Is rid and kept free OF public menaces

The few nuisances that still remain
will be quickly eliminated. Why moi
indulge a little friendly rivalry and
make Beaver so clean that Forgan and
ali other towns will have to sit up and
take notice IL they present a better ap,
pearance to the state director than we
do?
