tSpecial to News and Observer
Wilmington, n. c., July 15.-Per-
haps the first movement in this State
to invoke any of the really new feat
ures of commission government is the
one just started in this city for the
purpose Of getting the city council to
reconsider an ordinance passed some
days since practically driving cows
out of the city limits. The comm:s-
sion act provides that a certain num-
ber Of days shall elapse before any
ordinance, except where the public
health is concerned, shall become eff
fective and il in the meantime petl-
ton signed by thirty-fiVe per cent OF
the voters in the last general prima
ry election at which a candidate for
mayor was nominated is presented to
the council, unless the ordinance is
entirely repealed special election
shall be CALLED and the people given
right to vote on the ordinance.
Those carrying around the petitions
say they expect to get at least 1900
or 1900 names where not more than
900 are necessary. 1t is thought Very
probable that the council will mOdi-
fy the law rather than require a Spe-
cial election to pass upon the matter.
The M notification, however would have
to be entirely satisfactory to the sign
have no option other than to repeal
the law entirely or call an election,
and the act does read that way.
A recent ordinance that does not
become effective until about the mid
die of August banishes hogs from the
city limits. For a long while hogs
have only been allowed on the out
skirts. Practically no protest has
been heard as to the hog ordinance.
T.. S. Licenses to Sell Liquor Issued.
Certain ones in this city who hold
either United States liquor dealers
license or malt liquor dealers license
are up in arms over an ordinance
passed by the council providing that
the police can search any place where
liquor or malt license is held. The
dealers declare that an effort to search
their place Of business will be resist
ed and that an officer making the at
tempt will not be gently treated.
MI j. Q. Beckwith, who has been
connected with the Atlantic Coast

Another consideration deserves
attention and that Is that reciprocity
Is proposed with a people who are
our neighbors, who are such Eco
pie as We are, who speak our Ian
guage, who have similar laws, Who
are engaged In similar occupations
and who are developing along sim

such people is not justifable unless
II offers facilities TO both that viii

When We look at the country I'M

TO reciprocity seems 10 be up 10 the
farmer. Is he willing 10 have the
| government enter into a trade agree
ment by which the development oil
the United States and the develop
ment OF the Canadian people shall
be furthered, or is II desirable 70

dams TO the actualities OF the present
day? II should be remembered that
the Canadian is one OF our best Gus
toners. We sell more to Canada
than we do TO any other country
except Great Britain. More than hall
of everything we sell goes to Eng
disappearing peoples.
Reciprocity is movement foI
more markets for the products OF
diversified industry from field and
factory, an enlargement OF the policy
of half century that has made on
home market, and brought the farm

We have sold TO her In the last ave
years about s500,000,0oo worth OF
goods more than We bought from
her, mostly factory goods. We feed

There is no prosperity for the farm

American watchword should still be
more factories and more diversified

Bay City Miller Would
Knock Down Tariff Walls

Tear down the tariff walls, re-
move every semblance Of duty and
let us forget that there Is boundary
line between u.s." said G. b. Chatfield,
owner Of large grist mill in Bay
City, Mich. in talking with The Times
on reciprocity between the United
States and Canada, while, he was at
tending the Wednesday afternoon
meeting OF the convention OF the
Fraternity OF Operative Millers OF
America In the Wayne pavilion.
There is absolutely no reason why
we should not have reciprocity with
Canada, and we would get 1t without
any difficulty II the politicians would
only stop harping on the dangers
which they profess to see In the
movement" continued Mr.. Chatfield.
Personally | am satisfied that no
harm can come TO US through the pro-
posed treaty. IL they can produce
anything in Canada more cheaply
than we can here, l say, by all means.
let us have IL. / don't say this be-
cause | think the millers In Michigan
will benefit to any extent by getting
Canadian grain free OF duty. For, the
making OF bread -four we now use the
Mol brand OF our northwest ahenI,
the same used by the big mills in
Duluth and other important milling
centers OF the Superior district We
get the northwest grain at a price
but little higher than that paid ny
the mills In Duluth. st. Paul and other
places In the northwest. We get II
at a reasonable rate because Of he
fact OF the water freight rate being
low between Duluth and Chicago. The
No. brand of our northwest Is re-
garded as being on a par with the
wheat of the Canadian northwest, SO
there would be little likelihood OF the
reciprocity arrangement hurting the
wheat trade OF the United States .
Wouldn't the farmers who raise
wheat In Michigan suffer by reel
procity?" Mr.. Chatfield was asked.
NO" he replied. The farmers OF
Michigan don't raise the kind of
wheat which might come in from
Canada. They raise a soft grade Of

tIementar, Agriculture in Our Rural Schools

The law requiring the teaching of elementary agriculture in the rural schools has been in force suf- ficiently long for us to begin to ex- pect results. Perhaps we expect results to be evident too soon, but our expectation has a tendency to center our thoughts at different times on the schools itself. We talk about school more, we lend greater assistance to our teachers. When we do so, we find out Wheth- CT or not they are teaching agricul- ture effectively, we know whether or not they are really training our boys and girls for their life-work which for the most part will be agricultural work.
 We must educate the child in terms of his environment to the end that he may be more efficient as man and to the end that his life may be made the fuller and the richer. Classical education is not to be despised, but the practical should and must assert itself.
 
 Nine out of ten children in the rural schools are destined for the farm. They are entitled to that education which will best fit them for their-work. The rural school must give them the fundamental principle of this education.
 Some people seoff agricultural teachings and agricultural schools. but the great majority of our peo- pie realize today that agriculture is a science and that farming is a business. Our adult farmers are studying agriculture as never be- fore. There is a great agricultural awakening in the State. We should reap great results from it.

 Commissioner of Agriculture.

perience and a practical training. Naturely, he is the one to whom the opportunities come first, be- cause he is the one who is prepared for better positions. From an ed ucational standpoint alone, two years experince as a stenographer in a busy office is worth as much as two years in any school.
 The Stenographer who enters a law office acquires a knowledge of law, whether he intends to or not. and in due time practices law. and dictates 10 another embryo lawyer thus, making room for others: if in a commercial institution, he be comes thoroughly familiar with the details of the buSiness. and be- comes manager or partner; if in a railroad office, he is promoted to positions of greater responsibility, which his work as a stenogragher or bookkeeper has fitted him to fill. This is not true in other profess ions. For instance, the teacher will work one year on a first grade certificate for $6O.Oo, and the next year he works for the same, and spend his vacation and savings in the summer normal in order to
 keep up." He does not have a chance to build himself up finan- cialiy and place himself in position for paying business.

days is to be revived. Manufacturers
have found that they have been losing
the valuable lessons which racing has
taught, lessons which the American man
ufacturer engaged in racing the past
three years has been learning and taking
to heart. A few years ago an American
manufacturer would have considered the
winning of Grand Prize race the great
est honor which he could possibly achieve
in the racing world, but the victories of
American cars. the past two years have
been so marked that it is doubtful If any
attempt will be made by an American

Use Pure Water in washing Cur.

There IS nothing better with which to
wash a car than pure water. A turkey
sponge and several pals of pure water
are all that Is necessary.
After the body has been flushed it
should be wiped dry with a piece OF
clean, dry chamois. Washing the car
IN the foregoing manner will tend to
harden the varnish and preserve its
luster.
Upholstery should be wiped over with
a damp chamois leather, taking care to
get under the tucks. 1t should then be
gone over with the channels nearly dry.
