FARMERS INSTITUTES
AT SWANVILLE AND RANDALL
NEXT GOOD SPEAK
ERS SECURED

Farmers Institutes are to be held at
Swanville on Friday and Saturday,
March 5 and 6 and at Randall on Wed
nesday and Thursday, March 10 and II.
All sessions Of the Institutes will be
entirely free, the expenses to be tax
en- care of by the state and local busi-
ness men. Sessions will commence at
10 a. m. and 1880 p. m.
Special help is being sent to these
Institutes, by the state department., so
that with the local help available, they

ent beef, sheep and alfalfa grower OF

crop rotation and soil fertility, will
lecture, as will E. w. Smith of Park

potatoes.
For the women, special treat is

charge of the garment making demon
strations at the state fair. She will
bring a large exhibit of home made gar
ments for young and old and will give
demonstrations, as to how they are
made, both from the standpoint OF
economy and taste. Now, that clothing
is getting so high in price, it is worth
while to make a study Of this subject
and the opportunity for the country
people to do this is rare, and should
therefore be taken advantage of. The
demonstration will be given at sep
arate session, commencing at l:30 in
the afternoon.
Copies Of the Farmers Institute An

success. County Agent Campbell will

COMMUNITY LEADERS
CHOSEN IN SWANVILLE, AT DE-
VELOPMENT MEETING-SET
GOAL FOR 1920.

A community leadership meeting was
held in the school house at Swanville
Wednesday afternoon, conducted ny
Cnuty Agent Campbell and Miss Sus-
an Hough, county home demonstration
agent. The meeting was well attended
and the community leadership move;
ment was given a good start.
County Agent Campbell, in very in.
structive talk, took up the principal
source of income of the farm, stating
that dairying had been found the p1in'
cipal one. He went on to state that it
has been found. that the eliminating
factor of the income is poor COWS and
lack Of best feeding material. The
remedy for this, he pointed out, was
the establishing of cow testing asso-
Citations, more pure bred bulls, more
labor-saving devices and improved
stables.
The farmers Of the community set a
goal for 1920 of at least one testing
association; at least "a silos and I'M
proved labor-saving devices. Nick
Truog Of Swanville was appointed COM
munity leader. -.
Miss Susan Hough took up the wom-
an department from the standpoint
of household conveniences, pointing out
that the main trouble there, was the
lack of funds or Indifference. AS rem
edies, she proposed that women secure
more information by mail and by auto
mobile tours to modern homes. The
goal of the women for 1920, was fixed
at three water systems. Mrs. Math
Zwilling was appointed project leader.
Another meeting will be held some
tine near the middle Of March to en-
large on this program.

or by the council in compliance with
al initiative petition, shall be regarded
as an emergency measure. Failure OF
the council or clerk to act in any pro
ceedings Of this chapter, may be en-
forced by proceedings in district court
at the suit Of any citizen of the city.
Mr.. Vasaly gave several examples
of where the recall, referendum and
initiative had been used and which
showed the value of such privileges to
the people.
Mayor Bergheim, in commenting on
this chapter, stated that it is a club in
the hands Of the people, that can be
used, when needed, and although it
may seldom be used, it is q good priv
ilege to have and should appeal to the
Mr.: Bergheim took up the other two
chapters, in which material changes
had been made, namely the chapter on
public Improvements and the one on
franchises. In connection with the
former, he said, that under the pres
ent charter, public improvements can
not be initiated by the council, but
must be started by a petition of the
property owners. Under the proposed
charter, the council can initiate i'm
provements, the property owners are
given go days. time after action by the
council, in which to object to same.
A petition by 25 per cent Of the prop
erty owners can hold up such improve
ment, but if another 25 per cent file a
petition, asking that it be made, the
council can proceed. Under the present
charter, the cost Of Improvements must
be paid in one payment at once, or be
spread over a period Of five years, with
an added penalty for failure to pay up
at once. Under the proposed charter,
the assessment can be paid in full,
within 40 days and if not paid then,
it automatically goes onto the tax rolls
and is payable in 20 annual install
ments.
The chapter on franchises, provides
that they may be granted the council,
a four-ffths vote being necessary,
however. The referendum protects the
voters, in case an unfair franchise
is granted by the council. Corpora
tions, holding franchises, will be re,
quired, under the proposed charter, to
file annual statements with the coun-
Gil, showing their business, obligations,
assets, etc. No increase of capital
stock or sale of bonds can be made,
without consent of the council and no
transfer or lease of a franchise is ef-
fective, unless approved by the counc''
The important feature of this chap
ter; is that it gives the city, the right
to fix rates and when this is done, tn"
rates are presumed to be reasonable
and the burden Of proof is put on the
holder of the franchise, instead Of o.
the city, as at present. All franchises
granted under the proposed charter
would contain purchase clause and a
clause, relating to arbitration of labor
disputes.
Upon motion by G.. W. Firnstahl, the
board members voted unanimously to
put the board on record, as endorsin
the charter as proposed.
Mr.. Bergheim stated that the charter
commission hopes to finish work on the
charter at meeting next Sunday after-
noon, so that it can be submitted at a
special election, some time later. .~
