A lengthy hearing was held by the
Pouncil committee and city legisla-

rosel amendment to provide for the
Felection OF registrars and inspect

Ind the senior police justice.
Aid. Jacob Guthard and Herman
link opposed the proposition. in.
fisting that the registers and in
fpectcrs ought to lie selected by the
people.
PIiny Marsh. secretary OF the Citi.

Phe proposed smen6ment. arguing
that IT would cepter responsibility
Ghere the white light OF publicity

lion commissioners could rot abuse

That present ward and precinct con-
laitiops warranted change. The
league Is now circulating an initia.
Tory petition to have the amendment
placed on the fall ballot.
"The argument that the people

inspectors Is a good one. theoretical
1y." said Marsh IF the people
wiuld take sufficient interest In the
city's business to see that proper
men are elected TO Office, then that
argument would be good, The
trouble is that the citizen voter is
careless. and he allows" the other
fellow to run things. The result Is
we have controlled precincts.
Alex j. Groesbeck. member OF the
mayors charter committee, spoke
In favor Of the amendment. Judge
Hally said he feared he amend
ment would place TOO much power
In the hands Of few men. The
amendment will likely come up for
discussion again at tie next meeting

PIG TROUGH IS A NECESSITY
For Large Animals V-Shaped Device
viii Be Found Durable and Con-
Vcnient-How II Is Made

The pig trough is n very necessary
equipment. For large hogs Il very
durable and economical trough is Il
N-shaped one which can be made of
pieces by 10 and by S, but for the
younger pigs smaller pieces should be
used. Care should be taken in max
ing them. If they are too high the
pigs cannot feed conveniently. If too
low, the pigs will get into the trough
in order to get the feed.
The trough set in fence, parallel
to It, is a very satisfactory arrange
mcnt. swinging panel can be hung
above the trough. A latch slipping
crosswise ut the center Of the panel
makes it possible to swing it in and
fastcn it, thereby shutting out the pigs
until all the feed is put into the
trough.
The pig trough should be kept clean.
A thorough Scrubbing occasionally will
be an advantage to the animals health.
If the trough is set on !: cement feed
ing floor there will be less dirt and
filth.

the jar and allow its top to be some.
what below the bottom of the tunnel,
should be made. The sod may then be
replaced over the excavation SO as to

ing along the tunnel falls into the jar
and cannot climb out. Success depends
much on the skill used in placing the
trap.
Repeated leveling of mole ridges on
n lawn by means of roller not only
tends to discourage the animals from
making further incurSions, but pre-.
vents the soil from drying out and thus
iniuring grass roots.
