our town, the Civic League offers the
following suggestion:
Won't you aid us in our war against
your premises by a liberal use OF
whitewash? Won't you hang your
gates that have fallen and repair
your blinds that the March winds
have unswung?
Won you aid us in our war against
mosquitoes by collecting the empty
tin cans and carting same to the
dump heap? Won't you clean up your
vacant lot so as to reduce the supply
of disease germs, which are liable to
cause sickness during the coming
summer?
Won't the merchants vie with each
other in cleaning up their store lots,
and won't they commit their trash to
the flames rather than to the winds!
Won't you paint your house this
spring? Wannamaker and Ladd botn
carry a full line of the best paints.
Won't you see that your COWS ana
horses and poultry are safely Kept
inside your own premises, so that
they may not depredate upon your
neighbor's flowers, shrubbery ana
garden?
Won't you teach your children not
to litter your own grounds nor thc
streets with waste paper or orange
and banana peelings?
Won't everybody join with the civic
League in this effort to make CheraW
clean and beautiful, so that no town
in the State may surpass ours i'll at
tractiyeness?
Remember that the League meets
tomorrow afternoon at 4.30 p. H., in the
