Many of our neighboring towns and cities are instituting clean-up days sim liar to the one successfully carried out in Enterprise last year planned by the Improvement club and so ably en dorsed by the city council. The gfd work should be again taken up. AVliil notices for clean-up day appear In many of our exchanges the Morning Al bertan at Calgary, Canada, goes them all one better. It says: "Beginning at 8 o'clock on the morning of Mon day, April 10, there will , bo a six days' cleaning of the back alleys and streets of the city, when all citizens 'are urged to take a patriotic part, with brush and pick in hand. The prop option of six days is made, not be cause the city Is dirtier this year thai last, but because of Its expanse, and the fact that too much dirt would b& collected in one day for the incin erators." Three attempts have been made by incendiaries to burn St. Paul's Epis copal church at Walla Walla, one of the most modern and costly church structures in that city. The first at tempt was made last November and two others last week. The fires have fit the parish to an expense of sever al thousand dollars, and strenuous ef forts are being made to arrest the guilty party. People should be very careful when the spring cleaning mania strikes them. At Centrnlla, Wash., in agod woman had stored her savfngs for years in an old shoe which an ener getic daughter-in-law relegated to a pile of debris which she converted Into a bonfire.

One hundred and forty-eight personsnine-tenths of thera girls from the east side were crushed to death on the pavements, smothered In smoke or burned to a crisp lh a factory fire last Friday afternoon in the worst disaster New York city has known since the steamship "Gener al Slocuin" was burned to the water's edge off North Brother Island in 1904. One hundred and forty-one bodies had been removed from the ruins at midnight and seven of the 40 Injur? ed died in hospitals. This, it la be lieved, completes the list of dead, most of whom are unidentified. Grief crazed relatives besieged the morgue as the bodies were laid out. Nearly all, if not all of the victims, were employed by the Triangle Waist company on the eighth, ninth and tenth floors of a ten story loft, build ing at No. 23 .Washington Place on the western fringe of the down town wholesale district. Partners of the firm, Isaac Harris and Max Blanck, escaped, carrying with them over an adjoining roof, Blanck's two young daughters and a governess. There was not an outside fire escape on the building, and another holocaust goes down in history attributed to neg ligence of city officials ' and to em ployers. How the fire started perhaps never will be known. A corner on the eighth floor was Its point of origin and only the three upper floors were swept. On the ninth floor 60 bodies were found; 63 or more persons were crushed to death by jumping; more than 30 clogged the elevator shafts. Loss of property will not exceed $100, 000.

Easter-tlme is that of 'Touch, " says Woman's Home Companion for April. "Nor Is It necessary to con fine this amusement to the very lit tle poople, for it would make an ap propriate entertainment to Introduce after an Easter luncheon party where the1 Easter egg enters into the scheme of table decorations. Place six eggs which have been colored green, red, black, blue, yellow and one lef! white, in a pan or basket of moss or bran, leaving some space between One of the players Is blindfolded and then provided with a light stick or wand. With this she carefully touches one of the eggs, reciting slow' ly and distinctly at the same! time: " 'Peggy, Patrick, Mike and Meg, See nie touch my Easter egg; Oreen and red, and black and blue Count for six, five, four and two; If I touch an egg of white, A forfeit then will be your right: If I touch an egg of gold. It Is mine to have and hold.' "As the rhyme tells the colors count as follows: Green, six; red, five; black, four; blue, two, and the yellow egg is worth more than all of them combined, for when a player touches that she wins the game re gardless of the standing of the oth er scores. The white egg is less than nothing, as whoever touches it has a forfeit to pay. The method of deter mining this would wisely be decided before the game opens. "Each player is blindfolded in turn, and when the score of, say, twenty is reached by any single player, the game Is ended without the aid of the 'golden egg.' Of course the rela tlve positions of the eggs must be changed with each player.'' NOTICE .

Lowest Current Rates A BUSINESS MAN TELLS US WHAT'S THE MATTER. (By L. L. Fuller in Labor Press.) In a little town not a thousand miles from Portland, dwells a little business man. He owns a little store and also has a little job as postmas ter. One evening not long ago, a group of men, waiting for the arriv al of the mail, were discussing la bor troubles. After listening for a time, this lit tle business man joined the discussion with the remark: "Now, boys, if you will just listen to me a minute, I'll tell you just what's the matter. The average workingman is too shift less and extravagant. He spends ev ery cent he gets and then grumbles because, he don't get ahead. He tries to live too high, and does not keep within his income. If all worklngmen would be Industrious, and save their money, they would soon be all right, and these labor troubles would cease. "How much ought a man to save up from his earnings each week?" asked a stranger among the group. "Should he save all his wages, or one-half, or one-fourth, or one-tenth?" "Why, of course, he couldn't save all," said the little business man, "nor even one-half and probably one-fourth would be too much, but he could save one-tenth, and If everyone would do that regularly and stick to it, we would soon be all right." "Do you. really think so," asked the stranger. "There are thirty mil lion workers in the United States, earning on an average of about ten dollars a week each. If every one saves up one-tenth of his wages, or one dollar per week each, these workers would save up thirty million dollars In a week, one hundred and twen ty million dollars in a month, one bil lion five hundred and sixty million dollars in a year, and three billion one hundred and twenty million dol lars in two years, which Is more money than there . is In the United States. Now, tell me, please, how It would make everything 'all right' to withdraw from circulation and lay up every dollar in the United States? What would you do business on, my friend?" The Us'eners looked interested. The little business man gasped for breath partially recovered and stammered, "I did didn't say lay It all up and keep it layed up." "Beg your pardon," replied the stra ger, "but that Is exactly what you did say:. 'If every one would save up one-tenth of his money and stick to it, we would soon be all right!" "Well," said the little business man "If I did, I didn't mean it that way "Howdid you mean It, then? What would you have the working man, do with his money if he is not to con tinue saving it?' "Invest it In a home, the same as I did," said -the little business man, "and quit paying rent." , "When shall the worker buy his home?" asked the stranger, "at the end of the first week, when he has saved up one dollar, or at the end of the month, when he has saved up four dollars, or at the end of a year when he has saved up fifty-two dol lars, or shall he keep on saving It up for two years, till "all the money is layed up, and then buy an eight-room house and a couple of lots with the one hundred and four dollars he will then have?" The little business 'man was speech less. He winked hard and swallowed a lump in his throat. His face grew redder as the listening group grinned appreciatively and expectantly. "You started out to tell us just what is the matter," said the stran ger, "but you haven't done it yet. Are you one of those 'visionary and im practical dreamers' we read about? If every laboring man would do as you advise the entire business of this country would be paralyzed In less than two months. Your business) and that of others like you, deponds on the fact the average workingman. In stead of being lazy and improvident, Is Industrious to a hurtful degree far more industrious than those who criticize him. He loves his family more than he loves money, and tries to make his hard earned dollars bring to wife and children all the comfort and joy that he possibly can therefore he spends those dollars free ly, though not always wisely; and your business, my friend, depends absolutely on this fact." Just then the mail arrived and the little business man retired to distrib ute it. THE NEW ARRIVAL. The Greens had a new piano, and Eleanor was telling Mlldrvd and the girl across the street about it. 'What's the name of your piano?" Mildred in quired of the girl across the etreot. "Stein make," was the answer. 'The name of ours Is PU-kertng," said Mildred. 'Well, ours just came last night." piped Eleanor, "and we haven't nam ed it yet." B. R. In Woman's Home Companion for April, "I'm so run down that I can give no more tick," sighed the alarm clock.
