TOWN IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED

1t would be a splendid idea if
our common council would wake
up next Monday niaht at the
Town Hall to some improvements
that would help materially in the
making of town beautiful i'm
provements that cost very little,
but largely beneficial to health
and clean, sanitary conditions.
The weeds are still growing
unmolested upon lots in the heart
of the business section; upon the
sidewalks of the town, literally
covering the new cement walks
that should be our pride, and the
grass in the cutters of Main street
growing so bold that it fairly
overlaps the sidewalks and is
vending its stately way toward
the middle of the roadway.
In one section of town, particu-
larly, on the north side of First
South street, it is impossible to
walk without STOPPING over in Or
der to keep the extending limbs
Of trees from gouging out your
eyes or knocking your hat from
off your head. A few hours
work would make this section
safe for citizens who don't own
autos and have to walk.
Weeds are the breeding places
for mosquitoes and these germ
carrying pests are multiplying. If
the weeds on the streets and lots
were all cut and burned up, it
would be great help in prevent
ing an epidemic of influenza.
Where owners of lots refuse to
clear them of weeds, the towns
moving machine could be put to
work and the expense assessed to
the owners.
Safety to health and a town
beautiful" should be the slogan
of every citizen. and particularly
of the common council. 1t really
should be an order of business at
every meeting of the council and
a very important one.

BURNING MONEY

Life is gay and blithe and sun
ny since the peace dove hit the
breeze; every one is burning
money just as though it grew on
trees. | insist on thrift and saw
ing, but there's none to heed my
words; johnnies say that ! am
raving, and throw money to the
birds. Men are drawing princely
wages, and their breasts are filled
with mirth, and they jeer fore
boding sages who predict a day
of dearth; but that day will come
rs surely as tomorrow's sun will
rise; things will then be going
poorly with the giddy spending
thrift guys. Things won't boom
along forever as they're booming
now, my friends; and the man
who's truly clever saves as ably
as he spends. 1t is patent to the
knowing. in expansive times like
these, that the kopecks won't be
growing always on the shrubs
and trees. There will come a
day of trouble, when this boom
is left behind, and the kopeck
and the ruble will be mighty hard
to find; happy then the lads whose
wages have been safely placed in
brine, who obeyed the seers and
sages, when the saving graft was
fine. And how sick will be the
mortals who like spendthrifts
now behave, who reply with jeers
and chortles when wecall on them
to save!-WALT MASON.

either, and say with certainty that
oil will be found beneath in paying
quantities, one can only make intelli-
gent comparisons, draw deductions and
form conclusions through his own and
the experience of others; so, | cannot
say that oil is to be found there, but
do say that the indications for oil in
this Bear Springs field, taken all in all,
are the best have ever seen IN an un-
developed field-better than they were
at Montebello. and certainly as good as
they were at Fresno, or IN the cele-
brated Texas fields. |. therefore, an
swer the question. docs the showing
at Bear Springs justify the sinking of
test well?"-it most certainly does.
Near the Bear Springs Butte, in the
anticlinal, and every physical condition
is there found as favorable as the ma
ture of such attrited surface would any
where allow. The oil sands should be
reached in 800 feet; but be prepared
to go 1000 feet if need be. Carry
down large hole, it is terra incognita,
and trouble from running sands is to
be expected.
In conclusion, desire to express my
appreciation of the kindness, good will
and helpfulness of all the people Of the
valley whom | had the pleasure of
meeting, and to thank Mr.. w. d.
French, Mr.. l.. J. Broshears. Mr.. w.
V. Thorpe and MIR. A. o. Lamoreaux
and others for taking me over the
country in their cars.
While my employment was for the
Bear Springs. Company, feel a per-
sOnal interest in the whole valley and
shall always be glad to answer any
letters of inquiry from anyone without
charge where the answers sought are
not to the prejudice of anyone.

MORE MONEY FOR HIDES

Better hides mean moreIeather,
better leather. cheaper leather
and 1--WE hope) cheaper shoes.
The U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture in an educational poster
being distributed and posted by
county agents urges stockmen to
take better care of hides.
They define a good hide as one
free from cuts, holes, grubs, de-
cay, flesh, dirt, dung and blood,
being sound, tight-haired and
firm. In skinning use the knife
sparingly as every cut cuts the
price, To get high prices clean
the hide before skinning, skin
properly and salt thoroughly.
When cured bundle the hide care
fully and ship promptly. The
better the hide the better the
price.

Garage rents that had been FIVE dollars month sud

And everyone with vacant lot began to erect little

There were so many garages built that the supply
exceeded the demand, and the price went down.
