BE A MOSQUITO EXTERMINATOR
The Culex Pipiens, or hoivie'^iiowiuito, the species that is canslng^o inuth tnnible in Freeport, breeds in cesspools, rain bairels, tin cans or any reeeptaole that will hold water from eight to ten days. These nios<iui- toes do not migrate more than 600 feet. 80, if yon are bothered you may be sure that you are breeding the pests right on your own premises.
This, however, nWd not alarm you for these mosqui¬ toes can easily be destroyed. Become a mosquito 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 ce88i)Ool is breeding. Take off the covey; 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 Iind some of them holding water and if they are not breeding now 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 l)efore she thi-ows it away. This will prevent their holding water aud eliminate them as mo¬ squito breedei-s. When the cesspools and cans have been looked after, make a general inspection of your yard.- I^mpty the water out of the sprinkling can, the tub, the milk bottles, the pails. I? • sur^' that the drain from your ice bo.\ and tlie leader from your roof have not made a depression in whi< h the water can remain for eight or ten days.
Yon are a re8i<lent of 1'^re.^port. Your civic prid<' pnmipts you to do everything that will make your coiii- iiiunity a better place in wliich to live. One way to im¬ prove c«niditions in your villatje is to rid it of mos(|ui- toes. Follow <-arefulIy tlie prof^ram outlined aixne ami watch the mosquitoes dis.aiq)ear.
Still Busy at Sokfiers' Chib
(Official Report)
We who have been working at the Soldiers Club were bfrinnfng to anti¬ cipate the probability of finishing our wo'/k, but from the activities last week it does not look like it yet. Sat¬ urday night, notwithstanding the block dance on Railroad Avenue, which, by the way, was such a success, we had over 200 at our dance and in fact served nearly 300 with ice cream.
Sunday evening we started with 860 cups of coffee ready for the boys, and had to put on more, making 450 cups of coffee during the evening.
And that reminds us, one of our Jobs during the week was to look up sasar enough, and we had to fall back on B lb. box of powdered sugar, some that we borrowed from our steward, to laat us through the evening.
All of the workers are willing to taka a rest, bot no one will let up on tha work so long as the boys at Camp Mills are in need of entertainment. WhJHc it seems to be a tact that no moga troops will come into the camp there are a number of boys there who have been awav from home for mtrfllhs, some of them for years, who still heed and appreciate the touch of hoBM life that we are able to give them in our work.
One of the Regulars is Home
Sidney L. Spieldoch 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 ceiten.ly feels good to be bti(;k, but I k. liss the Freeport people. Give my regards to all at the Club."

Want An Armory in Freeport
There is need for an armory in the Village of Freeport. Freeport is the lar^-est village on Ix>ng Island, in ad¬ dition to which it has a large sur- rfunding territory to i^raw from for a military organiza'.ion. OHicinIs of the State and National Government have been aproached in the matter and are expressing a willingness to help, realizing the nece9.4ily of an ar mory at this p]ac2. Hempstead has a small armory, but this does not draw from the same territory thst an ar¬ mory in Freeport would. We \.'ouKi have not only Freeport to eall on, but also the surrounding villagfes 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 taking it up actively with the State War Depart ment officials.
Watch Yonr Fire Insurance
It is particularly important nowa¬ days that a person check up on his fire insurance, so that in case of a par¬ tial loss, particularly on a bailding, 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

Ice Dealers Must
Certify as to Weight
The Sealer of Weights and Meas¬ ures has been after some of the local ice dealers, and brought one of them before Judge Flint on a 1 charge of short weight in ice, and three others for not labeling the ice aa 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 with which they supply th>3 customers, so that the cus¬ tomer can at any time weigh the ice and see whether or not he has re¬ ceived full weight.
The dealers were willing to conform to the law after it had been explained to them, pleading guilty and sentence was suspended in each case.

The local fire department, Merrick Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, on Oakwood Avenue, much in"" need of motor arrangement to draw their hook and ladder to fires. The present means is most inadequate where a heavy piece of apparatus requires hauling by men. The hose cart is mo¬ tor propelled and 0. K. in all respects, but the slow-going and hard-rolling hook and ladder is a serious and dis- couraj^ing drawback. The company is giving its best thought and efforts to providing molior-driven means for the hook and ladder.
One of these efforts is to take the form of a mixed minstrel and dance and the company appeals to the vil¬ lage to back up the affair and make it a great financial success. It seems that in the effort after this very def¬ inite improvement and so apparently iieeded that the firement might be as¬ sured of the unstinted support of our village folk. The show will be held. two nights, Friday and Saturday, August 29 and 30, and the admission will not be over 50 cents; children half price, entitling holders to dance.
