Clean Vacant Lots.

Weeds Of all sorts should at least

toadsldes are responsible for most Of
the weeds in our gardens. and those

goes to show that city cleanliness IS
not such an expensive luxury If made
an everyday necessity.
When the Inauguration of the clean
woods different organizations such
as the Syomens Federated Clubs and
the Commercial club. at once quietly
announced to the citizens that Brown
wood was going after first place in the
contest Then il was simply a matter
OF efficient work and cooperation
among the organizations and the citi-
zens. The city's already excellent con
ditiOn was improved in many ways.
Every defect that could he discovered
was remedied. Every trash pile, ev-
cry hole for the collection of filth and
dirt. was searched out by diligent Of
lcers and banished from the city limits.
No one feature Of the campaign was
more noticeable than the untiring and
efficient work of the Women's FEEDER
ated Clubs through their committees
and individual members. Women went
into the public schools and taught the
children cleanliness.
In gaining and maintaining the
standard OF the "cleanest town in
Texas" Brownwood gained much
knowledge and put into practice many
ideas which will subsequently be pub
lished and given TO the other towns OF
Texas to aid them in attaining the
point OF civic cleanliness which Brown
