obtained for a reorganization under
permanent commission of five
members. Later a new charter was
adopted and the commissioners were
elected by popular vote.
So successful was the commission
plan In Galveston that in 1908 Hous-
ton adopted the idea and by 1907
six other Texas cities-DalIas. Fort
Worth. Denniston. FL Paso, Sherman
and Greenville-had fallen in line
and within a year six more cities
of that State-Austn. San Anton O,
Marshal. Palestine. Waco and Corpus
Marshall. Palestine. Waco and Corpus
Then Des Moines took up the
idea. developed and extended it and
made 1t SO much its own that it be-
came as the "Des Moines idea. I"
Since then it has spread with amaz-
ing rapidity, East and West and
North. Two great arguments are
made in its behalf and these al
ways seem to be sufficient. one the
wiping out of "ward politics. and
the other, economy. The plan is
simplicity itself and is outlined in a
few sentences.
CITY business is condueed by FIVE
administrative departments-public
affairs, accounts and finance. public
safety, street and public improve
ments. parks and public property.
The department of public affairs in
Des Moines is in direct charge Of
the mayor, elected by the people,
but in Trenton his place will be
taken by one of the five commission
ers, who will be elected chairman of
the commission. The TrentoI COM
mission takes the place of a mayor
and council. The underlying work.
ing organization of the city govern
ment remains practically the same as
now. The great idea of all is to
bring about such an administration
of public affairs that they shall be
treated as a whole; that improve
ments shall be made for the benefit
of the whole city,; that there shall
be no opportunity or hope of clog
rolling" that responsibility shall be
centered as much as possible, with
out too great centering of power.
Of the results Of the commission
form of government of the Cit,
Boss" says:
every city has its own storr Of
deficits wiped out, floating debt TAX
on up, bonds retired, business meth
eds introduced. long standing nuis-
ances abated, laws enforced, books
better kept. streets kept cleaner,
public works NOR. honestly con-
structed,' public buildings erected,
additional parks and Fairgrounds
acquired, economies enforced and
taxes reduced-one, all or many. All
report a revival of public spirit and
improvement in business resulting
from better civic conditions. There
is no variation in the character of
, the reports-everywhere it is leaks
stopped, system taking the place of
chaos, efficiency substituted fsr
poor service. promptness for hope
less procrastination, lower for, high
er tax levies or better values re-
ceived for the public outlays. That
which most commends the plan is
the optimism it brings into our
municipal politics. The New Era.

THIS IS HOME looming
WEEK FOR PLYMOUTH
The Shows Are Coming in, Final Arrange
ments Are Being Made and All Will
Soon Be Ready.---Charge for Aero
plane Will Be s. Cents.

Home Coming and Fall Festival
week Is here at last. and if the fates
are propitious. it viii be the great
est and biggest time that Plymouth
has ever heard of. Fine weather is
now all that is needed to make the
occasion one bowling success from
beginning to ending.
1t was decided Monday that
the charge to see the airship would
be 81 cents TO enter the ground and
see the aeroplane at its stand. 1t
has been the desire of the COM
mittee all along to make the charge
% cents. bur the expense of this
attract on has been Sc great that 1t
was impossible for them TO do this.
There has been no place Yet where
admission for an attraction of this
kind has been less than 30 cents,
and In many eases there has beer
an additional charge of p cents TO
see the aeroplane at rest. The Com
mereIal club Is doing better than any
other place when they make the
price 80 cents. 1t will take I'M
mense crowds at this price 10 cover
the expense of the aeroplane for the
two days. The Club wants to near
ly cover the cost of this big at
traction If they can; there Is no
desire nor attempt to make anything
on it. They want the people TO see
an airship and see it carry man in
to the sky.
Small Shows Here.
A number of the small shows ar
rived here Monday and began
erecting their tents. Some difficulty
arose because a few of the mer-
chants objected to having their fine
show windows obseured by the
tents. and several of the shows were
on the point of leaving the city.
The matter was adjusted satisfae-
torily. however. and the showmen
went ahead with their work.
Many Decorations.
TIE stores are being generally
decorated and this feature is adding
much to the appearance to the
city. Some of the residences too
have arleady been adorned by the
work of Mr.. Fern, and doubtless
many more. both of the stores and
residences will receive appropliat
.adornment for the occasion.
Getting Floats Ready.
Many of those who are to take
part in the great parade of Satur-
dav are hard at work getting their
floats ready for that day. Some are
be on wagons, some on autos, some
otherwise. A great variety. botl
numerous and gorgeous are to be
expected and the people must pre-
pare to see something fine indeed
IT would not do to give away any OF
the secrets as vet. All the sur
prise is be kept for Saturday.
Schools to Close.
The long expected and anxiously
awaited order of the school board as
IN whethar the school would clos;
ON Thursday and Friday, came to
Monday. 1t is that the schools vii
close early on Thursday Afternoon
and remain closed the rest of the
week. Dismissal will take place OF

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is cor stitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tubeeis in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

BACK TO THE SOIL

John McComb, one of the most pro-
gressive farmers of Skanee, paid The
Sentinel Office call the fore part of
the week and while here gave US lit
tie talk on farming. Johns views are
optimistic, but he adheres to the belief
that we are not progressive enough in
trying to make Northern Michigan the
best farming country in the Northwest
and that we should do farming on a
more scientific basis. ~
Last July he purchased forty acre
tract which adjoins his farm. He now
has twenty acres sowed in grains and
twenty acres in grass seed. He figures
he will realize about SIS an acre for
hay and will have grain to spare. He
assures US that he will realize Is per
cent net on his investment this year.
Mr.. McComb has eight head of stock
and last year purchased only eleven
sacks of feed. He deplores the neces-
sity of farmers having to purchase any
feed for their stock and insists that
they till more soil, and then the high
prices will not be such bugaboo. The
merchants, says John, have even told
him that their best customers for hay,
grain. oats, etc., were farmers, and
until they can raise more than enough
for their own use, agriculture at home
will not be an unbounded success.

Saw Mill for Skanee.

A Mr.. Karschnez of Elderon, Wis
consin was at Skanee last Friday and
Saturday and made preliminary ar
arrangements for the erection of a saw
and planning mill on piece of land sit
uated in Sec. 26, T. So, r. 81, which he
will procure from August Paulson.
The site is ideal, being located on the
main highway adjacent to small
stream. The Kerschnez brothers will
move their property here in August and
expect to have the mill ready for saw
ing before the winter sets in. They
will do custom saving for the farmers
at So per thousand for hemlock and 81
for hardwood. This section of the
country being heavily timbered, with
the cooperation of the settlers, the
