have been given instructions to act
at once. It needed no investigation

Many Devils Lake people are trying
hard to have good lawns this year and
are spending much time In the care
and cultivation Of the same. In many
parts Of the, city there is much com.
plant because of children and dogs
spelling lawns. Children should be
taught that they should assist in beau
tifying the city instead Of injuring the
grass. And the tax on dogs should be
enforced. This might eliminate some
of the canine tribe. 49,. .5EEss
