Why can't you men be more content?
Instead of always hunting
Against the good there is in life,
You take delight in grunting,
Why don't you see the brighter side
In place OF trouble hunting?
You go about with scowling face
And spend your timeain gruhting.
"For a chance with others to find fault
You're always looking, jumping. .s
Brace up and wear a smile for 0hce
And stop that awful grantingI.

Arkansas Fights Malaria
Arkansas is active in its campaign
against malaria. 1t was agreed that too
little attention was given To the in
roads made upon its population by
this disease, which while not serious
in it's course. disabled and incapacitat-
ed the population to an alarming ex-
tent. So the conference was made a
national affair acting as the malaria
division of the section of Public Health.
Dynamite is used to blow up mos
quito infected areas, and in develop
ing better drainage. Also are min
lows placed in ponds and swamps
which are the enemies of lowering
mosquitoes. This section was very
interesting and proves what is the
general trend-to fight the cause and
not the disease.
One has reflections. Now that war
will pass out, as has the spinning
wheel and the horse, in what manner
will be spent the energy by which
man can climb 10 great heights? win
patriotism, mans most e~nnobling vir-
tue, now be turned to the conserva-

much fervor be the fight made for
