MAYOR AND NEW BOARD
CONSERVATIVE BUSINESS MEN

The election is over. and
splendid set of town officers was
elected. and was inevitable from
the list of candidates put W ty
the three arties. AS we asserted
last week. this could not be other
wise from the material to be
chosen from. The election con-
test was entirely friendly and no
animosities were engendered by
it. The Public Improvements
party elected a majority of its
ticket. which undoubtedly means
that the city will in the near flu
ture be in the midst of the build
ing of cement sidewalks. at least
on all the business streets. Also
in line with the policy of i'm
provement and growth. il is more
than probable that a new reser
voir to supplement the present
water supply and tide over the
dry months of the summer will be
built Immediately
The successful candidates were
nominated as follows: Mayor
Clarence Nelson, Public Improve
menis; Trustee II A Bryant. Pa
onia and Public improvements
Trustee w. F Conine, Paonia and
Good Government; Trustee + +.
Hufty. Public improvements.

Paonia Cleaned Up
By Perspiring Citizens

This is Arbor Day. and TO view
the front doors of business houses
along the principal streets you
would imagine that this was a
perfect day of rest in Paonia.
Not so. The front doors are closed
and the blinds are drawn, but go
around to the alley entrance and
take squint across the vista of
back yards and alleys. and there
you will find the patriotic business
man. with rake. shovel and hoe
making the trash fly. As the
perspiration streams down his
manly face. mixing at intervals
with the smoke from the burning
trash and the flying ashes as he
heaps the indestructible refuse
INTO the waiting wagons. the Pa
onia band marches gaily down
the street playing enihusing airs
to keep up the courage of the
willing workers. Truly. Paonia
is being cleaned and secured to-
day as never before IN her history.
The ash heaps and trash a-cumu
lations of two years are being
relegated TO the low grounds
along the river banks. The pile
bean tomato cans are flying
through the air like Pauihsn aero
planes. Tree trimmings. grass.
old boxes and scraps generally
are being converted into smoke.
1t will be only few hours until
sightseers and homeseekers will
be taken. not to see the clean
sections CT the city, but to see the
curiosity. the isolated. lonesome.
only back yard in the town which
has not been cleaned. 1t will not
be pointed out with pride, OF
course. but as the only surviving.
pitiful relic OF the Dark Ages,
which succeeded the Rock Age.
when man wooed his bride with
club and chained her to the walls
of his domicile while she did her
house work for fear she escaped,
and of course all kitchen refuse
landed within easy toss of the
door and there remained until it
was easier to move the family
than the dirt.
Paonia has changed. And the
Civic Improvement society has
had largely to do with it. For
several days a committee of earn
est women and few men have
been canvassing the city urging
all householders to join the
cleanup movement, and their ef-
forts have been crowned with
splendid success. The movement
was almost universal; very few
have failed to get.in on the first
big drive, and they will be in line
tomorrow or Monday. 1t means
right living, comfort. health,
clean atmosphere and respect for
yourself and your neighbor. Hats
off to the ladies who did this no.

Those Who Accept II.

We are so positive our remedy
will completely relieve constlpa
tion, no matter how chronic 1t
may be, that we offer to furnish
it free of all cost If it fails.
Constipation is caused by weak
ness of the nerves aud muscles

ing colon. To expect cure you
must therefore tone up and
strengthen those organs and re-
store them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Or

are eaten like candy, and are par
ticularly ideal for children. They
act directly on the nerves and
muscles of the bowels. They
have a neutral action on the 9th
er organs or glands. They dc
not purge or cause any inconven'
ience whatever. They will posi-
lively overcome chronic or habit
ual constipation and the mvrlads
of associate or dependent chronic
ailments. Try Rexall Orderlies
