THERE'S WORK FOR
ALL In THIS CAMPAIGN
CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP
Women Can Take a Leading Part
in This Movement for Beau
tiful, Sanitary and Safe
Home Towns.
By LOUISE KEEPER. Chairman Civic
Committee. Ohio Federation
Of Women's Clubs


VYYOMEN are housekeepers. They
:" are apt to see more clearly the
need of municipal housekeeping
than are men, Through our clubs we
have an excellent opportunity to lead
IN Clean Up and Paint Up" work. Here
are some pointers for women who
nifty with a real Clean UP and Paint
Up campaign:
Each campaign involves the renova-
ton of the interiors of buildings as
well as yards, streets and alleys.
The removal of all rubbish and USE
less things is most important
Some revenue can be derived from
the sale of waste paper.
During the Clean Up and Paint Up
campaign is a good time to have rub
bfsh cans placed upon street corners,
for the deposit of paper.
Nothing will do more to improve the
appearance of a town than the liberal
use of paint
Useless and unsightly outbuildings
should be torn down.
Business houses need attention. Rub
bfsh accumulates in cellars, under
stairways, in storerooms, passageways,
rants. Look out for RATS here
A clean yard is not sufficient; it
should be pleasing to the eye. Plant
grass and flower seeds. Sod bare spots
in lawns. Plant shrubs, vines and
trees.
The thTesholds of q town should be
made inviting to the visitor.
This is q good time to find out about
the sanitary ordinances of the town.
How about the regulations in regard
to garbage collection, the use OF closed
garbage cans, manure piles. splitting,
toilets, etc-2 Are they adequate? Are
they enforced? Appoint a committee
on this subject Have the ordinance
published and distributed widely.
1t is very important that the Clean
Up and Paint Up idea be impressed
upon the minds OF school children

Special to Times-Republican.
Iowa Falls, April 5.-Editor Ira A.
Nichols, of the Hardin County Citizen.
announced today that he would seek
the republican nomination for repre-
weeks ago. at a mass meeting in this
city. Mr. Nichols was the unanimous
choice for this office and was urged
to seek the nomination at the coming
primery He took the matter under
Amusement and announced his decision
today. He probably will have no OPP
position for the nomination. In re-
spending to the wishes of his constitIf
ents in this part OF the county. il is
clear tina; Mr.. Nichols is in no wise
an office seeker and will not pose as
such. this being a case-of the office
seeking the man-rather than the man
seeking the office. Backing Mr.. Nichols
for this position will be 900 votes in
this city and about 200 in the town
ship adjacent to the city. II is reason
ably certain that Mr Nichols will come
as near polling the entire strength OF
the city and township as any man IN
Hardin county.
Iowa Falls is asking for very little
this year in the way Of county Offices
and this fact will probably concede the
nomination to Mr.. Nichols. The press
of the county with possibly one or two
exceptions viii support Mr. Nichols
candidacy. He is the first editor in
the history OF the county 10 seek seat
