I A CAMPAIGN ON TODAY. The campaign for "Clean-up Week" starts today In Washington and is to continue all during the week. The Board of Aldermen have requested that this he done, the mayor has called upon the cltlsens to get busy and the Woman's Civic club I % has been actlvo in the matter, so the only thing remaining Is tor the cltlsens to obey the wish and pay attention to 1Jbe cleaning of lots and their premises. Some of Washington's enI terprtslng folk have already done so. hut the major portion in tho city havo decided it seems to wait to the last moment. Get busy and place your trash and garbage c/ the street, so as the city drays can haul it away promptly. If Washington is be a healthy town, as it should he. we must pay attention to our lots, quthouses, etc. This Is the season of Uhe year when Mr. Fly assert via authority and gets v in his roost dealy work, and Mr. Mosquito also holds high carnival?a season when disease and epidemics come. We must get ready to com. bat these destroyers of health and "swat" 'them from every side. One of the very best means towards this end Is to have your premises in such a condition tfrat they will have no place in which to breed and thrive. Thla is "Clean-up Week" In Washington and it behooves every lawabiding citizen to see to it that their lots are renovated and thoroughly limed. IMPROVED PAHTEL POHT FA. CILITIES. It Is gratifying to note that Postmaster General Burleson, since Congress declined to hamper and restrict his program for bettering our parcel post system, has gone steadily ahead with his plans for making the service really efficient and effectivo In bringing the producer and consumer closer together. The regulations, ss amended, pro. vide for the carrying of seeds, bulbs, cuttings, Bclons and plants, weighing less than four ounces, at a flat rate of one cent for each ounce or fraction thereof, regardless of the distance. On similar articles weighing four ounces the regular parcel post rates, varying according to the different zones, are in effect. Another noteworthy improvement Is the amendment permitting Che shipment of books weighing In excess of eight ounces by parcel post. All books coming under thlB weight are subject to the regular postage hitherto charged on books. The provision permitting the shipment of Beeds and plantB comes a lKtle late to be of much value to the farmers this season, but It goes wltihout saying that It will be a great advantage In the future. The only wonder is that such an Important feature of the law was omitted in the beginning.?The Progressive Farm, er. ANNOUNCEMENT.

"Is this Irrevocable, Blade?" * "Irrevocable," declared Blade, posl- 8 Lively. "As I have told you several * Limes, senator. It Is Irrevocable. Ill stand by that." Convinced that Blade knew his own 8 mind In this matter as well as ho bad, : the reputation for knowing It In alt' * sther maters, Strickland returned to * the waiting politicians. *' Blade had been alone but 4. few 1 minutes when Katharine returned. J "Well, Mr. Blade." the girl ex- 1 claimed, "things seem to be coming * our way." Slade was in no mood fbr mere con- ^ vcrsatlon. He was annoyed at Hayes' ? attitude, and Incensed because hie private affairs were botng publicly t discussed In the next room. Mentally ; he consigned Hsyes to the devil, his * wife to the far East of t*i? country, 5 and registered a-vpw with Umself that he would have that dlvoroe and the . woman he wanted- in spliei of everybody and everything. . He resolved to sound KaCherlne out * then and there. He turned over in hie mind the most cold-b iboded prop- J osltlon that a man ever made to a . woman. He was planning to ask her to marry him, when he should be * free, to decorate bis home, preside at 1 his table, share his wealth and the 8 honors of the chief executive of the j state. There would be no warmth In his tone, no love In his fceart, no j hunger of his Hps for hers, wo yearn- J: ing of his arms for her yielding figure, ^ there would be none of th% lire of youth, nothing of the love of little f children, nothing of the spirit that I makes of marriage a sacrament rather ' than a thing of convenience. Aa Katharine walked across the room, moving toward blm with the quiet grace and dignity of the well- . trained, well-gowned woman, he bad t a fleeting memory of the sllgbl badly dressed Utile woman, whose dlfrdence J in strange surroundings had always fretted him, She a governor's! wife? g Impossible! He rose end stood be- , side the woman whom he proposed to use as another living stepping stone. "Mils Strickland," his mtad fully made up, "you've done a lot fbr me In the last few weeks while you've 1 been making that bust. I think I understand you in a way. The more 1 H eee of you the more I think 1?I'd Thjs^ Yn Han Alwiyi BegH ' you Art Going to Hob a Poor Uttlo oorton. nod I mat a vomeo it 10 hood ot my houee that I can be rood ot?like Strlcklnnd."

"Perhaps sooner, don't expect any woman's going to ore -mo?she Isn't. (Jot to do that rben" you're young. But I'd do all I ould for tho woman. She'd hate evrythlng?money and?the power that joes with It. I want to say right tare that I wouldn't apeak If I thought oung Hayea had a chance. I saw ie didn't." At the mention of Hayea* name Catherine had an Instant's vision of Job's tender face?hla eyes.burning rlth love looking into here?of his outh?hla strength?his One honor, .nd her heart cried out desperately, tiUfully.-for- the shelter of his arms. In another moment the old reeurent vision of life In tho old town, lull, cheap, uninteresting, and the are. of what 81ade was offering, the noney, the clothes, the servants, tho >orwer fo reign supreme, swept her iff Ber ieet. The thought of divorce lid not terrify Ijer. Mrs. Slade, whom he had never seen, was only a nemo. Ah Slade watched her standing itralght and white, ho foared he had teen too brutally blunt "Yon needn't think it over now." 10 hantened to add. "Perhape you I Vill later, and perhaps you won't r That's for you to decide. I guess I've aid all- I can say." But Katharine was not a woman to Brink from & situation ' bocause of ts unpleasant- features. She knew hat she couldn't have all the things he wanted without some suffering, ome pain. Her father's world had aught her that love was a ihingNjf mall consideration, where marriage ras concerned, unless it went with he advancement of one's ambitions. iOVB was not ?f tho u-nrlfl tower, wealth?these were of the rorld and this man offered them to ter. "This Isn't a matter of sentiment," the agreed with him calmly. "111.be terfecily- frank with you. I don't eay won't-think It over. I know Just r|iat you want of a woman. When on can go to my father free there von't be any barrier in the way." Sho offered her hand as If to bind he bargain. He held It for a brief us taut and with a\ hurried "thank ou" left the room.
