Every child. no matter how old he
may be. can easily find time to make
his home look better and more at
tractive by picking up all the sticks
or anything he may find that is of no
value. and pull up all the weeds. This
will help, If you cannot do anything
else.
If you should live near a vacant lot
do not let 1t be used as a dumping
place. but go to 1t. with some other
boys, and remove all the rubbish. Take
tin cans especially. because when
water stays in them the mosquitoes
love to make their homes in them. You
can send for the trash and garbage
men to remove ashes and trash. for
the government pays for it to be done.
When paper Is blowing around it does
not take much strength to pick 1t up
and put it In the waste-paper can.
At every hardware store you can buy
more cleanly and attractive by paint
ing the fences. chicken coops. and es-
pecially the house. Paint not only
adds to the looks of the house, but
decaying and increases the value OF
the property.
When a house is for sale a man
might go through the house and say.
This may be a good house, and 1t has
plenty of large rooms, but 1t does not
look very well on the outside. 1t needs
couple of coats of paint before l
would buy it, No one wants this said
about his house.
This is just the time of the year
when every one who likes outdoor life
would like to plant flower or vege-
table garden. If the front yard does
not get the sunlight 1T is best to plant
the flowers where the sun can SHINE
on them. 1t is great sport to get Out
in the garden and plant vegetables ana
tend them. Then, after everything mas
sprouted nicely, one can say: Il Ger
tainly am glad 1 tried to make my
home look better. and I did it by doing
what my little red. white ana oiue
button said" 4,
The result of this outdoor work Is
a clean. healthy and more ATTRACTIVE a
home Also. you have nice mower
and vegetable garden by obeying your
little button.

Chicago is preparing to care for a
record crowd at the republican national
convention, according to John H. Glenn,
member of the Chicago committee on
arrangements. who is here attending
the preparedness conference of Illinois
manufacturers He says that during
the three years he has been a member
of the committee he has never seen
such a demand for tickets and accom-
modations.
Mr.. Glenn says that while Chicago has
not paid much attention to the candi-
dates the impression seems to be THAT
the choice will be between Burton and
Weeks or Fairbanks. He thinks
Roosevelt or Hughes would have op-
position within the party to contend
against.
