Mr. Robert Rilev Post Master at
Civic League
Just a year ago a few of the ladies
of Mebane realizing that ^OIr^ethin8
should be done to arouse the interest
of the people generally in improved
conditions affecting the hralth. hi^p-
piness and prosperity of the town de
cided to make an effort tp organize a
Civic League believing that through
such an organization these purposes
could be most easily accomplished.
They went out among people and found
a quick and favorable response and ac
cordingly the League was organized
without delay. It immediately went to
work. Its first suggestion was a clean
up day and, with the 'assistance of the
Mayor, public interest was soon quickly
aroused and much accomplished Filth
empty cans, bottles, and iebries af all
kinds were removed, a fact unquestion
ably responsible for the absence of
mosquitoes and the comparative scar
city of flies during the summer months
fol owing, also for the notable absence
of diseases during those months. The
League hopes eventually to get the
community so deeply interested in
Cleanliress as to bring about, instead
of a yearly Clean up a weeklv one.
Its work has been carried on through
Comniittees appointed to accomplish
specific purposes and some of these
(.'ommitt»*es have done very fine work.
Among them • the Committee on Im
provement of the Railway lot; The
Flower Show Committee, with Mrs.
W. A. Murray ('hairman giving the
people a most excellent show and orke

The Committee on Junior Civic work

did most excellent work and
accomplished the very important pur
pose of arousing the young ptople, the
children. Under its auspices a success
ful entertainment in the School build
ing secured means to pay for having
the schovd auditorum wired. Flower
seod were distributed among the chil-
dreii of the towti and prizes offered
for the best gardens. Some of them
succeeded in producing some very fine
flowers. Seeds will t?gain be furnished
them and with a more favorable grow*
ing season this year much more encour*
aging results are expected.
All these things accomplished have
cost money, a good deal of it, and
this has been raised from dues paid by
the members and by profits from the
Flower show, weekly sales during the
summer m?nths last year of ice-cream
by several of the members whose faith
ful service deserves this mention.
The League greatly hopes to see tne
School grounds planned and laid off by
a capable landscape man and planted in
shrubs and grass and provided with a
sanitary well.
It wants to see waste cans provided
at proper places on the business streets
It wants to see trees and grass planted
whereever needed and it also wants to
see Mebane take the lead in an effort
to secure a whole time County health
officer.
The League feels that it owes a debt
of gratitude to Mr. D. A. White for
the very active and efficient interest
displayed in its welfare; to Mr. W. S.
Crawford, our excellent Mayor, also
for similar reasons; and to Mr. J. O,

the Monroe Journal says;

As the strong, smoothly pulling loco

Cleanliness Counts
In Dairy [nspections»
The inspection of all daries selling
milk either directly or indirectly in the
city of Greensboro has been even more
strict for, in addition to bacteriological
tests and tests for the fats contained
m samples secured from every dairy,
the findings being published, tha dairy
buildings have been examined, as well
as the manner in which the milk has
a busy time. All his plans are frus
trated, his farming operations are
checked, and his crops usually suffer
material damage on account of tha
shortage of power at this time.
I never overwork my horse. When
I am in a great rush I find it a loss of
time to try to get more work dona
than my animal is capable of doing
and retain his normal condition. It is
advantageous to allow the horse a few
minutes rest at intervals throughout
the day if your work is very heavy.
These short periods are of great bene
fit to the animal, the same as to man.
Overwork, overloading and overheating
are errors often made, and always re
sult in harm. No farmer can be too
earetul along these lines. Remember
you will need your team tomorrow, so
don’t knock them out today.—Progres
