CLEANUP RESULTS

An inspection of the streets and al
leys of the city of Richmond, made by
the board of public works Tuesday
afternoon showed that citizens are
needing the advice.
The alleys are in an excellent condi-
ton, only one being found which de-
served criticism according to the
board. In many cases the receptacles
should have been larger. There were
no signs of loose paper or trash in
the alleys. In many instances they
were so clean that they looked as
though they had been swept.
The citizenship of the community
has responded to the plea for civic
cleanliness, and beauty, and the
members of the board and the engi-
neer declared they hoped they would
retain the enthusiasm which is evil
dent in the cleanliness of the city.
West Side Inspected.
A tour Of the West Side and Fair
view was made also and the members
of the Board declared the streets
there had been neglected and should
be given immediate attention. The
city engineer said that there is plen-
ty Of good material on the streets and
if each could be scarified and rolled

This could be completed in two weeks.
1t was agreed that street should
be made through Front street and
Southwest First street, which affords
a beautiful view of the new Main
street bridge to travellers coming from
the west, and another remarkable
view down the Whitewater river to
travellers going west. 1t is hoped that
this boulevard can be made next year,
thus making an impressive briSge ap-
proach.
The Board and engineer will make
inspections regularly to see that the
condition of the streets and alleys in
the city is kept up to standard.

MUIR ETTE

Her name was Mirandy Judkins
and she was a scrub lady. But she
was a warm-hearted little girl with a
great deal Of beauty and when love
for Teddy. the musician, came into
her heart, she spruced up and became
different looking girl. All this Is
told in "Mirandy Smiles" the latest
Paramount picture starring Vivian
Martin, which will be shown at the
Murrette theatre today.
Mirandy worked at the Grand Opera
House in a Middle Western town. She
liked to watch the players at rehears-
ais and also to listen to the wonderful
music OF Teddy, who played in the
Opera House orchestra. One day Mir
andy splashed pail of soapy water
over herself, and 1t was Teddy who
rescued her. Their romance started
right there.
Teddy asked Mirandy to come to st.
Marl's church to hear him play and
when she came he persuaded the rec.
tor and the young lady who was en-
gagged to marry the minister. to try to
help Mirandy. This they did by civ.
ing her choir SUPPLIES to wash. In
return, Mirandy gave a sacred con
cert at her home. putting the SUPPLIES
on the youngsters of the neighborhood
in an attempt to raise money and help
therefor in his church work.

Schools for Soldiers

More than 100000 soldiers in the
American forces overseas are en-.
rolled in the schools which the Gov
eminent has established to equip
them for better positions and wages
when they return to civil life To
most Of these young men these
schools offer a greater opportunity
for cultural and vocational training
than would have been theirs if they
had not entered the army.
These schools are so graduated
that they afford instruction in ele
mentary subjects, academic courses
and training in great university
established near Paris. and post
graduate careers in the foremost
French and British universities
While serving their country as sol,
diers these young men may at the
same time benefit themselves as
students. They are combining men,
tai improvement with physical we'll.
being and wholesome discipline that
will safeguard them from the evils
of life in barracks.
Reports to the War Department
show that these young Americans
are testifyine to their appreciation
of the advantages presented to them
by their attention to their studies
Those whose commands are ordered
back to the United States may ap.
ply for transfers to continue Their
education.
This is the first time in history
that provision has been made by
the United States for the education
of its soldiers.

Progressive Towns

The progressive town must not
merely be alert to find new business
and to advance COMMERCIALLY, but
it must be very receptive to new
ideas.
The whole current of civilized
progress is changing iB these mar.
velous days The world has been
shaken out of its old ruts by the
shock of war. People are carefully
examining their old educational,
civic and industrial methods They
are asking themselves how they
can perform the tasks of life more
efficiently.
Nothing can 90 along in the old
stereotyped methods. Churches
must readjust their methods to
modern standards, must cut out
duplication of effort and sectarian
rivalry. They must continue their
work of promoting spiritual life and
at the same time attempt more for
practical beneficence and human
welfare.
The schools can't be satisfied to
follow along the old beaten paths of
education. Modern life calls for
young people of keener observation.
better civic ideals, greater vocation
al skill, and higher standards of
intelligence.
Industrial enterprises must share
the new spirit of brotherhood. They
must promote the welfare of the
humblest worker. and at the same
time they must adopt the new
scientific methods assuring a great
er production.
Now a town can't 60 ahead in
these and many other like respects
unless it has a lot of people who
have their eyes and minds very
wide open. They must be reading
newspapers and magazines. learning
what other people are thinking
about, studying the progress of 9th
er communities, watching social ex
periments. And they muse feel a
keen desire. when an idea has clear
ly made good elsewhere. to tryit out
here in Monroe City and be willing
to give some time and effort tc
adapting it to their home sur

Returning Aliens

Aliens who have been living in
the United States are now returning
to their former homes at the rate of
1000 a day. Some assume that
these people are largely those who
were not in sympathy with Amer
lean life, or were positively disloyal
in the recent war and are glad to
get out
There may be some of this class
and the country IS well rid of them.
But it seems more likely that these
are more largely who wish to see
their home folks, but intend to re-
turn here. A great many alien res
idents have been very much wor-
ried about their relatives 10 the old
country. 10 many cases they have
not heard from them for long
time. Or in others they have had
information that brothers or fathers
have been killed in the war, or that
mothers and sisters have died from
war conditions. 1t is no wonder
that many return to visit those who
are left and plan for the future.
There Is always a large drift back
to the old country of men who
came over to get some money.
planning to return and buy little
places in the old country. These
people take the first chance to re-
turn after peace was declared. The
country is not particularly the loser
by their departure.
To hit the class of aliens who
come to this country without the
desire to become citizens, it is pro-
posed by some that unnaturalized
aliens be heavily taxed. Some put
500 year as a fair assessment.
But the country might not gain
much II they paid it, they would
claim corresponding advance in
wages to meet the cost of living.
The employers would place the ad-
ditional cost on the consumers of
their products.
Still there should be some means
of making these aliens realize that
residence in this country is valua-
bic privilege. A somewhat small
er tax sufficient to convey the idea
and encourage naturalization,
would seem a good proposition.

FORD

Ford cars are important servants
everywhere. They help the family
enjoy life, bring the pleasures and
advantages Of the town within reach
of the farmer and give practical SER
vice every day in country and town.
They require minimum of atten-
ton; any one can run the Ford and
care for it, hut it is better to have
repairs and requirements taken
care of by those who are familiar
with the work and have the tools
the genuine materials, and skilled
men to do the work promptly. We
pledge Ford owners the reliable
Ford service with real Ford parts
and standard Ford prices.

Club Life in Schools

Many city high schools have to
day their school fraternities. the
source of endless heart burning to
those who can't enter them. They
no doubt have their merits. But
their activity seems to be the pro
noting of social amusement of a
frivolous type.
The country school has its club
life too. But it is not of the society
fraternity type. Everywhere rural
schools are organizing their own
kind of clubs, with a real purpose
of service and ambition.
Many rural schools have become
centers where boys aud girls agri-
culture clubs are organized. There
are corn clubs and potato clubs and
pig clubs and calf clubs and so on
These make farm enterprises inter.
esting to young people and give
them faith in their ability to con,
duct farming successfully. No coun.
try school work is complete without
some of these splendid movements
Many high schools organize
musical clubs, orches&as, bands

sessions of the school by their cheer.
