The hog growers of Wayne county
were out in force at the meeting held
III the county court house Wednesday.
Serious men met to solve a serious
problem. These representative farm
ers met to talk over the recent loss of
hogs, supposedly "pOisoned" through
the feeding of worm medicine and
conditioner, recommended as a tonic
beyond compare by the men who sold
it to them in 500 pound lots
This preparation is put up by a
Kansas City, Mo, firm. maker of a
line or cattle, hog and sheep powders
Two men who have been selling this
stun called on a number of the losers
Wednesday. They promised some of
them that they would be at the We'd
nesday night meeting They were not.
D. II. Kent Presided.
E. f, Murphy, county agent. intro
duced ID. II. Kent. of Centerville, as
chairman. Mr.. Kent asked that every
man having used the tonic" should
relate his experience, regardless of
what that experience had been.
On a call for show of hands from
those who had sick hogs or dead hogs
after using this mixture 10 hands were
| elevated. Five men who had lost nc
hogs from using it, next made show
of hands
Carl Pedro, of Centerville, stated
that he had fed 40 perfectly we'll hogs
about eight pounds of the stuff on one
Friday evening. On Sunday morning
most of them We're sick and several
were found dead around the feeding
trough,
Henry Began stated that the man
who took his order said that while
| there was no known cholera cure. we
guarantee this medicine to prevent
cholera When he began feeding this
stuff his hogs at once got sick and
acted as if they had rheumatism
Couldn't walk, and wouldn't eat. On
taxing it from them they recovered.
He then made three trials, weeks
apart, with same results, and on the
third trial two died and most of his
herd sickened. What Mr.. Began said
was duplicated, in effect, by a dozen
others, some of which lost hogs ga.
| lore. Two OF the letters to Began
from the Kansas City house were
| read. Mr.. Began said that he had a
| letter stating that the stuff was not
| sold under any guarantee whatsoever
| either to prevent or cure disease"

that institution, including an auditor
ium building, Fairgrounds and athletic
field. Those improvements will be
provided for at future time.
Present Revenue Barely Enough.
The situation which confronts the
municipal government is the fact that
the city's present revenue barely COW
ers its operating expenses. and next
year these expenses will be increased
in several items, principally for addi-
tional pay for the fire department, I'M

ing to about $4,000 additional, and by
the. impending increase of approx
mately $4,000 for street lighting under

the average class instructed by one
teacher numbered about 43 pupils
In educational circles it is a maxim
that satisfactory results cannot be OBJ
tanned by a teacher who has class OF
more than 25 pupils.
In Use Since Civil War.
The majority of the grade schools
in the city have been in use for 50
years; others for longer time. NO
comprehensive building and improve
ment for the schools was formulated
until about 1914. when Charles W.
Jordan, then a board member, ad-
, yocated such a program.
The board was about to adopt II
when M. Jordan resigned from the
board. The new board then decided
to abandon the plan, as the European
war had Just started and it was feared
that this would result in too hlgh
costs. However, building costs at that
time were considerably under present
tremendous costs. Mr.. Handley Is or
the opinion that if the building pro-
gram proposed in 1914 by Mr.. Jordan
who is again a member OF the BOARD
had been carried out, it would have
meant a saving of at least hall MIL
lion dollars to the city.
Every Building is in Need.
Practically every building in the
city is in need of repairs and enlarge
ments. The Garfield building has
been condemned by the state fire mar
shall and the high school does not
comply with the present state law, 1or
II is four stories in height, whereas
| schools of more than two stories are
not permitted to be built now.
The school board faces really ais
couraging situation, but has determn'
ed TO embark upon the belated oullo-
ing program, for members believe mat
further neglect of it would result IN
decentralization of the city's school
| system.
Expenditures will be held to mini
mum, but the proposed new schools
will be substantial and modern and no
| effort will be made to skimp IN thelr
| construction. A bond issue of about
$3.50 900 is contemplated. 1t is expect
| ed that about 100000 of this amount
will be required for the construction
of the new West Richmond junior high
school.
The remaining $4,000 will prob.
ABLY be used for the construction OF
the academic building of the new
South Twenty-third street junior high
| school
This sum, however, will not be suf-

was s35, 100000, against $17,S26,616,
which obtained in 1918. The city's tax
rate is now 81 cents.
In 1918 it was s121, but with the
doubled valuation and the lowered
tax rate the city will receive this year
only $20,406 more revenue than it re-
ceived last year.
