CLEAN up; GET BUSY.
EXCELLENT wATCHWoRDs FOR
A TOWN TO ADOPT.
Make the Town Healthier, Happier
and More Beautiful by Cleaning VI
Everything, and Every Place.

Everything, and Every Place.
Bucyrus, O., has started cleaning up
campaign, and the following excellent
methods that have been suggested for
beautifying the town may well be
adopted by other places:
"Clean up is the watchword.
Health demands it. appearance re-
uuires it and good sense points the
way, says the Bucyrus Evening Tele-
graph.
In some localities "clean up day is
popular.
In some localities one day proves tn
sufficient.
Clean up everybody, everything and
every place. H..
There is a lot of useless stuff that ac-
cumulates throughout the year. Spring
is the time to get 1t all out Of way and
get that sweet, clean smell and the
appearance which means much to
health and happiness.
The doctors suggest Spring tonic
10 get the blood In proper circulation
and the brain to doing its proper work.
Get the sluggish feeling out of your
veins and muscles and get free,
healthy action of every organ.
That is a good thing for the human
system, but it is good thing for the
community as municipality.
The street force is already at this
good work.
Many householders have taken it up
and will pursue it to a finish.
Others should start without delay.
Clean the back yards and alleys. Get
the accumulated worthless material on
big pile where the garbage man can
get it.
Help the street force as much as
possible in this good work.
If you can take advantage of the
first fine day to do it the benefit Will
be all the greater.
If one day proves insufficient, take
two days or three days.
A good example is help to the en-
tire neighborhood.
Start right and keep right, and your
neighborhood viii take on the same
enthusiasm.
Bucyrus. O.. is city Of wide reputa-
tion for beauty and the advanced ideas
of her citizens.
Bucyrus has fine lawns and fine
shade trees and beautiful homes. We
want to strengthen that reputation.
We are told there are some men idle
in Bucyrus. They will be glad to
work. because this, is the pleasant kind
of work. They say some days the busi-
ness man has leisure which he could
devote to cleaning up his premises.
That sort Of work will make his home
look better, make himself feel better
and do the town good.
The business men are all working
for the good Of the town.
They all want the place to have the
best possible reputation.
The great majority Of our citizens
are anxious for this same thing.
For the business man it helps busi-
ness; for the average householder 1t
helps enjoyment.
For all it stimulates personal and
civic pride.
Don't wait for your neighbor to start;
perhaps be can't give it the attention
the same day you take up the work
yourself.
Every orc WHO starts gets so much
more Of the benefit.
Many have started already. Others
will start soon.
All should get busy and make the
town healthier. happier and enough
sight more beautiful.
This is the season when u little Work
counts a great deal.
Clean up: get busy.
