SHOULD STOP MAKING 1T

The account of the meeting of
National Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton, which began at Louisville
Tuesday, appeared in the press of
that city under the heading, "To
Start War on Drunkenness" Think
of the inconsistency of the propo-
sition! Manufacture something to
make a man drunk, use every de-
vice known to human ingenuity to
make him drink it, and then get
together to consider plans to stop
him! If the liquor trust really
wanted to stop drunkenness it
would stop the manufacture of its
products.-Bluegrass Clipper.

ing advantage to every resident.
We might inaugurate question
campaign. We might ask everyone
we meet what can be done TO inn
prove local conditions. We might
ask them to do the same with 9TH
ers, end keep on asking and alb
sorbing a knowledge Of conditions
until not subject remains undis-
sected. We might do this with in
finite advantage to everyone con-
cerned, for it would serve to bring
into the limelight those defects
which are retarding our commercial
growth and profitable conditions in
the future.

YOUR PATRONAGE SOLICITED
LET EVERY DAY
BE CLEAN UP DAY

You have, we presume, been do
ing little cleaning up and polish
ing up around your premises of
late. That is good, and very COM
mendable, and we admire you for
it. But let us gently whisper in
your ear that one lone cleanup is
not enough. Things look nice, and
clean, and pretty just now, but in
a few weeks they will begin to
take on a dingy and ragged APP
pearance, and every additional
week will but emphasize the de-
pressing and destructive effects of
indifference and neglect. Do it
again, and keep right on doing it
at frequent intervals. 1t will add
cheer to your own life and to
those of your family and friends.
It's a good thing to do and we
hope to compliment you on keep
ing right on with it,

THIS THAT SHOULD BE
DOME FOR OUR RETIREMENT


of this town and the adjacent
farming community. There are
many things which, if we could
do them, would give us better
town and better community. For
Instance
We might improve, and enlarge,
and broaden our educational sys-
tenn. What we have is good, but
it could be made better and more
of gratifying results.
We might have better and more
sanitary buildings. We might give
greater care in the training of our
children for the battles of life, as
well as the implanting Of purely
educational knowledge. We might
see that the bodies of our children
are exercised, and strengthened,
and developed in a more scientific
manner, in addition to their in
tellects. We might give greater
moral and material support to
principals and teachers, instead of
the meagre and half indifferenent
support that is accorded them
now. We might do these things,
and if we did would have children
developing into more intellectual
and powerful men and women of
the future, and it would be good
for the community.
We might encourage each citizen
to be more loyal to local interests,
and more considerate of each 9TH
er. You can break a pipe stem
with your fingers without difficult
ty, but it takes an axe or saw
to bring down a tree. And yet time
was when the tree was no bigger
or stronger than the stem of the
pipe. It's strength comes from con-
slant growth and development, just
as we as a community would grow
and develop if we could only make
up our minds to stick together.
We ought to do it, for our own in
dividual good and for that of the
community as q whole. But loyal
ty to home interests must be the
first and most vital step in our
advancement along the road to
local prosperity. Without the first
step no others can be taken.
We might encourage our women
to take a more active interest in
the affairs of the town and the
rural territory. The day is past
when women are supposed to have
no minds above dress or the wash
tub. Today they are recognized
universally as the mental equal Of
men in practically every sphere of
life. In many respects the average
woman is unquestionably our SUI
perior. There then would seem no
valid reason why she should not
have an equal voice in civic as well
as domestic affairs. Certain it is
that if we could inject the strong
and splendid personality of our
womanhood into municipal affairs
we would in time come to see a
vast and wonderful Improvement in
local conditions. We need their
aid, their advice, their assistance,
and some day we will have it to our
everlasting joy.
We might try the experiment of
INDUCING in praise and commenda-
ton instead of fault finding and
criticism. BY commencing that
which is good in our midst we
might unconsciously stimulate a
desire in our own minds to improve
that which is not so good, in order
that it, too, might be commended
and praised. The bitterest and
most nauseating pill is rendered
pleasant and agreeable by a little
coating of sugar, and it might be
even so with the rough spots in our
daily existence. Every great end
ing has had its origin in small
and few humble words

FIRE DEPARTMENT
H AVE PECULIAR
CALL TO ANSWER

A Pickering light on the upper floor
of the Redington street schoolhouse caus-
ed an alarm to be turned in from Box
SO on Water street at 6.43 Sunday eve
ming. The department made quick run,
put a ladder against one Of the upper
windows, where the room was seen to be
the ladder. kicked in the window and
doused the blaze.
Assistant Chief Ivers, who tried to get
at the source of the fire, was pretty
nearly laid out by the overpowering
fumes, and investigation by Chief w.
w. Berry and other members of the de-
partment revealed the fact that they
had unwittingly turned the hose on fun
igation candles just placed by DIR. J. w.
Stewart Of the board of health, the fisk
ering of the candles having attracted the
attention of the passerby who turned in
the alarm.
DR.. Stewart had just left the building
when the alarm rang, and proceeded up
Water street through the crowd running
to the fire. without knowing that he was
the innocent cause of ali the rumpus
When he reached Common street he was
told by Officer Frost the location of the
fire and hurried back as the apparatus
was leaving the scene. DR.. Stewart felt
somewhat aggrieved because the depart
ment had spoiled his fumigation of the
building, while members of the depart
ment expressed the opinion that it should
have been notified of the purpose of the
health board to fumigate, as there was
no way Of their knowing the cause un-
less told beforehand
DIR. Stewart and Superintendent Of
Schools Charles N. Perkins remained at
the building until late Sunday evening
to board UP the broken window and do
over again the work of fumigation, which
is understood to have been occasioned by
a few suspected cases of scarlet fever.
