gling alliances with none; in rea-
sonable preparations for national
defense by sea and land; in shirk-

Some Crop of Weeds
A discussion of the excellent
weed crop now to lie found in Lex-
ington makes mighty horesome
reading to many but notwithstand-
ing that-THE WEEDS SHOULD
BE CUT!
Almost within a stone's throw of
the business section, weeds from
six to eight feet in height can he
found, growing in all their wanton
obnoxiousness. Is it right? Is it
the best way to safe guard health?
Is it a boost for Lexington?
It seems that there must be a lot |
of peo.le who disregard the dangers
resulting from these beautiful (?)
weed patches. But ask any physi-
cian and he will tell you weeds
spell the origin of many a serious
illness and oftimes death. If the
weeds are cut now they will bother
no more this season and with the
short time it requires to cut them.
it would seem that Lexington
should be a weedless town. Punch
yourself in the ribs, wake up and
see if you have any weeds on your
property. If you have make a firm
resolve to do your part ami cut
them down!
