ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

are 50 apparent that we are almost
ashamed TO talk about them. They
stick right out like the nose of your
face, but, as Marcus Aurelius
might have said, if he had thought
of it, IF a man blow not his own
horn, the same it shall not be
blowed. And our Office boy says
he'll be blowed if he can see why
we should hide our light under a
half bushel.
RO to save argument we are will
ing to admit that there is no light
that even approaches the electric
light in quantity Of light radiated
all around thereon.
The quality Of the light you can
see for yourself. Electric lights

today, pure, white light and plenty

How Dallas Deals
With the Weed Nuisance The
Law is Enforced

Speaking about the weed nuis-
ance, they have pretty good or
dinauce i'll Dallas OH the subject.
The officials have recently started
a crusade for the rigid enforcement
of the law. 1t is their purpose not
to cease till the weeds in the city
have been exterminated. The cit
liens of the town are cooperating
with the officers.
Here are some sections in the
Dallas ordinance:
Art. 2I4. II shall be unlawful
for the owner or owners, agent or
agents, or occupants of any lot or
lots in the corporate limits of the
city Of Dallas TO allow weeds or
grass to grow or remain upon the
sidewalks, 50 as to obstruct the
sidewalk or cutters, fronting or
abutting on any lot or lots of which
they may be the owner or owners,
agent or agents, or occupants in
the corporate limits.
Art. 2I5 Any owner or owners
agent OF agents, or occupants OF
any lot OF lots, who shall fail to re-
move, or TO have removed, all weeds
or grass, as foresaid, on the side
walks OF cutters, in front, adjoin-
ing or abutting on their lots or lots
after ten days notice to remove
them, shall be guilty of misde.
meanor.
Ar. 2I6 Any person violating
Arts. 2I4 and zI5 Of this chapter
shall. upon conviction in the city
court, be fined not less than 81 oI
more than $40; and each day after
notification shall constitute sepa-
rate oHense "
This ordinance is respectfully
submitted to the consideration Of
the "city dads Of Chickasha
Dallas is not the only city that has
such an ordinance. Nearly every
up-to- date town has a similar one
Please observe that tie above or
dinance applies TO owners, agents
and OCCUPANTS OF property. II
is not necessary thai there be aciu-
al ship OF the property in or,
der 10 enforce the law. A very
competent legal authority in Chick
asha expressed the opinion to an
EXPRESS reporter that if it could
be shown that weeds are a menancC
to pubic health. the city council
would have authority under the
laws Of Arkansas to enact an ordin
ance on the weed subject. Th'
matter is certainly entitled to care
full consideration.
