In Big Sales.

In a statement by George Eastman,
general manager of the Eastman Ko-
OAK Company, of Rochester, N. Y, en-
phasis is laid on the fact that the sue
cess of the Third Liberty Loan by
means of popular subscription will
represent a realization Of the great
democratic ideal. Mr.. Eastman said !:
mo man in his right senses seeks
to accumulate money except for the
for greater benefits 1t will buy him.
Only the miser seeks money for itself.
Does not the same principle apply to
q nation? We are the richest nation
In h world by many timessover, and
we have been accused by less success-
full nations of being money-makers to
the exclusion of some of the higher
things of life, but the time has come
for us to prove that that charge was
without foundation, that we have
sought money simply for the higher
things it would buy and not simply
for the sake of amassing money.
THE winning of this war is the
greatest thing we have ever had a
chance to buy with our money. 1t is

Dared Death for shipmate.

The unsual chance of saving a man

WOMEN AS LOGICAL
CAMPAIGN LEADERS
American Matrons Have Keen.
Sense of Necessity of Clean
Up and Paint Up.
POINTERS ON WHAT TO DO.
Chairman of Woman's National Bur-
eau Offers Excellent Suggestions
on How to Obtain Desired
Renovation.

Here are some pointers for women
who would regenerate their commun-
ity with a real Clean Up and Paint
Up campaign, as suggested by Mrs.
Clarence ]. Baxter, State chairman
of civics and health, Missouri Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs and chair
man of the Women's committee of the
National Clean Up and Paint Up CAM
paign bureau, st. Louis:
Ten Good Suggestions.
1. Take away all the ashes and
trash from your back yard immedi-
ately. Send YOU rubbish to the dump
ing ground.
2. Suggest to several men with
teams that they drive through the
alleys with a sign, "Clean Up Wagon
Oh their wagons; also a bell calling
attention. People are only too glad
to pay such a man for hauling their
trash away.
8. Burn all rubbish hat will burn.
Clean your vacant lots and alley ways.
4. Make your street and parking
look as trim and well kept as possible.
3. Refrain from throwing old paper.
banana and orange skins into the
streets.
6. Plant some grass and flower seeds
to make your home beautiful.
Use Plenty of Paint.
z. If your store front is dingy, paint
II. Nothing will do more to improve
the appearance of a town than the
liberal use of paint.
8. If there are unnecessary, insight
ly, sheds in your back yards tear them
down. They detract from the beauty.
Of your home and the town. Open
spaces and fresh air are better.
8. If your walk is an eyesore to
those travelling over 1t, repair it or
build a new n
10. Clean out the alleys back of the
business houses at once.
By all means do your part to help
make your town cleaner and more at
tractive.

MAKE CLEAN UP CONTINUOUS
Campaign Should Last as Long al
There Is Rubbish to Be Removed
or Painting to Be Done.

Don't call it a Clean Up and Paint
Up "week" or, worse yet day" so
redolent of the annual bath. 1t is
what its name implies-a campaign
fog cleaning and painting; and cam
paigns be 1t noted, are continuous
things; they continue just as long as
there is anything worth campaigning
for; and in the Clean Up and Paint
Up line eternal vigilance and industry
are the price of liberty from dirt and
disorder.
A real Clean Up and Paint Up cam
paign does me- stop in a week, a month,
or a the town or COM
munity has reached the point where
it can clean up and keep clean.
Hardly any phase of the Clean Up
and Paint Up work except street and
alley cleaning, can be more than fairly
started in six days. Local campaign
leaders in many cities have che right
idea as shown in the name adopted in
st. Louis in which something is do
ing every month in the year under
the auspices of the st. Louis "Continu

Greatest CONGREGATIONS, Which Start
From the Smallest Blazes Can
be Avoided by P~recaution-
DenveTs Don'ts.

The Clean Up and Paint Up cam
paign reduces fire insurance rates and
fire losses. In one year the campaign
reduced Cineinnati's annual fire insur-l
ance premiums yer 100000. In his
proclamation of last year, John t.
Winship. Michigan State Fire Marshal,
said: 1.-THE average annual American
fire loss for the last ten years period
was $230,000,000. This Is $63O,OO0i
each day, $4,000 each hour, OF $400l
each minute"
The annual loss through lack Of
painting is greater than the annual
loss by fire. Cleaning up and paint
ing is a long step toward fire preven-
ton. This rids homes and business
houses of accumulations of rubbish
that are liable to start fires and are
menaces to a community. Remember,
that all fires are the same size at the
start. At the same time,. the alleys
should be cleaned; fences and sheds
should be repaired; vacant lots should
be cleaned and tin cans, paper and
dead weeds removed. y
Denver's List Of Don'ts.
Hartford, Conn.,, instituted a clean
up and paint up campaign and then
1t stayed clean. The following year
the fire loss was reduced $4,000 and
the death rate was reduced 5 per cent.
The result in Boston was that the
following year there were 1908 fewer
fire alarms and, from a health stand
point, it was declared to be the best
year in the history of the city.
The Denver Clean Up and Paint Up
campaign committee distributed an
effective fire prevention circular; the
"dont's" can well be followed by every.
citizen in every community:-
do not permit rubbish, greasy rags,
paper and useless waste to accumulate
In or around buildings.
"Do not allow matches kept in your
homes, offices and stores in other than
metal boxes. Use safety matches.
"Do not allow children under ten
years of age to use matches.
do not use lamps and lamp burners
that are not clean.
do not forget to clean your CHM
ney and stove pipes occasionally.
"Do not tamper with or extend cleo
trio wires; employ an electrician.
"Do not keep gasoline in other than
alright cans painted red.
do not fill tank of gasoline stove
when lighted and by daylight only.
Rubber Gas Tube Dangerous.
do not permit a rubber tube con-
nection to a gas stove.
do not empty ashes in other than
metal cans.
do not carelessly throw cigar and
cigarette stubs where they could aus
q fire.
"Do not permit the use of wood u 8
pidors.
do not fail to warn your children

therefore, these bonds give him an op-
portunity for the sort of investment
that will mean freedom for him and
safety for his descendants.
The great dragnet will reach into
every home and into every business
house with an urgency and persist
ence justified by the great emergen-
cies which we now face.
An advantageous feature of the
present drive is the fact that the PEG
pie have come to realize the value of

necessary to educate them on the
comparative value of these issues in
relation to other securities.

COURT UPHOLDS
MECHANICSBURG
Decision in Suit Against Val
ley Railways Company
Sustains Borough

MechanicSburg, Pa, Sept. 2.-Af-
ter years of contention between the
borough of Mechanicsburg and the
Valley Railways Company with law
suit of long standing, a decision was
reached on Saturday in favor of the
former, Judge Mcpherson, of Adams
county, presiding. This is in effect
that the borough is sustained in the
ordinance asking the rental of ST.
200 per annum for use of the streets.
The provision of said ordinance,
which was material TO the deternti-
nation of the case, was as follows:
That the said railway company, in
consideration of the rights and privi-
leges granted by this ordinance, shall
pay to the borough the sum of $50
per annum, said payment to begin
two years after the completion of
said railway and to continue for
three years, at the expiration OF
which term the said annual payment
shall be increased to the sum of 800,
which latter annual sum shall con-
tinue for the period of five years, at
the expiration of which period the
council reserves the right to regulate
and-g determine the future annual
payment.
The period of ten years follow
ing the completion of the railway
expired On March l, 1911, and the
borough council passed a new ordi-
nance increasing the, annual rental
to 1900. The trolley line resisted
the payment of this amount and the
matter went through the courts. The
lower court, Judge Gillian sitting, de-
dided unreservedly in favor of the
borough, whereupon the trolley COM
pany appealed to the Superior Court
The Superior Court, Justice Porter,
affirmed the decision of the lower
court, declaring that the question
at issue was the borough's constitu-
tional right to make and enforce a
contract, which neither the Legisla-
ture nor the courts had the power to
nullify. This decision was appealed
by the trolley company to the Su-
preme Court, where it pended for
long time. Finally, on Saturday,
Judge Mcpherson, Of Adams county,
dismissed the case as above stated.
