ELIMINATE THE RUBBISH.

The first cleanup day ever held in
Oakland was on May %, 1911, accord
ing to the President of the local Civic
Club, Miss Thekla Fundenberg, who
had charge of the campaign. Before
that time "eye-sores" and rubbish
heaps were common sights and both
the residential and business sections
of Oakland were anything but beauti-
full and tidy.
But practically every year since
that time there have been two or three
days or even week devoted to clean
ing up and painting up, and it is well
worth the time and money spent. The
Civic Club and the Mayor and Council
have always sponsored these commu-
nifty projects and this year is no ex-
ception to the rule. A team or truck,
furnished by them free of charge to
the property owners, will be sent from
house to house on Monday and Tues
day, June 20 and 81, and every citizen

ADVERTISING RETURNS

Monday night, the West Virginia
Ramblers, blind entertainers from the
School for the Blind and Deaf at ROM
ney, West Va, were to have given a
play at the Oakland High School. At
the moment when the performance
was ready to begin, there were two
persons in the audience.
Besides being a very disappointing
experience to these blind people, who
were endeavoring to show that they
could entertain well in spite of their
handicap, it was not particularly COM
plimentary to Oakland, and were it
not for the circumstances, would be
deplorable indeed.
ThsTe are only two explanations and
The Republican is sure that the latter
explanation is the only correct one, at
least it hopes so. The first is that the
people knew of the entertainment, but
were not interested sufficiently to at
tend. The second is that because of
the poor advertising given the enter
tainment harly anybody was aware
that anything was taking place at the
high school, and it is really very reas-
able that this should be blamed for the
appearance of but two people.
The handbills announcing the en-
tertainment were very unattractive,
and were passed out on Wednesday of
last week. The Republican carried a
small story about it. That was the
entire amount of publicity.
There is always a certain number of
people who are willing and even anx-
ious to attend good, wholesome enter
tainments-if they know about them.
But they can't be expected to attend
when no advertising appears telling
them of the events.
Happenings like unto that which oc-
Cured Monday evening, although they
are deplorable to the players and to
the sponsors of the plays, only tend to
prove more and more forcibly that ad-
vertising pays, that if one wants re-
turns he must spend something tell
ing people that there is going to be
something doing.

is expected to have his premises
cleaned up and in good order and all
trash and rubbish in receptacles ready
for loading when the vehicle arrives to
haul it away.
There's bound to be something to
clean up. The person who moves
very often is about the only one who
realizes what an immense amount of
Junk" accumulates from year to
year. He thinks that some things are
absolutely necessary for his existence
until he has to pack them in prepara-
ton for moving. Then he decides
that they are useless and are discard
de.
Every family should put itself in
the role of family about to change
it's abode. Then all the things that
would not even be considered worth
packing can very well be disposed of
during these two cleanup days. 1t is
a good chance. There will be no eX-
pense attached to it for you and you
will get the benefit of that much extra
space to put all your accumulations
for the next twelve months.
Clean up! Paint up! Bathing ones
body was rare occasion in the olden
times, but times have changed and
bathing has become a habit-a sane
and healthy habit. Now, no one of in
telligence would even think of having
unclean bodies.
Well, it is just as sane and healthy
a habit to clean up ones premises.
They didn't do it in the olden times,
but the people knew no better in those
days. The habit is one that is we'll
worth acquiring. After so long time
it will become as natural as taking a
bath.

IMMENSE CROWDS SEE
COL. LINDBERGH RETURN
Americas Daring Lone Eagle
Greeted By Thousands and is
HOnOred by the President,

Lindbergh Day in Washington was
celebrated Saturday by immense
crowds who were attracted to the ma
tons capital to pay honor to this in
torpid young flier who has so recently
startled the world by his daring. Col.
Lindbergh is literally as well as figu-
ratevely super airman--a long eagle
of the skies.
Hours before he landed from the
cruiser Memphis at the Navy Yard
his movements were being kept in
close touch with by millions of peo-
pie. Microphones at the Navy Yard
dock, in the dome of the Capitol and
in the topmost peak of the Washing
ton Monument, which had been in
stalled by the telephone company for
the use of the announcers, made this
possible for the benefit of the rapid
fire description of every activity that
took place in their range of vision of
the movements of Lindbergh and his
majestic escort and the wild demon
strations of the throngs. These OBJ
servation stations, tied together by
network of telephone lines, brought
descriptions of Lindbergh's every
movement to the ears of people all
over the country.
Col. Lindbergh, accompanied by
President Coolidge, on arriving at the
Monument grounds, was welcomed by
an audience said to be the largest ever
assembled in Washington. On enter
ing the speakers stand, President
Collidge and Colonel Lindbergh were
greeted by roar of welcome from
the vast throng who had assembled in
his honor and to see the Chief Execu-
tive of the nation decorate him with
the flying cross.
| People not only saw the presenta-
ton of the medal, but actually heard
every word spoken by the President
as well as the acknowledgment made
| by Colonel Lindbergh. This was made
possible by the use OF a Bell public
address system which was installed
and operated by engineers of the C. &
P. Telephone Company.
In addition to the radio network
and loud speaker equipment, tele-
photograph apparatus was installed
by the telephone company so that pic
lures of Lindbergh events could be
Transmitted for use in every section of
the country. The receiving stations
to which pictures were transmitted
from Washington included Boston,
New York, Cleveland, Chicago, St.
Louis, Atlanta, San Francisco and
Los Angeles. By the use of this ap-
paratus, photographs made in Wash
ington were available for newspapers
in distant cities the same day in which
the events occurred.

A BOYS BAND.

"The ability to play well some mus
zeal instrument goes hand in hand
with a quick and active mind" some
one was heard to remark yesterday,
and he has summed it up perfectly.
This means nothing more than the
fact that if about twenty young boys
of Oakland were to form boys band
and learn to play, the community
would be helped considerably in ad-
dition to the good which each ind-i
vidual would get out of it.
R. R. Gilbert, of the Cumberland
and Allegheny Gas Company, who is
very well versed in music, has de-
clared himself to be more than willing
to teach these boys free of charge.
His idea is to get group of about
twenty boys who are interested and
teach them music from the beginning,
and he has assured The Republican
that in six months he will have them
able to play selections for street en-
tertainment.
The only drawbacks are the pur-
chase of instruments, the means
whereby the gas and electric bills in
Cured can be met successfully and
the persistence of practice among the
boys themselves. Many boys who have
asked to become members of the pro-
posed band are not able to pay for
the instruments they require.
In the first place the parents of
those boys interested should do all in
their power to encourage this move
ment and if possible contribute to-
ward the purchase of the instruments.
For the twenty boys there are but
six horns available. Several of the
boys who do not have them could get
them through their parents who are
financially able to pay for them. For
the others, an outlay of approximate
ly $500 would be necessary.
The Republican would like to see
the band become a reality. For an
example of successful boys band we
only need to go four miles to Crellin.
The Oakland band can become a real
ity if the people of town are interest
ed. There is no need at this exact
moment to commit oneself one way
or the other. Just think it over and
the advantages will be easily seen.

Lindbergh, Worlds Champion Aviator,
According to this Correspondent,
Had Courage in Refusing to Par
take of Wine at Two Banquets In
His Honor While in France.
To the Editor of The Republican.
At this time, when our President
and kings and foreign ambassadors
and other distinguished personages
are bestowing highest praises upon
Charles Lindbergh and the whole civ
ilized world is delighted to honor him
of whom America is so justly proud,
it is well worth while to note the fact
that our young hero does not drink
and is standing true to his principles,
even in France, where drinking is
considered the proper thing, especi-
ally at banquets. In the Baltimore
Sun (not "dry" paper) of May 25
first column, front page), it is stated
that at two receptions in Paris in one
day, when toasts were drunk to him,
he acknowledged the compliment, but
he himself did not drink.
1t takes courage to go against Gus
tom, and Charles Lindbergh has cour-
age-physical and moral
And in a story by himself, copy
righted by the New York Times Co.,
Lindbergh said: 81 never drink alco-
hol at all and | never felt really thirs-
ty until l landed. l kept on drinking
milk and water all that evening after
l got to the American embassy" Milk
and water, but no wine, beer or liquor
of any kind for him!

How gratifying it is to note that
the metropolitan press all over the
country is giving an appropriate
amount Of space on the front pages to
Lindbergh's great achievement of be-
ing the first one to cross the Atlantic
in nonstop flight. There had to be
something uncommon like that to
wake it up. For a while at least
the murder trials and stories of grue-
some murders and morbid happenings
will take the inside pages. Would that
they could be relegated to those places
for all time. But that is not probable
at this time, for achievements like
unto Lindbergh's do not happen every
day, and the public looks for the new
and uncommon.

Placing Us on the Aerial Man

Congratulations are due the Association Of Com
merce for its foresghtedncss in acquiring for the
city public arplane landing field. BY this
tioh Bismarck holds the enviabc position of being
one of the first cities in the northwest to acquire
field.
The value of this undertaking. not 1nly but
also in the future is great. This city is admirably
located as what might be called an "air division
point" 1t is less than 400 miles from Mnncapo-
lis by air. less than 400 from Billings. less than
800 from Missoula.
Already there many planes making the trip
from Minneapolis to the coast merely pleasure
jaunts. They have in many instances, had to pass
Bismarck by because of the lack of suitable land
ing field. But no more, for the landing field
will give them an opportunity to stop at this
strategic point.
1t does not require any r-fetched imagining to
vision Bismarck key point air mail sys-
tenn from the Twin Cities to the coast. Already
plans are under way to extend the present air line
from Minneapolis to Fargo The next extension
logically will be to Bismarck and then to Seattle.
Aviators could hop to Fargo, then to Bismarck,
then to Glendive Billings, Butte Missoula. then
ON to Seattle and Tacoma.
This air line may not come this year the next.
but inevitably it will be inaugurated. When that
time comes, Bismarck will be prepared. The de-
csive action and the foresight Of the Association
of Commerce have assured Bismarck a permanent
place on the aerial map Of the United States

He Has Earned q Rest

ST. Louis reports that the receptions are over.
and that ne will have chance to rest.
Bless the boys heart it is high time that part
OF the program came along!
1t has been a steady streak of receptions and
parades and crowds and band playing and noise and
clouds OF ticker-tape for about four weeks now,
and that, surely, is plenty.
The world has been good to Lindbergh, but on
the other hand he has been good to the world good
in giving it something to think about that is 50
much better than most of the things it mostly
thinks about; good in giving himself so freely tn
its parades and receptions; good in giving it the
spectacle OF young man who keeps as well poised
through it all as he in that historic flight over
the Atlantic
And now he has earned a good rest, and he ough,
TO- get II.
One Of the sanest things said about Lindbergi
was contributed in letter to the New York Times
Saturday morning by Hendrix Van Loon, printed
N The Herald Saturday evening, in which he said
Cannot someone pluck that tired kid out of His
bus and take him to farm and let him sleep 70,
= couple Of weeks?"
| The receptions are over, now. There is a chance
for him to get good rest and think it all over
Here's hoping that he gets that rest before any
thing whatever more happens to him. 4
