SATURDAY. MARCH 10. 1910.
CLEAN UP THE CITY

Alexandria and other cities in Vir-
ginia have formed Civic Improve
ment Leagues. the principal object
Of which Is TO encourage a spirit of
Improvement among the people. to
the end that the respective cities in
which they live may be beautified
and rendered attractive. One meth
cd to bring about improvement. as
adopted by these associations, is to
urge the city and all of its inhabi-
tants to clean up and to keep things
clean. They have declared war on
dirty. paper bestrewed streets and
sidewalks. disreputable looking back
yards, trash piles and all such things
as mar the appearance CT their cities.
These movements do much good.
and though there is no such organi-
zation here we can by individual
and collective action bring about a
better condition of affairs in Fred
ericksburg. There is no reason for
Main and Commerce streets to be
strewn in places with paper, trash,
orange and banana skins, etc. and
there is no excuse for it. There is
an ordinance which, if enforced by
the police officers. would prevent
people from sweeping trash into the
streets, or the Street Committee and
the Council by carrying out the
mayors suggestion, made some time
ago, namely. that metal trash boxes
be placed on the corners, can do the
rest and clean streets will follow.
Why should the two principal streets
OF this city referred to be allowed at
times to present such a disreptuable
appearance to visitors, especially on
the Sabbath day, when it can so
easily be avoided? One or two ar
rests by the police force for viola
ton of the ordinance will cause the
law to be respected and will bring
about vast improvement. But the
streets are not all. Private owners
should see to it that with the coming
of spring, when nature beauties
all of her creations. their premises
are cleaned up and put in order-a
little paint. the removal of unsightly
trash piles. new sidewalks, a grass
plat and some flowers will
work wonders and increase the
value of your property more than
you would think possible. This mat
ter is worth the attention of our
people. Who will be the first to
start the good work?

Everybody agrees that it would
be good thing for the country if
there were more tillers of the soil.
1t is claimed by some that the high
cost of living is due in large measure
to desertion of the farms and a con-
sequent increase in the number of
consumers out of proportion TO in
crease in farm production. The
logical conclusion from these prem
ises is that, if sufficient number of
persons can be induced to return to
the farm, production will increase
and prices reduce. But accepting
all this as true, is this very alluring
inducement to hold out for a return
to the soil? If farming holds out any
inducement to those now crowded in
the cities, it is that they can better
their condition by moving to the
country and engaging in agricultural
pursuit. If the very fact of doing
this will reduce prices and incrSssa
their toll without iHersasing air
prosperity. then few will take the
chance, Return to the land. that the
