ANOTHER GRAND SURPRISE
We were awakened from our

six o'clock by a very urgent ring
of the telephone, ar.d sleepily;

street lights and he had no lights
on the car, he gracefully climbed
to hear the familiar voice of
"Farmer" Mitchell, who said he
had some good news but hardly
knew how to br ak it to us.
thinking that he was probably
going to subscribe for the New
Era for two or three of his dis-
tant relatives, we promptly said:
"Shoot it to us."
He did and it nearly knocked
us out. Here's what came to us
over the wire: "The stork left
a pound boy at our house last
night." Good lands! Who'd a
thought it?
We finally recovered enough
to ask him how everyone con-
cerned was getting along, and
found that the mother and babe
were doing nicely, but that it had
a peculiar effect on the "Farmer."
He said he was so swelled up that
he couldn't get his clothes on, so
had to work the roads barefoot-
ed. Hope he will recover soon.
LATER.—The "Farmer" was
so excited that he forgot to men-
tion that the baby was his grand-
son, and causcd us to form a
wrong conclusion.

the world's vernacular. With Spring
the desire to refurbish comes sub-
consciously into the hearts of men
and women, and communities. Hut
without direction and sustained effort
the expression of that desire, in the
form of the ordinary "Clean Up l)ay"
or "Week," is apt to result in a super-
ficial Hally against tilth.
Years ago Allen W. Clark, a St. Louis
editor, made up his mind that this
natural "Clean Up" instinct could be
turned to account, that it could be
developed into a real campaign work-
ing toward definite ideals and accom-
plishing permanent results. And so,
in May 1912, Mr. Clark founded the
National "Clean Up and Paint Up"

REVIVAL CLOSES

The protracted meeting that
has been going on at the Baptist
church closed last Sunday night.
Bro. Brown, a member of the
church here, held the introduc-
tory services of the meeting,
preaching of nights for ten or
twelve days.
Rev. (i. R West of Shawnee
did the regular preaching during
the revival. Bro. West is an
excellent gospel preacher.
I he visible results of the meet-
ing are the conversion of one
soul, the addition of one to the
church, and the clensing of the
local church.
At a business meeting of the
church held Saturday night after
the preaching service the church
withdrew the hand of fellowship
from five members The mem-
bers excluded were charged with
disorderly conduct.
Rev. W. B. Cummings, the
pastor of the local church, con-
ducted the singing service during
the revival, and preached at the
Saturday and Sunday services.

scope and practical in its principles,

"clean up day" or "week."
A National Civic Movement.
For four years the scope of the Na-
tional Bureau's service has rapidly ex-
tended until this year it is co-operat-
ing with more than 6,000 local com-
munities in the organization and di-
rection of real "Clean Up and Paint
Up" campaigns, not "days, or
"weeks." Continuous campaigns for
homes and hometowns beautiful, sani-
tary and safe, conducted by permanent
committees, and involving the co-op-
eration of city and town otllcials, club
women, commercial organizations, the
children, tire prevention interests, all
business men and property owners,
is the goal aimed at by all of the
1 National Bureau's propaganda.
Mr. Clark declares that the bane of
guests to the dining l'OOm, where | any community is the citizen who
they enjoyed the dainty refresh-! ,ncks eveu a semblance of interest in
the community, and that, strange as
ganization in St. Louis, With varlou*
adaptations this St. Louis plan has
been found practicable in nny city, no
matter how large or small.
The entire campaign is under the
direction of tlio Continuous St. Louis
"Clean Up and Paint Up" Campaign
Committee, of which Charles M. Tal-
bert, director of streets and sowers,
is chairman. On this committee are
various civic and business leaders, in-
cluding the leading club women of the
city.
Each member of the general com-
mittee is chairman of a subcommittee
responsible for some definite depart-
ment of tho campaign's activity. The
Director of Streets and Sewers ii
chairman of tho committee on "Kefuse
Clean-up," tho chief of the Fire De-
partment is chairman of the commit-
tee on lire prevention and the head
of tho Health Department is chair-
man of the committee on housing re-
form.
A partial list of these campaign
committees, with notation of some of
the objects of each follows:
Committees for the Work.
Street Department — Household
waste, permanent plan, improvement
of districts which will be center of

cratic Convention, smooth paving,

The City Council is talking of
prosecuting Massey for not hav-
ing lights on the car and sueing
him for damages done to the
lamp post, while Massey threat-
ens to sue the town for not hav-
ing street lights.
However, we notice that the
City Marshal is now driving the
blind" car, and it is the opinion
of p. 11. Christy that the town
has no case against Massey, be-
cause that car was always blind.
INMAN-SHARP
Wednesday, June 21st, Mr.
Terence Inman and Miss Letha
Sharp went to Chandler and at
2:30 p. m. County Judge Jarrett
spoke the words that made them
one.
The bride is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James Sharp, northeast

admired by all who live in that
neighborhood.
The groom is a carpenter by
trade and has been working in
the oil fields for about six
months. He is a brother of Mrs.
P. M. Imel.
The happy couple will leave to-

The date of the Nazarene Camp
Meeting has been changed from
August 10th to July 26th.
This meeting will be held in a
big tent and will be conducted by
the pastor, Rev. L. A, Bolerjack,
who will be assisted by a couple
of helpers.
Remember now, it starts July

it may seem in a democracy, absence
ol' this interest seems to be pretty gen-
erally prevalent in the average Ameri-
can community. Such a citizen would
have "The Town" or "The City," what-
ever those names may signify when
the body of citizens is eliminated,
keep tho streets and alleys clean, pre-
serve the public and individual health,
eliminate nuisances, make everything
in town spick and span and satisfac-
tory—while tho citizen 6lts back and
looks on.
Tho real "Clean Up and Paint Up"
campaign, organized on tho plans of
the National Bureau, gives everyone
something definite to do to help make
their hometown beautiful, sanitary
and safe. And the campaign's edu-
cational Influence should work stead-
ily the year round and year after
year, automatically eliminating many
nuisances caused formerly by careless-
ness or thoughtlessness of property
owners and tenants.
A Suggestion for Our Town.
Tho methods for accomplishing all
of this suggested by the National Bu-
reau are well illustrated by a brief de-
