SPRING CLEANING

A we'll known Crookston wo.
man wrote the following poem
for the spring cleaning which
the Civic Improvement league
of that city is agitating. To-
morrow being the day for the
first general meeting of the To-
ca! Women's Civic league for
the same purpose, the poem is
reproduced that it may assist
in arousing interest:
There are cans at all the corners,
Neighbor mine.
Pray be mindful of them always,
Neighbor mine.
If you're not devoid of feeling
Quickly to those cans be stealing.
Throw in each banana peeling,
Neighbor mine.
Do not drop the fruit you're eating,
Neighbor mine.
On the sidewalk, sewer or grating.
Neighbor mine.
But lest you and should quarrel
Listen to my little carol,
Go and toss it in the barrel,
Neighbor mine.
Look when e'er you drop a paper,
Neig hbor mine.
In the wind it cuts caper,
Neighbor mine.
Down the street it madly courses
And should fill you with remorses.
When you see it scare the horses,
Neighbor mine.
Paper cans were made for paper,
Neighbor mine.
Let's not have this fact escape us,
Neighbor mine.
And if you will lend hand
Soon our city dear shall stand
AS the cleanest in the land,
Neighbor mine.

During my absence from the
City the voters of my ward
nominated me for alderman: 1
am not unmindful of the con-
fidence expressed by this action
in fact it is appreciated, and
1 take this opportunity to thank
my friends and neighbors, but
having already served the City
and ward for four years, feel
that I am not unreasonable in
asking that you relieve me of
again serving, and that you
honor some other person. I'm
der our form of government,
every citizen owes an obliga-
ton to the community in which
he lives and while the accept
ance of the Office of alderman
means a sacrifice, the chosen
one may justly feel honored.
The judgment of some of the
voters of the ward, with whom
I consulted, was that a success.
sor could be chosen most salts
factorily, by a mass meeting of
the voters of the ward, to be
held Friday evening March
25th, 1910, at 8 o'clock p. m. Let
there be a good turn out.
Yours truly,

A Physician on Food.

A physician out in Oregon has views
about food. He says:

Of the physician does not cease with

humanity to teach them how to protect
their heath especially by hygienic and
dietetic laws
with such a feeling as to nv dury

the great benefit this food will bring
when used in all cases of sickness and
convalescence-

condition forbidss the use Of Grape

to start tn machinery of the human
system on the days work In cases Of
indigestion I know that a complete

not to overload the stomach at the

value of Grape-Nuts when the stom-

posed for a picture in front Of the
big building of the agricultural de-
partment today They were the State
prize winners in the Boys Corn club
contests of the year, and Jerry Moore
Of South Carolina, was the president
of the lot. In each of the States rep

of whom is over 16, we're on trip TO
Washington, where they were to be
introduced to the president and the
secretary of agriculture and then be
shown the sights of the city.
1t was the elimination of the year S
work, work the Importance of which
can scarcely be overestimated. It has
already awakened the South to the
knowledge that it can raise corn and
make money by it. The older far
mers are being startled by the way
the boys are beating them on the
corn idea and it is having a material
effect on the corn production of the
whole South.
The successful boys from each State
were not always the ones that raised
the biggest crops. The department
of agriculture, in outlining the con-
test, made it a requisite that the larg-
est crop should be raised with the
least expenditure. The high score in
the whole group was made by Jerry
Moore. But he was not considered
the most successful. He had raised
228 9-4 bushels, but it had cost him
43 cents a bushel to do it. There was
a boy from Arkansas who raised only
119 bushels, but he did it at cost OF
s cents a bushel. He was considers ed
