July this year meant little to Som
eryille and vicinity. 1t was last Sun
day, and Monday was taken by local
business men as holiday. All stores
about town closed for the day and the
day was almost like Sunday, but there
was no celebration or demonstration of
any nature.

employed in the mechanical department

Mayor Jno. w. Morris informs The
Falcon that the city authorities are
inaugurating a campaign in Somerville
against loafers and that it will be press
ed to the point that those loafing on the
streets without visible means of sup
port will be taken up and put to work
if there is possible chance for such tc
be done, and there is no doubt of the
states vagrancy law and the city or
dinances giving the authority needed.
Good for the administration. May they
succeed in toto.
The city authorities are having the
weeds cut on the streets as far as it il
possible with their means and the Labor
they can secure. They are meeting
with the same difficulty in getting labor
that we are all meeting and it is up tc
the citizens to lend them their help
The Falcon editor has pledged to keep
a portion of street much longer thar
his property clear of weeds for the en-
tire season and we are doing it. One
of our neighhors cut his a few days ago.
1t did not cost either of us much and il
helps wonderfully. Every home could
have this work done on its part of the
streets and assist nightly toward "a
city beautiful idea. Help the author
