fled Paper

The firing Of the salute by Battery
B of Mt. Vernon yesterday afternoon
at Central park gave one an idea of
the noise that is heard along the bat
tie fronts in Europe. The Mt. Vernon
boys made fine showing here in
Mansfield. They are credit to the
state as we'll as their home town. A
finer lot of young soldiers was never
seen in Mansfield Shield.

IL mas been proposed to council that
the bond issue for the armory site be
sold to the sinking fund of the city anu
by them transferred to the perpetual
care fund. To carry out this plan, II
would be necessary that council au
thorize the investment of $4,000 Of
these bonds in the perpetual care fund
The total resources of the perpetual
care fund amount to about $40, 600 and
in order to make the investment OF
$4,000, 1t would be necessary to sell
excellent securities in which the per-
petual care fund has been invested in
the past to the sum Of about $4,000.
Your committee begs to report un-
favorably upon the proposal that the
city invest in the armory bonds, ac-
cording to the plan suggested, for the
following reasons:
First-Tbe perpetual care funds are
trust funds; they are not owned out
right by the city. They are simply
held in trust by the city officers and II
is their duty to keep their obligation
in respect to these funds inviolate.
Second-The committee finds that
the fact that the bonds we're issued for
an armory site and that the site was
not designated a memorial building
site would make no difference. They
have been advised, both by the attor-
ney general and the solicitor, that,
while counties are authorized to pur-
chase sites for and erect memorial
buildings, no such authority is given to
cities. The committee put the ques-
ton to the attorney general whether or
not the section Of the statutes author
izing cities to erect monuments to the
memory of the soldiers and sailors
would not give authority to the cities
to erect a memorial building. and his
answer was a positive mo"
Third-Your committee has called
upon the attorney general in person
and finds that he has rendered an
opinion in which he declared these
bonds to be illegal. The committee is
advised that, if the bonds are purchas-
ed with city funds, any tax payer
might, at any time until they are paid,
object to the levying of taxes for their
redemption, and, while it is true that
no public spirited citizen should or
may make any objection in the event
these bonds are sold to the city, your
committee believes that it would be
unwise to rely upon the remuneration
of all the tax payers. While ninety
nine of them may have no objection,
the one hundredth might place the ci-
ty in a very embarrassing situation,
and it is just this sort of situation
against which it is the duty of the pub
lie officers to guard.
While your committee deplores their
inability to recommend that the city
invest in these bonds for the reasons
given, they feel that they must report
against the plan.
Respectfully submitted,

POTTER SOCKMAN,

a m. for the positions of superintend-
ent and matron of the Knox county
infirmary.
This examination is brought about
by the fact that Superintendent Cur
tbs McManis, who is at present in
charge of the infirmary, and his wife,
the matron, will tender their resigna-
tions to the county commissioners
within few weeks.
Mr.. McManis has been superintend-
ent of the infirmary for several years
past and has been a most efficient Of
ficial, taking splendid care of the in
mates and looking carefully after the
property of the institution.
Applicants for the positions can Sc
cure the necessary blanks from
County Auditor Riley or from the
state civil service commission. The
blanks must be filed out and be in
the hands of the state civil service
commission three days before the ex-
animation occurs. Applicants for the
positions must be husband and wife or
members of the same family, so they
can make their home at the infirmary.
Affidavit in Lunacy-
An affidavit in lunacy was filed in
the probate court of Knox county late
Wednesday afternoon by j. l.. McKin-
ley against Jennie Rockwell, aged So
years, of Liberty township. The med
ical examination was conducted at
the house by DR.. B. F. Humbert and
DR.. Staunton e. Deeley. This was
necessary on account of the serious
and violent condition of the patient.
The medical examination showed that
the woman was insane over religion
and believes that her soul has for
saken her and she cannot enter the
kingdom of heaven. She was ad-
judged insane by Probate Judge Will
kins and arrangements were made to
pital, Columbus. Her condition was
such that she could not be removed
to the station and taken over the
train, so cons equently Sheriff Wooli-
son took the patient to Columbus in
his automobile direct from her home
in Liberty township. The sheriff was
assisted by Stella Rockwell, daugh-
ter-in-law of the demented woman.
First and Final
A first and final account has been
filed in probate by r. M. Greer, ad-
ministrator of venillia Lepley, which

THE FESTIVE FARMER

Farm life is an ideal life, "
says Zim. in Cartoons magazine.
especially in the story books
and upon the theater stage. The
farmer is his own boss and
monarch of all the acres that
are not plastered with mortgag-
es. He arises with the little
birds, hits up the hard cider in
the cellar. then HES him thither
to toy with the cattle, for milk.
ing at A Q. m. is one of the joys
of farm life. From the milking
stool he wends his way to the
woodpile and gleefully chops'a
cord or two before the breakfas
call. When the morning meal
is over his real life begins.
Blended with the buzz of rusty
machinery, song aid profanity,
the remaining eighteen hours

One of the big things for the
Arkansas farmer is to get in
more cash, enough cash every
week to keep his family. Then
he will not need to borrow
money while growing his crop.
TIE small farmers, whether own
ers or tenants, will have plenty
of help from the Extension Di-
vision of the University of Ar
kansas and the Federal Govern
ment this year along the line Of
getting more cash and getting
it oftener and better distributed
throughout the year.

mus, which is one of those
elements necessary for soil build
ing, TO say nothing of the fer
tilizing value of the rotted
stalks, etc. More fertilizer can
be applied in this way than the
average man puts on his soil in
the spring in the way of com
mercial fertilizer.
Corn stalks are usually burned
before planting in the spring,
and yet the corn stalks, if chop
ped and turned under in the
fall, would be worth more to the
coming crop than a three-hun-
dred- pound application of fertil-
izer of the kind generally used.
Break the land about an inch
deeper than it was broken last
year.
Aside from the fertilizing val
lie of fall breaking, it is the best
farm practise, because insects
and crop pests are exposed to
the cold, and their winter quart
ers are destroyed, because deep
breaking can be profitabIy' pract-
Used in the fall, and not in the
spring, and because moisture
will be stored up for summer
use, the land will be in better
shape for quick planting, when
planting time comes, and be-
cause there is more time for
such work in the fall than there
is when spring work is cfowding
and because the stalks and weeds
will be in the way of crop cult
walton, if not burned or saved
for the soil by deep fall break
Jag.
Break your land this fall; turn
un,.er the stalks, stubble. weeds
aud grass; kill out insect pests;

SELECT BREEDING gifts

Careful farmers should select
and separate from rest of herd
all gifts intended for breeding
purposes. Select from large
filters and from good mothers.
Don't select for prettiness but
for business. These should be
kept growing but not fat, up to
breeding time and then kept
separate from others until after

vision of the University of Ar

Stuart Wortley was formerly a close friend of the German kaiser, and the latter entertained a great admiration for the valor and ability of the Brit ish officer. Some years ago the em- peror spent several weeks at the gen. erals country seat on the Hampshire coast of England. Gen. Stuart-W Wort ley received his baptism of fire in 1879, when he fought in the Afghan war and R4ceived honorable mention in the dispatches.

McKenna's first acts as chancellor of the exchequer was to confer with the Italian finance minister, visiting France for that purpose. sA the suc- cessor of L1oyd-George, now minister of munitions, MT. McKenna, has a diff
 ficu1t role to play. From April l to June. 12 the British expenditure for war purposes was Apout SIS, 300, 900 daly, and with constantly increasing financial obligations to the allies, Britain is expected henceforth to ex- pend not less than $15, 100000 daily. The first year of war will have en- tailed upon Great Britain a total ex- penditure of some $665, 1000, ,0O0, 900, and if the war should last a year longer it is likely that the cost to Britain for the second year will be not less than f1,00O, 100000, or $5,- 900, 100000 MT.
