'PAINT UP" GOOD ECONOMY
Movement That Has Double Apl4aI
Ito the Vanity and TO
the Pocket.

Paint Up" Is the movement that
came bounding In right on the heels
OF the cleanup campaign. and Is catch
ing on like the traditional "wild-fire. Z
Different from the other civic cam
paigns, paint up" has a double ap,
peal. 1t appeals to the vanity and 1t
appeals to the pocket II appeals to
the vanity In that very small outlay
of money can transform most any
home into beautiful place. 1t APP
peals to the pocket In that 1t adds pro-
longed life to the wooden structure
and renders It far more economical
and saieable in the open market. A
freshly painted home Is q thing OF
beauty and an always attractive prop,
osition to prospective buyers.
Real estate men all says that $50 or
800 worth of paint adds from $500
to $1,000 in saleable value to any
building. In the large cities there ara
spectators who make profession OF
buying old, dilapidated-looking struc,
lures and repainting them at mod
crate cost, and then selling them at a
much advanced figure
Painting is the best wood preserva-
tive yet discovered. 1t is the greatest
home beautifier beyond question. 1t
is the best investment a home owner
can make on his premises. 1t Is a
good investment IL the home is in
tended for a permanent residence, be.
cause it preserves the wood and
makes the home attractive. 1t is a
good investment If the house lis on
the market, because it invariably in
duces a better price than an unpaint-
ed structure.
To paint your home and barns and
outhouses is good business. 1t Is
good citizenship, and 1t Is splendid
investment, viewed from any angle

Clean Up and Paint Up

We want 4 healthier town, 4
more sanitary town, a better
town In which 10 live.
4 scrubbing brush and pain,
win do il.
While thousands Of cities and
towns are enthusiastically en-
gagged in a clean up and paint up
campaign why should we not
nave the same kind Of a cam
paign right here at homer
Why not clean up the streets
and alleys, the back and front
yards, the vacant lots7 Why not
remove the dirt wherever we can
ind it2 Why not paint the dinuy
houses and fences7
There IS both pleasure and
economy in such a campaign. Il
means a more attractive place In
which to live, and adds to the
pleasure Of life. Removing the
accumulated dirt means less
sickness, and painting up adds
to the value Of our homes and
business buildings.
The man who inaugurated the
clean up and paint up campaign
that has for the last three years
swept over the nation has bene-
f!ted millions Of people. We
should get into this popular
movement and share in the pleas
ures apd benefits that invariably
come from a campaign Of this
character.

CLEAN up AND PAINT UP"

fBy Sidney Warren Mase.)
God gave the rose its crimson hue,
And made the lily white;
He made the violet of blue,
And all things fair and bright;
The rainbow with its varied tints
He painted In the shy,
And Man by sundry schemes and
hints
Has profited thereby.
The vernal glow of leaves and grass
And rudy CLEAN of flowers
That In the springtime come to pass
In this bright world OF ours,
Are tokens of the master plan
Or One who rules on high,
And bear a message unto Man
To build and beautify.
And so the moral of this verse,
We feel is very plain:
This earth, though burdened with a
curse,
Was founded not in vain;
Which is the simple reason why
& Men live and strive and win.
Who build and paint and beautify
The world they're living in.

CLARK'S GREAT IDEA
How the Clean Up and Paint Up
Movement Started.
st. Louis Editor Originated Campaign
for Cleanliness, Thrift and Civic
Pride That Spread Over the
Entire Country.

Some three years ago Allen w.
Clark, q St. Louis editor, started all
by himself a movement that since
then has spread all over this broad
land and that has resulted in incalcu-
liable good Mr.. Clark realized that
though house cleaning time" was sup
posed by the jokesmiths to be the
bane OF all men, vet there was not a
decent citizen OF the United States
who was not glad to have his own
premises and those of his neighbors
put in applepie order at least once a
year. Especially welcome to them was
the idea that their respective towns or
cities should be made decent and pre-
sentablo.
In many communities there had
been annual cleanup" weeks or days,
and to Mr.. Clark came the thought
that all that scattered effort should be
organized into constructive form and
50 directed that It should have more
uniform and effective results. He
knew he could enlist the women In
such a plan, and he thought the men
also might be induced to take 1t up.
So In June. 1912, Editor Clark made
the announcement that a national
Clean Up and Paint Up" campaign
would start the next spring. Then he
set about getting influential aid in
making good on that announcement.
He wrote to a number Of men and
women prominent nationally In public
welfare organizations to ask for their
Endorsement of the scheme and their
advice in carrying 1t forward. The re-
sponses were most encouraging, the
following, from Edward T. Hartman
secretary of the Massachusetts Civic
league, being typical Of them all:
am greatly interested In the idea sug-
gested In your expression that this ''clean
up and paint up" campaign Is to be
pushed by two arguments, viz, that TITS
Good Citizenship and Good Business" for
| believe that this states the only sub
stantial basis upon which we may prop
erly develop either citizenship or BUSH
ness The business which aims to accom-
plish Its purpose by ignoring and even de-
stroying good citizenship is short lived.
and is fatal not only to itself, but to the
community in general. You are In Pc
cuiiarly advantageous position to aid in
conservation and Improvement, for paint
Is a direct means to the conservation OF
houses, also of the forests. and Of many
other things which we are going to have
to conserve II we are not to permit our
selves to go to pieces as a nation. We
cannot continue the present wasteful pro-
cesses much longer.
Being now convinced that he was
on the right path, Mr.. Clark now es-
tablished the National Clean Up and
Paint Up campaign bureau in st.
Louis and himself took the place OF
chairman. The rest, he says, was easy.
Business and civic organizations,
women's clubs, preachers and editors
all over the country at once began
calling on him for campaign plans and
literature to spread the gospel OF
cleanliness, thrift and civic pride. The
great idea has been taken up enthusi-
astically in thousands of American
communities.
