shame. For some the Garden Insec-
ticide powder and for others the
liquid insecticide, but unremitting
warfare of one sort or another must
be carried on throughout the season
if paying crop is to be harvested.
So after all, our scientific friend
was unquestionably much nearer the
mark than our two friends who jeer-
ed at this prophecy. The insect con-
quest, if it ever comes, is a matter
of centuries in the future, that is
quite true, but there is plenty of
reason for starting a determined Of
fensive against all forms of insect
pests right here and now. No less an
authority than Colonel M. A. Reas-
oner of the United States Army Med
ical Corps has stated that, directly
and directly, insects have caused
more deaths than all the wars Of
history added together. When you
consider on top of that the billions
of dollars worth of property they de-
stroy every year, it is easy to see
that no small problem confronts us.
Let us put into effect that well
known army maxim, "a determined
offensive is the best defense" and
prepare in all seriousness to defend
our lives and property against these
tiny but all too powerful adversar-
les.

NOTICE TO THE CITIZENS
OF MILFORD

The question of wasting water is
a very important one to every tax
payer in the town of Milford. Very
few people realize the amount of
water lost through leaky water fix
lures, and also that every drop of
water that is wasted has to be
paid for by the taxpayers. There
fore, it is to the interest of every
individual to not only repair all
leaks as quickly as possible, but to
influence others to do the same.
