Clean Up and Paint Up

We want a healthier town, a
more sanitary town, a better
town in which to live.
A SCrubbing brush and paint
will do it.
While thousands Of cities and
towns are enthusiastically en-
gagged in a clean up and paint up
campaign why should we not
have the same kind Of a CAM
paign right here at home?
Why not clean up the streets
and alleys, the back and front
yards, the vacant lots? Why not
remove the dirt wherever we can
find it? Why not paint the dingy
houses and fences?
There is both pleasure and
economy in such a campaign. It
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-
fitted millions Of people. We
should get into this popular
movement and share in the pleas
ureS and benefits that invariably
come from a campaign of this
character.

"cLEAN UP AND PAINT UP"

(By Sidney Warren Mase)
God gave the rose It's crimson hue
And made the lily white
He made the violet Of blue
And all things fair and bright
The rainbow VITA Its varied tints
He painted In the sky,
And Man by sundry schemes and
hints
Has prohted thereby
The yernNl glow Of leaves and grass
And ruddy CLEAN OF flowers
That IN the springtlmo come to pass
In this bright world Of ours,
Are tokens Of the master plan
OF one who rules on high,
And bear message unto Man
TO build and beautlfy
And 30 the moral Of this verse,
We feel is very plain;
This earth, though burdoncd with n
curse,
Was founded not IN vain
Which Ia the simple reason why
Men live and strive and win
Who build and paint and beautlfy
The world they're living in

GLARkS 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, a 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 thaI
though house cleaning time" was sup
posed by the jokesmiths to be the
bane of all men, yet there was not d
decent citizen Of the United States
who was not glad to have his own
premises and those Of his neighpors
put in applepie order at least once
year. Especially welcome to them was
the idea that their respective towns or
cities should be made decent and pre-
sentabl9.
In many communities there had
been annual Cleanup weeks or days
and to Mr. Clark came the thought
that all that scattered effort should De
organized into constructive form ana
so directed that It should have more
uniform and effective results, lie
knew he could enlist the women IN
such a plan, and he thought the men
also might be induced to take 1t mp
So in June, 1912, Editor Clark made
the announcement that a national
"Clean Up and Paint Up campaign
would start the next spring, Then ne
set about getting influential ald III
making good on that announcement
He wrote to a number Of men ana
women prominent nationally in public
welfare organizations to ask for their
Endorsement Of the scheme and their
advice in carrying it forward, The re-
sponses were most encouraging, the
following, from Edward 7, 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 IT'S
Good citizenship and Good Business Tor
/ believe that this states the only sub
stantlal basis upon which we may prop
erly develop either citizenship or buSl-
ness. The business which aims TO accom-
plish It's purpose by ignoring and even de-
stroyIng good citizenship Is short UYed'

other things which we are going TO have
TO conserve II we are not to permit our
selves TO 90 TO pieces as nation, we

cossos much longer,
Being now convinced that he was
on the right path Mr. Clark now es'
tablIshed the National Clean Up and

chairman, The rest, he says, was easy
