COMMITTEE TAKE EXCEPTIONS

COMMITTEE TAKE EXCEPTlONS.
In the last issue of the Press. Broth
er Ram quotes from an article sap
pearing in the state papers" and makes
certain comments thereon. AS the
item appeared in The Democrat in Its
issue Of December Goth, before it ap-
peared elsewhere, we wish to take
exception to the comments in the
Press. The Press says, "The reader
will observe an error in the above
with reference to the per capita cost
OF poor relief in the county, which is
set forth as $3.50. Faulty division
accounts for this, as the sum should
be ga cents and fraction" We will
allow Howard to pose as the head of
an automobile university but we ques-
ton his right to teach us mathemat-
les. It was stated that the total funds
expended for poor relief in one form or
another in Delaware county in 1915
amounted to, 27,6O9.47. There were
1854 people in the county in that
year and the Press says our division
is faulty and the true amount per
capita is trifle over Ga cents. We
haven't access to the table of logar--
ithms used by the Press but sccord-
ing to the old arithmetic, the amount
per capita would be something over
s14s or approximately s1.50 as was
stat. Il.
Brother Ram further suggests that
emoyal from the hospital at Independ-
ence of ten inmates will lessen the
burden because the expense at Inde-
pendence is much heavier" than at
the Poor Farm. According to the fig
ures in the Financial Report there
were 81 inmates at Independence on
December 31st, and the cost per quart
er is approximately the same each
quarter so that it may be assumed that
81 was near the average number. Yet
it costs the county only $6,642.52 for
the year, or, if 81 was the average
number of inmates, about $179.50 per
inmate at Independence as against
about 1910 at the Poor Farm. The
striking discrepancy in the cost OF
maintenance at the two institutions
was one of the points that stood forth
as calling for investigation and we
trust discussion of these matters will
continue until more efficient sys-
tenn for expending the public money
is devised.

DIR. WILSON RESIGNS SECRETARY
SHIP.

Following the Commercial club dim
ner at Sramek's restaurant last even
ing DR.. Wilson offered his resigna-
tion as secretary of the organization
which was accepted to take effect as
soon as another secretary can be Sc
cured The duties Of the office require
much time and DR.. Wilson feels that
he should devote this time to the calls
of his profession. He has been an
active and enthusiastic secretary and
maintained an active interest in his
work. He will continue to act until
another is selected. 1t is the plan to
secure the services of practical man
who can devote all Of his time to the
duties of the office.
A meeting was held later at the
court house and the proposed change
in the city government was discussed.
Numerous speakers offered ideas and
information on the subject and all
evidenced lively interest in the sub
ject. At the conclusion Of the dis
cussion an expression of ideas was
called for by vote. There were IS
who favored the old or present
system, sitxeen in favor of the new or
commission and manager plan and
forty-two who wanted more light on
the subject The meeting was edu-
cational and there will doubtless be
others held with the same object in
view. There seems to be enough SEN
timent in favor of the change to war
rant submitting the whole question to
a vote of the people as provided by
law.

State Fair Asks for New Buildings.
The state agricultural society at its
annual meeting voted to ask the leg
islature to appropriate fund suffi-
cient to construct large cattle barn
to accommodate at least 1000 head of
cattle; to extend the horse barns so
as to do away with the wooden struc-
ture; to double the size Of machinery
hall as originally planned so that there
will be room for an automobile ex-
hibit; to extend the amphitheater both
eastward and westward. The legis-
lature will be asked by the state fair
association to provide for the mainte-
nance Of the fair ground guildings, as
it does for all other state institutions.
w. B. Barney, state dairy and food
commissioner, appeared before the
board to urge that a recommendation
for a dairy building at the fair
grounds be included in the report to
the legislature
w. l.. Kuser, superintendent of the
industrial school at Eldora, outlined
to the fair board the plan of the
board of control of asking the legis-
lature for an appropriation to erect
two permanent buildings to house the
exhibits Of the sixteen state institu-
tions at the state fair. The board gave
the matter hearty Endorsement. 1t
was suggested that not less than
$25, 900 will be needed to erect perma-
nent fireproof buildings suitable for
the state exhibit.

RUSH HOUR FOUND

The microbes will get you if you

Ing OF a scientist, who has let it be
known that they have u rush hour in
the morning and afternoon just the
same as the commuter and the sub
way dweller. According to evidence
adduced by him . o'clock in the
morning, and from to 3 in the eve
ming is the time of principal danger
from myriads Of microbes
BY obtaining samples of air both
indoors and out, this scientist con-
Quoted experiments to determine when
friend microbe went abroad in search
of whom he might devour. He learned
that at about o'clock in the morning
the microbe legions began to gather
for the days harvest. From that
time until 3 O'Clock they swarmed the
outside air in constantly increasing
hosts And from 9 o'clock until 3 in
the afternoon they dwindled. At the
latter hour there were fewer of them
on duty than at any other time Of the
day. But the rush soon started again.
and by o'clock every able bodied
microbe in creation was waiting for
the cOmmuter.

Mexico City.-The close feeling of
friendship between Mexico and San
Salvador has been demonstrated re-
Gently by the efforts made here and
throughout the republic to raise
funds for the alienation of distress
among the sufferers from the earth
quake of the latter country. The
Mexican Chamber of Deputies has APP
propriated 10000 pesos for the earth
quake sufferers and many commercial
and labor organizations have made
large contributions. A fair held here
to raise funds for this purpose was a
brilliant success socially and finan-
cially.

Paper Discloses Plot.

New York. July Papers seized
in the offices Of Wolf Won Igel, secre-
tary of Captain Franz Won Papen gave
the government proof of German plots
to foment uprising in India and Ire
land, it was learned here tonight. The
information it was said also had an
important bearing upon the arrest OF
Sir Roger Easement.
Federal officials were reticent re-
gardng the information involving Sir
Roger Easement. Nothing could be
learned of this phase of the conspira-
cy except that the evidence was i'm
portant.
The Won Igel papers brought about
the arrest and indictment of Dr. Err
nest Sekunna, a Prussian chemist, and
two Hindu students at Columbia uni
vresity, Chandra Chakraberty and II.
l.. Gupta, on a charge of setting on
foot in this country a military enter
prise against a friendly nation.
Both Hindus admitted they had re-
ceived large payments of money from
German agents. Sekunna and the Hin
dus are under heavy bail awaiting
trial.
The Indictment charged the three
men with dispatching Chinese to
China to purchase war munitions.
which were to be sent secretly to rev
olutionists in India.
