Every dny reporter will ask

ion on the proposed plan.
II am strong for the city man
ager form of government for Rich
mond no matter what stand any of
the other cities in the state may
take regarding the question in
their cities local bank employe
stated Tuesday morning. We have
our own city to take care of, and
believe me, the best way to do this
is to see that we get good
straight business admin nistration
introduced here through the city
manager plan. I am as strong for
it now as when | first studied the
question and believe it is a long
sought for remedy to conditions
that have existed in this city for
years.
The strongest point I can think
of in favor of it aside from it's
guarantee of a business admins
tration. is the fact that we have
everything to gain and nothing to
lose We can give it a trial and
then if citizens are not satisfied
it is comparatively simple matter
to return to the old system as il
now exists. There is no denying
the fact that the plan has worked
successfully in many cities over
the country and with the intelli-
gent population in Richmond there
is no reason under the sun why we
could not adopt the plan, put in a
commission of excellent men, put
an executive in the city manager
position and have Richmond an
ideal city.

the ordinance calling for the abolish.
ment of the board at its regular meet
ing in the city hall Monday night
Councilman Williams made the mo-
tion when the ordinance was brought
up under the head of unfinished busi-
ness and the motion was carried by
acclamation with but one dissenting
vote.
In making the notion Councilman
Williams stated that the time of serv-
ice for the present administration was
so short that he did not believe
change of any kind at this time would
be advisable He said that he thought
the beard and council could get along
very nicely in the future.
It was inferred generally that the
disposal of the ordinance last night
would mean that the fight to get the
mayor to accept the resignation of

the municipal electric light and power
company. would be deferred and taken
up in the campaign in the fall

GRAVETTE. Ark.-Not only Ar
kansas but other Southern States
have been in times past noted for
having within their borders a crea-
ture known as the ''razorback
hawg," but in this community, as
in many others now. there "sin't no
such animal" any more. There is
just about as much expense and an
equal amount OF exertion spent In
dressing "a porker that netted so to
$50 pounds as there Is In handling
the breed that tips the scales at 500
pounds or more.
Twenty-Five years ago, when hog
raising was merely an incident 20
farm life, a hog dressing $50 pounds
was considered a good hog. = But to-
day In the Gravette vicinity we see
or hear OF few shoats being dress
ed that net under 200 pounds, and
many dressed here this winter have
run around 400 TO 500 pounds, and
one weighed 500 pounds dressed.
The modern breeder-there arc
hundreds Of them here-hss learned
that the same amount of feed will
produce three pounds OF pure bred
pork that produced one pound Of
the streak -of-lean Kind.
Theferore. the farmers pens Of
this community contain nothing but
pure bred hogs or. perchance, few
remain that ore at least the or
