Some Nuisances.

On Depot street, near the Depot
street railway bridge, there are some
nuisances that should be abated.
These nuisances are growing, day by
day. It is not now safe for pedes-
trian travel, especially for children
or lone ladies. There is cafe run
by some colored people that keeps
the streets in front of their door
filthy, and filled with scrapping, foul
mouthed boys-several at a time.
These are impudent, saucy distur-
Dances, and fights along here are
quite frequent. Besides, there is,
and has been, some mud holes near
the sidewalk that keeps the walk al
most impossible. These mud holes
should be abated by the property
owners. If not by them, then by the
city authorities; if these fail, try the
grand jury.
These impudent loafers, negroes
and whites, should be arrested by the
police. The streets of Greeneville
should be decent, safe and attractive.
These points pointed out, are near the
depot, visible to the travellers, and are
not good advertisement for our
otherwise handsome, growing town.
Why not special policeman in this
neighborhood?

IOWA AVIATOR PRAISES WORK OF
Y. M. G A.

81 found the Y canteens and clubs
mighty convenient and helpful insti-
tutions in France" said Capt James
Norman Hall of Colfax, probably
Iowa's best known aviator, in talking
of his experiences.
Captain Hall was one of the first
Americans in the great war. He was
tramping through Wales just for ad-
venture when the war broke out, and
enlisted with Kitchener's army i'm
mediately. 1t is with this experience
that his book %Kitchener's Mob
deals.
He enlisted in the aerial service
two years later and has had all the
thrills and adventures that any sol
der could desire. Reports of his death
have been forthcoming several times
but invariably this young soldier OF
fortune has turned up serenity and
safely.
eff one may judge by the use which
the men made of the Y. M. c. A. or
ganizations, then there is no question
in my mindas to the usefulness and
excellent nature of the work being
done in France" says Captain Hall
II used always to stop at the Y no
tel in Paris, and all of their canteens
and clubs for officers and men were
always filled with soldiers"
"The concerts which they gave were
of the very finest kind, and frequent
ly attended them when on leave. The
audiences were most enthusiastic"
II want to speak particularly OF
one bit of work being done in Paris
by Y woman, Mrs. Lewis Chase. She
received permission from the organi-
cation to rent a large homelike apart
ment where she keeps open house for
enlisted men only. Every night in
the week, Sundays included, she has
a whole house full of boys who are
in town on leave. or are connected
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1919-04-23

with the army organization in the
vicinity of Paris. Mrs. Chase's job
is mighty important one in my
opinion. This is only one of the many
fine things being done by all the Y all
over France"
Little unpleasant incidents in con-
nection with the Y of which some of
the soldiers have been making much
ado are not at all typical. The sad
thing is that too many soldiers are
altogether too willing to enlarge on
such stories forgetting all of the real
ly fine things being done for them
by the Y. M. C. A."
{ while no organization is beyond
criticism, and the Y is no exception,
it appears to be the American custom
to criticize something. Personally l
think it great pity that so many
should forget the innumerable SPLEEN
did things the Y is doing and think
only of their mistakes, which are very
few it seems to me in comparison with
their really worth while work"

THE BEST PURCHASE YOU CAN
MAKE

Order dinner at cafe, stick your
fork into it, and unless you finish
the meal yourself it becomes garbage.
Buy suit of clothes, wear it a
day and you can sell it for about half
what you paid for it, if you can dis
pose of it at all.
Buy an umbrella, run it down the
street, and it becomes second hand
worth perhaps from fifty to seventy
five percent of what you paid for
it,,
Build home and you have an in
vestment-an investment that increas-
es in value as time goes on; an in
vestment that is worth more year,
two years or five years after you built
your house than ON the day you moved
into it. Ask your banker if this isn't
true.
Are you spending your money or
investing it? There's difference.
Build home and realize the bene-
fits of the best purchase you can
make.
