All the school boards of the.
county are becoming intensely inter-
ested in Standardization and wher-
ever two or more of them gather,
this is always the chief topic of
conversation. 1t exemplifies a not

and one quite commendable. AT the
annual school meetings, standardized
ton was greatly discussed and many
are preparing to enter the ranks,

Trash All Neutrality-suspicious. Are
Meeting Their Judgment

The last of the towns trash was
hauled away to the city dump today
and have you not noticed the great
change for the better and more
beautiful? With the lawns clipped
in the best of style, the dandelions
noticeable in their scarcity, and the
backwards having no unsightly tin
cans and old wire, with flower beds
and gardens in their stead, our lit
tie city has taken on much differ
ent aspect In the week just ending.
The efforts of the women of the
city federation and the city officials
have been successful.
Two tons of dandelions had been
weighed at the city hall at 1 o'clock
today and an equal number was
expected the remainder of the af-
ternoon. George Yeadon, assistant
fireman, was doing the weighing and
told Of one person who had brought
in $50 pounds. It's great, on with
the show.
