Which reminds us that the
breeding season for flies is at

Manure are ideal-places for the
unholy work to go on. Though
laost flies are born in barns and
outhouses, they do not confine
their activities to those quarters

Wednesday was the first day
of spring, arriving at 12:27, ac-
cording to astronomers. The
Weather Man was kind, and
there was much digging in gar-
dens and flower beds, and farm-
ers stirred Mother Earth at a
great rate. Insects were hum-
ming, bees buzzing around the
plum and "pear blossoms, and a
carpet of green is appearing.
Easter is early this year, but we
don’t know if that has anything
to do with whether or not Jack

Spring and warmer weather
appears to be getting into the
blood of Deport citizens this
year in a great way. There ap-
pears to be more effort to clean
up, paint and plant flowers and
shrubs than ever before. Influ-
ence of Deport’s newly-formed
Garden Club is being felt, much
to the disgust of some of the
husbands, who are being asked
to spade this and that and do a
lot of other things that serious-
ly interfere with fishing and
other necessary pastimes.

The man who has been accused of
losing his chewing gum in the
chicken house and thinking he had
found it a half-dozen times and the
other fellow, who had the same bad
luck with his summer straw hat in
a cow pasture, may be relieved to
learn that a story is going the
rounds concerning a lady who at-
tended the funeral of a friend. The
lady wore one of the new, call-me-
a-taxidermist hats. Not caring to
wear the hat during the services,
she leaned it against the wall near
the door. Next time she saw it was
when the casket was carried by. It
was perched on top.
From Miss Edith Ruth Anderson
of Rl, Deport, comes the first an-
swer to last week’s question of how
long a fish would be if its head were
nine inches long, its body as long
as its head and half as long as its
tail and its tail as long as its head
and body both. Miss Anderson fig-
ured the whole thing out in alge-
bra and says the fish is 72 inches
long. In other words, the fish is
a six-footer and perhaps a distant
cousin of the one that swallowed
Jonah. Min Anderson says the
fish is rather out of proportion and
advises No. 7, if he hasn’t studied
algebra, not to try figuring it out,
or he won’t have any hair left.
DEPORT GIRL AND RUGBY
MAN TO WED APRIL 7
Announcement has been made of
the engagement and approaching
marriage of Miss Ruth Pearson,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Othor
Pearson of Deport, to Mr. Eugene
Garrett of Paris, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Jim Garrett of Rugby.
The wedding will take place Sun-
day, April 7, in Gainesville at the
home of the bride’s sister, Mrs. C.
W. Morgan.

Wednesday in a triangular track

second with 12%, and Oats of Cun-
ningham, third, with 'll, according
to Coach L. L. Morris.

DUTCH MEYER SPEAKS AT
BANQUET AT BOGATA
Leo (Dutch) Meyer, head foot-
ball coach of Texas Christian Uni-
versity, Ft. Worth, was the princi-
pal speaker Wednesday night at the
annual banquet for football men of
Bogata High School, held in the
gymnasium there.
Coach Meyer showed motion pic-
tures of games played by his Hom-
ed Frog eleven last season.
Hitler contends that he needs
more room for his subjects. Well,
he will have it if war ever starts

war in Europe will provide room

If the old fashioned mother who
blushed at the sight of a copy of

The most important guarantee to
car safety is slow driving and fast
stopping. However, if you are go-
ing ninety-to-nothing you needn’t
worry about fast stopping. The car
will attend to that when it hits a
