BRUSH AND WEEDS MUST BE CUT
Highway Commissioners are Required
to Enforce tho Law.


One Of the laws passed at the last
session of the legislature makes it the
duty of land owners to cut all weeds
and brush in the highways adjacent to
their premises on or before the first day
of July in each year. 1t may at first
seem that this law imposes a hardship
and an unnecessary amount of work at
busy time in the year but when the
improved appearance of the highways
is taken into consideration the matter
of pride in ones surroundings will cas-
lily compensate for the work required
Along some roads the brush has been
neglected for years and allowed to grow
80 that it has almost grown into the
travelled road, shutting out both the
wind and sun and thus keeping the
road in bad shape for use good share
of the year. Under the new law it is
the duty of the highway commissioner
to see that the weeds and brush are cut
and if the property owners do not do
the work then the commissioner must
have it done at the expense of the own
er. Some of the provisions of the law:
Section g of the law says 'It shall
be the duty of the overseer and commits
sioner of highways to cut or cause to be
cut, prior to the first day of July in
each year, all brush within the limits
of any highway passing through or by
such lands. The law does not apply to
shade trees set out by property owners
Section provides that the commits
sioner shall publish notice not less than
ten days before the time weeds shall be
cut.
Section provides that If the owners
or occupants of land refuse to cut the
weeds or brush within ten days the
highway commissioner and overseer
shall cause the same to be done.
Section provides that an accurate
account of expense shall be kept and
with ten per cent additional shall be-
come lien upon the land and be col
lected, same as other taxes.
Section provides that any highway
commissioner or overseer who refuses
or neglects to perform the duties pre-.
scribed in the act shall be deemed gull
ty of misdemeanor and liable to fine
of $40 to $25, or imprisonment not to
exceed 30 days in Jail.

Senator Burrows Announces Hls

Although it has been generally under
stood that Senator Burrows would he
candidate tc succeed himself as U. s.
Senator, formal announcement to thai
effect was not made by Senator Bur
rows until Monday. The short, direct
to-thepoint letter, addressed to the
Burrows Club of Kalamazoo, has been
read with great satisfaction by the
thousands of friends of the Senator in

to stir the party feeling Of some OF the

Now that the women have re-
ceived rights accorded men at the
polls, are they to sit as jurors on
trials in which sometimes the
most obnoxious features of lowest
human conditions are brought out?
Will girls and women have to
listen to evidence that would bring
bushes to the face of even the
most blase lawyers? That is what
the law says for every woman who
is registered on the oil books, and
is a taxpayer is liable to sit in
the jury box.

sponsibility with the privilege they
have gained? Wiz they refuse 20

will Women Refuse to Sit AS

Details of Crime Brought Out

1T must never be considered that
Ignorance is innocence. In this
day when sexual mocals, or social
hygiene, as it is called, is begin
ming to be discussed with free
dom and frankness, it is better that
those who have been unfortunate

have their eyes opened, even

Should it be deemed advisably,'
Mrs. Mason concluded, to bring
about change of conditions, il
should only be done with careful

Not Question of Intelligence.
Judge Chapman, of the superior
court, who tries most of the Grim
inal cases, refused to express any
opinion on the question as ii may

He stated however, that he remem-
bered in territorial days when wo-
men did serve as jurors and thai
to most women it was a disagree
able duty.
The issue does not resolve it
self into a question of the fitness
of women for the jury. or that they
lack the intelligence for that duty
but whether it be detrimental to
Iwomankind to expose themselves

Two types of women figured
prominently in the recent success
full battle for suffrage in Wash
ington state. One included the
followers of the late Susan B..
Anthony, who have long worked
and talked and prayed for the
right to vote. The other, a group
of aggressive young women of
means, numbered the new re-
cruits and threw themselves into
the work with an impetuosity
which did much to win the vic
tory. Mrs. George 4. Smith of
Seattle, was leader of this
younger set. She gave up her
Gibbs and her calling list, and de-
voted time, talents and money to
the cause. She brought the ques-
ton into the limelight in a
spectacular manner, and is credit
ed with considerable portion of
the success.

FAIRY CUPID AND THE POET

This poet, unlike most poets

of his own in the Adirondack

And one fall night when the rain
was pouring in torrents and the
wind blew in fitful gusts, as the
good poet learned If he opened his
door so much as one inch, the
kind-herted man was much con-

Presently there came a knock
on the poets door. And then u
childish voice came to his ears:
PLEASE let me in, Mister Poet (;
I am perishing," he heard in a
trembling treble.
And of course the poet rushed
to the door and opened it-and
found an almost naked child stand
ing on his doorstep, armed with a
bow and arrows.
Come in, my child, come right
| in" urged the good poet. Come
in and share what | have. 1t is

The child was, indeed. chilled to
the bone; so the poet made the
child drink and eat something
warm, and soon they were chat

waif.
