCH MONEY
EVERY YEAR.

1t is an accepted fact that about
ten per cent Of the children in Michi-
gan's schools, as in the schools Of
other states, are "repeaters," that is
year to make grade. A county
that has a school child population of
10000, has annroximately 1000 re-
peaters. 1t is known that the most
important reasons for this repeat
with tuberculosis and other defects
ing are teeth, tonsils and adenoids,
as other causes. BY medical in
spection in the schools and by the
employment Of a county public health
can be cut down considerably in any
nurse the number of repeater"
county. That this can be done is
known because it has been done in
some counties, says the Michigan
tuberculosis Association.
1t costs at least fifty dollars
year for each child in school. Any
county that by taking the necessary
steps for medical inspection and
nursing service cuts down the num-
Der of "repeaters' by one fourth, or
500 in a county of 10000 pupils
thereby saves the neat sum Of $685.
600, which is vastly more than the
cost of the service. A county pub
lie health nurse that cuts down "re-
peaters" by so small a number as
fifty, thereby more than saves the
county her salary.
A movement is in progress in
Michigan TO have public nurse
supported by the funds of the coun-
ty appointed in thirty additional
counties in Michigan. There are at
present twelve county health nurses
supported by public taxes. and the
thirty proposed additional nurses
will help materially to improve
health conditions in Michigan. APP
pointing a public health nurse in a
county is not a matter Of philan-
thropy, according to the Michigan
tuberculosis Association, but mat
ter Of hard-headed business sense.

Leaving for the Liard

s. c. Scottee and John Mocine arrived from the States on the Queen.
 As soon as the weather permits they will leave by dog team for the Liard region where a big placer mining proposition will engage their attention.
 Messrs. Scottee and Mocine are going in early in order to take in supplies from the Hudson's Bay post to their property before time to begin the seasons operations. This can be done more advanta- geously before the freshets come. There will also be an added ad- vantage in not having to stop op- erations to bring in supplies during the working season.
 Sam Scottee has spent a number of years in the North. During the past ten years he has been in the Cassiar, and knows that country as but few men do.
 John Mocine is not a stranger in the North. He was formerly in the Whitehorse district. As a mining engineer MT. Mocine has had experience in various parts of the world, including South Africa and Siberia.
 This is the first party to leave Wrangell for the Cassiar this sea- son, but there will be other parties leaving before the end of the month
