More Reasons Why We Want a Change.

On Saturday, March IA, 1914, l made
two visits to the city clerks Office to
find out the cost of street work for
last year, and found it to be about ST.
4l9: items as follows S946. 90 paid for
labor, $753. 90 road poll tax, and about
$72O. 90 to street commissioner. Now,
what have we got to show for 1t?
l also found where the city was
charged for work that was never per-
formed. and that the clerk did
acknowledge that street work was
rotten, and that the present admins
tration have had knowledge of the fact
for at least 8 months, and have failed
to rectify the cause of this extrava'
gance. l also found that the taxpay.
ers could well afford to pay for an
itemized statement of all charges
against the city if the amount exceeds
$40 that goes in to make up the
miscellaneous account which you will
notice runs up over $500 in the past
reports.
These and other causes, such as the
quarry deal, &C, are the reasons the
people are so persistent in demanding
a change of officers at the election
Monday next. l think if the present
city administration claims the credit
for the enhanced value of all property
in town and surrounding country, they
should be charged back with all losses
such as the hog cholera, tuberculosis,
and all other diseases in man and
beast. A rule should work both ways.

DECIDE ON 1915 FAIR
WILL LAST SIX DAYS
Sept. 20 to &c Fixed at Meet
ing Saturday Night-SCope
Will Be Enlarged Same
Committee Retained.

Nishawaka IS 20 have its second
country fair next year for which the
dates were fixed at a meeting OF the
north side merchants late Saturday
night. The fair will last six days and
will be held the week Of September
2O-26
Impressed by the success which at
tended the event OF the past week no
time was lost IN deciding on plans for
next year There will be no formal
meetings for some months as yet, but
in the meantime tentative plans will
be formulated at informal meetings
which will be held on the north side
from time to time during the winter
months
At the meeting Saturday night the
feeling among the merchants was
unanimous for another celebration
next year on even more generous
scale. Entries will be confined to st.
Joseph county, II being felt that there
IS sufficient enterprise among the
farming community around Mtsha-
waka and South Bend TO draw even
larger entries than was sent IN this
year. 1t has also been demonstrated
10 the committee that the farmers Of
this section have the exhibits to make
the fair a still more attractive one.
and that, given plenty Of time TO pre-
pare their displays In live stock and
products OF the farm, they will assist
in making next years fair even a
grearter success than the one or last
week.
In the meantime efforts will be
made to secure comOdious grounds
which will undoubtedly be required,
and with this object In view the COM
mittee which had the arrangements
Of this years entertainment in hand,
will be continued with Ed Went as
chairman.
1t is already planned to make the
prize list OF the 1916 exhibition even
OF greater attractiveness than this
years. and the scope OF the exhibits
will be very much enlarged.

REV. 0RMOND breaches
TEMPERANCE SERMON

Temperance sermons were preached
by several Of the ministers Sunday IN
connection with the campaign now
being waged throughout the country.
Rev. A. c. Ormond, pastor OF the First
Presbyterian church. prefaced his re-
marks by saying that vigilance was
needed TO keep our example and our
Influence pure. No person could ne
glect his personal conduct and fail
to suffer for II. The eve Of God is
upon us and sees all; so the eyes of
the world see all God sees the exact
truth OF our acts, but the world sees
only the appearances.
answering integrity was absolute
ly necessary to wholesome example
and pure influence. This required
wise walking, but paid incompatible
dividends
At a union temperance conference
in England. Rev. G. Garrett said an
occasional glass might not harm one,
but might harm others. Lack of suf-
ficient thought was the cause Of many
errors In living, and in advice for liv-
ing. Many lives have lost their value
TO the world because someone did not
think enough about their conduct or
about advised conduct Side stepping
Is dangerous to one who walks in the
narrow way. In conclusion Mr.. Or
mond told the large congregation that
their assistance might be a determin-
ing factor in the success or failure Of
this campaign that is now on for the
betterment of the county or state.
