common interest of a better, finer,
and cleaner City.
Let this be our slogan, "Clean up,
Paint up, and Keep it up"
This Clean Up Campaign will re-
suit in many advantages to our City
life. 1t will safeguard our health,
promote thrift, stimulate civic pride,
will make the home and city beauti-
full. We are growing in population,

beauty. Spring into line with the
spirit of pring time by cleaning up,
painting up, and keeping it up.
Let US clear away the refuse
heaps where the deadly house flies

pagates, make thrift gardens, flower
pots, winodw boxes. Keep grass lawn
neat and plant trees. All these
things create more sanitary condi-
tions, reduce sickness, add to the
joy of life because of more beauti-
full surroundings. Increase the value
of property, create new pride, i'm

and the ladies displayed great inter-
est in the work as planned by Mrs.
Frank Nickles, General Chairman of
the Finance Committee. Several COM
mittees were appointed by Mrs.
Nickles and to the one raising the
largest amount of money she will
donate the sum of ten dollars. Now it
remains to be seen which commit
