LOCAL WOMAN
MAKES PLEA TO
BEAUTlFY CITY
Asks for More Trees and
Better Homes in
Ell Centre

Pleading for the business men of
the city to take an interest in the
Identification Of FL Centre, Mrs. A.
G. Campbell was listened to with
great interest when she addressed
the chamber of commerce members
at luncheon in the Hotel Barbara
Worth at noon today, President X.
P. Moore presiding. The gathering
was regaled by couple OF solos by
j. V. Crosby, who possess a rich bass
voice, ID. Deeble officiating rs ac-
companist, and tAe whole proceed
ings were short and snappy.
Very succinctly were the efforts
of the pioneer women touched upon
by the speaker, she telling of the en-
deavors Of the Ten Thousand club in
1908 and 1909 to get trees planted
in the town. She declared that the
efforts of the women were to a
great extent. thwarted by the men
of those times, and all attempts at a
cleanup day met with very little
response for the mere men.
When she came here first, said the
speaker, there were no trees to
sneak of, no flowers or shrubs, no
| grass and nn,. birds singing in the
/ trees. The women took the first
steps to make the environs of the
city acceptable, and they planted
trees all over, many of those her
4 today affording welcome shade t.
| the residents. The council was no
very responsive to their efforts, sh
! declared, but at last they passed a
| ordinance allowing for the cost ant
upkeep of the growing timber. p.
Urges Dead Trees Removed
Mrs. Campbell urged the remova
of the dead trees today to be replac
J ed by suitable shade, growths, fol
the women. of the city want the
shade for their children, besides
patches of grass and flowers. Homes
OF better type are necessary, and
if these are provided the unsightly
shacks in the city will be torn down,
| and people provided for, more suit;
| ably. IS 4.
lone Of the most essential things
T! in life are those beauties that. touch
our souls" said Mrs. Campbelf :in

YOU must see that beauty is added
60 your home surroundings, III
She e.urged that, clean'hp week be

Fire Marshal Charles Ferguson, ad.

of every one turning out TOMORROW,
on Clean-Up Day, and briefly gave
some of the figure. presented at the
last meeting as to the saving to- the
city by removal Of all fire hax
arus. One or two captains would
not be able to turn up, but they had
found capable substitutes, and hs
hoped that FL Centre would be high
er on the list of efficiency than last
Var, when they occupied fourteenth
position. s.
Thanks to both speakers were ac
corded by President Moore, and
