Madseburg, the capital of Prussian
SaXony, where serious disorders uc-
CURED early in the week again is in
control of the German government
forces, Gustav Noske, minister of de-
Tense, declared in an interview today
in the Tageblatt. After asserting
that the authorities were prepared
for all possibilities, Herr Noslle re-
viewed the situation as follows;
"Madgeburg is completely in our
hands. Motor boats armed with ma
chine guns are patrolling the Elbe to
protect vessels carrying relief food
stuffs Conditions in Bavaria are
such that if Premier Hoffman holds
out a short time we will be able to
solidify opinion in favor of a legiti-
mate government. If no other way is
possible, Munich will be compelled by
arms to return to order as in the case
of Bremen and Dusseldorf.
I'VE must hit with all our energy
rather than to allow the country to
be precipitated into an abyss. If blood
is spilled it will be on the heads of
communist maniacs. The situation in
the Ruhr district is much better than
the sensational press pretends."

We brought the last 1000 shares of CO.

Albuquerque, and agreeably paid your IL
cense (ouch) and are spending good money
with you, especially after making such a
phenomenal record of closing out $4,000
shares of our allotment of 100000 in two

well as we do that when such men as

known Higginbotham wholesale dry
goods firm, and the chain of 10 mercan-
tile establishments in West Texas;
B. J. PITTMAN, cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank, De Leon, Texas; and many
others of equal financial ability,
when they get behind company as trus-
tees, the business end of the company will
be handled honorably, and with proven
Judgment. I.@ g.. e'
When they selected, with expert and pro-
fessional assistance, 81 tracts totaling LOTT
acres scattered all over the Wonderland of
Oil-Comanche County, the county with
1000 producers-the tracts jam-up against
gushers and drilling wells, we knew we had
an unparalleled opportunity.
When they chose ]. A. Leidecker, superin-
tendent for the Hughes O Rourke Con-
suction CO., the firm that built Camp Bowie
for Uncle Sam, and NJ. T. Smith, drilling
contractor for the famous Sinclair Gulf Oil
Co., and made them associate trustees, to
superintend actual field and drilling opera
tons, thus eliminating the chances for
crooked drillers, we all knew we would get
ACTION on our first four wells.
Now it is just matter of few days before
these last shares will be taken-the people

opportunity. When they see the map, they

just one more thing-as soon as the stock
is all sold, don't unload it the first time you

the safest investment you have made in the

REPORT CONTAGIOUS DISEASES

REPORT CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
To Local Health Officers:
A doctor finds patient suffering
from headache, backache, chills, few
ers,-diagnosis looks simple and he
calls it influenza. Two days after the
doctors visit the patient calls up,
states that he is better and that the
doctor need not come back Patient
however, forgets to tell the doctor
that he has an eruption of small pap
ules and pustules all over the body
and these escape the doctors atten-
ton. Two weeks later the whole fam
lily has the same headache, backache,
fever and the same eruptions. No
quarantine and the result is that
smallpox becomes epidemic in that
particular school district, city or
township. Therefore we would sug-
gest to health officers that they issue
a general warning to physicians in
their respective Jurisdictions urging
them to be on the lookout for this
class of cases.
Another feature which is prevailing
is the confusion of mild cases of small
pox with chicken pox. The attention
of physicians therefore should be call
ed to paragraph E. of rules 25 and 81
which provides that chickenpox in
adults must be quarantined the same
smallpox. AS stated previously an
occasional adult has chickenpox but
such cases are almost as scarce IS
hens teeth. When in doubt give the
public the benefit of the doubt and
play safe.
The prompt reporting of all contag-
ious diseases is especially urged. Re-
member that reports of fires after
the buildings have burned are of lit
tie assistance to the fire department.
Fraternally yours,

g BROADWAY BILL y

Harold Lockwood plays one of his
most popular roles in broadway
Bill" He portrays young man of
great wealth, who spends his time in
dissipation and frivolity. His pals
call him broadway Bill" His sweet
heart, Murie1 Latham, takes him to
task for his foolish actions, and Bill
realizing that unless he mends his
ways he can never hope to win the
girl, determines to try to reform and
prove his worth to Murie1
He goes to a lumber camp in Maine
and through a letter of introduction
from the owner of the camp, obtains
employment as lumber jack. Buck
Hardigan, the foreman of the camp
is sent to investigate Irregularities
and working the basis that dead
men tell no tales, he tries to put Bill
out of the way. How Bill illustrates
the plots of Hardigan, wins the re-
spect of the community-and MurieI,
IS told in scenes of red-b1ooded real
ism which makes this typical Lock-
wood production.

City Commissioners

At the late election the people of
the City decided to change the form
of the City Government from a Coun-
ell and Mayor to a Manager and 8
Commissioners as the present council
were charged with extravigance and
many claimed, in their voting, that
change could be no worse.
Now comes the question of cleo
ting the three commissioners, who
shall run the City, hire the manager
and other officers, and already there
is pull to elect crowd favorable
to this or that crowd of aspirants.
There is talk of naming Hardness,
Wann, Joe Basgall, Holm, Chitten-
den, Smith, Klugg, Schueler, Phil
Jacobs, Carrick, Maxwell
Among the people in general it
is urged that Commissioners be Sc
lected who are representative, who
have the time to give to it, and who
will keep down expenses. The most
talked of ticket is W. A. Smith for
the streets and alleys, Thomas Car
rick for general business, with Ex-
county treasurer, Philip Jacobs as
Finance commissioner A caucus will
be held at the City Hall, and then
several tickets or names will likely
be placed on the ballot by petition
and let the voters at the polls do the
selecting.
