ness, neglect or Indifference, not
intentional, We believe, but never

the festive mischief.maker has
been found on q few premises,
where the owners should have
been on guard, and propagating
IS rapidly as it does, trouble has
been spread broadcast and all the
good work done has counted for
naught in those neiQhborhoods. 50
1t is but mete and proper that the
guilty ones should have the full
measure of the law dealt out to
them.
A house-to-house inspection has
been most carefully made by con-
scientious inspectors under the
personal supervision of q trained
engineer, . government man. and
householders owe it to themselves
If not to their neighbors and the
public at large, to watch carefully
and constantly. never relaxing
their efforts to help keep Natchi-
toches mosquitoless. which after
all is not hard work, ~ over half
the battle has been fought and
won and only eternal vigilance is
necessary.
Citizens Of Natchltoches, watch
out, keep on guard, you've had
fair warning, more than fair, as it
has been repeated thru the press,
BY dodgers and personally. and all
