Meeting Of Superintendent Has Been
Called for Tomorrow After
noon to Discuss Prelim-
mary Plans.
APRIL 80 IS THE TIME SET
Removal Of Refuse and Rubbish viii
Give Means Of swattins the @
Fly Before He Gets
Good Start.

A meeting of the men and women
superintendents of the Brighten up
Crusade movement is called for the
Industrial association tomorrow af-
ternoon at o'clock. The meeting
will be to talk over the preliminary
plans, report on what has been done
and the plan for the big day April 80.
There is considerable to be done in
the way Of arousing the property own
ers and at the meeting tomorrow,
plans will be considered along this
line.
Brighten Up Crusade day will be
Thursday, April 80. It will be the
annual spring house cleaning day for
the city. The rubbish piles, ash heaps
and refuse which usually adorn the
alleys must all go on that day. Gen
eral Clean Up will be in charge of the
forces, and anybody that doesn't sa-
lutte his flag will be liable for trouble.
Keokuk will be the mecca for ex-
cursionists this season and trips here
Oh Sundays and weekdays will be as
frequent as they were last year, and
it is estimated that there will be
equally as many people visiting here
this summer as came last summer.
Nothing impresses a visitor like the
clean appearance of city, and for
this reason the brighten up day
hackers want all the property owners
to see to it that their premises are
cleaned up, and kept looking fit dur
ing the entire season.
1t has been shown time and again
that without garbage, manure and re-
fuse piles, we can't have flies. A
clean up of these breeding places of
the obnoxious pest which dabbles his
feet in filth and disease germs and
then skates over the sugar and the
baby's bottle. will be step In the
direction of swatting the fly before
he can get started to do his dirty
work. 5~s% - +
It is against the law to throw ashes
into alleys, and property owners who
have been making a practice of this
sort of thing will be given chance
to clean up their alleys, by having
some one come to haul the stuff away,
and by furnishing barrels or some re-
ceptacle to throw the ashes into In
the future.
There is always an accumulation OF
more or less rubbish In the spring
of the year, and this will all be got
ten out of the way on brighten up day.

That Niles road has always been so

the same effect as riding on the pilot

The constituent parts Of the Niles
road are sand. mud and gravel and
there is so much sand end mud that
the gravel doesn't have a chance. The
way the improvements have been made

they didn't distribute can be found in

interest and work. These are the
missing ingredients that are now 10

good foundation. and granite gravel,
the best road material i'm the world,

OUR WHEAT CROP.

We are gOing 20 have twenty per
cent more winter wheat than we had
last year and nifty per cent more than
in 1912-if the indications make good.
Last year We had 5l3.00O.0O0 bushels
This year We are 10 have 630.OO0000
bushels-if the figures don't lie. The
area TO be harvested is 35.SS7.OOO
acres
Last year the winter wheat fields Of
the country made a total Of 3O.s3S, 900
acres and the crop was 10. 100000 bu-
shells above the estimate This year
with abundant rains which insure con-
tinued moisture except in case of the
most protracted drought the excess
above the estimate should be much
larger. Counting spring wheat the
prospect is that the country Will have
nearly billion bushels 10 market this
year.
Indiana is listed with Illinois Michi-
gan, Ohio and Missouri among the
states with nearly perfect prospects.
This state has 2.4S5.00O acres IN wheat
and the indicated yield is $500. 600
bushels. The present condition is sS
