CLEAN UP AND BEAUTIFY

Our good roads are bringing
through our towns many summer
visitors, and their first impressions
Of our towns should be an invitation
to return.
The Civic club is again sponsor
ing clean up week, which will begin
next Tuesday, with the willing and
active cooperation of our city and
county officials. Residents are re-
quested to scour their premises for
all rubbish and place it in contain
ers at convenient places for the
trucks to haul away. If, after this
is done, it is not allowed to accu-
mulate again, the first step toward
Identification has been accomplish
ed.
The Civic club is making great
effort to improve the river banks,
which greet the vision of everybody
coming from the north. Much has
will join the lineup and help in ev-
cry way to make spic and span ap-
pearance, especially around the
bridge approaches.
The Civic club is also supervising
some planting in the grove. More
will be said about this later.
AS Memorial day is approaching,
the cemetery is in our thoughts.
Folks could materially assist our
sexton, Mr.. Lou Smith, by working
a little on their own lots. The Civic
club has cleaned the debris and
trimmed around the hedge and gate
wav nlanting and Dainted the sex
tons building.
Trimming of weeds, care of trees,
planting of flowers, neatness and
cleanliness and neighborhood prof.
ects for Improvements are mex
pensive, but very effective ways of
beautifying town.
Let every organization, storekeep-
er, housekeeper and child determine
to do nothing that will spoil the
looks of our towns. Xxx.

The Weakness of Esau, Genesis
25:27-34; 27:41-45, for Sunday,
May %:
The lesson is the story of two
brothers; though twins, they were
very different in their character
istics, Esau being carnally minded,
while Jacob was greedy and an as
tute politician.
V. 27. "And the boys grew; and
Esau was cunning hunter, man
of the field; and Jacob was plain
man dwelling in tents" Esau was
devoted to material detectives, liv-
ing entirely for the things of flesh;
Jacob had quiet disposition devot-
ed to home and mother
v. 28. "And Isaac loved Esau be-
cause he did eat of his venison; but
Rebekah loved jacob Partially
in parental affection works havoc in
many family.
VS.. 20, 80. "And Jacob boiled
pottage; and Esau came in from the
field, and he was faint: And Esau
said to Jacob: Feed me, / pray thee
with the same red pottage, for l am
faint; therefore was his name called
Edom.', Esau lacked self-control
and yielded to physical appetite. He
lived on the lower realm of the ply
sical. He made for himself name,
Edom, not very complimentary.
v. 81. "And Jacob said, Sell me
first thy birthright." Jacob possessed
foresight; he knew his brothers.
weakness and set trap for him;
he took advantage of his weaker
brother-a prevailing form of dis
honesty.
V. 80. "And Esau said, Behold.
I am about to die; and what profit
shall the birthright do to me?" In
discounting his birthright he lost
out. He stepped down and out as a
victim of his own appetite.
V. 33. "And Jacob said, Swear
me first; and he swear unto him;
and he sold his birthright unto
Jacob" Jacob would make sure of
his bargain by requiring a binding
oath. Evidently Jacob had planned
thoroughly, and now he worked his
plans
V. 34 "And Jacob gave Esau
bread and pottage of lentils; and he
did eat and drink, and rose up and
went away; so Esau despised his
birthright." Esau's story is very
much like that of the prodigal son
in that "He rose and went away

his father blessed him; and Esau

NEW FISHERMAN LAW
EFFECTIVE MAY 81

An Ohio fisherman, seeking to
purchase a fishing license between
Monday, May 10, and Monday, May
81, will have quite selection from
which to choose. Like milady, pick
ing a summer bonnet, the horny
handed fisher for bass or cat may
have some difficulty in selecting be-
tween the blue, the white and the
green. And there is more to confuse
him than color, for the Ohio fishing
license situation will be quite CON-
plicated for the next few weeks.
The confusion is caused by the fact
that old laws are passing into the
background, while new ones are be-
coming effective. Two old measures
just now are breathing their last,
one the rod-and-reel license law; the
other the trout license law The
universal anglers license law is
Just coming into force. The rod
and-reel law will breathe its last at
midnight, May 80. Until that time
anglers who fish without benefit of
rod-and-reel need no license, while

to the traffic division of the Ohio
highway department as occurring on
state highways outside municipali-

by Highway Director John Jaster
jr. This number was 107 more ac-
cidents than were reported for the
first three months of 1886. Deaths
showed an increase of 26 over year
ago. For the first quarter of this
year there were 135 persons killed,
compared to 100 for the correspond
ing period of last year.
Injured showed an increase of 81
