Did Somebody Lie
to the ENTERPRISE

The Holyoke Enterprise this week
roasts the members OF the city coun-
ell for following a long.establishe
rule Of giving the town printing year
about, this year being The Heralds
turn. That paper used similar
methods as when it tried to secure
the county printing on a tricky bid.
and met the same result--lost.
Had the Enterprise the first ele+
ment of fairness it would have filed
no bid The Herald had in no bid.
1t asked for the work, and got it. II
someone told that paper that The
Herald man said "the Enterprise
does not want the city printing"
then somebody lied, to use plain
English. What he did say was this:
IN talking with Lindberg some time
ago about the town printing, Lind
berg said: "The town printing goes
year about You will get it next
year."
The council voted five to one to
make Inc Herald the official paper
of the town for the year. Alderman
Gust johnson told us on the street
the next day that he did not want
us to get all the business" We an
swered: "You old rascal, you were
the only one voting against u.s."
The Enterprise is long on sob stun
about the taxpapers-when it affects
tho other fellow-and fling bonds.
The town board was interested in
the taxpayers. when it recently cut
the Enterprise bill s12 on, account
of overcharge. There will be no over
charges by The Herald. We can fur
nish bond when requested.
The Enterprise may learn some
time that the only way to get any
where is to he on the square.

carefrlly-handled packaees contained
asbIithdHy cake. That the said cake

That some Of the ladies' counted the

Better Water Pressure

There is complaint that the water
pressure at times is SO low it is diff
ficult to do much irrigating. At the
council meeting Monday evening it
was agreed that there is plenty Of
water at ali times, the low pressure
being due to so many using the water
for irrigating at the same time.
The low pressure could be avoid
ed by dividing the town into two or
more districts and setting apart GER
tain hours for irrigation In certain
districts. This would give plenty of
force and permit more irrigation in
a given number of hours than can
now be had in the unlimited time al
lowed. rssiI.
This plan is worked successfully
and satisfactorily in many towns and
cities.

TOWNSHIPS REPORT
LEVIES TO AUDITOR;
SOME EXCEED LIMIT

Township 1evies have been received
by County Auditor Hans Anderson,
according to ar announcement today.
Nj. Anderson said that in several
townships the levies exceeded the
limit allowed by law. and would have
to be returned for correction. The
law provides that the levies shall not
exceed the average for the three last
years.
Last year this ruling was not en-
forced for the aso that this law
was not approved by the governor
until March 10, three days after the
levies for the townships were made.
The only allowance made by the law,
Mr.. Anderson stated was hat the
townships may call a special election
for raising the levies, and if approved
by the voters, the levy may be raised
25 per m yer that of the average
for the three last years.

KlWAMANS TO
HEARCANADIAN
SPEAKERS SOON
Canadian United States
Week" to Be Observed
April 2-8.

The week Of April 2 to s will be
by the Kiwanis Club Inter-
national as "Canadian-U United States
Week." and according to information
by the officials Of the Grand
Forks club each of the 697 clubs with
$1,000 members in the two
countries will cooperate in carrying
out the spirit of the plan. g.
The outstanding feature of the plan
is that all Of the clubs in the United
States will be addressed by Canadian
speakers who will discuss the affairs
of Canada; while all OF the clubs Of
Canada will be addressed by men
from the United States who will tell
OF the affairs Of this country.
The purpose Of the observance of
the week Is stated to be the further
ance of that era Of good feeling be-
tween the two great English speaking
peoples of America in order that the
amicable relations established 1o4
years ago may continue by dissemin-
those in the United States more
knowledge about Canada, and like
wise disseminating information which
will give Canadians more information
about the United States.
The Kiwanis International believes
it will be furthering a highly import
ant cause. Principally, it will be the
purpose to educate the people Of the
two countries in reference to the un-
animity Of the ideals Of the people of
the United States and Canada. Pro-
motion Of better business relations be-
tween the two nations also is ad-
vanced as a purpose Of the plan.
According to information the local
club has received, the Canadian
speakers will visit almost all Of the
clubs in the United States and where
it is not possible to obtain a Canadian
speaker, then it will be the purpose ,o1
the local club to obtain as a speaker
some n entirely familiar with Cana
da, while a similar list Of United
States speakers will be sent to
Canada.
The plan was originated at the XII.
wants International conference held
in Cleveland last year and the period
set was selected because it was ir
April 1913 when the negotiations be
tween Great Britain and the United
States were finished in the Rush.
Bagot arrangement for restricting
armament on the Great Lakes. The
plan really secured a total disarma.
ment which condition has existed
through the succeeding years.
