NOTTCE

Should the chinch bugs go I'M
checked and destroy the grain and
forage crops OF Kansas In 1913, the
loss would be seriously felt by every
man, woman and child In the state
state whether living in the country
or town, Everyone should get busy
IMMEDIATELY to burn these pests.
Every farmer should burn trash
on bis farm and combine with HIS
neighhors to burn the trash along the
roadsides and on nonresident lands.
The Anti Horse Thief Association,
the Grange, the Farmers Union and
all other farm organizations should
act at once.
Each county commissioner should
organize his part Of the county and
have the burning thorough. The
county superintendent OF schools
should have the danger from chinch
bugs discussed in every school room
and get every pupil to spread the
alarm. Road oyerseers should burn
all trash along the roads and interest
the people in burning all trash on
farms and vacant lots. Fire depart
ments in cities should superintend
the burning of trash on vacant lots.
Every bank should take the matter
up with all correspondents and GUS
toners. Merchants should get their
customers to burn the bugs. Grain
dealers, millers and broom corn buy
ers should push the matter. The tel
ephone companies should urge every
one having a phone to burn trash.
Commercial clubs, credit associations
and other business organizatio ns
should use every possible effort to
have the bugs burned.
Editors should use all the influence
of their papers and their strongest
personal efforts to get these pests
DESTROYED.

ONE SUBSTITUTES FOR MEAT

At its present cost, you still feel
like locking the beef bone in the
safe with the silver. TO people who
must have cheap but substantial
food, something may we'll be said
about bread and milk, particularly as
hour sells for Is cents to S1.OO a
barrel less than a few months ago.
1t may be true that liking for
simple old time bread and milk
makes you look country bred, raised
in questionable and rustic neighbor-
hoods where steamy pals OF ropy
cream are carried in nightly from
tat cows. Bread and milk under
these conditions would be a perilous
shock to the Star Boarder's lean
stomach.
A restaurant proprietor once re-
marked, as a man seated In a rear
table put up an order for bread and
milk, "Tain't fit for nobody but
children and old maids. Do you mo-
tice how they most always slip into
a back seat when they give these
cheap orders? have seen men crumb
oyster crackers into bread and milk,
conspicuous like. Probably they
wanted people to think they ordered
oyster stew"
1t would perhaps be difficult to inn
agine bread and milk served on the
exclusive tables of he Smart Set.
But If you have been 1T with the
meat combine long ehough, If you
want to feel your supper in your
muscles as well as in your memory,

On the farm, the hungriest hay
tosser used to call bread and milk a
good foundation for five o'clock
start next day.
Even at eight cents quart, milk
costs but four cents pound, COM
pared with 40 cents for a fancy
steak, which may not have much
more nourishment.
Perhaps to get the full advantage
Of the recent fall in -four prices, the
family needs to bake its own bread.
With the rolling pin lost and the
bread tray cut into kindling wood,
many families will regard this adj
vice as obsolete.
Still there are food factories that
turn out some very good bread. Be-
ware of the loaf that brushes In your

MAGnIrnER Tn sERNE

II. w. Magruder Of Liberal, who Is
to supervise the construction OF the
TeXhoma water works and electr C
lighting, system, was here the latter
part OF last week. He also came
down the first OF this week to attend
the election. We believe that in the
securing of Mr.. Magruder's services
no mistake was made. He is nor an
experienced promoter Of such prOpo-
sitions, that Is, he does not handle
such affairs as his bushes, although
he has put in several systems Of this
nature. One thing certain, he is ia
millar along the line of water works
and electric lights. He knows sucn
propositions as we contemplate, from
A. to Y. He knows them from actual
experience In business and scientific
way. One of the best systems in the
west, that Of Liberal, Kansas, was
promoted under his guidance, which
he has been managing since that
time. and there Is not a word Of Ill
nature to be spoken against Mr.. Ma
gruder or that plant in his home
town, which is a pretty good recon-
mendatlon in itself. 1t is up to we
citizens of Texhoma to help MIR. Ma
gruder in every way possible, to
make this project a success. We
have confidence in the way the affair
will be operated; that it will be done
up exactly right and on the square in
ayery particular. Should things turn
up different than we anticipate, we
would be one Of the first to raise
kick In the interest of our town. But
1t is far beyond our expectations to
ever have conscientious scrupled
along that line, for we believe the
affair is in good ands.--Texhoma
