The members of the council, and ee-
peclally those most directly in charge of
the construction of the new city hall,
have expressed themselves as entirely
satisfied with the official tests of the
building made publicly last Wednesday
in answer to the charges of citizens
that the building was not being con-
structed in accordance with the speci-
fications of the contract and that being
the case the majority of the people of
the city will be content to abide by
their decision at least until such time
as further evidence to sustain the
charges made is made public if that
time ever comes. The representatives
of the taxpayers in the council are re-
sponsible to them for the manner in
which this contract for the city hall is
carried out and as they have accepted
the work complained of on the tests
carried out under their own supervision
and that of experts hired by the city
the aldermen must be pretty well salts
fed that they are in the right. This
investigation Of the building has been
productive of good in one way. The in
terest that will be taken in the build
ing by all of the aldermen and many of
the people of the city, especially those
IN any way connected with the building
trades, will not be purely perfunetory
from now on but all of them, including
the contractors, will be on the alert to
see that there is not the slightest de-
Walton from the contract and specif-
cations in any way.

A Proclamation by the Governor.
The labors of the husbandman have
been blessed with abundance. The crops
Of our fields have been garnered, and
we are assured Of plenty and peace for
the coming year. The general health
Of our people is good. Education is
making progress as never before. Our
homes are more numerous, our factories
larger, our business increased over a
year ago. The brotherhood Of man is
coming nearer day by day. Labor and
capital are approaching daily more and
more their mutual rights and obliga-
tions.
For these and other blessings we
should acknowledge the goodness of Al
mighty God and invoke His aid in all
our public and private undertakings.
Therefore, I, J. o. Davidson, COVER
nor of the state Of Wisconsin, in ac-
cordance with the proclamation of the
President of the United States Of Am
erica, and by authority of law, desig-
nate

he administration of the affairs Of
Municipality. In the first place, Sky
craper city had no unemployed to
rovide for. 1t had no prisons. no
poorhouses, no hospitals, nor any OF
the many other public institutions
that are part of the average American
city. And, furthermore, it was not
periodically rent by political strife.
The population. nevertheless, was a
most exacting one and in this respect
Skyscraper City was unlike the aver
age American municipality. In most
communities the people will stand idly
by and see the politicians divide the
loot of ofiiceholding without even
looking to their personal interests. In
Skyscraper City. however. let win
dow be broken, let the voice OF a radi-
ator be raised in plaintive protest
against too much steam. or let the wa
ter supply be affected by too little
pressure and the mayor is instantly
besieged by angry constituents de-
manding this or that officials removal
from office.
These were some of the annoyances
that had wearied Skyscraper City's
chief magistrate. Even while he sat
back In his chair. gazing at the cell
ing and bordering upon the designs
In the decorations. the chief of police
walked in and announced that he was
SO unfavorably impressed with the
people at No. 1911 Fifteenth street

forced departure.

law or other" he exclaimed indignant

and the chief of police withdrew ex-
ultantly. making way for the head OF
the health board.

tary, x md there is leak in the sew

The mayor was still endeavoring 10
determine which individual design In
the ceiling would hit him on the nose
we're 1t to fall, or which particular de-
gign his nose would hit If he were to
rise and meet the ceiling. and the
health board nfncer went out.

INFECTION IN THE PRISON
Peculiarly Favorable Field There for
the Spread Of the Scour9e
Of Tubet .ulosis-

Only twenty-one prisons in fifteen
states and territories have provided
special places for the treatment of
their tuberculous prisoners. These in
stitutions can accommodate, however.
only 800 patients. In three-fourths OF
the major prisons and in practically
all the jails of the country the tuber-
culous prisoner is allowed freely to
infect his fellow prisoners, very few
restrictions being placed upon his
habits. When the congregate mode OF
prison life is considered, the danger OF
infection becomes greater than in the
general population New York and
Massachusetts are the only states
where any systematic attempt has
been made to transfer all tuberculOus
Prisoners to one central institution
The largest prison tuberculosis hospi
tai Is in Manila, where accommoda
tons for 200 prisoners are provided
The next largest is Clinton prison hos
pital in New York, which provides fol
$50.

SEED
CORN At ONCE
Is the Advice of DR.. Working
to Harrison County
Farmers.


Prof D. W. Working of the agricul-
turaI department of the WEst Virginia
University at Morgantown has sent
out the following Information to far
mers as to when and how to select
seed corn:
ANY old time Is not the best time
to select seed corn. The best time Is
rlow-even before the corn Is fully
ripe. The next best time is when
the corn is being husked, but before
II has had a chance to freeze or be-
come wet by the fall rains. Seed
chosen and protected with great care.
lege OF Agriculture OF the West Viz
ginia University.
Why should corn for seed be select
ed in the field before it Is fully ripe?
why not in the crib when the choice
ears can be choser2
In the field. in September or octo-
her. the Earmer can select hIs seed
corn from good hills and good stalks.
Every intelligent farmer knows good
hill or corn: and ne also knows
good stalk. 1t may happen that stalk
that is only moderately good will pro-
duce a well developed ear because 1t
stands alone where it has an excep-
tional opportunity to get liberal sup
ply OF plant food and sunshine.
What the corn-grower wants is corn
thar Will produce abundantly under
ordinary field conditions, not the kind
that will yield well only under espec-
tally favorable conditions.
Having in mind what he knows is
a good hill of corn-one with from
two or four stalks. the farmer will
pass through the field looking for well
formed ears on strong stalks that are
part of good hills of corn. or course
the strong stalk in hill is one that
has vigor. 1t should not be too tall.
with its ear carried above mans
head; but should be outstanding and
vigorous, with broad and healthy
leaves And the ears should be ripe
early. In some parts of West Vlr-
ginIa the season is short for many va
.rtttIes of corn. BY selecting the ears
that rIpen early the farmer will has
ten the maturing of his next crop.
When the corn has been carefully
selected in the fields, so that the
farmer has weIl-chosen lot of sound
heavy. medium-sized ears from which
to make his final selection IN the
spring. the problem Of gathering and
keeping the corn will have to be
solved Perhaps the best way Is to-
cut each stalk that is found to have q
satisfactory ear, and to carry 1t with
Others to an open place and make a.
single shock or few shocks. Or, the
selected ears may be marked by cut-
ting Off the tasse1 or with a piece of.
colored cloth or Irvine and gathered at.
the regular husking time.
having taken pains to select his
seed corn at the right time. IT will
be natural for the careful farmer to
protect 1t during the winter and to
test it thoroughly in the spring before
planting, so as to be able to reject the
few poor ears that will he saved in
spite Of the greatest care.
