DEPARTMENT. OF WoMAN's
CLUB. III

The New York Independent in a re
cent issue contained an interesting
story Of a Connesticut city which In
augurated and carried out a general
cleanup campaign using as its motto,
@As Clean as An Easter Lily" Under
the direction Of the Civic Department
Of the Woman's Club Of this city, May
rs will be observed In this city as the
beginning OF a cleanup crusade, and
|it is hoped that each and every citizen
OF the community will lend their aid
and help to make Fairmont as clean
as an Easter Lily. Let every one get
busy and help to make Fairmont a
more slightly city and also more sani-
tary one. Extracts taken from the
Connecticut crusade literature are as
follows:
..4'As Clean as An Easter Liiy.n
A song was written which ran as
follows:
.We're out for a spotless Town
Crusade;
Use a rake on your yard and lawn;
See to 1t that New Britain is made !.
AS clean as a lily by Eastern dawn"
Some "Ten Commandments of Spot
less Town" were printed on red card
board and copy given to each mem
her OF the league. The commandments
were as follows:
i. Don't throw anything on the side
walk or street Find a rubbish can.
Q. Don't tear up paper and scatter
1t anywhere. l.
3. Don't let, any piles OF ashes or
rubbish lay in your backyard. J,
4. Don't mix ashes and garbage IN
the same can, Pigs don't like 70 eat
old coal or clinkers.
S. Don't fill the ash can or carnage
can too full. ..,..a
6. Don't chalk the sidewalk, FENCES
buildings or pavemerts, !,
u Don't deface park benches, school
furniture or any public property
8. Don't forget that horses love pa
mana skins. A banana skin is not DAN
gerous. II Il Is. inside 9 horse s SION,
ach. ~, s,,r;nS,
q. Don't do anything that Will brlng
disgrace to the city where you live.
10. Don't expect Syour city to be.
come clean and perfect all at once. It
will become an ideal city only Wnen
everybody does something every day
to help make things better.
A further stimulation Of interest
among the school children was Spot
less Town literary competition. Three
silver medals and three bronze med
ais we're offered for the best contrtbu'
tion handed in on any one OF the FOL
lowing subjects:

IDAHO REPUBLICANS
HOLD A LOVE FEAST
Party Leaders from Every Section Of the State
Gathered at Boise Wednesday--Much Good
will Result from the Meeting.

State Auditor Taylor, Lieut.. Cover
nor Sweetser and Others. The bur-
den of every speech was to cut out
all insufgent nonsense and get to-
gether on the fundamental principles
of the party.
Mr.. Sweetser sprung the surprise
! of the meeting by announcing that
he had withdrawn from the race for
governor. lie thanked his friends
for their support and. pledged his
best efforts TO the support of the
party in the coming campaign. Mr..
Sxeetser's withdrawal, coupled with
the announcement of Judge Ailrhie
that he would not be b candidate,
leaves only two candidates in the
field at this. time-State Auditor
Taylor and Paul Clagstone.
Two notable additions were made
during the day 70 the list Of possible
candidates to 90 before the voters of
the state at the approaching primar-
les.
One of these was Judge Alfred
Bulge of the Fifth district, for
supreme judge. The other was
Col. Thos. r.. Hamer, who an
nouncrd to his friends that he
would be in the race for congress.
The announcement by Judge
Bulge thot he would be q candidate
for supreme judge, was warmly re-
ceived by his friends from every
section of the state. The Examiner
will have more to say regarding the
Judges candidacy next week.
The sentiment among all present
WAS that the Republicans of Idaho
would 20 into the campaign neat
year solidly united and that TAFT
and the entire state ticket would re-
oeive the largest majority ever rolled
up by the republicans of this state.
