There could be no better advertisement for our little city thau well kept yards with lovely grass, tfees and shrubbery, which not only attracts visitors, but makes them want to stay. When the eye bcholcU beauty it~*?plifts us, for beautiful surroundings tend to make us better and happier citizens. We live in a beautiful town?let's make it more so, and all put forth an extra effort to that end now. We should )>e grateful .to our Mayor and his co-workers fort-'^all they are doing in trying to make our town more sanitary, as well as more beautiful, for the two go hand in hand. Here's a vote for better sanltatlcifi and more beauty. THEY STII.I. FALL FOR IT " 1 here was a team of subscription solicitors for magazines in Yorkyijle last week," said one this morning who had observed the man and six girls who drifted into town last Thursday, and ( leaned up the subcription campaign for just any old magazine that the subscriber might want to su!>scrilx1 for. It is a great graft," said the gentl< man. who happens to know something of the game. "A man will employ hall a dozen or more girls and take them into a town and the gir.s do the soliciting, putting up the speel of wanting to get *> many subscriptions or so many 'points' it! order to get a college education, and the sofe-hearteil easy marks fall for the song and dance right along. But not all of them fall for it. They know the ot'd gag, and further know that the subscription solicitors are not working for a college education or anything else than the long green with which to buy -ilk stocking;, shoes, lipsticks, face powders and paints that girls all use nowadays. But still, it Is interesting to see how the local yeomttnry will' fall for the gag year after year." remarked the gentleman.
