against the mosquito is being carried on It would be hard to overestimate the value of this. work to the many communi ties where it has proceeded, aided by co. operation of industrial enterprises and the public. .
 The mosquito, by spreading malaria wherever the pest is permitted to breed, imposes heavy burdens of expense, in- convenience, ill-health, and anxiety. The cost of effective anti-mosquito cam- paigns is negligible. These anti-malaria efforts are in no sense a matter of sentiment or luxury. They are intensely practical and have direct bearing upon community's economic interests. They involve direct obligation upon the pulp lie authorities and a civic duty upon the citizens. They are in broad sense an agency for the public safety and the pub lie welfare

The Right Word
AGREEMENT IN NUMBER (Find the Error in This ArtlcIe)
By CURTIS NICHOLSON

Let us consider a very common error.
 However, let us first examine the words each, every, any one, either. and everybody They are in the singular number.
 Therefore, when you use one of these words and later in the same sentence refer to il with Another word the second word should not be ill the plural number:
 To illustrate, let us examine the following sentence. If any one has found my pen, let them bring it to me at once.
 But any one is singular. Therefore, them should be changed to him. Yes, of course there may be women in the gathering, but unless the group is only made up of women him is correct.
 It is such a sentence as the following that gives so many trouble; Every one of those present were pleased with the entertainment Every one is singular, and so were should be changed to was.
 is the following Everybody knew their name would be called. The idea is that everybody that is, each person. knew that his name would be called, Therefore. the sentence cor. rectly spoken is Everybody knew his name would be called"
 "Aint" ..i
 Occasionally one of the readers of this column has the temerity to inquire whether the word ain't is ever correct. The answer is of course, no.

GOING DOWN!

Dear Reader: A welI-known man. in eel ebrating his ninetieth birthday, remarked that he always ate what liked him. l fear many of us do not follow this sage's advi"e, or suggestion.
 There is no question but that we know what likes us, yet we are led away by temp tation and at what often makes us regret we have taken it. We must remember that those who urge us to eat this or that do not have to suffer in case it does not agree with us.
 While we are on the subject of eating it might not be amiss to remark that there i' a great difference in the manner in which we eat. We must be surrounded with con genial people and in a cOngenial atmosphere Ii does not pay to bother the animals while they are eating We find this out in the zoo but never apply it to ourselves.

Rubbing Out Marks
By JOHN CARLYLE

If you chance, to walk along lower Fifth avenue in New York city some day you may see this large sign over a shop: "Damages in Goods Made Invisible"
 It catches your eye. It appeals to your imagination. Is it possible that damages in goods-any kind of goods-can be made in visible?
 Is it possible that scars can be washed away?
 Damages in wood and stone, in cloth and paper, in all the material things of life may be repaired until the marks are not more. But how about the damages, to the imma- terial, the intangible things of life? That is different and that is more important.
 For the intangible spiritual things of life are the vital ever-livng things And dam ages thereon can not be wiped away.
 There is such thing as repentance and such a thing as forgiveness and such thing as paying the penalty. But there is no such thing as taking away the scars.
 We can play fast and loose with our lives. We can indulge ourselves without regard to judgment or justice. And we can come back onto higher plane and travel a new path. But somehow, somewhere we shall be marred. Somehow we shall not be the same again. Something will have gone that can never come again.
 It is always worth while to climb back out of the swamp of mistakes. It is always worth while to be repentant and to go for ward with new resolution. But we might as we'll face the facts Damages to- the goods of our lives can not be made invisible.
 With acts so with words Hard and brutal words used in 1e dearest relationships of life can be apologized for. They can De for given. But. they cannot be recalled. They leave scars that last as life lasts. 1.-The moving finger writes, and having writ,
 moves on;
 Nor all your wit, nor all your piety and tears Can wipe out one word of it"

Makes Issue More Attractive.--It was aeOs essary for the state to take all steps possible to remove any doubt of the validity of se. curities issued by it under the amendment or of its authority to construct the port fa- cilities. In asking for the advisory opinion, the state had in mind the protection of its own interests. Investors put their money into bonds because they regard the bonds as safe. If there is doubt the bonds are not as at- tractive as safe investments and as q con- sequence do not bring the same return to the seller. The opinion of the supreme court removes all doubt of the validity of the bonds. It makes this bond issue an attractive investment Money will now be available for the construction of port facilities.

Expert Analysis of the Coming Election

Expert Analysis of the Coming Election Note.-This space should contain a

 ANALYSIS
 (By Amos Q. Pipp) As the election this year will take place all parts or the OnlIeQ SIdCeS IL lS lLu- possible to forecast with any degree of &C., curacy the outcome. Nobody can tell what may happen. Therefore. let us proceed to do so.
 First of all, it must be. remembered that there are more parties in the field than ever before. A careful canvass shows there is al- most one party to every voter. Entering a, voting booth this fall will be the same as entering a cafeteria. The voter will have wide list from which to choose. and If he doesn't get what he wants, it will be no fault of the management. So much, then for the matter of the farm vote and the racial issue. Let us now discuss the candidates.
 CANDIDATES
 The outstanding candidates are Coolidge and Dawes, Republicans Davis and Bryan, Democrats, and La Toilette. and Wheeler, Progressives. They are all good fellows when they have it. (Just at present Coolidge has it.)
 The grave question at present is whether the Republican ticket will be injured by the violin solo that General Dawes once wrote. As far as Bryan is concerned, there IS little hope of his defeating the general unless he does something in the line of a cello duet or reyerie for saxaphone and flute.
 Having thus settled the tariff question let us consider the delicate subject of the cleo toral vote. /l

of the state game warden. Wednes-
day Mr.. Harrison and Mr.. Wallace left
for the reserve.
Wednesday afternoon Sheriff Camp
bell wired The Sun:
"Fredonia, Nov. 10.
"Hunt underway. Licenses issued
to hunters under cooperative agree
ment signed by N. j. Mann, assistant
forest supervisor. Unable to find out
if agreement has been signed by State
Game Warden Willard. | am waiting
arrival of County Attorney Harrison
before instituting proceedings"
There you have the story as far as
the county and state officials are con-
cerned.
1t is believed here that Willard did
sign the cooperative agreement. Gov
ernor Hunt, it is believed, is strongly
opposed to the slaughter of the deer,
especially under any three-for-$5 pro-
position. Willard, apparently, is in
favor of the slaughter.
The licenses are being issued by
forest service men at Houserock
springs. !.
1t is believed that there are two diff
ferent counts on which the hunters
NAV be arrested under the state law
for shooting out of season and for hav-
ing deer in possession. The minimum
fine allowed on the latter count is 500
for each deer. The hunters cannot get
out of the national game reserve into
another state without crossing several
miles of Arizona territory not includ-
ed in the reserve. If County Attorney
Harrison decides on arrest and prose-
cution there will be lively time, and
very likely some of the men will try
to fight the case into the higher court.
Mccormick is rapidly perfecting or
ganization for his drive, with the as
sistance of C. N. Berteling, who has
general charge of details.
Tom Mccullough believes if the
deer are brought down here it will be
good plan to declare closed season
on deer for from one to three years,
at the end of which time there should
be three to five times as many IN our
forests as there now are and good
hunting, which, with proper enforce
ment against shooting for eleven
months each year thereafter should
remain good during all time to come
