MRS. PRICE CORRECTS IDEA
ABOUT co. TREASURERSHIP

Since the recent unfortunate cir
cumstance which took away the one
on whom | depended for support,
have realized that it was absolutely
necessary for me to do something to
earn a living. II was this fact and be-
cause it seems only fair that the
women voters, who constitute at
least one-half of the voting strength
of the Republican party in Gratiot
county, ought to have representation
on the ticket and the feeling that
can do this work accurately and sat
isfactorily which lead me TO announce
my candidacy for county treasurer.
I am informed that some people
have misunderstood my financial
situation and have stated that ! do
not need the office. This is entirely
mistake | have no fortune to de-
pend on as the probate records show
if you care to ask Judge Krcss. |
must work for a living and am
ready and willing to do so. If the
Republican voters of Gratiot county
see fit to nominate me and / am
elected / shall do all in my power TO
do the work of the treasurer's office
satisfactorily and shall devote my
entire time to serving the public.

TICKET SELLING
IS ARRANGED FOR
GUARANTORS MET LAST NIGHT
TO SETTLE DETAILS OF
CAMPAIGN.

Wednesday evening number OF
the guarantors of the coming chau-
taqua, which opens on August 10
held a meeting at the city hall at
which final preparations for the sale
of season tickets for the event were
made.
The guarantors decided upon the
tentative plan Of the chuatauqua
committee for dividing the city into
five districts, each with captain in
charge Of the guarantors, who are to
make house to house canvass during
the next two weeks. In addition to
these committees for the five districts
committees have been appointed for
the industrial workers of the city
the farmers, the women's business
organization and the girls business
organization.
The ticket sale will be put under
way Immediately by the various
committees and all of the guarantors
of the Chautauqua are expected tc
cooperate in the work of disposing
of the tickets for the event, as they
are responsible for the amount Of the
guarantee with the Redpath Bureau
The season tickets for the Chau-
tauqua this year will be sold for 81
rs, as in past years, except that this
year there will be no war tax on the
tickets. During the past few years
these tickets with war tax have beer
1903. Childrens tickets will be or
sale for children between the ages OF
6 and II years. The committee will
also have industrial tickets again
this year, which are good for all night
numbers. These tickets will be sold
for $500. They will be available fo1
industrial workers, stenographers
farmers, clerks in stores, and men
who find it impossible to attend in
the afternoon. If one desires TO at
tend any of the afternoon entertain
ments, however, they will find il
much cheaper to have the full season
ticket, which admits to all numbers
which are not covered by the indus
trial ticket.

for the High school and the securing
Of a physical director.
Oliver Carlson, former Albion and
Michigan State Normal athlete, who
has had considerable training as a
physical director, has been signed by
Mr. Luchtman, for the position of

had a wide atheletic experience and
at Michigan State Normal had been
A highly rated, valuable baseball and
basket ball man. He has also had
some work in the other sports.

pointed as principal of the High

Summer Bible School
TO Close ThlirsdaV

The Summer Bible School which
has been held in the Lincoln school
building for the past five weeks will
have its closing exercises in the Pres
byterian church Thursday evening at
1880 o'clock. The pupils of this
school have come from the Methodist,
Baptist and Presbyterian churches
including Eastminster chapel, but
persons from all the congregations Of
the city and their friends are invited.
A demonstration of what the children
have learned will be given.
1t is surprising how much has been
accomplished in the school in so short
time. In the advanced class, class
including pupils eleven and twelve
years old, every one can repeat from
memory all of the books Of the Bible,
the general divisions in which they
may be grouped and the characteris-
ties Of these divisions; also Psalms
/, %, 81, The Ten Commandments,
Matt. 3, Cor. 13, all Of the Primary
Catechism containing one hundred and
thirty-two questions, an outline Of the
life of Jesus, the fundamental facts
concerning the Geography of Pales-
tine and ten lessons in a book entitled
"The Way of Life" 1t is the hope Of
those who have planned the school
that each student will strive to attend
at least four summers. Those doing
so will receive diploma and it is
safe to say that every one possessing
such diploma will be truly marked
person because of the extent of his
Bible knowledge.
1t is the plan to take all the pupils
of the school who have remained
faithful in their attendance up to the
last, on picnic Friday. The picnic
will probably be held at Bass lake.
Parents Of the children are invited.

ALMA COLLEGE
PROSPECTS GOOD
ALL ROOMS EXCEPTING TWO
HAVE BEEN APPLIED FOR
AT WRIGHT HALL.

Prospects for attendance at Alma
College this coming year are regard
ed as being exceptionally bright by
the college authorities who are look
forward to a still greater attendance
this coming year and there is little
question, but what all attendance re-
cords of past years will be broken.
This optimistic view is not based
entirely on prospects, some of whom
always manage to get lost in the
shuttle, but is based on far more
reasonable grounds than that II
was learned the first of the week that
the College has already received ap-
plications for all except two of the
rooms in Wright Hall, the girls dor
mitory, which is one of the largest
that any such institution in the state
can boast. 1t is still almost two full
months before college will open.
1t is always much easier to get a
possible basis for attendance from
the applications for rooms in the
girls dormitory than the mems as
the latter class seldom gets around to
make room reservations early, and
many do not bother with such small
thing as room until they arrive in
Alma. Thus it is more difficult also
to get a probable line on the attend
ance Of young men but the more num-
erous inquiries that the college has
received, would indicate that more
young men are contemplating on Sc
curing at least a part of their higher
education at Alma than ever before.

Emery is to Speak
Here on August II

Major John G. Emery, one of the
aspirants for the Republican nomin-
alton for United States Senator at
the primary September IL, will prob
ably be the second of the three
candidates for the nomination to
appear in Alma, movement being
under way at the present time for an
evening meeting for the candidates
on Monday, August 2l.
Few Alma people have had the
privilege of meeting this candidate
and will have their opportunity of not
only seeing him, but hearing him tell
why he should be the choice Of Mich
igan Republicanism at the primaries
as the party's candidate for u. S.
Senator. Regardless of political
views, Emery will probably draw a
good crowd for this reason.
