Now Is the Time to Swat the FLY

Uncle Sam is waging a relentless
war on the deadly househy and in
a late bulletin prepared by the
Department of Agriculture, valu-
able information is given on the
best means of combating this dead
ly pest. The most effective way
of exterminating the fly, according
to the bulletin, is to eradicate his
breeding places. The breeding
season of the fly begins early in
March and continues throughout
the summer months. All dirt
should be removed from the prem
isss. stables cleaned and decaying
vegetables destroyed.
The fly has rightly been called
the undertaken travelling salesman
and in addition to his regular line
of typhoid bugs. he carries
sideline of tuberculosis, Asiatic
Cholera and other disease germs.

NEXT Tuesday the citizens OF
Ely will be called upon to cast
their vote for or against the new
charter as published in the Miner
for the past five weeks.
The new charter as prepared by
the commission of fifteen freehold
ers has much to recommend It.
It furnishes basis upon which to
build a code for the city that can
be made of much benefit.
The new charter is not the best
one ever made, in fact there is no
charter in use in any city that we
can think of which is not subject
to doctoring at any and all times.
The charter under which the city
is at present trying to do business
is obsolete and about twenty years
behind the times.
Several paragraphs in the new
document are not exactly what is
wanted by all the people. In the
preparation the commission spent
considerable time and we can safe
ly say that at no time during the
charter building period did the
commission come together on all
the points. The majority vote was
used and the document upon which
you are to vote next Tuesday is
the result.
Don't make the mistake of listen
ing to the roorbacks of few who
feel that the new charter should be
killed because it just exactly does
not conform to their Individual
ideas on certain points. Look for
the good points and then balance
them with those you think are
poor and cast your vote accord
ingly. If you cannot consistently
vote for the document after study
ing it carefully, why it will be
your duty as a good citizen to vote
against the measure. Don't how
ever make the mistake of killing it
on the say-so of some one with an
ak to grind.
We need the new charter badly
and as the one now before you is
the best that can be furnished at
the present time, it should receive
careful consideration. Charter
building is hard proposition and
the fifteen men who comprise the
charter board spent many hours in
its preparation. It must also be
remembered that the document as
it stands has cost and will cost the
city quite a sum. Besides the
chances are that not another will
be prepared for several years and
the council will be forced to plug
along with the makeshift now in
use.
