| ing the week in reply to a call extended
to him by the Congregational church Of

society here. 1t is understood that the

conceded the justice of their claims

Civic pride is asserting itself at
this time of the year in a general de-
mand for an annual clean up of prem
ises. In some places the mayor names
day when every resident is called
upon to devote time for improving and
tidying their home premises. The ac-
cumulations of winter in garbage, ashes
and tins are to be carted away and the
grounds made attractive. Health Of
ficers are using their authority to see
that the clean up is thorough that the
health of the community may not be
imperiled. We hope this spirit to make
the home and surroundings neat, at
tractive and tidy has strong hold on
the people of Edgerton. The clean up
| time is here.
