A TOURIST CAMP GROUND
IN ALMA

The question of tourist camp has
been mentioned and it has been con
sdered as of prominent thought for
several here in our community. Why
not Alma get in line with a great
number Of our towns all over the
country? AS the trunk line roads are
to intersect at this point, it would
occur to be of vital interest to our
citizens to father such project.
This would help materially to place
Alma on the map. And the advan-
tages gained thereby would be of a
helpful nature. As rule people
touring the country, and especially
with the automobile, are a very desir-
able set of folks and camp site in
our midst would be of mutual bene-
fit. And why shouldn't it be right i'm
our midst? and as near the center
of our town as space will permit +?
Our merchants would thereby reap
more or less profit, by the trade as
furnished by this class. 1t would oc-
cur that our water works park or
ground adjacent thereto would make
most desirable place. Plans are
now on foot by our city commission
to level up the ground in this place
and perhaps by a little extra coop
Grafton by us all the location might
be made most desirable. If necessary
why not make it an old-fashioned
"loggin' bee" and we all turn in for a
day along with our farmer friends
and others with teams and trucks and
transport such soil as is needed to
put the place in order? While you're
talkin' let's do this: Have pot luck
dinner, have some band music and
have roast OK and do the thing up
brown. Rather not advocate having
such place out away from town
where the benefits would not be OBJ
tanned.
The plat Of ground east Of and
adjacent to the roller mills might al
so be made available and desirable
for the purpose set forth.

FARMERS, BE CAUTIOUS,

March 20. 1922.
AT all auction sales which have
been held lately anything and every
thing in the line Of brood sows have
sold extremely high This is not only
true in Michigan but is the same all
through the corn producing states.

friend of his in Illinois who wrote
that he had three hudred little pigs
this spring and expected to make a
mice thing out of them next fall

before they arc hatched).'
Now, if we will use only a small
amount Of common sense we cant
help but arrive at the conclusion from
these facts that almost everyone is
saving and buying all the brood sows
that they can handle, which will GER
tainly mean that we will have very
cheap pork in the near future-it
can't work out otherwise.

they deceive themselves for time into thinking that
