Civic League Notes.

Has anyone told you to cut your
weeds? Why not do so without being
told
A good time to cut wee Is, during the
dry weather. They are more easily
eliminated.
Elmer Shade, the paper man, har-
vested alfalfa on two or three vacant
lots, last week It would be a very
good move If property owners would
seed vacant lots to alfalfa, they would
have no trouble finding some one TO
harvest the alfalfa. 1t IS always a
difficult matter to get some one to cut
weeds.
In some cities where play ground
facilities are limited, certain streets
are roped off during hours designated
to provide safe place for children to
play. Hays has a playground and does
not need such provisions. The plan
could profitably be used TO insure less
disturbance during the Sunday evening
services on the Court House lawn.
We hear every day There is less re-
gard for rules governing the driving
of cars in Hays than anywhere. 3" We
fear an accident might some day occur
on our streets, that viii be appalling
There will be no one especially to
blame, yet those will be to blame who
should make and put into force certain
safety rules. In lieu of city ordinances
or safety zones marked in our streets,
governing routes of automobiles and
other vehicles, signals such as are used
in other places would help to prevent
collisions or real accidents. The
signals referred to are: When driver
is going 70 turn a corner TO the right,
he or some occupant Of the car should
extend the right arm out-or If turning
to the left, the left arm-far enough 50

streets OF the city, large steel oil bar
