From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
When "Sherbie" Becker was mayor
he enlisted the children of the city In
a cleanup crusade and on that day
most of the waste paper and other ligh.
rubbish disappeared from the streets
of Milwaukee. The enlistment was
for only a single day. but 1t showed
what could be done. That was nearly
four years ago. If q man from Mars
were to happen on earth and make
a quick survey Of some parts Of the
city he would be unlikely to assume
that there had been no cleaning-ur

best provision is to have tidy people.
If everybody forebore from making
needless litter there would not be SO
much rubbish blowing about on windy

Washington is the first state. SO far
as we are advised, to take official note
of the virtues OF the woodpecker. H.
is said the state has adopted his pic.
ture as the state emblem. giving him
the position of honor as the original
conservationist. In other words. the
state Of Washington has found that
the woodpecker is an invaluable aid
in conserving tree life. His diet is
those insects which are most injurious
to trees. He does not even ask a
bud or kernel that is, of value to man
kind. He destroys nothing that Is
Of assistance to the human race. All
this talk about the woodpecker de-
stroying the telegraph and telephone
poles is the silliest nonsense 1t is
like a lot of things that gossip says
about people. Those who voice such
sentiments are real Knockers" and
that leads us to emphasize the fact
that while the woodpecker is some
thing of a ''knocker" himself. that
isn't why Washington is making him
