' THURSDAY, SEPT. 13, 1917. CLEAN UP THE TOWN In less than two weeks the Oregon Annual Conference of the Methodist church will be gin its sessions in Springfield. This will be the biggest conven tion ever held in this city and we ought to prepare for it. It will bring more than 300 stran gers to Springfield who will re main here a week. Let ub look our best and put the town in as good a condition as pos sible. A town looks like its citizens. Is there anything wrong with ,'"youi-town? Are thebaclr lots filled-with rubbish? Jf- v-'" .-Xls,.there rubbish 'leading to exits that people would have to walk over? If there are any of these con ditions existing then there is something the matter with your town. If your tongue were coated, your back ached and you had chills, you would go to a doctor. You would go because you are sick. Your town is sick. It gets clogged up like your system and is coming to the only doctor it can come to. It is coming to you. People judge a town by its looks. If there have been fires in your town from moss on the roof from defective flues or from rubbish it is too bad. Property that could have been taxed and thus helped to reduce your burden, is beyond the pow er of taxation. Pood that could have been eaten is destroyed. Gold with all its alchemy can not substitute; it has purchas ing power; not food value. Clean up your town. It will mean dollars and cents to you. It may mean the saving of a life. Your own home may be de stroyed by the careless act of a neighbor. His homo is in the same dan ger as yours. Sunlight, fresh air and clean liness never start spontaneous combustion; lack of ventilation and accumulation of filth and dirt will. This is your town. You will live In it. jit la what you make it. Remove those unsightly and dangerous piles of rubbish. Clean up and fix up. This is your home town. OUR COUNTRY "And for your country, boy, and for that Ping, never dream a dream but of serving her as she bids you, even through tho service carry you through a thousand hells. No matter what happens to you, no matter who flatters you or who abuses you never look at another ring, nev er let a night pass but you pray God bless that flag. Remem ber, boy, that behind officers and government, ami people ev en, there Is the Country Her self; your Country, and that you belong to Her as you belong to your own mother. Stand by her, boy, as you would stand by your mother." Edward E. Hale. GIVE FAREWELL PARTY FOR YOUNG GIRL FRIEND A number o fthe young girls of Springfield gathered nt the homo of Dorrls Slkes Tuesday evening for a farewell party In honor of Carmen Harwood, who will move to Salem In a short tlmo.
