or initiate negotiations looking to
peace. But it is pointed out that
Italy is ready to examine into peace

Notice

The local Board Of Health in call
ing upon the citizens of Sank Centre
upon the opening of a new year, per-
form that duty in more cheerful
and optimistic spirit than ever before.
Supported as we know we shall be,
by wide-a-wake and progressive or
ganiZation Of our business men; by an
active and enthusiastic civic league
and the untiring zeal of faithful and
industrious roaGmaster, whom we
would welcome as member of this
Board, and by the evident pride TAKE n
by our people in our beautiful little
city, we feel that Sank Centre will
easily maintain her reputation as an
example of sanitation and cleanliness
and beauty. In view of the some
what advanced season, we have de-
cided to limit the clean up period to
May 10th, by which time we hope to
see our city in dress, and ready TO re-
ceive callers. While matters are pre-
sented for our consideration, we
would make but few suggestions,
leaving the rest to the good taste
and pride of our citizens. There are
many vacant lots, most of them bor-
dering on streets, to convert these
unsightly weed nursery into trim
and profitable gardens, requires no
effort; there are numerous people of
both sexes would be glad to perform
the necessary labor, taking the re-
sultant crop as payment in full.
Then as to the distribution of waste
paper on our otherwise well kept
streets; we are promised by the city
council an increased number of bas-
kets which will be placed where most
needed and the habit of using which,
once formed, will be the most effec-
tive in identifying the city, and earn
ing the plaudits of those who may ia
vor us with visit during the season.
'Civic Righteousness" is becoming
watchword throughout the land; let
us all enlist under that banner, and
aspire to a leading position in that
army.
