Boys Contest Continues
Till april |

the atrocities Of the rapacious bag

to apply the strong arm of the law
against the murderous activities Of the
pest if there is any way to do it and
they have asked the mayor to Inter
veneo in the destructive campaign
that the worms are waging on the
trees
At a meeting of sorosis, club yester-

the bagworm has become a public
nuisance, we respectfully request the
mayor to require the property owners
to rid their trees of the pest Com

The matters in reference to the gov.

esting. Messrs. Lenox and Griggs put
in a resolution asking the chief execu

limited that some legislators had solic-
tied places on the investigating com
mlttees to further their personal ami
mosities or friendships.
Representative Curry was the author
Of a resolution assuring the governor
Of the confidence Of the house in his
honesty and integrity Of purpose,
drawn out by the governors reference
to attacks upon himself by one or two
members of the house.
Representative II. II Smith issued a
scathing criticism Of the governor, in
answer to those portions Of the gov
ernor's message which Mr. Smith took
as an attack upon himself The guber-
Material message took particular excep-
tion to an expression on the floor Of
the house that the governor thought
more Of the wings on dollar than
Of human blood" Mr. Smith had used
some phrase somewhat like this in an
attack upon the governors action in
vetoing the railway hospital bill.

the intention was that all of the work
should be done in Chickasha. Some
boys also gathered bags from the
brush that had been cut from trees.
We hope the contestants will keep
busy in the city and that the people
will encourage them in the splendid
wcrk they are doing for the city"
It is pointed out that the pest will
be still more destructive next year Il
it isn't checked now since it will then
attack the trees that have been
trimmed this year and the trimming
process cannot be repeated then with
out enaaagering the life Of the tree.
