Manufacturers long ago told me

They also said that anyone doing

always depend on receiving the great

arose.
Where it helped a manufacturer out
to receive payment before the due
date, a telegram or letter invariably
brought the money right away.
One large manufacturer told me that
he would rather sell a great part OF
his output to Sears, Roebuck & Com

simply because Of the mail-order

need. As result. Sears. Roebuck

we must keep everlastingly it; must in and play

Not very long ago the Civic League
made drive for better and cleaner
! Columbus, and called upon every one
to try to keep their premises clean.
Certain days were designated upon
which garbage would be collected. To
this call most Of the people gave their
support, and were more than glad to
do so, as the large majority of Co
lumbians really want better and
cleaner city; but / want to say that
very seldom has the garbage been
taken up on the date set for it's re-
moval; and often it is allowed to ac-
cumulate in the cans for week or
ten days before it is moved Just at
this time it has been almost fort
night since the garbage man has
taken the trash from my cans, andl
several of my neighbors will testify
to the same conditions existing at
their homes. This is very unsanitary
and unhealthful at this time of year,
when the weather is so warm that
fermentation of garbage makes very
disagreeable odor.
When Mr.. Webb (now deceased)
had charge Of this matter, the garbage
was moved twice a week. ] would
like to ask, has Columbus grown so
large that the garbage cannot be
moved once a week? Or has the city
cut down the force so as to make it
impossible to keep our city in san
tary condition?

The Wisconsin legislature is still in session
with no good cause shown and not one really i'm
portant or beneficial law passed as the result OF
sitting over five months. 1t is an Insult to ask
men Of even moderate ability to go to Madison to
make our laws for the paltry sum Of $500, but
the record that most members make after 60
ing goes long way toward evening matters up
and is no doubt largely responsible for the refus-
al Of the people to pay mems wages to their
legislative hired help, body intended to be help
full to the state and regarded with respect.
The need of some stringent regulation re-
garding the operation of automobiles upon the
village streets has been very noticeable within
the past few weeks. Scarcely day passes that
cars are not seen travelling at rate Of speed
highly dangerous to others using the streets, es-
pecially children and inirm people who might fail
to get out of harms way in time avoid accident
or death. Safety first should be the slogan Of
the village authorities without waiting for some
one to be crippled or killed, before curbing the
tendency to train for Barney Oldfeld fame among
car owners or drivers.
