SEASON FOR HOUSECLEAN.
ING.

With the approach Of spring,
careful housekeepers always be-
gin the task of spring cleaning.
Walls, windows and floors, be-
sides various and sundry pieces
of household and kitching fur
niture" are after careful scru-
tiny, usually subjected to a
thorough-going cleansing pro-
cess and for a week or more
brooms, mops, brushes and
busters vie with soap and wa
ter in the crusade against dirt
and disorder. These energetic
workers may be real lovers of
cleanliness always, but their
zeal at this particular season
also comes from their knowl-
edge of the fact that the cold
of winter kills many dangerous
germs, which thrive nightly
and revel in the warm summer
weather. If such a practice is
necessary to the health and hap
piness of the family, is it not
most imperative that towns and
cities also observe "spring
cleaning?" We notice the cam
paigns have already begun in
other towns and suggest that
plans be made for cleanup
week" in Lancaster. 1t is i'm
portant that all back lots, store
premises, streets and alleys be
put in proper condition before
the time of the insect pests.
All breeding places for flies and
mosquitoes should be done
away with. Much can be done
to keep off these deadly foes by
carefully and persistently de-
stroying the haunts which they
frequent, but once upon us, we
are soon at their mercy. A
cleaning beforehand will
be worth month or more of
toll later on. SO let's begin
and by we is meant not the au-
thorities alone, for, important
as is their work, they cannot ac-
complish all that we see is need
ed. Of course the authorities
must take the lead as it is the
towns work, but naturally
every citizen is expected to do
his part. See that your own
backyard is in a perfectly sani-
tary condition and report to the
proper officials any unsightly or
unsaYritary place you may have
noticed about town. We should
see to it that there is no possi-
bility of disease being caused
from dirt.

way of news, as the session now

LOCAL AUTO DRIVERS ARE
VIOLATING STATE LAW

The state law governing the
operation of automobiles, which
provides that they must not be
driven through city streets where
there are: horse-drawn vehicles
with open mufflers, is constantly
being violated, according to those
who have been )" sufficiently in
terested to look the matter up and
the police department. will be ask
ed to discourage the practice as
much as possible. It is claimed
that the practice is particularly
abused late at night and during the
early morning hours by Joy riders
to the annoyance Of people living
along the paved streets in the resi-
dence districts. The city Of Hh-
bling now has Q special AUTOMOBILES
officer and several drivers have
recently been arrested for running
with open mufilecs and exceedng
the speed limit. Careful drivers,
say those who know, never find
It necessary to drive their ma
chimes for dong periods with open
muftlers and likewise it is claimed
that Just because one Owls %
automobile he has no right to nake
10 noise like the battle OF Shiloh
up and down the city streets.

Gil have been sitting this week as
a board of equalization at the city
hall, listening to petitions for
assessments. There have been
few such petitions before the board

ginia's assessment is one of the
most carefully made and accurate
in the state. The work of Assessor
John Krogdahl is being reviewed

satisfactory. The system used her

lessened and valuations are accur-
ately determined from the first.

ALL ROADS ANXIOUS FOR
VIRGINIA FREIGHT BUSINESS

All the railroads running into
Virginia are just making an extra
effort to land their share of this
city's freight business. The Cana
dian Northern and the Great Nor
them are particularly active. Wi b
this end in view the Great North
ern has recently made change in
the running Of its local freights to
the end that better dispatch to
this city may be had. The local
freights formerly ran through from
this city to Grand Rapids by way
of Swan River. Hereafter the 10
Gals will run only to Swan River
and return. The new move will
shorten the time On freight debiv-
cry here several hours.
