A Safe land Sane Fourth Of
July for Minnesota

Minnesota promises to head the
list of states this year where
safe 'and-sane 4th of July was cele-
brated. Public sentiment is de-
veIoping in Minnesota along proper
lines. This is shown by the re-
ports received from many commu-
mites III Minnesota that civic and
commercial organizations, church
societies and social organizations arc
taking the matter in hand TO have
Independence Day observed with
out needless sacrifice Of life, limb
and property.
The modern idea of celebrating
4th Of July is fast eliminating the
old style nerve-racking, noise max
ing celebration with its long roll
of blindness, lockjaw, death and
manning. With a further devel-
opment of this public sentiment
this plan OF observing the anniversary
of signing of the Declaration of In
dependence will be thing of the
past, especially in Minnesota.
The fire marshal's department is
especially interested in the great
loss by fire which always follows in
the wake of the annual celebration.
For this reason the department ur-
ges all newspapers in the state to
take occasion to boost for safe-and
sane observance of the day and to
point out the fact that the splendid
ideals of the Revolutionary period
can be remembered on that day to
promote a wholesome influence and
spread an intelligent appreciation of
what the holiday means without so
mnch sacrifice.
The number OF deaths and acct
dents on 18th OF July is decreasing
in Minnesota, but they should he
eliminated altogether. For this rea-
son the state fire marshaps depart
ment stands ready to assist in a state
wide movement to put Minnesota in
class by itself in tins respect in
July. 1915.

GOOD ROADS DAY
Will be Observed by Improving One

Tuesday. June Goth, Good Roads
Day., and it Is fitting that the peo-
pie of every community observe the
day in such manner as to advance
the nation wide movement for bet.
ter roads.
A number of the mon of our viii
lage have agreed to devote the day
to the improvement of some part of
the local roads. 1t has been sug-
gested that the section of the Maple
Hill road lying within the village
limits be the scene of operations.
State Engineer Geo. B. Hughes will
have charge of the work.
The observance of the day will
afford an opportunity for the dis
plap of proper civic spirit and will
put our village in line with progress
sive communities in this and other
states.
That the movement may not be
an entirely masculine affair 1t has
been suggested that committee of
ladies aid by the serving of an after
noon luuch.
In order that the proper provi-
sions be made for the necessary tools
all who wish to aid in the good
work are invited to report to Engi-
neer Hughes on or before Monday,
the 10Th.
The people of Maple Hill are also
invited to help in this work, as the
road to be improved will be of as
much benefit to them as to the poo
pie of the village. Let's all get
out and show our good will.
