POLITICS y e WOMAN'S GAME.
Kansas Woman Mayor Now Ready

Hunnewell, Kan, Aug 7.-"Politics
is not a woman's game" This is the
decision of Mrs. Ella Wilson. mayor
Of this town, who since her inaugu-
ration has had a continuous fight
with the male city council. They
have not confirmed her appointees
for city marshall or city clerk and
she has not signed any Of the ordi-
nances they passed.
Mrs. Wilson tonight, for the first
time. admitted she would quit if she
could, saying politics is not the place
for a woman, but at the same time
she turned on the members Of the
city council and forced the members
to listen to her.
The meeting tonight accomplished
nothing except to pay for the repairs
on the town pump as the mayor
would sign no ordinances passed by
the council, and the council would
do nothing the mayor wished.
At the close Of the meeting Mrs.
Wilson telegraphed to Governor
Stubbs to begin custer proceedings
against the membrs Of the council.

habits. its practical energy, its de-

Lee had the traditions of an older

America was the America of Lincoln.
Lees the America Of Washington.

are many suggestions that We might
adopt in our own homes
Take away all the ashes and dirt
from your back yard Immediately,
send your rubbish to the dumping
ground
Clear out your cellars, stables, and
sheds. Whitewash your cellar walls,
fences, and hen-houses.
Burn all rubbish that will burn.
Clean your vacant lots and alley
ways.
Avoid mixing ashes and garbage.
This is against the law. You may be
fined five dollars.
Refrain from throwing old paper,
banana or orange skins into streets.
Plant some grass and flower seeds
to make your home beautiful. Every
house should have a little green grass
and few trees.
When you have cleaned up keep
your yard clean all the time.
Dirty yards cause flies, sickness,
death.
Old tin cans hold water; water
breeds mosquitoes.
Rotten garbage makes bad air

bodies made big doctors bills
