Be WISER, NOT SAD
Here's the Story Of a Mossback
Who Was Stubborn.
Your Help Needed In Teaching This
Community Dangers From Files

Once there was a man In this town
who thought the germ idea was AL
bunk" He declared up and down that
Il was fad OF the doctors and q
scheme to scare people out OF their
wits and make money playing on their
fears. He is wiser than he was nine
years ago, but the lesson was expen.
sIye and sad-he lost one OF his chill
dren with scarlet fever because he
thought the disease wasn't catching.
This Is an enlightened community.
but there are still lot Of people here
who pooh.pooh all the fuss we're max
ing about the ny dSnger. They jeer
and insist It's tho work OF bunch OF
slick doctors and fool women who
ought to DO homo mlnding their babies,
You would be surprised at the number
OF mossbacks who think this fly talk
is all bunk" too, A mossback is all
right until he becomes q danger to the
health OF the nelghborhood by his stub
born Ignorance In refusing to help
wipe out the sources OF disease and
extermlnate disease carriers.
Make II your business to convert the
mossbacks and get them into the army
that is to wage war on the whole fly
tribe hero this summer. Once they are
on "our side" they will be valuable
fighters because OF their stubbornness,

Johnson Grass Has Value

Every farmer whois discourag- ed fighting Johnson grass would do well to write to w. R. Dodson, director of Extension, Louisiana Agricultural College. Baton Rouge, Louisiana. for a copy of circular No. 10 on Johnson grass. An interesting feature of thls circular is that it not only tells how to control Johnson grass, but also makes some valuable suggestions for it's profitable utilization. For livestock farm CTS Johnson grass has consider able value for hay and pasture purposes, and some of our farm CTS may find that one of the easi- est ways to control Johnson grass is to utilize it. -U. of A.

Of course most of the people who work for MT. Vail at the present time are quite certain, in their own minds, that they should be pIo- noted to these big positions and paid the salaries indicated in MT. VaiPs statement. The re cords show that once upon a time, many years ago. the Unit ed States Government parted with MT.

You never saw a town amount to any, thing where business men and citizens were always engaged in telling how dead it was, how lifeless, and all the powers that be could not start it moving, building up and endowing it with new life.
