The Future of
Borger Is At Stake
Choosing of a mayor for
Borger is an all-important
task.
Commissioners Malone and
Pace, on whom this duty de-
volves with the resignation of
Mayor Miller, .will undoubt-
edly give deep consideration
to the matter. They will un-
doubtedly bear in mind that,
in the absence of an election
whereby the people of Bor-
ger may express their prefer-
ence, they must use particu-
lar care in selecting a man
Who will be acceptable to a
majority of the good citizens.
Mayor Miller cautioned them
of this matter in his admirable
telegram of resignation and
ko. commissioners, having
the good of theit city first at
heart, cannot do otherwise.
To select a man who is not
acceptable will throw Borger
back into the turmoil of civic
strife from which the city is
now, with such great confu-
sion, attempting to emerge.
The two commissioners are
wise in asking that citizens
refrain from flooding them
with petitions and recommen-
dations for men for the of-
fice of chief executive of the
city. However, it would be
well for the commissioners to
get the opinion of representa-
tive citizens of Borger before
making a definite selection.
Dr. Malone and Mr. Pace will
recognize this to be true, and
are probably today taking
such steps. Their's is a difficult
task, on which much of the
future prosperity of this city
depends.
Stability of the municipal
government of Borger is re-
- quisite before the city can
make much needed civic im-
provements. Paving, sewers,
water, health, ali these things
wait until the turmoil has sub-
sided. If a fresh turmoil en-
sues as u result of the appoint-
ment of a mayor who is not
acceptable to the good people
of Borger, all plans for pro-
gress, as far as the municipa-
lity is concerned, must, go into
the discard.

The race Is on. Three prominent
'Borger citizens have uncerlmon-
lously announced candidacy for the
office of mayor of Dixon Creek ad-
dition, and the mud-slinglng has
already started despite our efforts
to side-track such purported aims.
Hackberry Slim Joluidon and Art
Laird, who are candidates running
against tfie author, today hurled
challenges at each other for mer-
cenary motives only, opening a
heated campaign for the mayorall-
ty. Art Laird challenged Mr. John-
son to a joint debate, and Mr.
Johnson came back with, "Name
the joint and I'll be thore." Then
the tight started. As the scene
of teh battle was laid in Jim- and
Dave's Barbecue stand, which is
adjacent the Laird drug store, meat
cleavers, knives and forks came in-
to play, causing a near riot. Each
claimed the other was ineligible
as candidate, due to the fact that
they have not had residence of
sufficient length in that section of
the city, although Mr. Johnson in-
sisted he was the man who had
•ti i It the hills surrounding that ad-
dition. Laird threatened a forced
resignation on Johnson, while the
latter announced he would open in-
vestigation ut once. More might
have happened but the author
merely smiled and advised all con-
cerned that he would not be a par-
ty to such methods of campaign-
ing, conducting his drive along le-
gitimate lines only, and thereby ex-
posflig the political graft of Laird
and Johnson.

Ijyial threatening each instant
to tear its way through ad-
ditional towns In the one-time hap-
py valley, the American Red Gross
finds Itself face to face with prob-
ably the greatest relief problem of
the past century.
The President of the United
States has actively participated in
mobilizing governmental agencies
and resources to assist the Red
Cross In its relief program. On
April 22, following the custom In
previous disasters of the first mag-
nitude, ho Issued a proclamation
calling upon the people to sub-
scribe to the Red Cross relief fund.
This be did In his capacity as
President of the United States and
President also of the Red Cross,
lie fo/owed this action with the
appoit.iment of a special commit-
toe trim hts Cabinet, comprising
Dwlgh'l F. Davis, Secretary of
War; lyurtls D. Wilbur, Secretary
ot Um Wavy; Herbert C, Hoover.
Secretary of Commerce, and An-
drew W. Mellon, Secretary of the
Treasury, to work In conjunction
with Red Cross officials. At the
flr*t meeting ot this committee
with the Red Cross acting chair-
man, James L. Kieaer, and others,
It was decided that a minimum of
$5,000,000 will he needed to take
care of the flood sufferers.
The disaster was reported to ex-
ceed In proportions the Florida
hurricane of last fall, when the
roster ot homeless was 80,000. It
differs In that there Is huge total
ot dead and wounded. In this case,
however, there Is no definitely cut
out.problem as In Florida, for the
elements hafe not finished their
havoc. Whether the waters will
start to recede within a few weeks
or whether they will continue to
rise Indefinitely, sweeping addi-
tional houses down to the sea and
engulfing additional acres of farm-
lands and villages, cannot be fore-
seen.
Henry M. Baker, ¡national direc-
tor of dlsMter relief tor the Red
Cross, has been made dictutor of
the Mississippi Valley with the
powers of a general In war. Head-
quarters of the relief corps Is at
Memphis Tcnn., where llasou offi-
cers of the Army, Navy, Commerce
Department, Coast Guard, Public
Health Service and Veterans' Ru-
reau are working In conjunction
with Mr. Fleser, Secretary Hoover,
Major Genera) Jadwin, chief of
army engineers, and Dr. William
R. Redden, medfeal advisor for the
Red Cross in Memphis, to assist In
the gigantic program.
Relief funds are beginning to
come in to National Red Cross
headquarters In Washington and
to chapter headquarters In every
state and all that It Is humanly
possible to do is being dope for the
refugees. Quotas have been as-
signed to the chapters and 3,000 of
these are collecting funds. Prior
to leaving for Memphis, Chairman
Rleser expressed* his be.lef that
the American people wlllaupond
generously to the appeals the
flood aufferera.

Retke turned to the man, viewed
him with Ilery eyes, and flared,
"Who do you moan?" Then came

Mrs. Retke told that gentleman

interested in the Unlit in the ring,
