Not a F%ault-Finder

1t would indeed be strange If one
week should pass without us finding
fault with something about town.
There is nothing very strange about
1t when you stop to consider why.
Individually we are not perfect by
any means and collectively we are
no better. And, is it not the mission
of q newspaper to advocate anything
that is for the betterment of a town
or community? 1t certainly is and
for that reason whenever we discover
soMething that ought to be done
which would materially benefit the
city, we simply tell you about it.
That is the reason we say things, and
not simply because we delight in
faultfanding. Kindly consider our
statement in the light explained
above and see If we are not right.
We are not fault-finders-we are
simply trying t o do our duty.
Now we WOULD like to have a lit
tie heart-to-heart talk about the con-
dition in which we see some of the
principal business streets.
There are a few, and thankfully
only a few, business men who almost
completely block the sidewalks with
their display of godds in front Of
their places of business. This is rad
ically wrong. The city ordinance
provides that the sidewalks shall be
of a certain width and the purpose
of the walk is for the use of pedes-
TRANS and not for SOME dealer to
use as a place of storage for goods.
Another "kick" we want to make
is the way in which some of our
main business streets are monopo-
liked by blacksmiths who line mp
array of old broken vehices, machin-
cry, ETC., making the streets not
only unaightly ba(t dangerous for
refractory teams. and, in some in
stances almost impossible. This is
wrong and SHOULD be stopped.
A hint from the chief of police
might have the desired effect on en-
ring ones, but in case that failed, let
him nsa his and COO that
the sidewalks and streets are used
properly.
A word to the wise should be suf-
ficent and we hope that it will not
be necessary for any further com
ment from us on the subject and that
the erring one will cheerfully COM
ply with the city ordinances and
give the public the use of the walks
and streets.

Weeds are Being Cut.

There has been a marked improve,
ment in the condition of the streets
and alleys during the past week. The
city authorities have had a force OF
men engaged in cutting the high
grass and weeds along the high
ways and by-ways and the attend
ant result is a greatly improved city
in appearance.
Now citizens, get busy and do
your part. Don't wait until the au-
thorities cut your weeds. Have
enough pride for your home, your
city, and we will add, your reputa-
ton, as a progressive citizen to do
your duty without c%ompulsion. Let
us all do a little and the result will
be that we will have one OF the most
beautiful little cities in the great
central west.

Sizing ND "a Town.

If you are going to investigate
a location, wouldn't your first steL
be to send for copies of the local pa,
pers and study their advertisements?
In no other way could you put youl
finger so quickly and surely
on the pulse of trade You
could tell much more easily thar
by walking through the streets whc-
Their it was a live town or dead one
and just what forms of bupiness
were most active.
And if you judge another town
in this way-how about your own?

The other day a bride stepped from
her fathers house ran the gauntlet
of flying rice and old shoes, and
reached the carriage. She was about
to enter when an old shoe, hurled by
a guest struck one of the horses.
He plunged and frightened his mate.
The pair ran and the bride began her
happy life with a broken leg. In
time, remarks the Youths Compan-
ion, we shall outgrow the thirteenth
century style of humor which leads
us all to add discomfort and embar-
rassment, if not danger to a nerve
