officials.

other spots about the city were put
in apple pie order several days be-
fore May arrived. the final day
first agreed upon. Others were
busy at the work on Cleanup Day"
last Tuesday, and others have plans
for doing this work.
The movement met with alhearty
response and the city shows the re-
suits. The committee will meet
later and agree upon a final date Of
inspection, and meanwhile teams
will be engaged to haul away trash
at nominal charge. 1t is expected
that by June l Washburn will have
cleaner face and be in more order

and vacant lots, than ever before in
her history.
The committee through it's chair
man, desires to thank those who re-
sponded so promptly and cheerfully
and to say to them and others that
when the inspections take place, all
who have failed will have their
nronertv cleaned at their exDense.
Not many will have to pay it is

actions with those of Napoleon. 1t was a great privilege for this young fellow
from the city to receive personal instruction from the general of the whole
works.
That was the way al. the officers thought, Al they watched the general
