TEACHER'S CASE IS GIVEN TO COUNCIL; MEETING THUR. EVE.

Though each member of council expressed some disapproval of the step of the school board in increasing

teachers' salaries and the number oft

months of school year simultaneously, it was unanimously decided to meet with the school board in the council chamber on Thursday night before definite action -was taken. A number of councilmen, speaking against the move of the school board, Emitted also that "the board may lave had reasons not evident." Verne Pentecost, president of the Central Labor Council, spoke against the 10 months' school plan. "Teachers must have some time to pursue normal school and summer university couses; they must have some time for recreation and rest of body and mind," said Mr. Pentecost. "This can not be sufficiently well done in two months to prepare them lor the coming school year of 10 'months. "The children, too, must be given a lair chance to get out and play. They ought not be in school the three hot months of the summer. It we let this pass we will lose our best teachers and have our children attending 30 months of school under Incompetent instruction." Byram Kobbins, attorney for the I'ederation of Teachers, also spoke stgainst the "pseudo" increase in salaries. Competent Teachers Wanted "I believe the people of Richmond would rather have their children go to school less months to competent, Milficiently paid teachers than go 10 inonths to incompetent, underpaid instructors," said Mr. Robbins. "Do they want new buildings ruled (by persons unfitted to teach their chil'dren? When the board of education ifame to council and asked you to cooperate in building the two new ju!nior high schools, you did so; now Ithey have an opportunity to co-oper-late with council in giving the teachers what they honestly earn. If the gentlemen who are so anxious not to raise the taxes would dispense with building schools, which are not absolutely necessary, until building prices come down, they might be able to save raising the taxes. "Figures furnished the local press by the school board have been misleading. These figures show that the eiverage increase has been 25 per cent. It is 17.8 per cent, and I know of a certain teacher who is getting only 3 per cent increase. And this is on the comparison of nine months to nine months. I will leave it to you how inuch living has increased in the last 3' ear. Can't Afford Either Much time was spent considering the purchase of a new chassis for the fire department. Representatives of a lire truck and a commercial truck were present. After discussing whether the "best at i higher price" or a lower priced chassis was wanted, council finally decided it had little money for either, and deferred the question. The platoon system recommended for the fire department was referred to the city attorney to discuss with the tax commissioners. The tax commissioners were blamed for not allowing a sufficient levy to carry on the city government. "If we lose enough men to close a hoire house, our insurance rates will be raised, and then one big fire inefficiently handled will cost us as much as the platoon system," said Council

man Ford, who added that "Rome burned while Nero fiddled" and the tax commissioners were likely to do the same thing while Richmond burned. City Attorney Robbins said that "after representatives of Richmond had talked with the tax commissioners last year some gentlemen went around ,and whispered in the governor's ears." Politics, is Charge i "You have to be a political friend of some body who is a political friend of somebody else to get anything," eaid Mr. Robbins, in reply to the question why Richmond couldn't get as Rood a levy as some other cities in the state. City Controller Bescher made his April report. "It's all right for us to Install platoon systems and buy new automobiles if we've got the money - but it's up to you gentlemen where we're going to get it. for I don't knpw, and I've lain awake many a night thinking about it." said Mr. Bescher. Superintendent Dillon said he hadn't potten any money out of the city for light bills for five months. Removal of a railroad trestle was referred to the ritv attorney

Leroy Carson, living near Kitchell, and who captured a gold medal in the Union county five acre corn contest last year, has Joined the contest club again, in the hope, he said, of beating his better than 100 bushel record of 1919. Mr. Carson says that a part of his wheat looks promising, but that some of the ground was so thinly covered that he has sown It in oats. He feels that 28 acres of corn will round out his rotation. Mr. Carson complains of bad luck in his piggery, two of his 12 brood sows having lost all their pigs, and there were other losses so that his crop of porkers is very short. Asked as to potatoes he stated that he had all the seed required. L. C. Palmer, secretary of the Wayne County Duroc Breeders' association, said: "I do not expect to hold a sale this year, because good breeding stock is In demand on private sale nearly a)l the time. I sold all I had to offer at private sale last year, too." Mr. Palmer compared the prices paid for pure bred Duroc-Jerseys in 1907 and those paid recently. PriceB have

Gardeners. Test Your Soil! It May Need Limestone Many of our back yard gardeners may find that a little ground limestone would be of advantage, by a very simple test. The limestone should be scattered over the ground and worked in with hoe and rake, to a depth of 3 or 4 inches, when you are preparing the seed bed, if the soil is at all acid. The test is made with blue litmus paper, which costs but a trifle at drug stores. Lay the paper on the damp soil, cover it lightly and if within o0 minutes it turns pink in color, your garden needs limestone. Gardeners make this test every year, for all vegetables will absorb lime and a top dressing of lime is required for best results, large farmers use carloads of lime to replace what has been absorbed, regardless of acid conditions.

been constantly climbing. In this connection he related a little story of a Wayne County Duroc boar which had sold here for $930 about a year ago and of a "brother" to same which had later sold for $32,000 at the Jackson sale at Tippecanoe City, Ohio, and was purchased by an enterprising Mississiplan. "The south Is getting to be a great outlet for all classes of pure bred stock," said Mr. Palmer, and so, too, is the entire west, for the day of the scrub on the farm is passing." He said that he had a potato seed bed prepared as fine as if for onions, and some good seed. His wheat, 25 acres, planted the last week in September, is looking fine and he Is to plant 40 acres to corn, A Purdue University professor told a corn growers' meeting in this vicinity that he had recently addressed 3.000 farmers and townspeople In southern Indiana, at which this question was asked: "What is your greatest community need?" This was the answer: "That the city people and the farmers be brought closer together, to that townsfolk may learn of the htbors and troubles of the farmers, and ihe farmers learn to know their business men better, so that all may work together in harmony, for the good of both town and country."

WOOLMEN OF SIX COUNTIES DECIDE TO POOL THEIR CLIPS At a meeting of men interested in wool pools in Henry. Madison, Delaware, Randolph, Blackford and Jay counties, in Muncie, it was decided to combine the wool of all these counties into one pooL and receive bids on May 15. The provision was made, however, that any firm or individual can bid on a separate county, but if the growers can get the best price by selling as a whole, this will be done. Ralph Test was appointed the representative of the six counties to receive bids, which will be submitted to him in Muncie on the night of May 15. It was also decided that the wool will be delivered to the nearest car as close to the first week in June as is possible, and the money for the clip is to be paid when the wool is placed on the car.

AMBITIOUS HIGH SCHOOLERS WORK OUT AT EARLHAM Athletics have not entirely died out at Richmond high school. Several students have been trotting over to Earlham and working out with the Quaker squads. If these ambitious youths show any form. Principal Bate says they will be entered in the state high school meet at Bloomington and the tri-state meet at Cincinnati. Plans for the organization of an inter-advisory group baseball league are under way at high school. Already three groups, Vernon's, May's and Rock's have been organized. These will play at the Twenty-second street playgrounds Tuesday afternoon. Nothing definite towards organizing a league has yet been accomplished.

Tills spring and right now is the t'me to join those pig, calf and corn clubs. It will be too late to do this next fall, and you will lose a year's time and the chance of making a record and a profit by putting this off. E. F. Murphy, Wayne county agent, will be glad to tell you all about these clubs and to assist every member. The wisest of men are liable to be mistaken. For instance. Professor Thatcher of the University of Minnesota says that: Wheat at $3 or $6 per bushel and bread at 25 cents a loaf is within the bounds of possibilities, before the 1921 wheat crop is harvested." Owing to the shortage of farm help says Mr. Thatcher, "we must increase the production per man."

Wools Are Slow, and Bayers Are Caatioas Wool buyers in the Rocky Mountain states are not bidding as much for wool as erowers think they should.

and some are refusing to Bell. The heavy snows in April prevented early shearing in large districts, but considerable wool is now on offer and the prices bid on line and medium i wool in Nevada and Utah have ranged : at from 60 to 60 cents. ) In the fleece wool sections some of the early shorn fat Bheep wools have brought slightly better prices and, in some instances, have been held so J high that dealers' and manufacturers';

agents refuse to Duy. The best houses now consider wool a gamble and ave going slow. Judging from the prices charged for allwool, well-made clothing, the statement of a woolen mill man that the price of wool was scarcely counted in the cost of men's clothing is about correct. This must also certainly apply to fabrics for women's wear, where a

few ounces of fabric costs a few'

ounces in dollars.
