ALL CITIZENS URGED TO HELP. MAKE CITY BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN

WET WEATHER RESPONSIBLE FOR RAPID OAT AND WHEAT GROWTH, SAY EXPERTS

Monday marked th opening of "Clean-Up Week" in the city of Richmond. Members of the city council, the board of works and Mayor Handley have expressed their support of the movement. In a statement Issued Mon

day Mrs. F. W. Stephens, who heads partment at

the "Clean Up" committee of the Aftermath club, calls upon the citizens to .back this movement which is receiving the co-operation of the Junior Red Cross as well as other organizations. The statement follows: "Comfort it is to say Of no mean city am I." The Civic Improvement Association of America in 1910 enrolled as members ' those who had advocated the "clean-up" movement in Richmond. We trust we are worthy to keep a place In

that list.

In this campaign we hope the city

will discover anew that it is laboring i etles, 6ays Prof. J. B. Park, head of the

oat and wheat crops axe Jeellng the effects of the extremely wet weather this spring, according to -experts at Ohio State university. C. J. Williard of the farm crops de-

the university declares

that at the present rate at growth, the wheat crop will produce as great an amount of straw as In 19313. and a small amount of grain. During the last two w ks wheat has been making an extremely rapid growth, especially in central and southern Ohio, Williard said. Weather conditions have been such as to cause a very heavy vegetative gtrowth, according to WilliardThe delay in oats seed ng which has been brought by heavy spring rains, i3 a problem which Ohio farmers may

solve by sowing earlier maturing vari-

for its own benefit, duty doing citizens,

transmitting our city as did Athens of old to those who follow a greater, better, more beautiful place than wa3 transmitted to us. Our attitude proclaims us. The man who knocks his own town should more. "It's a poor bird that fouls its own nest." Would that Richmond might at this time perceive her advantage in the clean-up enterprize and all citizens .heartily invite their energies in one concerterd effort to improve the-appearance of our city. The value of clean streets is aesthetic as well as hygienic. Beauty Is as clearly the resident's right as is the health of the community and the safety of its property. . "The industrial can never be finally triumphant till it has made the artistic

its ally." Treat nothing that affects external apearance as too insignificant for notice. Love of beauty has a root in us and prows by absorbing from our surroundings. City uplift by cleanliness and beauty is good business. ; Fortunately beauty can not be kept for the exclusive use of the owner. A city foul and ugly stunts where it does not defile, degrades where it does not ruin the character of the people. We need the fire of civic patriotism till physical and moral cleanliness supplant filth and graft. Agreeable surroundings tie a man's devotion to his city's welfare. This is plain common sense not sentiment There is no soul so starved that it does not feel the ennobling, uplifting influence of -beauty. The city beautiful becomes the moral city. We covet for Richmond a training to know and love beauty and. order and to make them law in home and street and city.

FULL SPEED AHEAD IN SPRING PLOWING IN COUNTY, REPORT

Spring plowing In Wayne county Is progressing full speed with the favor

able weather, all farmers exerting

every effort to catch up with the two

weeks delay caused by the long con

tinued wet spell.

'Saturday was the dullest day for

farmers' vlsts to this office since I have come to the county," said J. L.

Dolan, Wayne county agricultural agent, Monday. "All the farmers were

in the fields, and the half dozen who did come in were compelled only by

some inescapable reason. '

"We are running two tractors, said

Richard Sedgwick, of Richmond, who

owns farm lands in Randolph county.

just below Economy. "We expect to run them at night also, keeping two forces of men busy, in order to catcjl

up.

Late plowing also -will be the rule

on the Crowder farm In Center town

ship. Theodore Crowder, operator of

the farm, which is owned by Mrs.

Anna Beeson, of Richmond, expects to

put in a good deal of overtime until

the two weeks' delay is wiped out.

All his neighbors are hard at work, and he may help some of them out

witn his tractor.

Mr. Weadick has been plowing

since Thursday,- said Mrf. Charles,

Weadick. of Webster township. This

neighborhood has a type of son that drains readily and dries out quickly, so that the Webster community is a little ahead. "The ground Is a little wet yet In places, but we are catching up with the work. We expect to make garden this afternoon. In Boston township plowing started Saturday, according to a report from the Dan Lashley farm on the Fouta road. Ground Is drying rapidly and farmers are working hard to get tho full acreage plowed, as they are far behind with the work. ' From the Lashley farm also comes an early garden report, Mrs. Lashley stating that early garden plantings are

showing above ground. In very few

cases nas spring garden been put in,

and most are just beginning. The Lashleys took advantage of a few-

hours between rains some time ago.

Beating rains have damaged the plow land, says Ed Hunt, of Ablnrton

township. "The land is badly run to

gether," he states, "and turning it in

places is almost like plowing a road.

We do not have a very large acreage to plow and will get It done in time, but everyone, lncludin gourselves. are

working late to get through. In some

places it is really too wet to plow

yet."

What probably is apparently the

earliest field of corn to be planted In

Wayne county is reported from Cen

ter township, where Ernest Tremps, living southwest of Centerville, has a

iieia wmcn ne nas just finished.
