"We must have that cooperation If we

The majority ~ the ladies Of Browns

there are some who are not sufficiently

Of this campaign and who do not real

There Is class Of citizens here who
say we always had mosquitoes ana
they are apparently satisfied to let i

doomed TO be victims OF the mosquito
pests all their lives-and they will be
unless they do their part in making this

have been controlled in other cities Of
