The Onward March of Civic Improvement In the last ten years there. has been a great improvement in the apjsoar- ance of Clinton. And between the Clinton of 1902 and the Clinton ^ of 1912 there is a difference in clean- liness so groat that the people who are here, to -day and were not here then can hardly realize. But there is plenty, of room for improvement even yet. And this is the period of the year that sets it forth emphatic- ally, -the wreck of the winter, the extra slant to tumbledown sheds; the straggle of the ash -heaps, the extra touchdournessof t in unpainted buildings. The Board of Health is- sued its annual notice to "cline up." That notice was ehibfly intended to make Clinton more sanitary. May we add a •few Mints gathered from different sources to assist iri making Clinton more beautiful, The Council has done nvuch'along this line on late years, and If it succeeds in making the streets more dustless, and keeps the weeds down a little more thor- oughly, will be doing its share fairly well. But the fndiv.ival eitizbn can dp most of all, after all, to forward the march of civic improvement. Not all proposed can be done in one or two seasons ; but a little advance each year will make a great differ- ence in even five years. The following hin,'s are, by Idle Mayors of Denver, Cot.:— If your store front, residence or fence is dingy, order it painted. elf your awning is old, 'ern or fad- ed, get a new one,' If your sidewalk, gate or fence needs repairing,, fix it. If your advertising signis old or faded, take it down, or paint it. Resolve never tel throw paper in the streets. Take all dandelions out of your lawn—they will spoil its beauty. Destroy the young weeds that are starting on your property and on your neighbor's property. Burn all the rubbish possible allow no one to throw it on streets, a1'leye or vacant -lots. Promise' not tospite on the side- walk. Organize a block improvement so- ciety, and allow no weeds to grow on o:devga:lk area or vacant proper- ty in your block.'; Ask' your milkman, grocery -men and expressmcn to have their waggons Irrespective of the size of your house, massing your lawn the finest.
