One boy helped the ueluhbors af
ter he had cleaned his own yard.

In response to the query or their
teachers, "What 1 Did to Help Clean
up Keokuk," the children In the Keo
kuk, IoWa, schools have written the
parts they played In the cleanup cam
palgn, and some of the compositions
were remarkable examples of Indus
try, worthy of emulation by much old
er heads.
A number of things the children did
howlng the Important part they took
re given below:
"Tearing down old, unsightly fenc
es," "Cutting down old dead trees,"
"Raking yards and raking up brush,"
"Gathering up tin cans, ashes and rub
bish," "At school before cleanup day
we cleaned the school room, scrubbed
our desks, duated the cases of mod
els, and specimens, hung up clean
white curtain at the windows which
some of the pupils had taken home
to be washed."
One boy said he began the next day
after the Woman's Civic league an
nounced cleanup day and cleaned the
alley and picked up all the sticks and
stones in the yard.
A little girl said after she had
worked all day cleaning, she thought
of these lines: "Something attempt
ed; something done, has earned a
night's repose."
Another little boy wrote: "On the
morning of cleannp day, I cut the
grass; afterward I cleaned the gutter

AGAINST WILD CAT BANKING.
Added prestige' for the American
Bankers association is proposed
through the safeguard to Investors
which wll result from alllllating the
big Investment banking houses of the
country with the Bankers association
as a committee with headquarters In
Chicago has proposed, This commit
tee of 32 members has undertaken to
organize this new section of the na
tional organization of bankers for the
declared purpose of the plan being "to
protect the public from wildcat secur
ities of unscrupulous promoters."
Millions of dollars are sacrificed each
year through the operations of the
"wildcat" corporations and thousands
of people are disillusioned but never
theless the sound bonds aud stocks
have met a serious competition from
their alluring and Irresponsible prom
ises. The proposal to organize, sent
out by Chairman George B. Caldwell,
of Chicago, Is said to have met with
an Immediate response from Invest
ment bond houses from coast to coast
and every effort will be put forth to
carry out its purpose. It is predict
ed that members of the American
Bankers' association will favor the
plan at the convention of that body to
be held in Detroit next September.
The first definite step In negotiations
with the bankers' association was
taken at the meeting of the latter's
executive council held at Brlars
cllff, Me., on May 0 and 7, when the
special committee on amendments of
tho proposed Investment bankers' sec
tion conferred with hat body. Fol
lowing this will be at least one meet
ing of the general organization com
mittee of the Investment section be
fore the American Bankers' associa
tion holds Its convention In the aut
umn. This meeting will be held at
some convenient place to he named
later.
