It is we'll to remember that attrac-
tive landscaps effects do not happen
spontaneously but are the result OF
careful study and deliberate fore
thought.
Because the Women's Civic and
Community League believes that the
homes in Bemidji should be atrac-
tive without as we'll as within it is
promoting an improvement contest
in our city during the coming sum-
a1er. A silver cup suitably engraved
will be presented to the street show
Jung the greatest improvement this
season. Please take notice-nOt the
most beautiful street, but the one
showing the greatest improvement
will receive the cup. The entire
premises will be inspected by compe-
sent judges at the beginning and at
rhe end of the season. The removal
OF unsightly features and the adj
dftlon of improvements in all lines
will receive consideration.
The association of residents on a
street for the promotion of this con-
test cannot fail to increase commun-
ity spirit and civic pride. The repe-
tition of the contest in the two fol-
lowing summers will give at least
three streets an opportunity to win
the cup, and will certainly add many
permanent beauty spots to our city.
Each of the avenues will be defined
to include one-half block east and
west of east cross street.
Have your street improvement as
snciation in running order by May
first when the annual cleanup ends,
and benefit your family, your neigh
bors and your city by your enter
prise and resourcefulness. A large
number of catalogs and folders Civ
ing suggestive illustrations and valu-
