Correspondence Seized Will Show
Who Aided Won Der Goltz in Sc
curing Passports BY Fraud-Will
Be Made Public Soon.

Washington.-A quantity Of CORE
spondence belonging to Horst Won der
Goltz, the alleged German spy, who
has said he was the directing head OF
the plan to blow up the Welland Ca
nal, has been seized by Scotland Yard
detectives and will be made public
shortly by the British foreign Office,
according to an announcement by De-
partment of Justice officials.
1t is understood that the corre-
spondence contains details of plans
to blow up the Welland Canal and Of
invasion of Canada from the United
States as well as to name persons in
the country hitherto unmentioned.
This correspondence it was said,
enabled the British authorities to OBJ
tain a full statement from Won der
Goltz as to his activities in the Unit
ed States. It is believed new details
of Won der Goltz's work in this coun-
try will be disclosed with the publica.
tion of the correspondence
Officials here also have been in
formed that the correspondence shows
who aided Won der Goltz in obtaining
an American passport in Baltimore
under the alias of Bridman Taylor and
that names of other persons who
might be called upon, if necessary, to
assist in obtaining other passports
probably will be disclosed.

Paint VIII XIII Germs.

Paint is one of the most sanitary
products on the market Hospitals,
hotels, schoolhouses and large build
ings are ever watchful for new means
of making their buildings more sani
tary. That is why they all use paint
or varnish. Why should you not be
just as particular in your home as
hospitals are?
Think Of these things when Clean
Up and Paint UP time comes.
If the housewife cleans house, why
shouldn't the town do the same? We
little realize what quantities Of rub
bish will accumulate in a short length
Of time. Carelessness is a disease and
is very contagious-the germs spread
rapidly and the most careful are sus-
ceptible to it, once 1t gets its start.
Don't let your neighbor do 1t all.
The people are the only ones who
can make a spotless town. II every
man would appoint himself commit.

CLEAN UP and PAINT Up

Few movements started in the Unit.

the originators OF this movement for
II is a good work and worthy OF the
support OF every man, woman and
child in the country.
There is only one poor feature in
regard to the movement and that Is
there are too many people who have
not sufficient pride to keep up their
property all the year. but wait for
clean up time to do years cleaning
and painting, the same as some peo.
pie wait for GO to church Sunday"
never thinking that they could "Clean
up" or go to church" at any other
time than that designated by the pro
moters of civic improvements.
Although the Clean Up and Paint Up
idea is still in its infancy, the move
ment has developed at a great rate
during the past four years. Yet there
are still many communities that would
profit by joining in this good work.
Ours is one of them.
Occasionally one meets q man who
says: 81 don't care whether the yard
is clean or the sheds painted, have
to live here and it suits me-" Such
man is wrong. 1t is not only an
obligation that he owes his city, but
it is an opportunity for him to show
his good citizenship as we'll Why not
declare war upon all Of the unsightly
things and use soap and paint as am

Importance Of Cleanliness.

The American people as whole are
lovers of beauty, whether natural or
artificial. The attractiveness Of homes
and yards is just as important as the
show places, such as the parks.
To make a truly beautiful town re-
quires the cooperation of every in
habitant, so when the Clean Up and
Paint Up week arrives in our town, do
not close your doors and sleep through
such a campaign.
The ways and means of promoting
this movement differ in every locality,
However, the fundamental requisites
of every campaign are similar. 1t re-
quires plenty of good soap and water,
and plenty of good paint. The paint
is essential and in buying your paint,
buy a paint that will hold its color,
stick to its job and preserve your
buildings.
Paint in its various forms, including
varnishes, stains, enamels, ETC., will
not only clean and beautify, but will
also preserve whatever it covers.
The first thing on your property
that is noticeable to the passer-by is
the fence If the fence appears SLOW
enly, it detracts from the general ap-
pearance of the entire place. BY u.s.
ing little bright paint you can make
it appear as good as new. But paint
alone will not suffice. The weeds and
high grass that always grow along the
base of a fence must be controlled.
When a person once sees how attrac-
tive his fence and lawn can be made
with so little work, he will continue
to take better care Of his property.
The same will apply to the sheds in
the back yard. If the shed is painted
and gives the appearance of being
neat and clean, you will want to keep
up your back yard in harmony with
the sheds
