A COMPARISON

Several days ago | was a visitor
to neighboring vicinity. Driving
along the countryside, | was impress
led with the appearance of the country
homes. They looked fresh, neat and
clean. No old rickety fences, no de-
bris Of any kind in sight-not even
weed Someone in the car re-
marked to me, every house looks
as If it he'd just had a coat of paint.
When we entered the town we were
greeted with clean. tidy streets, well
kept lawns and right in the heart
of the market place stood a court
house surrounded by beautiful green
grass and some trees. The courtyard
took on the appearance of park.
There were some good men" sitting
on benches under the trees of this
courtyard. / wondered when / saw
them there enjoying themselves if
they saw to it that waste paper,
sticks, strings, old rickety benches
and other trash was not dumped on
the grounds of the courthouse. /
wondered If the citizens Of this town
thought too much Of their town and
county to let them be obscured from
civilization by weeds and debris.
This beautiful sight caused me to
call to my mind nv own town and
county, and my own home for compar-
ison. On the whole, there was no
comparison, but d contrast! | could
see the weeds on the vacant lot adj
joining my yard how unsightly
they looked / could hardly wait till
| got home to cut them and, believe
me, the first thing / did when / got
home was to cut those weedsl |
found a boy waiting to cut those weeds
for a quarter, with which to buy a
thrift stamp"
Suppose we were to think enough
of our own premises and our town
to keep weeds cut. Suppose we never
threw any kind of debris on the
streets or on the courtyard. Suppose
we walked on the walks of the court
yard, and not across the grass, MAX
ing pig paths.
Just supposed Would we not be de-
lighted with Covington, and would
not visitors publish us wherever they
went?
Let's join hands and hold them
high in keeping our town tidy and
clean. Not only for looks sake should
we do this, but for health's sake
also. A COVINGTONIAN.

SUMMARY

Associated Press Summary-The
British troops have driven their line
as far as the Canal du Nord, and
all reports received today from the
scene of action indicate that their
victorious progress has not yet been
checked. They have already driven
wedge into the German defenses
in the important sector between the
railroad centers of Douia and Cam
brai, which constitutes very Sc
rious menace to the enemy, who
must stop the British on the canal
if they hope to save their bases.
Reports also indicate that the Hun
ranks are completely disorganized.

EASY VICTIM OF
RUSSIANS PLOT

AMSTERDAM who as
sassinated General Won Mirbach, the
German ambassador to Russia, con-
cealed their weapons under the table
over which they were CONVEX sing
with the German diplomat, according
to details of the killing published i'll
the Berlin Lokal Anzeigcr, as coming
from an eyewitness of the murder.
Count Mirbach, Privy Councillor
Riesler and Lieutenant Mueller, were
seated with the two Russians at a
marble table in the middle Of the
room," says the witness. "On one
side were the Germans, and on the
other the Russians. All were seated
in low leather chairs, which was an
advantage for the Russians as they
were thus able to get their weapons
ready under the marble table with
out being observed, while their vic
tins, leaning back in their chairs,
offered an easy target.
During the conversation the Rus
slams began to turn over the pages
of their documents as though in
search Of some missing papers, and
the attention of the Germans was
thus distracted by this pause. While
Count Mirbach and his colleagues
imagined that the Russians were ex-
amining the documents, they had
drawn out their weapons under the
cover of the table
"Then they sprang up with re-
volvers, and begain firing; one Rus.
sian aiming at Count Mirbach, the
other at the two other Germans
Count Mirbach was hit in the back
of the head. On hearing the shots
people hurried in from the neighbor
ing rooms, and the Russians there
upon took flight, but before spring

hurled a hand grenade. Only one
grenade exploded, the splinters OF
which hit Count Mirbach killing hin

GAME V|OLAIOR
PAYS HIS FINE
Man Convicted of Killing Cow Moose
Paid His Fine Yesterday and
l. Released.

Preparations were made yesterday
by Deputy Marshal James Hagen
to send Andrew Dragich, who was
convicted on a charge of violating
the Alaska game laws, to Fairbanks
to serve out his fine in the federal
Jail there. Dragich evidently did
not relish the idea of spending
nearly three months of his time in
durance vile and at the last moment,
with the aid of friend of his, dug
up the money, amounting to $174.50
and paid it to the marshal. He was
fined fifty dollars and costs
The charge was brought against
Dragich at the instance of Game
Warden Steve Foster. Dragich, who
is an Austrian subject and conse-
quently an alien enemy, has not
even declared his intention to be-
come a naturalized citizen of the
United States. The charge on which
he was found guilty was that of kill
ing COW moose, the evidence against
him being very clear. The killing
tnf NJ
hibited by law, and warning is is
sued to hunters and others that &
violation of the law in this direction
will be punished to the full extent
of the law.
