Why Dayton Changed

"A Charter Primer" issued by the Bureau of Municipal Research, removes a popular impression that the Dayton, Ohio, commission manager form of government the direct result of the dis astrous flood of year ago. It is explained that a movement for such charter had been begun six months before that disaster and two months before the flood the movement had acquired considerable momentum The flood itself only an additional, though not necessary argument in favor of the need of an honest efficient and responsible gov ernment
 The Dayton revolution its beginning in complaint that the annual expenditures were in ex- cess of the revenues; inadequate control the of employees; the excessive cost of city sup plies the failure service to conform to specifications and the neglect of city officials to undertake active leadership for the welfare of the community. Surely, there enough reasons for wanting a change the of government.
 Though it is not mentioned by the Primer, we suspect that the desire for a change was bred in the ever present comparison of the unbusiness- like methods of the city government with the bus- ness-lke methods of the greatest of it's private en- terprises and one of the most admirably managed in the country for the daily comparison of the business of Dayton with this private business which had made Dayton famous, the old order might have continued.
 It was the more plainly realized that Dayton really had no municipal government In that respect it was different from most American cities. The elected officials rulers and not servants. Sure of their positions for stated period, they and as well as employees of the city did what they pleased and neglected to do things that ought to be done.

Farm Notes

Every farmers home should contain an ency- clopedia. You can buy set of 37 volumes for $1 down and r cents day. Terms-al of $l0 under, cash all S10, years time on bankable notes at per cent. There is no bracing intellectual tonic than dose of er- cyclopedia fiction just before bedtime. Before buy ing a work of this kind that it includes Advice to the Lovelorn, the Use and Abuse of Bunions and a Ready Letter Writer The later editions also contain entertaining and instructive chapters on How to Wiggle into Society, Proper Treatment of the Toothbrush. When and Where to Drink Out of the Finger Bowl Hip Boots Aid to Full Dress A who digest section of the Encyclopedia Britannica without shredding his brain cells need never fear senle dementa. In our opinion, up- date encyclopedia is necessary in the home a standard croup remedy.
 What is the that the duck is not more popular the farm? She is an accommodating and sociable bird and her only handicap is her gait. A prominent incubator house writes that they have overcome this by introducing a brand Of duck with waddle to it's tajlfeathers than a handcar It is a peculiar fact however, that you can take duck and deposit her setting of hens eggs and she will hatch out brood goslings with gait like side delivery hay rake The average duck ought to wear toe weights and a high check. This would improve her knee ac- tion and make her fully ornamental soft shirt at church wedding
 The medical fraternity look solemn member of the petit jury over questions which the average could settle in his sleep. Just now the British Medical Journal is engaged in contro- versv over the inquiry Are Prunes Responsible for Appendicts?' We see how man who tries to rim his appendix with a whirling prune pit might be slapped onto the operating table before he had time to change his sockst but as a producer and begetter of the genuine, hand -sewed appendicitis the grape seed makes the prune LOOK about as dangerous a deaf mute at a spelling match If you happen to inhale a few prune pts in a moment of abstraction, a coal oil chaser Will afford instant relief.

OLD AND NEW MARKET SYSTEMS

It must be patent to the most casual observer by this time that there is underlying principle difficult analyze in the plan of regulating the present-day scheme of marketing farm products. The question already has been approached from nearly every angle without much making dent in it. Politicians and so-called statesmen have attempted it without avail. We'll meaning but misguided members of the Housewifes league have instituted boycotts to correct real or imaginary evils in the system. State legislatures have passed laws to regulate the question and con- gress in it's wisdom has established the office of markets, with the same objects in view.
 It predicted that when the federal govern ment took up the matter of marketing farm pro- ducts definite would be obtained. yet months have passed since the office of markets created, adjunct to the department of agriculture with a suggestion of bettering conditions The new bureau been i the hands of able and ample funds provided to meet any reasonable eX- penses incurred in the work yet not one idea been suggested by which the old method or sell ing food products can be improved. It may be, of course that sufficient time has not elapsed to de- veop a workable plan but it is certain that far the office of markets has failed offer concrete proposition of any kind.
 And the lower houses of congress has de- cided appropriate only s200,0OO this work in1 stead of $1,OOO,OOO, had been requested This acton may have been determined by lack of confidence in the probable result on the part of the congress- but it is certain to be looked upon in that light by few. It seems more probable, how ever, that the house of representatives was of the opinion that S1 ,000,O0O large for the legitimate dutes Of the new bureau, especially during its formative stage, and this conclusion likely the governing influence in deciding upon the small appropriation.
 In the meantime the old system of barter and trade with all of it's real imaginary evils appears to be the best human ingenuity devise and under it the producer and the consumer proSperlng fairly we'll
 After all the marketing of farm products intelli- gently and successfully in the interest of producer and consumer is not game to be played by inex- perienced professional politicians ignorant spell binding orators but rather by the experienced who knows the game whose heart is in it "A hours a day and who enough to a lasting incentive. Truly, the successful distribution and marketing of perishable fruit and produce calls for captains of industry of the highest class-From the Packer, the leading produce journal in America.
