Importance of a complete sanitary: survey such as
is now contemplated for the county
The tuberculosis map of Marion County was e1-

causing expressions Of anazement at the lnToads

county may prove Illuminating as the rubercu-
losis survey, and the truth thus brought out VIII
way correction Of existing ills and pre-
vention of evils that may threaten.
There is no need for the state health department
to fear that health programs as conducted in Mar
ion County prey to ineRicency because OF being
a paything for politics. The health OF the county
is not gam boiled with in order to employ pensioners
, or to ia Ike Of political debts. Marion County
hasa splendid full time health personnel, in
charge of health Officers who know their business,
and are thoroughly capable and efficient. When
the survey is completed by the state experts who
will conduct it, the health units both IN city and
county will be able to profit by the facts brought
out, and will know how to proceed to eliminate
weak points in the county sanitation. and guard
against conditions that might produce serious re-
suits in the Of epidemic illness.
The survey will be excellent thing and the
public should cooperate in every way possible to
produce result that is complete and thorough in
every detail.

CLAY CENTER, Kan, June Is
Indian fighters throughout the coun-
try observe June Is, the 46th ami
versary of Clusters Last Fight.
Clusters Last Fight may we'll be
called milestone in the battle OF
civilization which resulted in the
opening of the Great West, says
Luther Barker, commander of the
National Indian War Veterans, who
lives here. 1T took this sacrifice
to make the American people UNI
derstand that there was an almost
constant war in progress all over
the West"
Barker scouts the idea that the
Custer massacre had its messenger
of death"
"Sole survivors of the Custer
massacre have in the last few years
become as plentiful as were Wash
ington's body servants a generation
or two ago. But there were no sur
vivors of Clusters immediate COM
mand that day" he declares. "The
only living thing that was ever
found that went into that fight was
Captain Kcough's horse 'Comanche.
'Comanche' was found several days
later, shot seven times, and was
taken to the fort where his wounds
we're dressed. But other survivors
no"
Neither does Barker think Custer
was to blaIIe, and he quotes at
length from orders to prove that
Custer was but obeying instructions
and acted as any other efficient com
lmander would under the circum-
STANCES.
