FOR A WATER WORKS
COMMISSION.

To the Editor of the Democrat: [ am
very much pleased to note the interest
that has been taken in my article re-
Gently published in your paper with
reference to the formation of water
works commission.
Another citizen has brought forth the
proposition Of general commission
form of government for the city.
While | heartily approve Of this plan it
is a matter that should become thor
oughly familiar with, and have a desire
for, this change and hope that articles
will be published in your paper along
this line.
To change to a commission form OF
government. however, would require
practically one years time, as petition
would have to be circulated, and
signed, by large percentage of the
voters. This petition would have to be
presented to the council and an election
held before the change could be made,
whereas the appointment of water
works commission could be taken up at
once by the mayor and council and in
view of the fact that extensive changes
and improvements will be made in the
very near future to the water works
system it seems to me that this step
should be taken at once.
[ would therefore recommend that
the newly elected mayor give this mat
ter very serious consideration and APP
point a suitable water works commits
sion.
A few days ago ] had the pleasure of
examining the records and reports of
the committee in charge Of the Munici
pal theatre. These are exceptionally
we'll kept and show clearly every detail,
the amount Of money received and spent
for each show. Nothing has been left
to guess work. The committee have a
clear and concise record Of costs Of
every kind and an audit Of the accounts
could be made in very short time.
The accounts of the water works de-
partment should be equally we'll kept
so that the men in charge would know
the cost Of extensions, the cost Of
pumping or any other items, in fact the
whole system should be on an up to
date business basis. f. c.. LUDDEN.

PEG O. MY HEART

Perhaps the best of the numerous
great achievements of the Municipal
Theatre Committee is the bringing Of
that most delightful and wholesome
play peg o. My Heart" to Mineral
Point for Saturday, April 80. The COM
pany is one of the best, if not the best,
that has ever produced the play, and
has played with great success, with just
the same cast, in Boston, San Francis
co, Spokane, Seattle. st. Paul and
Minneapolis. Miss Martin, who is an
nOunced in the title role is unexcelled.
There will be two performances, at
2:30 p. m. and S:15.
THE MATINEE
is given to accommodate the people g
the community not able to attend at
night.
The good story of Peg was published
in The Democrat last year; and doubt
less the many who read it with interest
will avail themselves of the opportunity
to see it portrayed with great dramatic
force and accu acy.

CLEANUP WEEK.

To the Editor of The Democrat: A
city is as attractive and clean as it's
people make it, 1t cannot rise above
the level Of its citizens. If you do not
keep your city clean, you confess to
unclean individual homes. AS a
woman liveth so is her home city. If
you believe in your city and have testi-
fed to this belief by investing in prop
erty or business venture, increase
your property values and your inc ome
by demanding a clean city.
Remember that committee however
we'll organized, cannot keep city
clean. Neither can you depend on an
efficient Board of Health or sanitary
laws 1t takes concerted action, com
munty pride Of all classes, in all sec
tions of the city, to bring about muni-
cipal cleanliness. Where fear of law
fails to achieve results, a sincere desire
to make the whole town clean, will do
the work. While you at it, just re
member that it isn't enough to be clean
yourself and in your own home. 1t is
the cleanliness Of the neighbOrs that
counts in the ultimate result. The flies
that breed in your neighbor's open
garbage pail, in the dirty alley behind
the grocery store, in the refuse pile of a
livery stable on the other side Of town,
Wi Of int
own home. Some one else's damp eel
lar or seeping cess pool or germ infect
ed moving picture theatre can start an
epidemic which the sanitation of your
home cannot overcome.
Clean up week is getting popular in
America, because it means getting to-
gether in the interest of sanitation,
good health, and an attractive, livable
city, and it is about time it did.
Make Cleanup Week popular and
fashionable. Set every body talking
about it. Hold meetings and preach
the gospel that it costs less to be
clean than to be sick. Wherever Uncle
Sans soldiers have gone in the tropics
Cuba, Mexico, Panama, the Philippines,
they have cleaned up first. They have
lived sanitation and have commanded
respect. The German soldiers have
done the same thing in the present ter
rible war, improving sanitary condi-
tions in towns and hamlets, through
force of habit. A United States soldier
knows that there must be proper drain
age and pure water. He carries them
into a city along with the Stars and
Stripes The German soldier knows
that on the streets of Berlin no self

DOCUMENTS PRESERVED
BY SCIENTIFIC METHOD

To repair and preserve manuscripts,
old letters, and other historical docu
ments, the Wisconsin Historical library
at Madison now regularly employs a
man who has made an art of the work.
There are not fifty other persons in the
country skilled in preserving manu-
scripts, and the Wisconsin library is
one Of six or seven American institu
tions that do the work scientifically.
Until last July, when the process was
introduced in Madison, none Of this work
of scientific grade, was done l.. this
country west of the Alleghenies, and
all the university's work was sent to
Massachusetts. The process employed
is one that was invented by priest in
the vatican library at Rome, about d
generation ago.
Work is now being done on the
letters of Moses NJ Strong, d lawyer
and politician prominent in Wisconsin
from 1886 to 1870 and d member Of
both the territorial and state legis
latures as we'll as Of the constitutional
convention. He was one Of the pro
moters Of early railroads in the state
and author Of "A History Of WiscOn-
sin" His letters deal with all kinds
OF subjects and business as far back as

GRAFTON in Clean Up Week.
Organize into effective and congenial
committees ard you will be able to
clean up the markets, schools, churches,
theatres and dairies. Appointing
children or juvenile committees will
create a demand for civic sanitation.
The first step is to create desire for
general sanitation, cleanliness and
beauty in your city. The second is to
work together democratically, tactfully
all through Clean Up Week and keep
at it. Every week ought to be clean up
week. Clean Up Week represents the
best investment of energy American
home makers can make. 1t stands for
healthier families, happier homes,
higher real estate values and better
citizenship. CITIZEN.
