Whereas, it is customary to set
i apart a day, or certain days, in
each year when the citizens of
'said towns shall cease from their
regular vacations and engage in
i the work of making more attrac
tive and healthful the thorough
fares and individual premises of
their respective communities.
Therefore, I, acting in coiijtme

the days beginning with the sth,
day or April and ending with the
12th day of April, 1915, shall be

the town of Locust Grove; and I
express the hope that we all may
enter unitedly,"and heartily into
these worthy labors for improv
ing the appearance and sanitary
conditions of the town in which
we live.
Signed, this, the 30th day of
March, 1915.

A Man's Recreation Creed
First, I will never patronize an
entertainment that brutalizes man
or shames a woman.
Second, I will always do some
part of my playing in the open air.
Third, I will not he merely a
lazy spectator of sport; 1 will taste
for myself its zest and thrill.
Fourth, I will a,roidover-amuse
ment as I pray that I may be sav
ed from overwork.
Fifth, I will choose the am use -
ments that mv wife can share.
Sixth, I will not spend Sunday
lin carin'* for my bodily pleasures
)so much that 1 forget my soul and
its relations to God’s kingd an.
Seventh. 1 will never spend on
pleasure money that belongs to
other aspects of my life.
Eighth, I will remember to en
joy a boy’s sports again when my
boy needs me as a chum.
Ninth, 1 will recollect that play
should be for the sake of my
mind as well as for my * body;
hence I shall not shun those
forms of entertainment that deal
with ideas
Tenth, I will never let play
serve as the end of existence, but
always it shall be used to make
me a better workman and a rich
er soul. —The. Front Rank.
