BAHLKE NOW ON
PURCELLS TRAIL
WELL MACHINE is SOLD AND
BALANCE OF JUDGMENT
IS SOUGHT.

In a communication TO the city
commission Tuesday evening Will
liam A. Bahlke, city attorney, in
formed the city commission that coll
lection of the $26,4O790 judgement
that was secured by the city against
A. X. Purcell, Jackson contractor,
had been started by the sale Of the
well machinery at public auction at
the court house to r. II. Kersey of
South Bend, Indiana, for $l,005.
This is the same well machine that
was located by representatives of
The Alma Record at the time that
the suits against Purcell were first
instituted After the machine was
located by Record representatives
the city retrieved the machine,
which it held until ordered sold by
the court and the proceeds applied to
the judgement, so the act Of The
Record has been means in aiding
the city in securing $l,005 of the
judgement,
The City Attorney also informed
the commission that he intends to
seek deficiency judgment from
the court for the balance, this being
25,40290 after which he says he
will be on Purcells trail 1t is
thought likely that Mr.. Purcell will
endeavor to go through bankruptcy
proceedings to avoid the Judgement,
but this promises to give Mr.. Bahlke
an opportunity to get at the con
tractor in court, and it is certain
that Mr.. Bahlke will make things
warm for him, if this should happen,
in the efforts to learn what has hap
pened to any money that Purcell
might have had.

SpdlUn Planting Is
In FdUOr In Alma

There is a strong and growing sem
timent i'm Alma for the establishment
Of fish and gun club, the advantage
of which are apparent to all hunters
and to all those who delight in pas
timing with the rod
One of the strongest arguments
which is being advanced for the
formation Of such a club is the de
sire to promote among the Alma fish
ing bugs" the habit Of stocking Pine
river each year with the we'll known
varieties of game fish that can be
grown in the Pine, and which in two
or three years would furnish local
fishermen with plenty of real sport.
There are any number of good var
ieties Of fish that could be secured
from the state and planted in the
waters Of the Pine in this vicinity,
which would thrive well, bass Of the
various varieties, steel heads, pike,
and perhaps farther up stream, rain
bows and other real fighting fish.
Such planting for a few years of
spawn, which can be obtained from
the state would make Pine river a
haven for fishermen. 1t is not a diff
ficult task to transplant the spawn of
the various fish and the results would
far offset any slight inconvenience
that might at any time be caused
lovers of the sport in devoting a few
hours time to transplanting several
cans of spawn into the river.

WASHBURN AND
MEDLER AGAIN
ON THE BOARD
LUCHTMAN SIGNED CONTRACT
AS THE SUPERINTENDENT
AFTER MEETING.
Voters Approved
Proposed Budget

Alma had no axe TO grind at the
annual meeting of the school district
held Monday evening, it is evident
from the small attendance, which
turned out and voted on the various
propositions that were up, and Will
liam W. Medler and Carl II. Wash
burn, the retiring members of the
board were kept in their places on
the board by practically unanimous
votes.
The attendance is shown in the vote
on the proposition to purchase lS lots
in Elmwood Park addition, to round
out the Republic school site and thus
provide for a park and playground
in the east end of the city. Only
SO votes were cast. This shows prob
ably the smallest attendance at an
annual school meeting held in ten
years and would serve to indicate that
the people of this city are well salts
fed with the way the affairs of the
school district are being conducted
The proposed budget of the board
was approved just as it was SUBMIT
ed to the voters of the district. 1t
would have been surprising if any
thing else had been the case, however
as the budget calls for only $ll3,0l5.-
co. This is smaller sum than that
called for last year by over $4,000,
made possible by the board although
the salaries of the instructors in the
public schools have not been cut.
When the election of members of
the board to succeed Mr. Medler and
Mr.. Washburn was held the two men
received practically all of the votes
that were cast. There We're very
few scattering votes, that kept the
choices from being unanimous.
When the proposition to purchase
the lots in Elmwood Park addition
was put TO a vote, following a short
discussion in which the need of the
property, and the price of the lots
was discussed, the proposition re-
ceived vote of 80 in favor of it and
20 against it.
Following the close Of the school
meeting, A. c. Lutchman, for the past
ten years principal of the High
School, signed contract as superin-
tendent of the Alma Public Schools

telegram received here Friday
from United States Senator Charles
r.. Townsend carried the information
that the senate Thursday evening
had confirmed the appointment Of
Frank o. Parker as postmaster at
Alma for the coming four year
period. He has since received of
tcial mobilization Of the appointment.
The selection of Mr.. Parker from
the six applicants for the place is
meeting with general satisfaction
in Alma, local people realizing
that his past experience has been
such that he should prove a highly
capable man for the place Aside
from his experience, which peculiar
ly fits him for the work, Mr. Park
er also stands very high in the com
munity as clean-cut, responsible
young man, and he has been receiv-
ing the congratulations from the
other contestants in the race as we'll
as from many business men and
others in the city, upon his selection
as postmaster.
1t is not known just when Mr..
Parker will take over the work at
the postoffice, but the expectation
is that he will succeed Ezra L. Smith,
aiting postmaster, July 18th This
depends, however, upon the depart
ment. When he takes over the
reins at the post office Mr.. Parker
will be in charge Of first class
office, which pays at the present tims
"A salary Of $4,000. The office be-
came a first class one on July /, at
which time the salary was boosted.
Mr.. Parker has been a resident of
Alma for the past l6 years, and dur
ing this time he has held positions
in only two institutions, covering a
period of l5l2 years, which speaks
for itself as to his thoroughness in
his work. For the past 5l9 years he
has been assistant cashier at the
First State Bank. Prior to that time
he was in the Alma postoffice for
period Of ten years. From a clerk in
the office he worked his way up to
the assistant postmaster's position,
which he held for three years before
resigning to go to the First State
Bank.

MAS0NS FIGHT
XII KLUX KLAN
GRAND MASTERS IN SEVERAL
STATES DECLARE AGAINST
THE SOCIETY.

As the direct result of fraud in
claiming the sympathy of Masons,
using Masons as approaching sales
men and attempting to gain support
from the Masonic fraternity, the Free
and Accepted Masons have definitely
declared war on the ku klux khan.
Charging the K. X. K. organiza-
tion as intensely anti-American and
promulgates terrorism and disregard
of law, the grand masters of the
Masonic fraternity in thirty states
have already denounced the organiza-
tion and sent out warnings to the To-
cal lodges. 1t is expected that other
state organizations will follow with
similar action.
The klan has been denounced as
thoroughly unAmerican and a Grim
nal conspiracy and it is expected that
the action on the part of the Masons
will crystalize against this organiza-
tion which has spread reign of ter
ror throughout many states in the
Union. 1t is said that one of the
tenets of the klan is political warfare
on Roman Catholics.
Clark w. Mckenzie, grand master
of Michigan Masonry, has declared
that he anticipates no lodge in the
state will permit the use Of its lodge
rooms for any meeting of the klan
and adds that such action on the part
Of any Masonic lodge will not be toll
Grated.
Attempts have been made within
the past few weeks in several Central
Michigan cities and towns to organ
ize the khan, among them being Grand
Rapids, Howard City, Lakeview,
Sparta and Greenville, and others,
but apparently without much success.
II is expected that other fraternal
orders and lodges will follow the lead
of the Masons in declaring against
the klan.

NeU Well Giving
Good Water FIOlU

The new well which is being put
down to increase the water supply of
the city of Alma has now reached a
depth Of 54S feet, 95 of which is
through a rock formation.
At the present time the well is Civ
ing flow of little more than 100
gallons Of water per minute, but
Manager William Z. Reynolds be-
lieves that this can be increased by
dynamiting the well and he is pre-
pairing to use dynamite in the well
before the week is ended
If the amount of water from this
well can be increased to any appreci-
able step Alma will have another
strong unit in its pure well water
system, as there is not yet the slight
est indication that the pumping Of the
new well is injurious to the other
wells in the slightest extent.

NEW CONCER ERN
IS To START
OPERATIONS
PARK AR COACH COMPANY TO
START WORK AT PLANT
THIS WEEK.
Twenty-Five Men
on the Pay Roll

The newest industry of the twin
cities, Alma and St. Louis-the Par
kar Coach Company, with a capital
ization Of 100000, will be under pro-
duction before the present week has
drawn to close, and again the
wheels Of industry will be hummng
at the Bollstrom factory, which has
stood idle for months. 1t has every
prospect of developing into an in
dustry of which the community may
be proud.
The company had been hoping to be
under production on Monday of this
week, but unlocked for delays in NOV
ing by truck from Detroit to the Boil
strom plant caused delay of a few
days. The heavy rains played a part
in the delay, causing holdup of
truck shipment because of the con-
ditiCn Of the roads, which were in
poor shape to withstand heavy loads.
A the factory Tuesday Mr.. G.. A..
Reem, treasurer Of the new company
stated that the plai;t would open
with about 25 men. AT that time he
said the company had received appli-
cations from over 100 men in St.
Louis and Alma who desired work.
As The company has 100000 worth
Of orders for delivery before Aug. !,
it will be necessary to hire the most
skilled of these men, but Mr.. Reem
pointed out that the company ex-
poets TO make every endeavor to put
married men with families, who are
not employed, TO work in the new
plant so far as can possibly be done.
He believes that in this way the COM
pany can be of big benefit to the
Twin Cities right from the start.
The company has every hope and
expectation that it will soon need a
much larger force of men and when
they are secured the same careful
attention will lie given to placing
men with families.
The Par-Kar Coach Company is a
new industry, having been in exist
cnce for only about two years, and
in May of this present year il was
incorporated. The concern was start
ed in Detroit in a meager way and
so far has been growing on its own
merits and seemingly has a fine
promise for the future. 1t has shown
a good consistent growth that gives
good indications Of future business,
especially when it is considered that
the company has a total Of $225,000
worth of orders on its books, $4,000
of which is to be ready for delivery
during the present month.
The company manufactures a
high class coach bus, which is manu-
factured entirely in the plant, chas-
aes, body, etc. The bus contains
fourteen individual revolving chairs.
1t is so constructed that it rides as
easily as the smoothest riding auto
mobiles.
The officers Of the company are
all experienced men in the automo-
bile industry, in which they are well
versed, both from the mechanical and
executive sides of the business.
