Total
Board Passes Resolution.

-
The following resolution passed by
the board of safety which will go 10
the council with the petitions for in
creases in pay is as follows:
"As to the matter of increases OF
salaries desired by the various de
partments as set forth in petitions
addressed to the board of public safe
ty. mayor and common council, the
board OF safety would state that it Is
pleased when all the employees of the
city in the departments under its SUI
pervision are paid salaries as liberal
as the growth Of the city n the taxa
ton conditions warrant. 1T would
stsre further that under ordinary con-
ditions il might consider some basis
of increase at this time.
However, il is not necessary to
make an extended investigation 20 as
certain that industrial and
cial business of all kinds, practically,
are not able to pay normal salaries az
he present time or for some time past,
cot TO mention an increase IN salary,
but for self-preservation, are COM
pelled to retrench in various degrees.
THE amount necessary to be added
to our taxes to take care OF the IN
creased salary as desired by these pc
titioners would be approximately ~
500. The amount received by tn fty
through taxation, for its general Va
Is aDDIOAlllldltig 9-oVfNNN'
would require an increase in or
10 per cent, or possibly a little more.
As a matter of fact if such increase
is made. it should be done when the
CITY grows in area and taxable Valua-
lions increase in such a name that
the amount received by the city would
approximately take care of the mat
ter without increase in rate OF AKA
ton.
No Change is Needed.
THE departments in question have
been operated at present salaries liked
bv the common council some years
ago. The applications on file in the
office of the board Of public safety for
positions in these various departments.
which signify that the applicant IS
willing to work for the present salary,
II would seem that they might be OPP
Grated for some time in the future,
particularly under present business
conditions, without change OF salary
masis.
lowing to the business depression
that has been upon us for some m
past. is with us now. and but little IN
dication of improvement In slght, IL
does not seem 10 be an OppOrtune
time to increase the salary basis.
However. if the mayor and common
council. in whom the power OF hNlng
salaries lies. should conclude that
nresent conditions. as well as the
financial condition Of the city, war
rants salary increases, h board OF
public safety will gladly see that such
amounts set aside for that purpose Is
properly distributed

MOUTH AND HOOP
DISEASE NEARLY
ALL ERADICATED

The farmers in this country have
come to the confusion that the U.
S. Government was right in the rig
id rule they have enforced in the ex
termination of the mouth and hOof
diseased cattle in this country. We
are reliably informed that thus far
the government through its We rim
arians have slaughtered and buried
in lime ~, 900 cattle, $1,000 hogs and
5000 sheep who we're infected with
this disease on the farms in q
states and the District Of Columbia
in all there being 2813 herd that
were infected
Out Of the total number Of herds
infected only II remain to be slaugh-
tered which have the disease. The
general condition throughout the
United State is good especially so in
the states Of Illinois and PennsyIya-
MIA, two of the worst infected states
in the union with this disease. Wis
consin is now all cleaned up. Gov
eminent veterinarians are. going from
farm to farm making a final and
careful inspection for any signs of
this disease in exposed or infected
areas. Everybody is delighted over
the efficient manner this contagious
disease has been extradicted from the
entire country. It goes to provewhat
can be done.

FARMERS AND ADVERTISING

The following actual happening
came 10 the ears OF tn ewriter the
other day. A physician with a large
and growing family decided to move
out into the.country to save expenses
In order to help out on his income,
he started IN poultry raising. He
had had no experience whatever at
i. and the farmers Of the neighbOr-
hood laughed at him. TheJ thong
he would soon retire from the com
petition, with more experience and
fewer dollars.
The doctor, however. made quite q
study of scientific poultry raising.
One Of his IDEAS was. to.use printers
ink freely. He inserted with his de
iveries Of eggs a printed CIRCULAR
telling the public about his methods.
He emphasized the cleanliness and
sanitary condition OF his poultry
house. He spoke Of his care to feed
the fowls a well balanced ration OF
both grain and vegetable food. He
told Of the care taken to sort the
eggs Tor size, color and cleanliness,
and he guaranteed a given weight. PEI
dozen.
The farmers Of rhe town were sell
ing their eggs to the country store
for a small price. Probably the store
had to SEN to a wholesaler. and
they may have had to go through SCI
cal hands. The doctor, selling at
a little better price than the far
mers were getting.at.the store soon
picked up a good trade in the near
est large towns.
In a short time he was cleaning
I'D the whole product Of his poultry
ward at better prices than the men
were getting who had monl1eyed with
chicken raising all theri lives.
