WOODWARD MAKES
GOOD IN EAST
FORMER ALMA BOY NOW GEN
ERAL PASSENGER AGENT
OF 4 RAILROAD.

Peter II. Woodward, who spent his
boyhood days in st. Louis and Alma,
receiving his education in the public
and commercial schools Of the two
cities, and whose father NJ. j. Wood
ward, still lives in this vicinity, is
making good in the world Judging
from the following article taken from
the Information Bulletin Of the Long
Island Railroad, for which Woodward
is general passenger agent.
mir. Woodward was born at Ale
gan, Michigan, November %, 1873,
and was educated in public and COM
mercial schools in Alma and st. Louis,
Michigan.
"His first railroad position was with
the Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad
at Saginaw, Mich, entering the Car
Record Office Of that railroad as
stenographer and clerk on November
/, 1890. A year later he was trans
ferred to the office Of the general sup
erintendent Of the same road, acting
in various clerical capacities until
March 2Oth, 1897.
On March 2Oth, 1891 few months
after Mr.. w II. Baldwin, Jr, and Mr..
W. f. Potter, were called to the Long
Island Railroad, the latter directly
from the Pere Marquette, the former
as president and the latter as general
superintendent, Mr.. Woodward came
east also and acted as clerk and chief
clerk TO the general superintendent
until May /, 1903, when he was ap-
pointed superintendent Of the Long
Island Express, in charge Of express,
baggage, and mail traffic on the Long
Island System.
"On February /, 1905, when Mr. W
+. Potter became president Of the
Long Island Railroad Company, fol-
lowing the death of Mr.. Baldwin, Mr.
Woodward was appointed secretary to
the president, remaining as such dur
ing the fifteen years that Mr. Ralph
Peters has been president and general
manager and federal manager. On
March lst, 1920, he was appointed as
general passenger agent.
MIR. Woodard is chairman Of the
committee Of management of the
Long Island Railroad Employees Mu-
tual Relief Association, and chairman
of the schedule committee. He is a
director and officer i'm several subsid-
iary lines owned and operated by the
Long Island Railroad. He is an hon
orary member OF the Long Island
Press Association; member of the
Long Island Hotel Mems Association,
Long Island Real Estate Board, also
Of the Jamaica Board of Trade, the
Brooklyn Chamber Of Commerce,
Chamber of Commerce of the Borough
of Queens, Chamber Of Commerce Of
the United States, member of the
Community Association of Bay Shore,
and the Michigan Society of New
York.
Mr. Woodward, the former Alma
10y, who has met with this success in
the east, not only has a father living
in Gratiot county, his boyhood home,
but also other relatives. Mrs. Gus
Heron of this city is also near rela-
tive.

A Bad Fire
at breckenridge

Mrs. Flora Mccall, aged 78 years,
mother Of Mrs. A. f. Crawford, Wen
dell Mccall, nephew, and Mrs. Craw-
ford's son, Robert, were badly burned
late Saturday afternoon, when flames
destroyed the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alfred f. Crawford at Breckenridge.
1t is believed that a gasoline ex-
plosion in the kitchen Of the Craw-
ford home caused the fire, which
spread with such rapidity that it was
with difficulty that Mrs. Mccall,
Wendell Mccall and Robert Crawford
were able TO escape. Robert was
working with some gasoline at the
time of the fire and was very badly
burned, about the hands. His grand
mother, Mrs Mccall, was even more
seriously burned, and because Of her
advanced age fears are entertained
for her recovery Wendell Mccall was
burned about the face and hands,
which were aso badly cut from glass,
when he crashed through door in
getting his grandmother to safety.
The home of Marshall Hopkins next
door was also badly damaged by
flames. The damage TO the Hopkins
home is PLACED at $1,000, but the
damage to the Crawford home is eX-
pected to reach $4,000
The st. Louis fire department was
called to the scene, but the fire at the
Crawford home had assumed such
proportions by that time that nothing
coud be done to save it and the de-
partment devoted It's attention to saw
ing the Hopkins home.-A.C.

Facts Regarding
The Income Tax

The new requirement of the income
tax law that returns shall be
made of gross income of $4,000 or
more regardless of the amount of net
income upon which the tax is assessed,
necessitates careful computation on
the part Of the taxpayer. Gross in
come includes practically every dol
lar received by the taxpayer dring the
year 1921 in salaries, wages, commits
sions, rents, royalties, interest on
bank deposits, cash dividends on stock,
"or income from any source whatso-
ever" Net income" is gross income
less certain deductions provided for
by the act, including all business ex-
penses incurred in the conduct of a
business, trade, profession, or voca-
ton.
Certain expenditures, however, are
not deductable as a business expense
when made for the purchase Of arti-
cles. more or less permanent in char
acter, or for permanent improvement
of property. For example, merchant
would not be allowed to deduct the
amount expended in the erection of "A
new store, or farmer the cost Of a
new tractor or thrashing machine,
since such investments are held TO be
capital investments. The law ex-
pressly prohibits the deduction Of
family or living expenses, such as rent
for a dwelling, repairs to a dwelling,
cost of food and clothing for the fam
lily, education of children, servant 5
wages, and similar items. Amounts
spent during the year 1921 for any of
these items are not deductble.

Not As Bad As
Pessinlist Thinks

That times are not as bad as the
dyed-in -the-wool pessimist would have
one believe, are evident from the op-
timistic spirit around the Niles Motor
Sales Company's salesrooms these
days.
The Niles Motor Sales Company un-
loaded a carload of Fordson tractors
here Saturday and by Tuesday night
four Of them had been delivered to
farmers in this vicinity 1t looks like
a real ray Of light in the dark cloud
that the pessimists have been rolling
up in their efforts to tell just where
business has gone.
The Niles Motor Sales Company is
not only enjoying healthy business
with its tractors, but is also receiving
a large number Of orders for Ford
Cars.

DRY CLEANING
establishment
CITY DRY CLEANERS HAVE COM
PLETED INSTALLATION OF
THEIR NEW PLANT.

The Alma City Dry Cleaners have
completed the installation of their
modern dry cleaning plant, which
was pat into active use this week by
this hustling Alma firm.
To the rear of the building, which
is occupied by the firm on East Su-
pcrior street, small brick building
was erected in which the dry cleaning
works are located. Modern machin-
cry for the purpose, all purchased
new, has been secured and installed.
This includes deodorizer, an Tex-
tractor, white-goods and silk wash
er and large washer for other
goods. Four large tanks, under
ground, contain the gasoline used
there. Two Of the tanks contain 1S0
gallons each and two 100 gallons
each. A clarifer keeps the gasoline
clean.
The establishment is one of the
most modern dry cleaning establish
ments in this part of the state and is
the only works of the kind in The
county. The dry cleaners went to a
large expense to put in the modern
machinery needed for such a business
but the firm has full faith in the fu-
ture of Alma, and feels that the vcn-
ture cannot be other than a success.

MEET ST. JOHNS
HERE IN DEBATE
LOCAL TRIO TO MEET CLINTON
COUNTY TEAM IN CONTEST
HERE FRIDAY.

Word was received just as The
Record was going to press that
st. Johns high debating team has
forfeited Fridays debate on the
closed shop question to Alma
high, making five straight unani
nous victories for the Alma team
and assuring the locals of being in
the state high school elimination
finals for the state championship.
With the five unanimous wins, as
forfeit counts as unanimous
decision, Alma has established
state record for unanimous wins.
Tomorrow afternoon at 1880 o'clock
the debate between st. Johns High
and Alma High will be staged. The
outcome of this debate will deter
mine whether or not the Alma lin
gusts will compete in the state finals.
Prospects are good, however, for it is
said that II points will qualify any
team in the final series and the Alma
team is already the possessor of 16
points. Nothing short of a unanimous
decision for St. Johns can burst AL
mas bubble. SO far the Alma repre-
sentatives have shown themselves to
be among the best in the state, hav-
ing won all four of their scheduled
debates unanimously, record which
cannot be surpassed. The team, un-
der the tutelagc Of Coach VanHoesen,
has improved and strengthened its
argument and is practically ready for
the invasion from the rival school
Elliott Crooks, John Holmes and Dare
Strong will, as usual, represent the
local institution.
In this controversy Alma will up
hold the affirmative side of the ques-
tion Resolved, that the principle of
the Closed Shop in American Indus
try should receive the support of Pub
lie Opinion"

BAD SLEET STORM

A bad sleet storm Tuesday night
and all day Wednesday did a great
amount of damage to trees, telegraph
and telephone wires in this part Of
the state. 1t also caused trains to
run far behind their scheduled time.
In Alma many beautiful shade trees
were broken down and in many other
cases large limbs were broken off.
The creek or open drain from the
north end of the city through to the
river overflowed its banks badly from
the rush of water, flowing over SUI
perior and adjacent streets in its inn
mediate vicinity causing considerable
inconvenience to traffic.

An editor is the first to hear gos-

rumors of married men, and in fact
all neighborhood scandals. Editors
generally know all naughty doings in
a community, no matter how secret.
II one half they heard was published,
there would be divorce, social ostra-
cism and other woes; there would be
shotguns and gore, and Imprisonment,
lynching, desolate homes, shame, hui
initiation and misery. The editor also
learns much of the hypocrisy of life,
and it is wonder he believes any
thing on earth or in the hereafter

The note Of color made by the strik-

about the blankets were received and
answered. He expects many people
who drive to the coast every summer
to come by way Of Pendleton this war
instead of going by wayFof Semitic ss
they have in former years. Il
Wheat prospects in the Palouse
country are not up to local chances for
"a crop. Averill says. The cold weather
did not result in the crop being froz-
EN- out, but there are many yellow
spots in the fields, and a note of pes
tsimisan is apparent in the CONVERSE
tions of farmers there.

'CROPS PROMISING m
| EAST END SAYS SHIELDS

All kinds Of fruit are a little behind
normal schedule this spring in the
Milton--Freewater country on account
OF prolonged cool weather, but the
prospects for a good crop of nearly
everything that the versatile irrigated
cuntry grows are good, according to
5. S. Shields, prominent fruit packer
of the east end of the county.
1T looks now as il strawberries
won't be ripe before June /. or about
two weeks later than in ordinary
years." Mr.. Shields said this morning.
The pears are now in full bloom, and
they are later by two months than
they have been in other years. l have
seen the pear trees loaded with blooms
as early as March l."
The Winesap crop will be light, ae-
cording to the amount of bloom, but
other apples will be about a normal
crop, he thinks. Cherries and peaches
promise well, and the same can be
said of the pears. The three STORY
building of the Milton Ice and Cold
Storage plant will soon be completed
Ice will be manufactured in the plant
and this fall the third floor of the
building will be used for fruit pack
ing.
