Several improvements are under

A new 80. foot steel tower, sur
mounted by a steel tank, with a
capacity of 10000 gallons, will also
be erected near the power house.
The old tank has not been in the

Thomas D. Schall Speaks.

Thomas D. Schall, tile progressive
candidate for congress in this dis

at Brands opera house last Friday
evening. He gave his views on the
issues Of the day. and denounced the
Underwood tariff as inimical to the
farmers. He stated that the repub-
lican party had outlived it's useful
ness and promised to do his best for
his constituency if successful at the
polls. Mr.. Schall's voice was some
what husky: owing to excessive
speaking of late, but he delivered a
forceful speech, and was attentively
listened to by the audience. The
following day he spoke from an auto
mobile near the Townsend corner. to
a number that had congregated
there. This was the opening gun of
the fall campaign, and as yet there,
does not appear to be much interest
in political affairs among the voters.

plants sufficient for 20 acres. The
seed is sown in cold frames about the
middle of April the frames are
covered with thin cloth that keeps
out the cold but not the moisture );
the first week in July the plants are
set out in the field in rows about 81
feet apart; cultivate and keep free
from weeds. Barnyard manure is
the best fertilizer. The plants are
gross feeders and need a good rich
soil to thrive in, but will do we'll in

leaves can only be used for filters

tobacco is cured in drying sheds and
must have plenty Of air. When

the county fair and will be glad to
give information in detail to all who

The Union is convinced that there

farmers who know how to raise it.
Anyhow, the farmer who goes about
the work right would not risk much
in planting two or three acres each
year. What Mr.. Stromland has
done others can do.

provided for in the charter.
4. Section 1348 provides that upon
the delivery of such charter the gov
erning body of the village shall cause
the proposed charter to lie submitted
at the next general election there
after occurring within six months
after the delivery of such draft, and
If there be no general city or village
election within six months, then a
special election is to be called. FL H.
5. Section 1858, provides that in
case. the voters adopt the proposed
charter. the new city so organized
shall in all respects be the legal sue
cessor of the village and all ordi-
nances, resolutions and bylaws of the
village in force at the time such
charter is adopted, and not in con-
fiCt with the charter, shall continue
in force until altered or repealed.
Of course the village organization
continues in force until after the
adoption of the new charter and if
the new charter so provides, until
such time as by its terms it is to
take effect and an election held for
the selection of the officers provided
for by the new charter. That is,
am of the opinion that charter
could lawfully provide that it should
not take effect until specified time
in the future, and that in case of its
adoption an election should be held
after it's adoption and before such
time so specified for the selection
of the officers therein provided for.
I am also of the opinion that if a
village had voted against license, the
adoption of a charter would not affect
the right Of the successors in inter.
est of the village, j. e., the city, tc
license the sale of Intoxicating
liquors until an election on such
question had been held within the
territory. OF course the same
would be true where the first vote
was in favor of license. Yours truly
