CLEANING UP

Of course every community should keep clean the
year round but that is why there shouldn't be
special cleanup period in the spring. for the coming
of spring reveals need and offers opportunity for
such special cleanup which is not found at other
The time most perfectly adapted to cleaning up
yards and premises is just after the has all
and the surface of the ground has become reasonably dry
and before the grass starts to No effective clean
ngup be done while Things are still frozen and after
the grass has had little start it effectualy conceas
good many things which should be gathered up and dis
posed of and at the time makes rakng and picking
up difficult
There are several excellent reasons why every per-
should make point to keep the premises where he
lives whether he is the only tenant clean
and presentable possible.
One of these reasons is matter of health. Flies
breed in filth mosquitoes in stagnant water In this eli
mate the mosquitoes probably do not carry disease to
any important extent but they may become annoying
enough without adding that particular bit of vlainy
diseases the result of fly borne contagion Typhoid
fever and intestinal disorders certainly and in all prob
ability, nfantie paralysis largely spread by flies
Flies do not travel far from their Matching places and
without filth flies cannot hatch their eggs. In addition
cleaning up tends to prevent contamination of
of water supply.
A second reason is the value clean premises add to
property In this the of the property is directly
concerned The tenants interest is almost equally great
but not direct Clean premises not only add value to
figured in dollars and cents, but add value to the city
town in intangible way make better and
prosperous community and benefit every resident
whether he is a property owner or tenant.
third important reason, and this time one which
affects the tenant than nonresident owner and
the resident equally with the tenant is that clean
premises make life better worth living and satisfac
tory and have improving effect upon the character of
the inhabitants of the given premises especially upon the
character of the children who are being brought there
