ADVICE TO FARMERS
Young Agricultural In
structor Urges Farmers to At
tend the Short Course.

Farmers should begin to make prep
arations and arrangements to attend
the coming farmers short course.
The farmers are very fortunate to
have such worn as practical agricul-
ture brought to their front door with
such little expense 1t is an institu-
ton run on fair and educative bus
mess. Everybody has an equal chance
to win premiums. The judges are all
disinterested men as regards to the
prizes, but they are men of high rec
ommendation for the work they do.
Let us all get out and boost for such
an undertaking. Albert weiss.

Clarence Davis is circulating a Pc
tition among the business men and
property owners to have the council
set a fixed water rate and do away
with the sliding scale which is now
used. 1t is thought that if a fiat rate
is made to everyone that the price to
the consumer who uses only small
amount would be much less than it
is now. We understand that the pc
tition also asks for fiat rate for cleo
trio lights when the plant is taken
over by the city. The petition will
be presented to the council at an
early meeting.
