From all over the United State*
locies reports of tho work of civic
societies in cleaning up aud planting
flower* in vacant lots. A St. Louis
teicgram of the Sth says:
"A movement for civic beauty has
been launched here by the "clean
up and paint-up campaign bureau,"
which plans to make a campaign for
municipal and rural adornmen
throughout the United States.
Recently the Dally Alaskan print
ed the Minneapolis scheme for the
utilization of vacant lots in raising
vegetables and flowers. Now St
Paul has taken up the movement. At
a recent meeting of the civic club in
the capital city of Minnesota, Mayor
Herbert P. Keller had this to say:
As Mayor of St. Paul I wish to
add my emphasis to the emphasis al
ready put on the importance of mak
ing and keeping St. Paul clean.
"1 would emphasize particularly
one feature of the city-wide clean-up
plan outlined at the large and sig
nificant dinner at the Commercial
club last Wednesday evening.
"That is the method by which the
vacant lots may be rid of their un
sightly, disease-breeding and other
wise offensive accummulatlons of
"It won't be difficult to get this
cleaning d.fie if the citizens will fol
ic w the suggestions made by the
publicity committee at the clean-up
dinner. It would be especially easy
for the commercial clubs and im
provement associations to do it.
'I ) cse organizations havo done a
feat deal for the development of
their respective districts. They can
do nothing more important than to
clt-an up the vacant lots.
"The plan (a simple and practi
cal one) is for each organization to
appoint ,i committeeman for each
street or section of street? one who
Is Interested personally la the condi
tion of th'ngs there. He should
pick several assistant* along that
street, and they should urge all res
idents to take advantage of tho op
portunity to get their rubbish haul
ed away by tho city without charge.
"But moro important than this is
the cleaning of tho vacant lots. If
the local commercial clubs can ap
pripriate money to hire a cleaning
crow to go through the district and
clean all (ho vacant lots, it will be
a simple matter. But if thoy can't
do that, here Is the alternative:
"Lot the committeeman go down
"he street and ask tho residents und
I usinessmtit to each chip in a quar
ter or half a dollar, and with that
money hire men to clear off every
vacant lot on tho street. The cloan
ii g is the only expense, for If too
rubbish is piled In the alleys 011
s> -.edule time, the city wagons will
haul It away.
*'It should be easy to find men in
each district who have at heart the
best interests of their district and of
the city, who realize that cleanliness
besides adding to tho pleasure of Uv
?ng, increases property values aii<l
helps wonderfully to advertise th'
district and the city.
"These men can do wonders in
thv clean-up work If they will ex
ert themselves, each doing but n
frw hours' work.
And, as William Canby said at
the dinner tho other night, when it
is all over and St. Paul is being ad
virttsed as tho cleanest city of it*
slzo in the United States, all the
workers will look back on their
small individual efforts and regard
fhem as "a ploasant dream." *'
"But the work must preceed the
dream; I hope every citizen will

way to freshen salt mackerel and other
