TOWN IMPROVE m ENT
NOTES
What We Might All Do Individually
For the Betterment of Our Town.

On Madison avenue the roadside is
not we'll kept-if each person would
keep the grass cut in front of his
house, even on the outside of the
sidewalk, it would add much to the
appearance of his property and to
the street.
Leavitt street and East Leayitt
street, particularly, could easily look
better. Do not forget that some one
sees the back yards and back yards
are often the storing place for all
sizes of boxes, from the piano case
down to even the canning case. Such
a cluttered place never looks as
though it belonged to a very pros
porous person, so pick up and have
such thingsssplit up for kindling
wood or carted away. Old tumble
down fences are not ornamental
where fences are not needed-why
not take them away?
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1912-07-18

We ought even, to keep the side
walks in front of our houses swept,
and the road edges trimmed evenly
both little things to do, but which
help the looks of the town, also keep
the driveways neat and free from
grass When our lawns are well
kept our streets free from clutter,
and everything in good order, there is
not a prettier town in the state, of
equal size. So let's all try hard to do
our part-and not be waiting for
someone else to start first.
Please do not throw empty candy
boxes, paper bags or strings, into the
street People who are slack in little
things like these, must be slack at
home in bigger things.
During the hot dry weather, keep
matches away from children, and we
may in that way avoid bad fire.
Give plenty of water to all your
animals, especially dogs, 1t is a safe
precaution to take. Do not leave your
horses standing in the sun-they feel
the heat as much as we do, and can
not we'll endure too much of 1t. If
you abuse your animals it is your own
loss, in the end.

The Tribune has just completed the
publication Of Oscar H. Will & Cos.
seed catalogue for 1918. The present
one Is the 30th annual catalogue issu-
ed by the pioneer seed house and
nursery of the Northwest. About
100000 were printed, and, as the Trib-
une has printed the catalogues for
his well known firm for the past 80
years, that fact alone is evident that
the work must have always been sat.

BISMARCK MAGAZINE
IS Still PUBLISHED
JIM JAM JEMs is PRINTED At BIS.
4 MARcK IN GREATER GUAM.
TITLES THAN EVER.

Some OF the Northwest newspapers
seem to have gained the impression
that jim Jam Jems has been sup
pressed. On the contrary, the maya
zine is enjoying larger circulation
than ever this month, special orders
having come by wire from several Of
the larger cities in the east. The De.
Icember edition, which was the largest
yet issued, Is practically exhausted,
although it has been on the market
less than one week.
n While the publishers have been i'll.
dicted by the federal authorities, the
question Of whether or not the maya
zine has right to exist Is one which
must be determined by a jury. And
oven though the publishers are con-
victed-which seems to be generally
doubted-the magazine cannot be sup
pressed Each issue stands on its own
feet, and Is independent OF any other
months. issue. Thus while one num-
Der may be considered improper, the
next one might contain nothing that
even the most exacting critics could
find fault with. So there isft any in
dication that Jim Jam Jetas will dis.
continue publication, regardless OF the
extent If the prosecution Of the pnb-
