"The outlook for next year is for so
great an increase In demand for pas

Vice President II. G. Rueschaw, OF the

TT will be remembered that last
spring. with the armistice only a few

there is a vast sum of money in circu-
Jation, and In spite OF the best efforts
OF automobile manufacturers to in
crease production, only a compare
lively small part of the demand was
taken care of. This means there are
hundreds of thousands of buyers anx-
iously awaiting delivery and eager

Our farmers, and matter of fact
the farmers throughout the state, are
complaining very much of the de-
struction of their young corn by a
little worm that is unusual in this
section. 1t is not the old army worm
but small green worm that works
in the bud as soon as the corn gets
out of the ground. If it continues
to destroy the bottom corn, it will
prove a greater menace than the boil
weevil, for people cannot get along
without bread.

DENTAL WORK FOR
SCHOOL CHILDREN
(Houston Times-Post)


Old fashioned people would have
scoffed at the idea that the schools
of Houston should look after the
childs teeth yet good teeth are one of
the essentials of good health. If a
child does not have good teeth no
amount of good book learning will
make him a success.
The time will come when all well
conducted schools will have regular
examinations for normal sums. The
more defects they discover, the more
work they get.

TYPHOID FEVER
AND WERAG

Long in regard to the typhoid fever
situation in Starkville and Oktibbeha
County. We give space to it editori-
ally because it is of the utmost i'm
portance to the community. Since
the statement was written there have
been several new cases of typhoid
fever reported. Surely it is up to
citizens of the county and city to get
busy and wage warfare against this
dreaded disease. 1t is time for the
city authorities to get busy and clean
up the bitches and other breeding
places of the deadly fly and mosquito
1t is time for each and every citizen
to see that his house is properly
screened, and that the surface closets
and stables on his premises are
cleaned and have constant attention.
Never was there a more crying
need of sewerage system than ex-
lists in Starkville today. A person
only has to walk block east or
west, north or south to be convinced
of that fact. The good Lord has
been looking after US for some
time, but unless we do something to
help ourselves He will lose patience.
We, as citizens, collectively and
individually, are responsible for the
sanitary conditions of the city. If
unsanitary conditions exist (and the
evidence all goes to show that they
do) in Starkville, each and every citi-
zen is equally responsible for the
death of person whose sickness was
caused by this unsanitary condition.
Some quick and strenuous action
is needed along this line. Would it
not be wise for the Chamber of Com
merce to take this matter up with the
Board of Aldermen, in special ses-
sion would be better, and discuss
ways and means of improving the
sanitation of the city and the con-
struction of modern sewerage sys-
tenn? Read the statement of DR..
Long who speaks with authority, and
then let's get busy. The statement
follows:
eve have today four cases of ty-
phoid fever in the City of Starkville
three-fourths of the houses ineffec-
lively screened; 600 open privies-
ideal fly breeding and feeding places.
Should we get a few more cases,
which we will most assuredly do for
this is extremely early for typhoid,
picture if you can your chance of
getting by this summer without hav-
ing this dreaded disease in your own
home, then I am sure you will see
the odds are against you.
Probably you think this sounds
pessimistic but, friends, this is the
actual situation as it exists and
should someone contract the malady,
more especially should someone die
OF this disease, do not want the
blame laid at my door for it is my
duty to let you know exactly the con-
ditions and / am now asking urging
you to have yourself and your family
vaccinated. This will give you prac-
tically one hundred per cent protec-
tion.
"The state board of health will
furnish the vaccine free and if you
will notify me how many you have
in your family, giving the name of
your family physician, l will see that
he is furnished with the vaccine
and he will give it for a very nomi-
nal sum.
when and wherever practicable
I will be glad to give it myself and
there will be no charge either for the
