purposes. For what else
should it be used? We will concede
that there is a temporary shortage
of money, but it is only temporary,
as some fifteen thousand dollars oc-
cupation tax money will be paid in
on or before July 1st, and no doubt
the sprinkling contractor will wait
a month or two.
The streets are in good condition.
and do not need repairs or grading
as last year. when about $40, 900 was
spent for this purpose; and besides,
there is nothing that keeps the
streets in good condition and saves
repairs like even and regular sprink-
ling. The present system has grown
from one sprinkler to two in the past
eighteen months, and from covering
Main street only t a large urea reach
and has proven entirely satisfactory
and a success. 1t seems with these
conditions the Council should put on
one or two more sprinklers, instead
of taking off those now In use.

Advice to Knockers.

There is some wholesome advice
on a display card in the window OF
the Roswell Hardware Company. The
members of this firm are among the
busiest boosters in the city, and do
not like knockers, The card reads:
DON'T BE A KNocKER.- Hide
your little hammer and try to speak
well of others, no matter how small
you really may know yourself to be.
When a stranger drops in, jolly him.
Tell him this is the greatest town on
earth-and 1t is. Don't discourage
him by speaking i'll of your neigh
bors. There is no end of fun in mind
ing your own business. 1t makes peo-
pie like you. Nobody gets stuck on
a knocker."
