CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP
Let's Make Our Town Attractive,
Sanitary and Safe.
An editorial by BRUCE BARTON
in Every Week"

HAVE in mind two towns. Enter
ing one, the railroad runs between
4 two rows of dirty back yards filled
with tin cans and rubbish. Entering |
the other, it passes houses neatly
Y painted, back yards with flowers in
them, and streets swept clean.
These two towns had the same pop |
ulation five years ago. But recently |
two new factories have moved to one |
of them; real estate values have ad-
vanced new houses are being built;
everybody is prosperous and happy
And the residents of the other town
cannot understand their bad luck"
A real Clean Up and Paint Up"
campaign would have taken the bad
luck" town out of its rut.
This year more than 5000 cities1
and towns in the United States are
conducting Clean Up and Paint Up
campaigns.
Many men and women so through
life without ever doing anything for
their community. Clean Up and
Paint Up offers you your chance.
The greatest miracles OF modern
times have been performed with bon
fires, drain pipes, soap and paint.
The Philippines have been made a
healthier place to live in than the
average American town. Typhoid has
been stamped out Of Serbia. The
Panama Canal zone has been trans
formed from a dismal unhealthy
swamp to a wholesome place for
homes.
Last year Cleveland, in it's Clean
Up and Paint Up" campaign, disposed
of refuse sufficient to fill train three
and one-half miles long.
Another middle western town gath
cred it's boys together, and, by offer
ing a reward for each 100 tin cans,
abolished it's unsightly back yards
in a single day.
There is no better test Of the civil
lization of community than this
How much paint does it use?"
A wise man said that.
1t is not given to you to found ;
religion or make a great invention o.
discover a new continent.
But you can make your town ;
cleaner, better place to live in. Ant
by so doing you give little push t
the chariot Of civilization.

GREATER THAN FIRE LOSS"
y Bx PROF. H. II. KING

bEfhOf. II. -. KIM sae W
kanses state Agricultural Collage.
n ACK OF paint causes a great.
er annual loss through de-
terioration than the aggrei
gate Kansas fire loss for Twelve
months. Yes, there is much
more reason for a real "Clean
Up and Paint Up campaign
than the average layman would
at first recognize.
Paint, as has often been said,
serves more than the mere pur-
pose Of decoration. It's principal
value lies in theIfact that it pro-
longs the life of the surfaces
painted. ).-4
X Wood and iron, on exposure
to the air, undergo q slow proc
ess of oxidation, which just as
surely destroys them as though
they were set on fire, the off
ference being the speed at which
the reaction occurs
We take out insurance to COW
er loss by fire and should just as
surely put on paint to cover loss
by decay. 1t takes very little
calculation to discover the ap-
parently astounding fact that
the loss through lack Of paint
ing is greater in Kansas than
the loss by fire.
When the property owner
comes to a full realization of the
true reason for painting there
will be no need for public-splr-
tied people to back up a Ma
tional Campaign for such a pur-
pose.

Funeral service were held in the

earth and spoke words of encour-

and friends. The meeting house
was well crowded with sympath-

Preparedness and
Peace.

While the preparedness bill has
been marching on the way thro.
ugh the two houses Of Congress
there has been a real demand
upon Washington for sensible
action in the interest of peace.
Former President Taft has spent
several days at the Capital in
attendance at peace gathering.
Senator Lewis is among the lat
est to present resolution to
Congress asking that the Presid.
ent suggest neutral tribunal.
There are number ofresolutions
before the House and Senate
which are intended to act in the
interests OF peace. However,
these have been on the side-track
Tor many months, but there is
probability that international
conditions have so changed that
there will be some illumina ton
speeches in Congress concerning
the attitude of our government
toward the European war, and
the brush we are having with
Mexico.

to bring about a do-nothing

recall does not conduce to eflicien-
