they must be elected on the Tues
day after the first Monday In No
vember, as provided by section 122
Of the Constitution. But this mat
ter was fully discussed before the
committees of the Legislature to
whom the charter was referred,
especially the committee appointed
under section 81 of the Constitu-
ton, and heard no doubt express
ed as to the authority of the Legis-
lature, under section 1872 of the
Constitution, to fix the time OF
election of this board on the sec

a precaution which was observed
in the passage of the Norfolk
charter.
This feature of our new charter
had the almost unanimous support
of our people. The press of our
city supported 1t. and, az | recall
1t, the councils of our city recon-
mended 1T unanimously.
may safely say it had, without
question, popular support, and al
though our Board of Control has
had many difficulties to encounter
since 1t took charge under our new
charter, such as the necessity of
acting under the old ordinances of
the city, which have not to this
time been reformed SO as to fully
mt the new order of things, and
many others, which it would be
improper to put in print but with
all the difficulties 1t has had to en-
counter, 1 think 1t mas been sue
cess, and l believe our city has
y saved much in the administration
of its affairs.
Don't Reduce Council.
see you are discussing some
plan for reducing the number of
your City Council to, say, SIX mem-
bers, by reducing the number of
your wards. Our commission went
over all that ground, and It consid-
cred 1t unwise to do some such
thing, because the City Council as
the legislative branch of the city
government, had charge of the levy
ing of taxes and appropriation of
the public moneys, together with a
great I1dHS i~ltlNiah5 2
to- the general government, sucl
as the framing and passage of. ordi,
nances. and it considered that II
should be so constituted as to be
representative, as far as possible
This could not be accomplished
by having a small number OF wards
and a small representation from
each ward. When one begins tc
work out city government on any
such line, with the veto power o.
the Mayor. he Will soon find tha
his city would be governed by 9
Lord Mayor. The great strength
Of municipal government Is not II
reducing representation in the City
Council, through which the people
speak. but to get the members
elected to realize the Importance OF
their legislative duties and func'
tions. and their obligation as citi'
zens to render willing and efficien
service when called to do soto Sc
a high standard of duty for them
selves and hold all the paid agents
of the city to the same high stand

MOUNT GUARD IN BASKET.
Korean Soldiers Take Things Easy
While on Duty.

THE Korean Tommy Atkins mounts
guard curled UP in basket filled with
rags and cotton WOOL" says an ex-
plorer of that queer country. Even
at the royal palace one sees this
curious sight. The Korean warrior is
not a giant; on the contrary, he is
diminutive, only little over five feet
in height, or. even less, so that the
round basket which contains him is
made only about four feet in diameter,
and three and half feet deep.
I'm the inner enclosure of the royal
palace two soldiers are placed on
guard at a time, and the baskets are
larger accordingly. The two warriors
contained in them squat or curl up to-
gether like two birds in nest. Their
guns are generally left standing some.
where close by; but when the position
to be guarded is a very responsible
one, they are nursed in the basket
with their owners"

Didn't Like His Tombstone.

w. w. Mayes of near Thorn
who is in his eighty-eighth year h.,
sued his daughter, Mrs. Eliza Givens,
for $3.50, which he claims he loaned
her, to be returned when he requested
1t, says the Columbia Herald. -
Mrs Givens Acknowledges that the
money was paid to her to purchase a
tombstone and to meet her fathers
funeral expenses, at his death. The
imoney' was given to Mrs. Ovens years
ago, and II wasin golf Recently Mrs.
Givens bought a monument for her
father for use when he should die,
paying $50 for IL, and her father saw II
and approved of the bargain. But
lately he changed his mind about the
matter, and the action was recently
taken, ipto, court. The jury awarded
plaintiff judgment In the amount of
$50. defendant TO pay the costs.

Too Rapid Growth.

The minister's six-year-old son Is OF
a very critical, literal turn of mind,
and his fathers sermons sometimes
puzzle him sorely. He regards his ia
Their as the embodiment of truth and
wisdom, but he has difficulty in har-
monizing the dominie's pulpit utter
ances with the world as 1t really Is.
His parents encourage him to express
his opinions, and clear up his doubts
as much as possible. So one Sunday
at dinner, after a long period of
thought, they were not surprised when
he said gravely: Papa, you said one
thing in your sermon to-day that !
don't think is so at all"
We'll, what's that, my boy?" asked
the clergyman.
why, papa, you said the boy OF
to-day is the man of tomorrow.

WHEN WAGES WERE LOW.
Salaries of Long Ago Really Larger
Than They Seemed.

Columbus" said an antiquary of
Chicago. got salary of 1920 a year.
less than a dollar a day His cap
tains got $3.50 a year apiece. His
crew got 1925 month. To equip
the expedition that discovered America
cost $4,000. The total cost of discov-
ering America was $1,000.
Lawyers nowadays, especially cor.
poration lawyers, think nothing Of
earning million year. In the reign
of Edward w, a baronet entered in
his diurnal, or diary:
Paid to Roger Flypott, learned in
the law, fer hi, his counsel, three shlll-
ings, with four pence for his dinner
Ministers often make to-day $40 900
or 1000 a year. The late DR.. Tai
mage made 100000. Yet John Knox
only got $220 a year, or 81 week,
and that was a dollar more week
than Scottish judges got.
Small salaries, those" concluded
the antiquary; but we must remem-
Der that in that epoch there were no
trusts to initiate prices, and dollar
went a long way. In fact, Christ
mas dinner for family of six would
have cost, in John Kpox's time-for
the turkey, 10 cents; cranberry sauce
cents; potatoes. l cent; turnips

cents--total II cents, or less than
3 cents a head"

sufficient to cause the average farmer
In the states to look TO the north with
envy, says the Seattle Post-Intellis
gencer. Dat hay, the chief crop pro-
duced, yields about three tons to the
acre and sells readily in the spring at
from 500 to 1925 per ton. Demand
has never been lacking for all the hay
the farm produces, since the Dawson
White Horse stage line, on which from
$50 to 400 horses are used every win
ter for several months, passes within
a few miles of the farm. Potatoes
yield from three to five tons to the
acre and bring as much as rs cents a
pound. The average price for series
of years has been a fraction over 20
cents a pound. Rutabagas yield six
tons to the acre and sell for cents a
pound, or 1920 an acre. Carrots yield
three tons to the acre and sell for Is
cents a pound, return of 5000 per
acre. Cabbages vary in productin,,,- 70 ~
season, ranging ffs sooTn three to EIGHT
spssS TO the acre, and the price ranges
from Is to 20 cents a pound. 1t is an
exceptional season when the Swine
hart farm does not net its owners an
income of $4,000.

A Gun Of Tea For the Deity.

in impressing upon the little girls
mind the idea that God was ALWAYS
with and watching over her.
The little girl was busily engaged in
giving a tea party. She had set two
dolls at the toy table opposite her and
had placed a cup and saucer in front
of each OF them There was an extra
cup and saucer at a vacant place.
She poured the tea first into the
cups before each doll. Then she came
to the cup at the vacant place and
paused. because there was no guest

ligious teaching, her face frightened
and she said:

FEW GOOD MegRscHAUMs HERE

American is through smoking he
knocks his pipe on the heel of his
shoe to remove the ashes, shoves 1t in

Now, in the old country, a man
takes his pipe seriously-very seri-

last him a lifetime and then be in
good repair to hand down to his heir.
