YOU WOULDN'T BE SEEN
WITH A DIRTY COLLAR; WHY
LIVE IN A DIRTY TOWN?

The Children of Israel spent forty
years in the wilderness; yet we have
Io record of any single death from
typhoid nor cholera nor other plaques
curing that time. Why? Because
every day was cleanup day.
We are trying our very best to
make Wahpeton the cleanest City in
the State. for a clean town means a
healthy town to live in 1t is now an
admitted fact that flies are carriers
Of many kinds of diseases and are
more dangerous to the human race
than wild beasts.
We therefore request that all citi-
Gems and property owners make
proper arrangements to clean up
their premises and remove all ma
nure, tin cans, paper and other un-
slightly filth and rubbish
We must insist that all alleys and
yards are properly cleaned up and
rubbish removed to the dumping
grounds on or before May 1st. 1t
IS not bad idea to "Swat the Fly, +"
but why not remove the filth and
rubbish early in the season and
thereby do away with the breeding of
flies entirely?
Let everybody get busy and put
his premises in a clean and neat ap-
pearance, thereby impressing every
stranger who comes to our city with
the fact that Wahpeton is a beautiful
place to live in.
If city is dirty and suffers from
alth and disease. it is not the fault
.of the laws but of its citizens. A
!. community is like mirror; it reflects
the people. If the people are clean
in mind. they will be clean in person
and their premises will be clean.
We will do all in our power to see
that Wahpeton is made cfean little
city and we have a right to expect all
good citizens to help us in our ef-
sorts.
Do not wait for your neighbor to
start things moving. Be the first
ane yourself.
LOUIS FLIGELMAN,
4Stl Mayor.

COUNTY AGENTS CORNER

During the past week the County
Agents of North Dakota met in con-
ference at Fargo. The plans for the
coming season were discussed and
adopted. Wheat acreage came first.
The conclusion reached was as fol-
lows: Put in more ares of wheat
wherever the ground is such that a
crop seems assured. Put in your
usual tcreaga so much better that in
creased yield will result.
The labor question came next. 1t
is a very difficult proposition. 1t
was decided to organize all towns
and villages. These men are to be
used in emergencies. The Federal
government has also established a
labor agency in Fargo and Mime
apolis as well as at various points
over the entire country. Farmers
needing men can write to this office.
Men can not be guaranteed, but may
be supplied if there are any to be
gotten. Neither can the quality of
man be guaranteed. 1t is easy enough
to let the man go in case he is not
satisfactory. Farmers. however. are
advised to arrange their work is such
way that they can use help that is
more or less incompetent. War con-
ditions make this necessary.
Many other matters were discussed
but the above are of most immediate
concern to our country.
Potatoe are cheap this spring. 1t
is to be hoped that farmers use lot
of them for seed purposes. 1t will
be a good war measure to raise po-
1atoes. 1t will help us out on the
wheat shortage. Housewives can
save wheat by using potato recipes.
Pamphlets may be obtained at this
office
1t is now time to organize the boys
and girls into clubs. These clubs
are for the purpose of stimulating
interest in agriculture. They offer
opportunities to show real patriotism;
to do some usful work; to make a
little money, and to learn something
really worth while. 1t is to be hoped
that every community in the county
will organize their boys and girls for
the purpose of food production. This
work is worth while at any time.
This year it becomes an important
war measure.
Signed. GEO. P. WOLF,
County Agricultural Agent.

Whera Canes Arc Popular.

There Is probably no country In the
world where the use Of walking sticks
Is SO general as in the United King
dom. Practically every man carries q
cane, not only In the towns and cities,
but also In the country; and, In addl'
ton, there is a large demand for walk
ing sticks for women, these being used
extensively in the country and ut sea-
side resorts, but not to a great extent
in the cities.
The winter months are always rainy
and even during the summer the wealth
er Is often very unsettled, so that the
use of umbrellas Is also unusually
great. These conditions have made
the manufacture OF umbrellas and
walking sticks an important industry
In the British isles.

Money may be mlsused. The power
