CHICAGO MAY RADICALLY
CHANGE GOVERNMENT
Under New Plan Mayor Would BE

Other Reforms.
. Copic Service.

Chicago, Oct. I5.-Radical reforms in
Chicago's system of municipal govern
ment are proposed In a bill prepared by
the Chicago bureau of public efficiency
and made public today. 1t is planned
to introduce the bill at the next session
of the Illinois Legislature.
Under the new plan. proposed. the
mayor, who would virtually be city
manager. though that term is not used.
would be chosen by the city council
without fixed tenure, subject To removal
by the council, and would he the admin
stIative head OF the city government
The mayor need not necessarily be a
resident of Chicago. He would prepare
the annual city budget for submission
to the city council. name all heads OF
the departments without council con-
frmation, except the city clerk and the
comptroller. who are to be chosen by
the city council.
The city clerk and city treasurei.
would cease to be elective officials.
The status OF boards created by stat
ute. such as the board of education and
civil service commission. would remain
unchanged. Al present. the mayor is
elected Dy the people Tor a four-year
term, with no provision for removal ex-
cept as an incident TO conviction in
court on criminal charges.
The city council under the new plan
would consist of thirty-five aldermen,
one from each ward. elected at the same
time for fouryear term, subject to
popular recall. At present the city
council consists Of seventy aldermen,
two from each ward elected for two
year terms.
The mayor would retain his veto pow
er under the proposed change although
the veto could he over-ridden by ma
jority vote.

IF THEY WON'T LAY-SELl
Poultry Expert Tells How to Select
Vigorous Stock.

Weed out the star bOarders" from
your flock that feed can be used more
conservatively.
With eggs at 45 cents dozen and
bidding fair to sell for twice that
amount before winter is over it is time,
right now, to figure how to get the
most eggs from your poultry flock for
the high priced feed they are being
fed.
One expensive practice is to give
high priced feed to fowls which will
never lay enough eggs to pay for this
feed.
The process within the hens body OF
egg making is manufacturing proc
ess. Raw material in the form of
grains, mill run, green feed, milk in
its various forms, grit and oyster shell
should first be supplied in sufficient
quantities. These are taken into the
body and passed through the various
organs which prepare these feeds so
that they may be made into flesh,
blood and eggs.
A fowl, in order to have these or
gans, or machines, in the best work
ing order must first of all be strong,
vigorous and in good health. A weak,
unhealthy individual cannot convert
feed into eggs and what little feed is
put into a proper state must go to re-
pairing the weak, sickly body.
IL is therefore highly necessary to
get rid of all weak. unproductive
chickens so that they will not consume
any more high priced feeds. There
are certain outward characteristics
which may be used to separate the
weak from the strong individuals. A
strongly constituted fowl will have a
short, stocky. deep head with com.
paratively short beak. The neck should
also be stocky. Viewed from the side,
the body should be rather long and
deep in the rear From the front the
body should present = wide and full
appearance. The legs should be set
on the outer edge OF the body rather
than underneath and should not be
knock -kneed. The back should be
broad
4 healthy fowl will take pride in its
appearance and will look sleek and
clean. A sick fowl will have a rufflea
up appearance. The toe nails are a
good indication Of vitality. A strong
chicken will always be rustling and
scratching and in doing so will wear
the toe nails blunt.
The habits OF the fowls indicate
their egg producing value. 1t is the
chicken first OF the roost in the morn
ing and last to bed at-night which is
producing the most profit in eggs for
the feed consumed. The star boarders
or drones can usually be found loung
Ing around the roosts along in the
middle of the morning
A flock culled out on the above in
dications will prove profitable winter
egg producers in spite OF the high cost
of feed
It should also be borne in mind that
pullets or hens OF any value will be
hard to buy this fall and winter and
under no circumstances should produc
ing females be sent to the market oil
killed. Those who sold good females
this spring will be the losers this
winter.-Harry Embleton. professor o.
