Spring Cleanup
Will Be Big Event

The annual cleanup of the city of
Belt viii be organized during the next
week or so. 1t is expected that the
miners union, the American Legion,
the schools and the city council win
cooperate. Last year the Legion wers
the initistors of the movement and did
noble work in carrying their plans to
a successful conclusion.
County trucks were used IN tha
Kennedy addition and Coin Oven fiats
outside the city limits with good 10
suits and vacant lots throughout ths
city were rid of their accumulated
loads Of refuse. The school children
who helped were given = theatre
ticket and the men and women re-
ceived the silent thanks Of the city.
Whether the same procedure win be
followed this year Ia unsettled but II

holiday, as = day set apart for tha
common good, II each individual can
be made to realize that h2 himself will
profit in health and comfort from
whatever service he gives, that he
owes something to the community in
which he lives, then this day will be =
bowling success. ...s'
The city has no money for this
work and IT must depend largely upon
the combined efforts of its public
spirited citizens. The man who puts
on old clothes and gets a rake or sho-
vel and uses It It's citizen Of whom
we should feel proud, but the man who
excuses himself on the plea Of BUSH
ness and sends no one hi his place, the
man who considers it beneath him to
do manual labor, the man who shirks
because 4otherss will. d. Il. ars sursly

the community At heart.
In the organixa ton Of the work no

get together for one day and labor for
the common good viii do more lasting

hopes by assiduous practice thereon
to keep his waist line down to sym
metrical proportions.
The grounds will necessarily have
to be fenced to keep the wayfarer
from cutting across the leveled courts
on rainy day and to prevent the
storage of farm machinery and the
feeding of horses there to the detri-
ment of the courts.
The promoters of this have another
bee in their bonnets and that is the
construction of swimming pool
somewhere in the park.
This would necessarily have to be
concreted but the advocates of the
scheme have it all figured out how to
build it. They plan to have it in the
of 80 feet by 100 feet
and just deep enough to make swim
ming easy and safe.
Anything can be accomplished by
action at no great expense.
1t is only impossible when the chief
of scheme are averse
to little physical effort.

Quiet Election Day
in Belt This Year

Monday was municipal election day
and it passed hardly notices, yet the
electione were held in the three wards
with the following results.
First .Ward-D. w Burnett, %; j
Harner, n. Five ballots with Har-
ner's name written in were not count
ed because there was no cross in the
square.
Second Ward-Charles w. Holt re-
ceived % votes while there were sew
en- scattered ballots.
Third Ward-A. L. Winston, IL.
The most noticeable thing about the
election was that the judges and
clerks served without pay in order
that the expense to the city should be
lessened. For this they deserve a
great deal Of credit and the thanks Of
the other citizens. Their names are
First Ward-Mrs. Charles Rice,
Mrs. Charles Jennings, Fred Sunder-
meier, Philip Leveille and John Pear
SON.
Second Ward--Mrs. Mary Frye,
Mrs. Eva Carr, Mrs. Lily Johnson,
George Mace and o. NJ. Olson.
Third Ward-Mrx. Fl. w. Millard,
Mrs. N. II. Browning, Mrs. Anna
Larkin and C. e. Gustafson.
The patriotic action of these ladies
and gentlemen saved the city treasury
the nice sum of $50.
