Four lives were the price paid at
Merkel, Texas, the other day because
one of the four failed to take seri-
ously the oft-repeated admonition not
to pour kerosene oil into the stove to
start a fire. There are ways one can
use kerosene oil safely to start fires,
but pouring it into the fire box of the
stove, where there may be smoulder-
ing coals, is not one of them.

The Record is not an authority on
the extermination of rats, but feels
(hat it can say unreservedly that, if
the people of Collin County and the
other counties of the state cooperate
in the effort to exterminate or at
least greatly reduce the number of
this filthy and expensive pest, there
will be fewer live j-at-s in Txas after
it’s over by several millions. It ap-
pears that the country is about to be
overrun by rats, as it was some years
ago and the campaign to get rid of
them is timely.

Celina merchants have heen very
busy since the Record was last pre-
viously issued with the result that the
uptown district lias taken on Christ-
masy, Santa Clausy atmosphere. The
Christmas lights in the public square
park are more numerous and have
been strung on park trees in addition
to the light tower. Children are to
be seen gazing into the store windows
with a wistful eye that tells plainer
than words their longing for the
things displayed. The Record trusts
that Santa will not disappoint any of
them.

ko are to improve under the regime
of the newly-installed president of
Mexico and that there will be im-
provement in the administration of
Mexico’s brand of government. The
fact that the installation of President
Camacho was orderly is of itself suf-
ficient reason for believing that Mex
ico is to have a better government
and that our dealings with Mexico
will be more friendly. It is a good
idea for the governments of the West-
ern hemisphere to cooperate in a
friendly way, and much more so when
trouble threatens as it does now.
