ROAD WORK
Withiiv the . next two mon-
th* ui all probability rains will
sot in in. this vicinity. With
those rains, holes will start
developing on the roads lead-
in's in all directions and in
the streets ot Border.
The snow and rain of the
past two weeks have softened
road beds and heavy busses
and trucks have cut deep ruts.
Several of the streets here are
in bad condition.
Borger streets and the roads
leading into the city have
been in better shape this win-
ter than ever before. The
streets, as a whole, have been
smoother and a credit to a city
no older than Borger, and it
is up to Borger to keep them
in condition.
Gravel is being placed on
Sixth street today and doubt-
less very soon the rest of the
streets will be gone over while
the moisture still remains to
permit the surface to be easily
smoothed.
When a visitor conies into
a city the first thing which he
notices is the streets and side-
walks. Subconsciously the
passer-by brands a city by the
type of thoroughfares, provid-
ed fdr its people. This win-
ter Borger might well be
proud of her achievements in
this respect.. Through the
summer months Borger should
: till be proud of her thorough-
fares and on March 8, the
dstte of the second anniver-
sary celebration, visitors
should be shown the achieve-
ments of Borger on streets in
as good condition as it is pos-
sible to make them.

THE CIRCUS CRY
The old cry of the irctia
clown is known to every fol-
lower of the performances.
"The show must go on," i.s the
ttlopan which hart grown out
ol' the sawdust pits until it is"
now. pride and honor to actor.s.
Their slogan Ls applicable to
.very individual who takes'
life seriously.
The clown may not feci
like acting funny. The wire
walker may be nervous, but
an audience has paid admis-
sion to see a show. Great
bills have advertised the
"Greatest Circus on Earth" is
coming to town. The actor
paints over the pallor of his
i'ace and waits his turn to ap-
pear. The slogan is ringing
in his ears, "The show must
go on."
If man is human, there al-
Ways comes an hour in life
when the sky seems black in-
stead of blue, and he feels
h« would like to leave it all
and begin anew. A miner
gets in debt because of illness
in his large family. He would
like to leave his responsibility
and go out in the world and
experience pleasure which he
feels could be his for the ask-
ing. In the midst of his un-
reasonable plans, an unknown
force checks him. It is like
the ovice of the circus clown
and it says "The Show Must
Go On."
A feeling of responsibility,
similar to the feeling the
clown has for his profession,
guides and directs mankind
through many byways in the
path to success which are
sometimes as dark as night.
