The Dear Ladies
Mobile Herald J

''The good and enterprising ladies
CT Houston, Texas, have Civic
Club which puts into practical execu-
tion an idea that might we'll be fol
lowed by some of the ladies, clubs Of
Mobile, or by an association composed
of delegations from all these clubs.
The ladies made up their minds
thar Houston should be cleaned fur
and kept clean After procuring The
passage of ordinances requiring prop
erty owners and residents to clean
their premises and sidewalks, they
let it be known that they proposed
that that ordinance should be enforced
''They began work hv selecting a
cleaning up day for a certain ward.
Notices were sent TO all residents OF
the ward, appealing to the pride and
containing the following instructions :
"'Cut your weeds, rake out your
trash and old tin cans and pile it on
the roadway. When you cannot burn
the city garbage wagons will carry it
off.
'.PriZes of flowers and seeds are
offered for ii cleanest premises, the
best kept yard and the best sidewalk.
After thus appealing to the better
nature of the hcuseholders the ladies
close their notice with the declaration
that the ordinances will be strictly
enforced against those who do not re-
spond to this appeal.
After the cleaning up a committee
Of the ladies make an inspection, pass
upon the work and award the prizes.
Later the same thing is gone
through in another ward and another.
until the entire city is cleaned.
.'The Houston ordinance reads as
follows:
"Aritcle 1919. Owners of lots tC

ties: 1t shall be the duty Of every

RUN THEM OUT.

The following is sample of the
complaint being raised in nearly every
community in the state of northern
and eastern agents making house to
house canvasses selling people just
such articles as the legitimate local
merchant has in his store and can
sell at the same price, and what makes
the matter worse, the foreign agent
gets cash down. while in many instar-
ces the home merchant is asked to
wait until crops are gathered and
even then sometimes, fails to get his
money:
There is much complaint among
business men in the small towns o.
the state on account Of agents. vic
visit Mississippi from the north TO
sell goods. These agents sell, from
house TO house, articles that are car
ried in stock by the merchants, who
pay their taxes and help keep up the
state government. The merchants
think they should be protected from
these people from a distance, who
have no interests here and pay no
taxes. They were in Forest only last
week delivering groceries, teas,
coffees, etc, on orders taken a short
time ago. and the class of goods de-
livered could have been bought from
home merchants for one-third the
price. Funny world this Scott
