Women Working lor Their Town.
The following from the St: Clair
County, Missouri, Republican, is
deemed good enough for reproduc
tion in the Leader:
The women’s club of Boonville
is working for the town beautiful
and is having these resolutions
printed in the papers and read in
the schools: “ For the honor and
glory o f Boonville. Let us not
kill or injure any bird or destroy
any bird’s nest or the young. Let
us not throw or sweep into the
street, alleys or parks, any paper,
fruit skin or rubbish of any kind;
or throw any o f these things
upon the floor of any school or
other public buildings.
Let us
not spit upon the sidewalks, street
crossing or upon the floor of the
school or any other public building.
Let us not cut or mark in any way,
fences, poles, sidewalks or build
ings of any kind. Let us always /
keep our backyards clean and
beautiful as we keep our front
lawns. Let us at all times respect
the property of others as we would
our own. Thus shall we become
good and useful citizens, making
our city beautiful and worthy of
our love and devotion.”
