FOLLOWING THE CLEANUP.

New Orleans Sends Printed Reminders
to Its Citizens.
Keeping the city in order from day
to day, after the annual cleanup, is
problem which requires some ingenui-
ty. To ward Off relapse into care
lessness on the part Of its spring clean
ed citizens the department of public
property of New Orleans has recently
issued set of small folders called the
"City Beautiful Series" which it IL ex-
pected will be effective in producing
results. These are printed In style
to make them attractive and interest
ing and are unique as to contents: In
each case, as practical part Of the
argument, 1t is stated that the depart
ment is determined to put an end to
the throwing of papers and rubbish
upon the streets and that stringent
measures will be adopted to punish all
violators of the city ordinances upon
this subject.
These warnings are distributed by the
citizens committee, which consists Of
representatives of the board of trade,
New Orleans Association of Commerce
and other commercial organizations.
Each ward in the city also has a rep
resentative on the committee, and the
Women's club has rendered valuable
assistance in circulating the folders.
1t is interesting to note that each Of
the seventeen wards of New Orleans
has a club devoted to the identifying
of it's surroundings and that repre-
sentative from each precinct reports
progress at the ward meetings.

Fighting the Billboard Nuisance.

In decision delivered not long ago
the supreme court Of Illinois upholds
the principle underlying Chicago's pres.
ent billboard ordinance. Not only is
the measure declared valid, but the
reasoning of the court indicates that
even a stronger ordinance dealing with
the billboard would be sustained.
AS the contest over this nuisance Is
going to the supreme court of the Unit
ed States, where the frontage consent
feature of the existing ordinance may
be the special object of attack, oppo-
nents of billboards are seeking to i'm
prove the measure. Instead of provid-
ing, as does the ordinance as it stands,
that billboards may be permitted In

prevail of the majority of the property

SECOND CLEANUP
CONTEST IN UTAH
Remarkable Results Achieved
In Initial Campaign.
REVIEW OF WORK DONE.

Or. 7. M. Beatty, Secretary OF the State
Board of Health, Has Reported That
the First Campaign Reduced the
Death Rate Throughout Utah.
The second cleanup contest in the
state of Utah is now on. The first one
was inaugurated early in 1914 by the
secretary of the Utah Development
league. He worked through the COM
mercial clubs of the state, the COVER
nor and the state board of health. As
a result Utah In 1914 conducted the
first cleanup town contest ever held in
this country under the auspices Of
state bureau.
So remarkable were the results last
year, says the Survey, that the con-
test is being repeated this year by the
state board Of health, the Utah De-
velopment league cooperating. The
manner Of conducting the contest and
the mode of scoring will be essentially
the same this year as last, so brief
review of last years event will show
the general value of the movement.
The contest started about the middle
of March. Each town organized a
committee of citizens who outlined and
directed Its campaign. Provo, town
of 10000 population, selected commit
tee Of fifty. A captain for each Of the
$50 city blocks was also appointed. By
a centrally chosen street the town was
divided into two competing sections.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1915-07-23

From the citizens of each section doc.
tor and ayman were chosen, constitut-
ing committee of four judges.
When a resident finished cleaning up
he notified the judges that his premises
were ready for inspection. The judges
scored his premises on possible basis
of 90 points. If he scored Is points he
was given red or blue button accord
ing to whether he belonged to the red
or blue army. The army receiving the
greater number of buttons prevailed.
In Lehi a prize of $25 was given the
winning side.
The same system of scoring as was
used locally was employed by the state
wide judges in scoring the towns in
the final contest, excepting that five
points We're reserved for sanitation of
schoolhouses and other public buildings
and five points for vacant lots, making
the highest possible score for town
as q whole 100 points.
The state judges began scoring the
towns on Aug. 10. before which date
all preparations for the contest ceased.
The three judges, one of whom was j.
Fl. Wallis, former state food and dairy
commissioner of Idaho were paid for
their services out of the funds of the
state health department The judges
were busy scoring from Aug. 10 until
the first week in November.
OF the possible 100 points Is were
devoted to sewage, Is to stables and
corrals, 10 to garbage disposal, 10 to
water supply, 5 to public buildings, 8
to the marketing Of food, to the pres.
ence of flies Tor, better, the absence of
them) to house sanitation. To the
aesthetic, as distinguished from the
sanitary aspect of the scoring, the re.
naming points were overwhelmingly,
to the condition Of streets, parks and
alleys, towns and flower gardens, va
cant lots and fences.
The towns fell in six classes, from
A to F inclusive, depending on the pop
ulation. Salt Lake and Ogden alone
constituted class A. Manti, a town
of between 1900 and $500 population

though there was prize for the lead
ing town In each class.

MILLY'S
PRIZE
Despite the Trick of a
Rival, She Proved
a Winner
By CLARISSA MACKIE

Milly Fenwick danced triumphantly
around the kitchen table, whereon re-
posed the four loaves of bread which
she had baked for the Little River fair.
Big loaves they were, Drowned deli
cately without, sLcwy white and sweet
within-perfect loaves of perfect bread.
"You silly child smiled Mrs. Fen

caught Milly in the midst Of her gay
dance.

Milly blushed furiously.
"Well, of course you were engaged

"What shall you buy?' asked Mrs.
Fenwick indulgently.

Dear child" sighed Mrs. Fenwick,

balance Of 5000 has worried him for
five years, and he cannot seem to get
ahead so he can pay it off. 1t has been
such a bad year, and he has had to hire
so much help because Of his illness"
"You can't say anything that l have
not already thought of" protested Mil.

and tossed a white napkin over them

"She can't make handsomer loaves

proudly.
"Well, we will see. I'm going up
stairs to get ready, mother, and Their

A GLIMPSE OF SWINBURNE.
Bayard Taylor Called Him Perverse,
WiIIful and Unreasonable.


In all important respects except one
/ found him to be very much what
anticipated, writes Laura Stedman in
the North American S.4view, quoting
Bayqrd Taylor's impression of Swim
burne The exception is instead Of
being a prematurely blase young man
of the world, he is rather wilful, per.
verse, unreasonable, spoiled child His
nature is still that of the young Shell
ley, and my great fear is that 1t will
never be otherwise.
He needs the influence of nature
stronger that his in everything but the
imaginative faculty-such a nature as
Byron's was to Shelley. = He has
weak moral sense, but his offences
arise from Il colossal unbalanced affec.
tation. This, or something like it, is a
disorgaLkiing element in his nature
which quite obscures the organizing
} that is artistic-sense. What admire
in him, yet admire with feeling of
pain, is the mad, unrestrained prepon-
derance of the Imagination. 1t is a
godlike quality, but he sometimes uses
it like a devil. He greatly interests
my intellect, but does not touch me
magnetically.
He could have no power over me, but
on the contrary, l felt that l should
be able to influence him in q short
time. l had a letter from hfm the
other day which shows that be feels
an Intellectual relationship between us.
Now. this is not a question Of relative
poetic power, but of a certain diversity
of qualities, and | don't mean to be
egotistic in saying that | might perform
somewhat of the same service for him
as Byron for Shelley ! feel mat Qf

him to some degree of poise, OF system,
of law; in short, art.
In this sense he moves my deepest
sympathy, for / see now the matter

cy of mine be foolish, there 1t is, new

ing assistance week alone with SWIM
