Injuries Received When Log
Falls Striking Him on Head.

pico farmer, passed away at the Dea-

for him, he never regained conscious
ness.
The funeral was held from the

get READY FOR
CLEANUP WEEK
Make This Years Clean.Up
Campaign Biggest Success of
All. Mobilize Your Rake,
Hoe and Paint Brush.
CITY PLANS TO COOPERATE IN WORK
{ Citizens Urged to Help Make Glas-
gov Model City of Cleanliness.
Prevent Criticism of City by
Aiding in the Campaign.

Mayor Murray has requested that
the citizens Of Glasgow use every
effort to make the city Clean Up and
Paint Up week a big success. Only
by the hearty cooperation Of every
one can campaign of this kind bring
the desired results. One clean yard
next to one filled with filth, does not
help nearly as much as universally
clean yards all over the city.
Glasgow's vacant lots covered with
foul weeds have always been an eye
sore to the visitor and the public spir-
tied citizen. A few hours spent on
any one Of these lots will convert it
into most profitable thrift garden.
You must have a thrift garden this
year and why not make use of that
vacant lot?
1t has been estimated by authori-
ties on gardening and production that
backyard thrift garden, 25x50 feet,
will supply family of six with an
abundance of fresh vegetables, suffi-
cient to supply all needs, through the
season, if judiciously planted and CIV
en- the proper care.
The vegetable garden department of
the Missouri botanical garden,
through experimental gardens and
careful study and investigation, find
that plot of ground 25x50 feet can
be made to yield vegetables in cash
value of S100 a season, and not less
than $50, if planting is carefully plan
ned, so that the soil is in continued
use and properly nourished by fer
tilization and cultivation. The est
mated cost for the best seeds neces-
sary for planting such a plot is s.,
while the cost of fertilizer for the
poorest soil even in city thrift gar
den should not exceed IS the season.
In planting one of these gardens
you are helping do your bit in a
patriotic way
There is no necessity to wait until
the opening of the clean up week to
start your spring cleaning. Set the
mark for your neighbors by having
you cleaning all done before the open
ing of the campaign. Let us all Join
in helping to make Glasgow cleaner,
healthier, and prettier place in which
to live.

FARMERS URGED TO Use
EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
Those Needing Help May Leave
Application at Chamber
of Commerce.

The free employment bureau of the
Glasgow chamber of commerce and
agriculture was established for the
purpose of aiding the farmer and the
fellow who wanted job on the farm,
in other words it is the place where
the farmer and the farm hand are
brought together.
If the farmers of Valley county
need help, they should not hesitate to
place their call with the bureau and
farm hands should register their
names and places they can be found,
so that when the call comes, they may
be supplied with the opportunity to
be of assistance without delay.
This branch of the chamber for 10
months last year placed over 1000
men on jobs at no cost whatever to
the employee or the employer, and if

mettle," said Governor Stewart, "and
