Hural residents who live along the highways, don't like the idea of having garbage «lump«*«! on their land, and you can’t blame them for that. Wherever such practices occur, it ’s bad for the land owner and makes an unsightly mess for travelers to see every time they pass the spot. There is a law which prohibits • lumping garbage along the highway and from all indications the public is going to cooperate to see the law is enforced. Pub lic cooperation is what makes a law work and the anti-garbage dumping law should have 100 percent support from everybody. Then' is a movement designed to clean the highw ays of all matter which detracts from the natural beauty of the country side. In many places commercial advertising signs have been re moved and property owners have cleaned their premises to add to the attractiveness of the roadside. In the fare of this move ment. it would he doubly bail to continue to make garbage heaps out of the roadsides. W orld Affairs. Secretary of State Hull, return ing to his desk after a »ix-weeks absence, said "During the weeks ; of my absence the most clinching demonstration has been given . . . i that t there is a world movement of conquest by force, accompanied by methods of governing the nin- quered peoples that are rooted mainly in savagery and barbar ism." Secretry Hull said "with full effort and ever-increasing production and preparation for defense. . . a successful resistance to the present world movement , . will be ma«le." DOING OUR BIT.
