Clovoland, Ohio, is tho largest city
in tho country to .adopt tho manager
form of proportional rcprosontatiou.
By a voto of approximately 7 to 5,
tho votors at tho November 8 election
approved amending tho city charter
to lntroduco tho city manager form
of govornmont on January 1, 1924.
Tho amendments also provido that
tho city council shall bo olocted by
proportional ropresontation from
four aldormanic districts, from which
flvo to sovon councllmon will bo re
turned. Under tho manager plan amend
ments, this council will appoint a
managor for tho city, who will havo
comploto control- of tho oxocutlvo
branch of tho govornmont. A majority
voto of tho council can hiro tho man
ager but in order to dlschargo him,
charges must bo preferred and tho
managor given a civil servlco com
mission trial If ho requires it. Tho
city cabinet will bo appointed and di
rected by tho managor.
Dofonso of tho city manager plan
of civic government on tho basis of
mayors being politicians first and ex
ecutives second, and criticism of this

during a Joint debato on tho subject
of "Is City Managor Plan Applicable
to Our Larger Cities?" beforo a Joint

tho voters; lack of tho right sort, of
drifting of many votors to tho su

The critical corn situation was de
pleted by a play In which King Corn,
too feeble td support himself, figured
as tho chief character. With him sat
Queen Mlnnio Wheat, Characters which
depleted tho plight of tho corn grower
woro Hard Times, Hi Taxes, Idle
Labor, and Speculation, but finally
were crowded from tho stage by High
Prices and Prosperity. A proclam
ation Was issued by tho High Chan
cellor calling upon all Bubjects of tho
King to eat corn onco a day.
Mombors of tho Lincoln Crib, ap
preciating tho splondld corn prepara

eat moro corn and corn-fed meat and
to encourage othors to do so. The
menu of corn foods combined with
the play got tho messago across In a
big way with tho result that many
other cities havo requested tho same
show and plans for organizing corn
oators' cribs in other cities of tho
State and of adjoining States.
Possibly this "crib" helps account for

We have experts who can give you service, therefore we can af

nothing to lose, A service battery is lurnished while yours is
being repaired or recharged.
Battery troubles, if taken in time, are comparatively easy to remedy at the
SERVICE STATION. If neglected, they are sure to result in costly repairs. Our
business is to keep ycur battery "loaded for bear" ready for the emergency.
There are Motorists who start out with a battery that has no reserve power;
they pull the battery down with frequent starts, and when they must have one
more start to avert an embarrassing engine-stall, the battery whispers, "That's
all there is there isn't any more.
The Prest-O-Lite Battery uses less than one four hundredth of its power
reserve for a single start ond the generator quickly replaces that.
When in doubt, come around here, and we will give you honest and con
scientious service.
