The quarantlna of a part of Haiv
fla county aa the result of reported
communicable diseases among csv
tie will doubtless cause aome dlaJ
comfort and inconvenience to thh
cltlzena affected but there la no
"seed to get unduly excited about it.
Fortunately the State and govern'
ment departments handling such
mattera were on the job immediate-
Jy after the disease was discovered.
ann whether or not it proves to be
the hoof and mouth disease the
problem already is being handled In
atlflh a manner as to assure us
rapM solution.
California want Into hysterica
over It and discovered late in the
season that most of the danger was
Imaginary 'and that most of the
damage was caused by the eiclte-
' ment rather than aa a result of tha
disease Itself.
7 Of course we hope that tha diag
nosis which Dr. Cotton will report
Saturday will be to tha effect that
the disease among Dr. Jacobs' cat'
tie la not the foot and mouth dls
ease but In the event that tha dlaff
noels la unfavorable and pome
stringent quarantine rules are put
Into effect auch regulation win
not remain In effect for more than
a ahort period and with the advan
tage of being "forewarned" tha
State and federal experts will un
doubtedly have the disease cleaned
. up before the novelty of the quaraji-
uue iiM worn uu.
Every now and then we are
nrone to fuss at some of the bur
dens which our government lays
.upon us. Every now and then In
our ceneral nlaint acainat "bureau
cracy" we overlook tha tact that
many government bureaua ara ful-
filling a service of which; the gen-
' eral public hear little.
" Among these bureaua is that
which studies live stock problem)
Because we may hear little of tha
studies and work of those bureaua
and othera we are inclined to list
- them with the "useless expendi
tures.
But let an emergency arise and

the government bureau that hat
Wn studying the problem brought
up by the emergency. And usually
the work which that bureau haa
Seen crolng lis brought into play
. with such rapidity that Its work is
aecompltshed and maybe forgotten
in the excitement.
So when we start to make
sweeping gesture and include all
bureaus let us not be so Inclusive
but remember that we might be in
a sorry plight sometimes if it were
not for the work of some particular
bureau.
The September edition of "Hous
' ton" the first issue of the organ
of the Chamber of Commerce to
come out underlie new manage-
ment of Herbert C. May who holds
the title of editor and publisher
contains a number of articles of real
'' value to the city.
Apparently the articles were
chosen from the standpoint of
desire to build various industries in
the city as well as to advertise
those which have already been
built.
"One idea which I Intend to In
.corporate In all issues of 'Houston'
. is that of helping to give the people
of Houston a vision of what our pos-
sibilitles are" said Mr. May Friday.
"We need to believe in Houston
more and to know Houston more."
Certainly this September issue of
i "Houston" Indicates that this idea
r la going to be applied to the maga-
line In a very practical way.
