WHY NOT A CLEAN UP CLUB?
Spring will l>** with us again
very shortly now, and the question
of community beauty and sanita-
tion will come to the fore.
What’s the matter with having
a “Clean-Up” club in Tecumseh?
Why can’t we have an organiza-
tion of public spirited men and
women whose business it would be
to encourage the cleaning up and
beautifying of the town?
Such an organization would ac-
complish wonders in a short space
of time. We haven’t a citizen who
wouldn’t heartily co-operate in
such a movement; and many, once
it was under way, would go to
great lengths to out do others and
carry off the prize.
And a prize, we would suggest,
should be given not for the best
place, but for the one showing the
greatest improvement.
Sanitation is necessary to health
and we can ’t have sanitation with-
out cleanliness and cleanliness can
be produced only through the sys-
tematic cooperation of the entire
community.
We believe such a movement
would prove popular. Certainly
its benefits would be many and
far reaching.
This paper wants only one of-
fice in such a club—that of chief
booster.
WE WONDER?
If the numerous bridges and
culverts that have been built
by the present Board of County
Commissioners under the cost
plus plan, where the specifica-
tions call for a certain amount
of concrete in each bridge or
culvert, should be examined
and said bridges and culverts
were found to contain 1 1-2 or
2 inches, where 5 or !» 1-2 inches
was called for, how much loser
would the County be?
Think it over!
Senators Borah, Brandegee and
Sherman threaten to leave the Re-
publican party if Mr. Lodge does
not insist on bis destructive “res-
ervation” to the treaty of peace.
If there was any way to induce
these gentlmen to leave the Sen-
ate also the people would forgive
M r. Lodge many past offenses if
he forced that outcome.
---o—--
The “steering commitee” of
the Republican House of Repre-
sentatives is following the course
charted by Czar Cannon some
sixteen years ago, and is certain
to reach the same destination—
overthrow at the hands of insur-
gents.
—--o-
If any half-wit had been guilty
during the war of uttering the
slanders that Republican Con-
gressmen have been burling
against the Government since the
armistice he certainly would not
have been sent to the Senate or
the House of Representatives.
---o----
Thus far it has cost the taxpay-
ers $1,000,000 to have the Repub-
lican Congress ascertain that a
fighting force of 4,000,000 men is
a very expensive institution, but
well worth the mouey when it
triumphs in its work as the Amer-
ican Army and Navy did.
—. o-
A Chicago paper asserts that
the United States wants foreign
trade, but wants other countries
to have it also. How perfectly
delightful and charming! We
want the other fellow to have
what we want ourselves.

Plaintiffs.
It is not so much the difficulty
of getting the concurrence of
Democratic Senators as it is the
reconcilement of Republican fac-
tions in the Senate that prevents
headway toward a compromise on
the peace treaty. The Republican
“irreconcilables” are farther from
the Republican -“mild reserva-
tionists” than; tjhe Democrats are
from the latter.
One witness testifies that the
Republican “investigating” com-
mittee frequently got into a cul
re sae. That is French for “a
blind alley.” It was a fitting pen-
alty for wandering from the high-
way.
-o -------■—
Mr. Lodge is a versatile leader,
with ability to escort the “mild
reservaticnists” forward oue day
and accompany the “irreconcia-
hles ’ backward the next day
without turning a hair.

more on their fences this old

BE PREPARED
Owing to the continued rainy weather it looks like plow-
ing and planting was going to be very late this season, but now
is the time to buy the farming tools you will need.
Many Implement houses are already unable to fill orders
on some items and the scarcity of material, with slow freight
shipments, promises a serious shortage before the end of the
season.
We now have a good stock of plows, planters harrows
and cultivators in either of the celebrated Avery or Emerson
Lines. Also, the well known Twentieth Century Planters.

More Small Cars Come
With Goodyear Tires

IMMUIMMUirjnmiltUllUIIIIII
Last year, more small cars, using 30 x 3-,
30 x 3l/z'y or 31 x 4-inch tires, were factory-
equipped with Goodyear Tires than with
any other kind.
This is plainly a result of the high relative
value produced in these small-car tires by
Goodyear’s enormous resources and scrupu-
lous care.
They represent the same intense endeavor
to supply utmost satisfaction in tires that
has laid the basis for the marked preference
which exists everywhere for Goodyear Tires
in the larger sizes.
This real Goodyear value in tires is available
for your Ford, Chevrolet, Dort, Maxwell, or
other small car, at our nearest Service Station.
Go there for these tires and Goodyear Heavy
Tourist Tubes.
