mittee Sum to be Paid
Judge ChurChman
CITIZEN COMMENDS
WORK OF COURT

Following the regular meeting Of City
Council last evening the members adj
iourned to Mayor Howells Office. where
they met as committee of the whole.
At this meeting the members decided TO
increase the salary of Municipal Judge
Philip O. Churchman. They dl1 not,
however, decide upon the amount OF she
increase, but left the subject to the
Council finance committee, which viii
meet next Monday night
At the meeting of Council last even
ing letter was presented by Council
man Stover, which he had received from
George b. Miller. urging favorable action
upon Judge Churchman'S request. In the
letter Mr. Miller stated that he had OBJ
served closely the actions of Judge
Churchman since he has been in Office,
and was greatly pleased at the frmness
and justness with which he conducted
the Office
Dignity and good order prevails there
now which has been lacking for many
years Mr. Miller stated in the letter
lie believed the judges salary should be
granted. inasmuch as the population OF
the city has greatly increased during
the past thirty Ses . which means the
Judges work has also increased. while
during that time no increase has been
made in the salary attached TO the Of
fee
IL IS generally conceded that the city
Judge shoNld receive at least $500 an
n nuallv. Just what Council Will agree
upon. remains to be determined but il is
thought they will be able to give the
citv Judge $500, which will be the
same as the city solicitor receives.

BATTLE AXE BUDGET.

Would like to swap wire worms and
cut worms for a good rain. Had a
shower last week, but rather too light
to meet the demand. r'
Mr.. Kelley, a government entomol-
ogist from Kansas, came last week
at the instigation of our state COM
missioner, J. H. Page, to investigate
the wire worm condition, with the
view of trying to aid our people in
getting rid of the pest. He carried
away liberal supply Of the worms
end promises to go at once to work to
learn more about the worm and enter
upon some experiments looking to its
determination. While these worms
are scattered over more area than
they were last spring, they do not
seem to be as destructive in any par
ticular place. Also, few are found
this spring where they were most nu-
merous last year. 1t is the current
opinion here that it follows the whip
poorwill pea, being most numerous
where peas were raised last year.
