The use OF II. however. IN the way

Smith filtration system II the people

til Mr.. Smith appeared before the
board Of control and members OF
council and absolutely refused TO
make any guarantee as TO his system
Of any kind. I questioned him as TO
his guarantee and others questioned
him ~ TO his guarantee. but Mr..
Smith seemed TO think that ne was
securing his nackin here and he
could put over any kind OF contract
on the city OF Wheeling he chose:
and from that time on. so far as was
concerned. ] made up my mind mat
would not support his system ana
would not favor its adoption by our
citizens under any circumstances.
As business man and as an ofri-
cial OF the city I could not conscien-
tiously recommend the letting OF any
contract or any agreement 10 pur-
chase any kind OF work which Is not
accompanied by reasonable specirca-
tons. details and information. ana
certainly would not endorse n contract
or agreement TO spend S6fO. 900 with
out a specification or guarantee OF any
kind. and We have had no specInca-
lions or guarantee from Mr. Smith
concerning his filtration system.
l am not now making any night
against the Smith filtration system
and do not intend to. I am making
no night against these bonds. but 1
would be remiss in my duty n ! al
lowed my position TO be misrepre-
sented TO the people of Wheeling.
don't think the bond issue ought to

the department. oats sown IN the
southern states during October or the

pected to produce at least twice the
yield Of grain obtained from spring

Winter grain may be sowu on land

Every Reasonable Precaution Should

Fertilixing Qualities

Unless baruyard and stable manures
are well cared for, great part of
their value Is lost to the farmer.
Many farmers allow practically all
the liquid manure TO go to waste. yet
liquid manure contains more fertfliz-
ing value than solid manure. and
every reasonable precaution should
be taken 70 prevent its loss. The loss
from leaching is large and can be pre-
vented by the use Of good floors and
BY keeping the stock well bedded-
