buildings are simply plastered with
them. Fences are the common cir

tackled along side of another sign that
has been nailed up for twenty years
and the house it "advertises" has long
since gone out of business, and if you
should try to find the place it intends
to direct you to YOU couldn't find it

CLEANER STREETS PROMISED

Members of the Civics Com. of the
Federation recently made tour of
the business houses in the town in
the interest of cleaner streets. They
also requested that the papers be
picked up in front of the business
houses each morning.
The interest of the"merchants and
their readiness to comply with the
requests was most gratifying to the
committee, If the city marshal, the
housewives and the boys and girls
will cooperate with the business men,
the streets will soon be free from the
nnsightly papers.
The Committee discovered unsani-

TO BEAUTIFY A CITY

According 10 an exchange the mayor
of Birmingham, Alabama. is leading
popular movement to beautify the
city, and being a Wise man is making
special effort to interest the women
They know more about such matters
than men, he says, they have better
judgement. The mayor has addressed
the following eXh3rtation to the
citiZens:--
Pull down your fence. The city will
haul it away and keep off the cows.
If you can't be induced to part with
it, fix it up and paint it.
PLANT lawns, flowers and trees.
Wherever the ground shows bare.
plant something green it,:
Report anyone who mutilates or
ties horse to tree. You can get
half the fine on conviction. A few
dimes and lot of enthusiasm and
determination will transform an un-
slightly back yard into little spot of
beauty"
Now these suggestion of the mayor
of Birmingham fit into the life and
progress of every American city, aud
Grand Rapids, with its progressiveness
should give bis suggestion the most
liberal endorsement.
