SKUNK BUSINESS
Seeing the plight of the Dallas
householder who has -a pole cat
living under his house, and sym-
' pathizing with him in his problem
t about how to evict the unwelcome
tenant without calamitous results,
« we offer without charge oar
. „
geation for the elimination. • As
follows: Get a twelve gauge shot-
gun and load it with one cartridge;
bird shot will be fine, but any
kind of shot will serve; then find
your pole cat, draw in fine bead
1 pull 4the
trigger as hard as you can. The
TfolsyT but noF smelly,
as we can attest from highly sim-
ilar experience.
SERVICE TO PEOPLE
ought to make some laws that
would protect the vast body of
the American people. There ought* 'of General Omar Bradley who
to be enough of them willing to
take the consequences of their con-
sidered actions, asd Jf a vote for
their conciences and the coram®
welfare costs them their public
offices, to retire to private life
with the feeling that they have
served honestly in the charge the
people gave them. After all they
didn't win election to office by
offering to hold , office forever,
but by proposing, to ^serve the in-
terests of the people who elected
them. 1891
- J AT COST INSURANCE \
The announced campaign of
South Plains ftisurance men to
urge ex-service men to retain their
National Service Life insurance
might look a little unreasonable
to one who-does not know the
facts. But life insurance men are
honestly, co-operating with the
government to convince the ' vet;
erans that their government in-
surance it the best and cheapest
they can find. We remember from
the last war . that no insurance
salesman ever even hinted JtHaTh .
particular policy.would he better ..as^Yfeg_
bad management at the hospital
situation for veterans at thedqor
heads the Veterans Adminstra-
tion. Stelle says we need a sea-
sonde business man at the head of
Veterans affairs. We believe that.
There are no doubt a great many
such men in the army, and among
our generals even. But we don't
know whether General Bradley
can qualify or not. But we are
hot willing to see any man of
whatever "military achievement
make a mess of the debt America
owe to sick and wounded and dis-
abled veterans. If Bradley is not
getting the Job dope, let's have
somebody else.
