 Prescott is getting d great deal of favorable publicity through the anti malaria campaign which is being con ducted under the direction of sanitary Engineer L. c.

The draining of stagnant pools of the city is another important feature. Prescott should be justly proud of this campaign which will mean so much for the general health of the city and from the comments being received through the papers of our neighbor cities, others are watch ing the good work go on with pleas ant anticipation of the time when they will be next.

THE SPAN VERSUS THE FLvvER

There Is a small factory in our town
which IL run by the owner. And SIM
gle superintendent.
There perha ps 100 men are employed
and they are directed by three forcmen.
In the old days when the present
owners father ran the factory he was
one Of the big men OF our town and l
am-.3ld he drove, TO the great Gdrl!ra-
tiut, and envy Of most Of the residents,
n matched pair OF black horses ard a
handsome carriage. ! have inquired II
any OF his sGpcrintendents or forcmen
owned n horse and have been told they
did no;. | also inquired what was the
probable cost OF that pair OF h"rs"s and
WAS told that It could probably have
been bought for 800 or $500 and GER
iainly for $1,000.
Have you guessed what l am coming
to.
Supports at Least Eight car1
The present owner of the factory has
two cars. One is a simple little car that
costs around $4,000. the other $4,000
car. His superintendent has middle
priced car.
Two o. his foremen have flvvcrs.
-Four or nSc OF inc pest Ntlu "orkers
also have cars. some second hand e1-
pcnsivc cars, some flivvcr%. ! do not
suppose any Of these cars rost as little
as horse and carriage in the old days.
And the cost of keep Is far greater.
And all this comes cut Of the same
