address, which was delivered in the
gymnasium of the public school
building. The graves OF the old sol
diers were decorated by grandchil'
dren of the old soldiers. At the grave
Of the unknown dead, which was sym
bolized by a press OF flowers, an ad.
dress was listened to from the local
Methodist minister. These exercises
were attended from start to finish
by a large and appreciative audi
ence, which made all feel repaid for
any extra effort they may have made.
The day was ideal, helping much to-

get busy, and they did so with a vim.
This committee met, and in confer

ing, nearly finished, was secured and,
the. day previous, decorated appropri'
atcly with bunting. The room was
seated with benches and chairs and
rockers, and the deep window made
comfortable with rugs, where moth.

The rest room was "a very wise
idea,' one person was heard to re-
mark, and indeed it did seem so,
when a great downpour Of rain caus-
ed the crowd to seek shelter.

CIVIC AND STUDY CLUB At

Study club of Edgeley, writes to this
department a most interesting &C
count of the work of tile organiza-
ton. The big things already accom-
pllshcd augurs we'll for the future OF

Our club was organized by Mrs.
Bush, vice president of the Sixth dis
trict, Feb. 10. 1913, under the name
Civic and Study club, with 8 charter
members. We considered the mat
ter promptly and federated ourselves
regularly the first and third Thurs
day of each month, with interesting
programs. saa
The first public work we assumed
was to organize and carry to a sue
cessful termination a Cleanup Day.
A committee of club ladies conferred
with the mayor (whO, by the way,
heartily approved our action, with
the result that the ordinance pertain
ing to the Watter was printed in the
local paper, together with a personal
article by himself, urging that house
holders take notice of said ordinance
and act accordingly. Different men,
bers of the club also wrote articles
calling attention to the necessity OF
a cleanup day, which were printed
from week to week, keeping the mat
ter constantly before the public. Az
other committee was appointed to pa
troll the back alleys and other places
not noted for their cleanliness, with
instructions to report their findings
to the proper city authorities if con-
ditions warranted an investigation
from ~thatsourcc. 1t was not neces-
sary to wait until May 9 Cleanup
day date) to see the rakes and vari-
u cleanup Implements busy, and
when evening of the final day did
arrive it was to see much improve
ment in the appearance of our city.
We were also successful Wien we
undertook to arrange a program for
Memorial Day. A speaker was Sc
cured after some little correspond
ence by the club president. Com
mittees were appointed to look after
the various details necessary. A line
