The town authorities are trying theil
best to get our town in as good sanitary
condition DIS possible and we call on
all residents OF the town to give US
their hearty cooperation. We have
but very little sickness of any kind in
our midst atpresent, and we hope that
no contagious or infectious disease of
any kind will visit US, but ia the event
that it does, the cleaner our town is.
the easier it will be to combat il. You
are therefore requested to thoroughly
c'ean and disinfect all outbuildines
Clean up and burn all weeds and rub
Dish OF any kind. If you have no
mosquito tight screens over your els.
terms, it would he we'll to put them on.
Also oil all cesspools and stagnapt
water of every kind. Many OF these
suggestions can be enforced by law.
but we hope none OF our citizens will
be SO indifferent to the public welfare
as to force us to apply the law There
are parties now in town doing regular
scavanger work, whose service can la
obtained on short notice.

BIaden Celebrates.

Quite a number of our people cele-
brated at Bladen on the Fourth, the
editor of this paper being among them.
A good program was given, consisting
of speaking, music. horse and foot
racing, boxing contests, a base ball
game between Five Star and Bladen
which was won by the latter by "a score
of 8 to 3, the entertainment closing
with a display of fireworks in the even
ing.
1t was our first trip to Bladen, and
we enjoyed it immensely. So far as
dwellings and farm buildings are con
cerned, the farmers in that part of the
county are considerably ahead of their
brothers in the southern part of the
county, The crops are looking fine,
the corn being cleaner, while wheat
and oats are much heavier and OF
more even growth than that farther
south. 1t is worth ones time and
trouble to take the trip and enjoy the
sight of the magnificent crops and the
splendid homes along the route.

people,

There was not much doing in Red
Cloud on the Fourth. A few fire
crackers were exploded, and late in
the afternoon a stranded %aeronaut
gave a successful balloon ascension
and parachute drop. Soon after the
ascension there was an impromptu
foot ace which livened up the spec
tators and caused considerable amuse
ment The course of the race was
west on Fourth avenue from the
neighborhood of the Holland House
and north on Webster street as far as
the eye could reach. Odds were of
fered that Al Slaby would be unable
to overtake the streak of Green which
he was pursuing. The leader in the
race lost his hat and shoes, but sue,
,eeded in making his ~"get-away.' One
of the shoes can be had upon applica,
ton at this Office.
Cowles, Bladen and Blue Hill each
had successful celebrations, and most
of the people of Red Cloud who could
get conveyances celebrated at one OF
the other of those places.

River Brldse DamaSed.

The exceedingly high water of the
past few days caused great incon-
venience to travellers and business
men who had freight in transit. The
river at this point was the highest in
many years, some even going so far as
to claim it was the highest eve known
here. All traffic on the Burlington
east and west wa abandoned from Sat
urday morning until Wednesday
morning. Trains were SEN around by
way of Hastings and their arrival and
departure were very uncertain.
The bridge across the Republican
river south of town has been declared
unsafe and closed to travel. The south
pier has settled about two feet, and
that end of the bridge is sagging bad
ly. The work of repairing the bridge
has already been begun and it will be
but IA short time until it is again open
ed for traffic.

New N. Z. Church Finances.

The handsome new M. f. church
building is rapidly approaching COM
pletion and when finished it will be a
credit to the membership, to architect,
to the contractor and to the town.
However, such splendid additions to
the substantial welfare and architect
ural beauty of the city a not be
made except at heavy expense to some
one. The membership of the Method
list church in this vicinity is none too
wealthy and they ask all the people to
aid them in their endeavor to raise
funds to pay for the building before
the time comes for ~dedicating it.
AS the result of the first canvass for
subscriptions to the new church fund
pledges amounting to S3,3SG.45 were
secured. OF this amount S2,}3S.l3 was
collected and paid out for work by the
old board last year, leaving a balance
OF Sl.34S 81 uncollected.
Work on the building was discon-
tinued during the winter, and this
spring the new board let the contract
for the completion of the building to
Mr.. Chambers, the stipulated price
being $4,000. a second subscription
was taken this spring, S2,j2S.32 being
secured. OF this latter subscription
s940 has been paid in, leaving a bal,
ance of 81, 5SS.32 uncollected and n de-
~ficiency of 1922 wholly %unprovided
for.
When the contract for the compile,
ton of the building was let this spring
l.. l.. Boren, John Coon and l.. III
Rust obligated themselves to see the
work was paid for. The old subscrip
ton is now being collected in, anG

hope of securing sufficient pledges tc

bridge had been washed out The

channel near the @ st side. The

struggling they managed to get out
The crossing is dangerous when the

How would you like to have about a
quart of ice water squirted up your
pants leg when your thoughts were
miles away, on other and more pleas
ant things. Well, that is what hap
pened to Ward Hayes, the tonsorialist.
the other day, 1t was this way: Ward
went into Grice's drug store to get IA
pane OF glass. This necessitated a trip
skyward for a few feet on the eleva-
tor, and Ward accompanied Mr.. Grice
