That tho city government take over

lioalth officer for necessary clean-up
campaigns, for the employment of a

TOO URGE TO
BE
Remedial suggestions which be
said would Increaso tho leglslaUvo
efficiency of congress and speed up
transaction of government business
were offered at the noon-day lunch
eon of tho chamber of commerce by
Congressman C. N. McArthur.
Reduction of tho membership from
Its present size of more thsn 400, and
prospoctlvo size of more than 600 on
tho new census basis, was advocated.
Thn largo membership makes the
body unwieldy and cumbersome,, ho
said, and offers opportunity for
shirking Individual responsibility.
Tho rosult Is that less than a dozen
men are nctivo law-makers and tho
aim of representative government Is
defeated.
Shortening the time between a
member's election and the time that
ho takes bis seat now sometimes a
year was another remedy suggest
vd. Tho present plan works evil In
soverat directions, ho said. In a year
the nowly olected member has tlmo
to forget his pre-olectlcn promises.

they will gladly do any dress-making
the ladles In town need and tho boya
feel that they can overcome the hous

The fourth grade has been doing
much to beautify their room. Dur
ing the lut few days, the pupils have
placed clean curtains at tbelr win
dows, and have brought several very
pretty potted plants.
All days are busy days In the little
white domestic science building.
This being the canning season, all
lessons are based upon that work.
An unusually fine display of canned
fruit and vegetables Is the result of
the many hours of hard earnest work
