LOCAL MAN fAvOSS CLEANUP CAMPAIGN

T am heartily in favor oi d Clean Cp and Paint Up campaign here, like those that have become an annual civic institution in thousands of other American cities in recent wears aue I believe something should be done q. once to start il going said L. o. Woolery today in speaking of the Clean Up and Paint Up campaign. suggested by this paper last week.
 The best evidence of proper com. munity pride is the interest shown in matters of this kind It is our duty to promote conservation and produc- ton in every way possible-to con serve health and property as well as the more sentimental civic ideals. and to increase commercial and industrial. as well as food production that all may be enabled as well as urged to save for our national and other per sonaI property.
 Cleanliness thrift and civic pride are the essentials not only for homes and towns beautiful. but for those that are Kept safe from the ravages Of dis ease. fire and weather
 Cellars and attics should be clear cd Of the accumulations Of trash ani fire risk. and liberal coats oi paint should he applied wherever the ray ages of the clements have begun 10 get in their work on the outside. while walls and floors are made sanitary by paint and varnish
 The work of paint and painters Y. bringing cheerfulness and color and hygiene to the home is discounted. however. if the rear yard is left to as. ford hiding place for disease breed ing trash and refuse.
 All the insurance and fire proven tion people ought to help arouse in terest in this campaign for the na- tional fire loss through preventable fires is about S250.O00. GOO a year. though even the annual fire loss is e1- ceeded by the annual loss through the lack of painting. says Prof. H. IT. King. who has conducted paint tests for several years for the people of Kansas at the Kansas Agriucultural college. Indeed. it would seem that property owners generally should be deeply interested in such a campaign. for apparently the time will never come when present buildings can ever be replaced for anything like their origi- nal cost
 'I repeat that I am heartily in ia vor ar real. continuous campaign to Clean Up and Paint Up. and Keep It Cp-not any mere six-day effort It should be started as soon as possible

BASE BALL NOTES

The Maysville Bulletin has the fol-
lowing among its notes of the game
played at Maysville last Sunday be-
tween Paris and Maysville:
Both clubs were guilty of several
misplays that came at critical peri
DDS, but Maysville out-pointed their
opponents and deserved their hard
earned victory.
"Caparoni, the Paris HEAVIER, had
the Maysville stickers baff1ed in the
early stages of the game, but the To-
Gals solved his delivery in the clos
ing periods and batted him hard.
Paris made strong effort in the
closing round and with two men
down managed to get a runner on
first and second, but Fitch famed the
next batter for the third out.
Mann, at third for Paris, has the
appearance of a seasoned ball player
and performed we'll in Sundays con-
flict. His work impressed local fans
and appears to be the star of visiting
