GLEAN UP; PAINT UP April 28 to Mjr I Hm llern Deslg. tin tol 1ln-up and Palnt-up Week" In Alliance VOll A C'LKAKKlt ALLIANCE A mcetlDK of the cItIc committee of the Commercial Club met last Friday night, and at this meet ln It was definitely decided to hold a "clean-up and palnt-up week" In Al liance. Accordingly a definite pro gram haa been arranged, and the date set la the week of April 26 to May 1. Monday will be "front yard day"; Tuesday, "fire prevention day"; Wednesday, '"Palnt-up day"; Thurs day, "repair day"; Friday, back yard day", and Saturday, "vacant lot day". Thus It will be seen that ev ery department has been given one day on the program. The necessity for a general clean up has been seen for some time, and action was taken by the civic com mittee Just as soon as it was seen that weather conditions would be favorable. The Alliance Woman's Club, the city council, fire depart ment and board of education have pledged their co-operation with the Commercial Club, and with these or ganizations behind the project, and with the co-operation of every citi zen, the effect will be everything that is desired. Alliance has a reputation of being one of the best little cities In the state, and to preserve this reputation we must continue our efforts In the cleaning up line. While the town Is generally clean, there is neverthe less a great amount of rubbish and unslghtllness over town which should be eliminated, and every cit izen should be on hand 'bright and early the morning of the 26th pre pared to do his part in carrying out the proposed program. It Is proba ble that there Is not a yard In town which does not need cleaning, possi bly not very much of It, but be It large or small. It should be done at once. A pile of tin cans offers the best of breeding places for flies and other Insects, and If these were re moved on cleanup day, there would be a material decrease in the amount of files this summer. It Is not gen erally known, but a female fly killed at the beginning of her existence means nearly a million files killed later on in the summer. With this knowledge. It seems that every citi zen would do his best to remove trash from his yard and fill In the low .places. A trip over town will convince anyone of the necessity of a palnt-up day. Not only does this condition exist in the residence district, but In the business district us well. It Is Eufe to state that there are a hun dred residences that not only need, but require, a coat of paint. The cost of paint Is almost nothing com pared with the Improvement in the appearance of a building, and It also Increases the value of the place a considerable amount If the owner de sires to sell it. If Alliance ta to be the "city beautiful" It is necessary that a: liberal amount of paint be used. Many of the business build ings have a "rusty" appearance In front, and these give a stranger a rather unfavorable Impression of the business district. Only the other day a business man remarked that he would like to see every business building in town repainted this spring. It is urged that during the clean up week, in both the business and residence districts, all waste paper and other loose trash be piled up and burned, preferably In concrete or brick burners, which can be In stalled at a nominal cost, and which will last a lifetime. This will re move all fire hazards. It Is also asked that people will not confine their cleaning to the yards, but that they will remove rubbish from their basements and outhouses. Thursday has been designated as "repair day", and on that date peo ple are asked to remove old build lngs, sidewalks, repair fences and outbuildings, and haul away the trash. Friday is "back yard day", and that Is when the alleys and yards will be cleaned, rubbish and garbage removed. Saturday Is "va cant lot day", when the vacant lots over town will receive treatment. The Commercial Club and all oth er organizations are lending every ef fort toward accomplishing the best results during clean-up week, and It is hoped that no citizen will neglect his duty, and will do his share of the work, for the desired result cannot and will not be accomplished unless all work together for a cleaner Alii ance. blocks were treated. This plan Is now In operation In Kansas City, St. Paul and other Minnesota cities, and Is said to be much more Inexpensive. At Lincoln recently a side street was cut down from 100 feet to 35 feet, and Information was received here to the effect that the new plan serves Just as well as the old one. If they can get along with 35 feet on one of their principal streets. It would seem that Alliance could do very well with 67 feet. The effect produced by this meth od is said to be very pleasing. The parkage Is In an oval shape, planted to blue grass and shade trees, each block containing an oval, so to speak. The parkage would be kept In excel lent condition at all times, and would extend from the depot up Box Butte avenue, which would produce an un usual sight, and other cities in this part of the state would probably pat tern after the plan. It Is not an ex periment at all, as It has been tried successfully by other cities In other states, and they recommend It as a city beautlfier and also because or the material reduction It makes in price. Vehicles would be compelled to use the correct side of the street, and there would be no turning around in the middle of a block, thus eliminat ing many of the accidents which now happen, or might happen to pedes trians and other vehicles when traf fic Is heavy. Secretary Fisher has secured con siderate Information regarding this method of paving, and the commit tee In charge is investigating the matter further, as the plan appeals to them as a saving to the taxpayers, and one that would serve Alliance even when It Is several times Its present size.

The Sheridan papers contained an account of her exploits In that city, the principal one being to run to a man on the street and throw her arms about his neck, begging him to protect her from the authorities. They found the same conditions as did the. Alliance authorities and thought It would be a good riddance to start her on her way. DO YOUR SWATTING EARLY spring female fly may amount to hundreds or even thousands before the end of summer, hence the im portance of doing your swatting ear ly, as expressed In the following lines by Uncle Walt Mason: "The early fly's the one to swat. It comes before the weather's hot, and sits around and flies its legs, and lays at least ten million eggs, and every egg will bring a fly to drive us crazy by and by. Oh, every fly that 'scapes the swatters will have five million sons and daughters, and countless first and second cousins, and aunts and uncles, scores of doz ens, and fifty-seven billion nieces; so knock the blamed thing all to pieces. And every niece and every aunt un less we swat them so they can't will lay enough dodgasted eggs to fill up ten five-gallon kegs, and all these eggs, ere summer hies, will bring forth ewtnty trillion flies. And thus it mp. an endless chain, so all our swatting is In vain, unless we do that swatting soon, In Maytime and in early June. So men and brothers, let us rise, gird up our loins and swat the flies. And sisters, leave your cozy bowers, where you have wasted golden hours; with ardor In your souls and eyes, roll up your sleeves and swat the flies." HERALD WANT ADS PAT.

Came Here from KlierMan Claim She Has llelatlves In NYvv Mrt, Kentucky To be found In the depot talking loudly and making herself generally disgusting to those in the waiting room, and then to be taken to the city jail and locked in the woman's ward, was the experience of a woman who gave no name, but who was af terward Identified as Trlxle Sing, last Friday morning. On her person was found a complete "dope" outfit. The woman came here from Sher idan, Wyoming, the authorities at that place buying her a ticket this far toward her destination, which she claimed to be Newport, Kentuc ky, where she also claimed she had relatives. At the station she told of her experiences In a wild west show, and that the show had gone broke somewhere In the northwest, and that she was forced to make an ap peal for help. After she was locked In the city holdover, she began a series of moanings over her fate, and most of the time stood at one of the back windows, beating upon the bars and shouting to passersby to help her. One man was rather startled and Bur- prised when she called to him to bring her some tobacco; that she wanted a cigarette. Her finger tips bore out the testimony that she was also a cigarette fiend. The authori ties finally summed up her condition, finding that In addition to being a dope and cigarette fiend, she used whiskey and was slightly Insane. They agreed that there was nothing wrong with her besides these minor tendencies.

As the streets are 72 feet wide, this plan, if carried out, would leave 28 h feet on each side. There are several reasons for the consideration of this plan. One Is the cutting in the cost of paving, an other is the fine effect which would be produced, and another Is that au tomobiles and other vehicles would be compelled to make their turns at the end of the streets, thus eliminat Ing the probability of accidents when they make a turn half way between streets. The difference in cost bHween the parkage plan and p-iving tln full 72 feet amounts to $50 a lot, or $12"" a block, which, it must be admitted, would be great saving when several ralli-il it PrrtorU. . .. ... from one to five att.uka in U houra.
