iority of the voters who register to

special tax not 10 exceed two cents
on the 500 property valuation and
six cents ON the poll viii be levied
for the purpose Of paying the interest
on bonds, providing maintenance
fund for the school and providing a
sinking fund.
Throughout the entire county there
Is hardly heard dissenting voice in
regard TO the establishment of the
school The Farmers union is advo-
eating the school with all OF the
power that lies in the organization;
some of the most prominent citizens
and largest taxpayers OF the city are
taking an active interest in bringing
about the establishment OF the yalu-
able enterprise, and 1t appears that
the election Will be overwhelmingly in
favor OF this large step forward In the
betterment Of farm conditions in the
county.
