CLEANING UP TIME

BY common consent spring is the time
for clean up campaigns. Even disorder
-ly person has spasms Of neatness at this
period. He may not care much for order
himself, but is shamed into it by the &C.
tivity of the neighbOrhood. It is time for
everyone to take hold and have general
scrubbing.
Dead vegetation litters up a place, and
the most beautiful grounds become squat
id and slovenly unless constantly kept
up. Weather and smoke and dust make
out buildings and fences look dingier ev-
cry year, fences rot and fall, and untidy
heaps Of ashes accumulate. H.
Labor is scarce and high nowadays,
and it is not so easy to find men to take
hold and clean up place as formerly.
People will have to do these things more
for themselves, The boys and girls that
have spent all the time skylarking will
have to take little Of their time to help.
They should have their little tasks about
the place. If they would 90 over it every
few weeks and pick up litter and remove
disorder, it would not accumulate so that
clean up scrimmages would be needed.
A well kept neighborhood is neigh
borhood Of good real estate values. If the
walks are neatly trimmed, weeds and
leaves raked out and kept out of walks
and drives, and all refuse rigidly kept
down Q row of houses looks so per cent
better. It gives the appearance Of a
neighborhood Of refined, educated, and
cultivated people, who have self respect
and standards Of living.
Conversely, neighborhood where lit
ter abounds is very poor one to own a
house in. Values are always shrinking.
1t is business proposition to keep up
your home neighborhood and your home
city.

GERMAN SPY MENACE

Some Of our complacent people have
come to feel rather satisfied about the
situation on the German spy menace. Not
many munition plants have been blown
up lately. There has not been such an
epidemic of incendiary fires. It looked
as If the plotters had been rounded up by
our vigilant secret service, and as If the
arrogant German hopes Of holding up our
war activity are once more beaten.
View too sure. It is simply that q
new style Of spying has been evolved, and
one Tar more dangerous. Apparently the
potato warehouse burners and bomb
plotters have been called in. There is a
bigger game for them to play.
The up to the minute style Of spying is
to work your way into war work fac
tory, and create defects in the product.
So now we hear that the airplanes were
delayed two months by spies who cut out
sections Of steel and substituted lead, 80
that the frame Of the plane would col
lapse under strain. Also gas masks are
said to have been defective for similar
causes.
All those forms Of "Kultur" will but
make the American people one degree.
madden, and more determined to put
their foot on the Kaiser's neck. It was
noted about simultaneously with these
reports that q number Of ro-Germans
J, had been tarred and fcathered and duck
ed in canals, etc. That is refreshing, but
merely incidental.
1t is time to get these spies. And also
to do something more than treat them as
honored guests in internment camps.
Furthermore the war work plants
should be raked with fine tooth comb
to get disloyal people out. We cannot
trust them moment. We must be sure
of all our war workers. We have been
too slow. We the Americans who pride
ourselves on our alertness, have been
strangely befooled by the supposedly
phlegmatic German. It is time to get busy
and come down on this thing as il we
meant business.

Raise The Limit Uncle Sam
BY william M. Greasy

I've come to the conclusion
This war is not run right ~
Else why do they send all young men
Across the pond to fight!
Why mot let u fellows in It.
Us fellows Of forty or more,
And let US put on the khaki
The same a. we did before?
Perhaps we're not strictly in training;
And are wearing our bustles in front;
But we can eliminate that
With little training stunt.
And what II our legs are shaky
From the training we haven't done!
Legs are no use In battle!
Soldiers don't want to run.
And perhaps we're little far-sghted.
But that's good thing today.
When the fellows that you're shooting at
Are eight or ten miles away.
So don't take all our youngsters
To put ON the finishing touch. \
But take along some Of 10 old boys.
Who won't be missed so much.
supposins We lose An eye or an ear.
Or an arm or leg or two;
How we'd show the stubs around the clubs
And lie about II to you.
And IL perchance. Somewhere in France"
The end should come some day;

Humanity and Efficiency
Both kindIe the Red Star

1t is estimated that the United States
Will need million horses and mules
year in her war operations. And
transport carries only from 700 to 900
animals at a time. Hence, the problem
of keeping the horses and mules in good
condition from the time they are land
ed in France of giving the best pos
sibe medical and nursing attention to
sick or wounded animals is of vital i'm
portance.
If a wounded horse belonging to the
American army dies for lack of care,
for need of veterinary or for want of
medicine or because there is no means
by which he can be carried back of the
firing line and put in the hospital, it
means that another fresh horse must be
sent 5000 miles over the ocean to take
his place. But if the wounded or she'll
