held last week under the auspices OF the
Village Improvement Society resulted IN
an addition of $175 to their treasury.
This society deserves much credit tor
their work, and every citizen who enjoys
the beauty of our well kept streets and
parks should understand that it IS
largely due to the efforts OF this society;
and all should try to assist by not
throwing their peanut shells, bits OF pa
Der, etc, into the streets. 1t requires but
a little thoughtlulntss on the part OF
each one to save the Improvement Socl-
ETY. mu.h trouble and expense. We are
reminded OF a friend who went to Berlin
Germany, to 1--we, and on the first day OF
his arrival there was arrested Tor throw
ing peanut SHELLS on the sidewalk. We
are sometimes tempted to wish that a
similar law was in force here.
