To clean up and beautify moans added health and happiness. Do away with rubbish and dirt and in a great measure you will banish disease. You will make your home and your city safer by reducing the fire hazard. You will add to the beauty of your surroundings. You will encourage your boys and girls toward higher ideals of life. You will make them want to stay home when the home is comfortable and attractive. Lincoln said: "I like to see a man pround of the place he lives in." We can not be proud of our homes and our surroundings unless they are clean and healthful. They can be made so if all will do their part. It is a cooperative task in which all should heartily join. Not only every individual citizen, but every club, society and organization can do its part. A few clenn and orderly homes in a select residence district can never safeguard the entire community. A single filthy home, dirty back yard, or a stagnant pool may easily become the source of an epidemic of fatal diseases that will sweep the city. A trash pile in the slums may start a general conflagration. " From a very small and almost forced beginning the Granite Furniture company In our town has forged ahead with rapid strides until today we have as commendable a showing of furniture as con Je found In any town In the country of twice our size.

For the first two years of their life In Murray deliveries were made from the main store at Sugar House, and only samples were shown In Murrsy, but now a complete warehouse st'sk Is carried In Murray, and they have their own delivery truk from the Murray Institution, and are employ-ployin- g i ieop!e, all from our own coms The Murray City Mayor and City Commissioners will give the following In the districts where the prizes to the school, for home and school clenn-u- p school Is located.
