BE A MOSQUmO EXTERMINATOR
The Culex Pipieni*, or house-incMiiquito, the species that is cansing so much trouble in Freeport, breeds in <*ewpool8, rain barrels, tin cans or anj- receptacle that will hold water from eight to ten days. These mosqui¬ toes do not niigrat*' more than 600 feet.' So, if you are bothered you may be sure that you are breeding the pests right on your own premises.
This, however, need not alarm you for these mosqui¬ toes can easily be destroyed. Become a mo8<iuito ex¬ terminator yourself. The first thing to do is to inspect your cesspool cover. If there is an opening anywhere about the sides or in the top, it is fairly certain that the cesspool is breeding. Take off the cover; pour in a to¬ mato can of kerosene; close the cesspool; bank the sides with sand; plug the hole in the top. After this is done, look at your barrel containing an^ accumulation of tin cans. You will find some of them holding water and if they are not breeding uow they are likely to breed at any time. Get rid of the cans. It is a good plan for the housewife to put several holes in the bottom and ) sides of each can before she thi-ows it away. This win prevent their holding water and eliminate them as mo¬ squito breeders. When the cesspools and cans have been looked after, make a general inspection of yonr yard. Empty the water out of the sprinkling can, tlie tub, the milk bottlcH, the ])ail8. I';* surr^ that the dTain from your ice box aud the leader trom yonr roof liave not made a depreswion in whirh the water can remain for eight or t<'u days.
Yon are a resident of Freport. Yonr civic pride prompts you to do everything that will make your com¬ munity a better place in which to live. One way to im- l)rove ((mditions in yonr village is to rid it of mosqui¬ toes. Follow carefully the program outlined above ami watcli the ino8<iuitoes disappear.
Still Busy at Soldiers* Oub
(OiHcial Report)
W(B who have been working at the Soldiers Club were beginning to anti¬ cipate the probability of finishing our work, but from the activities last week it does not look like it yet. Sat¬ urday night, notwithstending tbe block dance on Railroad Avenue, which, by the way, was such a success, we bad over 200 at our dance and in fact served nearly 300 with ice cream.
Sunday evening we started .with 860 cupa of coffee ready for the boys, and had to put on more, making 460 cups of coffee during the evening.
And that reminds us, one of our jobs during the week was to look up sugar enough, and we had to fall back an a lb. box of powdered sugar, some that we borrowed from our steward, to. last us through the evening.
All of the workers are willing to take a rest, but no one will let up on the work so long as the boys at Camp Mills are in need of entertainment. While it seems to be a fact tbat no more troops will come into the camp there are a number of boys there who have been away from home for months, some of them for years, who still need and appreciate the touch of home life that we are able to give them in our work.
One of the Regulars is Home
Sidney L. flpieldoch of St. Louis, Mo., sends greetings from home, where he arrived last week, after spending several months at Camp Mills, and most of his spare time with us. He says he is at last in his civies. "It ceitEii.ly feels good to be back, but I miss the Freeport people. Give my regard.s to all at the Cfcb."

Want An Armotr in Freeport
There is need for an armory in the Village of Freeport Freeport is the largest village on Long Island, in ad¬ dition to which it has a large sur¬ rounding territory to draw from for a military organiza'.Ion. Officials of the State and National Govurnment have been aproacbed in the matter and are expressing a willingness to help, realizing the nece«i.iily of an ar- morv at this plac?. Hempstead has a small armory, but this does not draw from the same territory thflt an ar¬ mory in Freeport would. We v/ould have not only Freeport to call on, but also the surrounding villagex of Baldwin, Merrick, Bellmore, Wantagh and Seaford.
The editor of the Nassau County Re¬ view would be pleased to hear from any person interested in this move¬ ment, with the idea of teking it up actively with the Stete War Depart¬ ment oflicials.

Watch Yoar Fire Insurance
It is particularly importent nowa¬ days that a person check up on his fire insurance, so that in case of a par¬ tial loss, particularly on a building, he will receive the amount of his loss, in¬ stead of having the insurance com¬ panies after having jacked up his rates only pay him for a part of the fire or water damage.
Let us see if we have the right idea, as we think we have. If we have not, one of the insurance agents will un¬ doubtedly set us straight. Take a house worth $5,000, which has an SCr . clause on.   Nobody wants these claus-

The Sealer of Weights and Meas¬ ures has been aftsr some of the local ice dealers, and brought one of tbem before Judge Flint on a charge of short weight in ice, and three others for not labeling the ice as to its weight when delivering it. Under the law the dealers must furnish a slip with the ice, stating the weight, or can put it on a card witb which they supply the customers, so that the cus¬ tomer can at any time weigh tbe ice and see whether or not he baa re¬ ceived full weight.
The dealers were willing to conform to the law after it had been explained to thera, pleading guilty and sentence was suspended in each case.

Why Should Barbers Work So Late?
One of the trade.s in the Village of Freeport where a little co-operation on the part of the •bosses" would help the men who have to stand from 8:00 a. m. to 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 or 12:00 p. m. in their need for a shorter day, as the barbers. .Vo one likes better than the writer to drop in a barber shop late at night, after the rush is over, but at the same time due consideration for the men leads us to remark that it is high time the men runnini; these businesses got together and agreed (and then agreed to keep their asrreement) to close at a defin¬ ite and reasonable time, so that the men working for them might have a little more time to themselves.

It seems that in the effort after this very def¬ inite improvement and so apparently ¦needed that the firenient might be as¬ sured of the unstinted support of our village folk.
