CLEANING UP

Standards of living differ in
parts Of this country, and people
have different ideas as to what is
due from the individual to the rest
of the community, and it some7
times becomes necessary to see
that a man behaves himself, the
restriction of the individual within
certain bounds being the ultimate
rule of all law.
Now when man will not wash
himself nor his shirt nor anything
that is his, he will in course of
time personally become offensive to
somebody's olfactory nerves, and
it got to such a pitch with one in
dividual in Yuma that he was
taken before Judge S. F. Stanley,
where he was told he must get a
hair cut and a wash and change
of surtout or get out of town.
He got them, and being all
dressed up to the mines with cloth
ing that has been given him, wants
to quit his job as dump wagon
driver, he declaring that his status
in the community has been raised,
and driving a wagon doesn't ap-
peal to him now he is all dolled up.
