"The codfish lays a million eggs
And the helpful hen lays one;
But the codfish doesn't cackle
To tell us what she's done;
And so we scorn the codfish coy.
And the helpful hen we prize,
.Which indicates to you and me
It pays to advertise!"
The Fatted Calf is Waiting for the Prodigal
About time for those New
Y ear Resolution that have stiod
the strain thus far to give a fin-
al creak and break I The vast
majority of good resolutions al-
ways go the same way, sooner
or later.
But regardless of the fragility
of the promises one makes one-
self, New Years Resolutions are
wonderful things. They are, al-
most without exception, made
for the betterment of one's hab-
its. That means, then, to be-
come a bit more personal about
lit, that we have admittedly
found a fault in our own make-
iup and that we are undertak-
ing to correct that fault.
A fault admitted is over half
cured, so, though we fail to go
ahead with our resolve, the fact i
remains that we know what is;
• he matter with ourselves, and j
that we have made a start at re- ]
medying it

T. B. TAYLOR, M. D.
County Health Officer
j My Dear Doctor Taylor:
This is to acknowledge receipt of
i your letter of January 12, subject;
quarentining smallpox, and in reply
1 wish to advise that when a case
of small pox is discovt red, it should
be strictly quarantined, all contacts
be vaccinated at once, or held in
quarentine for fifteen days, and all
people urged to be vatcinatcd ir
once.
It would certainly be a joke to
quarentine the case and allow the
contacts to spread '.la disease all
ovuH the community; consequently
we have adopted the regulations hit I
down above.
Verv trulv vours,
J. C. ANDERSON, M. D.
State Health Officer.
U. D. C: TO HAVE
PROGRAM SUNDAY
Washington, Jan. 17, lD.'JO:-—Cold
wave, expected lo cross and cover
continent during week centering on
15, will be expected to move into the
lor south but not so far south nor
will it be so severe as cold wave
centering on 10. Storm wave of
moderate force, expected to cross
coiiiin. nt in southern transcontental
storm path during week centering
on 20, will probubly cause the heav-
iest and most general precipitation
oi last hall of January and will cause
a general rise in average temper-
atures that will result in last half
of month averaging above normal
temperatures fiver the continent;
during last ten days of January, a
warm wave will reach farther north
than usual, causing one of the open
periods forecasted to occur during
the present Winter; this warm wave
is expected to center on 20, as storm
wave of severe ioixre crosses conti-
nent thru southern states bringing
breezes from the south to frozen
northern fields. As this will be ai
low barometer storm wave, warmest
days will be just before and during
passage of storm center; as a high
barometer storm wave moves thru
southern states, warmest days in
northern areas occur just following
passage of storm center; this storm
center move in the opposite direction
t<> the movement of the hands of a
clock, whereas, around a high baro-
meter storm center, air currents
move in tne same direction as the
clock hands.
I have forecasted neither drouth
nor floods for any areas of North
I America during 1 ii.'l 1 cropseason and
will expect neither of these condi-
tions to occur over any large area
during the year. Spring will fur-
nish ampie nnd general moisture,
but principal spring precipitation
will occur before northern fields have
been thawed to receive it as sub-
soil moisture. As an average for
the continent, spring temperature*
will average too low for best re
suits, yet. as a general forecast, ear-
ly planting and sowing, deep and
thorough cultivation and catering to
high lands will he adviseable for all [
hut very earlv maturing crop.i and I
crops that will stand hot, drv wea- 1
her later in the season, as later in
the season I will expect more than
usual heat and less than usual mois-
ture over a great part of NoHh
America. I do not expect 1931 to
be a repetition of 1980 cropseason.
as extremes will not he so great, en-
tire season will be more moderate,
dry areas will not cover the snm--
spots; in fact, each season is dif-
ferent from every other season in
some respects, ami I do not believe
that any fropseason cycle c:>n be
applied with success. I still fore-
cast that, in the next few years,
while flood relief is needed to fur
