Fatal Pestilence
0 . When guns bark on Dixon
street, and one man, or two,
t.falls dead, there is much fu-
?}*ore raised. And rightly so.
Lives of men are not play-
-Cjthiilgs to be snuffed out at
~W pleasure by murderers.
When men are shot down,
*■{ that is called'murder.
What will we call it if pest-
ilence, borne on t^he hot sum-
mer winds which: tvíII sweep
**, Borger soon, carries death to
Ér hundreds from the unsanitary
** surface toilets which, fok most
K of Borger, takes the place of
modern plumbing?
Doctors say that the ty-
phoid which hit Borger last
year was one of the most vir
ulent forms known, and that
if conditions are not bettered
before warm weather arrives,
it may become epidemic
again.
Officials should consider
what this will mean to the
thousands who hive close to-
gether on the hills of thi<s big
oil town.
If the sewer construction
JrJxrt^Z he.M up—and
in anyk-efwe it ma£ not be pos-
sible to have modern sewer
connections installed in time
for this summer—-other and
temporary sanitary arrange-
ments must be made at once.
A city ordinance should be
worked out providing for reg-
ular scavenger service, and for
regular disinfection, in con-
nection with the surface
toilets.
Otherwise disaster and
death is in prospect; and the
responsibility for this will
rest with those who could have
forestalled it.

The boys and-'■iris were fright-
fully busy all tlw tugh the session,
answering const aents and others

assertion that the senator or con-
gressman was studying the meas-
ure .carefully with the best inter-
ests^ of the home .folks ever in
mind.
Theoretically, they would have*
a chance to stop for breath follow-
ing the lamented demise of that
last Congress, but actually they"
have enjoyed nothing of the sort.

writing to learn what became ot
the Norbeck Meed-grain loan bill
for benefit of drougbt sU'lcken re'

tact that C6ngres8 voted to appro*

when the deficiency bill was fill'
blistered to death.
Numerous other appropriations
similarly failed of provision and
pensioners and other beneficiaries
are frantically communicating
with their representatives to find

ments of government were more

Work so tough is that, 1n mafty in-
stances, the departments don't
know just how they're going to
operate in the particular respect
which the deficiency bill would
have covered. The first days oí
figuring were rather chaotic.
It appears that the folks back
home lose track of nearly every-
thing thatfgoes on here in the last
few days *>f a session, and then
depend on the senatorial and con-
gressional offices to give them a,
fill-in. A surprising number ot)

port wasj only made at the last

among the most briliant generals of

thrown away his saber for a butch-

sausage manufacturing business.
"Some of my friends may think
I have gone to the dogs when they
hear I am engaged in this business,"
laughed the general when it was
discovered he was the owner and
proprietor of a ham and sausage fac-

ROCHESTER, N. Y. March 24.—
(AP)—Skipped, a gray tomcat of
unknown parentage, is in revolt
against the most sacred conventions
of select feline circles.
For 'Skipper enjoys a dip in the
bathtub, preferably when the water
is not too deep for him to touch
bottom. But depth has no terrors
for Skipper when his favorite toy,
a pdune, is dangled at the water's
surface from a string. He will go
wading any time of his own accord,
but he will plunge in to get the
prune.

she will not make the chapeau for
those it docs not become. The bon-
net has the effect of being pushedi
off the forehead, giving the v/ear-

ties are pathetic in their pleas for
one of the head coverings, which
naturally have become the rage.,
