CLEANUP CRUSADES
 ID BE CONDUCTED IN ALL PARTS OF CITY
Tomorrow Campaign Will Be in West End-COmmis- siOners Will CO-Operate
 in the Work

Tomorrow Is to be "cleaning day in West End and all householders in that suburb are expected by the city com missioners to cooperate. The ladies of that section started the movement, which has been given official sanction by the commissioners and the city will aid in every way possible.
 If all persons who clean up their streets, front and rear lawns and gardens will pile the rubbish fin barrels or boxes in the alleys it will be carted off in the next day or two by the street department.
 The commissioners plan to have a "cleanng day" in every section of the city like this, but at different times so that the street department will not be overtaxed with the added garbage. The movement is feature of the city beau tiful campaign.
 The ladies of Lakeview have called a general meeting at the home of Mrs. Charles Scott this afternoon at o'clock and all women residing n that section are invited to be present. General dis cussion of the city beautiful movement and organization of different street clubs will be the order of business.
 Some of the charmen originally named by the commissioners have either never formed clubs or else have not reported them to the commission. Therefore the commissioners yesterday sent out the following letter to all chairmen whom they have not yet heard from:
 "The city beautiful department has not yet received notice of the organization of the street of which you were named chairman. We trust you win act at once, as the planting and cleaning time is here.
 If it should be so that you cannot start the club, kindly send in the name of, some lady on your street who will do so.
 "The city beautiful movement seems to be a great success, as something over POO clubs are already actively at work and are producing fine results"
 In recapitulation of the different sug- gestions and offers of aid made by the city during the past several weeks. the following was drafted yesterday. It af- lords an index to the features of the movement and is in addition to the sug- gestions in the regular city beautiful booklet given to every club member. The commi ssioners ask that every woman cut this out of The Age-Heraid and paste it in her scrap book as it may, answer ques- tions in the future which she would have to call the city hall to get:
 Plants Distributed-Every fire depart ment is distributing point for plants, shrubs, etc., that some people can af- ford to give away, or are willing to give away, so that those who are not able to buy can get them.
 Street Sweeping for Fertilizer-We have a large amount of good rich street sweepings. A permit will be given to anyone who wants some of it. It is old and well routed and makes excellent fer tilizer.
 "Cut Down Carolina Poplars-The city will haul away Carolina poplars that any one will cut down. At the same time, the city will give permit for a hackberry tree from it's forest property to take it's place. The hackberry is probably the most satisfactory street and yard tree for this climate.
 Shrubs for Sidewalk Strips-We recom- mend that small evergreen shrubs, like arborvitae amoor privet be planted in the sidewalk strip next to the curb By all means keep the sidewalk strip clean and green.
 'sWorkmen-The information bureau at the city beautiful> department would like to get the names and address of men who want work. Would also be glad to receive the name of anyone wishing to amploy a gardner or workman. This is for the purpose of giving employment to those who are in need of work, as well as to assist residents wishing to employ help.
 '.Vacant Lots-We invite offering of va- cant lots that the owners are willing for clubs to plant on and clean up. Also want the name of any children or City
