Bcdbugs by their bite are thought
to carry disease. and while this has
not yet been definitely proved, every
effort should be made to exterminate
them.
Mosquitoes are carriers Of mala-

That he should make Blanche or

THE TINE TO ACT Is NOW

The charge made by The Worlds statf cor
respondent at Oklahoma City. that the state
machine is attempting to organize the legisia-
ture for q raid on the treasury. is amply justi-
fkd BY known facts and past pcrforma nccs,
Thpt part Of the program Ia to try and draw
into the scheme even republican members OF
tAc legislature from counties having state insti-
tutions. Is also true.
sAnd this recalls tho statement OF a former
governor Of Oklahoma. that II tha creation of
useiess state institutions allowed to go much
further the legislature would fall into tho hands
of a blundorbund completely controlled by iegis-
lauve agents representing counties IN which
were located some state institution whose sue
AZ legislators would bc measured by their
ability to get appropriations for such institu-
tons.
Oklahoma stands pertlousy near that condi-

bushels per acre compared with "a

will be better
"Ok!ahoma's cotton crop still
lacks a considerable percentage of

FRIENDSHIP

Copyright, 1920, by Edgar A, Guest)
The rain Is sent to bring the flowers to bloom
Beyond the clouds which veil the sky with
gray,
The dreariness and darkness OF the day.
There Is a hint of summertimes perfume;
Pink petals soon to Danish all the gloom,
And April followed by the smiling May,
Tho popp!es nodding where the children
play
And roses ready for the living room,
Thus, when the tears Of grief are ours TO
shed,
Out of the anguish and the deep despair,
The bitter mourning for our precious dead
There comes the love OF all who truly care.
Whonever sorrow on a life descends
Into full blossom burst the souls OF friends.
