who was executive clerk to Governor
Cruco when the administration be-
gan, but later was made deputy game
and fish warden, located In the east
em part of the state, believes that
some changes should be made in th
present game laws and will probabl
make these suggestions hin self.
Watt thinks the term 'deputy
game warden should be changed to
"district" game warden. He believes
there shouH be two fish hatcheries
in the stat > at once, one on the east |
ide and one on the west side Many
armers he says have Informed him
that when the state is in a position to
urnish fish they would like 'o have
hem. He believes that a hunting

ing and fishing, and should be kept
at the present price, $125 a >ear
Fanners iu many parts of the state

We want every housewife to see the National Vacuum Cleaner. Don t let
anybody tell yon they have just as good a Cleaner as the National. The
National has no equal. Here are some of ite distinctive feature*. Light
weight, 4% lbs.; flexible metal nozrie (no robber to wear ont) J non-clog
separator (you don't have to open machine to clear the separator), sim-
plicity—a child can operate It; It may be operated with either right or left
ban.!; has stronger suction than other machines and gets not only the sur-
face dirt but also the dirt IN the floor covering; it is guaranteed by the
manufacturers—a certificate of guarantee goes with each machine.
Vacuum Cleaners Have Come to Stay
Zzr* tva. the same to the home as the bath tub means to the individual.
They take all of the germ-laden dust out of the home instead of distribut-
ing it about. Contagious diseases are spread by the germs in dust and
dirt. The first and most important step in stamping out disease is to re-
move the rause of infection. Every
person knows that the dust on the
streets is alive with various disease
germs; this dust is brought into the
home by members of the family on
their shoes and in their clothing; it
also comes in through the windows
and doors. Sweeping ar.d dusting
In the old fashioned way simply fills
tie air with these invisible germs,
wh^ch are inhaled into the lungs of
those who live in such an atmos-
phere. With the Vacuum Cleaner
this dust is drawn into a steel, air-
tight can which may be removed
from the house aud emptied.
