she could." She will be missed

ing, for she suffered much.
She has one sister, Mrs. Terry
Phillips, the only immediate rel-
ative now living. She has one
niece, Mrs. Alberta McAden, and
one great-niece, Nickie Beth Mc-

POSTMASTER WARNS
AGAINST NEW CHAIN
LETTER SCHEME
Attention to sthe Pos-t Office De-
partment's warning against a new
type of chain letter which asks
that $2 be sent to the person
named at the top of a list, is call-
ed by Postmaster Moran Dunlap.
"It appears that the originators
of the new scheme have the er-
roneous belief Ithat by not send-
ing the letter through the mails,
they will escape prosecution," the
Postmaster's warning said, "This
is not the case. The new scheme
now spreading through the nation
warns participants not to mail the
letter but to keep it and send $2
to the person named at the top
of 'the list.
"Attention of the public is in-
vited to the fact that depositing
any matter, including money, for
transmission through the mails in
furtherance of this scheme, is a
violation."

STATE HEALTH OFFICER
WARNS AGAINST DANGER
OF MALARIA AFTER RAINS
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health
Officer, today issued a warning
against the danger of malaria fol-
lowing the heavy rainfall, which
has finally broken the drought in
many sections of the State.
"Malaria will remain a major
public health problem as long as
breeding places are accessible to
the female Anopheles mosquito,"
Dr. Cox said. "Every household-
er should make sure that there are
no tin cans, broken bottles, or oth-
er types of rubbish on his premis-
es thalt will hold waiter and offer
breeding places to this enemy of
health."
Dr. Cox pointed out thait in our
practice of mosquito control, we
are sometimes like the man who
locked the stable door after the
horse was already stolen; we are
contenit to wait until all our pre-
mises are swarming with mos-
quitoes before we bring ourselves
into active warfare against these
recognized agents of malaria
transmission.
Dr. Cox further stressed the
importance of conserving the pub-
lic health and preventing the
spread of disease in our present
crowded housing condition, and he
also emphasized the fact that
malaria is one of the more debil-
itating diseases, often causing its
victim to lose weeks or even
months from his regular employ-
ment or from school attendance.
Said Dr. Cox: "The best cure
for malaria is prevention. Make
sure your premises are free from
any stagnant waters, in which may
breed the female Anopheles mos-
quito that transmits the disease."'

SOMERVELL COUNTY IS
RAISING QUALITY HOGS
Swine raising demonstrations
by 4-H club boys are being given a
big share of the credit for improv-
ing the quality of hogs in Somer-
vell county.
It all started, says County a-
gent Doyle Cooper, when the club
swine program sponsored by the
Texas A. and M. College Exten-
sion Service got under way, four
years ago. Eight registered
Duroc gilts and a registered boar
were brought into the county for
the club boys. The offspring of
those hogs has formed the basis
for a swine improvement program
which has upped the quality of
Somervell county swine as much
as 75 per cent, says ithe county
agent. A new registered boar
was brought into the county each
year. In many cases, quality of
the stock on some farms was more
than doubled during the four year
period.
G. W. Riddle, Somervell county
farmer, showed the real value of
well-bred swine, says Cooper,
when he bought six common pigs
and fattened them out with two
runt pigs which he had kept from
a litter of good stock. At killing
time the runts from the good stock
outweighed the common, normal-
sized hogs by 125 pounds.
Mrs. Lester Smith will begin
classes in Tap, Acrobatic and Bal-
let Dancing Monday, Sept. 15.
Registration by letter or telephone
by Friday, Sept. 12. Free in-
formation upon request. Tele-
phone 120, Box 333, Meridian,
