PUT INOPfRAT|0N
FRIDAY OCT.

Automatic gates will be put in op-
Grafton at the Florida avenue cross
ing of the Atlantic Coast Line at I
a. m. Friday morning, Oct. /. This
much needed protective device would
have been installed a year or more
a.o, but the matter was held up by
legal process on the part of citizen
who had some objection based ON his
private property rights. The present
City Commissioners have been very
diligent in pushing the matter, and
finally all distractions have been re-
moved and the device can now be
put into operation.
These gates are equipped with
automatic gongs, which will ring as
warning before the gates are low
cred. No person should attempt to
90 under or around the gates when
lowered, as this indicates a train is
approaching. At night a green light
will be displayed on the gates when
down, or when the street is blocked
by train.
Similar gates are also being
installed at the crossings on Ken
lucky avenue and Massachusetts
avenue, but these are not yet ready
and will not be operated before

HEALTH DAY-oLEAN UP DAY

We have often set aside Arbor Day
as clean up day for the rural schools
but this year we are asking each
school district to decide on its own
clean up day. We need some fresh
paint and paper in some places, some
need curtains, some seats better
adapted to the size of children, and
now comes that old, old question of
outbuildings. In large per cent of
the schools these are in fair condi-
ton. Some times we find new build
ings disfigured with writing that is
a disgrace to the school and commun-
ity, this is the fault of both teacher
and parents. We are proud to say
that is the condition in but a small
per cent of the rural schools of our
county.
Mothers, we want you to take spec
ial interest in cooperating with the
teachers and pupils in this "Clean
Up Day" for let us not forget that
the best crop in Iowa is not corn and
hogs, but boys and girls.
Very sincerely,
Ella M. Stearns, Co. Supt
