Club Women Work to
Clean Up and Paint Up
Five Thousand Cities
CIVIC LEADERS PUT BAN ON
PINK TEAS.
Clean Yards, Few Shrubs and
Flowers, and a Little Paint,
for a Better Hometown
Mrs. Clarence Baxter.

THAT the club women of America
i are not waiting for full suffrage
before taking an active part in
civic betterment work is proven by
the earnest efforts of thousands Of
women in local "Clean Up and Paint
Up" campaigns in practically every
state in the Union. THE men are too
busy, or too chesty," said one Of these
women, ito see the need of or to do
simple Identification and sanitation
work. And yet that work is vital to
the health of thousands and to the
progress of the community in better
living conditions to keep pace with
increasing population"
There was time," she continued,
when pink teas and gossip character
ICED our local club meetings. But that
time is past. There are million
things for the betterment of the town
that we are able to do, and we are
trying to do them as fast as we can
get to them. The Clean Up and
Paint Up campaign, in which we are
working shoulder to shoulder with the
men, embodies big batch of i'm
provements we have had in mind.
This campaign seems to be for
tunate combination of ideals, Clean
Up and Paint Up 1t gives us work
to do now, with a definite program to
start things off, and with absolutely,
no end of possibilities in permanent,
constructive effort. And the best Of;
it is that this campaign simply forces
the men to work with us. A success,
full campaign means an increased de-.
mand for many kinds of merchandise,
means conservation of property, means
increased realty values-it means a.
better business town and better,
home town. Why shouldn't the men
lend a hand?"
And this woman Is not alone in her
enthusiasm. Mrs. Clarence Baxter
chairman Of the Women's COMMITTEES
Of the National "Clean Up and Paint
Up" Campaign Bureau, st. Louis, has,
seen her home town, Kirksville, Mo-,
refurbished from the city hall to corr
poration limits entirely through the
earnest work Of group Of women. AS,
chairman of the civic and health de-,
partment of the Missouri Federation
of Women's Clubs, and as vice chair
man of the civics department Of the
General Federation Of Women's Clubs,
Mrs. Baxter is inspiring and advising,
thousands Of club women In similar.
work. She will be glad to write to
and advise others.

Files in the bureaus offices, which
indicate that the organization has in
reality become a national clearing
house for the dissemination of com.
munity betterment ideas, show that
last year more than 1000 cities and
towns made an effort to clean up and
paint up" This year." commented
Chairman Clark, 1T looks as though
we would cooperate with more than
5000 communities, in each of which
some live civic leader is trying to i'm
prove living conditions. Though a
majority oG these campaigns will start
with an opening week. a definite
program of activity, we know that the
bureaus success has been chiefly due
to the fact that we try to get away
from the old-fashioned annual clean
up idea that has become odious to
many civic leaders and an annual joke
In many cities. The plans of the
bureau call for continuous campaigns
that bring permanent results and help
form worth while civic habits"
The Work to Be Done.
The work of the bureau this year is
more comprehensive than ever before.
Everything that will beautify, pre-
serve, improve sanitation, reduce fire
risks, and better health conditions has
been carefully provided for. Among
the things which local Clean Up and
Paint Up" campaigners are doing this
year are: Cleaning the streets and
alleys, front yards, back yards, cellars,
stables, atticks; the removal Of ashes
and rubbish; cleaning up vacant lots
Of rubbish and weeds; eliminating
breeding places of flies and mosqui.
toes; planting and care of trees,
hedges and flowers; and the liberal
use of paint on everything that
needs 1t.
It is this constructive, permanent
nature of the improvements effected
that has won the endorsement of
national leaders in every branch Of
civic uplift work. Among those serv.

thrift and civic pride, which the
Bureau is trying to do, is the work
Of newspaper editors throughout the
country, asserts Chairman Clark. For
instance, here is what Paul Brown,
editor of The st. Louis Republic, has
to say of the movement:
Thousands of American cities and
towns have taken up the National
Clean Up and Paint Up campaign
that originated in st. Louis three sea-
sons ago. 1t has been Endorsed by
thousands of civic, commercial and
women's organizations all over the
nation. The cities that have made
IuCub0lfcS d pdAI VI LAC uONCAhOAI
are cleaner and better cities because
of it. The Republic aided in launch
ing the initial campaign and Is glad
to know that the Federation Of
Women's Clubs is planning general
st. Louis campaign for this spring.
This will aid in making st. Louis the
Healthiest City, for paint is the great
preservative and powerful aid in
sanitation. Add to beauty and economy
the fact that paint has sanitary
value, and the arguments apply with
added force to the big cities. Nat.
urally the paint dealer profits by such
campaigns. None but the pessimist
will object to this. He gives value
received and more. The house that
is painted is the better for it. A
neighborhood that has cleaned up and
painted up is a better one in which
to live. Paint makes for self-respect
and justifiable pride"
In the office of the National "Clean
Up" and Paint Up" Campaign Bureau
hangs a room-size wall map, with
every state dotted by red stars de-
noting cities conducting campaigns
last year. And so 1t is true that civic
leaders in thousands of towns are
working to "get their town on the
map" this year,

Boys. Clubs Testing Seed Corn

For the benefit of the doubling
Thomases. we are quoting from some
letters of boys who are members of
the corn clubs. These boys are re-
ceiving lessons in corn growing each
month from the Colorado Agricultural
College: more than that, they are TAX
ing these lessons to heart and are
starting their summers work right
by testing the corn they mean to use
for seed.
They find that some ears of corn
test only 90 per cent good: this means
that IL such corn is planted there
will be only 20 per cent stand. and
the chances are that even that would

One Morgan county boy reports
that on the 18th day the rag doll
testers were opened and I'VE found
some long sprouts but not very strong.
Some long and healthy sprouts and
some short sprouts. and some that
were dead. This taught us how to
test corn after this and what kind OF
corn Is best" Another boy writes:
"I am going to test my corn this

to do better this year" Another.
This corn test has taught me that
after this we should always test corn
to see IL we would have good crops or
