tee, p. o. Box 1924, Boston, reports
that information relative to the Clean
UP and Paint Up week idea has been
mailed to over 1000 cities and towns
in the New England states.
The New England committee is
composed OF representatives from
twenty leading trade organizations
who have endorsed this concerted eff

the owners did not clean up, and the
central committee were to write let
tiers to these property owners, asking
them to clean up their places, and in
case this did not bring the desired re-
suits, the conditions were to be re-
ported to the city officials or the
board of health, to see if some pres
sure could not be brought to bear.
The general plan of publicity, to
arouse the citizens to cooperate dur
ing Clean Up week, was as follows:
A proclamation by His Honor /,
Mayor Curley.
Notices read in churches and post
ed in church vestries.
House to house circulars, same be-
ing distributed by the employees or
the public works department when
making their removal of ashes the
week before Clean UP week; some
100, 900 of these circulars, many in
foreign languages, were distributed
in this way.
Dasher signs on all of the street
cars in Boston.
Team signs on all the city wagons
and other trucking teams.
A letter from the school commit
tee was sent to the principal of every
public school, to be read to the pu-
pills, asking them to do their part in
Clean Up work.
A set of fifteen lantern slides was
placed at all the large moving pic
ture shows in the city.
A parade of school children in the
West End, headed by the school boys
band, contributed much publicity in
that section.
One hundred thousand business
mems circulars were distributed in
the wholesale section of the city by
members of the Under Forty division
OF the Boston Chamber of Commerce.

The merchants of the city gave the
newspapers Of Boston a double spread
of pages of advertising clean up ar
ticles. These were run with large
headings across the top Clean UP
and Paint UP This Week"
Retail stores dressed their show
windows with Clean Up articles and
appropriate signs during the week.
Many letters were sent to owners
of vacant lots, asking them to clean
same up and stating that if they could
not conveniently attend to same, II
they would send So to the commit
tee they would employ a man to
clean the lot up and put it in good or

city vacant lots sent the money In
this way.

by the New England committee has
been an earnest effort to render aid

AN ELEMENT OF DISAPPOINTMENT.

The greatest element of %disappoint-
ment in last Fridays Vardaman-Marshall
Day was the rain the night before, which
made many crops in Pontotoc county in ex-
cellent condition for breaking clods, and as
the opportunity presented was one that could
not be delayed, numbers of farmers were
kept in the field who, with their families,
would have helped to swell the crowd pres
ent.
Vice-President Marshall, having missed
a railroad connection, did not reach here
till the evening train, and our people had
very little opportunity to see him, except
those who attended his lecture. The lecture
was also a disappointment from some stand
points. PROFESSIONALLY Mr.. Marshall is not
an orator; he did not tell us anything start
ling, strange or particularly instructive.
But after all, as Senator Vardaman ex-
pressed it, he seems to be a charming little
gentleman"-at least, we are willing to
take the Senator's word for it, and those Of
us who coughed up a dollar to hear the lee
ture no doubt got a dollars worth of fun
out of the days proceedings. -Winston's

THE PAPER PULP MILL MACHINERY
is ARRIVING.

Several carloads of machinery for the
new Paper Pulp Mill plant arrived in Green
wood. this week, and Mr.. j. F. Menees' log
loader has been unloading same on the fac
tory site.
Mr.. E. w. Strain, of the Economic
Power & Products Co., Philadelphia, Pa,
and Assistant General Freight Agent j. l..
Cox, Of the Southern Railway Company,
have been here assisting with the unloading
of this massive machinery, and they report
that several more cars for this extensive
plant will arrive within a short time. Mr..
Strain is an intelligent and affable gentle
man, and is enthusiastic in his estimate of
the great possibilities Of this section of the
Delta-her magnificent agricultural re-
sources, her bountiful supply Of pure artes-
ian water, her magnanlmous citizenship,
etc. and predicts that Greenwood will at
no great distant date be a city of consider
able proportions. He left with The Com
monwealth some samples Of paper manu-
featured from Alabama cotton stalks, and
it has a very neat finish and appearance.
Those who wish to see these samples can do
to by calling at this office. The big Paper
Pulp Mill will prove to be the most bene-
fetal industry ever located in Greenwood,
and the planters and business men of Lefore
and adjacent counties are invited to come
SO our "Get-Acquainted and Good Roads
Barbecue" on June 18th, and help us cele-
brate our good fortune in landing this great
enterprise in the Queen City of the Delta.
