Clean Up Today.
Every citizen should clean Nd his

Pierce. chairman OF the general
cleanup committee. declared Mon
day "All trash should be raked
into one pile. All tin cans should
be separated from other trash. No
one should place garbage in the
trash, as garbage will not be coll
lected by the campaign trucks.
Loose boards should be placed In a
pile apart from other materials.
This movement will doubtless
leave lasting effect on the city.

they consider small bits OF trash on
their premises. But these ap. ar
