CLEAN Up!

Saturday is clean up" day in East
Chicago. Not that it is expected that
the city will be completely renovated
within twenty-four hours. but to start
the movement and to give it impetus
that day is set aside by proclamation
from the mayor in order that the ball
may be set a-rolling and a campaign
opened.
The city has been invited to accept
the cooperation of the National Clean
Up and Paint Up Campaign Bureau
whose headquarters are located at St.
Louis, Mo.
In May 1912. A. W Clark. publisher
of a trade paper in St. Louis, proposed
the idea of having a national clean up
and paint up campaign. 1t was tried
out and proved a success and has now
grown into really national movement.
Last year the national bureau co-operat-

The idea is to have the city set aside
a definite period for starting general

FROM CHINA
COMING

When DR.. ii. L. Willett OF the Uni
versity of Chicago. spoke here before
The Departmental club he mentioned
the name of DR.. L. l. Osgood OF Gnu
Chow, China. and described the work
DR.. Osgood has accomplished in China
DR.. Osgood is at present staying in
Chicago and has kindly consented to
visit Gary and speak at the Central
Christian church on the evening Of
May 6.
DR.. Osgood went to China In 1898
and has labored SO efficiently there
that he has made himself an envia BILE
place in the hearts of the Chinese who
know him. In the Chinese revolution
the victorious revolutionary army was
advancing toward Chu Chow intent on
plundering it DR.. Osgood went out
to meet 1t and conferred with the gen
erals in command On the strength OF
his wears of unselfish service ne per-
suaded them not only TO abandon their
plans of plumber but to make a de-
tour Of the city. Few men have ever
had such a remarkable testimony Of
esteem.
Dr. Osgood has been an important
coun selor of the Chinese since then.
They have great confidence in him be-
cause he has always stood for the
good of the community and has led in
the advance of civic righteousness in
the city or Chu Chow After the Re-
public of China was established he was

two patriotic songs which were en-

David Boone OF Hammond as the
speaker of the evening. delivered an ad-
dress that was masterpiece. filled with
the fires of patriotism and love of conn
try. He lauded the young boys for their
love Of country and their mothers and
fathers for their self sacrifice in giving
them up. Boone's speech brought the
tears to many dry eye in the audience.
Following the Hammond mans speech
flags were presented to the soldier boys
by Prof Painter Of the Crown Point
high school. John Brown of the Grand
Army and Cyrus Hayden. who presented
each soldier with a silver embossed
American flag. from the people of
Crown Point through their representa-
tive in the city council. Following the
singing of America and the benediction
by Rev Billman the crowd dispersed
with an unforgettable memory of an oc-
casion that will lnger in their recolIec-
tions long after the smoke of battle is
cleared away. It was fitting tribute
to the soldier boys who Will represent

During the exercises Mrs H. II.
Wheeler made plea for contribution to
the local Red Cross and from the temp
err of the big audience last evening it is
safe to say that the Red Cross organiza-
ton will fare well at Crown Point.
After the patriotic rally at the Crown

were unstinted in their efforts to make
the affair a success, too many in fact to

Throughout the British dominion and
in France and Italy there is a complete
understanding of the fact that the en-

important event in the war since August
1914. I am sure our government under

the allies would be disastrous. They
know too that in any case truth and the
