Do Your Bit-Clean Up

The Village Improvement Committee
would like the cooperation of all resi-
dents, men and women, boys and girls,
in making the village tidier and more
beautiful.
AS things now are some of the streets
are ga sight to behold'', especially on
Sundays, because of the waste paper,
cigarette and other boxes, fruit Feelings,
cigar stubs, &c, with which they are lit
tered. If a little care was taken to put
such things into the receptacles already
provided for them, the village would
present a much heater and more attrac.
tive appearance. So get busy and show
your good citizenship by cleaning up
your yards, both front and back, during
the next two weeks; then keep them
clean, and stop throwing litter into the
streets.
Also if those who drive about the vii
lage with teams or autos will take care
not to run across the small plots devot-
ed to flowers, the ladies who work hard
to beautifV such places will be very CRATE.

Food Control

President Wilson is urging on the Con
gress the necessity of passing legislation
that will curb speculation in food prod
ucts, which have risen to price heights
never reached before in this country.
The food situation is Justly regarded
by the administration as second only to
military Importance, and the full power
of the President is likely to be exerted on
the National Legislature to stop the ac-
tivities of the greedy and heartless gen.
try who are seeking during times of pub
lie misfortune to rob the people that they
may accumulate fortunes.
Nothing would please the public better
than to see some of these food robbers
brought up with a round turn by the fed
eral government, which is not gentle in
dealing with offenders of this kind. Food
control by the federal government would
be something unusual in this country,
but it is warranted by war conditions
which have been taken advantage of by
INSCRIPTIONS spectators. Already the
federal power has been used in the direc-
ton OF encouraging production of food
supplies and that excellent work will be
largely nullifed if food gamblers are al
lowed to practice their nelarious business
at the expense of an already harrassed
people.
