GET RID OF THE MOSQUITO

Mayor Miller has recently put on
strenuous campaign to eliminate
the mosquito ard he should have
the cooperation Of every man, woman
and child in the corporate limits of
the city of Covington. To be rid
Of this pest will not only make Cow
ington clean city, but will lessen
the probability of illness, which the
mosquito causes. Mr.. Miller notified
all the property owners and other
residents to gather up all refuse
cans, cartons and anything which
would hold water and the city would
haul them away and dispose of the
rubbish.
1t behooves all persons to take
notice Of this and help the officials
of the town, who are endeavoring to
make the csmpGin success, to as
sist them.
We are informed that the flight
Of a mosquito is 300 feet, unless
driven by high wind, and as they
are So prolific, diligence is the watch
word in getting rid Of them. 1t has.
been proven beyond a doubt that
fevers, malaria and other infections
ire carried by the mosquito. Two
demonstrations in malaria control
were carried out in West Tennessee
in 1919 through cooperative effort
of the United States Public Health
Service, State Board of Health, In
ternatfohal Health Board and the
communities, and two others by the
same agencies in 1921, which show
that malaria can be eliminated. In
terested communities should consult
the State Board of Health.
Before the year 1916 Nassau
county, in the State of New York,
was riddled with, malaria, just as
West Tennessee is today. The medi-
cal profession, who see only about
one out of every five cases that oc-
cur reported over 450 cases in the
county yearly. After the united eff
forts Of the people in the past year
(192O) there were no cases reported,
while in 1916 there were Sc. What
has been done in New York can be
done right here in Covington and
Upton county, for the mosquitoes
abound in the country as well as in
towns.

STATE ROAD WORK
COST TO INCREASE

According to members of the state
highway commission, says a news
dispatch from Nashville, the cost Of
highway construction in the state
will be advanced several thousand
dollars per mile and many of the con-
tractors now at work on. yarious
projects will lose all their profits
by reason Of the decision of the IN,
terstate commerce commission in
permitting the railroads in Tennes-
see to increase the rate on stone
and gravel % per cent on or before
October ID, upon five days. notice.
The road contractors who have a
cause in their contracts bv which
the present freight rate is guaran-
teed by the highway commission will
not be affected, but there are onlv a
few of these, according to members
OF the board. In West Tennessee
contractors. it is said, will be espec-
tally hard it.

GREATEST MERCHANT FLAYS
FORDNEY TARIFF

In response to inquiries from
Chambers of Commerce and business
men, John G. Shedd, president Of
Marshall Field & Co., the greatest
merchant in the word, has this to
say Of the Fordney tariff bill. mon
strosity:
ut is vital that Congress be made
to understand that law that pro-
hibits our buying products Of for
eign manufacture will make it i'm
possible for Europe to purchase our
surplus farm products, raw ma
materials, etc. Europe can only pay
in its products; it has not the gold.
This tariff bill now before the
finance committee of the United
States Senate contains many pro-
visions destructive to American bust
ness, and will impose upon the con-
sumner the burden Of higher prices.
Chief among its Objectionable fea-
lures is the so-called American
valuation plan
"The merchant who must buy his
wares six months to a year or more
in advance and be compelled to make
such purchases with no idea Of what
some American expert or manufac-
turer thinks should have been paid
for the goods is not only placed in
an impossible position, but is actual
ly prohibited from trading in foreign
goods. It is my judgment that this
particular feature Of the Fdrdney
tariff bill will be so destructive to
the revival of American business
that q forceful protest should be sent
to Washington.
On the other hand, if poor judg-
ment is used in framing the laws on
these three great questions tariff,
taxation and transportation we viii
re doubt stumble on through a period
Of uncertainty, business stagnation'
and unrest.g

DON'T BAcKsLIDE

From all indications cotton is 60.
ing to bring q good price, not the
high price of the past, but consider
ing the cost Of production, good
price. II cotton continues to 60 up,
or even remains at its present price,
it will mean great deal to the
county and viii go long way
toward putting it on its financial
feet.
The reason for the advance in cot
ton is plain. A short crop-good
price. This is as evident as it would
be that we get low price next year
for a big crop.
We have made long stride this
year toward putting Upton county
in the right kind Of farming bushes
Today in Upton county there are
approximately rs farmers shipping
cream, bringing in a steady weekly
income, the greater percentage Of
which il being made from roughage
that would otherwise be wasted on
the farm. A year ago onere were
less than three regular shippers of
cream. Today there are approx
mately 600 acres of Strawberries, one
of the safest and surest Of all per-
ishable crops. Jog your memory
and see if you can remember com
plete failure of this crop. We have
had light crops and big prices;
heavy crops and low prices. The
frost, the wind and rains have dam
aged us, but we always manage to
have balance on the right side Of
the ledger from this king Of small
fruits. The consumption of this crop
is increasing every year, besides the
large amount that is eaten in the
raw state, preserves, jellies, syrup
for the manufacture of soft drinks
and other products are made in larger
quantities every year,
From present indications, 10 or is
cars Of sweet potatoes will be cured
and marketed comparatively from this
county-a good start in the right
direction. This is another crop that
is being profitably grown over the
entire South, the Northern and East
ern markets using more Southern
yam potatoes every year.
Let US keep our farming opera
lions in the right direction that we
have started and don't backslide to
the one-crop system.
Think this over for a profitable
system Of farming in our county: A
few good milk cows, a few good brooc
sows, few acres Of strawberries,
a few acres Of sweet potatoes and
lots of corn, hay and then some cot
ton.

WHY NOT HELP; NOT HINDER

Why not grant that every city of.

Whatever you may think of his

cerity?
Get together with the officials on

operate with them and see the re-

If we do this there would then be
no stopping Of the growth and de-
velopment of our community.
Destructive criticism works
three-fold injury. 1t harms the
official by creating in the minds Of
the unthinking the suspicion that his
intentions are not sincere
1t harms the city because it places
tremendous difficulties in the way Of
officials who are trying to better
and improve conditions.
When city officials neglect their
ties they should be criticized, but
when they are trying improve cc
ditions they are entitled to your sup
ort and cooperation.

DIPHTHERIA AND SMALLPOX
APPEARING IN THE STATE

DR.. Olin West, executive office
and secretary of the State board O.
health, sounds a warning agains
diphtheria, offic&i reports Of tn,
presence of several cases havinl
come from two Middle Tennessee,
counties Davidson and Montgom
ery), and unofficial reports having
been received Of the presence of the
disease in two other counties. Ht
says it will be absolutely necessary
to use every precaution to prevent
the spread of diphtheria at thi:
time on account of the fact that the
schools of the state will soon open
and an epidenmic of diphtheria would
prove very serious at this time.
Extreme care should be giver
children" he says, "and should any
evidence of sore throat manifest it.
self a physician should be called al
once and make an examination"
According to DR.. West, more
diphtheria was reported in Tennes.
see last year than for many years
previous, and the unusual prevalence
at that time was due to the disre-
gard on the part of parents of iso-
lating measures which should be en-
forced in every instance.
at was due ialsO;' says DR.. West,
ITO the criminal disregard for quar-
antine laws. I personally inVesti-
gated a number of cases of diph-
liberia last year," he continues, "and
found in every instance that children
from the same home where an ac-
tive case of diphtheria was housed
were allowed to continue in school"
Diphtheria is a disease of the fall,
winter and early spring months, and
it is very disquieting to health Off
cials to be receiving reports Of the
presence of diphtheria in the state
at this time Of year, according to DR..
West.
Some authorities believe that long
dry seasons have decided influence
on diphtheria prevalence, and if this
theory be correct, then it is natural
to expect an increasing number of
cases. Consequently it is absolutely
says DR.. West, that all
necessary precautions be taken to
prevent dissemination of the disease.
DR.. West says that diphtheria an
titoxin may be secured for prices
greatly below those which prevailed
formerly, and that every county
health board is able to furnish the
necessary doses to persons who Are
un BILE to procure the anti-toxin.
"Anti-toxin is the sheet-anchor in
the treatment of diphtheria," says
DIR. West, "and in cases where itIis
in the early stages it
is almost a specific. The longer it's
is deferred the less
chance the patient has for recovery.
Reports have also come to the
state board Of several smallpox cases
within the past several days, the
cases being reported from Sumner
county and thought to have original
ed in Southern Kentucky.
In view of these reports and the
fact that the schools will open soon
for the fall term, DR. West urges
that no child be admitted to any
school unless competent evidence is
to show that such child
has been successfully vaccinated.
The numbes of deaths from small
box for the wears 1918-1920, accord
ng to DR.. West, are twice as great
IS those for any other year for the
previous five-year period.

f. II. Sinkler Working on Plan for
MinOt Potato Warehouse

To devise some plan whereby po-
tato warehouse can be built and oper-
ated in Minot for the benefit of the
potato growers in this section of the
state is the purpose of committee
appointed Tuesday by the board of
directors of the Minot Association of
Commerce at that body's regular
weekly meeting. E. r. Sinkler, who
is keenly interested in such project,
met with the board and exchanged
views as to how warehouse could
be financed and operated. The COM
mittee which will develop a plan adj
vanced by Mr.. Sinkler consists of w.
j. Gerding, Peter Ehr, M. r. Porter,
E. S. Person, R. E. Barron. Anthony
Walton, E. r. Sinkler, B. B. Mouck,
A. S. Spicher and Jourgen Olson.
81 am convinced that it is possible
to have a comparatively owned potato
warehouse built and operated in Minot
if the business men Of this city and
the farmers of this district work to-
gether on the proposition" Mr.. Sink
Ter said.
The Association Of Commerce plans
on calling a meeting of this commit
tee some time before the Corn and
Potato Show for the purpose of adopt
ing some definite policy to pursue and
presenting this plan to farmers and
business men during the show.
Mr.. Sinkler will speak on the pro-
ject at the meeting to be held Sat-
urday afternoon Nov. 10, in connec-
tion with the show. The matter will
also be discussed by speakers at the
meeting to be held at the show Friday
afternoon, Nov. 18.
"The Association Of Commerce is
interested in any movement which will
work to the advantage of our farmers
and we can see no reason why potato
warehouse cannot become reality in
Minot," C. E. Danielson, president of
the Association said today.
