stage. The one thing on which
all authorities are agreed is
that good sanitation and obser-
vance of the ordinary rules of
health affords the best possible
protection. Whatever other
measures are adopted we should
clean up and keep clean. This
is always good practice, and
with the very real danger that
every community faces just
uow it becomes imperative.
Waste matter should not be al

Weeds should be kept down.;
manure should be removed;

out the error? There Z
many exaggerated statements
made during the heat of the
campaign, aud the Oulemee
Herald is not wholly without
blemish in this respect. For
instance, we might insist that
Matt correct the falsehood
which he printed as an editori-
al, designating this publication
as Stairs Courant.' He has
never done so, altho this was a
statement made by him person
ally and not by a contributor.
And we shall not expect Matt
to do so. because he would
thereby admit the distinctly
human attribute Of error.

a contributor to the Courant
made the assertion that out of
the twenty three bankers in
the last legislature, twenty-one
voted against reducing the leg

the Omemee Herald and de-
mands that we deliver over the
contributor dead or alive, or
personally stand responsible
for the statement, which it des-
ignates as A falsehood. Matt
is smelling down the wrong
hole, if he thinks the editor of
the Courant, or any other pub

for the statements made by
contributors. The fact that
this particular contributor
signed his initials in place of
his full name, does not in the
least change the status of the
case. The identity of the writ
er is known to the publisher
and can be produced in the
event of a libel suit. Other
wise it is not necessary. As to
the correctness of the state

Y. M. c. A. TO HOLD
 WRESTLING TOURNEY

Dr. Mitchell of the Young Mems Chris tian association will hold an amateur wrestling tournament to take place Tues day, May 16. The amateur rules will govern, which eliminate the hammer lock. full Nelson and the punishing toe hold.
 Amateur wrestling when properly super vised is one of the best forms of exer- else. It is unfortunate for the sport however, that rough and underhand tac- tics are permitted by the professional wrestlers.
 There will be six divisions as follows:
 10S pounds and under, 125 to 1S5. 1S5 to 14o. 145 to 15s, 15S to i75. All over 175.
 A trophy will be awarded to the win- ner of each division.
 A great number of men and boys can be seen wrestling on the "Y" gym floor almost any afternoon or evening, and large number are expected to participate in the tournament.
 The tournament will be in charge of Professors Mitchell, Robbins, Abell and Winn. Any man wishing to enter the tournament will be coached during the coming week. No register fee will be required to enter this tournament. Any one wishing information on details should see Director Mitchell.

RACE FOR TREASURER What a Salesman Says Who Has Been Over the
 County
Birmingham, Ala. May 6, 1916.

To the Voters of Jefferson County:
 Within the last week my duties as salesman have carried me all over Jeff ferson county and I was afforded an ex- cellent opportunity to judge the views of the voters on the race for treasurer It is surprising to note how little effect the mud Singing campaigns in the newspapers is having. while the work being done by the personal friends and old schoolboys of Prof. Henry is having telling effect, which shows that friend ship goes further than money.
 I didn't go into a single beat where did not find an overwhelming senti- ment for Prof. M. V. Henry for treas urer.
 It seems to be case of where the other fellows are fighting each other and accusing one another of all kinds of bank deals while the friends of Prof. Henry are presenting him on his merits alone as an honorable gentleman, capable in every way to perform the kduties of the office satisfactorily to the people.
 The people appreciate fair and square dealing, and the conduct of the cam paign of Prof. Henry commends him to the people, as the returns will show next Tuesday.
 The day of the mud-slingers is disap- bearing.
 The vote Tuesday will sound their death knell in the election of Prof M. V. Henry as treasurer Yours very truly WYTHE D. SIMS. Raid Political Advertisement by Wythe

What is declared to be very success full substitute for suburban life is en- joyed by a family which occupies a six room suite constructed on the roof of a 20-story building just off Broadway, New York The head of this family is super intendent of the building. and it is he who has transformed the flat roof into yard and garden. This skyscraper gar den is described, with illustrations, in the May number of Popular Mechanics Maga- zine. In numerous boxes filled with earth are grown flowers and vegetables. To- bacco and cotton are also being experi- mented with. In one corner of the yard Is coop and runway in which chickens and ducks are kept from early spring un- til late in the fall. A sundial and vases lend an artistic touch to the lofty re- treat At the close of the day when work in the big building Is done, one may find the superintendent enjoying an hour be- fore sunset digging among his plants or attending to the needs of his feathered friends just as though he were in the country.
