The time of year at hand, when
Gainesboro should be put in per-
feet sanitary condition. Espec-
ialy should the breeding places
of the fly be destroyed. These
are decaying manure, and with
put little trouble can be disposed
of. 1t is filthy to have flies about
the house, and it makes no diff.
erence how clean the house, if
you have flies the filth exist some
where about the place, or your
neighbors. By the cooperation
of all our little city can be made
spotless.

overtiows Its banks, depositlng Oh either
shore rich silt or earth that is highly
conducive to bumper crops, and the
wise ancient Egyptians, realizing this,
profted thereby.

registered their cars for 1916, are e1-
pected TO rush in for number plates

is up TO date in sending out plates.
In 1918 Iowa had about 10000 snto-
mobiles registered So far there hay
been about I2o, 900 cars registered for
1915"
The eleventh hour rush In the auto
department began last Saturday. Ap.
nlicatfons for number plates flooded
the office. The clerks were using
large waste baskets to hold the drafts
and checks which came in. The total
daily collections Increased greatly last
week. The secretary OF state sent to
