For the past few days Sanitary In
spector Floyd Layton. assisted by Dan
Denman. has been devOting his at
tention to the work of cleaning the
alleys of the city. beginning first OF
those in the uptown district
The alleys be-ween Elizabeth and
Washington streets and Elizabeth
and Levee streets have been given
thorough cleansing, all litter, trash
etc, having been hauled away, after
which both alleys were thoroughly
sprinkled for their entire length
with generous coating of lime
As a result, these alleys really pre-
sent a decidedly more pleasing aspect
than Elizabeth street where there is
still mud, old bricks, trash, etc, in
the cutters. In fact, the bad habit
many who do business on Elizabeth
street have of throwing waste paper
on the street, continually keeps this
main thoroughfare looking dirty and
Sanitary Inspector Layton says he
intends to keep on with the good
work until the alleys of Brownsville
will be cleaner than ever before
known in the history of the city.

Postmaster Rentfro, therefore decid-
ed that he would discontinue the

by that route it would be impossible
TO get the mail here before tomOr-

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-"There are no

'I sometimes get out of patience
with merchants and others who cry
about tariffs and bad times. They

have a better method of farm produc-

IT am not afraid of the country going
to the bow vows. Conservation of
farming lands is wanted, and put 1t
into the hands of others than college
graduates who don't know what hoe

to handle a plow. The man who knows
how is the one we want to conserve.

the only or the worst thing we have to
contend with. The railroads are all
