Kasota, January 11.-A wavN o.
reform has swept over Kasota. Some
of the good people of this village
have taken it upon themselves to
serve notices on all those using slot

and cause them to be removed.
When the mayor and other officials
will not enforce the laws the duty
then falls upon good citizens. Peo-
pie who wish the protection of the
laws should see that the laws are
enforced. 1t is unfair, to say the
least, to demand enforcement of
part of the laws and break other
laws.
