THE CLEAN UP SEASON.

Perhaps it is a bit earlier than in other years but we are nevertheless get ting to the season when more or less thought must be given to cleaning up. Some ciealups are advisable at any sea- son of the year, but it is in the spring that more than the usual attention is given to the cleaning up of the refuse that remains over from or has accumu- lated during the winter. It is a grand good idea to get fresh start even as the vegetation does, to remove the eyesores, 10 give due consideration to attractive yards anE grounds as a protest against the cases where no regard at all appears to be shown for such matters. While cleaning up may well be conducted at any time, with a general onslaught against refuse 1t is far easier to work np enthusiasm It is through such efforts that 1t Is possible to see that something has been done and every instance where there Is improvement spurs on the other fellow to similar effort that the contrast may not become too great
 Norwich has invariably shown a keen interest in just such cleanup efforts That 1t will indulge in the usual bright. ening up of streets, yards and lots with. h the next few weeks can be taken fol granted. It knows the value of suci work from the health as well as the es thetic standpoint
 There is one thing that may well re ceive careful consideration during an, cleanup effort. whether it is carried o1 as a campaign or individually, and tha Is that gathering up the debris at on mint and throwing if ovpr a u-ol1 ar fence onto another's land does not con stitute the cleaning up that amounts t anything. It is simply removing the rub bish from one point to another where i may be more displeasing to the view o others. It doesn't amount 10 any nor than house cleaning carried out on simi lar lines. A cleanup should mean
 cleanup The job should be well done the rubbish burned or carted away t regular dumping grounds. Good and nc ticeable results are bound to follow cor .scienttous endeavors in this direction.

NEEDLESS NOISES.

Every now and then there bobs up an individual or an organization urging the ruppresSic1 of unnecessary noise. There are those who are able to win a lot of sympathy for the reforms that they ad- vocate wbile others go to such extremes that there Is no possibility of making any neadway.
 In the first place the question arises as to what must be considered unnecessary noise There are those who do not like to hear mill bells or shop whistles and some even claim that they are not need ed and ought to be abolished.
 There are others who cry out against the noise created in manufacturing es- tablishments who seem to fell that in- dustry ought to do business more quietly or cease functioning entirely.
 There are those who insist that auto- mobiles ought not to be allowed to carry horns. strens and other signals for warn. Ing sne people in the street, maining that they should be under such control that they could be stopped and screeching sig. nAls would not be needed.
 There are those who take a radica view regardless of what the subject i: and t Is just as easy for them to do i concerning noise as anything else. what some consider needless noise comes st far from being what others would defint it that there never could be agreement That there is much noise which migh bs eliminated will have to be admitted
 There Is no greater nuisance than tn automobilist who insists upon footing hi horn necessarily for personal advertise Tnec. or the fellow who insists upon usini the cutout Likewise it Is hard to recon che the fellow who lives close by a trol ley track that flat wheels are musical There are many such things which coul be eliminated to relief of large numbers especially the sick, but like the poor tn prospects are that we will have them al ways with us Those who have bee striving for ideal conditions have been a work for long time and there are pros pects that their successors will hay plenty 10 do.

AMRAssApon ro LONDON.

While President Harding has made no selection as yet for the post of aaibassa- dor to Great Britain, or for that matter to any of the big diplomatic jobs, the name of Col. George Harvey has been mentioned in connection with the appoint ment to the court Of St, James and the possibility of such action being taken has been discussed to such degree that sem timent in London has been sounded and it has been intimated that he would be considered acceptable there as such a rep resentative.
 There is no great surprise occasioned ly such an announcement since Colonel Harvey is unquestionably man of abil- i+y against whom London could have no objection providing 1t was desired tha! he should be the representative of this government. That he was at one time democrat, is now a republican and has been an ardent supporter of President Fla -ding aS well as a bitter opponent 0! his predecessor in office regardless of thu fact that he had much to do with putting him forth for the presidency doesn't fur rish any reason for disqualification il the part of Great Britain. What tn, | 1 that if President Harding desires him i has no objection to raise against receiv 1 ing him as our ambassador.
 There are those in this country, chief ly of the other party, who rate other higher a5 diplomats. and among then tlerA are those who believe that ex-Pres ident Taft should be named as cur am

Russia is highly probable. It was irn- possible to get concerted action and each will fail through its own weakness.
 At the same time soviet Russia has gained an important advantage through the signing of final peace terms with the Poles. That ends the uncertainty, or at least should, from that direction and so- viet Russia we'll understands the import ance of eliminating Poland as an enemy, Had by any chance the Riga conference failed and Poland again been drawn into open conflict with the bolshevikl with anti bolsbeyiii striking from within, the situation would have been much more in teresting for the soviet government.

 MT. Editor: In these prosperous CD days when an appropriation of upwards of $200, goes through with an amazing degree of celerity, in town meeting, crit icism of subsequent events of supposed public interest, may De inopportune. .,
 But considerable interest is being de- veloped in this qulet old town of ours, in the policy of reaching out beyond our borders whenever a man is needed t9 head any enterprise, of any sort, in need Of an executive; possibly for lack of suitable material at home. The latest specimen of this policy re- lates to the necessity of passing over the heads of local / olicants and reach ing out as far as Philadelphia for suit able executive for our local division, or whatever 1t may, properly, be called, of Boy Scouts.
