rally most of them fell in on our side.
1t was also witnessed by a youth
named Gavrilo Princip. the boy who
later shot Franz Ferdinand. 1t was
his inspiration to direct action and
thus led directly to the Sarajevo in
cident of 1914. 1t is one reason why
on June %, 1924, a monument was
unveiled to Princip in Sarajevo on
the spot where he killed the arch
duke and led to his peoples liberia
tion.
COMING up to the world war pc
~ riod. the men who were terror
lists in 1914 in Bosnia embraced all
classes. Most of them were students.
Youth is the time for the philosophy
of action. There were also teachers,
tradesmen and peasants, artisans and
even men of the upper classes were
ardent patriots. They we're dissimi-
lar in everything except hatred of
the oppressor.
Such were the men into whose
hands the tiny bit of newsprint was
sent by friends in Bosnia that April
night in Belgrade. At small table
in a very humble cafe. beneath
fiickering gas Jet, we sat and read it.
There was no advice nor admonition
sent with it. Only four letters and
two numerals were sufficient to make
us unanimous, without discussion, as
to what we should do about it. They
were contained in the fateful date,
June 2s.
How dared Franz Ferdinand, not
only the representative Of the op-
pressor, but in his own person an
arrogant tyrant. enter Sarajevo on
that day? Such an entry was a
studied insult
June 28 is date engraved deeply
in the heart of every Serb, so that the
day has: name of its own. 1t is
called the vidovnan. 1t is the day on
which the old Serbian kingdom was
conquered by the Turks at the battle
of Amselfelde in 1889. 1t is also the
day on which in the second Balkan
war the Serbian arms took glorious
revenge on the Turk for his old VIC
tory and for the years Of enslave-,
ment.
That was no day for Franz Eerdi-
nand. the new oppressor, to venture
to the very doors Of Serbia for dis
play of the force OF arms which kept

cause of the world war, today
is regarded among the heroes
of Serbia
His story is authentic beyond

OF this momentous page of his

conspirator before the assassi-

Racine, VISA constitutional COM

a city charter which fits the immedi-
ate needs Of the community. This
action will follow the passing Of the.

ture. The "hon1e rule" amendment
which was passed at the last election
will make this move possible.
At present, cities like Racine, In
their drafting of charters, are subject
to the state charter act. Milwaukee,
being a city of the first class, Is
the only municipality exempt from
this bill.
Should the city officials and council
decide on constitutional convention,
the people will elect their delegates
from each ward. They would meet
to consider all the changes deemed
necessary in the present charter and
draw UP a new set of general gov
erning rules.
This tentative charter would then
be submitted to the people for consid-
Grafton. What changes would be de-
sired in the new charter has not been
learned, but several city departments
would be affected, 1t is believed.
The calling Of the constitutional
convention would be along lines used
recently in Illinois, when a new state
charter was asked, but the charter
was so poor that it was overwhelm-
ingly defeated. M

managers of plants come next, though
they are shown to play less part in
making purchase decisions than they
are in initiating purchases. Chief or
consulting engineers are shown to be
third in the list of executives initial
ing purchases and deciding on types
of equipment to be bought. In the
matter of purchase decisions, however,
they are shown to exercise the decid-
ing influence more often than general
managers of plants.
Presidents of companies come after
the engineering department officials.
Master mechanics and chief electric

them the purchasing agents. They are
found TO exercise less purchasing in

USE ABANDONED COAL MINES.

Realizing that mushrooms are
grown in the dark hothouses by the
thousands, an enterprising grower
has converted an abandoned and ex-
hausted coal mine in Newcastle into
a mushroom farm. There are many
exhausted mines in Newcastle put to
odd uses, among them one for a shot
tower and another as an observatory
from which an astronomer studies the
stars in his vantage point hundreds
of feet below the earth. Another
shallower mine is used as show
place or grotto and a shooting gallery.
