MRS. R. MCCLELLAN
LAID TO REST MON,

Myrta Amelia, daughter of Hal
sey S. and Cynthia Amelia Curry,
was born in Boscobel, Wis, March
4th, 1872. When she was ten years
of age, she came to Dakota Territory
with her parents, who took home
stead near Colgate. She resided
there until her marriage April 1st,

made their home in Rochester Town
ship, Cass County. One child, Edith
A., was born to this union. who died
at the age of five years.
The past five years, their residence
has been at Pillsbury, N. Oak. Her
health began to fail in the winter of
1920 due to influenza. From that
time she had more or less of a hos
pital record, until recently when she
seemed much better. A week ago
she was suddenly taken worse. She
was removed to st. Johns Hospital
i'll Fargo, where she passed away
suddenly at three o'clock Friday
morning, April 22nd, 1921.

PREPARE FOR CLEAN
up week, may 81

This is the season of the year
when Hope and every other city
should give thought to the Sprig
cleanup. A call has been issued
asking that the week, May End to
May 9TH inclusive, be observed as
cleanup week, and is call that
should have special appeal to all
right thinking citizens.
Hope can be congratulated upon
the fact that much has already been
done by individual citizens without
the urge of a campaign but a con-
certed drive on the part of everyone
will only make the work more thoro.
The cleaning up of city at the
time when all nature is taking on
the garb of the spring time season
makes not only for beautiful city,
but for healthful city. Both these
are important factors in every COM
munity. The average citizen is too
often not impressed with the fact
that the securing of health is after
all one of the greatest things to be
accomplished in such cleanup
May we ask then that this years
campaign have the support of every
citizen to the end that Hope may
continue to be healthful, beautiful
and prosperous city?
-"Swat the Spring Fly
Nature is house cleaning. The sea-
sons dirt and rubbish that has col
lected during the winter season are
now being routed out of corners and
crannies by the spring winds. April
rains are washing the accumulation
into cutters and on into rivers. The
fields are receiving fresh coats of
green. Trees are being "re-uphol-
stered". Nature dictates that we fol-
low her example. We can't be dirty
housekeepers without clashing with
her. We toss tin cans into va
cant lot, and she makes them
breeding place for mosquitoes. Re-
fuse heaps propagate the fly. Filth
holds the menace of disease. Out
doors and indoors the rule holds the
same. And so we have spring house
cleaning and cleanup week. Nature
is lover of beauty. She is intoler-
able of ugliness. When her beauty
is marred, as by a landslide or the
devastation of an overflowed river,
she soon hides the blemishes with
coat of green. Here again we might
we'll take Natures tip. A dash of
paint here, few shovelfulls of dirt
and a handful of grass seed there,
will work wonders.
