GET RID OF OLD CANS
THEY BREED DISEASE

Science has proven that the old tin
can that strews the alleys of the city
is one of the worst disease breeders
that has been found. The remains of
the contents left in it and the fact
that rain water stays in the can and
breeds mosquitoes and other pests
makes it a danger to be reckoned
wit. 1t is just as necessary to clean
up all the old tin cans as it is to
keep the alleys and yards free of
garbage of all kinds that breed flies,
mosquitoes and disease green's. A
clean city is always a healthy city
and there is no proof that can be OBJ
tanned to the contrary.

and the sky line Is clear as country

Of its buildings adds beauty and dig

Fairgrounds are within the reach of
every child; where living is pleasant.
toll honorable and recreation plentiful
where capital IS respected, but not
worshiped where commerce In goods
is great, but not greater than the in
terchange of ideas; where industry
thrives and brings prosperity alike to
employer and employed; where educa-
ton and art have place In every
home; where worth and not wealth
give standing TO men; where the power
of character lifts men to leadership;
where interest in public affairs is a
test of citizenship and devotion TO the
public veal is badge of honor; where
government is always honest and eff
cient and the principles of democracy
find their fullest and truest expression
where the people of all the earth can
come and be blended into one commu-
nifty life and where each generation
will vie with the past to transmit to
the next city greater, better and
more beautiful than the last.-Mayo

STORY OF A LAWSUIT.
Queer Way In Which an Umbrella Case
Was Decided In Poland.

The Central Law Journal says that
the old fable OF the lawyers and the
oyster, in which, the ownership of an
oyster being contested, the lawyers ate
the oyster and gave a shell TO each of
the litigants, is matched by story Of
q lawsuit which Russian journal re-
lates as entirely authentic.
In city of Poland. it appears, two
men came into court with suit over
the ownership OF an umbrella which
had been left IN a restaurant Each
one introduced evidence TO prove that
the umbrella was his Being unable
to match the wisdom OF Solomon by
dividing the umbrella between them.
the judge postponed the case. Pend
ing its decision the umbrella was left
in the judges private room.
Later, as he left the court to go
home, the judge found that the wealth
er was rainy. He went back to his
room, took the umbrella which was in
litigation and spread it over his head
in the street. On his way home he
went into restaurant and left the
umbrella on the rack. and when he
was ready TO leave the place he found
that 1t had been taken away by some
unknown customer. Then he bought
another umbrella and took it to his
courtroom.
When the case came up the litigants
were confronted with it, and neither
was able to identify it as his own.
The court thereupon fined them both
for invoking the law on a frivolous
pretext, and they departed empty
handed and decidedly 'nonsuited."
