puts everything in shape to be kept in
such condition without trouble. Since
the olty is to co-operate in this clean

this year, it is felt that a greater spirit

on the part of residents than ever
before.
The point is stressed, however, that
the wagons will pay only one visit to
each street and It will therefore be
necessary to have all trash ready on
the curbing for the first trip in order
to have It removed free of charge.

This morning the attorney for Tom
brought Herbert White, colored, in

Then Jack appeared as the pnoseyl

having been started by the board of
trade a few weeks ago to have the citi
zens of the city ob.-.erve such a period
from April IB to April 80. This move
ment waa not only to have trash re
moved but to ha e residences and
business houses painted and the entire )

for the approaching summer season.
Dr. pari V. Reynolds, city health
officer, is especially anxious that this
period of trash removal this year be
more successful than ever before, HU
motto is: "Better health fewer fires
a cleaner city." He also desires that
tho city be brlulitrned -with paint and
whitewash, and that the residents sow
grass seed and plant flowers. Big pos
ters have been printed and distributed
over the city calling attention to the
fact that "clean -up" week begins
Monday. It la pointed out bn this pos
ter that "filth and stagnant water
breed flies snd mosquitoes," and "the
beat way to get rid of these pests is
to clean up."
