DUMPING GARBAGE ALONG THE HIGHWAYS.
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.

Secretary of State Hull, return
ing to his desk after a »ix-weeks

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

“ An editor friend of mine kept track of all the publicity
that came to him from Washington during the last week in
