Logan. April 13.-The newly organized
Boosters club Of this city has established
a new holiday for Logan. 1t is clean

first time today. All places of business
IN the city were closed during the morn

colleges all turned out with rakes. hoes,
picks and shovels and worked all morn
ing like beavers, as a result OF which the
appearance of the city has been wonder
fully improved. The Agricultural college
faculty agreed to clean up the boulevard
a walk leading from the Temple hiu to
the college. and they made an exceedingly
good job of it, All the rocks were raked
off that thoroushfare- the trees were
trimmed and the road was leveied. Any
professor who shirked the task was fined
$50. but no fines were necessary. The
Aggie student body took another street
leading from town to the college and
thoroughly cleaned it up The Brigham
Young college faculty and students also
turned out en- masse and did their share
Of the work. 1t is the intention of the
boosters to make this cleanup day an an
nual affair. Citizens are not supposed to
use the time in cleaning up their own
Yards but are required TO devote the day
to public service. and attend to their own
yards at some other time. and today
everybody conformed to that rule. An
