Cleanup Week.

Once again let us remember that
this is Cleanup Week. and hat it
is the duty of each and every family
to see that their yards, both front
and back are free from anything
that may be dangerous to public
health or a source of annoyance to
their neighbors' sense Of smell or
sight. Let us be particularly careful
this year to "clean up" so that when
our city cousins visit us later in the
season there will be no cause for
complaint of the uhsanitary condi-
ton of our town. See that this is
done before the health officer comes
around.

and paint-up. The time for the New
England Cleanup and Paint-Up
Campaign was set by the National
Cleanup Campaign Convention to
be from May 1st to May 18th. In
any state paper we may pick up we
can readily see what other towns
and villages are doing along these
lines. The town expects some time
in August to celebrate an Old Home
Week and Chautauqua and we think
there is no better time than the pres
ent to paint up and clean up for this
event.

A large audience of about 300 at
tended the musical entertainment
given by the pupils of the convent
school Thursday, April 27. The pro
gram consisted of piano solos, duets,
triOs and quatuOrs which were rem
dered in a manner which speaks
very highly of the pupils and their
instructors. The Brighton Broom
Brigade, drill by sixteen boys, ac-
companied by a military marcn
played by f. Turgeon and 7. Guer-
tin was pleasing number of the
program. Special mention must be
made Of The Little Maids of Tim
buctoO," an action song by seven
little girls, Clara Parent, Bernadine
Stevens, Muriel Barrett, Leonie Du-
four, Irene Robin, Mabel and May
Haddad. accompanied by Margaret
May Maroney. The little girls were
daintily dressed in white, wearing
red, white and blue sashes, and car
ried fans and parasols Of ne same
color. This number was e4cored to
great extent and the audience
were somewhat disappointed that
time would not permit the little
girls to sing their song again. The
pantomime, a drill and tableau by
twelve girls carrying Easter lilies
and dressed in long white robes, the
last tableau Of which was illuminat-
ed by red fuses at each end of the
stage making it very fitting mum.

Refuse during the winter months
las been dumped in the back yards
and been allowed to stay up to the
present time, This is not only un-
slightly but unhealthy. Little good
does it do to clean the main thor
oughfares if this refuse is left stand
ing to be distributed over the streets
by winds. Not only does this refuse
and paper come from the back yards
but from people who have little or
no public spirit and civic pride in
our community. We have observed
people receiving mail matter. per-
haps in circular advertising form,
and calmly walk out of the post
office and throw it into the street.
We realize and also receive much of
this cheap advertising in our own
mail, but the point that we wish to
get at is that it would be just as con-
venient for people to place this mat
ter in their pockets and destroy it or
burn 1t on their arrival home, and
! thus save such an unsightly condi-
tion as that which prevails in and
around our postoffice. Several weeks

AGREE ON TERMS OF PACT.
Washington and Mexican Officials in
Accord Over New Protocol.


Washington, March PA draft of
the protocol asked for by General Car
rama to govern the operations of the
American expedition in Mexico seek
ing Villa was agreed upon on Wednes-
day by acting Secretary Polk and Eli
SEQ Arredondo, Mexican ambassador
designate. 1t was forwarded at once
to Carranza for approval and is ex-
pected to be in effect within few
days.
Details of the proposed convention
will be withheld until 1t is signed. 1t
is known, however, that it is designed
to minimize the possibility of misun-
derstandings between the two govern
ments by setting forth the rights of
each in the extraordinary circum-
stances existing and prescribing as far
as possible the methods of cooperation
to be pursued by the Mexican and
American troops in pursuit of the out
laws
Although the de facto government
sought the protocol, it's terms are en-
tirely in accord with the views of the
United States and no difficulty was
experienced by Mr. Polk and Mr. Ar
redondo in preparing it.
