CONSOLIDATION
FOR MONTROSE?
Big Meeting Will be Held Wednesday
at Which Question of School
Merger Will be Con-
sidered.
[special to The Gate City.l

MONTROSE, Iowa. Dec. S--For
many years the people in the district
around the city of Montrose have been
talking of the great need of consoli.
dated school. Many have misunder-
stood the situation and have ex.
pressed desire to know more about
the plan. Accordingly through the
efforts Of the Montrose school board.
added by Prof Held of Montrose, and
Prof. Lynn, our county superintendent,
an opportunity is going to be offered
for the voters of the surrounding dis
trict to learn the why's and where
fores of consolidation.
Prof. Macy Campbell who for many
years has been the head of the con-
solidated movement of Iowa has been
induced to come to Montrose for all
day Wednesday, December 10, to talk
with the voters of this district. In the
evening Prof. Campbell will give his
very valuable illustrated lecture on
consolidated schools in the basement
of the high school building, beginning
at about $780,
All the parents and voters of the
district within a radius of five to
seven miles of Montrose are especially
urged to come. This lecture is merely
for the purpose of acquainting the peo-
pie with the consolidation system, to
find the benefits and the working
plan. No fee is to be charged Then
If enough of the voters wish the plan,
"a campaign might be launched for con-
soiidatfon.
1t is not known just how wide the
district would be if carried out, but
no doubt the school would draw for
distance of from five to seven miles.
This would take in the following
schools: The Montrose Independent
school; Nashville, (Beggs) school,
two miles southeast of Montrose; Val
ley school. 2 miles northwest of
Montrose; the Ambrosia school,
miles west; the Wright school 2 miles
south; Summitville school. miles
southwest; the Ashland school S
miles southeast; the Liberty school 4
miles northwest; and the Jefferson
school, miles north of Montrose.
There are many questions which
should be of interest to the voters.
For instance: What are the benefits
of such plan? What would be the
cost? Would the school be located in
Montrose or in the center Of this ter
ritory? They are questions which
everyone should be interested in.

The country really needs the heavi-

The people need to consume more
food and they need to wear more
clothing, which means that we need
to produce more food and apparel.
If our producing energy can get
busy and the fruits of toll can be

utterly senseless manipulation of
price levels, we shall approach stabil-

But something will have to be done

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT


Symptomatic Of general tendency
throughout the country toward more
stringent dealing with crimes of
violence is restoration Of the death
penalty in Missouri by the State le-
gislature. There is a, swing away
from a leniency that has sometimes
amounted to feeble sentimentaliy: a
realization of the need of drawing a
line between punishment that is
primarily reformatory and that which
remains chiefly punitive and deter
rent.
There is little danger Of any re-
turn to Over-severity or the savag-
cry of earlier days. We shall not go
back, for instance, to the state of the
Massachusetts, colony which had
twelve capital crimes, to say nothing
of the one hundred offenses punish
able with death of Blackstones enumer
alton. But there is a pretty general
feeling that hanging is a good thing
for some offenders.

Before demestication horns on

against other wild animals, but they
are not needed for this purpose
and are THE source of much annoy
ance. Horns are responsible for fire.
quent injuries to animals and to per-
sons caring for them. They are very
Objectionable on animals being hand
led frequently and at times when
they are brought together in large
number or when crowded for ship
ment Cattle without horns are u.s.
ually more docile and make better
use of their feed in the production
of either beef or milk. Such animals
require less space for housing, may
be fed and watered in the ordinary
manner, and thereby require less
labor in their care and management.
With the exception of animals in
tended for show purposes there is
every reason for dehorning. Dehorned
animals are found occasionally in the
show ring, but leading show animals
are practically all horned. The horns
add to the attractiveness and help to
show the characteristics of the class
or breed to which an animal belongs.
These points are very much desired
by the man in the show business, but
for ordinary business there is no
good reason. for horns. Horns on a
bull are extremely dangerous and
should be removed unless the animal
is to enter the show ring.
Dehorning may be done on the
grown animal by the use of the saw
or clipper, or on the calf with caustic
potash. If dehorning is to be done
with saw or clipper, the animal should
be at least one year of age after de-
horning unless the horns are properly
removed; that is cut sufficiently close
to the head. The horns should be
cut from a quarter to one-half inch
below where the skin joins the horns
leaving a rim of skin on the horn re-
moved.
The most satisfactory method of
dehorning is to use caustic potash
on the youn calf. To use this sue
cessfully it must be done before the
calf is more than three days old. The
hair should be clipped away from
1.-THE small buttons which may be felt,
and which are the future horns. Then
moisten a stick of caustic potash
and rub the spot with it until the
skin bleeds slightly. Care should be
taken to avoid getting too much
water on the animal, or it may run
down the head, taking off the hair,
and even getting into the eyes, with
serious results.

WAGES, STRIKES, FOOD PRICES

WAGES, STRIKES, FOOD PRICES
Expectations of general recession
in price levels with the ending of the
war have not been fulfilled One of tie
most discouraging phases of the early
reconstruction period is the multi
plicity Of strikes and demands for
higher wages in the face of the fact
that labor is being paid the highest
wages even known. And there is no
immediate prospect of relief from this
disturbing condition.
Primarily, the food question is at
the bottom of every demand for
higher wages, and the food question
becomes more battling as we draw
away from the war period.
Naturally, there will be high prices
for some time to come, since the
government must have tremendous
revenues to demobilieze, to pay war
debts and to meet current expenses.
the form Of taxes either ON income
or consumption, they are bound to
mean high price levels everywhere.
The war debt must be gradually paid
and the current expenses of the Fed
eral government-and the State and
local governments too-must be cared
for out of the earnings of the people.
And since the debt was created by
paying heavily infladed prices for the
governments necessities, it is highly
desirable that the deflation of the
money should be gradual and not has
tened in such a way as to make the
debt twice as hard to pay.
At the present time, however the
logical tendency should be toward
recession of both price and wage
levels, not an augmentation of them.
But there can be no recession of
either with the price of food con-
tinuing to ascend. 1t is easy to say
that there are many economies that
the people might practice and make
the food question less acute That is
true. There are many luxurics even
vices, that might be left off under
prices, that might be left off under
the pressing need of food, but human
ity dos't leave off luxuries or vices
easily, and certainly working people
will not do so while the idle classes
cling to indulgence.
There is another reason why stern
economy or privation is not welcome
to labor in a time of high food prices,
and that is a firm belief that the food
price increases are unreasonable.
IF everybody is raising prices-the
butcher, the baker, the candlestick
maker, the grocer, the doctor, the
tailor and all, then we want more
wages"-that is labor's position.
The difficulty is heightened by the
painful circumstance that the raised
wages does not solve the problem
The wage increase if followed by still
further exactions all along the line
and labor, finding its increase more
than absorbed, is soon in the field
with other demands.
The country is facing heavy rate
increases for transportation and
every where the price, high as it may
go, seems utterly unable to stabilize
either prices or business or industry.
And where wage increases do not
come the strike does.
