Notice of Annual
Clean Up Day

The City Commissioners have desig-
mated Wednesday, May 23rd. 1917. as
Annual Cleanup day for the City of
Delta. This date is one month later
than former years, which is due to
the lateness of the season.
Cleanup day has become day
looked forward to as set apart to i'm
prove, beautify and to make our City
a more attractive place in which to
live. Aside from the pleasure and
comfort we enjoy in having our streets
and alleys free from trash-the one
item alone of lessening the danger of
fire is worth much more to the city
than the expense of Cleanup day.
we~have not had fire in our city
since June 29th. 1916. Do you realize
what this means to you, Mr.. Business
Man?
This is only one of the important
features of the benefit we derive from
Cleanup day. Dr. Ross Whitman.
representing University extension
work during the Community Welfare
conference tried to create in the peo-
pies mind very false impression by
stating that the city only spent two
and one-fourth per cent of its revenue
in the conservation of the health of
its citizens. While the expense of
taking care of the city's stock was
forty-two and one-half per cent. His
figures were not only ERRONEOUS but
his statements were misleading.
The facts in the case are these, one
and one-quarter per cent is the amount
spent in the registration of births and
deaths and looking after what few
contagious diseases We have had.
While the expense of taking care of
our city stock is about two per cent.
This city stock will be on hand on
Cleanup day and for days following
doing their bit toward making our city
Sanitary and promoting health condi-
tions generally.
The purpose Of Cleanup day has
been brought to the attention of the
citizens so often that it is not neces-
sary to outline every particular thing
that is to be DONE but we ask the CO.
operation of every man. woman and
child. Boy Scouts. clubs. churches and
schools.
We would particularly call the at.
tention -of business men to see that
all rubbish is removed from base
ments and around their places OF bust
ness. People having stock are re-
Quested to clean up all barn yards,
stables and fly breeding places. and
by so doing eliminate chances for
spreading disease. While showing our
patriotism. in war let us also show
on rpatriotism at home and all do
our best to make this Clean-Up day
the best and most effectual Clean-Up
day Delta has ever had.
! would recommend that all waste
paper and trash possible be burned in
Your furnace and stoves.
Did YOU ever stop to think who is
responsible for all the trash that ac-
cumulates in our streets and alleys? /?
Some one is. Are you one that con-
tributes to this accumulation
A little care and attention along
this line by every individual citizen
will do wonders in preventing the &C,
cumulation OF trash

WOMAN KNOWN ONLY
As III" REVEALED IN
PLOTTING OF GERMANS

San Francisco, Dec, 27.-A woman
designated only as H. and said TO
be prominent in the German secret
service, directed the activities of
Franz Schulenberg, alleged master spy
held here on a presidential warrant,
according to information divuiged to
day by Federal officials. Schulenberg
is said to have been active in plans
to destroy bridges and public build
ings in Canada and shipping and
warehouses in Pacific ports. officials
said the woman barely escaped arrest
here four weeks ago, the day before
Schulenberg was captured. The clue
to her part in Schulenberg's opera
tons was revealed in g. letter found
among his effects. Investigation
showed, officials said, that the woman
had been an agent Of Wolf Won Isal.
former secretary OF Franz Won Papen.
military attache of the German en-
bassy at Washington, and alleged
head of the German espionage syStem
in this country. She was described
as a person Of birth and education, a
brunette, thirty-five years old.
According to federal officials tho
woman sent Schulenberg to the Unit
ed States in 1914 for the alleged pur-
pose of assisting IN the maintenance
of contraband wireless stations sup
ported by the German government for
the purpose of gaining military In
formation and transmitting it to Ber-
lin.
Further revelations concerning
Schulenberg's activities disclosed to-
day showed that in February, 1918, he
inserted an advertisement in Spokane,
Washington, newspapers looking to
the purchase of a. tract Of land on
which to colonize several hundred
Spanish families. These families.
federal officials said were Hindus and
purpose Of their colonization was to
permit them easy entrance into Can
ada where they were to obtain mill
tary information and facts concern
ing the movements Of Canadian yes
sells to assist in raider warfare con-
Quoted in the Pacific ocean by tbs
Germans The colonization plan did
not materialize.
Some OF Schulenbergs activities ac-
cording to the authorities, have been
traced to Ram Chambra, a HINDU on
trial here with thirty other persons
charged with attempting to foman< q
revolt against British rule in India.
Ram Chambra made several pag .
ments OF money to Schulenberg Of
ficials said.
Schulenberg, according to federal
officials. was a dessrter from the Ger
man army and was actuated only by
the hope Of financial gain. They said
he would not admit his connection With
the woman agent

LOCAL LAUNDR|ES
GIVE COOPERATION

Cooperating with the directors of
the National Association of Overs and
Cleaners, in their movement for Ma
tional School Childrens Dry Cleaning
week, the Empire Laundry and Dry
Cleaning plant, has consented to their
request to dry clean the garments of
all needy school children free of
charge and the garments of children
of enlisted men and other families
at actual cost, between now and De
Cemher 31St.
This move was decided upon by
the National Association at their
meeting in ST. Louis on Decembe
nth. after due elaboration on the
school children and how reduce them
to a minimum It is based on the fact
that disease is much more prevalent
in the second half of the school ses-
sion than any other time: that such
diseases as measles, whooping cough,
mumps. etc, that are contagious, are
very easily transmitted in wearing
APPAREL; and that such contagion could
be reduced to a minimum by the
proper cleaning of all garments be-
fore the children re-entered school.
The enormous drain, made by the
war on the number of physicians
and nurses is one Of the reasons CIV
en- for this movement They believe.
according to their board of directors,
that the lessening of contagious dis
eases among children, even in a small
degree, will be of material assistance.

For then my thoughts-from far where

Save that my souls Imaginary sight
