CLEAN-UP LAQRANQE
Thursday and Friday ot this week have been desig-
nated by Mayor Robson as “Clean-up Days” for the entire
City of LaGrange. Issuing his proclamation to all prop-
erty owners, he says:
CLEAN UP
“By virtue of the authority in me vested, as Mayor
of the City of LaGrange, Texas, I do hereby declare
Thursday and Friday, February 23 and 24, as “Clean Up
Days” for LaGrange, and urgently request that our citi-
zens clean the city of all rubbish, cans and other accumu-
lation that cannot be burned on their premises.
“The city will provide trucks to collect trash, begin-
ning Thursday, February 23, and continue through Sat-
urday, February 24; and I respectfully request that you
place in containers or sacks such refuse referred to near
the sidewalk, next to your home.”
While proclamations have been issued annually by
the mayors of our little city, the issuing early in the year
has a good point to which reference may be made. This
season of the year the mosquitoes are few in number, if
there are any at all; to remove every possible container
from your premises, cause to have every bit of rubbish
hauled away or burned, and to drain such places as may
prove a haven of breeding to the winged insects, removes
such breeding spots from the city, and forces hibernation.
Illness is not relished; we have had much to contend
with during the winter months; such illness, however, was
due to the acceptable reception of the human system of
prevalent and floating diseases, that demand the strictest
compliance to hygienic rules to conquer; careless in guard-
ing against the ills that humanity is prone to fall a prey,
and with damp, cold weather, causes the human system
to suffer. Illness of such nature is destructive, unless the
patient exercises the greatest care.
Summer illness, malaria, typhoid fever, increase in
the surroundings that are kept unclean; the mosquito is
a never-ceasing enemy, small though his self may be.
These winged insects have crippled the health of more
individuals than any agency known to medical science, in
countries where venomous insects and varmints do not
exist.
Let the Mayor’s proclamation be regarded in the light
of a warning, as well as an appeal. To him is entrusted
the government of our city; he judges the law violations
as they are brought to his bench of justice, he appeals,
not as a judge, but as your protector, to dispel the right
of illness to remain in your city. ' ,
Whatever refuse may have accumulated on your
premises during the colder weeks and months, because of
the lack of time to clean up, or whatever may have been
regarded lightly because of the colder weather, should be
gathered together, burn what can be burned; take your
old tin containers, place them in sacks, or rake them to-
gether and place them at the edge of your walks.
* * * * *
Keep healthy by keeping your premises clean, help
the City Council to prevent sickness from becoming prev-
alent during the warmer months of 1933.

A. & P. STORE CLOSED FOR
HALF DAY
The A. & P. Store at LaGrange will
be closed Thursday, from 7 a. m. to
1 p. m., in honor of the departed W.
A. Terry, district manager, who lived
at Houston. Mr. Terry died at St.
Joseph’s Infirmary at Houston, Tues-
day, following a surgical operation.
CARD OF THANKS
We have found that in LaGrange,
that sympathetic hearts beat in the
breasts of her people; during the ill-
ness of our mother, Mrs. Anna Kre-
nek, the inquiries prompted by sym-
pathetic interest were frequent; what
you sought to do for her and your
consideration of her comfort, and
when death took her what you did
for us, shall not be forgotten. We
desire in this brief message to thank
Rev. Horak for his kind message and
words of comfort; you who sat thru
the silent nights and watched, and
you who came with such beautiful
flowers and assured us by your deeds
that your sympathy was sincere.

NEWS IS SCARCE
News is very scarce in Winchester
this week, people have not been get-
ting about much, and could not for
that matter, as the inclement weath-
er has been a strong offender.
The writer, who has lived here in
Winchester since infancy, is in posi-
tion to state that he has never before
witnessed such road conditions as
exist at this time, it iB absolutely im-
possible to travel by car; in fact the
only motor vehicle that is being used
at this time, is the milk trucks, which
have to make the trip to Schulenburg
each day.
One of these trucks goes by way of
Smithville and then to LaGrange and
on to Schulenburg. The ruts in the
roads in this section are so deep that
the truck axel drags on the road bed.
It seems almost impossible to be-
lieve, and if this keeps up motor car
travel Will have to stop, unless one
enjoys that modern way of travel,
which we believe they do not.
Were district or county court in
session and our people were called,
it would be just “too bad” as they
could not get to the county seat. And'
that isn’t the half of it. Let’s tell it:
Our people voted a 350,000 bond
issue for an eight-mile^ stretch, and
have a soft, boggy stretch of road
over which to travel. The money is
gone, but they want us to pay the
90c per 3100 valuation of property.
Oh, yes, we have a cement culvert at
town and a cement bridge spanning
the second Pin Oak creek.
Kicking is not going to get us very
far; we will have to do something to
overcome this terrible condition, or
postpone our visits to LaGrange for
business and court until the dry
weather months are here; then of
course we will not need to bother, the
average car can jostle over a hard
road much better than it can plough
through a slough.
KEEP MEDICINE BOTTLES
FROM CHILDREN
Mr. and Mrs. Willie Kaiser experi-
enced a real fright one day last week;
the piercing scream of their little son
brought them to the youngster in a
hurry; It was found that the child
had a bottle of liniment and drank a
part of its contents.
The parents at once telephoned to
a doctor at Smithville, but as he did
not come quick enough, they used the
family automobile and drove to
Smithville. The little chap did suf-
fer a great deal until the doctor re-
lieved him, but is now well again.
Parents, this is friendly: Keep the
medicine bottle from out of the reach
of your children. The case could have
been much worse than reported.
LEFT FOR IOWA
Mrs. B. S. Williams, in receipt of
a telegraph message informing her
of the serious illness of her husband’s
brother in Iowa, advised her husband
who is in charge of the S.P. station
at Carmine, and he left for the
northwestern state. We have since
b^en informed that the patient has
improved and is doing nicely.
For good Job Printing send your
order to the LaGrange Journal.
YOUNG COUPLE SHOWERED
Last week this correspondent men-
tioned the marriage of two of our
young people, E. J. Hart and Miaa
Gussie Rosenhain; their friends in
Winchester, interested in their hap-
piness and wishing them prosperity,
gathered *t the home of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Rosen-
hain last Tuesday night. These
friends—there was about eighty of
them—brought many useful and last-
ing gifts, which they showered upon
the young couple, and in tendering
the gifts, expressed their wishes for
a happy married life.
This event will be remembered by
all as one of the most congenial af-
fairs ever held in Winchester. Every-
one who so willed, was welcomed to
come, and but for the inclement
weather that prevailed there would
have been a larger attendance. The
young couple, of course, was happy,
the parents were beaming, and every-
one present was nodding in approvaL
During the evening there was
served to the guests, several kinds of
sandwiches and cake, and hot choco-
late.

PERSONAL MENTION
Get Rid of That
SORE THROAT!
Any little soreness in the throat grows rapidly worse if
neglected. Crush some tablets of genuine Bayer Aspirin
in some water, and gargle at once. This gives you instant
relief, and reduces danger from infection. One good gargle
and you can feel safe. If all soreness is not gone promptly,
repeat. There’s usually a cold with the sore throat, so
before gargling take two tablets to throw off your cold,
headache, stiffness or other cold symptoms. Bayer
Aspirin relieves neuralgia, neuritis, too. You may Use it
freely, it does not hurt the heart.
NO TABLETS ARE GENUINE BAYER ASPIRIN WITHOUT INIS CROSS
