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.
