THE PREPOTENT BULL.
Value Of the Pure Bred Sire In Improv
ing the Dairy Herd.

Value Of the Pure Bred Sire In Improv-
ing the Dairy Herd.
The value Of high class dairy bull
in grading up and producing a herd of
cows that will yield a large quantity
Of good quality milk is well appreci-
ated by all who have ever attempted
this grading up process, says the Kan
sas Farmer. A Kansas farmer who
three years ago paid $175 apiece for II
dozen high grade Guernsey cows can
show figures which tell the story of
how these cows have more than paid
for themselves each year since their
purchase. and dozens Of other instances
might be cited
The remark that "a pure bred bull is
a wonderful educator" was made years
ago by Hiram Smith, one Of the great
est thinkers Wisconsin ever produced.
1t remains for us Of more recent day
to see the force Of that timely sugges-
ton. To go into community where

A. WALLIN, PROPRIETOR

Rudyard Kipling's verses written for
Sir Philip Burne-Jones' striking paint
ing, ''The Vampire" were the result of
much labor and persistent pursuit of an
idea that had long proved quite elusive.
When it was finished and Burne-Jones
expressed obligations for it Kipling
wrote delightful letter, presenting
him with the copyright. 1.-THE verses

The Commission Form

The petition asking a special cleo.
ton to determine whether Aberdeen
shall change from the ward council.
manic to the commission form of gov.
eminent has been filed and the spe-
cial election will be called next
month. The question will be put IN
to the people squarely, whether they
desire to continue the present anti.
quated system, which is being discard
ed all over the nation, or adopt the
plan which has proved itself far SUI
perior to the ward system and a num-
Der of councilmen.
-Four years ago, when Aberdeen by
slight majority, refused to adopt
the commission form under the then
new Allen law, the refusal was due
to a fear that the new law might
not prove practical Since then a
number of cities have operated un-
der this law, and the fact that it has
not been amended in any particular
has proved it's practicability. We
have the example of our sister city
of Hoquiam, where it is working very
satisfactorily. No system within the
power of the human mind to con-
ceive, will meet with the approval
Of everybody. 1t is not claimed that
the plan provided by the Allen law
is perfect, but l do claim that where
operated it has been proved more ef-
ficient and at less cost than the pres.
ent system.
Its adoption means step forward
in the application of modern bust
ness methods to the conduct of NUM-
cipal affairs. 1t concentrates respon-
sibility in the city government and
exacts accountability from those ad.
ministering it. 1t abolishes the old
ward representation plan under po-
litical party designations, and pro-
vides for three commissioners, elect.
ed by the city at large on a non-par-
tisan ticket who receive salaries which
justify the devotion of their entire
time to the business of the city.

CHANGES IN FORCE

Edward Smith resigned from the
Aberdeen police force January l, after

of the city, takes his place on the

also has resigned. Mrs. Ida Scho-
field, police matron, was sworn in

actually working one or two hours

ing at night, and his matter is refer
red to a committee; the committee
very likely meets in another week
and refers the matter to the street

in the course of time reports to the
council. On the other hand, the COM
mission is on the job eight hours a
day six days in the week, and an emer-

mediately by the commissioner in
charge of the department concerned.
Commission government does not
increase power-it increases respon-
sibility. The commissioners are, as
matter Of fact, prevented from the
exercise of such harmful powers as
granting important franchises, or en-
acting hurtful or unwise legislation,
the latter through the referendum.
