Spring cleaning has been going
on for some time in this city but
there is still a lot more to do. 1t
has been proven that the fellow who
says the most about other people
cleaning is the one who has the
biggest rubbage pile in his own
back yard. 1t is up to each and
everyone now to clean up his own
yard and then see what can be
done with vacant lots and public
highways. Every property owner
takes a pride in the appearance
of the city and will no doubt do all
he can to beautify it. Even tho
your back yard cannot be seen by
the public at all times is no sign
it should not be cleaned. The
health of the community demands
it and the Com aercial Club
demands it.

OF THE DAY
A Just Verdict.

Once upon a time a wild eyed Man
ran down a crowded street in the
Shopping District. yanking the False
Hair from Women's Heads and
throwing it on the Pavement and
dancing on 1t with Screams af cerie
Laughter. The Hue Of the Artificial
Locks-red, black, brown or peroxide
-mattered Nothing. He grabbed it
off indiscriminatingly. Although he
was in the Grasp Of the Law within
a Short Time, v in that Limited
Space he pulled of enough Jute to
stuff a small Tent.
At the Trial, after the Eminent
prosecutor had concluded his Denun-
citation Of the Fiend in Human Form,
the Young Attorney for the Defense
had uttered a few feeble Platitudes
and the twelve Good Men and True
had retired to the Sanctity Of the
Jury Room. the Foreman quietly re-
marked, "My Wife's cost 500"
