LETTER OF EXPLANATION ON THE
AMENDMENTS PROVIDING FOR A MANA
GERIAL FORM OF GOVERNMENT

and the election for such officers shall
be held on the second Tuesday after
the primary election, and the present
board OF commissioners, mayor and
chief of police, or those that may
be nominated and elected in the com
ing primary and election, will serve
without any change in their compen-
sation until the officers provided fr
in the proposed amendments are elect
ed and have qualified. II the amend-
ments for the managerial form Of gov
.rnment are adopted, the present board
Of commissioners, the mayor and chief
of police, OF those who may be noani-
mated and elected in the coming pri-
mary and election VIII only hold
office for about seven weeks after
by the governor, because under a
special provision in the amendments
the Old offices win be abolished. and
the Officers elected under the amend-
ments will at once qualify.
1t is the, object Of the amendments
to place the city on a business basis.
just as a great private corporation
would conduct its business The board
or commissioners corresponds to the
board Of directors, and the city man-
ager TO the president of the corpora-
ton, and the citizens Of the town to
the stockholders Of the corporation.
The city manager is given a great
deal OF power, but a check Is def
nitely held on him because he holds
his office at the will of the board of
commissioners, and he may be dis
charged at any time. He therefore.
under the amendments, cannot be ar
bitrary, because as suggested he may
he removed at any time. The city
manager cannot make q contract bind
ing on the city in a sum greater than
$500 until it is signed by the mayor
and If it binds the city to the pay
ment of more than $1,000 the mayor
shall not approve such contract until
the same has been approved by the
board Of commissioners.
The above amendments are the prin-
cipal and practically all Of the changes
that were made, and the old charter.
except where the amendments above
suggested are in conflict Herewith.
will still be in full force and effect.
Yours truly,
r. A. HEFNER.

Albert Bergman and sons Kenneth
and Allen motored here from Seattle,

This is Mr.. Bergman's first visit here
in nineteen years. His sister, Mrs. A..

rived here last Thursday evening.
About the last of June, says the
quarterly report of the Highway
Commission, there was under con-
struction, 80 miles of concrete paw
ing of which 81 miles We're hold-over
contracts from last year. 1t is be-
lieved the total for the season viii be
about 325 miles of concrete pavement,
about 1900 miles of roads surfaced
with other kinds Of material, probably
gravel, and in addition, six or seven
hundred miles of grading-a total of
1920 miles of highwys.
In the quarterly report of his de-
partment, Chief Engineer Hirst of
the Highway Commission says that
owing to the failure of the Legisla-
ture to make adequate provision for
continuing the work of the commits
sion on the present scale, it may be
necessary to effect radical reor-
ganization of the entire department.
Senate Bill 465 contained provisions
which would have made it possible
to continue work on the present scale,
but that bill was defeated.

Chickens, Eggs and
Beans Legal Tender
During Pioneer Days

Chickens, beans and eggs are
shown to have been legal tender in
the pioneer days by a note which has
just been sent to the Nebraska state
historical society by an attorney for
the receiver of the Castetter bank.
The note is dated 1858 and
through the time it took to pay it
off, emphasizes the difficulty of OBJ
tanning money in the early days.
The note was given to Mr.. Cas-
letter by Jeremiah Young for loan
OF S. and called for interest at the
rate of per cent a month.
The issue date was July q ant
on October 2, 1858. Young paid to
Castetter two chickens, valued at 50
cents. On December %, two more
chickens were credited with 50 cents.
On February 8, 1859, one peck of
white beans were credited with Is
cents and on April 10, four dozen
eggs were credited with 50 cents.
The last payment noted is six small
chickens valued at $l.25 for the lot
and a notation at the bottom shows
that $404. including interest. would
be due April %, 1860, indicating that
an extension on part of the loan
was necessary.

Boys and Girls Club
Work Popular at Fairs

Boys and girls club work and
demonstrations have been given a
separate class in the premium list
of the Nebraska state fair this year,
and indications point to the best
show of this kind ever held at fair
in this city. A total of $2,277.50 and
several special prizes will be dis
tributed among the young farmers
and homemakers. Probably Is
counties will enter teams in the
Judging and demonstration contests,
and it is thought that the exhibits
Of live stock, vegetables and fruits,
canned goods, sewing, baking, etc,
will be larger than at any previous
fair.
The best judging and demonstra-
ton teams will receive free trips to
the Interstate fair at Sioux City,
where they will represent Nebraska
i'll competition with teams iron,
other states. The best dairy judging
team will go to the national dairy
show at st. Paul. Manufacturing
and other companies are offering
special prizes. The girl scoring the
highest in the canning exhibits will
receive a pressure cooker, while the
manufacturers of glass jars will pay
we'll for the best jars OF fruit pre-
served i'll their jars.

conditions under which Nebraska
potatoes are grown is given by the
bureau as one reason for the higher
prices, but grading is considered as
the first cause. The bureau OF mar
kets and crop estimates maintains a
branch at Kearney during the ha--
vesting season to supervise the grad
ing of potatoes and make reports.
The Chicago market is said to have
been quick to recognize The su-
periority of Nebraska spuds shipped
under these conditions.
Most OF the fields show potatoes
OF good size and quality, but there
are less to the hill than usual this
year. Conditions are pronounced as
very good now, but the early crop
was curtailed by dry weather. Con-
servative estimates place the cont
inercial potato crop this year at
about 800 cars, with other reports
running a little higher.

Retail Sales of Grass
Seed Show Big Increase

The retail sales of clover and grass
seeds, with few exceptions, were
greater during the 1921 selling sea.
SON than they were in 1920. Sales OF
millets, sorgos, rape and few other
late-sown forage crop seeds, how
ever. were below last year and nor
NAL in practically every geographi-
cal division, according to data OBJ
tanned by the bureau of markets and
crop estimates.
The increase in sales Of clover and
grass seeds is thought to be Of far
reaching significance in that it indi-
Gates a return of agriculture to
more economic basis. Food, feed and
fiber crops were produced during the
past few years at the expense OF
plowing up many old meadows; but
this year. with the price Of seeds
down in line with that of other farm
products and more farmers than
usual having produced their own
seed, new meadows and pastures
have been Sown.

Certified Seed Grain
Popular in Nebraska

Certified seed of small grains is as
popular with Nebraska farmers as IS
Durebred live stock. Nearly 1000
farmers in As counties OF Nebraska
are growing certified seed OF wheat,
oats, rye, and barley. Kanred wheat
leads the list in number OF growers:
Dodge county is good example OF
how this variety has spread. In
1919 five men secured seed from
Kansas for a trial. In 1920 neigh
bors bought all the surplus from
these men and several carloads were
shipped in to supply the demand:
This year, after three years trial OF
Kanred wheat, more than 400 farm
crs are growing it. Its resistance to
rust, extra yield, winter hardness,
and earliness have made it popular.
Two Nebraska wheats which are
improved strains of Turkey Red arc
also popular, being grown widely
over the state. They are outyielding
ordinary Turkey Red, from three to
four bushels an acre on the average,
which is about the same as kanred

Nebraska-grown potatoes are

potatoes this year on the Chicago
market, according to an announce
ment by the bureau of markets and

of practically the same kind and
raised under similar conditions, but
the difference in quality is mainly
attributed to new manner of grad
ing now used in the commercial po-
tato districts of Nebraska.
The bureau pointed out the mar
ket of last Tuesday as an example
of the great difference in potatoes
of the same rating from the three
states.
On that day Kansas potatoes sold
from $1.35 to $1.40 per 100 pounds

brought $l75 and $l.85 a hundred.
Nebraska potatoes sold not lower
