BOOST FOB YOUR OWN TOWN
We are pretty weU satisfied
with the bunch of men we have
hero, Joy they are no worse than
those the Lord wished off pn
folks at otfcgfeptaue^. In fact,
we like the town and all the
folks, and if we had not rather
live here than elsewhere, we
would buy a ticket to Elsewhere
tomorrow.
To us there Is nothing more
tiresome than a man running
down the 'town where he lives
and has property. After all, the
town to made up of you’s and I’s.
and when you criticize the town
In which you live you are be-
meanlng yourself. We heard a
man say this week that so and so*
would never come to pass In Mul-
Un, and If every citizen were of
the same spirit as he was. natu-
rally it would not. But thank
the Lord they are not.
We still maintain that a busi-
ness to just as big as the man or
woman at the head of It, and a
town Is just as good as Its citi-
zens.
If you think this Is the best
town you ever lived In and has
the best folks, then when you
move you will find the same
kind of folks and town In your
new location. And If you think
the folks here are liars and
thelves, and this to the worst
town In the world, then >hen
you move, that Is exactly the
kind of folks and town you will
find at the end of the trek.—Ex.
ARMISTICE DAY
Armistice Day always brings
back to the older people, a keen
memory of the gnat rejoicing
and happiness when the World
War was over.
Bells rang, crowds gathered,
be it in cities, metropolis, or tiny
hamlet, there was a unison of
hearts and overwhelming grati-
tude to the Groat Redeemer.
Our boys were oomlng home. The
young boys In training would
not have to make the sacrifice.
Over and over you could Mar
the good nMit.
Many Gold star Mothers,
though bowed with grief from
tears over Pbrnden
tMbr eons reefed, to

BRYAN BRADBURY PROPOSES
UTILITIES COMMISSION
We glean the following from
the state Observer; Represen-
tative Bradbury was formerly a
prized citizen of this city:
A public utilities commission of
three members to serve as a fact
finding agency and to review the
setting of gas. electric power,
telephone, and telegraph rates
will be proposed by Rep. Bryan
Bradbury of Abilene in a bill to
be submitted to the 46th legis-
lature.
Bradbury said his measure
would provide the commission
with valuation engineers, ac-
countants, attorneys and other
needed experts to arrive at fair
and reasonable rates. Adminis-
tration costs would be paid from
a special tax of one-fcurth of one
per cent levied on gross receipts
ill. uaUlity companies.
A norther blew In from the
north pole the first of the week.
It brought Ice, rain, sleet and
temperature went down to 32.
Flowers, gardens and all vege-
tation indicate a cold reception.
A few forgotten water pipes were
frozen but soon thawed without
material damage A good rain
would be beneficial to this farm-
ing area and help grain crops
now that temperatures are on
the upward swing

can lay his hands on.
An Irishman doesn’t know
what he wants—but is willing to
fight to death to get it.
An American knows what he

he gets it.

highest Incidence of this disease.
With relatively few cases dur*
tag Mm summer, sn increase to
pneumonia to observed with tfcft
advent of fall, usually quite no-
ticeable in November, which
continues through December,
January, February and March
before the number of cases again
declines to Um “warm weather**
level. The time to therefor*
quite short before the beginning
of the so called “pneumonia sea-
son,” according to the state
health officer.
Lobar pneumonia is an infec-
tious disease. In well over 90 per
cent of the cases It is caused by
one of the thirty-two types of
the pneumoccus germ. Against
some but by no means all of
these varitles of the pneumoccus,
serums have been developed
which have proven extremely
beneficial In the treatment of
pneumonia cases caused by these
particular types. In order that
best results can be expected the
serum must be given early.
Another remarkable advance-
ment by medical science In It*
struggle with pneumonia was the
perfection within the past sev-
eral years of a method of quick-
ly identifying the type of pneu-
moccus causing the Illness in
each Individual case Thus pro-
gress has been made but we are
yet far from the goal.
Consequently, the necessity ot
persons developing their natural
defenses against all Infections
including pneumonia, Is Just as
Important and essential today as
it ever was.
In many cases a cold Is pneu-
monia’s forerunner. If one rea-
sonably abides by the rules of
personal hygiene involving the
use of proper food in proper
amounts, sufficient sleep, ade-
quate exercise, the maintenance
of a healthy indoor temperature,
clothes geared to the thermome-
ter rather than to fashion, the
avoidance of the excessive use
of stimulants of all kinds and the
elimination of debilitating hab-
its, many colds which might lead
to pneumonia can be avoided.
And if to that fundamental
protection be added sensible pre-
caution against., wet feet. In-
judicious cooling off when over-
heated, avoiding drafts and as
far as possible shying frotn colds
one’s chances of being victimiz-
ed by pneumonia's main stepping
stone, the cold, will be further
decreased. m
