to run nati, complete tour Ct the
lcIty shall have been made. All trash
will be collected free OF cost and
hauled to the dumping grounds. The
public is urged to cooperate In this
work
Let us rid our. city of flies and
mosquitoes The best way To do
this Is TO destroy their breeding
places. Flies make use OF manure
piles. open privies, garbage, etc. II
such nuisanees are allowed 20 exist
IN your premises, there viii be
plenty of flies in your neighborhood,
No matter how clean your neighbors
keep their places, you can supply
enough flies for all If you do NOT
clean UP your trash piles. So let
each one OF us see to 1t that his place
lis made clean next Thursday. Your
cleanliness will be an example 10
your neigibors. and by cooperation
We can all be ahundantly re-
warded
Mosquitoes breed wherever there
Ii water and not TOO much sunshine.
Wells. cisternsr rain barrels. cutters.
horse tronghs. tin cans. refrigerator
Idrips-all these ae eagerly seized by
the mosquitoes as good places in
which to lay their eggs. Then after
ten days each mosquito is rewarded
By an offspring colony countless in
numbers. The killing of one female
mosquito now before her eggs are
laid is as good as killing thousand
OF her daughters two weeks later
So let us do the work nov. Ii you
will keep your premises clean. We
will look after the creek, the branch
ea and various other pools OF water
about town; and pretty soon mos
euitoes will be curiosities in our
midst.
This Ii a work that no one man
can do, No small group can do ii.
The neglect of one or two in your
neighbornood can offset ali the good
efforts OF the great majority living
In your neighborhood SO let there
be no siackers among us Let
everybody work for the good health
of our town. We can have rbe clean
esf and healthiest city 10 the world
