Wonder what is wrong with Lucy

too many turnips?
Wanda is really a ball player. She
got substituted from the “A” group
to the “B" group.
Louella is doing all right I reckon.
That is, a certain sophomore boy
thinks so.
We wonder how Lucy B. and Leo-

for it. There are many young peo-
ple as well as older people who
never succeed because they do not
try. They start out all right but
they find to their disappointment
that some foolish pleasure has over-
whelmed their desire to work. Often
the goal is not reached because of
lack of determination to keep press-
ing onward. Make up your mind
what you want to do and do it.
Don’t be a quitter. A quitter never
wins, and a winner never quits. The
foolish ones soon find themselves
struggling in the sea of failure,
while the earnest ones reach their
goal, success, greeting them with a
welcoming smile. Success is worth
the coast, and it only comes to those
who pay the price in courage and
determination.

Prevalence of scarlet fever in
Texas during October has increased
93.9 per cent over September’s total
cases, according to reports reach-
ing the Texas State Department of
Health..
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health
Officer, points out that this is a
characteristic seasonal rise in pre-
valence, as the number of scarlet
fever cases increases simultaneously
with the opening of school and re-
mains more or less constant during
the school year, and recedes in
marked fashion during the summer
vacation.
“Scarlet fever continues to be a
menace to children,” Dr. Cox said.
“Many cases are slight, but they
may infect others who will become
seriously ill. Even the mild cases
may be dangerous, as post-disease
complications may be severe.
“Children between the ages of five
and ten years are most susceptible
to scarlet fever—cases are more vir-
ulent and more deaths occur in this
age group than any other. There-
fore, the younger the child is, the
more dangerous are the complica-
tions and the greater the likelihood
that the disease will run a severe
course.
“The incubation period (time be-
tween exposure to the germs and
manifestation of the first symptoms)
may be from one to seven days, us-
ually from two to four. The first
symptoms are headache, sore throat,
vomiting, fever. With very young
children, the attack may begin with
convulsions and a sudden high fever.
Twenty-four to forty-eight hours
after the original symptoms the rash
begins to appear and covers the en-
tire body. Symptoms which may in-
dicate scarlet fever demand im-
mediate medical attention and quar-
antine to prevent the spread of the
disease. Appearance of scarlet fever
in the home should be followed im-
mediately by a rigid quarantine for
at least three weeks.
‘“The public should be warned
against exposing young children to
those exhibiting acute catarrhal
symptoms of any kind. Take no
chances, for scarlet fever is spread
by the transfer of the infection in
nose and throat, ears or abscesses of
persons ill with the disease and
those who are carriers of the infec-
tion.”

Election time’s coming!
On November the Fifth, all voters in the United States
will have the privilege of registering their preference—de-
tiding which one of several men will hold the office of Pres-
dent for the next four years. .
Election Day is not the only special day in our American
tradition. Not even Great Britain, with all its long history,
has more occasions for genuine rejoicing, or for serious
thankfulness that its ancestors were the men and women
that they proved to be. But Election Day is certainly ot pri-
mary importance to us as individuals and as a society.
In only a few lands on this earth does the act of choos-
ing the head of the state have any real meaning at the pre-
sent time. Even in England, there is small time for the exer-
cise of representative government during the war emer-
gency. And on the .continent of Europe, even when the rulers
there decide to hold a parody of an election, it goes by a
name unfamiliar to American ears—“plebicite”—and there
is only one candidate’s name on the ballot.
We Americans will show our wisdom if we ponder these
matters well.
era that the boss it getting “huge”
profits out of national defense con-
tracts, and no matter what the em-
ployees are making they should get
more.
There will be little discussion by
the organizers of the fact that Con-
gress has enacted an excess profits
tax which will keep employers from
making the mythical “huge profits.”
And there will be no mention of the
fact that If the boss who already is
forced to pay even more, he must
get his money back by charging the
government and the taxpayer more
for what he produces.
The thing all these planners over-
look is that if in order to keep na-
tional defense costs down It is pos-
sible to limit an employers profit,
It is also possible to limit wages.
The federal wage-hour law, for
example, was enacted in peace-time
to establish minimum wages for “the
general welfare.” In an emergency,
it certainly would be in the interests
of “the general welfare” to keep de-
fense costs from sky-rocketing be-
cause of unduly high wages.

On the ballot in November, when we vote for President,
four proposed amendments to the State Constitution will
appear:
NUMBER ONE:—Applies only to Red River County.
NUMBER TWO:—Provides for the appointment of a
Notary Public at any time. Under the Constitution, as it now
reads, the Governor can appoint Notaries only while the
Legislature is in session, which is about one-fourth of the
time.
NUMBER THREE—Permits Civil Service for employ-
ees of City Governments.
NUMBER FOUR:—Is probably the most important, as
it provides that appeals may be taken directly from the trial
court to the Supreme Court where the point at issue is the
Constitutionality of a law. Because of the long pathway that
a case usually travels, it is sometimes two or three years
after a law is passed before anyone can be sure that it is
constitutional. This proposed amendment, if adopted, will
hurry up the matter.
All of these amendments should do some good, and
could not hurt anything. And it is hoped that they will be
adopted.
Senator “Cotton” George Moffet of Chillicothe, is the
author of Number Four and earnestly recommends its adop-
tion.
In only a few spots in the world today, is life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness guaranteed to the people.
America is one of them and it may not be long until it is
the only one.
There are millions of people in certain parts of the
world, which have never lived under a government that
guarantees the following privileges. In fact in some coun-
tries, free speech and protection of the rights of an individ-
ual are about as far off as the man in the moon. Our Con-
stitution guarantees the following rights to all of us.
Please think of what kind of a country ours would be
without these privileges and guarantees:
1. All men have equal rights before the law.
2. Protection against unreasonable searches and sei-
zures.
3. No person’s property shall be taken, damaged, or des-
troyed without due process of law.
4. Freedom of speech and of the press.
5. The right of trial by jury.
6. No person shall be jailed for debt.
7. Every person shall have the right to bear arms in
defense of himself or his country.

No. 3194
ESTATE OF C. W. GILES DE-
CEASED.
IN THE
Secret plans already made in
Washington disclose that things now
being done under cover of "national
defense” are just a sample of what.
Is to follow.
Boondoggling, as this column has
reported, figures largely in the plans.
But that Is only a minor part of
what some planners have in mind.
An investigation to be made by a
Senate committee is one threat. It
was supposed to go only into foreign
ownership and control of American
industries which are essential to na-
tional defense. As the Senate under-
stood it, the idea was to find out
which possible "enemies" of the
United States could hamstring
America’s national defense prepar-
ations.
The resolution authorizing this
probe, however, is a “joker.” It would
permit public smearing not only of
businesses controlled by foreigners
but also of any individual, industry
or corporation which members of
the special committee believed might
not be cooperating in national de-
fense.
Thus any committeeman who
wanted to tar and feather a parti-
cular firm in public print would
have only to suspect that firm was
not cooperating in national defense.
The investigators are conscious of
this power, and some of them say
they will use it. Thus a probe de-
signed to protect national defense
could easily be turned into a smear
campaign.
In comparable high quality and an almost new
fresh stock. Our idea is that if you have the mer-
chandise you can sell it, otherwise you cannot. Con-
. sequently our stock is full of the’ things you use
practically every day in the year. The prices are
very competitive and in hundreds of instances lower
than you will find elsewhere.
by James Preston
Another secret plan involves Sid-
ney Hillman and the Cio's desire to
make law the rulings of the biased
Labor Board. They want to forbid
defense contracts to any whom the
Board has accused of labor law vio-
lations. They don’t even want to
wait until the courts determine
whether the Board was right or
wrong.
The effort in this direction was
slowed by premature disclosure of
what was in mind. But the camel’s
nose is under the tent, and these
planners are pushing hard to get
all the way Inside.
Sidney Hillman has an advisory
committee representing various la-
bor organizations This committee
has under consideration a proposal
to request the President to Issue an
executive order forbidding contracts
to any firms which are on the Labor
Board's “blacklist.’
A labor reporter for a metropoli-
tan daily who knows many of the
Hillman group intimately, reports
that nothing will be done about this
proposal until after the election be-
cause It is "dynamite.'
• • •
A third plan also Is under con-
templation by labor groups. It in-
volves the intention of taking un-
ions Inta some plants which they —
have not before been able to organ- —
toe.
All a union can sell to a worker
is the Idea that if he joins up he I
will get higher wages, shorter hours
and better working conditions. Tn
many planta, all these have been far
above standards set in union con-
tracts. So it has been hard to entice
workers Inta paying dues
