Let us bear on our minds and
hearts the coming of Mr. String-
field on July 14th, representative
of the Anti-Saloon League who
will speak in Burlington on that
date.
The summer of 1912 is here and
the flies are still with us, having
been scheduled by some of us to
leave just one year ago! Must
we continue to raise them by the
millions when a fewdolLrii spent
on each fly-producing lor, would
reduce them to the minimum?
Suppose the Civic League offers
a prize for the best fly-killer a-
mong the children. '' This will
help to make the children hate
this pest nuisance and menace to
the health and lives of us all.
A small stable license fee would
make the town to clean regularly
and properly ail stables. Why
not have it? Let us think about
it and vote it in. In the mean
time use kerosene in the stables
as does one of our townsmen with
some measure of success. And
two dollars would make fly-proof
Che unsanitary and germ scatter
ing surface closet. Let us edu
cate public sentiment till the
town board feels it has sufficient
backing to pass such a law and
enforce it.
Again a Maine town comes to
the front with a “girl trust”—
th^ fair Ones proposing to stick
together, to compare notes, and;
not to maiTy any man who drinks'
reeking red likkers. !
But a girl trust is nothiug new. ;
Girls have beeri trusting since :
the last single was slaced on the!
dome of heaven; since Adams!
whispered words of love to Eve. |
And they will keep on trusting. \
Every, laddie,has his lassie—;
and that lassie trust till the calico,
cows are coning home. And ;
it is well. Where is not so this |

had any reason to give for with

convention of the persons named
in the resolution. He said;
‘ ‘ I stated my reasons at the time.
