lay aside petty self-interest, and work together
for the general good, will put this town on tie

make our town more attractive. Pull together
and bring our boys and girls to realize that in the
development Of our national resources, in promot'

schools, In building better roads, in developing
manufacturing enterprises, in bringing in up-to-

If you respond to The needs Of your town with
what your town needs from YOU, then no matter
what your vocation may be- you are, indeed,
rood citizen. When dozen such citizens get to-
ether they can resurrect town from the dead
and make it an ideal town to live in. Environ
ment creates Tendencies. What is the environ
ment Of the boys and girls Of our townG Ideals
and ADJUSTMENTS affect Character. Impure water,
foul closets filthy back yards, merchandise unpro-
tected from flies, affect Health. We don't want
any more Typhoid Fever, Malaria, Diphtheria, in
our town. Paint and lime are two of the greatest
disinfectants ever discovered Let us paint up our
residences and stores and whitewash trees fences

That Submarine Went on
Her Last Dive.

New York. Feb. 19.-In a 40-minute
battle between a German U-boat and
the French line steamship Guyane off
the coast of France on Jan. 20 the
submarine was sunk. according to Of
ficers of the freigbter which arrived
here today from Bordeaux.
The Guyane was one day out from
port. At $3.50 p. M. Captain Rousselot
said. the U-boat was sighted some dis
tance to port and apparently endeavor-
ing to cross the freighter's bow to stop
her. The submarine fired a shot
which fell short and the Guyane then
turned sharply to starboard SO that
her big 65 millimetre gun. mounted at
the stern, could be trained on the ap-

Washington. Feb. 19.-The interstate
commerce commission today postponed
from Feb. 81 to March Is the opera
tion of its recent order requiring rail-
ways to return under $4,000 penalty
empty coal cars to connecting lines.
The order adopted as a measure to
relieve congestion after the railways
had unsuccessfully sought to do so by
their own rules. was regarded as the
forerunner of other similar orders to
be applied to all classes of freight cars.
Recent action of the railroads, how
ever in agreeing to return as speedily
as possible all empty cars on their
lines. 1t is understood. impelled the
commission to postpone the effective
date of its order so that the railroads
might have a further opportunity to
relieve congestion by their own
methods.
