CAMPAIGN STARTS OFF ON GITY STREETS AND ALLEYS Scouts and Lions Committee to Meet at High School at 7:15 to Lay Plans DRIVE ON FLY TOMORROW Aim of Health Authorities Is to Destroy Breeding Spots of Mosquitoes, Too Clean-up week got under way, to- day, on the streets, alleys and sewers. It was largely a municipal job. City labor had been on it, in fact, for some time, carting away gutter litter and ‘flushing the paving clean of winter's grime. Tuesday the task becomes one for the individual householder. In prep- aration for it, the Lions clean-up committee, Capt. H. A. Brocopp, Dr. W. 8. Koller and A. L. Bavone, will meet the boy scouts at an assembly in the High school auditorium at 7:15, this evening, to give them instruc- tions for their part in the week's activities. Tuesday's program calls for a pre- ventive drive on the fly and mosquito by doing away with breeding haunts in filth and stagnant water. House- holders are askcd to ‘remove from their premises such breeding spots by cleaning cesspools, stable and chicken yards. the ground, mending spoutings and scouring and capping garbage cans. How to Head off Pests No effort to head off both the fly and mosquito is held too great by health authorities. Although North Dakota is free of the disease-breeding anopheles, its mosquitocs are an an- noyance and the comfort of every- body is vastly increased by their ex- tinction. The best way to accom- Plish this is by prevention. They breed in water and damp places, so water should not be allowed to stand around where it can become stag- Low, marshy places should be All trash should be cleared away and any place that cannot be should be treated with oil prevent mosquito brecding. crankcase oil me a gocd applica- tion, and in some towns garages save this for the use of the municipal health officers to apply to sloughs Drained and such watcred places that breed } the pests.

D., May 6.—An argument between two hired men on the farm of Robert Rotering, Het- tinger county commissioner, near here, over the speed of their automo- biles ended in tragedy a week ago, it was reported here today.

M. Hoenigsberg, | Havana newspaper publisher, today that he intends visiting Cuba, Porto | Rico, and Panama before he retires | from the presidency. Mr. Koenigsberg said the presi- dent had authorized him to make this statement. He said Mr. Hoover did | not indicate when he would meke the trip to the West Indics and the Canal Zone. It is known, however, the president desires to visit these countries as soon as conditions in Washington will permit, Cel President Hoover Imd intended to stop over at Havana while returning from his goodwill tour of Central and South America, but he found this to be impracticable at that time. He speeded up his return to Washington because of the necessity for confer- ring with many leaders of his party concerning cabinet and other ap- pointments, and the early legislative Program for his administration. While plans for the voyage around the Caribbean seo have not been com- pleted, the chief executive will use a ; Warship, probably a battleship as he did on his goodwill journey and Havana undoubtedly will be the first Port of call. His itinerary may be enlarged to include Santo Domingo and if possible, he also wishes to visit the Virgin Islands.

Paint brings out the charm of any house, aside from the factor of preserving wood. Inside, the same thing is true. The rooms of a dwelling may be skillfully laid out, well lighted, cozy and comfortable, but if paint, varnish, enamel and lacquer have not played their part, one of the greatest essentials is lacking.
