To the Public:—The Governor o f the State o f Oregon, in his wisdom, has issued his proclama tion, setting aside the week com mencing on the 4th. and ending on the 11th. o f May, 1915, as “ Clean up week,” and the under signed, as the “ Civic Improv- ment Committee” o f the Cottage Grove Commercial Club, deeming it advisable and timely to call the attention o f the public, generally, to the matter, very respectfully make the following suggestions along the line o f civic improv- ment, and the betterment o f the sanitary conditions o f the city o f Cottage Grove. We suggest that the Mayor o f the city be petitioned to issue a proclamation, setting aside the week commencing May the 4th. 1915, and ending May 11th. 1915, as “ Clean up W eek” in Cottage Grove, and that during the said week, all the people engage earnestly in the matter o f clean ing up and beautifying the city. We feel that every citizen o f the town should become interest ed in this matter and should be stir themselves in the direction o f improving the sanitary con- diton and the attractiveness o f the locality in which they live, and particularly their respective homes and their surroundings. There is now pending before the Common Council o f the city, petitions asking that tody to enact and rigidly enforce ordi nances upon the follow ing sub jects: The prohibition o f dogs running at large, the Drevention o f spit ting upon the sidewalks, leaving rubbish and filth in the alleys, the eradication o f the fly pest by exterm inating their b r e e d in g places, the covering o f garbage cans, removal o f manure heaps and the extermination o f rats, and other kindred subjects.

He was proud. Then a wave o f remorse came over me it was the “ thou shalt not kill” that is hurried deep in every sane man’ s mind and heart. “ I got a German,” I shouted to a soldier nearby. I told him how the man had been standing there, holding a board. “ Did he have a rifle?” asked the soldier. “ Why. no,” I said. “ And you shot an unarmed man?” “ I had direct orders,” I an swered. I fe lt like a dog. It seemed to me that I must find some human being who would say that I had done right. 1 told another soldier alxmt it. “ Served him right,” said the soldier. “ H e’d have done the same thing to you.” Those were splendid words for me. I had slouched along the trench before I met him. A fte r that I held up my h*>ad. But the two feelings the pride and the remorse fought in my mind. A t last I told it all to an oid legion soldier.
