Vote eyes" For Bonds.

There seems to be misrepresentation
on the part Of some Of the citizens re-
garding the bonds to be voted on the
18th of this month. These bonds are
not payable by taxes but through the
earnings Of the electric light and water
plant
When the Electric Light & Water
Commission asked for a bond issue of
100000 it was for the purpose of en-
1arging the plant on the old direct cur
rent basis, but after studying the sys-
TENS of applied electricity, it was con-
vinced that the time had arrived to
change the system from direct current
to alternating. This change cost con-
sirerably more money, so the ten thou
sand dollars did not prove enough to
make the change.
The Commission proceeded to make
the change with the aim in view that
the plant would take care of the extra
cost, which under normal conditions
it is believed it would, but abnormal
conditions have arisen, coal and all
other material used in the extension Of
lines, poles, transformers, etc., have
advanced to such ian extent, that it is
impossible to meet the operating ex-
penses and pay the obligations at this
time
AS the matter stands, the city owes
the amount Of the proposed bonds in
the form of outstanding warrants
drawing 6 per cent interest. These
warrants, when due must be paid out
of any money, that may be available
in the fund, regardless Of whether it
leaves the commission without work
ing capital or not.
1t is therefor necessary to trans
form these warrants into bonds, said
bonds to be payable at such time as it
will be possible for the plant to pay
them from it's earnings. The bonds
will draw lesser rate Of interest
than the warrants, so it is economy to
issue the bonds.
Vote for the bonds!

DIFFICULT. TO MIX FEEDS,
A More Scientific Result Can Be Pro

National Crop Improvement. seryics.]

National Crop Improvement servtcs.]
AS no two lots run alike, it is very
difficult to mix straight by-products
of oats, barley, rye, corn, cotton-seed.
faxseed, etc., by measure, because it is
purely guessing. Only few years ago
intentional fraud or unintentional
carelessness was the rule. Before the
feed laws were passed, each manu-
facturer adulterated all the trade
would stand.
Every car of feed sold to the con-
sumner is not analysed, and the farmer
cannot become feed expert because
he has no laboratory. Not one car
out of five hundred is officially in
spected. III the old days country
millers were throwing feeds together
with no knowledge of feed and were,
running valuable cows and making the
farmer poorer. In those days the feed
tables were wrong, the feeds didn't
fit the tables; the digestible analysis
method was incorrect; feed standards
for animals we're not agreed upon nor
complete; the animals didn't fit the,
standards; the buyer didn't know
what was in the feeds he bought to
mix; and there was an unavoidable
variation in the concentration of the
feed.
These conditions have been largely
overcome through the joint action Of
the government and state experiment
stations and the mixed feed manu-
facturers who have every facility for
maintaining a unltorm prouu... ~
using these scientifically prepared
feeds, many a herd has doubled its
yield, and profits. There are some

Of today have learned that mill-mhde
brands are much better than any.
thing they can mix with a paddle.
The same is true in fertilizers to a
great extent. In mixed feeds there
can be no economy in home mixing
because the mixing factories, being
near the large markets, can utilize
by-products to the very best advan-
tage. Home mixing cannot be accom-
plished. at one-tenth of cent per h.,
besides the result is never twice alike
and cannot be without the help of a.
laboratory.

Four Times Tremendous
Smashes Of the Enemy Are

NEW SUCCESS ON PAVE
Latins Take 300 Prisoners,
Hundreds of Rifles and a

Between the Brenta ard the Pave
rivers, on the northern front of the
Italian theater, the Italians are tenaci-

preventing his advance southwark to
the Venitian plain, the gaining of
which would threaten their entire
line along the Pave river southwark
to the Adriatic sea.
Four times attacks against Monte
Tomba, the chief position still block
ing the way from the billy country to
the plain, have been repulsed by the
Italians.
East of the Asiago plateau, the Ital-
ians are keeping up their offensive
against the invaders and have taken
more than 300 prisoners and a num-
Der of machine guns and several hun
bred rifles.
Along the Pave river the enemy
apparently has made no further effort
to cross the stream, after the serious
losses he sustained in being driven
back Monday from the Zenson bridge
head.
