quito campaign has borne good re-
sults and there is but little evidence
of mosquito depredations in town. A
waterpipe leak in the downtown dis-
trict'was discovered this week. The
water had gravitated into the con-
crete gutter and was found to con-
tain wiggletails. Co-operation of the
public is needed to keep down a mos-
quito plague and everyone is request-
ed to make known to the city commis-
sion any pool or stagnant water that
might furnish a breeding place for
mosquitoes. Witness the following
from the Abilene Reporter: "We need
an organized campaign against the
mosquito. That pesky insect is
abroad in unprecedented numbers,
and is dealing misery to the inhabi-
tants of Abilene. The mosquito can
be put out of business with an organ-
ized campaign against breeding
places."
