<"Clean up and paint up!"
Don't you hear the call?
Indoors and outdoors
Work for each and ALL
Clean house-and paint house.
White or brown or red;

And paint up the shed:
Burn the alley rubbish;
Send the tin can hence
After that-the thought Is richl-
Fix that alley fence!
"Clean Up and Paint Up the Nation
al Capital |" shouted a Washington
newspaper in type that was spread all
over the top of a page, just a few days
after Congress accepted Germany's
gage of war. "Washington begins its
spring cleaning and painting cam
paign," added the same journal, in type
somewhat more subdued in tone. All
Washington heard the call and needed.
1t was the national capitals call to
arms. Everybody volunteered. There
was no age limit in either direction.
Nobody was rejected because OF defec-
tive teeth, ingrowing %toe-nails, strabis-
mus or housemaid's knee. The big army
modified overnight. 1t armed Itself
broomsticks in hand. brushes ditto,
scrub-cloths, soap, water, rakes, paint
cans and bucketsl
No Lack of Preparedness.
Washington did not get its orders
from the White House or from the big
building under the gilded dome at the
top of Pennsylvania avenue. The ma
TONS capital took its u for this
campaign from d middle Western city
st. Louis, headquarters of the Nation
al Clean Up and Paint Up Campaign
bureau. There IA no lack OF prepar-
edness, for the bureau had been In OPP
Grafton five years. 1t was simply a call
to mobilization. A similar mobiliza-
ton of local forces is taking place
right now in thousands of other COM
munities throughout the land-to pro-
mote cleanliness, loneliness, cheeri-
ness and conservation.
. This American national campaign
is an annual affair. 1t may be called
perennial, for somewhere 1t is going
on all the time. According to climate,
weather., local cOnultlOuS IL Is coutloi-
led and carried on 1t is a modern cru
SADIE, Hometown being the Holy City
and every good citizen being a Rich
ard Occur de Leon, a non-hearted
knight armed cap-a-pie with a rake
and ~paintbrush, mop and yarnish can.
There Are Many Advantages.
Through this nationwide movement
health is being conserved, the sick
list is being shortened, the death rate
is being lowered. Through it the
owners of city and town property are
getting lower rates of insurance, for
it is a ir%e-prevention propaganda as
well as a crusade against dirt and d.
sease. Property values are increased
by this salutary work. Dwellings and
apartments and flats which are made
and kept clean and vanished and
painted to spick-and-span effect sell or
rent more readily than when left un-
tidy and going to wrack and ruin.

Red Crosss Delinquents

On behalf of those who had charge of
the Red Cross subscriptions in this
township and Thetford, we are request
ed to state that many OF these subscrip-
tions. especially those given to Clio
teams, remain unpaid 1t is said that
the Thetford subscriptions have been
paid with the exception of about $50. 90,
while those of Clio are in very much
worse shape. 1t should be unnecessary
for us to make any lengthy appeal in
this matter. The Red Cross is great
humanitarian undertaking which is to
nurse and care for the soldier boys who
are fighting for the preservation of
our country, and it should be special
point of honor for every one who has
subscribed to its support to pay his sub
sciption. Thetford subscriptions may
be paid at the store of E. E. Huyck,
Clio subscriptions at The Clio State Bank.

Hold Your Liberty Bonds

Secretary OF the Treasury McAdoo
urges the purchasers of Liberty Loan
Bonds of both the First and Second is
sues to hold fast to their bonds. They
are the best investment in the world.
The Secretary's statement was callt d
forth by the fact that Liberty Bond hold
ers are being approached from time
to time by agents seeking to induce
them to part with their Liberty Loan
Bonds and take in exchange securi-
ties which in a number of cases are of a
very questionable value, and was
prompted by the desire to protect the
bondholders against ill-advised disposi-
tion of their bonds.
The Secretary expressed hope that
every purchaser of Liberty Bond will
realize that the only genuine help that
he gives his Government is keeping his
bond as an investment so long as it is
possible for him to do so. He states
however, that no just objection lies tc
the sale of Liberty Bond where rea
necessity exists for its sale.

"There has never been similar body
of men to lead as clean lives as our
American soldiers in France. They
have entered this war with the highest
devotion to duty and with no other idea
than to perform these duties in the
most efficient manner possible. They
fully realize their obligation to their
own people, their friends, andIthe coun-
try. A rigid program of instruction is
carried out daily with traditional Amer
lean enthusiasm. Engaged in healthy,
interesting exercises in the open air.
with simple diets. officers and men, like
trained athletes are ready for their task.
Forbidden the use of strong drink and
protected by stringent regulations
against sexual evils, supported by their
own moral courage, their good behavior
is the subject of most{favorable COM
ments, especially by our allies. Amer
lean mothers may rest assured that
their sons are a credit to them and to
the nation, and they may well look for
ward to the proud day whenlon the bat
tlefield these splendid men will shed a
new luster on American manhood" "

Likes Washington

j. j. Hill, once well known farmer
of this section, but who for the last
three or four years has resided near
Sunnyside, WASH, has sent US letter
renewing his subscription to the Mes
senger and containing interesting in
formation about the state where he now
resides. We think we have stated on
former occasions that Mr.. Hill likes
Washington, and when we read his tes-
tinonials to it's fertility and salubrity,
we can readily believe that we could
very easily like it ourselves nthe let
t,r above referred to, Mr.. Hill.states
the farmers of his section first engaged
i, sugar beet culture in 1916, when 1000
acres were contracted and factory
built, $500 per ton being paid for Is per
cent beets. The yields ran from eight
to thirty-five tons per acre, according
t. MIR. Hill. and yields of twenty-five
rs were common. Two more facto-
rjes are now being built, one of them at
Sunnyside, and the farmers are to get
S.. 90 per ton for Is per cent beets, with
premium, or flat rate of So 50. Mr..
Hill opines that these are rather better
rates than Michigan growers get, but
he evidently doesn't know how brave
the beet growers of Michigan have been
getting since he went away and how
they are making the manufacturers
'come across. Mr.. Hill also.sent us a
newspaper clipping containing state
ment of the temperatures in Washing
ton during December, which same made
us sigh when we reflected on the wealth
er VIE have been having insdear old
Michigan. The warmest day during
that month was 65 degrees Fah., the
coolest 20, with an!average of Al. On
New Years Day the temperature was
70 degrees in the shade, and many out
door picnic parties were organized.

Gen. Crowder on Age Limit

Discussing enlargement of the age
limit for selective military service Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder said:
IA pronounced majority of the
boards favor some enlargement, but
there is great diversity of opinion as to
the proper age limit. Nineteen and 80
are perhaps the limits moat frequently
suggested but some recommend 40 or
45 years as the upper limit. There is
distinctly stronger demand for raising
the maximum age than for lowering the
minimum.
Gen. Crowder estimates that 1889.
388 acceptable single men would be
made available by an increase in the
age limit to include men up to As years.
The estimate places the number of ac-
ceptable single men between 18 and FL
years at 1,546.38 The number of ac-
ceptable single men already registered
but not called is 1928 According
to these figures, should the age limit
be enlarged to include men of from lS
years to as years. inclusive, 4,257, Sic
physically and otherwise qualified un-
Unmarried men would be open for call
to service.

Limits Road Construction

Secretary Houston, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. has set fourth the
policy which he thinks should; be fol-
lowed in highway construction during
the war:
$50 far as it is practicable to do so.
this department will urge the mainten-
ance of the highways already construct
ed; the construction and completion of
those highways which are vitality inn
portant because of their bearing upon
the war situation or for the movement
of commodities; the postponement of
all highway construction relatively less
essential or not based upon important
military or economic needs. The de-
partment is preparing to suggest to the
State highway departments the prep
aration of schedule of work for the
Federal aid projects for 1918 in line
with this policy"
Road construction and maintenance
in the United States involve an annual
expenditure of about $500, 900, 900.
