The Cleanup by Persuasion.

Speaking of Cleanup Day in Ben
ton, some Easton newspaper has pub
lished the figures collected from the re-
cruiting stations of Europe and America
to show the relative healthfulness of the
nations. The figures are official. This
newspaper has found that in England
only 40 per cent-o the young men pre-
senting themselves for enlistment in the
army are physically fit for military duty.
American army records show that go per
cent of the young Americans who wish
to enter the army are fit to do military
duty. Germany has found that 80 per
cent of her men can go to the front and
do good service.
In Germany the people are required
by law to clean up their premises, keep
them clean and otherwise observe the
laws of health. Her 80 per cent of eff
cheney is standing her in good stead'just
at the present time. In America there
is great initiative inherent in the indi-
vidual and large public spirit to do the
right thing, which has given us our 60
per cent of efficiency. In England every
fellow who is able looks out way for
himself, and neither the government or
the neighbors care hang whether the
other fraction of the rising generation
enjoys good or bad health. The result
is that only four in ten of England IS
sons are able to fight England's battles.
We have no Kaiser in America to order
Benton to burn the trash, cut the weeds,
scatter lime, put oil on the mosquito
ponds, and get ready for the hot months
The ladies of this town will have to Gre
ate the public sentiment for such move
if Cleanup Day is to occur here. A
clean town will multiply the days Of the
old and save the lives of the young. II
can all be done in one day. Every citi-
zen can get busy with his rake and other
tools and, besides promoting the health
OF his family and the self respect of the
community, get little healthful exer-
cise., --sn = 49SFz
The, Banner suggests that some of the
ladies' clubs take the matter up ani
issue their orders. Nobody in male at.
tire would dare to disobey.
