Notice to Householders and
Property Owners.

Hereafter all garbage, refuse and
ashes must be placed in proper contain
ers, such as garbage cans, boxes or
barrels and not thrown upon the ground
surface. Ashes may be used to fill in
low places in alleys, provided that no
wire, glass, nails, iron, or other metallic
refuse be contained therein.
All garbage containers must be sup
piled with suitable covers to prevent
access to flies and other insects. Hard
ware dealers can supply you with suit
able containers, or you can make them
yourselves.
To thoroly kill all larvae of flies and
other insects sprinkle coal-oi or kero-
sene over all garbage and manure piles
two or three times per week, thus avoid
ing flies carrying filth and contagion to
your tables and foods.
Conservation of human health and
often lives is of vastly more Importance
to the community than conservation of
the worlds mineral or forest reserves.
can ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure" so get busy and keep
your yards, alleys and cellars as clean
as yourselves.
Farmers should also be careful and
take particular and necessary steps to
prevent "fy breeding places" to accum-
ulate around their homes, thus saving
themselves from danger of contagious
and infectious disease contamination
and also of carrying the same to others.
Screen in the out-houses, barns and
manure piles and you wont be hollering
SO loudly in month or two about that
common pest, the house-hy getting into
your soups and vlctuals. Take advice
and use your gray matter.
Privy vault within the city limits
that are not up to the city ordinances
will be condemned for further use.
Druggists here furnish suitable disin-
fectants and antiseptics, so that you
can keep vaults clean and harmless.
Don't allow yourselves to become sick
first from any of these sources, and
then wish that you had taken the neces-
sary precautions.
All fruits and vegetables sold within
the city limits must be protected by
netting, screens or encased in enclosed
containers.
You cannot, without good health,
make fortune, much less fair living,
so keep out of all danger to yourhealth
from summer contagion sources. And
don't forget to swat the fly" every
chance that you can do so.

PULSE OF THE STATE PRESS

Forbes Republican: Alex. R. Wright
of Oakes, who is a candidate for county
treasurer, was a pleasant caller on his
friends of this place last Monday and
Tuesday. Mr.. Wright has made his
home in this county for the past TWEEN
ty-four years, and seems to be pretty
we'll known among his friends here.
He is now editor of The Oakes Times
Anyone who reads Mr.. Wright's paper
will know Immediately that he is man
of ability and understands his business
most thoroughly, and has made a sue
cess of it.
Gwinner Prairie Press: Carl Torgen-
son, who has had eleven years of con-
tinuous service in the state auditors
Office, most of the time as deputy, it
seems is to have no opposition as can
didate for state auditor. He says he
does not feel that the people owe him
anything, therefore asks the honor of
nomination and election from bust
ness point of vleW-as a promotion for
long, continued service, and fitness for
the higher position he now asks, gained
through actual experience by service in
every clerical position of the depart
ment. Mr.. Jorgenson is Sargent
county boy, his home being in Minor,
and the Prairie Press, in common with
practically everybody in the county,
most gladly accords its support.
Saturday Evening Post: "Vote as
you shoot!" used to be the sapient ad-
vice given to Republicans. We are
hoping they vote as they think. In
those states that furnish the backbone
of Republicanism, wherever the men,
bers of that party have had a fair
chance to express themselves at prim-
ary elections they have rejected Mr..
Taft and the school of politics he stands
for by majorities ranging from two to
one to twenty to one.
The Old Guard, however, at this
writing, is still imagining that the
Presidents nomination may be forced
by combination of bosses.
A great majority of free Republicans
having declared they do not believe in
what the President stands for, the
bosses propose to arrange that they
shall vote for him nevertheless. Will
they?
What, except principles, should at
tach plain voter who isn't seeking
office to party? If the party repu-
dates its principles, what reasonable
cause of attachment is left? In give
and-take, compromising world there is
usually practical virtue in submitting
to the will of majority; but if'a great
majority can be compelled to submit,
through party attachment, to the will
of small minority that controls GER
tain political machinery, we are long
way off from democratic government.
To find North Dakota, Wisconsin, Illi-
nois, Nebraska, or even Pennsylvania,
voting for Mr.. Taft next November
would be a discouraging sign of the
times.
Such a showing would mean that
Progressives are not yet ready to throw
off boss domination.
