TOWNLEYISM AND COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS. =

In it's 'Facts About North Dakota
Laws" Supplement, the Courier-News;
trying to cover the shameless grab for
control of the whole State Press, gets
mad and roars as follows Sit would
be impossible for this board to abuse
it's appoIntive (of official County
paper) powers more grossly than has
been done by. commissioners in the.
past"
The Courier-News puts this in black
face type so that County commission
ers of the past shall be sure to see it.
AS a large majority Of all County Com
missioner boards have been and is to-
day farmers, and all Of them con-
troled by farmers, it is to be hoped
they will realize how grossly they
have abused their power, and that
they cannot be trusted with designat-
ing official papers for their own
ty, not even until the next election.
There's hurry among the reformers to
grab this. local right and place 1t in
the State tyrant's hands.
"Sweeping reform In local papers"
is promised. Certainly. Sweep every
yelping cur that doesn't hunt and
bark for them out of the State. They
need the pap and patronage. the next
eighteen months more than ever. II
they can tide over eighteen months
and get eight or ten million of the

all because they grossly abused their

for County commissioners. OF course,
it's true many County commissioners
have an insight into taxes and public

A psALM OF PAINT

Tell me not in tones so %plaintive,
Paint is not necessity;
That the building painted
: Will last through eternity. "
Paint protects and paint defends us,
And the grave is soon the goal
OF the house that is not painted
AS the seasons onward roll.
In enjoyment and not sorrow
We should go about our way.
Go to work and paint tomorrow,
Better still, begin to-day.
Time fleets on and buildings perish,
And our homes, built stout and
strong,
Will decay and rot and moulder
If the paints delayed too long.
In these days of toll and hustle,
Grab a paint brush and a can.
Don't let's be an old back-number;
Save our buildings while we can.
Trust no future to be brighter,
When we'll be more flush with
cash,
Act now, in this glorious present,
Paint 'em up with vim and dash.
Homes of great men all remind us
We should paint our buildings
DER,
Tho the painter leaves behind him
Footprints on u vanished
floor.
Footprints of our friend, the painter,
Stepping on the undried stain,
| Left their trace. But what's the diff
f. ference?
We can brush them out again.
| Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a will that's strong, not
faint,
Be achieving, be preserving,
Learn to labor and to PAINT.
-Minette Ridens Miller

TEN GOOD SUGGESTIONS

1. Take away all the ahes and
trash from your back yard immedi-
otely. Send your rubbish to the dump
ing ground.
@. Suggest to several men with
teams that they drive through the
alleys with a sign, "Clean UP Wagon"
on their wagons; also a bell calling
attention. People are only too glad
to pay such a man for hauling their
trash away.
3. Burn all rubbish that will burn.
| Clean your-vacant lots and alley ways
4. Make your street and parking
look as trim and we'll kept as possible
S. Refrain from throwing old pap
er, banana and orange skins into the
streets.
6. Plant some flower and grass
seeds to make your home beautiful.
z. If your store front is dingy,
paint it. Nothing will do more to
improve the appearance of a town
than the liberal use of paint.
s. If there are unnecessary un-
slightly sheds in your back yard, tear
them down. They detfact from the
beauty of your home and the town.
Open space and fresh air are better.
8. If your walk is an eyesore to
those travelling over it, repair it or
build a new one.
10. Clean out the alleys back OF
the business houses at once.
BY all mean do your part to help
make your town cleaner and more
attractive.
