CUBS NEED, SAYS
ROGERS HORNSBY

CHICAGO. May 23-tRr-
Plenty Of hard work is chief
~ what the Chicago Cubs need
to make them snap out of their
lethargy. This. at least, is the
opinion of Manager Rogers
Hornsby, who today brought
the Bruins back home In an
attempt to exact a measure
of vengeance for the disappoint-
ments in the East.
The Cubs will tackle Pitts
burgh in a three-game series
and Hornsby Is determined to
work his players until it hurts.
William L. Veeck. president
OF the club. came to the defense
of the players who returned
from their eastern trip beaten
in four out OF six starts. He
declared there was nothing
wrong With the Cubs.

Helm Keen Cemetery Beautiful

The Community Civic club has
been doing some good work recent
~, in the way Of beautifying the
cemetery-looking after eradication
of weeds about the entrance, doing
quite a little planting, etc. Among
other improvements and conven-
fences, they have seen to the plac-
ing sof baskets at three different
points in the cemetery, for the re-
ception of trash, and incidentally
they are calling attention to the
fact that there is always the ravin2
where trash may be thrown, all of
which does away with the necessity
of ever throwing litter on the
grounds, making them untidy and
spelling their beauty, and causing
needless labor for the good sexton
of the cemetery. They are urging
the cooperation of the public in the
effort to help make and keep the
cemetery grounds and surroundings
at all times, what they should be.
Many fine compliments have been
passed on the appearance of our
cemetery. Let's help to keep the
compliments coming.
