Right Way to Clean Windows

IF windows are easily reached the
glass In them keeps clean a great
deal longer If it is busted regularly in
side and out. A folded pad of news
paper is the best thing to use, and if
this is .sprinkled with a few drops of
ammonia or paraffin it Will serve for
window cleaning also.
When windows are to be washed
they should be busted first with the
newspaper pad If very dusty. In this
way the cleaning and polishing will be
more easily done. A teaspoonful of
ammonia or paradin to each half gall
Ion of warm water makes a good solu-
ton, or cold water and washing blue
may be tried. Charnois leather is ex-
cellent for the final polishing
In frosty weather methylated spirit
is useful, or the newspaper pad may be
sprinxled with paraf1n and no water
at all used.
Windows must never be cleaned
when the sun is shining on them, and
all cloths used must be free from lint.
Experience seems to prove that differ

methods of cleaning, but in every case

recommended for the final polish and

DAILY PAPER
FOR CAMPAIGN
PLAN Of VETS
Imported Editor Will Help Boost
Liquor Question in PrOpos-
ed Publication.

If an expected contribution to the
funds of the Taxpayers association
is made this week it is proposed to
commence the publication of a daily
newspaper to carry the brunt of the
wet campaign. 1t is said that the
expense in connection with the pub
lication of a paper containing wet
literature is surprising the leaders
of the movement and that a requisi-
tion for more cash will have to be
honored by \. NJ. Eppstein in Dem
yer before the matter can be decided
upon.
Plans as made up to this time con-
template the Importation of an editor
from Denver, it is understood, al
though there is rumor that Louis
Meyer of Clifton has been tentatively
offered the place.
Since no comfort could be gained
by the wet leaders from the attitude
of the two local dailies they have
found it necessary, they declare, to
have an organ. Such an institution
was Unexpectedly expensive and un-
less further contributions are made
by the Colorado Liquor Dealers as

TODD ISSUES PROCLAMATION
FOR GENERAL CLEANUP DAY
The reclamation.

The proclamation of Mayor 7.
M. Todd anent the great cleanup
day next Wednesday is given be-
low. Mayor Todd declares that
the event must be ere of socia-
bility as well as work and that it
can, ought to be and probably
will be made an annual event.
TO THE CITIZENS OF GRAND
JUNTI0N:
Greeting:
Believing that general clean
up day will prove a great good
and benefit to Grand Junction
and that this time of year is best
suited to cleaning up our streets,
alley, vacant lots and business
section, and that said cleanup
day can only be a success through
the united effort of all the bust
ness and professional men in the
city, and that in order to make
the day complete success it will
be wise to declare the day, We'd
: nesday, October Is, holiday in
the city of Grand Junction. l
therefore proclaim it such and ex-
pect all business houses to close
their doors during the entire day.
This can only be a success if
all men unite and give their SER
vices to the city for one day,
agreeing to work under the cap
tains of the different streets, ap-
pointed by Comissioner Rankin,
and united effort of the right
kind can make this day q memor-
able one which other cities can
afford to emulate.
No time of the year is more fav-
orable than the present for a gen.
eral cleanup and large quanti-
ties of weeds cut and burned now
will greatly reduce next years
crop. A successful cleanup will
rid the city of much undesirable
matter and refuse, leaving it in
splendid condition for the winter.
May the people of Grand juno
ton rally to this call and ally
themselves to this great move
ment and make Grand Junction
the cleanest, healthiest city in
Colorado.
