Bevier Girls Rotten Egged

Saturday, Nov. 13, the Bevier
Girls Basket Ball team went to
Shelbyville to play the girls
team there. 1t appears that the
Shelbyville papers scored the
character and conduct of the
Bevier girls and aroused the in
dignation of the appeal to the
point of giving its own full YER
sion of the affair in last weeks
edition.
Evidently the Bevier girls
were charged by the Shelbyville
newspapers with being unfair,
dishonest, unsportsmanlike, and
unladylike in their conduct.
The Bevier Appeal says that
Bevier beat Shelbyville lib and
that their umpire was beat up,
their team followed to the rail-
road station by a mob which
threw dirt, rock, sticks, rotten
apples and rotten eggs at them. Z"
The captain of the Shelbyville
team is the only one in the town
who is credited with being any
where near respectable.
The Shelbyville team is
scheduled to play at Bevier Sat-
urday, but in the face of assur-
ancc they will be treated, right
they may expect some one to
start something and make more
trouble between the towns, both
of which have as respectable
citizens as any other in the state.

Phoenix needs shade trees more than clean vacant lots. according to Mrs. George Merryman.
 At a meeting of the Civic league yesterday afternoon. Mrs Merryman condemned the method employed by the city in trimming trees. Clean up the weeds and they'll come again, but how about the trees?" she asked. Why does the city ask the Civic league and the various women's clubs for city beautiful plans and then deal death blow to the idea by hideously disfiguring the handsome trees that line the streets?' questioned Mrs Merryman.

NEW YORK. March l0.-Because of a possible bearing on investment condi- tions, the attention of the financiers was drawn to Albany where bids were opened by New York state for the s27,- 000,0 900 4R per cent bond issue. To the close of a dull and heavy market ses- sion. no award of the bonds was made but the average prices bid were regard ed satisfactory. The ''curb" traded in bonds when issued" and the high quo tation was 104$s.
 United States Steel tonnage figures for February showed an increase of 97 ,000 tons which was considerably un- der the general estimates. LackaWan- ma Steel showed q net deficit of 1,131, = 900 compared with surplus of 2.615.- 000 in 1913. Surplus Sloss Sheffield Steel company suffered considerable depreciation.
 American tobacco made gain in net earnings, but the total receipts fell off because of losses from other sources of income. American Sugar company and the National Lead company scored substantially over the previous year. Copper showed no improvement over last weeks quotations despite better better inquiry from domestic consum- CTS.
 F'irmness in marks was the feature of the exchange market, the change in re- mittances being attributed to private buying of new German war notes which offer an attractive interest return. The Swiss loan also imported strength to continental exchange. London's mar ket was more cheerful and trading in Americans was quiet Total sales of stock for the day amounted to 175,000 shares.
 Bonds as a whole were heavy, severe losses occurring in minor issues. Total sales represented par value of $2.44S,- 900.

CLEAN UP' NOW THE NEW SLOGAN
Movement is Gaining 1m-
 pct,is and Phoenix May Soon Lay Just Claim to Being Cleanest City in the
 United States .

Not a few citizens who have grasp cd the real meaning and the real benefit to be derived from the Clean Up Day" movement as set forth in The Republican yesterday, became busy yesterday and started removing weeds and accumulated debris from vacant lots and from their residence properties. This means that between now and March 20, the date selected for the general cleaning up, system atically. of every vacant lot in the city. there will be lot of the work done that it might ordinarily be eX- pected would be left to the last day.
 The real campaign will be short and snappy. A committee will be appointed consisting of one member from each of five of the leading will arrange for the districting of the city and will act as judges after the work of cleaning up the city is completed. The Boy Scouts. the boys department of the Y. M. C. A.. and the student body of the public schools will be mobilized in squads and will be assigned districts. Prizes will be offered for the best cleaned districts. The plans are rapidly ma terializing and complete details will be announced in few days.
 Incidentally the movement threat ems to spread. so that on March 20 there will be witnessed the cleaning up of more than vacant lots. Streets and alleys, houses, inside and out, the stores and offices, theaters and other public buildings. all may come in for spring cleaning.
 If the citizens will take hold of this movement there is no reason why Phoenix, after March 20. and for many weeks to come cannot lay just claim to being the cleanest city in the United States
 The Columbia theater will give the Boy Scouts a night all their own. Thursday evening, March IS. having been selected. On that occasion the boys will be abundantly supplied with tickets from the sale of which the Scouts will derive twenty-five per cent to be devoted to necessary eX- pense of the cleanup movement. Manager Richards also promises groups of tickets to be offered as prizes for the best cleaned districts.
