supply power at a third less than the
present price. 1t was stated that the
ice company receives its power from
the city at a price of two and one
half kilowatt, this rate having been
given because of the large quantity
Of power used and the time of day
at which it was used. This offer
brought out much discussion. There
were present a number of members
of the city government, who ex-
planned the present methods of ex-
pending various funds and other SUBJ
jects.
1t was said that the city debt is
now between $4,000 and 100000
After discussion, 1t was voted to have
an audit of the books, and a COM
mittee was appointed to make furth-
er arrangements for this.
The Chamber of Commerce initia-
ted this movement for more light on
city affairs and the Kiwanis Club
co-operated. c. B. Perkins, presi-

Hospital Board Meets.

The Hospital Board held a very
interesting and important meeting
Thursday morning. A committee
from the physicians of the city Drs.

Frizell and Mcleod will serve on
The Hospital Board as committee Sc
lected by local physicians at re-
quest of the Board.
The business before the meeting
was the planning for all equipment
necessary and estimates were made
to cover.
Those who have already signihed
desire to furnish rooms will be es-
pecially interested in the estimate
placed on this feature-$75 for each
room which includes all furnishings
necessary. No rugs will be used.
1t has been suggested by a letter
from an eX-resident who will fur
nish a room in memory of his pa
rents, that others follow his laudable
example. The Board decided to have
metal plates placed over the doors
Of rooms, bearing the name chosen
oy the donors of the furnishings.
The charity ward will be furnish
ed by the Circle. An X-ray machine
will be installed.
Applications for position of head
nurse and others are in order. Near
ly a dozen have been received from
prospective student nurses. These
young women are expected to ap-
pear personally before the Board and
are required to have a High School
education.
The president of the Board and
the leader of the Kings Daughters
will visit Jackson hospitals next
week in the interest of the local en-
terprise.
The campaign for means to equip
the Hospital was set for Nov. 21-3O.
The management of the compaign
will be under the supervision of the
Leader of the Kings Daughters Cir
Gle and the members of the organi-
zation who perfected the hospital.

Mother of Thousands.

The destruction wrought on all but
the hardest wood by the white ant, OF
termite, is not surprising when a few
facts are known of it's prolific charac
ter. A nest, some six feet in height,
was found in the tropics, and about one
foot below the level Of the ground
was a conical mound of hard earth.
Inside this dwelt the queen mother.
After careful observation she was
found to lay 9,120 eggs in an hour.
Or account of her great size she was
u. lie to leave her cell, her only func-
ii being to lay eggs.

Kiwanis Club Dinner and Discussion

A large number of invited guests
responded to invitations from the
Kiwanis Club to attend a dinner and
discussion of City affairs at the Ho-
tel Inez Thursday evening.
The topics for discussion were the
state of the city's affairs, the pow
er plant and the keeping and audit
ing of the city's books. The state
ment was made that this city pays
more for its lights and power than
most cities, 10 cents per kilowatt.
And the plant is in need of more
than a hundred thousand dollars
worth of repairs.

Purebred Sire.
the hope Of starting an interest In bet
ter stock and creating a demand for
his animals, presented a purebred bull
to the community. Little interest was
taken, and the gift was accepted with
reluctance. The community was made
up Of small farms and there were few
cows.
Following this a dairymen's picnic
and exhibition of live stock was held,
and as a result Of extension work car
ried on by the dairy division Of the
department In cooperation with Glenn
son Agricultural college more people
became interested and bought cows.
In 1917 cooperative bull association
was organized, from which developed
live stock show, and the members Of
the association developed keen inter-
est in comparing the dairy animals
they raised.
Another show was held In 1920, at
which prizes, offered by merchants and
bankers consisting OF cash, merchan-
disc, and savings accounts were
awarded. One Of the features Of the
show was program Of short talks on
local problems by the county agent,
leading farmers, and representatives
Of the commercial club and the State
Jersey Breeders association. AS an
indication Of the interest that was
aroused those attending the show
voted unanimously to hold a commu-
nifty fair next fall, to include not only
dairy stock but other agricultural
products.
