SCHOOLS ENROLL
MANY CRUSADERS
40. 900 ARE NOW ENROLLED IN
THE SCHOOLS OF 5s COUN-
TIES OF STATE.

Have you a chore card in your
home?
If not, it's safe to prophesy that
Johnny or Mary will bring one home
inside of the next month, for 10000
cards have already been given out in
Michigan schools, and 10000 more
are expected to be in service by
Christmas.
In the home the chore card is said
to be comparatively harmless. Symp-
toms of its presence are mainly no
ticeable among the rising generation.
A passion for tooth-brushes and a
mania for soap and water point al
most infallibly to a lurking chore
card in the family.
The chore card, in fine, is the rec
ord folder of the Modern Health Cru
sade. Special instruction in this de-
vice for the teaching of hygiene is
being given at each Of the district
teachers conventions during this
month. The Crusade is sponsored by
the Michigan tuberculosis association
and the state departments Of Public
instruction and Health.
Following an earlier series of lee
lures given at county teachers meet
ings an enrolment of forty thousand
children in SO counties has been re-
proted to state Crusade headquarters.
From a pedagogical point of view the
interest in the Crusade lies in the
fact that it aims at establishing the
habits of healthful living instead of
confning the work in hygiene to for
NAL instruction.

BRANCH BANKS
ARE SEEN BY
= ROGER BABS0N
NEW YORK HOUSES TO SEEK
RENEWAL OF INFLUENCE
HIS VIEW.
Hurt by Federal
Reserve System,

There has been much discussion re-
garding branch banks at the annual
convention of the American Bank
ors Association which was held last
week in New York. Owing to the
controversy which this discussion has
developed, Roger w. Babson was to-
day interviewed regarding the prob
able outcome.
" OF course the discussion is the
natural outgrowth of the establish
ment of the Federal Reserve Banks.
Before the days Of the Federal Re
serve system" says Mr.. Babson, "a
branch bank organization practically
existed, altho it was an unconscious
end invisible organization. For in
stance, the small bank in Indiana
took orders from It's correspondent
bank in Indianapolis; and the Indian
apolis bank took its orders from a
still bigger bank in New York. The
heads Of a few of the New York
hanks would hold a conference at the
home of the late j. Pierpont Morgan
or at the home of Mr.. Baker Of the
First National Bank, and decide upon
q policy. This policy they would pass
along to the large banks of Boston,
Chicago, Philadelphia, indianapolis,
St. Louis, New Orleans, and other
large cities. The banks in these
large cities would in turn pass the
same policy on to the small banks in
their districts. There were no con-
tracts or stock control existing be-
tween the banks, but there was an in
visible control which was very pow
erful. With the organization of the
Federal Reserve Banks the clearance
Of checks at par, and the legislation
against interlocking directorates this
control was given a tremendous jolt.
No longer it is much of an object for
country bank to keep a deposit with
the large city bank. Thus there has
been a gradual drifting away on the
part of the country banks from the
city banks. The large cities have be-
come more independent of New York;
and the country banks, have become
more independent Of the large cities.
AS long as the money rates were
high, this did not worry the city
banks, but during the past year
when money rates have been declin-
ing, the large city banks have dis
tinctly felt the loss Of their former
power. Hence, they are looking
around for some plan to get their
country following back again.
"There is no hope of breaking up
the Federal Reserve system which is
functioning very satisfactorily. The
men connected with the Federal Re-
serve banks are active and ambitious.
They are building permanent and
substantial banking houses and are
accumulating great resources. They
are issuing reports and other publ
cations which appeal greatly to the
country banks. The larger city
banks are distinctly worried about
this and are looking for some other
means for recouping their prestige.
They first turned their attention to
Foreign Trade organizations. For
eign Trade was the key note at the
American Bankers Convention two
years ago. The foreign trade bus
iness, however, has not panned out as
well as the banks had hoped it would
and our recent tariff has given al

Mr.. J. L. Turco of Detroit assumed
the management of the Alma Electric

business. He plans to extend the
business of the local plant, and will
move his family to Alma in the near
future.

VIOLIN RECITAL

The violin recital by Roderick

drew a small but appreciative aud
ience. Mr.. White made fine inn

several encores. The diversity Of his

mode of tone that can be expressed
by a violin. Mr.. Whites versatility,
his deftness Of touch, perfect tech

instantly stamped him as master

His choice Of program was excel

CANT A|GM At
SUGAR PLANT
HAS STARTED
IT'S IMPORTANCE IN CITY'S LIFE
FORCIBLY BROUGHT HOME
IN RECENT YEARS.
Run May Continue
Nearly 3 Months

The Alma plant of the Michigan
Sugar Company put its annual fall
campaign under way Saturday morn
ing when the first beets of the 1922
crop went into the slicer, and there
is every expectation that there will be
no let up in the work until the last
beet is sliced from 20 to 80 days
hence. During this time over $4,000
tons Of beets will go through the
slicing process and yield up their
quota of sugar for the tables Of the
country.
During the past ten days or two
weeks the beet sheds and the weigh
stations Of the company have been
open and have been receiving beets
from the farmers of the vicinity who
have been under contract during the
past summer. During the past week
they have been coming in rapidly and
if the present weather holds forth for
the coming two or three weeks there
is little, if any, likelihood that there
will be a shortage of beets before the
end Of the campaign. The present
pleasant weather and the good condi-
tion of the roads both indicate that
the farmers will have little trouble
this year in getting their beets har-
vested and into the sheds or delivered
to the weigh stations.
The Alma plant has in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 tons of beets under
contract with the farmers Of this vi
cinity and the probabilities are that
approximately 10000 tons Of the sug-
ar beets will be received from some
of the other plants Of the Michigan
Sugar company to be made into sugar
at this point. This means that the
Alma company will run from 70 to
80 days in its annual campaign.
With a sugar market that is appar-
emily growing stronger, and much
stronger than year ago the pros
poets are that the farmers who raised
sugar beets this year will get a good
price for their crop. This means
that they will have thousands of dol
lars to spend for the things that they
will need for the winter months. The
workers at the factory will also re-
ceive thousands of dollars in return
for the labor at the plant, a great
part of which will ultimately find its
way into the business houses Of AL
ma and of Gratiot county.
This again brings home the fact
that the sugar factory is also one Of
the important factors in the industri-
al life of the community, although it
is operating only a few months dur
ing the course of the year. It's i'm
portance to Alma has been clearly
shown during the past year or two.
Prior to that time and for a decade
there may have been some who had
never given this concern a thought as
regards its place in the business and
industrial life of Alma, but the ex-
perience of the past two years, with
the aid that it has extended to Alma
workers in the fall, and in providing
them with funds for the winter
months, has brought to it new i'm
portance, as Alma people are again
brought to realize its genuine worth.
