beauty spots on the lakes of the picturesque West Okoboji.

Mayor BICKFORD has notified all property owners in Emmetsburg to cut the
weeds on their premises. He should enforce promptly his order. People in
general are entirely too careless about this matter. They should have more
taste than to allow ugly looking weeds to grow high enough to peep into
their windows. Do not spare the careless, Mr. Mayor. Get rid of the weeds
and do so without further delay. They should have been cut six weeks ago.
