THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM MONDAY, MARCH 24, 1919.

MAYOR IS ROUSED BY PLAN TO OUST BOARD OF WORKS

Zimmerman Says Movement is Pojitical Scheme, Actuated by Jealousy. "Playing politics on the part of a few councilmen, actuated by Jealousy" exclaimed Mayor Zimmerman Monday morning when he was asked his opinion of the move by council to remove the present board of works and substitute one made up of three members of council. "I can run the city more economically and better with the present board of works than with a city council," continued Dr. Zimmerman. "The old way, criticized as being expensive, is more economical than the proposed new one. "There is no reason on- earth why this matter should have been brought up at this time except for politics. A board of works, appointed by council, or a board of improvements, would be a mere committee of council. The city's affairs can be run by three men better than by twelve. Even five men, the number in the usual commission form of government, is better than twelve. "As to the present board, I defy council to show me any man in their own body more successful in a business way than the members of the board of works or who is more con

scientious in conducting city affairs. "There are three men in council who ran't surprise me, no matter what they start. Their opinion is listened to only while they are talking, and I would not consult them on any subject, because any good level headed school boy knows more in some ways than any of the three. "However, council has the power to do what it wishes. There is no use to quarrel with any action they wish to take, and any action they take of course, will have to be carried out." The mayor's statement splits the city hall sh'arptly into two factions the mayor and the board of works against any action council may take. Councilmen, who started the present agitation had nothing to say Monday morning; they were just waiting, they said, to get the expression of public approval or disapproval on the subject.

FIRE DRILL AT HIGH

A fire drill was conducted at the high school Monday morning. All students were out of the building in three minutes. This is a splendid beginning, considering that the new instructions were passed around only Monday morning. They are like the old ones with a few changes. The students will go out to B street instead of A street, as it was thought that should there be a fire the wagons and hose of the fire department would be on A street.

Saves Time More often than not planting must be done in a hurry between showers,, so to speak. You have spent many hours picking, testing and sorting your seed corn and many days preparing the seed bed. You have tuned up the planter and all is ready. Delay can't be tolerated. The shaft drive running in oil and the simple Janesville valves properly place the seed in the ground at any speed without breakage. There are so many things which may come up to delay the planting of the crop, and each year the delays s'eem to come from a different cause. We have honestly endeavored to make the JANESVILLE Planter good enough so that no matter what your other delays may be they cannot be charged against the planter.

Janesville Shaft Drive Patented) A straight steel shaft drives the planter with less draft and bother than the old fashioned chain. It is so much handier and easier to. take care of and never gets out of order or breaks. It needs to be greased but once in a year. The drop lever changes the number of kernels in a hill, 2, 3 or 4. The same lever, when drilling, changes the distances between the kernels. Placing this lever between notches throws the shaft into neutral and it stops dropping. This saves taking the wire off at such places as you would have to do with other kinds of planters. When the shaft is placed in neutral in this case the wire still trips the valves but they are not filled with corn. This saves your high priced seed when you pass over washouts or other places where you do not wish to plant. The increasing demand for shaft drive planters proves that the American , farmer thinks well of this model.

Saves Money

No clutches, no springs, no dogs, no chains to break or gum up with dust or age. Just a plain, noiseless shaft running in dust-proof, grease-tight casings filled with hard oil. One filling good for one season. The simple steel shaft, the seed plates and the moving parts of the valves are all made with the idea of giving heavy service for a long time. Of all farm implements the corn planter should be the least complicated. It's parts should be simple and durable. All parts are inspected and when the machine is finally assembled it is run for a number of minutes to see that all is ready for the field. If you find a single flaw in any piece we will replace the piece free of charge any time during the life of the machine.

You See Every Hill Before it is Planted A glass window at the uuper valve allows you to see each hill as it leaves the seed can. You know exactly what that hill contains. It is forced from the heel of the planter closely bunched, making your corn easy to cultivate each way. A simple adjustment h;lps you place your hills in perfect check. A set of flat drop plates and a set of edge drop plates are shipped with each machine. Fertilizer Attachment can be placed very easily upon any of our Planters. The fertilizer is placed just off the hill. i i The bottom of the fertilizer can is so constructed as to thoroughly stir the fertilizer and insure uniform quantities being dropped at each hill. A lever adjusts the quantity to be sown.
