WHERE COMMON SENSE COMES

Don't let anybody call this week"
so says the National Clean-Up and
Paint-Up Bureau in their literature
about the really great cleanup cam
paign of the year.
Pretty good advice that. There
have been so many weeks" of late
that the average individual has be-
come heartily sick of the word. Only
the other day, tio Journal received
, literature on National Player Piano
Demonstrate Week. 1t may be sue
| ccssful; we hope so.
| But when it comes to cleaning lp q
city, as the National Bureau says, it
snould not be confined to 8 week.
| Such a campaign is bigger than can
be accomplished in any seven days.
| Augusta, along with the other cities
and towns of New England, is to de-
vote seven days just 10 th.. start Of
the annual campaign. Aplil 1hlrtieth
Will see the beginning and It is tie
Ecpe of everyone that the end will net
come until the last rubbish pile has
| been demolished and the last tad
germ gassed in his own dug-oul.
We don't know who started the
first Clean-Up and raint-Up cam
paign, but whoever he was, he I'D
mighty good job. 1t has develcpcd
into the biggest campaign that the
country has seek, and, best of all, it is
a continuing proposition:' one ;h.t
grows bigger and bigger as the Years
pass.
In Augusta, there is an especia:y
good chance for worthwhile wo.k to
be done. The street commissioner IS
TO help by the collection of rubbish.
but the city itself can help even moro
than that in conducting inspections
Of unsightly sections, seeing that rum
down sidewalks are repaired and bad
streets made better.
In seasons past, tho people of Au-
gusta have co-operated excellentlv in
the cleanup campaign. This wear
they can accomplish more than thew
have done before. There is much
painting to be done, repairs made t.
buildings that have been long neg
lected, and so many other things that
1t hardly seems necessary to enu1ncr-
ate them.
The only boss that the clean-un
campaign knows is common sense and
II his orders are followed, then there
VIII be the greatest improvement in
the appearance Of the city that An
gusta has known in a generation
common sense asks TOR the removal
or rubbish piles; for the cleaning ONT
OF cellars; for the picking up Of

The Silver Vegetable Dishes


(Portland Press -Herald)
When the first battleship Maine
was put into commission, about 1895,
the State of Maine or it's citizens, had
made a set of silver vegetable dishes
which were given to this battleship
and formed a part of her wardroom
or cabin furnishings. Now the bat
tleship Maine, the second one of that
name, which had the silver vegeta-
BILE dishes turned over to it after
they were recovered from the wreck
of the original ship caused by the eX-
plosion of a mine in Havana harbor
in 1898, is to be scrapped The sill
Yer service given by Maine should
now be returned to this State until
such time as another battleship bear
ing the name of Maine is put into
commission. In the interim Maine
would be the custodian of these sill
yer dishes and they would form a
very attractive and historic addition
to the furnishings Of the executive
mansion at Augusta.
That this can be brought about is
indicated by the action Of the Navy
Department in the case of the silver
service presented to the battleship
Rhode Island by the state of that
name. Secretary of the Navy DENLY
has stated that on the request of the
governor of Rhode Island he will
order the return of tho silver service
to that state TO be held in custody Of
the state until another battleship is
put into ommission bearing the
name of Rhode Island.
The latter state has no executive
mansion so that the silver service
must be kept in the State House in
Providence. In Maine, however, it
will find a suitable place in the gov
crnor's mansion and THE fact that
these silver pieces We're on the old
Battleship Maine when she was sunk
in Havana harbour and afterwards
recovered from the wreck and be-
slowed upon the second hattleshp
bearing the name of this State, will
make this service of great historic
interest to the people Of Maine. 1t
appears to us that it would be well
il Governor Baxter should follow the
example set by Governor Souci OF
Rhode Island and see ;f the same
treatment will not be accorded our
State that the Navy Department is
evidently intending to accord to

move in the right direction. OF all

 The introduction of a bill to legal ize football and basketball games on Sunday in New York state recalls the fact that Sunday baseball has only been legal in this state since April l0. 1919. Since the passage Of the bill sunday baseball has grown enormously in popularity, and there has never been any organized agita- ton against 1t. In New York city alone many thousands look on at the games on pleasant Sunday afternoons during the summer months and there would be tremendous opposition to. any movement which looked toward It's being abolished.

SHAPING PLANS FOR
 DAVIS CUP MATCHES
Brooks Again to Lead Australian
 Team in 1922 Games

New York, Jan. 12.-(By Associat- cd Press) Financial statements, divi-
 sion of gate receipts and other details | in connection with the Davis cup
 matches of last summer are being
 forwarded to all competing nations
 this week by the U. $. Lawn Tennis
 Association officials. Preparations for
 the staging of the 1922 worlds team tennis championship go hand in hand
 with accounting of the 1921 proceeds. Invitations with the information that entries will close on March Ia
 have been sent to all nations with recognized tennis governing bodies. Unofficial assurance that practically all the countries which challenged for for the Davis cup last year will re- enter the play next season are being received and the association is pre- pairing for the most active campaign in the history of the trophy.
 or the 12 nations which challenged for the Davis cup in 1921 the leading contenders are certain to try again this summer.
 While Australia, Japan, British Isles
 
 to be the strongest challengers at this time interest in the appearance in this country next season will be in creased by the presence of new play CTS on several teams According to ad- vices from the Antipodes the Aus tralian combination will be far more formidable than year ago.
 The veteran Norman E. Brookes will head the team and will have as CO., challengers, Gerald Patterson, J. o. and P. O'Hara- Wood. Brookes will con1ne his play to the doubles pairing with O'Hara- Wood. These two players are said to form the strongest doubles team since the days of Brookes and Anthony Wild ing.
 Anderson improved rapidly during his competition here last summer and Patterson who did not make trip from down wonder" last season has shown a change for the better. Virtually all his playing was done under the coach Ing of Brookes and the fact that he won eight Australasan champion ships in some six months gives some | idea of Patterson's improved game. He has developed smooth and effective backhand heretofore his chief weak ness, thanks to continuous training un- der the direction of Brookes.
 American tennis authorities lean to the opinion that the proposed Aus tralian combination will appear in the challenge role late in August and give the United States defenders bitter battle for the cup.
