. QUESTION OF CONFIDENCE.

When carefully analysed the only
real opposition to the road bonds In
either district one or district two. is
based on lack OF confidence In the
road commissioners. Fear that the
road commissioners will wrongfully
spend the money or show Partially In
awarding contracts or employ incom-
potent engineers are a few of the fears
that beset the wary taxpayer.
1t is probably true that the commits
sioners of both highway districts have
made mistakes. That would be but
human. But IL is equally true that
they probably did not often make the
same mistake twice. Our highway
commissioners serve without pay or
reward Of any kind and we doubt II
three better men could have been
found or can be found in the county
TO build our highways.
Do they represent the taxpayer?
That will be decided at the election
today. II takes a two-thirds vote to
carry the bond issue and bring good
roads to Power county. The Press be-
lieves that II the bonds fail II will be
simply because of a~ntipathy or lack
of confidence in the highway commits
sloners and not opposition based on
sound BUSINESS Judgment. After all
the majority of the voters are to blame.
IL Is they who elect the commission
ers and they who should support
them. If the commissioners are the
only Objectionable feature of the bond
tissue they should not constitute a val
Id argument against voting for the
bonds. We should instead vote for
the bonds and trust the majority Of
the voters to get new commissioners
90 build the roads.
Let us not deprive ourselves of four
hundred miles OF good roads and $780,
900 of state and federal aid money
Just to spite the commissioners.

WEAKNESS OF THE MAJORITY

Little can be said concerning the
city bond election Tuesday except that
II was an excellent illustration Of the
weakness of the majority. II was
generally known that ward three
would vote against the building of bet
ter streets though the full strength
of their vote was not anticipated,
Ward one and two went strongly for
she bonds but cast n small number Of
votes. Many voters stayed home or
forgot to vote when their votes would
have carried the election favorable to
the bonds. Past experiences In the
county and town have taught us that
we must fight hard and long for Inn
provements of any kind and nothing
less than defeat could be expected
from such an a~pathetic interest on the
part of the voters In wards n and
awo.

VALLEY FARMERS WANT
new SCHOOL DISTRICT
Seven Residents of Pleasant Valley
Petition County Fathers to Relieve
School Situation on Boundary Be-
tween Districts IL and IS.

Seven residents in Pleasant Valley
living along both sides of the line be-
tween school districts number II and
IS, have petitioned the county com
missioners that a new district be
formed to be known as number 81, and
asked for permission to bond the dis
trict to build a school house. The
petition says that there are 20 chill
dren of school age in this area, that
the average distance for them to the
present schools is between three and
three and a half miles, and there are
practically no all-year roads so that
transportation to the existing schools
Is almost out of the question.
The area which the petitioners
would create into a new school dis
trict is eight or nine square miles in
size and lies near the Lutheran
church in Pleasant Valley-just on
the boundary between school districts
II and IS. District II has three
school houses and district Is has four
now, but there are not enough pupils
in the proposed area within each dis
trict's respective limits to warrant a
new school, although a combination
of both makes a fairly good showing.
When the county commissioners
meet the second Monday in September
the petition will be acted upon. The
boards Of trustees in the two affected
districts have a right to register a
complaint against the proposed change
although none had been made up to
press time. Miss Goldie Drake is I'M
decided yet as to the recommendation
she will make.
The petitioners are Geo. L. Sprattler,
Fred Gehring, Fred Funk, Christ Kaul,
Henry Burgomeister, Christ l1mmer-
man and Martin Tschritter.

g has been removed from the sam
pie. In making the test weight per
bushel a definite series of operations
are prescribed by the federal grain
supervisor to insure uniform results
no matter where the test is made, and
to be fair and correct should always
be made with these directions. The
test kettle is of standard size, the
beam for determining the test weight
per bushei is carefully graduated and
standardized. The funnel through
which the egrain is poured has an
inch and o~ne-quarter opening and the
drop consists of two inches from the
bottom of the funnel to the top of the
kettle. This is then stroked off with
a hardwood stick having a rounded
edge. If this type of equipment is
made use of the same test can be
procured by all people making the
test. So important is the test weight
per bushel and since often the test
weight per bushel is one of the chief
factors in determining wheat grades
persons making their own tests should
follow closely such a method.
A modified apparatus for use at
country points has been designed by
the department of agriculture known
as the Cox funnel and consists of a
funnel CIRCULATION size) which sets
upon the kettle by means of standards
and which has a drop of two inches
from the bottom of the funnel to the
top of the kettle. This has proven
satisfactory and uniform results can
be expected with such apparatus.
