' • TEN RULES OF THE MAIL ORDER BUSIN .ESS GETTERS CITY ELECTION GOOD TONIC FOR THE BLOOD Like the case of the small boy who is usually administered a generous dose of sulphur a:nd molasses as a blood thinner every spring, so a city ~lection, such as the one just closed is good for the blood of any city. It brings forth the things just accomplished vividly and lays the various political parties and their public acts open to the voice of pu.blic O•Pjriion. Altho some things have been said during the campaign just closed that ~ would have been better unsaid, yet it has been a,close and vigorous campaign, "with good wishes for all and malice toward none." Irrespective of our political faiths and ambitions we are now all united behind the winners.

We have paved streets, excellent water systems, good and adequate '!< sewer systems, fair lighting systems, sidewalks and curbing, etc. Let's get the poles off Main Street, pave some an;ore streets (open some new streets equip a children's playground, pr{)vide a tourist's park and really start the ball rolling. In 1·eality, we have only just begun. And we call do it on the same old ten mills.

Many persons who attended the festival pronounced it a "Knoclwut" and predicted easy victory for the spansol'S of it. Mr. Porter stated his views in a few short and chosen words. The other candidates gave evidence of their oratorical abilities and Dr. J. .3. Alley vividly pictured the City of Midvale in its "Old Dress" a:nd in the / "New Dress."
