public and the taxpayers informa-
tion as to the manner in which their
tax dollar is being spent" said Ford
A. Chattcrs of the Lindsay Gazette,
chairman of the y. Z. y. legislative
committee. Certainly there should
be no objection as to publication Of
financial report by the school
trustee in my own district, and !
Know our board would welcome it. -
Another bill approved by the as
'ociation is :. b. 1871, by Senator
Frank Merriam of Long Beach.
1t provides that if an editor ad
mits an error and publishes a retrac.
tion of libcl0us statement, that in
suit for damages the plaintiff may
recover no more than actual dam.

INFLUENZA MAY
. BE WARDED OFF
BY FOLLOWING THIS
GOOD ADVICE

Get plenty of sleep in a we'll
ventilated room. Eat regularly,
sparingly, Of wholesome food. Elk
ercise each day in the open air.
Walk to work if possible. Avoid
crowds, and keep away from all
who evidently are suffering from
colds. Treat a cold promptly at the
start. 1t is better to stay in bed
for a day or two than to take a
chance with a cold.
These and similar bits Of COM
nonsense advice have been given
out by health officials in almost
every section where influenza Is
severe. The public in general is
becoming educated to take proper
precautionary measures. The pre-.
Vention is easier than the cure.
Now with the germs of colds,
grippe, and influenza almost every
where. many are finding Vapex Of
the utmost value. It is the most
modern way of combating the al.
ways-with-us cold evil. Vapex is
pleasant to use. Put a drop on
your handkerchief. Breathe the
tnvigorating vapor. Do this often
during the day and your head stays
clear. Vapex will stop a cold at
the start. Your druggist has it for
$1.00-in the little square bottle
and the package with the green tri.
angle. Fifty applications in every
bottle.

INSECTS YIELD
To FIGHT Of
z STATES

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. ii IN.
S.).-What the combined entomol-
ogical forces of the States and Fed.
eral governments can do to ex.
terminate insect pests had been
vividly demonstrated since 1923 in
the establishment in New Jersey
and New York Of a gypsy moth
barrier zone, beyond which the
moth has been unable to spread
itslf to destroy plant life in the
States to the south and west.
But If additional funds to ex-
terminate this pest are not soon
forthcoming, the New York State
Conservation Department warns,
the beneficial effects of the barrier
zone may go for naught.
In 1923. the conservation depart
ment recalls, the State of New
Jersey actively co-operated with
the United States Department of
Agriculture in stamping out a seri-
Gus isolated gypsy moth infesta-
ton in that State. New York
State was forced to enter the fight
the same year when the moth
crossed the Eastern New York
boundary. This gave rise to the
gypsy moth barrier zone" a bar.
rier, the conservation department
proudly states, (which has stood
the test, prevented the spread and
protected the States to the south
and, west for five years"
Warning other States that the
economic status of the moth must
not be disregarded, the New York
State Conservation Department re-
ports that the danger at this time
lies in the territory east of the
barrier which is constantly feeding
new infestations into the barrier
zone requiring the work in the
zone to be done over and over
again"
THE States that have so far es-
capped this plague" adds the warn
ing, "can credit their good fortune
to the forces that have been in
strumental in checking its spread
and should be anxious to extend
their support to see that adequate
Federal funds are provided TO de-
liver a crushing blow in the area
east Of New York State that now
endangers the barrier zone"

DOUBTFUL

The State Department would not
confirm today the reported appoint
ment of j. P. Morgan as one of the
American delegates to the forth
coming meeting of the Preparations
Commission.
Secretary of State Kellogg said
he had heard Mr.. Morgan's name
mentioned" along with other prom
inent American bankers and bust
ness men, but declared he had no
official knowledge of Mr.. Morgan's
reported selection.
If the allied governments do chose
Mr. Morgan. it was said. the APP
pointment would be satisfactory to
this Government.
BERLIN, Jan. IA .S0.-While
the German government was with
out official news that ]. p. Morgan
has been appointed an American OBJ
served on the new reparations com.
mittee of experts. it was semi.
officially declared today that Mr..
Morgan is very agreeable"
His appointment, it is expected,
would exclude politics from the
forthcoming repara lions deliberations
so that the experts could treat the
subject from a strictly economic
and financial standpoint. carrying
the negotiations to a successful con.
clusion.
There is a division Of opinion in
financial circles over the reported
appointment.
