We are at a loss TO under
stand why some citizen should
attempt to make : the city
council members pass all or
dinance that would COMPEL a
railroad to pay for a street
light, as was done at the
meeting Monday night. A
town, as a matter OF fact,
should furnish tax payers with
Jiecessary lights. AS all eX-
ample, it would be unjust, no
matter how the law may read,
for the town to COMPEL 4
merchant or a bank to pay for
the street lights. For all ex-
ample, it would be unjust, 10
matter how the law might
read, for a town to COMPEL a
merchant or bank to pay for
the street lights. The people
should have some cousidera-
tion for some things 4some
times, if not all things atEsall

SWAT THE FLY.

Remember the old adage:
"An ounce of prevention IS
worth a pound Of cure" and
swat the fly. If the insldious
little insect that yearly causes
a depletion in the ranks Of
good, healthy American clti-
zens by its capability and
capacity for carrying disease
germs were swatted upon its
initial appearance i'll the
homes every spring we would
soon have normal health con-
ditions once more as i'll the
davs of our forefathers.
True, there are many other
sources for disease to be carrl-
ed besides the fly, but he IS
the chief one and right now is
the time to wage war upon
him. At this time Of the year
.H,e eggs are being laid where
BY millions more will be
Matched out by summer. II
they are killed at this stage
the benefit gained is many
fold greater than the same
slaughter a month latter.

Every man is a part of this
town. The town embraces the
fortunes, and i'll some measures
at least takes OH the character
of the man. So loyalty to ones
self; and this loyalty is i'll the
line of all wall shaped human
nature. Therefore it is right
to say that the man who does
not stand up for his town is i'll
some way dwarfed.

1t doesn't pay to gossip
about ones neighbor. Let lis

In trying to tighten anotller's S

Too many boys leave the
farm where they would have
made. substantial and good
citizens, and go to the city
where only one i'll a thousand
succeed i'll LIES battle. There
are farmers who fairly drive
their boys away. There is no
excuse for this. The farmer
boy is entitled to his vacations,
to several relaxations, his
visits to the city, good books,
magazines and his home
paper.

The best way to build up a
town is to stand by every man
i'll the place who does right:
Whenever q man is doing we'll
do not tear him down. All
residents should be partners,
not opponents. IN all livell-
hoods the more business your
rival does the more you will
do

Push means a lift for your
self out of the slough of des-
pondency and shiftlessness,
out of trouble real and fancied.
Push never hurts anybody.
The harder the push the
better, if it is given i'll the
right direction. Always push
up hill---few people need a
push down hill.

When 4 town ceases to grow
it begins to die, and the more
people try to kill each others

the more readily will utter
ruin come to all. Stand to-

ability to prosper do not pull
him back.

Young man, remember this:
All the friends who can gather
about YOU can never make
your life a success; neither
can Your enemies make it a
failure. 1t rests with you to
determine whether you shall
succeed or fail. Just put this
thought on your memoranda,
and study it carefully.

Bows who are in the habit
of killing our song birds with
air-guns and sling shots, are
probably not aware that such
sport is in violation of the
state law, and any person who
sees them kill a bird can have

every offense.

Nov there should be a
general cleaning up all along
the lins, every alley and by
place should be properly
cleaned. This should be done
in order to keep the atmos-
phere as pure as possible, and
thereby hedge against the
different kinds of disease that
are the outgro~th of filth and
impure surroundings. An
ounce of prevention is better
than a pound ef cure.

When the people can be
made to understand that it
actually costs more i'll time
and money to travel over a
poor road than it does to travel
over a good one, they will be
less inclined to begrrldge the
expense of good roads, and
what is more important still,
will be willing and anxious to
put the business of road max
ing into the hands of intelli-
gent men who understand the
business. Poor roads are the
expensive things that curse a

The one thing that we would
like to see the council members
take and put a stop to, is the
dumping of trash from yards into
the streets. While some may be all
right. there are many dumps put
into the streets that contain any
thing from plank with nails in If

These things not only mar the APP
