Willing to Take Contract For Garbage Collection.

E. C. Maxiwell called at The Republican today to say that if sufficient numbers of people will contract for the collection of garbage he will take the collection end and give the work systematic attention. Collections could be made weekly or twice a week as was necessary. It would >e necessary for each family to have a covered garbage can. By putting their names on the can they could be collected, taken to the dumping place and returned. 'Mr. Maxwell feels that if 150 or more would contract the price could be made something like 50 cents a month for each family, the collections being made as often as necessary. He will talk with Dr. Gwin, the city health officer, and will probably visit you with a paper and ascertain if you are willing to pay a reasonable price to have tins collection of garbage made. Germany yesterday captured 21,000 Russians. The French claim some successes on the western front, having captured a trench which the Germane had occupied for two weeks. Italy went across the Austrian border and captured several small towns and there are lively happenings all along the German and Austrian fronts. ■ Italy is now explaining why she entered the war. Of course, Austria is altogether to blame.
