Some people are getting anxious
about The Leaders, subscription
list. It makes little difference to
US, from a business standpoint,
whether subscriber takes The
Leader through curiosity, or in
terest or loyalty to what is just
and right. Different motives i'm
pei different people and all classes
take The Leader. 1t is a dis
tinctive element in the field of
journalism; has made its own way
so far, and will so continue with
the loyal support that has always
been accorded it and for which it
is duly grateful.
Would it not be wise as soon as
cool weather strikes US, to thor
oughly fumigate our residences
with view to killing the mosqui-
to while in its torpid state. Last
winter, during the coldest spell in
February, mosquitoes of unusual
proportions were alive in the COM
Portable homes of some OF our
residents. By using sulphur or
pyrethruni this Fall and then
watching standing water, vessels,
puddles, etc., next spring, there
may be some hope of lessening
our danger from this infectious
insect. A stitch in time saves
nine.
