LET'S BE NEIGHBORLY
Spotless Town Means Happier
 and Healthier People.
We Should @clean Up and Paint Upv This Community at Once to
 Protect Our Families.

N NIEIGHBORHOOD improvement is ' home improvement multiplied. It is the sum of all the efforts made to make houses look attractive and beau tiful
 Neighborhood improvement illus trate5 the influence of a good deed well done. On a dingy street one householder starts to improve the ap- pearance of his home. He keeps yard and house spick and span He paints his house, fences and outbuildings. He plants grass, flowers and shrubbery. Soon his neighbors notice the im- provement. They begin to clean up, paint up and green up. Within a few months the street is transformed.
 It not only looks better, but it is better. People are happier and more neighborly. Property values have in- creased. Neighborhood improvement has worked before and after" change that is really wonderful
 One of the modern poets has been inspired by neighborhood improve ment work in his own town to ex- press himself in the following Ian guage:
 Little beds of flowers.
 Little cans of paint,
 Make attractive neighborhoods
 Out of those that aint
 Tn many villages, towns and cities Clean Up and Paint Up effort has be- come popular in recent years. The im- mediate results have been marked improvement in the appearance of the places in which they have been at tempted
 In certain western town one of the residence streets with row of about fifteen houses was the shame of all the public-spirited citizens. Houses were greatly in need of repairs and paint. They looked bad and they kept looking worse every year. Finally one of the good citizens got an idea He went to the owner of the house in the middle of the block.
 q want to make you proposition" he said of you will permit me will give you. without cost, all the paint necessary to paint your house if you will do the work"
 The owner accepted the proposition and later the paint was delivered. The philanthropist exacted the promise that the owner would not tell any of his neighbors that the paint was a gift.
 Tn the course of time the house was painted and the effect was marvellous to behold. Like new house it stood among it's dfngy neighbors as conspi- cuous as fairy in a minstrel show. The owners of the other houses no- ticed the contrast. They saw how miserably poor the newly painted house made theirs look. One after the other they went to the stores and ordered paint During that season ev- cry one of the fifteen houses was painted and the premises cleaned and the street became one of the best look ing in town.
 That is what was accomplished when one man started to improve his home. If whole neighboThoods, street 1 by street, should start to improve in our town what q tremendous difference l it would make in the appearance of 1 this community. Let's get together and try it.

reason why we failed to have a

so much real enthusiasm from

we hesitated to leave him to the
