 Relief.
REFER TO VERA CRUZ
Say That if Vera Cruz Could be Freed of Mosquitoes in Two Days "Why Not Pine Bluff Salary for
 Sanitary Officer.

The ladies of the City Beautiful club last night sent communica- tion to the mayor to be read at the city coulcil meeting, in which they suggest certain improvements be made which, they say, would rid the city of mosquitoes.
 The communication states that during the "clean up campaign, the supervisors of the different districts found many nlaces which were badly in need of attention, and if they were ! not remedied before the summer was over, the mosquitoes will accumulate and cause sickness. In part the communication says: "Please don't smile and say we can't control the mosquitoes. Other places have made war on them and eXtermi- mated them within short while. Vera Cruz got rid of the pest in two days, why not Pine Bluff?'
 Our motto is, I believe, '60,000 in 192O.' Rid Pine Bluff of the mosqui- toes It can be done. Make Pine Bluff the cleanest and most sanitary ! city in the state, and advertise it as | such, then watch us grow
