creditable efforts were made Of keeping
the streets and backyards clear pf rub
bish and mosquito breeding mud holes,
but the manifold public activities required
in connection with the war, resulted in
the neglect of matters of this kind. Now,
however, the time is ripe for paying
more attention to home and municipal
affairs. We feel certain that our people
will heartily cooperate with our spen-
did officials in this highly important work.

LARK FROM THE TONES!

Of his unveiled criticism of his former
 chiefs reputation of that Manchester
 speech. but because it serves to recall
 an interesting episode in Mir. Bryan's
 brief career as secretary of state. The porticn of MT. Bryan's article
 which has bearing on that episode is
 his stirring reference to France. In
 another article in the same issue of the
 Commoner he says:--"France wants us
 to stand back of her, although we are
 without any power to compel her to
 pursue a policy of peace. She will be less inclined to stir up a quarrel with Germany if she has to rely upon her own army to settle it.'
 MT. Bryan's sinister effort to dis credit France in the eyes of the Am erican people serves to revive memories of the close relations which he at one time held with that official representa- tive of Austria Hungary and catspaw for the German Kaiser Dr. Constantin i Theodore Dumba.

If some women had their way they would get new husband every time they get new hat.
 Some men are born obscure. some are elected vice president and others marry militant suffs.
 You won't get anywhere by pretending that you are better than you are. You must convince people that you are better than they are.
