dispatches from Geneva stating
that nearly 300 mountain climbers
have lost their lives in the Alps since
signing of the armistice indicates
that what has been called the 'noblest
of sports is destined to spring into
renewed popularity after it's eclipse

TT is one of the queer quirks of
human nature that the unknown ex-
panses of mysterious waters should
have lured explorers from earliest
times and that mountain exploration
should have been neglected until a
few centuries ago. Indeed, it was
nearly 800 years after Columbus made
his daring voyage to the new world
that Europeans looked to their noun

successful ascent of Mont Blanc.
Fear Gods in High Hills.
Some of this seeming lack of
curiosity concerning the ridges and
peaks about them may be attributed
to the fear of ancient peoples for the
gods they believed to inhabit the high
hills, and to the later superstitions
that devils, bad fairies and evil spirits
lurked among them. The Alps, for
example, were believed to be the
dwelling place of dragons which. II

THE CORONA.

The Corona is known as "The Per-
sonal Writing Machine" This porta-
Bile typewriter weighs but six pounds;
in its case nine pounds. 1t is dur
able, light enough and small enough
to be carried anywhere, strong
enough to stand every possible condi-
ton of usage and produce work equal
to any machine on the market. The
United States Army bought 1850
Coronas during it's participation in
the war, and more than 5000 Coro-
mas were purchased by individual
soldiers and sailors. Owing to it's
lightness, the Corona is special
favorite with the women. Costs less
than half the usual typewriter price.
Ask for catalogue or free demorstra-
ton. Sold on payments if you de-
sire.
Quite number Of Coronas are in
use in Missouri Valley, and many
more machines will be in use here
when the people become acquainted
with the famous little typewriter. The
fine carrying case, Eastwood covered
with black, fine grain fabrikoid, is
given free with each machine.

DO NOT THROW RUBBISH INTO
THE CUTTERS.

1t seems that some Of the citizens
of Missouri Valley think the street
cutters are made to carry away all
the rubbish, refuse and sewage accu-
mulating around the place. 1t is a
mistaken idea. The cutters are made
to carry the excess rainfall. The
sewers are made to carry the sewage
from the buildings.
If we throw rubbish into the gut
tiers, when the rains come it washes
down into the gratings, clogging them
up, then flooding the pavements and
scattering litter and refuse over the
streets. AS most of this is deposited
on the downtown areas, it is a NUS
ance. 1t causes foul stenches and is
an eyesore to our city. 1t fills the
catch basins and causes needless eN-
pense to the city to have them clean
ed.
We pay men to safeguard the pub
lie health, yet we sow breeding places
for germs with every bit of trash we
throw into the gutter. Typhoid, NAL
aria and hosts of other disease breed
ing germs thrive very well in plugged
sewers and fouled cutters. And yet
we fail to take the slightest trouble
to burn the rubbish.
City ordinances forbid the throwing
of rubbish in the cutters, and if the
practice is not stopped, steps will be
taken to curb it by rigid enforcement.
Such means cause unnecessary ex-
pense to tax payers and much hard
feeling.
Let us work together and have a
city beautiful in name and deed. If
you see anyone thoughtlessly throw
ing refuse where it will wash into a
gutter, gently remind him that he is
imperiling the public health, break
ing the law and adding expense to
the city. We all mean we'll, but some
times do things that seem insignifi-
cant at the time, yet have far reach
ing results. Altogether for clean
and sanitary city.
