The dreaded MANTLE paralysis thai
is scourging New York, has appeared
In several Texas cities and one or two
smaller places. That is one reason
why The Eagle is SO earnest and so
insistent for Q thorough clean-up<cam-
paign. There should not be the slight
est halt in the work until the city is
In perfect sanitary condition. The
health officer and the sanitary inspect.
or should not be satisfied with one
round week, but should go every
day in search of new places that need
attention and to see II previous in
structicns are being carried out. Filth
is said by all medical authorities to be
the parent OF large majority of dis
eases, in fact, no one disputes this
statement, and therefore the urgent
need Of thorough and systematic
cleanup campaign is apparent to all.
In saying this we do not mean that
conditions are bad. They are not;
they are good, but could be better, and
to make them SO is what we are after.

OBSERVATIONS ;
3 BY THE WAYs

Out on College street there is much
work being done. This street, which
has new name, will soon be a new
street. There are several different
crews OF men at work; some are grad
ing. some are buildings curbs and gut.
tiers, and the crew with the biggest
task is that Of the Bryan and College
Interurban. These people are lower,
ing their track about Is inches SO as
to conform with the new street grade
for paving. the track is being placed
in the center Of the street, and will
be placed on solid foundation. Just
outside the city limits. where the
name OF College Street changes to the
College Road. you will find just as
much activity. Out here work prepar-
atory to paving is going on just the
same as 1t is in the city limits. Just
be patient now and 1t will not be long
until we will have some Of the best
drives In the State OF Texas.

More and more farmers in Brazos
County are buying automobiles, and
as the good road work progresses they
will become still more numerous. In
this day Of close competition the
farmers are learning their own time
and the time Of their mules is worth
too much on the farm to lose one or
two days out Of each week making
trips to town. With an auto, the farm
work need not stop at all, and the
farm owner can come to town, trans.
act his business and be back home in
two or three hours. To succeed now,
every edge must be made to cut.
