Health Department
Lends Cooperation
To Clean-Up Drive
The City Health department has
agreed to cooperate with a move-
ment to set aside the week of
March 20-27 as Clean-Up apd Safe-
ty Week for the city of Teague.
It is the desire of the city as
a whole to cooperate in the clean-
up measures, and the local depart-
ment of health asks the citizens
for their cooperation, Dr. D. L.
Lowry, city health offleer, said.
The following points have been
suggested as the most efficient
methods of getting the city clean:
Garbage cans and rubbish that
is placed in the alleys for the
city garbage man must be placed
in sacks, boxes or other convenient
containers to facilitate quick han-
dling.
See that all out buildings,
toilets, stables, poultry houses,
etc., are cleaned properly. If you
have any difficulty in getting this
work done, phone the authorities
fo»* advice.
All livestock should be moved
outside the city limits to pasture.
Any stagnant water in buckets,
barrels, cans, or small pools
should be drained or otherwise
disposed of to destroy the breed-
ing places for mosquitoes.
If each citizen would give his
personal attention to these plat-
ters on his own property, the
town could be cleaned up with a
minimum effort and "with maxi-
mum results.
Oil Industry Ready
For Demands Of
National Defense
“Today the industry stands
ready to satisfy any demands that
may be made of it,’’ is the asser-
tion in a report on “The Petro-
leum Industry and National De-
fense.” which appears in the
March issue of The Independent
Monthly, official publication of the
Independent Petroleum Association
of America.
The report was made by the
association’s standing committee
on balance of supply with demand,
whose reports on economic condi-
tions in the industry have been
issued each quarter for several
years. The committee consists of
H. B. Fell, Ardmore, Oklahoma,
chairman; Van S. Welch, Artesia,
New Mexico, vice-chairman; John
Trimble, El Dorado, Arkansas;
Lawrence Vender Leek, Los
Angeles, California; J. A. Ayl-
ward. Wichita, Kansas; C. H.
Lyons, Shreveport, Louisiana; C. A.
Smith, Jr., Grand RSpifis, Michi-
gan; H. M. Stalcup, Tulsa. Okla-
homa; C. P. McGaha, Wichita
Fallas, Tex^s. Minor S. Jameson,
Jr., Washington, D. C., statistician
for the association, is esc re tary
of the committee.
To discusse the “over- all physi-
cal condition and state of pre-
paredness of the industry,” the
committee has set up an inven-
tory of the petroleum industry of
today and of 1918, peak year of
the effort’ of Hie United States
the World War. The compari-
sons show, says the report, “the
extent to which the industry *
hanged from a relatively
After some delay caused by a
week of incessant rain and high
wind, the street paving project
got under way agfcin this week
with extra effort on the part of
the crews, and will be rushed as
fast as the weather will permit.
The project was started at the
intersection of Cedar and Seventh,
at the comer of the First Pres-
byterian church and is proceed-
ing three blocks to Fourth avenue.
These three blocks will be taken
as the first unit for excavation
arYd preparation for guttering. The
gutter forms have been laid ort
a large portion of the section and
will soon be ready for pouring
the concrete.
Following this process a heavy
base of Tehuacana crushed rock
will be laid and rolled arid prob-
ably additionally packed by a
period of traffic. The noxt layer
will be of Turlington gravel of
finer texture, to be spread and
rolled. Then, when the weather is
warmer so that topping can be
worked successfully, alternating
layers of topping and fine gravel
or Mcadam will finish the paving.
According to Mayor S. W.
Robinson and City Secretary F. F.
Sims, their purpose in preparing
the Cedar street section for tem-
porary use has the purpose of re-
lieving Main street of the traffic
while a similar process of develop-
ment is taking place in the down-
town district. Cedar street will
afford a convenient by-pass for
traffic, either through town, or
through the section of Main street
under construction fot local traf-
fic.
After Cedar street has been fin-
ished, it is the plan of the city
authorities to scarify Main, shape
the surface and give a similar
rock and gravel treatment to that
now being done on Cedar.
The Mayor and Secretary have
worked out a practical plan for
the Main street construction,
whereby traffic . may proceed
through the section while the
work is in progress. To facilitate
this, the plan ia to prepare the
surface and lay the rock and
gravel on half of the street at a
time. With one side completed, it
can then be used for traffic while
work is progressing on the other
half. This appears to the Chronicle
as not only a practical plan, but
one'which affords quite an accom-

Band Uniform Fund
Still Increasing
By Contributions
With at total of $2,120.00 to
raise, the Teague High school
band committees added the
amount of $62.76 to the fund dur-
ing the post week, which added to
the former total, brings the pres-
ent amount collected up to $1,938.-
02, which still lacks $181.98 of
finishing the fund necessary for
the purchase of the band uni-
forms.
With only two weeks to go, the
weekly average will have to ex-
ceed last week’s results a little, in
order that the fundB may be in
hand by April 1, when the uni-
forms are expected to arrive. It
is expected that all present out-
standing pledges will have been
paid in to the Teague National
Bank by that time, and that the
funds will be in hand for full
payment of the obligation.
The committees will carry on
during the next two weeks, or
until April 1 in an effort to put
the campaign definitely over the
top.
It is again requested that any
contributor whose name has not
appeared in the lists should com-
municate with Mrs. Jesse Hudgins
or B. H. Tyus at your early con-
venience. >
The workers in the campaign
again express their appreciation
to those who have assisted in this
important campaign by working,
soliciting, contributing, or who
.have in any way contributed any-
thing to the success of the move-
ment.

past week, with the addition of

Texas Armadillos
Valuable To Fur
Bearing Animals
The following is sn interesting
orticle on the subject by F. Wal-
lace Taber, formerly graduate as-
sistant, department of fish and
game, School of Agriculture, A
and M, College of Texas.
The value of armadillos as des-
troyers of noxious insects has
been recognized for some time.
They are especially valuable for
their destruction of the tiny red
ants which attack bobwlpite quail
just as the eggs are hatching.
A newly recognised relation-
ship between the armadillo and
certain fur animals may possibly
prove to be even more to the
armadillo’s credit than the de-
struction of insects—that is, its
value in excavating dens or safety
retreats for such animals as the
skunk, possum, and cottontail rab-
bit :.
Thn Texas armadillo usually
averages about 5 dens per animal,
that is, 5 dens in use either as
nesting dens or temporary shelt-
ers. There are usually additional
burrows in the locality in a minor
state of disrepair which are no
longer of any obvious use to arm-
adillos. But, regardless of the con-
dition of these burrows, all are
excellent retreats for fur bearers.
Excavation of 51 armadillo dens
on the coastal prairie of Chambers
County, by Daniel W. Lay, Re-
gional Game Manager, Texas
Game, Fish and Oyster Commis-
sion, and the writer, disclosed as
many opossums in the dens as
armadillos. Other animals found
in armadillo dens included skunks
and cottontail rabbits.
In Pennsylvania the ifoodchuck
has the same hole-digging pro-
pensities as are shown by the
armadillo in Texas, excavating
many more burrows than it actu-
ally uses. For years the wood-
had been shoi
Oil March 20, which date is
Thursday next, the sun will cross
the equator, making the first
equinox of 1941. This event may
not have much bearing on the
lives of Teague citizens, until they
stop to consider that once the sun
has crosesd the equator, moving
northward, warm weather is real-
ly on the way.
Warm weather with all its pos-
sibilities of gardening, chick rais-
ing, flower planting, horseback
riding, house cleaning, re painting,
buying spring clothes, having the
car repaired or trading for a new-
er one . . . hundreds of activities
that spring brings to the minds of
Teagueites.
Are you going to have your
house papered this spring?. Or
will you be content with new cur-
tains in all the rooms and some
cheerful looking new chair covers?
Does the family car need
painting and new seat covers
or had you rather have
car and be done with it?
Is your garden planted, or are
you being cautious and waiting
for the frost.to stop? Are you
goitig to have nasturtiums or
larkspur in the round bed on the
front lawn this summer? What
color zinnias are you * going to
have to add color to your back-
yard fence . . . and do you have
a trellis built for morning glories?
Won’t little green onions be de-
licious with new greens and tiny
crisp raddishes? And have you
been watching at your grocers for
the early strawberries and the
fresh vegetables that taste so
good after a winter of dried and
canned foods? Oh, and spring
fryers, and so many things to
eat that it is confusing.
And when you get your flowers
planted, sure enough you look
around a bit and decloe that after
all the house does need painting.
There isn’t anything prettier in
the summertime than a snowy
white house, green lawn amfbright
colored flowers.
Say, Mr. Fanner, did you know
that the fence on the lower pas-
ture is nearly down? No? Well,
you had best see about it rigfit
away, or your mules will be in at
your early corn, and everyone
knows how disastrous that is.
And if the sewing machine is
dfcirring away from morning un-
til late evening, you can just bet
that Betty and Susie and Mary
Jane and Mama are all going to
have new Easter frocks, and that
before long they’ll be in town buy-
ing summery straw hats and sum-
mer shoes ? Doesn’t time fly past?
Yes sir, you just can’t get
around it. Everyone can feel
Bpring along about this time of
year, and the first thing they
know, they have to get out and
do something about it
So if you get left behind, and
don’t have any flowers blooming
until late July, don’t say we didn’t
warn you.
