MODERN NOVEL
HERO MORAL
SAYS CROOKS
COLLEGE HEAD SAYS THEY
(JIVE A FALSE IMPRESSION
OF LIFE TO THE YOUN(J.
Choose Hooks That
Interpret Honestly
The popular novel was placed on
trial and found wanting by Dr. H.
31. Crooks, president of Alma col
lege, in an address before 150 mem
bers and guests of the West Side
Teachers Club nt the First M. E.
church in Saginaw last Wednesday
evening. Dr. Crooks' subject was
"Literature and Morality."
The supernatural hero, who resists
great temptation, wins the princess
and is showered with great riches
which President Crooks declared is
symbolical of the substance of most
rution is a plot or excuse for a plot
that is immoral in its effect, accord
ing to the speaker. "Such books lead
youngst-ers to think that life is or
ganized that way and then when these
things don't happen in real life, the
youth thinks that God isn't on the
job," the speaker said.
"First of all books should be true
to life. Some men write books by
picking a unique or peculiar char
acter and calling him one of us. They
write about him as though he were a
universal character, and yet he is
unusual.
"The next question is, 'On which
side Virtue or Vice am I left when
I get through reading the book?"
"Choose books that interpret life
fairly, wholely and honestly that
help you to appreciate life and the
principles that underlie life. It takes
more than a seventh rate writer in
a fourth rate monthly magazine to
see the end or purpose of life."
Dr. Crooks condemned the book
that depends upon an accident to re
form the hero. "The man who is
hit on the head with a tile and there
after changes the course of his life
isn't real. Tragedy is not an acci
dent, but the result of one's sins."
"Titles of books frequently irri
tate," he continued. He gave exam
ples of titles that are misfits or else
greatly misleading. The practice of
"overloading the hero," making the
other characters of the book seem
smaller so the hero will shine in
greater glory, was char acterized by
the sp:aker as a common fault of
several writers.
Preceding Dr. Crooks' address, the
teacher.; were told by Miss Mary Mc
Bratnic about the state convention at
Lansing of Teachers' Clubs, which
Miss McBratnie attended a3 delegate
from the club.
Artists Concert
Was a Big Success
The lecal artists' concert held un
der the auspbes of the Alma Art
cull) at the Presbyterian Church, Fri
day evening, was one of the best
functions of a musical nature that
has. been rendered by Alma talent in
a number of years, and in addition to
furnishing entertainment of a high
order accomplished results that were
far better than had been anticipated.
The Alma Art Club, which was the
moving spirit behind the concert de
sired to be of service to the poor of
the community and In casting about
for some means of securing funds to
be used by tho Alma Welafrc Asso
ciation in its work here, decided upon
the concert. The proceeds amounting
to $100.00 were turned over to this
organization to be ured in its work j
this winter. j
Over a score artists assisted in
the concert, in musical selections or
in readings, furnished an evening's,
entertainment that would be extreme
ly hard to duplicate in any other
way.

Will Read "Servant
in the House" Here
On Friday evening at 8 o'clock in
the Presbyterian Church one of the
most interesting entertainments of the
year will be given unddr the au
spices of the Presbyterian Brother
hood. Prof. Hay Immel of the De
partment of Public Speaking of the
University of Michigan will give
"The Servant in the House" as a
reading. Prof. Immel is well known
throughout the state, not only be
cause of his readings and addresses,
but also because he has been the man
who arranged the schedule for the
inter High School debates such as
Alma H. S. teams regularly partici
pate in.
In as much as Prof. Immel's ap
pearance is by arrangement with the
University extension department no
charge is made to the Broherhood for
his services and no charges will be
made to the public.
Those who heard Prof. Trueblood,
also of the U. of M., who was here
last year and gave "Ingomar the Bar
barian" will remember the pleasure
ami inspiration they had then and will
want to avail themselves of the pres
ent treat. Everyone is invited.
LICENSES GOING
01 SALE FRIDAY
SHARRAR & WATSON OF THIS
CITY WILL HAVE 1923 PLATES
AVAILABLE THEN.
Automobile owners, and users of
trucks and motorcycles will be able to
secure their 1023 automobile license
plates beginning on Friday, Decem
ber 1, at which time they will go on
sale at the branch office established
ry the Secretary of State with Shar
rar & Watson of Alma, who have
charge of the sale of the licenses in
Gratiot County.
Although the license plates, on
which green is the predominating
color this year, go cn .sale for the
first- time Friday, automobile users
are warned that they are not to be
used until January 1.
There have been some important
changes in the license regulations
since last year. From now cn it will
not be so easy to purchase plates as
more routine must be gone through.
One point is forcibly brought to the
attnticn of motorists by Charles J.
DeLand, secretary of state. It- is to
the effect that every person . buying
a 1023 license must show his or her
certificate of title for the car on
which the license is issued.
The 1021 legislature passed what is
known as the Condon certificate of
title law, a measure designed to cut
off automobile thefts in the state of
Michigan. This law became effective
on July 1, 1022. According to its
terms no transaction involving the
sale or purchase of a motor car in
Michigan can be made unless a title
has first been issued for the car, and
this mu3t then be transferred to the
purchaser, through the state depart
ment. Secretary DeLand in considering a
method of handling the 1023 licens
es so as to prevent fraud, decided
that all owners must show their cer
tificates of title when applying for
plates. The clerk issuing the license
will then be required to write in the
title number on the license applica
tion blank as a clerk to show the title
is in possession of the rightful own
er. The secretary of state concluded
after thorough consideration of the
problem that showing the title was
the only way of preventing the issu
ing of plates for stolen cars. This
will probably prove an inconvenience
to some who have mislaid their titles,
but the state department will adhere
strictly to the rule. Those who do not
comply with it will be unable to pur
chase license plates.
Those motcr car owners who wish
to avoid the unpleasant- rush which
starts each year on the day following
Christmas should purchase their li
cense some time between the opening
of the sale on December 1, and De
cember 21.

DECEMBER 3 TO 0 SET ASIDE II Y
THE GOVERNMENT FOR THIS
PURPOSE.
Ask Stress on
Certain Topics
The federal government has ap
pointed the week of December 3. to 0
as American Education Week. The
observance of this custom was insti
tuted two years ago by Dr. P. P.
Claxton, who at that time wjjs com
missioner of education. It is the plan
now to hold each year an observance
of Education week and through clubs,
church, newspapers, magazines and
every other means, emphasize the
work of education in the United
States.
It seemed wise, in order that the
campaign might be concentrated up
on phases of education which are of
outstanding significance to designate
certain days on which topics should
be stressed. These days are as fol
lows: For God and Country, Sunday, Dec.
3, 1022; 1. Education in the home;
2. Education in the school; 3. Educa
tion in the church. Slogan "A God
ly Nation Cannot Fail."
Ministers of all denominations are
urged to preach a sermon on educa

should be made to the American Le
gion posts throughout the country
for meetings during thi3 week.

Intelligence Test
at Alma College
Intelligence test held with the
Freshman class at Alma College,
which is known as the Range of In
formation Test, and is to be used an
nually with the Freshmen at the Col
lege, has proven very interesting this
year.
Sixty young men took the test and
of this number thirteen were graded
with A, Gilbert Davis of St. Louis
being high among the men. Of the
thirteen graded A, three were Alma
jjoung men. The A grade was given
on a score oi I4U or mora poinis ouc
of a possible 185.
The high score was taken by Miss
Dorothy Bradley of Alma, one of the
forty Freshmen girls who took the
test, with a high score of 150. Six
of the forty girls were graded A.
This is a reverse of the usual con
dition, where the girls usually score
stronger than the men. In this case
13 boys were graded A out of CO and
only G girls out of 40 secured the A
grade.
An excuse is only a poor substitute
for as apology.
. NOTICE TO READERS
This publication went to press
this week some hours earlier than
usual so that the men of the office
might enjoy the Thanksgiving

OCT! UIIEEK
MAYOR COUZENS
MADE SENATOR
BY G HOES BECK
Mayor James Couzens of De
troit was appointed as the United
States Senator from Michigan to
day, to succeed Truman II. New
berry, reiigned, the appointment
having been made by Governor
Groesbeck early today.
The appointment of Mayor
Couzens to the senatorship had
been freely predicted for the past
several days by Republican leaders
of the state. ,
Through hb appointment he will
become Michigan's senior senator
March 4, when Woodbridge N.
Ferris becomes senator. He will
also take precedent in the senate
over the newely electd U. S. sen
ators, which is a matter of import
ance to Michigan at this time with
many new senators going to
Washington in March.
Well Known Resident
Died Here on Monday
Paris Robinson, for the past eleven
years a well known and highly re
spected resident of this city, and a
former merchant in Champaign, Ill
inois, died soon after 7:00 a. m. Mon
day morning at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Lyle McKenzie, Cen
ter street, after an illness of some
weeks. He was 79 years of age.
Mr. Robinson was a member of the
Masonic lodge and was a Knight
Templar, and also a member of other
organizations.
The funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon at 230 at the
home of his daughter on Center
street, and that evening the body was
taken to his old home in Champaign,
lllipois, for burial.
OFF YEAR" ELECTIONS HELD
TO SHOW REVERSAL FROM
PRESIDENTIAL YEARS.
The Republican majority in the
present House is 1GG. The Republi
can majority in the next House will
be 15.
This recalls a similar reversal un
der the Wilson administration. The
1012 elections which made Mr. Wil
son a President by a minority vote
of the country gave to the Democrats
a majority in the House of 163. In
1914, although the opposition to the
Democratic party was still badly di
vided the Democratic majority was
reduced to 20.
Small majorities are the rule in the
House and Senate. The ebb and flow
of the political tide naturally affects
the Senate less, because the six-year
tenure of office enables its members
to bridge over the temporary up
heaval that so often completely
change the political complexion of j
the lower house.
An example of that is afforded by
the period of years covering both ad
ministrations of Cleveland and the ad
ministration of Harrison. During
this period the House swung from
one party to the other, but the Senate
remained Republican, although its
Rpublican majority was cut to a nar
row margin of two for the terms be
ginning 1887 and 1889.
Surprising as it may seem, the
United States Senate was Republican
every term from the Civil War to the
term which began in 1915, with the
exception of the one term which be
gan in 1893. In that year the Senate
stood 44 Democrats, 38 Republicans t
and 3 independent. The Democratic
Senate of that term was swept into
power with the second election of
Cleveland in 1802. The .Republican
landslide in 1894, however, restored a
Republican majority, the Senate
which convened March 4, 1895 stand
ing 42 Republicans to 39 Democrats.
The present Republican majority of
21 is larger than ever in the history
of the Senate with the exception of
five terms beginning 1901 and ending
1911. The Senate which convened
in 1001, elected at the time McKinley
was elected the second time, had
a Republican majority of 27 with
three independent. The next two
Senates, had Republican majorities of
20. The largest Republican majority
ever obtained in the Senate was 30
under the Roosevelt administration.
The barometer of political majori
ties in the House is very interesting.
It refutes the common belief that
majorities rfs a rule arc very large.
The year Garfield was elected the
Republicans carried the House by 22.
The off-year following his election
they lost the House the Democrats
carrying it by a majority of 81. Clevc
land's election in 1884 gave the Demo
crats a majority of 44 in the House.
The off-year following reduced that
majority to 17.
Benjamin Harrison defeated Cleve
land in the campaign of 1888, one of
the most closely contested campaigns

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LEATHER
COMPANY WILL BE NAME OF
ALMA'S NEW INDUSTRY.
Will Locate in the
Carburetor Plant
Announcement has been made here
of the formation of the Central Mich
igan Leather Company, which is to
have its headquarters in this city, and
which will give to Alma another in
dustry of promise.
It is the intention of the new com
pany to manufacture the well known
Spanish upholstering leather, which
is used extensively for furniture and
automobile work, etc. There is a
wide field for such leather and the
product of the company is expected
to find a ready market as soon as
manufacturing can be put under way.
G. L. Barnhart of Grand Rapids
and Lyle Barnhart, a teacher in Alma
High School, will be the principal
owners of the Central Michigan
Leather Company, which has secured
quarters in the carboretor plant in
the northwestern part of the city. G.
L. Barnhart, who comes here from
Grand Rapids, has had considerable
experience in the manufacture of this
brand of leather, and he will have
charge of the manufacturing end of
the business. Lyle Barnhart will have
charge of the administrative end of
the concern. For the present he ex
pects to retain his connection with
the local schools.
The company is expecting that its
machinery will be here within the
next week or ten days and that in
less than three weeks operations will
be under way.
Vandals Visited
Alma on Thursday
On Thursday evening of last week
some irresponsible individuals visit
ed this city and made their way to
Alma College where some acts of
vandalism were committed, paint be
ing spread on four of the brick build
ings of the College and also on the
athletic gate at Davis field.
On two of the buildings the paint
was fairly easily removed, but- this
condition did not obtain on the others
because of the rough finish of the
brick. The painting consisted of
signs relative to the approaching
Mt. Pleasant Normal-Alma College
football game.
President Crooks of Alma College
is of the opinion that the painting
was the work of irresponsible indi
viduals and did not represent the
sentiment of the students at the Nor
mal. He said that no protest httd
been made to the Normal authorities
in regard to the matter, but that
they had been given word of the ac
tion, because of reports that the
vandals intended to return on Fri
day night.
These reports prompted the Col
lege to have the campus patroled
that evening, but the vandals did not
re-appear.
Numerous citizens of Alma have
expressed themselves rather forcibly
in regard to the act of vandalism
last Thursday evening, and express
ed the hope that such work by ir
responsible individuals would cease,
and not be a means, perhaps of sever
ing athletic relations between the two
two institutions of central Michigan,
which have always endeavored to
maintain cleanliness in their meet
ings in athletic events, regardless of
rivalries.
Newaygo Schedules

COMPANY
Plan to Check Pea
Louse Crop Damage
Effective control measures for the
Pea Louse, insect pet which caused
heavy losses in Michigan's pea crop
this year, were the aim of a confer
ence of state entomologists and can
r.ers held recently in Chicago.
With the canning pea industry val-1
ued at more than thirteen million '
dollars in the United States, and at!
four hundred and fifty-five thousand
dollars in Michigan alone, losses by
the pest have assumed serious im
portance in the state's agricultural
program.
"The Pea Louse causes losses of
from a small percentage to almost
total loss in the crop," says Prof. R.
H. Pettit, M. A. C. entomologist who
attended the Chicago meeting, "and
its damage in Michigan ran to large
proportions this year.
"There is no control measure now
in which the expense is not prohibit
ive, but our plans are to find a prac
ticable method. A tentative plan has
already been mapped out which will
include co-operation with the U. S.
Department of Agriculture in insur
ing safe production of sufficient sup
plier, of canning peas."
A GREAT SERVICE
JOIN THE RED CROSS TODAY
BEFORE THE ANNUAL ROLL
CALL COMES TO N END.
Seventy-two disasters, in which 074
persons were reported killed and 521
injured, called for emergency relief
measures and the expenditure of
$1,441,480 by the American Red
Cross during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1022, according to a state
ment made public by its officers
based upon the forthcoming annual
report of the Red Cross. These dis
asters caused property damage esti
mated at more than $30,000,000, and
rendered more than 145,000 persons
homeless or otherwise needing assist
ance. In'one section alone, the Louis
iana-Mississippi border, the Redj
Cross for weeks fed over 35,000 flood
refugees daily.
Tho greatest toll of life was taken
by hurricane and tornado, while the
overflowing of rivers, the breaking
of dams and torrential rain storms
drove the greatest number of people
from their homes. Fire played an
important part in the chain of dis
asters which made insistent demands
for Red Cross relief workers.
The year's disasters reported, for
which the estimates of killed and in
jured are considered low because in
only about one-third of the instances
were dead and injured mentioned, in
eluded 20 floods, 10 tornadoes or
storms, 15 fires, four epidemics, two
theatre collapses, two shipwrecks
(one an airship), a bridge collapse,
mine explosion, railway collision and
a drought.
In the states of the middle west
during the year, the Red Cross has
given disaster relief in the Illinois
flood, after tornadoes in Wisconsin
and South Dakota in forest fires of
Minnesota and in drought in Mon
tana. The year has seen further perfec
tion of disaster relief administrative
measures in every field, and that the
work may be carried on to still great
er accomplishments the American
Red Cross is appealing for a world
wide renewal of membership during
the annual Roll Call which closes on
Thanksgiving Day. In Chapters
throughout the country the equip
ment and trained relief workers to
cope with local disasters is always
ready, and the system of communi
cation makes it possible .to consoli
date relief measures without loss of
time for use in great emergencies
which might occur in any part of
the United States.
Show your Thankfulness by joining
today before the drive comes to a
close. Your local chairman will be
glad to accept your membership to
day. Michigan TB. Death
Rate Ranks Sixth
The state of Michigan can congrat
ulate itself on tho fact that it ranks
sixth in the list of eleven registration
states having tho lowest tuberculosis
death rate in the country. Thirty
four states are registered and only
eleven of these have a rate of less
than 100 deaths per 100,000 popula
tion. According to statistics recent
ly compiled by the National Tubercu
losis Association, Utah, Nebraska,
Kansas, Montana and Vermont show
the lowest tuberculosis death rates.
Michigan comes sixth in the list. The
death rate for that state for 1921 is
71.G per 100,000; representing a de
crease of 27.9 per cent since 1008,
the year in which the Michigan Tu
berculosis Association was organized.

Large Sale Looked
For in This County
No organization is more clearly do
serving of the support of every cit
izen than the Gratiot County Good
Health Society. This society is af
filiated with the Michigan Tubercu
losis Association, and is now engag
ed in the sale of Christmas Seals in
order to raise necessary funds to
carry on the work of the association
during 1023.
The state association is a part- of
the national organization, and has
for its objects:
1. Dissemination of knowledge
concerning the causes, treatmeht
and prevention of tuberculosis.
2. Investigation of the prevalence
of tuberculosis in Michigan and the
collecting of useful information.
3. Co-operation with the public
authorities, state and local board of
health, the National Tuberculosis As
sociation, medical societies and other
organizations in approved measures
adopted for the prevention' of the dis
ease. 4. The promotion of the organiza
tion and work of local societies in
all parts of Michigan.
5. Securing adequate provision for
consumptives by encouraging the es
tablishment of sanatoria, hospitals,
dispensaries, clinics, open air schools
and preventive work among children
and adults.
0. Securing the proper legislation
to promote the relief and prevention
of tuberculosis.
It is cbvious that the carrying out
of this program calls for the expend
iture of a considerable sum of money,
yet the sole means of financing th
work is through the sale of Christ
mas Seals. Once a year, the public is
asked to contribute to the fund of tho
assoeiation, and to a very large ox
tent, its activities are limited or ex
tended in proportion to the amount of
money available.
Tuberculosis may be prevented by
the exercise of tho proper measures.
It may be cured by the application
of proper treatment. The crusade
ggainst the white plague is one in
which we all have a deep, personal
interest. Any organization which
centers its activities on stamping out
a disease so insiduous and deadly
merits generous support.
The Yuletide season is a time for
giving, during which one should not
overlook the opportunity of making
a thrice blessed gift to humanity
through the purchase of Christmas
Seals.
Beginning on Thanksgiving Day,
the local committee will begin its so
licitation among the business men of
the city, and will continue their cam
paign until the holiday season is
over. The drive for the sale of the
tuberculosis seals will be waged vig
orously in every section of the
county.
The committee in charge of seal
sales in Alma is composed of Mrs.
Joseph Winslow, chairman; Mrs. H.
M. Glass, Mrs. Frank Hanley and
Mrs. Ben McCulough. Dr. Graham
will solicit- the medical profession
throughout the county, and Mr. Ross
Mitchell will promote the sale of
seals at Alma College. The general
chairman of the county is Mrs. V. II.
Shepard.
