RELIEF IN SIGHT

From the dilatory action of the
Council it would seem that q pen
atty is being placed upon people
who live on Front street,
Last year all necessary legislation
was passed in favor of oiling the
street, but this year certain MEM
bers of Council have held up the
work until the dust on the street
has become almost intolerable and
the people who own property on
the street and pay the cost of the
work became disgusted and de-
manded their rights. The matter
was taken up directly with the
President If the Council who read
lily saw the justice of the claim and
ordered immediate action and the
work will be completed this week.

How TO Become a pnet

The art. of writing poetry is very
difficult at first, but it becomes easy
by practice" says an English writer.
The best way for a beginner is to
take line from another poem; then
he should construct line to fit 1t;
then, having won his start, he should
strike out the first line (Which, of
course, does not belong to him) and
so ahead. When the poet has written
three verses of four lines each, he
should run out and find girl some
where, and read it to her"
