Clean Yards a Necessity Now
The proposed town clean-up campaign some time
ago failed to make a clean sweep, since many lots
in town are still cluttered with dirt, trash, and un
sightly refuse; some of these are front and others
are back lots.
Back lot filth, trash, and stagnant water are much
worse than the unsightly weeds and trash op the
front. They are breeding places for the* fly and mos
quito, two of the most dreaded enemies to health
that we have, since they carry the typhoid, colitis,
malaria, as well as many other germs. Kvery tin can
or other receptacle is a potential breeding place for
flies and mosquitoes. "" ,
The idea of some |>eople that the town should clean
up their property is erroneous. The work of the town
is to force every land owner to keep his own property
in order. Every person who (permits stagnant water
or other filth to remain on his property will furnish
breeding plates for flies and mosquitoes and should
be haled before the authorities of the town to ex
plain why.
If the health department will be vigilant in this
line, sickness will prevented and perhaps many
lives saved.

would sing the price of our life policies
if you only know how little it would cost
you to protect your family.
Is there anything more tragic than a
man passing on who did not have the
foresight or thoughtfulness to have his
life insured, leaving his loved ones with

Why not 'phone and let us discuss the *
many forms of life insurance policies

The idea advanced by some school teachers that
all school officers should be chosen by teachers is a
fair sample of selfishness.
If such was the case, the position of boht officer
and teacher would doubtless pay well. But how
would those who pay the taxes and those who are to
be taught fare in such a game?
We do nof doubt the fact that teariiers are more
capable of knowing how to select good officials than
the rank and file of folks, but when we consider that
the teachers and school officers get almost all the
money, we doubt the wisdom of letting them pick
each other.
Lots of folks feel that the present centralized prac
tices are detrimental to the best interests of the coun
try without any more smell of imperialism in the sys

An Honorable History
Congress adjourned one of the most interesting ses
sions for many years this week. Not so much for the
things it did as for the wielding of the big stick. No
Congress in the history of our country has reigned a
seumT of such terror on evil doers as the past.
Wrong doers everywhere have trembled because they
did not know just where they were going to be struck.
The Congress struck many a guilty conscience in its
line of investigations; and if it had done nothing else,
the investigations have been of much value to the
country.
Much fraud has been exposed in the high places.
The first session of the Seventieth Congress has al
ready written some honorable history for itself.
A Forward Step
Bear Grass Township is taking a forward step in
road building by taking a vote of its people asking
their approval of a motor vehicle tax of $5.00 on each
machine in the township, to lie put into the township
road fund.
An automobile owner would have to jjaV one and
a half tents each day if this tax should be Improved
and the legislature passes the required law.
The question will be submitted to the voters of the
township at the primary Saturday. The question of
'how people are to keep the lateral roads in sttdljjhape
that the good roads may be reached is of great im
portance and a property tax sufficient to carry all the
load would seem unfair. The taxation of the auto
mobile that uses the road for the upkeep of the same
would seem t|> be one of the proper things for every
loealrroad unit U> follow.

GROW FEED FOR

Southern Farmers Should

Hay and Grain

A Fair Sample of Selfishness
Instead of sending hard-earned dol
lars westward to buy feed to take the
place of winter-killed grain/plant corn,
sudan grass, the millets, sorghum cane
and summer legume ha.vs like cow
peas and soybeans; and save the labor
charges and profits that would accrue
to the Western farmer, farm labor, the
truck driver, the hay dealer, and the
railroads.
' While the railroads need traffic, the
writer is of the opinion that the South
ern farmer should grow his hay and
grain, thus giving employment to local
labor; and, furthermore, earning the
charges meiitioued above, and some
others as well.
We are desirous of a free interchange
of traffic between the different sections
of th country, but can we afford to

LIKE a great many women,
Mrs. Alden was inclined to
reaent the interference of amy
outsider into her kitchen affairs.
Her kitchen was her own; and
while she attended the meetings
of the Kitchen Club, and was glad
to give suggestions, she decidod
to make her improvements with
out calling the Club in.
However, when the job was
done, Mrs. Alden invited the Out
in to see it; for, after all, she had
been inspired to dress up her
kitchen by seeing what was done
for other women.
"Girls," she said to the Kitch
en Clubbers before they went in
to look at it, "My kitchen might
not suit anybody else iu the world
but me. But 1 have made it re
mind me of the thing I love most
—the sea— and now it makes me
happier just to go into it. I was
born on the coast of Maine, aa
you may know, and I never got
over missing the water with its
marvelous blue and green and
white. Come and see how I hav«
reproduced it in my kitchen!"
