I
A MAN-SIZE JOB AWAITS
CITY OFFFICIALS
It ayes i.oi matter who may oe elect-
ed to xiie unices oi mayor ana commis-
sioner, the press win work w.m mein
laitniuiiy lor tile upouuuing oi tne city
of .Denison. We snail criticize tnern .when
we tmnk they need it and praise like-
wise when it is deserv.r.g as has been, our
custom. We are still, as we have always
been conscientiously agair.st any and all
municipal ownership of utilities, and
shall most vigorously oppose any steps
to take them over by the city.
I We do not handle the waterworks
system any too well as it 4s, and the
Lord only knows what would happen if
we get more intricate matters like elec-
tricity and gas services on cur hands.
There are matters enough r.ow with
which to deal or the part of city affairs
to handle without taking on more that
will most certainly prove headaches, not
to mention the political cesspool which
it will create should we take over some
other utilties as it was planned to do
and which the mayor-protem promised
would g ve us ia ta*-frer. city once we
had them in hand.
We need to get out of our heads
this business of trying to manage the
world of utilities when we can't manao
to the best what we now have. We h ave
enough complaining now by tax payers
on not getting the kind of service they
think they should have.
And if we have plenty of ills about
which we know, why the dickens do we
want to hold dreamy ideas of flying to
those ills of which we do not know?
Possibly there are ways in which our
city expenses may be cut down now if
our city commissioners and mayor km w
where to look to find them and will ap-
ply the needful remedy.
About the best thing that could be
done following the election, is for the
commissioners and mayor to got together
immediately following their election and
go, over every item of expense from the
lowest to the greatest and sec- where the
least item of cost may be reduced.
There may be some howling when
budgets are cut and certain eliminations
made, but in times like these there is
every need that our city’s expenses shall
be cut tc the bone and even some of
those budgets which would be all right
ir. peace times, entirely done away witu
and all upkeep stopped short or .severely
curtailed,
If man power is an item in the Na-
tion, then that man power which we an
using for something that does not con-
tribute directly to the city’s war effon
or Is ahsolutelv essential maintenance for
functioning as a city, should be dealt the
death blow.
Doing that as heads of the city wi.'
be a man-size job without getting ideas
into our heads of taking over the various
utility companies. We shall be lucky now
if we miss being sued for our very shirts
for what we have already done in the
way of getting mixed up in a utility
buyirg movement. So let’s attend to our
own knitting and do it a-s efficiently and
■inexpensively as is humanly possible and
that will please the greater part of the
people more thar. anything else right at
this time.

Rabbits are marching to the
rescue of the meat shortage. Ac-
cording to R. E. Callender"<>I the
A. and M. College Extension Ser-
vice, rabbit fryers are produced
quickly, and “the home use of
their fine grain, pearly white nu-
tritious meat will add variety to
the family diet.”
Callender, who is Extension
game management specialist,
says that rabbit raising requires
little space and equipment, and
may be carried on in city back
yards as well as on the farm.
Only 90 days are required after
the doe is mated until four and
one-half pound fryers are ready
for th|e skillet. With proper
feeding the young are ready for
consumption at about two
months.

domestic rabbits Callender sug-

WHAT
OTHER EDS
ARE THINKING
WHOSE IS THE HAKE?
(Paris News)
Plans of some Texas and Okla-
homa legislators, sportsmen and
just plain citizens to make a co-
operative fishing resort of the
lake that is being formed by the
dam at Denison have struck a
snag. Governor Kerr is reported
as giving the cold shoulder to the
proposal.
Several days ago a group in-
cluding legislators of the two
states, official and plain John
Citizens, met in Ardmore and dis-
cussed steps to formulate and
present to the legislatures of the
two states a program for control
of the fishing in the lake. It is
such bi-state control to which
Governor Kerr objects. He sird
Oklahoma furnished practically
all the land which will be under
the lake, and that the least Okla-
homa could do would be to retain
sovereignty over that land.
Then the Oklahoma Governor
let his foot slip. He said the
South bank of Red River is by
deerqe of United States Supreme
Court, the boundary line (which
is correct), and he added, “It
may be that when the lake is
formed behind the dam the South
bank of the River will extend
southward. Of course that will
be a matter to be determined by
the courts.”
The Supreme Court did so de-
termine, and it fixed the South
cut bank at where it was when
the treaty between France and
Spain was made, which transfer-
red sovereignty of what is now
Texas. That decision remains in
Texas Clean-Up
WeekNamedAs
April 4 to 10
Governor Coke R. Stevenson
has named April 4 to 10 Health
and Clean-Up Wieek by official
proclamation, and expressing his
appreciation for this act, Dr.
Geo. W. Cox, State Health Offi-
cer, declared today, “The old ad-
age that ‘cleanliness is next to
Godliness’ from the practical
standpoint is well worth empha-
sizing.”
Cities and towns in Texas will
observe tfhis week by conducting
clean-up programs of far-reaching
range. Scheduled to be included
in their activities are cleaning,
draining, graveling streets and
alleys, cleaning parks and play-
grounds and clearing off Vacant
lots.
“Destruction of mosquito
breeding places and fire hazards,
and the proper disposal of garb-
age and trash will be encour-
aged,” Dr. Cox said, “as well as
a thorough spring house-cleaning
for cities and homes. Good
housekeeping and ordinary Sani-
tary measures demand the
prompt removal of all waste mat-
ter in and around yards and
homes in order to keep the prem-
ises clean. This will eliminate
fire hazards and help to prevent
the spread of many diseases, and
no doubt much scrap material
will be collected which will aid
in our war effort.”
Dr. Cox urged that all Texans
cooperate in making Health and
Clean Upi Week a complete suc-
cess since its worthwhile object-
ive is to lessen needless fosses by
fire and help maintain the high
est possible health level in this
state.
Farm Workers
Reclassified
In Farm Drive
The Denison draft board, along
with other like boards, have been
ordered to reclassify essential
farm workers over 38 years of
age and in Class IV-H, and
placed under Class II-C at some
time prior to the first of May,
according to the Texas USDA
War Board.
The purpose of the reclassifi-
cation is to place workers beyond
military age limit into classes to
which they properly belong by
reason of occupational, ] depend-
ency or other status.
The usual rulles of industion
and deferment will apply to re-
classified men if and when men
over 38 years are called into the
armed forces.
The four-point program agreed
upon by the man-power commis-
sion, the selective service system
and the Department of Agricul-
ture is to keep necessary agri-
cultural workers on the farm.
Points covered ip, the program
are as follows:
that line will ,be in, Texas and
subject to Texas game law regu-
force today. It resulted ,in some lations. Governor Kerr had as
land, that looked like it was in
Texas being put back in Ok'abomn and anyone who has an idea of
well make up his mind as to that,
and some the other way around.
The boundary will be where the
Supreme Court said it was and
that portion of the lake South of
having the courts settle the ques-
tion, as the Governor intimates
may be done, will waste his time
and money.
1 State and county USDA war
boards are authorized and in-
structed to seek deferment of
necessary farm workers when the
worker or employer fails to re-
quest deferment, and to take ap-
peals from local board decisions
regarding farm workers when
such action is (justified.
(2) Local draft boards will re-
fer to war boards] farm workers
who are not producing sufficient
agricultural Units to justify class-
ification in Class II-C or IIII-C
and will a'low 30 days for place-
ment whene workers can produce
the required number of units;
(3) Local draft boards are in-
structed to classify in Class II-C
or III-C any registrant with
agricultural experience who has
left the farm for other work,
provided he returns to agriculture
and becomes regularly engaged in
and essential to it prior to his re-
ceipt of order to report for in-
duction into the armed forces;
(4) Local draft boards are in-
structed not to reclassify neces-
sary farm workers out of de-
may be built
of scrap material, should be
adapted to the requirements of
two mature does. Outside meas-
urements should he approximately
30 inches width, 20 inches
height and 10 to 12 feet length.
A V-shaped hay rack fhade of
3-4 inch poultry wire may he
placed in tho center to serve both
compartments. A slide trough
eight inches wide and one inch
deep deneath the hay rack will
hold grain and catch hay leaves.
Scif-eleanjng type floors are best
made with one by two inch slats,
nr with half inch meshi
hardware cloth.
A home-mixed grain and pro-|
tein ration, supplemented by
bread scraps, fresh vegetable
trimmings, or home-grown vege-
tables and roots provide proper
feed. Additional information
may be obtained from county ex-
tension agents.

Still After
Eliminating
Loan Sharks
“There are many people who—
(because of illness or death in
the family or some other emer-
gency—need $25 or $50 or even
more and they simply must have
it now,” declared Rep. W. W.
Rridgers in Austin in discussing
his proposed Constitutional
amendment, which was unani-
mously approved by a committee
of the House of Representatives,
and is now pending before the
House.
“All that amendment does is
to allow the legislature to enact
such legislation as, in its wisdom,
it deems desirable so that these
borrowers, who simply must have
the money, can borrow it on a
liye-and-let-live basis and not be
at the mercy of merciless loan
sharks.
“Texas has waited long
enough; it is imperative that we
act now; soldiers and war work-
ers are being plundered, and the
war effort thereby injured and
impeded.”
