A BIG BON FIRE.
Clean Up Week to End With Big
Celebration Friday Night. Band
Likely to be Secured and The
Biggest, Best and Least Harm
full Fire in the History of Cam
bridge to be Held.

Don't haul your trash away to
some place where it is just as like
ly to be a nuisance and as disagree
able as it would be in your own
yard. Don't send it to some other
part of the city to be obnoxious to
those persons who live in the vivini-
ty where it is dumped. A man who
has no more regard for the health,
convenience and general welfare OF
the public than to dump objection
able matter where it cannot fail to
be injurious as well as unsightly can
lay no claim to be a good citizen,
no matter how wealthy he may be.
There has never been time in
the history of Cambridge when Sc
many premises were being cleaned
up as there are at this time. The
telephone bell of the Banner office
has been jingling all the morning
with calls for carts to come and
take away trash, tin cans,a and other
accumulate matter. Besides these
calls hundreds of persons have al
ready had their, premises cleaned
up. It is certainly cleaning up
time and the citizens of Cambridge
have taken hold of the matter as
was anticipated, recognizing at once
the great benefits to be derived
from it and entering zealously upon
the work of getting the trash, rub
bish, tin cans, decayed vegetation,
garbage and other matter out of
the front and back yards.
A well-known business man said
to representative of the Banner
this morning: "Why, I never saw
anything like it here before in my
life. You would not believe how
the people have taken to the clean
ing up business; right here near
my placeof business I have seen
places cleaned that I honestly dc
not believe have been cleaned be-
fore in ten years, and near my hoIt
we have watched with much interest
the thorough way in which che peo-
pie are cleaning up" When asked
what he thought of it, he replied:
mo sensible person can think 9TH
erwise than well of any movement
that has as it's object the better
ment of the conditions in any COM
,1 n6nity: ana csrtsmfy there IS no
one thing that appeals more to all
right-minded persons than the
health of a community. We all
know that by removing the causes
of disease we shall certainly great
ly lessen the amount of sickness in
the community, and this fact being
true. everyone Is interested in the
removal Of all such causes"
This seems to be the spirit that
is prevailing in all sections of the
city; it is certain that never before
in the history of Cambr:Gae have
the people been so generally united
upon any proposition as they are
upon this one of cleaning up. 1t is
a matter of congratulation that
such should be the case and who
knows but that it will be the means
of bringing the people together up
on many other important questions.
What is of benefit to one is likely
to be of benefit to all.
The public generally, and all driv-
ers of carts hauling out trash, ETC.,
are requested to haul same to the
dump pile at the old ice pond, on
High street, near Puncheon bridge.
Persons driving the town carts, and
other carts engaged for this week,
will be instructed to do SO.
Friday night, after all the trash,
etc., has been hauled out, there
will be a big bon fire, as the torch
will be applied to the pile. So
much fire, doing so much good, with
80 little damage, will never have
occurred in Cambridge, and the
members of Rescue Fire Company
will not be summoned to put it out.
It Is likely that the band will be
engaged to play, and a grand cele-
bration will mark the windup of the
