Feeble attempts to oppose this ticket
were made by old factions and labor
organizations. but in June OF this
year Petersburg stood solidly behind
the choice OF the progressive element,
and the five commissioners were
chosen without a race.
Realizing that the head of the new
government for the city must be a
man thoroughly capable OF directing
the citys dcstinies, for the little town
was at last determined TO make its
natural advantages and resources
count, the five commissioners secured
the country in search OF manager
who could meet these qualifications.
Many men of prominence throughout
the state and country were applicants
for the position. but late in August
the man who is determined to do for
Petersburg what he has done for the
national capital came forward in the
person of Louis Brownlow. veteran
newspaper man. a recognized author

typical of new America

But this, citizens of the town avow.
is only the beginning of events that
are TO bring the city into the lime

Vote for Change In 1917.
When the citizens Of Petersburg
over the long dormant state of Sthe
municipality, voted for the city-man-
aager form Of government as a change,
little did they realize what was In
store for the town as n result of this
action. AS was expected by the
hackers of this move and those who
wanted to see Petersburg placed in
its riEhtful place. the plan met with
opposition, but was successfully car
ried through at the polls and Peters
burg became the second city OF Vir-
ginia to adopt the city manager form
Of government and to discard tho old
bicameral system.
Duo to the fact that the city's
charter provided that two years must
elapse before the new plan could be
put into effect. Norfolk, Suffolk and
other cities in the State, voting on
the matter after this city had done
SO, put the new form into effect be-
fore Petersburg acted.
Select Commissioners Carefully,
Realizing what a change would be
made in the town by the new govern
ment. and having their eyes opened
to the fact that Petersburg could
gain it's place with other progressive
cities. the citizens aroused themselves
and cast around for the live men who
would be chosen from among all
walks Of the city's life to serve as
the I'VE commissioners. Through the
efforts of the Young Business Mems

of 100 citizens was selected. and after

Vital School Questions.

eve all believe that the health of
the child and it's physical condition are
more important than all the book learn
ing," says Miss Anna Luetscher, Rock
county nurse, and she asks:
Do you serve one hot dish every day
during the cold weather? One-half Of
all Rock county schools do. What is
your reason against it?
Do you have q sanitary drinking
fountain, or do you still use the one
dipper for the whole school?
Do you furnish your teacher with
sweeping compound, or must she inhale
all the dust and dirt if she wishes to
have her school clean?
Has your stove a jacket, or will the
children near the stove be overheated
and the others freeze?
Do you have paper towels, or will the
one towel do for the whole school all
the week?
Are you able to open the windows at
your school house, or are they nailed
down tight?
Is your school room scrubbed at least
once a month?
If you can answer all these questions
with yes, your school would then be 100
per cent, and we want every one of
them to be 100 per cent in health.

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 10, 1920.


The voting strength of Edgerton was
not represented by much over one-half
at the primary last Tuesday. Edger-
ton has polled over 600 men votes in
some elections in past years. Accord
ing to this the full voting strength of
the city should now be between 1900
and 1900 votes In last Tuesdays pri-
mary 648 votes were cast, or about so
per cent of the voting population. The
woman vote was there with 234 ballots
and the men with Ala. Considering the
fact that it was the first primary in
which the women were making use of
their right to ballot for party candi-
dates, the vote was not disappointing,
but the male vote was. That much
larger vote will be cast in November is
certain The primary stay-at-home
vote left it to the wisdom of the so per
cent who voted to choose the candi-
dates. The honor of throwing the first
ballot for the enfranchised women fell
to Ruth A. Briggs; Lizzie Fletcher was
No. 2, and Susan Maltpress No. 8.
In the primary election two years
ago the total vote GALL mem in Edger-
ton was 26O, which is only rs votes
more than the woman vote this year.
1t took the board of canvassers until 3
O'Clock Wednesday morning to count
the ballots.
