it to the community to make it the

How? you ask. By cleaning up your
own door yard. This has a double
meaning, both fgurative and literal.
Figuratively, it refers to your moral
life. Every man who loafs around
the streets and squirts tobacco juice
on the sidewalks. to emphasize a
point in a filthy story is helping to
lower the standard of the community.
Clean up your own life and you will
help to clean up your town. Now.
literally, we could improve the town
if every one would contribute his part
to cleaning up rubbish about the home.
Now one can walk along the streets
and see everything from, tin cans to
dead cats. Does that sound good?
"Not very" you say. Well, then
clean up. Health must be considered,
both moral and physical-and we
might add, intellectual.

MINISTER ACCUSES
CHURCH OF GRAFT
(By United Press)

SEATTLE, May 13.-The congre-
CATION of the First Presbyterian
church of this city is considerably
excited by the pulpit declaration of
its pastor, the Rev. M. A. Mathews,
that the practice of soliciting ad-
vertisemetns for church fairs and
bazaars is an ecclesiastical form of
graft.
NO merchant ever sold a pair of
shoes by advertising them in a
church bulletin" said the minister,
and therefore when the church
charged for that advertisement it
was unable to give value received.
The merchant advertised because
he was asked to do so by the
church. Such efforts are nothing
short of ecclesiastical form Of
graft"

Hindu philosophers, has adopted
Bharavi's motto as his own.
DR.. Lloyd is an author, whose
"Stringtown on the Pike was one
of the most charming of the six
best sellers of half a dozen years
ago. He is also a chemist of high
rank. Thirdly he is a manufac-
turer.
It's easy to carry this idea-giv-

it into chemical laboratory.
The difference in DR.. Lloyd's case
is that he has posted it over his
desk in his factory-that he runs
his factory by it.
There's a business man in New
York state who talks and writes
much about the brotherhood of
man, and the beauty of cooperation
and the happiness which work
brings to all. But he has a time
clock in his plant, holds wages to
the lowest point the trade will al
low and docks" his fellow workers
for being late.
But DR.. Lloyd doesn't do these
things. His employes-he calls
them assistants-sing as they
work. They get their own meals
at noon and the boss eats with
them, and talks with them.
Time clock-no. If a girl is late
at the Lloyd chemical works-well
there must have been some good
reason. No one asks why.

commissioner. has concluded to
stand pat on the question of his
rumored resignation. Through his
chief counsel, George Israel of Ia
coma, he declined yesterday after
noon to further testify before the
legislative investigating committee

Israel told the committee that he
saw In the newspaper reports
where Assistant Attorney General
George A. Lee had said that the
committee was in possession of suf
ficient evidence to institute i'm
parchment proceedings against
Shcively and probably criminal pro-
ceedings as well. In view of this
statement, Attorney Israel said
Schively did not care to incrim-
mate himself and respectfully de-
clined to give any more testimony.
Israel asked that the committee
furnish Schively's counsel with a
copy of the testimony taken and
