SPOTLEss TOWNS IN FLORIDA
State Sets an Example That All Sec
tions of the Country Might
Copy With Benefit.

If every town in the South would
initiate most Of the towns in Florida
the South would become noted
throughout the world for the beauty
and charm and cleanliness of it's
towns. declares a writer in the Manu-
facturers' Record.
Cleanliness, it has been said, is
next to Goodness. A dirty individual
Is neither clean spiritually nor men
tally. Dirt makes for ruin physically,
mentally, morally. This is as true OF
q town as of an individual. The dirty
town, the town full Of rubbish, of I'M
tidy houses of muddy streets, of IN
sanitary conditions, is non-progressive
materially, morally and educationally.
Neither moral nor material advance
ment flourish in dirty, unkempt dwell
lings or in unkempt towns.
If any town or city is ambitious for
advancement, or if even few of its
their time and energy to the better
ment Of the community, the surest
way to achieve success is to clean up
make back yards and front yards
clean, make streets clean and keep
them clean, encourage the people,
white and black alike, to beautify
their homes and their yards, stimulate
love for and a pride in their homes
and in their towns, repair the tumble
down yard fences, paint up, make
things as clean outside as they should
be inside, and then that community
will look up mentally, morally and
materially.
No community which does not clean
up and paint up, which does not do It's
best to have clean streets and clean
yards, has any right to look UP and
face the world.

EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD HELP
No Reason Why Fight on Civic ugIi-
ness Should Be Left to an
Organization.

The Anti-Ugly association is the at
torney for every home owner, every
property owner, every person who
does business in Kansas City. Every
DETACHMENT of sidewalk, street or al
ley damages property. 1t tends to
make Kansas City a less desirable
place to live in.
A man may erect a million-dollar
building, and we still permit his
neighbors to give him back alley
trash can setting. A family may put
its savings into a home, and we per
NIT the owner of vacant lot next
door to depreciate the value of the
home.
The Anti-Ugly association has gone
out to remedy this condition. It is
