WHY MANAGER PLAN WAS LOST Marion Opposing Factions Give Reasons for Defeat. Special to Tho Time*. MARION, Ind., June I.—ln view of the fact that the city manager proposition, at a special election held in this city Tuesday, went down to defeat by an overwhelming majority, the Times reporter called on the leaders of the respective factions for statements on the remits. Thomas E. Plckerill, chairman of the Citisent' League, said: “The plan is new in the State of Indiana. Marion, by force of circumstances, took the lead in the State and a short campaign of five weeks or less was not sufficient time in which to inform the people of the workings of the new law Furthermore, we had solid opposition from the socialists and factory employes and also from other organlxed groups, political and otherwise, whose activities were crystallised because they thought this plan would take away some of their fundamental rights. This, we believe is not true.’’ Robert M. Vanatta, former Judge of the Grant-Delaware Superior Court, chairman of the Representative Government League, made the following state 'Bent: “The citizens of Marion were not willing to vote away their rights to representative government by adopting the commissioner-manager proposition.” The results of the election show that all classes of people of every political faith sided against the city manager plan. TAGGART MAKES RELIEF APPEAL Says No Call More Pitiful Than That of Hungry Child. An appeal to the people of Indiana to cooperate in a final effort to raise the State’s quota for Armenian orphan aid and Chinese relief is made by Thomas Taggart, relief chairman of the Third district, through the Indiana committee, 403 City Trust building. Mr. Taggart says that, although a busy man. he could not refuse to become active in a great humane movement when asked to accept a chairmanship by Governor McCray. “There can be no call in the world ' more pitiful it seems to me than the cry . of a hungry child for bread. It is life or death to those who lift their hands to us,” said Mr. Taggart. “Let us save these babies, let us help poor, broken China. Will it not be bread cast upon the waters' to- return to us a thousand fold? I am sure my own district will answer this appeal. Let us cooperate all over Indiana and save two starved nations whose only hope is America. My cherished wish Is that a flood of contributions may pour into the hands of Thomas C. Day, treasurer of this worthy fund.” The Indiana committee is giving Mr. Taggart's appeal the widest publicity. State headquarters announces it will be necessary to raise $120,000 by July 1, the end of the fiscal year, in order to fill Indiana's quota of $400,00. The committee set out to pledge support for 7.000 orphans. Two thousand remain unprovided for. “The State surely will not let these remaining littll ones starve,” said I)r. Clarence D. Royse, State director. IMPETUS GIVEN OIL PROSPECTING Hoosier Laws Seen as Incentive to Development. Gradually Indiana is acquirng laws to enable geologists to compile data and locate territory offering scientific encouragement where and where not it appears advisable to prosper* oil and gas. One law to this end which will go far to dtscourage “wildcat” exploitation in socalled oil fields originated in the State department of conservation requiring all parties drilling deep wells in the State to tnrn into the office of the division of geology, an accurate log of each well drilled within thirty days of the completion of the well. This information, says Dr. W. N. Logan, State geologist, lfc invaluable for obtaining information of great value for the future development of property, because It permits the geologist to analyze the soil, clay, sand, et cetera, and supplies a basis on which to determine if territory in question indicates oil deposits. Such information provided by one Indiana company has made it possible for him to determine the structural condition over an area comprising the whole or parts of seven townships and to map within that area the geological structures favorable for prospecting. Possession of' accurate well logs is absolutely essential In all parts of the State where the solid bed rock Is concealed by glacial drift, If the structural conditions are to be determined, Dr. Logan says. In the past many thousands of dollars were spent drilling prospect oil and gas wells in territory that the trained geologist knew would never produce either. The new law will eliminate much of this chance effort to acquire fuel oils from impossible territory, and will advance legitimate oil interests, in the opinion of conservation officials. Woman Convicted on Shoplifting Charge Ida Mechener. 50, 1511 College avenue, arrested Tuesday by oprat'ves c' the Quigley-Hyland Detective Agency on a charge of petit larceny, was fonnd guilty and was fined $1 and costs and sentenced to two days in jail by Judge Walter Pritchard in city court yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Mechener was charged with having stolen perfume, nine hair nets, shoe polish and a nail file, amounting to $1.20, from one of the 5 and 10-cent stores, and two remnants and two pairs of silk hose, amounting to S3. PS. from one of the downtown department stores. It was brought out in court that Mrs. Mechener is the proprietor of a fourapartment flat on College avenue. Argentine Gov’t Nip s General Strike ETTIXOS AIRES, June 2.—The vigorous military preparations of the Argentine government appeared today to have broken the backbone of the general strike movement. General labor conditions already have begun to improve. There are Indications that the strong measures taken as a result of the labor troubles have given a severe setback to trade unionism in this country. The strike of harbor workers continues in force. Religious Workers of ‘Y’ Have Banquet General plans of the International T. M. C. A. commission, religious work department. were outlined by E. T. Colten, bead of the department, at a banquet given last night at -the Columbia Club, and attended by twenty-two denominational leaders and members of the State religions work committee of the asso'iation. A short talk was made also l't Dr. Don D. Tullls, the new State religious work director. Mr. Colten is to speak tomorrow at the meeting of the railroad secretaries’ division to be held at Peru.

By W. D. BOYCE. IN the days when the west of the 1 United States still was young the man who raised sheep was an outcast, to be persecuted, hounded and run ' out of the country with such of his flocks as might survive the attacks of the cattlemen. Today in the Dominion of. New Zealand, which still is a young country, a different story Is being written. For the humble sheep is the king of animals there and the sheepman Is the fair-haired boy to whom every one pays homage. ' When you mention farming to a New ' Zealander his mind at once turns to sheep, and while you may be able to talk to him of tilling the soil and growing grain and fruits and vegetables, it is only a question of minutes before he has shifted back to sheep again. It was thus In the days when the Islands were divided into provinces, with separate governments; it is today, and it j always will be. So greatly has the lm- | portance of the sheep been recognized i that the heraldic arms of the Province of ! Canterbury, the agricultural center of; the Dominion, display three sheep as the i principal figures. To one fresh from the United States i the thing that attracts attention after' you have been able to realize the extent to which sheep are raised in New Zealand is horses. For in rugged, mountainous ' country which is to be found almost ev- ; erywhere throughout the dominion the horse has not yet succumbed to the mo- j tor. And what horses they are'. None of the undersized, poorly conditioned ani- I mals with which so many of our own farmers in the United States are content to work, but great, broad-hipped, deepchested fellows, mostly Clydesdales and Shires, in whose veins runs blood of the best work stock of other lands. For the New Zealander loves horses and only the best will suit him. .’ind that is why the percentage of poor horses in the 375.000 now in New Zealand Is so very small as to be negligible. Next to sheep-raising dairying is the great industry of New Zealand and the government figures show almost 900,000 dairy <ows are scattered throughout the , north and south islands, for while there : is a total of 28,000,000 acres in the Do- J minion which is suitable for general farming there is a total of 27,000,000 acres which is purely pastoral—bills and slopes j where grain cannot he sown but which during nine months of the year produces rich grazing. GREAT FARMING AND STOCK-RAISING COUNTRY. New Zealand is a great farming and stock-raising country because its ranges of temperature are not great. Its summers never get too hot tv> burn up the grazing lands and its winters never are so cold that stock has Jo be housed from the elements. Water is plentifil everywhere and there are thousands u ion thousands of acres of virgin land which art eminently suited to sheep. In the North Island Is to be found the greatest sheep and dairying districts, j for the South Island's flat lands are best suited for the growing of cereals and fruit. Still the Sonth Island does not yield the palm for livestock to the , North Island, for the sheep on the 3.WK),- i 000 (three million) acres of Canterbury I Plains set the high standard of ex- J ported mutton for which New Zealand Is ' famous and the dairy products of Banks Peninsula grade with the highest class, j Canterbury, too, is the place to which 1 in the winter months sheep are brought j from other provinces for fattening upon j the forage and root crops which are i raised there for sheep fed. It was the discovery in 1881 that sheep I killed in New Zealand and frozen conld j be safely exported to other countries I end sold at good prices which has revolt!- J tionized farming in New Zealand. Until j that time the land was mostly in large j blocks where the sheep were grazed upon j wild grasses. Wool and tallow, with some preserved meat, were the products for which there was a market. With the advent of freezing works and refrigerator ships there developed a tendency toward mixed farming. Today instead of grazing sheep and lambs upon land which has been sown without plowing or lettings them root out a living and grow fat upon the native growths, the sheepman grows special crops for fonder and makes it his object to fatten the greatest possible number of lambs so that they are ready for export at from four to eight months. Cultivation and manuring of the lands where root and forage crops are grown in rotation with grain crops has done much to increase the carrying capacity of the land. The climate of New Zealand is so eminently suitable to sheep that even in exposed mountainous coun- j try the increase by lambing is 75 per cent while in farm flocks increases of as high as 125 to 140 per cent are not uncommon. This high rate of increase and the low cost of fattening makes sheep raising a paying business. ALSO GET PROFIT FROM THE WOOL. From the wool, too, the sheep raiser gets a good profit. The wool is not of the highest grade, for pure-i/red Merino sheep miike up less than 5 per cent of tho

Where tfie Sheep Is King

, dominion flocks, because it is the crossbred sheep which makes the best food, and the great bulk of the sheep in the ; dominion are cross-breds. Southdown I and Shropshire breeds are to be found everywhere, but in the South Island the English and Border Leicesters are fa--1 voreii, while in the North Island, which j is more rugged and exposed country, the i Romney Marsh and Lincoln breeds are 1 most liked. There is a tendency, however, now to specialize everywhere on the | Romney, which seems to give the best j results. Importation of high grade rams 'and ewes is constant, and of sheet) the same thing is true that happens to most animals or birds or fish or trees that are transplanted to New Zealand from other countries —they grow better and ! larger than they do in their nntlve homes. I This being true, New Zealand has established an export trade in sheep for breeding purposes with Australia and parts i of South America. i Sheep farming begins on the big holdings of land. The wether lambs are sold to the small landholder, who fattens them in conjunction with his agricultural farming. The young ewes are kept on the home ranch for breeding, the surplus being sold to others for the same purpose. As the ewes get older they aro sold to the small farmer, whorsgeta one or two crops of lambs from them and then fattens them for the butcher. Fat sheep and lambs usually are disposed of to exporters, although many big sheep raisers expo.’-t the meat themselves to the London market. The fortyodd freezing companies will undertake to handle the sheep for owners from the time they are received at the freezing plants until the meat is sold in London, and charge a fair rate for their services. I'rlvate ogents will do the same thing, paying the freezing companies for killing and freezing and the steamship company for carrying the meat. killing done under GOVERMENT INSPECTORS. AH killing is done under the inspection of government men, who also grade the carcases according to weight and quality. Other government men follow the meat through until it is finally disposed of to the retailer in England. This Is the protection which the Dominion government gives its sheep farmers so that the quality of New Zealand mutton may# always be upheld. So well is this known and so closely is tho grading done that it is not unusual for large orders being given by cable, sometimes, for shipments extending over a period of months. The average slaughter of lambs In the Dominion in a year for export is around 5,000.000 (three million) head, average weight, thirty-six pounds, while more than ,4,000,000 carcases of sheep, averaging sixty pounds, are exported annually. In the lust ten years 50.000.000 sheep and nn equal number of lambs l ave been slaughtered In the Dominion for food purposes. For their own food the farmers kill an average of 000,000 sheep and 00,000 lambs a year. Government figures Indicate that 120 pounds of m tton and lamb are consumed a year by each person In New Zealand. With these figures It is easy to see why as small a country as New Zealand ranks ninth among the sheep raising nations of the world. Wool, naturally, Is the fnost Important product of New Zealand and the valuo of the wool exported is more than a third of the total exports from the Dominion. Dominion mills also take a large quantity of wool, half-bred fleece being preferred. Raising of cattle for beef purposes Is done on a much smaller scale and hog raising is mainly done for local consumption. There are still in existence some fine herds of the Shorthorn, AberdeenAngus and Hereford breeds, but mainly cattle raising is for dairy purposes. Jerseys, nolstein, Ayrshire and the milking ! Shorthorns being the favored breeds. dairy farming ONE OF 810 FACTORS. ! Dairy produce is, of course, one of the ' big factors in New Zealand commerce and every aid and encouragement is given by j the government. Advances are made by ; the State to dairy companies for the pur- ! pose of buying land, erecting buildings i and buying machinery. Five per cent in- | terest is charged and the debts must be I liquidated within fifteen years by halfj yearly payments. Cooperative butter and cheese factories are numerous. They are operated by the farmers themselves, who bring their milk ;to these factories and haul away the | skimmed milk, after the cream and whey • has been extracted. The milk producers ! are paid for their milk according to the butterfat which It contains and, after the | expenses of the factory have been paid. 1 the net profits are divided among those ! who own the factory. Butter and cheese ! are either sold for the season at a fixed j price or consigned to foreign markets, j principally London, the person to whom iit is consigned usually guaranteeing a minimum price. Government grading of dairy produce Is done free and so carefully is this done that the Dominion inspector's O. IC. is accepted wherever sold the certificates being taken ns final so far as quality and weight are concerned. Many of the factories run the year round, some close down for three months each yeag, while others make either but-

ter or cheese according to the season or the demand in the markets. The 214 butter factories and 400 cheese factories in the Dominion annually put up for export 20.000 tons of butter and 60.000 tons of cheese, in addition to the butter and cheese prepared for local consumption. Speaking of cooperative societies, the farmers of New Zealand have many such bodies and they have strong organizations to protect their interests at all times. There are certain newspapers which ntp published by these organizations and you will usually find that the New Zealand farmer Is exceptionally well informed. Probably the farmer as a class Is the greatest power in New Zealand. GET OUT AND DO WORK THEMSELVES. Illustrative of how Independent they are Is the story of a strike among the dockworkers at a certain port. The fanners were not particularly Interested In whether the longshoremen won their fight or not, but their own pocketbooks were threatened by the fact that their produce lay on tho docks because tho ships could get neither coal nor cargo aboard. So the farmers gathered by tho hundreds and themselves coaled and loaded the ships nnd enabled them to sail. And there was no interference on the part of tho strikers. Farmers' mutual Insurance companies are located In several sections of the islands and because they believed that some of the rates which they were paying for ocean cnrrlage was too high there is a well developed plan on foot to buy and own a line of cargo steamers. Already one such boat has been purchased In tho Hawke's Bay district. If it is found that return cargoes can be obtained abroad the ship scheme may be carried out. Particularly among the sheep and dairy men there Is a tendency to buy out their smaller neighbors and a mortgage is no terror to the farmer who sees profits ahead In holding more land. His rates of Interest pro reasonable nnd he knows that In a few years he will be out of debt and on Easy street. When we were visiting Batiks Peninsula I was told of tho case of an old lady wNo, twenty years ago, bought the hilly land which she now owns at around $lO nn aero. Today that same land is quoted at s.'so an acre and her weekly income from her dairy herd Is S4OO. The government is working to prevent the assembling onQer one ownership of vast tracts of land in order that more and moro people may be put on the land. Eight thousand returned soldiers have been aided to get Into farming and most of them are doing well. The grasses of New Zealand upon which the sheep aro fed aro sweet grasses, ns the country is hilly and rolling. There Is no sour grass of the swamplands or weeds of the plain. That, in my Judgment, accounts for the sweetness of the meat of tho sheep here, mutton or lamb, and the reputation and standing it has in the markets of the world. I have eaten New Zealand mntton or lamb at least once a day for forty days and I’ve not yet got tired of It. FINES SPEEDER sls. Peter Schwimm, 21, 602 Highland avenue, arrested by Motorcycle Officer William Brooks on a charge of speeding, pleaded guilty and was fined sls and costs by Judge Pritchard in city court yesterday afternoon.
