SWAT!

The first warm days of spring when the plant and insect worlds show the first signs of returning life are an opportune time for hunting the fly swatter, cleaning the yard and ridding the premises of stagnant pools. These are the days which will decide whether man or insect will rule the community next sum mer.
 The fly and mosquito are prodigious breeders. Each one that survives the spring means thousands that must be killed later in the season if man is to rest in peace and health. Each one that falls victim to the swatter or chemical extermin- ators employed early in the warm season means countless numbers which will not need to be dealt with later in the year.
 Every housewife and prop erty owner can do much to- ward aHeviating the fly and mosquito pestileces this year by removing all decaying vege- table matter and making lib eral use of exterminating chemicals and instruments where ever there is stagnant water and vegetation.
 To a great extent the public is the master of it's own destiny where it concerns he pestifer- ous and disease spreading fly and mosquito. Now is the time to determine the summer status of these noxious para sites.

 The permanent homes and buildings so far constructed are in excellent taste and really attractive and it is to be hoped that future construct ion, will follow the same rule. Mining camps are usually more or less unsightly, as is also their environment. Hyder, however, is situated in one of the most impressively beauti- full spots on the North Amer ican continent and to desc crate the beauty of the sur roundings by building a town of ugly aspect would be unthinkable.

TOWN PRIDE.

There is in many towns a conflict between people whose first thought is to make money, and those whose first thought is to make an attract i've home town. The first nam- ed people are constantly see ing chances to make money through some kind of develop ment enterprise. If such pro- moters lack good taste, they are apt to cut up real estate in an an undesirable way, or erect flimsy looking dwell ings, put up unsuitable busi- ness buildings or erect them in places where they injure the looks of the town. They may sincerely believe their projects help the town grow and are commendable.
 These people are apt to show enterprise, and if they only had more sense of fit ness and taste they would do a lot of good. In a town where there is not much pride or community spirit, a people of that type have things about their own way. They go ahead with their commercialized pro- jects, and the town grows helter skelter and may never develop into a real honey kind of place.
 But in a city with live com munity spirit, these money makers find that it pays to conform to a higher standard. They learn that the average run of peo pie take pride in their community, and want it made attractive and beauti- ful. They realize that unless their developments are in keeping with the standards desired, their enterprises will not go as we'll as they other wise might.
 They find that if they put up ugly houses, people are slow to buy or rent them, and if they build unattractive stores in unsuitable places, people may not patronize

DOUBTFUL PREDICTIONS.

When the automobile came it was predicted it would make the horse extinct. Horseflesh costs more than ever and equestrianism continues to grow in favor. Now the or acles say the aeroplane will eliminate both automobile and horse, but like the horse the automobile grows in number and favor. The saturation point in, the automobile in- dustry is always being predict ed but never reached. It will be found that horse, automobile and airship each have their purpose and will increase in number as new needs are found for them and the population grows.
 Fron an article in current magazine are taken a few quotations on the subject of the automobile:
 "The automobile stands unique as the most extravagant piece of machinery ever devised fol the pleasure of man."
 The people are becoming car-poor as their ancestors be- came land-poor."
 ''In this craze for automobile ownership the joy of security in the future is sacrificed for the pleasure of the mom- ent." q, 'The whole scheme of domest- ic life centers in the motor car"
 "Once the man who borrowed in order to buy a car was looked upon as dangerous"
 With some of these state ments some will agree, but it is invariably the carless who predict disaster and chaos be- cause so may of their neigh bors are on wheels and ex. change old cars for new every year.
